New Monograph on Jean-Marc Bustamante Published by Actes Sud
Actes Sud has published 'Bustamante: Cristallisations', a comprehensive monograph by Jacinto Lageira on the French artist Jean-Marc Bustamante. The book fills a gap in the literature, as no exhaustive study of Bustamante's career existed before, despite his upcoming retrospective at the Villa Medici this spring. Bustamante, known for his large-format color photography, has also worked in sculpture and painting for over three decades. Lageira's analysis spans eleven chapters, avoiding psychobiographical criticism and instead focusing on the artist's series and interdisciplinary connections. The book examines themes of finitude and includes lesser-known works, such as a 1977 video performance.
