Excerpt from NapoleonScarcely anyone has realized that neither his detractors nor his supporters. It is in the name of morality that every one attacks him or defends him: a task which is easier in the former case than in the latter. But morality is narrower than life - and less complex. Unlike life, it does not carry in its tragic texture those sublime contra dictions which by continuous opposition to each other create the substance of a hero and prevent him from being either more or less than a man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

L'Art Moderne et L'Esprit des Formes

Le loup de Kiki Smith tient un gant rouge entre les dents ; Pierre Alechinsky repense les images du penseur qu'Asger Jorn avait collectées ; Paul Roussopoulos, mathématicien et physicien, dessine ses peintures à l'aide d'un clou ; des gens anonymes se reconnaissent dans des portraits imaginaires et troublants peints par Kamagurka... La peinture se mêle au dessin qui se mêle et se heurte à la sculpture ou à l'installation, dans un jeu de hasard et de rigueur, de gravité et d'humour. Paul Nizon, Delfeil de Ton, Rainer Michael Mason, Roger Knobelspiess, Caroline Lamarche, Hector Obalk, chacun dans son art, participent à ce joyeux éclectisme où se devine un ordre secret. Plus que le talent et la virtuosité, ce Cahier propose un vaste état des lieux de la surprise.
