Élisabeth Couturier, Contemporary Art : what it owes to the masterpieces of the past
Éditions Flammarion
« Contrary to popular belief, the contemporary artist is readily inspired by masterpieces of the past. With this book, Elisabeth Couturier makes a fascinating crossing of the history of art, spotting in a current work a reprise, a wink, a quotation made vis-à-vis an old master. The artist today continues to weave the red thread that links the creators of one generation to another, and this gives rise to new and surprising visual confrontations. »
Meeting with the author, Élisabeth Couturier, and Marc Partouche, former director of the École des Arts Décoratif de Paris, and current Secretary of the AICA.
