Image: Presentation of a round bar of wood by André Cadere, Galerie Yvon Lambert, Paris, 23 November–7 December 1975 in André Cadere: Peinture sans fin, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2007, p. 75.
Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Documenting Cadere, 1972–1978, MuZEE, Oostende, 2 March–2 May, 2013, curated by Lynda Morris.
André Cadere belonged to a generation of European artists who contested the art object and institutional framework of the art world in which they operated. Best known for carrying his Barres de Bois Rond—Round Bars of Wood—wherever he went. His appearances at the most important private views of contemporary art across Europe became legendary. With his round bar of wood in hand he would intervene in a provocative way on other artists’ exhibitions in galleries and museums.

George Platt Lynes is recognized today as a master of 20th century photography, influencing artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Herb Ritts. Though Lynes was commercially successful in New York fashion and portrait photography, his art practice is largely characterized today by his remarkable photographs of nude men, from the 1930s until his death in 1955. Using inventive lighting, posing, and cropping techniques within his carefully staged studio settings, he was able to visually translate both the physical and psychological nuances of his subjects.
