From immobility

Abstract

The conceptual couple movement/immobility, explored from the outset by Greek philosophy, is also reflected in the history of the figurative arts. While the quest for the movement is a permanent objective of sculptors and painters as it expresses life and nature, some areas of representation seem to escape from it, in particular religious imagery and abstraction. At the time of second classicism, common ideas and style phenomena came together to profoundly change the vision of heroes and mythology legends: a new ideal of rest, which is not immobility, replaces a more volatile vision of the world. But the imagers of Greek Antiquity are just seeing a form of external immobility which, in a Gustave Moreau, will lead to the ‘beautiful inertia’. Siebert Gérard. Immobility. In: Ktèma: civilisations of the East, Greece and Rome ancient, No. 32, 2007. pp. 181-188.
