Vladimir Velickovic (1935-2019), a Serbian having taken French nationality, was recognised, at the 1972 Venice Biennale as one of the most important European artists. He offered an alternative to the Pop Art and Hyperrealism that were all the trend at the time.
Exhibition Catalogue Velickovic. The grand style and the tragic, presented at the Fonds Hélène & Edouard Leclerc, Landerneau (15 dec. 2019 - 26 april 2020).
An unprecedented retrospective embracing the totality of the artist's oeuvre. Velickovic had been working on it for two years when he died unexpectedly. He collaborated closely with Jean-Luc Chalumeau, the exhibition curator, on that presentation bearing the title : The grand style and the tragic.
His work unveils painting of death, the moment preceding death and its unbearable suffering, and it represents a moving testimony on the human condition thanks to his mastery of what is called the « grand style »..
An uncompromising painter, he only achieved that mastery by choosing to ignore « beauty that is small and fleeting » according to Nietzsche's expression.
The original contributions of the authors gathered in this book - Amélie Adamo, Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Onfray, Gérard Titus-Carmel - as well as the texts presented in an anthology, and the countless and surprising archival images collected here, contribute to revitalise looking at this exceptional artist.
