註釋This is the first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the Romanian-born artist Paul Neagu (1938?2004), who lived in London from 1971 to his death. It explores his manifold artistic practice which includes performance, sculpture, exhibition display, drawing, painting, video, photography, and poetry, within an original, holistic, metaphysical view on art. His aim was to develop a visual idiom that would be understood across cultures, but the demands and investigations of which are complex. This volume reevaluates his importance in London?s cosmopolitan artistic scene since the early 1970s and examines how his work was informed both by Western and Eastern avant-gardes. Only recently has his oeuvre, transcending artistic ?disciplines,? navigating between cultural contexts, juggling along the way an impressive number of intellectual and artistic references, become an important source of inspiration for young artists, curators, and intellectuals.00Neagu?s philosophical approach to his work led him to push the boundaries of abstraction that he first discovered clandestinely in Communist Romania. Having used his own body as a medium in his performance of ?ritual? events, he often referred to embodied experience. He promoted physical engagement with his work: his palpable objects and tactile boxes deliberately invited touch (Palpable Art Manifesto, 1969). Tactility indeed underlines one of Neagu?s enduring aims: to refute what he perceived as the primacy of visuality within art. His ritualized performances thus often left a trail of sculptural objects and created immersive, sensory experiences.00Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz, Liechtenstein (16.05. - 05.09.2021) / Museum Joanneum, Graz, Austria ( 03.06. - 25.09.2022) / The National Art Museum of Timisoara, Romania (16.12.2022 - 15.04.2023).
