 In 1910, Vassily Kandinsky was ordered to explain the goal of Abstract art of which he was one of the precursors and which was criticized. His answer was a manifesto: « Spiritual in Art» where the artist establishes that every man is inhabited by an inner necessity: to show human soul with forms and colors. A century later, Eliane Burnet, in an allusion to Kandinsky, has the courage to bring an ontological and spiritual justification to contemporary art.
Would our culture be mono semantic (one word = one meaning), earth of dualist vision, which remains obtuse to all form of sublimation of real and which result would be the culture of mainstream: generalized mind-numbing to everyone?
 
What meaning does our demythologized society give to these avant-gardes in general and especially to its counterculture?
Are we in presence of a spiritual impulse, vertical, or to a horizontal leveling reduced to a simple artistic provocation, of "communication plan" responding to this mainstream culture?
 
Do we find in contemporary art this deep spiritual desire that Kandinsky used to call the inner necessity and that he thought to be the essential principle of art?
Think about it in this 51-minutes video filmed at the Collège des Bernardins within the framework of an homage to Painter T'ANG HAYWEN organized by Mrs Hélène de Laguérie.
