Bonus: The Philosophy of Art , Form and Content

Vicente Huidobro: Non Serviam

This week we venture into the Latin American avant garde with Vicente Huidobro’s Non Serviam. The first of several manifestos establishing the artist’s Creacionismo (Creationism), a novel approach to poetry that radically leaves behind all pretences to naturalism. Ostensibly written in 1916, Non Serviam, becomes popular in the Paris of the early 1920s when Huidobro meets Picasso, Ersnt, Gris, Reverdy, and Apollinaire among others. This is the first in a series of episodes on lesser known manifestos in the english speaking world. Our intro music is by Aron Gyenge, whom we greatly thank.

Bonus: The Philosophy of Art , Form and Content

This week, while we recover from technical difficulties, we bring you the first of a sporadic bonus-series on the philosophy of art and aesthetics. In this episode we look at the distinction between the content of a work of art and its form, as always mustering manifestos and artists along the way.

Matisse The Fauve Paintings

This week, as we wrap up our Fauve digression, we take a look at a selection of Matisse’s Fauve paintings. In them we find the growth of Matisse’s personal style and draw from our previous episodes to understand his style and aesthetic concerns. Links below.
