Lessons in modernism and alliance: Baghdad, Damascus, Paris, 1941-1944 - By Anneka Lenssen
École des modernités - Lecture Lessons in modernism and alliance: Baghdad, Damascus, Paris, 1941-1944 Lecture by Anneka Lenssen / Conférence par Anneka Lenssen 🇬🇧 This lecture explores the connections between artists from Iraq and the West, and revisits the attempts at dialogue by artists in Damascus, particularly through sketches found in the notebooks of several artists, all based in Baghdad at the time. These include Jamil Hamoudi, Jawad Selim, Jozef Czapski, and James Boswell. The first three studied in Paris, while Boswell, a British soldier, kept sketchbooks in Baghdad, offering a distinct perspective on British modernist art, in contrast to the French approach. Each of these artists maintained a unique relationship with Paris, regarded as the capital of artistic freedom. 🇫🇷 Cette conférence interroge les liens entre les artistes d'Irak et d'Occident, et revient sur les tentatives de dialogue des artistes de Damas, notamment à partir des croquis trouvés dans les carnets de quelques artistes, tous basés à Bagdad à cette époque. Il s'agit de Jamil Hamoudi, Jawad Selim, Jozef Czapski et James Boswell. Les trois premiers ont étudié à Paris, tandis que Boswell, un soldat britannique, a tenu des carnets de croquis à Bagdad, offrant une perspective distincte sur l'art moderniste britannique, par opposition à la vision française. Chacun de ces artistes a entretenu une relation unique avec Paris, considérée comme la capitale de la liberté artistique.
