CHASSEY (Éric de) & RAMOND (Sylvie), eds. Starting Over. A major exhibition catalog published in conjunction with the event organized by the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. The book explores the upheavals in artistic creation in the immediate postwar period, when many artists set out to redefine the language of painting in the wake of the traumas of World War II. Bringing together nearly two hundred works, it juxtaposes the leading figures of European and American abstraction—Dubuffet, Fautrier, Hartung, Soulages, De Staël, Pollock, Rothko, Newman, and the artists of the CoBrA group—and today stands as a remarkable overview of the emergence of contemporary art after 1945. Richly illustrated, this catalog remains a key reference work on postwar art. Publisher: Hazan / Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon. Binding: illustrated paperback. Illustrations: numerous color and black-and-white reproductions. Condition: good copy.
