Zusammenfassung:Cette monographie explore la pratique artistique variée de Paul Neagu, inscrite dans le cadre d'une vision originale, holistique et métaphysique de l'art. Son objectif était de développer un idiome visuel qui serait compris par toutes les cultures, mais dont les exigences et les recherches sont complexes. Ce volume réévalue l'importance de l'artiste sur la scène artistique cosmopolite de Londres depuis le début des années 1970, examine la manière dont son travail a été influencé par les avant-gardes occidentales et orientales, aussi bien que la manière dont son uvre, qui transcende les "disciplines" artistiques, navigue entre les contextes culturels et jongle avec un grand nombre de références intellectuelles et artistiques ; elle est récemment devenue une importante source d'inspiration pour les jeunes artistes, les commissaires et les intellectuels
This is the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the Romanian-born artist Paul Neagu (1938–2004), who lived in London from 1971 to his death. It explores his manifold artistic practice which includes performance, sculpture, exhibition display, drawing, painting, video, photography, and poetry, within an original, holistic, metaphysical view on art. His aim was to develop a visual idiom that would be understood across cultures, but the demands and investigations of which are complex. This volume reevaluates his importance in London’s cosmopolitan artistic scene since the early 1970s and examines how his work was informed both by Western and Eastern avant-gardes. Only recently has his oeuvre, transcending artistic "disciplines," navigating between cultural contexts, juggling along the way an impressive number of intellectual and artistic references, become an important source of inspiration for young artists, curators, and intellectuals. Neagu’s philosophical approach to his work led him to push the boundaries of abstraction that he first discovered clandestinely in Communist Romania. Having used his own body as a medium in his performance of "ritual" events, he often referred to embodied experience. He promoted physical engagement with his work: his palpable objects and tactile boxes deliberately invited touch (Palpable Art Manifesto, 1969). Tactility indeed underlines one of Neagu’s enduring aims: to refute what he perceived as the primacy of visuality within art. His ritualized performances thus often left a trail of sculptural objects and created immersive, sensory experiences. Always informed by his experience of conflict, and a desire to express the paramount importance of the spirit in the modern world, his works command an intensely visceral response. In 1972 he established the Generative Art Group, encompassing five fictitious members...
