Author: de Jong, Jacqueline
Published alongside the artist’s retrospective at the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, 'Disobedience' encapsulates the oeuvre of Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong, a member of the Situationist International who experimented with art brut, Pop art, New Figuration, postmodernism and other movements over her 60-year career. This publication spans de Jong’s entire artistic journey, from her editorial activities of the 1960s to her Billiards series in the 1970s, and her final works in the early 2020s. Her art was dedicated to revealing the hidden undercurrents – eroticism, violence, fear, agony and lust – and, with a sense of play and pleasure, reinterpreting them so that a radical, more honest version of humanity might emerge. Organised through six sections entitle “Disobedience,” “Publishing,” “Chaos,” “Pop,” “Play” and “Politics,” it underlines the challenging approach to art and life developed by de Jong formally, visually and conceptually from the early 1960s until 2024.
ISBN 9783037646373. JRP|Editions. hb. 280 pages. 245 colour, 20 b/w ills. 31.8 x 22.9 cm.
