Description

The first monograph dedicated to the visual art of Belgian cult poet and writer Sophie Podolski (1953-1974) features original essays, previously unpublished drawings and texts, and selected translations of her handwritten, illustrated manuscript The Country Where Everything Is Permitted (1972). The contributing writers each explore specific iconographies that are crystallized in Podolski's remarkable graphic oeuvre, considering her highly personal vocabulary and uninhibited style against the backdrop of the late 1960s' and early 1970s' counterculture. Founded on new research that underpinned her solo exhibitions at WIELS (Brussels) and Villa Vassilieff (Paris), this book brings Podolski's lost art into the limelight.

De eerste monografie gewijd aan de beeldende kunst van de Belgische cultdichteres en -schrijfster Sophie Podolski (1953-1974) bevat originele essays, onuitgegeven tekeningen en teksten en een keuze van vertalingen van haar handgeschreven, geïllustreerde manuscript The Country Where Everything Is Permitted (1972). De auteurs verkennen elk de specifieke iconografieën die zich kristalliseren in het opmerkelijke grafische oeuvre van Podolski en plaatsen haar hoogst persoonlijke taal en ongeremde stijl tegen de achtergrond van de tegencultuur van de late jaren 1960 en de vroege jaren 1970. Dit boek is de neerslag van nieuw onderzoek verricht met het oog op solotentoonstellingen in WIELS (Brussel) en Villa Vassilieff (Parijs) en richt de schijnwerper opnieuw op de vergeten kunst van Podolski.


La première monographie consacrée à l'art visuel de la Belge Sophie Podolski (1953-1974), poétesse et écrivaine culte, réunit des essais originaux, des dessins et des textes encore inédits de l'artiste, et des extraits choisis de son manuscrit illustré Le pays où tout est permis (1972). Chacun des contributeurs explore certaines des iconographies spécifiques cristallisées dans la remarquable oeuvre graphique de Sophie Podolski, analysant son vocabulaire résolument personnel et son style désinhibé dans le contexte de la fin des années 1960 et du début des années 1970. Basé sur des recherches nouvelles, qui ont sous-tendu ses expositions solo au WIELS (Bruxelles) et à la Villa Vassilieff (Paris), cet ouvrage replace l'art perdu de Sophie Podolski sous les feux de l'actualité.
