ART IS A HUMANISM
We currently live in an unprecedented financial crisis and the Artworld is not untouched.
In such a context, temptation for withdrawal often comes first. Wrongly…
In these times of doubt in which all is questioned, the artists -as always- contribute to enrich and renew our look on the world.
More than ever galleries, art dealers, museums and foundations must be on their side to promote their work and be an intermediate between the public and the art professionals.
Explaining, communicating, teaching, gathering and sharing with the artists and their works is more than ever necessary and stimulating.
Catalogues, monographs, websites, blogs are and will be the marks of this lasting engagement so that everyone is confronted to his own vision of the world.

A catalogue Magnelli for Galerie Di Meo
Alberto Magnelli (1888-1971) is considered as one of the leading masters of abstract art of the 20th century. After an initial approach to abstraction in the 1910s, he returned to austere figuration in the 20s, under the influence of Giorgio de Chirico.
The 32 drawings presented are part of preparatory notebooks for the Stones series which, in the early 30s, marked the definitive conversion of Magnelli to abstraction.
This is the first time the drawings are shown. Produced in 1931 at Viareggio, they reveal the anthropomorphic character of the artist’s vision of marble blocks from the quarries at Carrara, the inspiration for the famous series.
“Everyone said that the stones were the starting point for Magnelli’s last abstract period. The drawings also served as models for the large number of paintings produced between 1931 and 1934,”, wrote Nello di Meo.
The book’s foreword, written by Antonio Tabucchi, another famous Tuscan, puts forward a rich account of stone and its metaphors:
“The writer looked at the stones and said to himself, What is a stone? After thinking about it at length he decided that a stone is a stone is a stone. All right. But perhaps a stone signifies something? No, a stone is itself, like a tree of itself means nothing. And then, where were they, these stones? In the air, like stars dancing in the cosmos? In the painter’s heart? In his life?”
Alberto Magnelli, born in Florence in 1888, settled permanently in France in 1931. His works are exhibited in museums around the world, from the Georges Pompidou Center to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York.
The exhibition of drawings by Alberto Magnelli will be presented from October 15 until November 28 2009 at Galerie Di Meo.

A catalogue Soulages for Galerie Applicat-Prazan
The exhibition “Dialogues I Around Pierre Soulages” will be presented in preview at the Galerie Applicat-Prazan stand at the FIAC, Grand Palais, October 22-25. It will continue at the gallery itself from October 30 to December 12, 2009.
A catalog was created and published by the Communic’Art agency at the request of the Galerie Prazan-Applicat. The catalog, in non-standard size (30×40cm, without binder), is arranged in two parts.
In the first part, “Dialogues,” five paintings by Pierre Soulages are presented dating from 1953, 1957, 1958 and 2007.
These large-format works show in particular the architectural research that guided the artist in the 50s.
The second part, “Around Pierre Soulages,” is “a special tribute to the unique work of Pierre Soulages in establishing an exacting dialogue between those exceptional paintings and those – among the most significant – of several great abstract artists,” writes Franck Prazan.
Communic’Art has also produced an Invitation as well as press ads for Art+Auction, Connaissance des Arts and Fine Arts Magazine, on the occasion of the exhibition.
The exhibition is of a very high level, with all works of exceptional quality. It was conceived in parallel with the Pierre Soulages exhibition at the Pompidou Center, October 14, 2009 to March 8, 2010.
For Franck Prazan, it’s a highlight in a career specializing in the presentation of the Moderns: “I have long dreamed of organizing an exhibition such as this one, around Pierre Soulages. Everyone knows the admiration I have for the man and his work. In terms of inherent quality – that of Soulages obviously, but also Riopelle, Atlan, Schneider, Mathieu, Hartung, Poliakoff and Vieira – the works speak for themselves, and there is nothing to add … I won’t say any more except that it is precisely for the privilege offered to me here to present paintings such as these that I practice the profession which is mine.”
The exhibition “Dialogues I Around Pierre Soulages” will be presented in preview at the Galerie Applicat-Prazan stand at the FIAC, Grand Palais, October 22-25. It will continue at the gallery itself from October 30 to December 12, 2009.

Of which artist will you become sponsor
At the time of FIAC in october 2009, the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art, chaired by Patrick Bongers and gathering over 180 galleries in France, took the initiative to communicate strongly on the sponsorship law updated in France in 2003. If the law is aimed at both businesses and individuals, the Committee chose initially to target businesses and explained the tax measures reserved for businesses.
Communic’Art created a communication’s campaign around the forceful slogan “De quel artiste vivant allez-vous devenir le mécène?”( “Of Which Artist will you become the Sponsor ? “. The slogan is declined on a four-pages brochure and two advertising inserts in the fairs catalogues. The booklet presents four devices of the law:
- The measures favouring the commitment of all businesses in supporting contemporary art creation.
- The scarcity of constraints to become the sponsor of a living artist.
- Three examples of calculation to evaluate the benefits of the law.
- Why it is still wise to buy in an art gallery.
Printed in 10 000 copies, this brochure will be distributed during FIAC and Slick by members of Le Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art. The double page in the catalogue of the FIAC, space offered by the organizers, summarizes the description made in the brochure. It is the same for the single page in the catalogue of Slick, space offered by the organizers.
The entire text of the law can be found on the Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art website : www.cpga.info.
