Une modernité sans avant-gardes
Cet article se propose d’analyser la « photopeinture », que les romans d’anticipation publiés par Albert Robida à la fin du xixe siècle présentent comme l’art du futur. Cette technique incarne le progrès dans les arts, car elle permet de créer des images en couleurs, de n’importe quel format et support. Dans le même temps, elle regarde vers le passé sur le plan esthétique. Dans le monde de Robida, les artistes se spécialisent dans la reproduction…
A Romantic in the Cold War
In 1967 Jonas Mekas traveled to Ávila in search of the places where Saint Teresa once lived. The outcome of this trip was The Song of Avila, a short film that provides a brief account of his visit to the city and the connection Mekas felt with the saint. This paper aims to analyze the film, linking it to other references to the Spanish mystics in Mekas’ own work and drawing connections with the output of other experimental New York filmmakers, in…

Mission Impossible
During the Cold War Picasso’s Guernica was on loan at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Throughout this period, its interpretation was the subject of much debate. The museum was interested in situating the painting within its own narrative of twentieth-century art history, while, at the same time, the painting functioned as an icon in contemporary political struggles in the form of reproductions and pictorial versions. This article reviews so…

The Most Beautiful Painting in the World
The work of the artist Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) has been widely studied from different disciplines, including his analytical and syncretic vision. This article tries to analyze one of its aesthetic keys: in particular, the conceptualization of its idea process, using the synthesis that appears in the graphic story "The most beautiful painting in the world" published by Ralph Herrmanns in 1970, in which Tàpies is represented as a character-artist…
Mundo Hispanico versus Life
Around 1950 there was an intense debate about U.S. aid to Francoist Spain. American magazines such as Look and Life devoted attention to the Spanish issue, and used photo essays to visually argue their positions. This article seeks to examine how this controversy was created through these photo essays that appeared in American magazines, the reaction of the Spanish public, and the response to American critics by magazines such as Mundo Hispánico …
