Description
Valentine of Saint-Point Dead in Cairo in 1953, in utter destitution, Valentine Saint-Point has long been relegated to the shadows of art history. This extraordinary experimenter - who frequented Rodin, Mucha, Marinetti and Canudo, wrote the Manifesto of the Futurist Woman (1912) and the Futurist Manifesto of Lust (1913), revolutionized the choreography by founding a new dance (La Métachorie), he became fascinated with theosophy, and eventually settled in Egypt and moved closer to Islam, while embracing the anticolonialist cause - had literally disappeared from memory. Who was Valentine of Saint-Point? At best she was remembered only as a great-niece of Lamartine who was decidedly eccentric ... After a half-century eclipse, this artistic experience at the crossroads of avant-garde and European modernist trends gradually return to the light: Valentine Saint-Point now appears as a key figure in the artistic creation of the early twentieth century. Valentine de Saint-Point Morte au Caire en 1953, dans le dénuement le plus total, Valentine de Saint-Point a longtemps été reléguée dans l'ombre de l'histoire de l'art. Cette expérimentatrice hors du commun - qui fréquenta Rodin, Mucha, Marinetti et Canudo, écrivit le Manifeste de la Femme futuriste (1912) et le Manifeste Futuriste de la luxure (1913), révolutionna la chorégraphie en fondant une nouvelle danse (la Métachorie), se passionna pour la théosophie, puis finit par s'établir en Égypte et se rapprocher de l'Islam, tout en embrassant la cause anticolonialiste - avait littéralement disparu des mémoires. Qui était donc Valentine de Saint-Point ? On ne se souvenait d'elle, au mieux, que comme d'une arrière-petite-nièce de Lamartine décidément bien excentrique... Après une éclipse d'un demi-siècle, cette expérience artistique au croisement des avant-gardes et des courants modernistes européens revient peu à peu à la lumière : Valentine de Saint-Point apparaît désormais comme une figure incontournable de la création artistique du début du XXe siècle.
