Par cette sculpture, Hanson dénonce la société de consommation : Les produits agro-alimentaires sont fabriqués en masse aux Etats-Unis et bouleversent les habitudes des consommateurs avec l'apparition des centre commerciaux.
C'est ici que D. Hanson nous transporte avec cette sculpture, ou le panier de la ménagère a été remplacé par un caddie qui déborde de nourriture. Cette personne peut être n'importe quelle américaine de classe moyenne et il n'est pas difficile pour le spectateur de s'identifier. Il ne lui est pas non plus difficile de grimacer devant cette silhouette tassée, la cigarette aux lèvres ainsi que devant ce regard vide malgré le caddie plein! Cette célèbre sculpture d'Hanson se présente aux spectateurs comme une vérité crue, dérangeante. ArtDB - Le pied-bot. Jacques-Laurent Agasse (1767-1849) - The Nubian Giraffe. Description Description This famous giraffe calf was sent by Mehemet Ali, Pasha of Egypt, to George IV; it arrived in England in August 1827 and was installed at George IV’s menagerie in Windsor but died two years later.
In 1827 Agasse painted the entire entourage surrounding this exotic animal: two Egyptian cows who acted as wet-nurses; two Arab keepers and the menagerie owner, Edward Cross (1773-1854), who supervised the giraffe’s brief time in Windsor. This is the portrait of a noble animal’s captivity, with solicitous keepers trying to persuade him to drink or perhaps examining his urine. The fact that his immense neck is bent is not an accident but a symbol of his condition. Provenance Commissioned by George IV in 1827 Physical properties.

Arte povera. 1 of 3 Arte povera means literally ‘poor art’ but the word poor here refers to the movement’s signature exploration of a wide range of materials beyond the quasi-precious traditional ones of oil paint on canvas, bronze, or carved marble.
Materials used by the artists included soil, rags and twigs. In using such throwaway materials they aimed to challenge and disrupt the values of the commercialised contemporary gallery system. The term was introduced by the Italian art critic and curator, Germano Celant, in 1967. He used it to denote an art made without restraints, a laboratory situation in which any theoretical basis was rejected in favour of a complete openness towards materials and processes.

La grande époque du portrait anglais Au XVIIIe siècle, l’école anglaise se fait une gloire du portrait dont la tradition s’était établie à la fin du XVIIe siècle.
Les plus grands interprètes du portrait anglais, un genre directement lié aux séjours londoniens de Holbein et de Van Dyck, sont Joshua Reynolds (1723-1792) et Thomas Gainsborough. La révolution industrielle anglaise de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle modifie les équilibres sociaux et ouvre un nouveau rapport entre les classes bourgeoises et l’art.

A young man looks directly out of the painting, capturing us with his gaze. We have interrupted him reading a letter. He seems detached; his reactions, elusive. The luxury of the young man's watered silk and damask jacket indicates wealth and status. The letter in his hands, as in other portraits by Rosso Fiorentino, hints at a literary, political, or legal profession for the sitter.
