Christian Zervos Au Miroir de la Grece [French]

Dans la revue comme dans les ditions Cahiers d'art, Christian Zervos a pris le parti de faire dialoguer des oeuvres de domaines diff rents et de diverses poques historiques. Il envisageait l'art moderne en partant toujours de ses rapports des formes universelles, provenant des arts dits premiers ou archa ques et des instincts primordiaux de l'humanit . Il jetait ainsi un nouveau regard sur les objets anciens dans le cadre d'une double d marche qui les r actualisait, tout en r inscrivant l'art moderne dans une perspective historique. La contribution de Zervos fut particuli rement importante pour la r habilitation de l'art de la Gr ce antique - notamment de l'art pr classique - ainsi que pour la red finition des civilisations anciennes et des formes d'art archa ques dans le cadre du modernisme. Dans ce volume, il est question de sa vision globale de la culture m diterran enne, qui se forma au miroir de la Gr ce , travers un double lien: au d part l'ancrage de sa d marche moderniste dans les principes des arts premiers du bassin m diterran en, puis le retour au pays, dans les ann es 1950, pour renouer avec les origines de la culture m ridionale poursuivant ainsi son projet de retracer les sources primitives du Sud europ en (en Sardaigne, dans les Cyclades, en Cr te). Ces textes retracent le d veloppement de son go t pour ces p riodes sans t moignages crits et la poursuite de son projet de constituer un r cit photographique des cultures du Sud pr historique .

In both the literary journal and the monographic publications of Cahiers d'art, Christian Zervos has chosen to bring together works from different fields and historical periods. His approach to modern art was always based on its relationship to universal forms, derived from the so-called "primitive" or "archaic" arts and the "primordial" instincts of humanity. He thus took a fresh look at ancient objects through a double process - updating them while placing modern art in a historical perspective. Zervos' contribution was particularly important for the rehabilitation of ancient Greek art - especially pre-classical art - and for the redefinition of ancient civilizations and archaic art forms within the scope of modernism. This volume discusses his global vision of Mediterranean culture, which was formed "in the mirror of Greece", through a double link, starting with the anchoring of his "modernist" approach in the principles of the primitive arts of the Mediterranean basin, and then returning to his homeland in the 1950s to reconnect with the "origins" of southern culture, thus pursuing his project of retracing the primitive sources of the European South (in Sardinia, the Cyclades, Crete). These texts trace the development of his interest in these periods that bear no written evidence, and the pursuit of his project to create a photographic account of the cultures of the "prehistoric South".
