Art Education as a Trap
2005
Art education is often talked about as a general good that will solve problems of every description and meet the most varied current problems. In Finland, for example, art education tends to be seen as something that fosters human growth, teaches aesthetic and ethical values, promotes self‐expression and social skills, and meets the challenges of the media age. Any problems that might emerge stem simply from insufficient resources. Instead of continuing what is, probably, a generally known and shared discussion, we want to ask ourselves and others what are the traps art education might conceal, possibly in part under precisely such rhetoric. Our phenomenological perspective emphasises prese…

Le patrie di Guttuso
2021
A trentacinque anni dalla morte di Renato Guttuso, autore che occupa un posto di rilievo nel panorama della pittura del XX secolo, il contributo ne prende in esame la cultura visuale con particolare riferimento alla tradizione siciliana. A partire dalle prove giovanili, al centro di una fortuna controversa, l'articolo offre una disamina della relazione strettissima tra Guttuso e Bagheria ripercorrendo gli esordi dell'artista nel solco della tradizione pittorica tardo-ottocentesca ma non privi di importanti rimandi alla produzione successiva orientata verso una spiccata originalità. Thirty-five years after the death of Renato Guttuso, an author who occupies a prominent place in the panorama …
Contemporary art in higher education: creative pedagogies in political economy
2019
Abstract We propose that contemporary art, which reflects the problems and attitudes of our times, can be used as a way of promoting creativity in disciplines that are not traditionally associated with the arts. Whilst contemporary art is being used as a learning and teaching aid in higher education in a small number of disciplines, it is not normally used in disciplines dominated by rational discourse; an example is economics, on which we focus. We begin by reviewing the literature on art, education and creativity. We then perform an activity with students taking political economy. Students are given the task of selecting a work of contemporary art which “speaks” to them about political ec…
Un saint, un pêcheur, Deux statues de Martial Raysse
2014
International audience; En 1996, Martial Raysse réalise un Saint Sébastien transpercé d'une flèche. L'année suivante, il réutilise le moule de sa statue : la flèche disparaît et la main droite bouge pour tenir un poisson. Cette nouvelle figure, Menis le pêcheur, est inspirée d'une épigramme antique. L'artiste poursuit un retour aux sources entrepris dans les années 1980 : il réinvestit les techniques traditionnelles de la statuaire et puise son iconographie dans des textes anciens. Martial Raysse tisse ainsi des liens entre des histoires intemporelles pour offrir des figures de l'humanité expressives, humbles et dignes.
