| Classification : A470-B180-B200-C140-C160-C180-D115-D120 The classification provides four or more codes placed on four axis (A - formalism, B - matériality, C - involvement body/mind, D - communication). These codes are positionning the artist in the art history.
A axis : FORMALISMWhen looking at the work, what type of formalisation first strikes the eye? Is it more abstract or more figurative, etc ? (on a scale from more "immaterial" to more "realist"). A470 : Forms of "Realism" Differents ways of observing the realities of the world, from a point of view of: the solely Formal between the "Neue sachlichkeit", "American scene" or "Nouvelle figuration", Reality as perceived by an artist whose subjectivity remains in abeyance (Christian Schad, Gérard Schlosser, Vincent Corpet, Gilles Aillaud, ...).
B axis : MATERIALITYHow does the materiality of what is shown come across? (on a scale from more "immaterial" to more "real"). B180 : Materiality in painting, but also with all other materials with the following possibilities: mixed materiality: structured / unstructured when a work is "structured" in its "lack of structure", and vice versa (repetition of forms, signs, matter ... Viallat, Toroni, Degottex, Hantaï,...). B200 : Materiality in painting, but also with all other materials with the following possibilities: Structured with colours predominant with their intrinsic or symbolic strength, (Monory's "blues", G.Fromanger's "reds") historical or social meaning etc., and their structuring, the colours here are the most important (Jules Olitsky, Peter Halley, ...).
C axis : INVOLVEMENT BODY/ MINDWith what body:mind ratio does the artist enter into his work? Classify from the most "intellectual" (e.g."Concept Art"...) to the most "physical" (e.g. "Body Art", ...). C140 : towards the intellectual side/ the essence of things inward looking work chiefly oriented towards: fantasmagoric fantasies of all types, be they sexual, social, religious or any other type, so long as there is formal mastery (from Georgia O'Keeffe to Annette Messager, through Clovis Trouille, ...). C160 : tending towards the corporeal / the senses via expression with "humanity" (the passage from Life to Death) - in a literal manner (John de Andrea, Duane Hanson, Itsvan Sandorfi, ...) - or a symbolic manner (James Ensor, G. Rouault, F. Gruber, Zoran Music, Rebeca Stevenson, Jan Vercruysse, ...), ... C180 : tending towards the corporeal / the senses via expression with a frank sensuality, or even openly sexual either literal (Courbet's "Origin of the world", Lucian Freud, John Kacere, P. Klossowki, David Salle, Gilbert and George, ...), - symbolic (Paul Armand Gette, Andreas Serrano, ...), - humorous (Gilles Barbier "cerveau", Boyd Webb "the globe" , ...), - or "realist" (certain "Body-artists" such as Otto Muehl, Paul Mc Carthy's "installations" , Zoran Naskovski's videos, ...), ...
D axis : COMMUNICATIONDoes the artist have the deliberate intention to convey a message of any sort through his work? (classified from the most "mystical" to the most "worldly"). D115 : via what is meant in various narrations or symbolisms whatever they may be allegorical, metaphorical (J. Beuys' "materials", ...), analytical (Mario Merz's "Fibonacci series", or those of Robert Filliou, ...), critical (from Henri Cueco to Hans Haacke or Guillaume Bijl, ...). D120 : via what is meant with an explicitly partial iconic involvement ("Social Realism" of Ben Shahn, Boris Taslitzky, André Fougeron, Renato Guttuso, Les Malassis, Groupe DDP, Léon Goulub, ...). | |  |
