Description

"Living Figures - this is the title we have given to a collection of essays by Carl Einstein, unpublished in French, which have in common that they deal with aesthetic questions, approached in relation to the plastic arts, the living arts (theater, dance) or literature. Thus gathered for the first time, these texts, partly posthumous, whose writing extends from the 1940s to the 1930s, strongly renew the image of Carl Einstein. He is not only one of the first art critics who, as early as the 1910s, delivered a forceful analysis of the sculpted arts in Africa and of Cubist painting. He is also an extremely inventive theorist who, in the essays he intended to gather in an Experimental Aesthetics, delivered the exciting insights of a thought of the "life" of the works and the modalities of an animation of the artistic space."
