Die Malerei Als Revolte Hommage an Das Licht

Résumé du livre

"For over 30 years, the artist Oliver Jordan (b. 1958 in Essen) has been exploring Albert Camus and his texts, especially Nuptials et Tipasa and Return to Tipasa, through painting. There are few places that could be said to represent Camus' leitmotif of "the great light" as powerfully as the Algerian city of Tipasa. Following in the footsteps of Camus, the artist – euphoric and blinded by the blazing sunshine amidst the Roman ruins – became one with nature, viscerally experiencing the power and intensity of light and the shelter of the shade. Tipasa is where Jordan the painter decided to become an ally of the natural world. Out of his love for nature, the artist rebelliously confronts us with a new world of objects, one that had long been considered abolished and outgrown in visual art."--Provided by the publisher.
