Le Théâtre Des Émotions
Auteur(s) : Dominique Lobstein, Georges Vigarello (dir.)
Exhibition at the Musée Marmottan Monet, 13 April - 21 August 2022
Emotion, with its "often intense reactions", is systematically present in the visual arts, worked on, tracked down, declined. It even embodies most of their meaning, suggesting flesh, stimulating curiosity.
This exhibition catalogue brings together nearly eighty works from the Middle Ages to the present day, from private collections and prestigious French and international museums, which trace the history of emotions and their pictorial translations from the 14th to the 21st century. The book follows the 8 sections of the exhibition, illustrating the slow transcription of emotions by artists, then its evolution over time, in the light of aesthetic and scientific reflections and successive events.
