[syndicate] Cartier-Bresson

[Aliette Guibert]

oh, dear: common in matter of photography is great

(les clichés et les stéréo-types)

You always speak in the name of the criteria checking of the quality and of
the beautiful, but from which references? or exclusive yours own as all
others... or telling of a model? inwhich you would be completely
retro-critical and reactionary?

If there is not anymore a materialist system in matter of the equivalence of
the value, it costs even in art (and testify of the disappearance of the
aesthetics except critical track of past).

Since the deconstructive punks of the years 69 and 70, we know all this, we
know how much the common melancholy of the world is attached to stereotypes
(the same as popular musics), and in what through the social perceptions it
joins the complex metaphors of the poets by a sensitive cultural process.

I did not talk of artists in photography or just in matter of gran report
and documentary. Solidarity specially in this community ; not htis one of
photo linked to contemporary art where all the contrary any one stays in a
concurrence for the most time (getting a case in a museum of contemporary
art as Sophie Cale is so hard to win ;-))) - but yes what she made sometimes
sounds well for me.

My favourite in photo as art of studio is Rob Mapplethorpe (lié à la
première époque des punks); for another part Duane Michals.

Et toujours, Dolorès Marat.
