Monsieur Maud

Esthète, dandy...si ces épithètes n’étaient pas aujourd’hui galvaudés, ils définiraient parfaitement la vie et l’œuvre de Marc Raynal, qui sous plusieurs noms de plume, (Maud Molyneux, Louella Interim, Dora Forbes), a animé pendant près de dix ans les pages mode et cinéma de Libération aux côtés de Serge Daney, Michel Cressole et Gérard Lefort. La plume de Maud Molyneux est unique : fantastique écrivain de la mode, sans doute le meilleur après Proust, c’est également un cinéphile ardent, qui célèbre avec amour, loin des dérives théoriques de la critique, le grand cinéma hollywoodien dans un style au classicisme épuré.

Grand critique, Maud Molyneux fut également une personnalité aussi attachante que fascinante : à la fois érudit hors-normes (« quand on ne savait pas, on téléphonait à Maud », témoignent aujourd’hui ses amis), pilier du Paris nocturne des années 70, passionné de mode et d’histoire du costume. Lire Maud Molyneux/Louella Interim aujourd’hui est une véritable redécouverte, celle de l’une des dernières grandes plumes de la presse culturelle.

“Un jour très garçon, barbu, portant jean serré, catogan et chemise imprimée, sosie troublant de John Lennon. Le lendemain en minijupe noire, cuissardes et chignon. Et toujours la Gauloise sans filtre au coin des lèvres. Il parlait de lui au masculin et se faisait appeler au féminin, quelques fois l'inverse. Louella, La Maud, Marc, Dora, comme on voudra. Un être féroce et raffiné qui, à l'instar d'un Brummel, avait fait de sa vie une oeuvre d'art. » (Gérard Lefort, Libération, 18 septembre 2009).

Ce livre propose une anthologie de ses articles sur le cinéma (de Bette Davis à Pasolini, de Blade Runner à Douglas Sirk, Louella Interim aborde tous les genres avec un regard unique) et la mode (Yves Saint-Laurent, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Madame Grès, Chantal Thomas… il les a tous connus et a analysé leur style).

Dans une première partie, le livre évoque le parcours et la personnalité de ce dandy d’un autre siècle en donnant la parole à ceux qui l’ont connu ou qui ont travaillé avec lui. Serge Toubiana, Gérard Lefort, Adeline André, Pascal Thomas dressent un portrait drôle et touchant de leur ami.

Valery Koshlyakov

Valery Koshlyakov : Painting as the Archive of Culture

Valery Koshlyakov thinks not in categories of time, but in categories of cultural spaces, where emptiness is more important than presence since it preserves within itself the spirit of the time, zeitgeist, which the artist then relays to the viewer. On giant pieces of corrugated cardboard, Koshlyakov creates monumental images of past grandeur, which amaze with their compositional rigor and the nobility of the fated fading. Like all monumentalists, he is totalitarian. The subjects of his paintings are Pompeian frescoes, Constructivist Moscow, Greek, Roman, and Stalinist architecture, Gothic cathedrals, monuments from both the Renaissance and contemporaneity. His painting on corrugated cardboard pretends to be a masterpiece from epochs past found accidentally in the dumpster. Trash, under his brush, turns into an object of reflection and becomes priceless.

Jane Evelyn Atwood

Since the price W. Eugene Smith in 1980 Jane Evelyn Atwood imposed her bravery, her compassion, her obsessive quest for her subjects in which the artist is involved body and soul. This first major retrospective is not a cakewalk, conscience requires. It is not necessarily pessimistic or hopeless. English humor and less, it evokes the Power and the Glory by Graham Greene.
