Viure l'art, transformar la vida

2010. Edició a cura de Narcís Selles, 250 pp.

This book offers a huge amount of essays by Alexandre Cirici about the art and culture of his times. Texts of a speculative nature on social, historical and philosophical aspects can be found and more sectorally, on theoretical and methodical issues related to artistic studies, to conceptually ambitious essays that interpret cultural practices and aesthetic manifestations, or that seek to illuminate certain areas of the artistic field. The reader discovers a particularly suitable way to enter into the thought and creativity of one of the most outstanding authors that the essay and artistic criticism has given to our country. And you can also enjoy an intense and highly suggestive look at some of the great names -Picasso, Miró or Tàpies- and trends- abstract art, informalism, visual search, new realisms, pop art, conceptualisms, ‘neorevisionism’ - that have marked the second half of the twentieth century.
