Thus does analysis range from discussion of the feisty, Fluxus-inspired, free-spirited funkiness of Ben Vautier?s work to the various modes of transcendence of trauma and haunting fear generated by the exceptional gestures of Niki de Saint Phalle and Louise Bourgeois, to the alyrical formalism yet imbued with irony and ludicity of François Morellet, through to the serene intensities of Alexandre Hollan?s vies silencieuses , the infinite a-signatures of Claude Viallat?s adventure in the sheer joy of a poiein of self-reflexive coloration, the powerfully elegant and muscular disarticulations of Bernard Pagès? sculpture, the great sweep through art?s history implied by Jean-Pierre Pincemin?s chameleon-like gestures, the vast swirling programme of socio-psychological analysis the arts of Annette Messager and Sophie Calle offer in their radically distinctive manners, the obsessively serialised oeuvre of Gérard Titus-Carmel allowing a burrowing deep into the opaque logic of a real though dubious ?presence to the world?. 410 0$aFaux titre ;$vno. 317. 606 $aArt, French$y20th century 606 $aArt, French$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aArt, French 615 0$aArt, French 676 $a709 700 $aBishop$b Michael$f1938-$0899338 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453470503321 996 $aContemporary French art$92169105 997 $aUNINA
