Product Details
Overview
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944) et Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) séjournent trois mois et demi à Tunis durant l’hiver 1904-1905. Leur voyage se révèle exceptionnellement fructueux : 542 dessins, peintures et photographies attestent une découverte des lieux et de la culture arabe. Négligeant les antiquités et la ville moderne, ils sont fascinés par les ruelles des médinas, les scènes populaires, l’écriture et les arts décoratifs arabes. Cette expérience nourrit les recherches qui mèneront Kandinsky vers l’abstraction. Dominique Jarrassé a longtemps étudié le patrimoine tunisien. Il choisit de présenter leurs réalisations sous forme de carnets de voyage, menant de Tunis à Carthage, Sousse ou Kairouan. Pour restituer leurs « impressions tunisiennes », il identifie les lieux et les sujets et entrelace sciemment les créations des deux artistes travaillant devant le même motif. L’ouvrage offre, pour la première fois, la quasi-totalité de leurs œuvres de Tunisie, révélant ainsi les dessins inédits de Gabriele Münter.

In 1905, Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter spent three months in Tunisia. Side by side during this little-documented trip, they created around 540 works, which are presented in this publication as a visual travel journal. Both were experiencing Arab culture for the first time in Tunisia, where they were fascinated by the alleyways of the medinas, folkish scenes, and Muslim places of worship, the mosques and cemeteries, as well as Arabic scripts and applied arts. This is the first publication devoted entirely to the little-known group of works from their Tunisian stay. Around half of the material has not been published before, presented here for the first time in a comprehensive catalogue and analysed against the context of its creation.
