Tonsure … What looks for Sébastien Duranté in the review of this photography of Duchamp by Man Ray? It seems to me that two major questions of his concerns are in this self-portrait, the swindle on one hand and the remake of the other one.
A possibility for a very young artist to win in seriousness is doubtless, in mind of Sébastien, to move this pilosity of the nape of the neck with the face he under listens by this gesture not to be old enough to reach this fame, neither artistic nor virile thus he malverse, he does a pastiche and takes advantage of it to inserer in the history of his idols of the art.
Anyway, the swindle is the center of the debate, this counterfeiter’s position is the way which he chose to use to communicate. It is then possible to him to show its membership in the brotherhood of the hooligans, the one who catches the eye of all, the one who makes the crowds dream.
The remake is thought as a blow , a blow of breakshe di dit with Warhol, van Gogh, Alys or Duchamp, he can redo it, otherwise, slightly, to prove us, even there, if it is ready to bring in in the » clan of the Sicilian » some art. The work of Duchamp was already a tribute: Guillaume Apollinaire dies in 1918, conséquences of a war wound in the head, Duchamp represents him as a falling star … What can thus be the heroes whom Sébastien wishes to summon in this image? Opposites of the work of Duchamp Evidement! Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck? His gesture is an allegiance in the art but he wants to keep a glance torve on the images of the world.
