Abstraction Matters. Contemporary Sculptors in Their Own Words
The essay focuses on Robert Morris’s theoretical writings, particularly on Notes on Sculpture, published in the 1960s. Morris epitomizes the historical and anthropological idea of sculpture, and his connection with the human body and the beholder’s place. The change of scale produces a perceptual alteration and a new experience of sculpture whose identity swings between the monument and the object. The contemporary abstract sculpture requires a complex experience and consciousness from the beholder, inciting a new reflection on space and time.

As an artist, I was intrigued by the idea of using my paintings to show something real and something hidden simultaneously. I started to think about what would happen if I took a piece of canvas and wrapped it around an object and only painted the exposed parts. When unfolded, it would become a portrait of the object fragmented into pieces; the actual folds would appear as white space. “Aha, that must be a unique idea,” I thought! Before delving into a new method of work, I decided to learn more about the history of the fold as a method of painting. I turned to French painters Simon Hantaï and André-Pierre Arnal, who, since the sixties, have used the fold as a process in their paintings. In this essay, I will compare two paintings by these artists: Etude, by Simon Hantaï in 1968 (Figure 1), and Dans la vague by André-Pierre Arnal, painted in the same year (Figure 2). At first, these two paintings seem very similar; they share the color blue and folded patterns. However, after giving a close look at the personal backgrounds, the historical contexts, and the intents of the two artists, it is possible to discern very clear difference`s.
