Taking on the myth of France's creative exhaustion following World
War II, this collection of essays brings together an international
team of scholars, whose research offers English readers a rich and
complex overview of the place of France and French artists in the
visual arts since 1945. Addressing a wide range of artistic
practices, spanning over seven decades, and using different
methodologies, their contributions cover ground charted and
unknown. They introduce greater depth and specificity to familiar
artists and movements, such as Lettrism, Situationist International
or Nouveau Realisme, while bringing to the fore lesser known
artists and groups, including GRAPUS, the Sociological Art
Collective, and Nicolas Schoeffer. Collectively, they stress the
political dimensions and social ambitions of the art produced in
France at the time, deconstruct the traditional geography of the
French art world, and highlight the multiculturalism of the French
art scene that resulted from its colonial past and the constant
flux of artistic travels and migrations. Ultimately, the book
contributes to a story of postwar art in which France can be
inscribed not as a main or sub chapter, but rather as a vector in
the wider constellation of modern and contemporary art.
