Light in Art | Artists' Writings
Editions Centre Pompidou
Description
From Loïe Fuller to Rosa Barba, by way of László Moholy-Nagy, Anthony McCall, Nancy Holt, and Olafur Eliasson, this anthology brings together the writings of thirty-two 20th- and 21st-century artists for whom light has played a major role. At once a physical phenomenon and a subjective experience, light gradually became a medium of expression in its own right, appearing in turn as color, matter itself, projection, or the source of an atmosphere or a sensation. It thus constitutes one of the subtlest, yet no less essential, threads of artistic modernity. In bringing periods, practices, and media into dialogue, this volume offers an unprecedented journey through the collections of the Centre Pompidou, tracing a singular history of the uses and metamorphoses of light in art.
