Book excerpt: L'extraordinaire abondance de sculptures françaises aux Etats-Unis est révélatrice d'un goût spécifique pour ce domaine de l'art français, mais aussi de la grande proximité des relations historiques et artistiques franco-américaines. Les Etats-Unis sont le pays en-dehors de la France qui compte le plus grand nombre de sculptures françaises et ces dernières y représentent de très loin l'essentiel des sculptures étrangères.Une fois rassemblées, combinées, reliées, elles tissent l'histoire d'un goût. Leur étude permet de déceler des tendances et des périodes, d'identifier des personnalités de marchands, collectionneurs et conservateurs, et de comprendre les canaux d'approvisionnement de ce commerce transatlantique, du lieu de production au lieu de consommation, du lieu de création au lieu d'appréciation.Le propos de cet ouvrage est de donner vie et signification à ces oeuvres en les replaçant dans leur contexte américain.Une première partie souligne le rôle éminemment politique et officiel, outil de message politique lorsqu'il s'agit de célébrer les héros de l'Indépendance américaine, ou de propagande commerciale et industrielle lorsque la France se montre dans le cadre des expositions universelles. Dès sa naissance, les sculpteurs français ont été associés au développement de la nation américaine et de sa société.La deuxième partie est consacrée à la part que prirent les sculpteurs français dans le décor urbain américain, ainsi que dans l'art des parcs et jardins. Ils contribuèrent largement à l'introduction du style Art déco en sculpture ornementale.La troisième partie célèbre la sculpture comme objet de collection, recherchée non plus pour le personnage qu'elle représente, ni pour son rôle de complément de l'architecture, mais véritablement comme objet dont la beauté formelle est l'atout premier.La quatrième et dernière partie est consacrée au sculpteur Auguste Rodin. Rodin était tout à la fois : il représentait l'art d'aujourd'hui, celui du Salon auquel il en

Book excerpt: Many postwar American artists were influenced by French philosophy, literary studies, and social sciences. Accordingly, a number of French authors gathered under the label "French Theory"--a name referring roughly to structuralism and post structuralism--has received sustained attention in the United States. As early as the early 1960s, this reception helped to shape both American artistic practice and the fate of French thought in a crucial way. At the turn of the twenty-first century, the wealth of works from the human sciences and philosophy in American culture became the subject of numerous studies. French Theory and American Art examines some of the main historical conditions of this reception. It considers significant texts, artists, authors, and events that were instrumental in the introduction of French thought into the artistic field of the United States. The relation between artistic creation and theoretical thought, between singular, inventive uses and creative misunderstandings of theory, constitutes the other major question of the present volume.
