The first book by Helene Cixous on painting and the contemporary
arts. This collection gathers most of Helene Cixous' short texts
devoted to contemporary artists, such as the painter Nancy Spero,
the photographer Andres Serrano, the visual artists Roni Horn and
Ernest Pignon-Ernest, the fashion designer Sonia Rykiel and the
choreographer Karine Saporta, among others. The artworks belong to
different genres and media: photography, painting, installations,
film, choreography and fashion design. Nevertheless, Helene Cixous'
texts all deal with some of her privileged themes: exile, war,
violence (against women) and exclusion, as well as love, memory,
beauty and tenderness. Neither art criticism nor critical essays,
Helene Cixous responds to these artworks as a poet, reading them as
if they were poems. Written between 1985 and 2010, most of these
essays are unpublished in English, or published only in rare
catalogues or art books. Key Features *Combines poetic, theoretical
and critical writing and Cixous' unique methodology *Addresses an
