Between twilight and dawn, Kiki Smith
|
|
|
"The title of Kiki Smith’s exhibition evokes this particular lapse of time when day becomes night, that moment when the dog is placed to protect the sheepfold and when the wolf takes advantage of the darkness to come out of the woods!
|
All of Kiki Smith’s work oscillates between light and darkness, sliding from the tranquility of a tamed nature to an indomitable animality when entering the world of the night, that particular moment where pleasure and fear come together."
|
( excerpt from the presentation given by Arthur Ancion)

Wolf, what animal are you?
|
|
|
|
Musée de l'Image, Ville d'Epinal
|
42 quai de Dogneville 88000 Epinal
|
|
From 30 November 2019 to 31 May 2020, discover the cultural adventure of the wolf through popular French prints.
|
At the mere mention of that name, some are already shivering. Today, it is difficult to take an objective look at an animal of which so much has been said and maligned... More than a wolf, it is more likely the representation of a wolf that comes to mind: the wolf in fairy tales and fables is generally portrays as a monstrous beast hungry for human flesh, symbol of our most archaic fears.
|
Establishing the grim image we still have of wolves today, as it is not a mere animal ; the fact is, there has been a cultural background about wolves and a fear almost embedded into our collective minds for centuries.

Félix Vallotton, Intimité(S) - ... and the Jean-Philippe Toussaint's perspective
By Katia Polett (along with the contribution), Jean-Philippe Toussaint (along with the contribution) The Martin de Halleux publishing house.
In 1898, a series of 10 woodcut prints entitled Intimacies/Intimités were collected in a portfolio by the symbolist literary journal La Revue blanche, and it can be seen as the most famous suite Félix Vallotton ever published. 30 copies of this series have only been drawn, what Vallotton would later regret, as he himself destroyed the wooden matrices to guarantee very limited editions. This book depicts the mythic version of ten images, accompanied by the series" Les Instruments de musique" and many other engravings as famous as "La Paresse", "Le Bain" or" La Nuit" and" L'Émotion". A magnificent book where Jean- Philippe Toussaint's gaze accompagnies us in Valloton's intimate work and where Katia Poletti's erudition allow us to understand the deep mysteries of these prints named among the most influential images in the world of modern engraving.
