About
Cet ouvrage est publié à l'occasion de l'exposition du même nom présentée au musée Bourdelle, Paris, du 3 octobre 2018 au 3 février 2019. Elève de Falguière et praticien de Rodin, enseignant renommé à l'Académie de la Grande Chaumière, aux Gobelins et dans ses propres ateliers, impasse du Maine, Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929) fut le maître d'Alberto Giacometti, de Germaine Richier ou encore d'Otto Gutfreund. Ses cours remportèrent un tel succès que son rayonnement dépassa largement les frontières françaises et qu'il eut des élèves de très nombreux pays.0Révélant l'atmosphère si particulière de l'atelier de sculpture, l'ouvrage revient sur le parcours d'artistes internationaux et démontre combien Bourdelle fut un professeur généreux, intéressé par les échanges avec ses élèves. Il soulève des questions clés de l'enseignement artistique, entre respect de la tradition et renouvellement de la forme. Quelle transmission accepter ? Dans quelle filiation s'inscrire ? Comment s'en affranchir et trouver sa voie ? Comment, selon les mots de Bourdelle, "chanter son propre chant"? "I am like Socrates. I give you your soul, " said Antoine Bourdelle to his students. Plunging visitors into the heart of the creative process, bringing out the faces of those who populated the workshops of Montparnasse, this exhibition highlights the complex relationships that are formed between master and student, artist and practitioner, through the figure of the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle. A pupil of Falguière and practitioner of Rodin, teacher adulated at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and in his own workshops in the early twentieth century, he was the master of Giacometti and hundreds of French, Russian, American, Chinese and Japanese students , Portuguese, Brazilian, Italian, Swedish, Swiss, Romanian, Greek or Czech. Among them, many women, whose physiognomy will nourish the work of Bourdelle who said of his students: "If I interested them, they also interested me. I examined them, I observed them. Their trajectories, fidelity to the teacher's teaching or rejection vi olent, will be staged in the exhibition.
