A Night Bombardment By Lieutenant Henri Farré Observateur-Bombardier au Premier Groupe d'Escadrille de Bombardment Only one who had taken part in a night bombardment from the air could have caught the spirit of the scene as Lieutenant Farre has done. Nothing spreads such terror as a night bombardment - the terror being out of all proportion to the casualties inflicted. Given another few weeks and the Allies would have sown this terror broadcast in Germany. The machines and fliers and the bombs were finally ready-and Germany knew it, too.

Captain Fequant Returns “On His Shield” By Lieut. Henri Farré Observateur-Bombardier au Premier Groupe d'Escadrille de Bombardment

Returning from a reprisal bombardment of Saarbruek in June, 1915, Captain Fequant stood in the cockpit to duel the Boche. A machine gun bullet struck him on the head, he crumpled up, falling half out of the machine. As he fell Sergeant Xiox gripped his dead comrade’s clothing with a badly wounded hand while with the other hand he piloted the airplane back to its field in safety.

Preview of the Chrysler Museum’s Upcoming Exhibition: Henri Farré and the Birth of Combat Aviation

June 29, 2018

Henri Farré (French, 1871–1934), pictured in 1918. 

The invention of the first airplane was the accomplishment of Orville and Wilbur Wright when they first flew their plane on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903. Although the American brothers invented this novel mode of transportation, the French were early adopters of the technology and were enthused by its sophistication and potential. Early French aviators witnessed the Wrights flying their invention at Le Mans in 1908 and commented that their machine was superior to any produced by French inventors (the Guardian).

Just six years later, the first Great War broke out between France and Germany, which ushered in a new era of warfare containing new weaponry like fortified trenches, poison gas, and machine guns, as well as the first use of airplanes for military combat. The French post-Impressionist painter Henri Farré was the first person to document and paint aviation warfare. His paintings depicting different airplanes, bombing raids, reconnaissance missions, and dogfights were revolutionary in both execution and subject matter.

Luther Y. Gore, an aviation artist and professor of Humanities and Applied Science at the University of Virginia characterizes Farré’s wartime production as “searching for a statement of the meaning of this latest of man’s accomplishments, without pinning our interest to the outward and superficial appearance of the innovation itself” (Gore, 83). Farré completed 175 aviation scenes between 1915 and 1918, over one painting per week, and was the most productive combat artist of the war. 

Farré was born in Foix, France in 1871, and as a young adult studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he was the pupil of French symbolist painter Gustave Moreau (1826–98). Farré also knew and was greatly influenced by Henri Matisse throughout his life (Anderson Galleries, 1919). After graduating art school and occasionally exhibiting in Parisian galleries and salons, Farré relocated to Buenos Aries, Argentina by the turn of the century and became the city’s most prominent portrait painter who serviced the numerous Spanish industrialists living in the capital. At the onset of World War I however, he quickly returned to France to enlist in the army but was embusqué, or shelved for military service at a later date due to his age of forty three. Dismayed and eager to do his part in the service of France, he returned to army headquarters in Paris months later to resubmit his papers and met with General Gustave Léon Niox (1840-1921), director of the Musée de l’Armée, who convinced him to be a combat artist for France in order to create images of the war for French civilians.

It was sometime in 1914 when he attached to the Groupe d’Escadrille de Bombardement, a squadron of aviators who traveled the entirety of the front. Farré was present for almost every major conflict during the war including raids on the German cities of Karlsruhe, Dieuze, and Metz.

Henri Farré, Bombing Nancy, 1916. Oil on canvas. Richard Norton Gallery.

 Farre’s style borrows heavily from Impressionism with his paintings possessing very loose, painterly brushstrokes and emphasizing color as the dominant purveyor of information in his compositions. The subjects of his works, almost always planes (although he did produce paintings of airbases and portraits of pilots), are always portrayed in blurry bursts of speed. Farre’s paintings expertly illustrate motion at high speed due to his Impressionist background and signified the first time an artist attempting to convey objects travelling at such high velocities. He also noted challenges regarding the depictions of skyscapes, he had to train his eyes to “see vertically rather than horizontally” as he found it difficult to recreate depth and perception from high altitudes (Gore, 82).

Apart from recording the various types of planes used during the war, Farré strived to capture the planes’ technological prowess and to privilege humankind’s ability to create these new machines capable of unimaginable feats.  The overall statement of Farre’s work during World War I is paradoxical: “that flying is a magnificent achievement of the human spirit, and yet this achievement is applied to deadly pursuits- to killing one’s fellow man in a new way whose strangeness to the human experience boggles the mind: death in and from the sky” (Gore, 84). Farré was not solely focused on objectively reporting on the happenings of the French front line but also on telling the narrative of the dichotomy between marvelous aerial technological innovations and the challenging reality of violence and war. 

After the war, Farré returned to painting landscapes and portraits, winning a medal at the 1933 Paris Salon. He lived in the United States after the war and exhibited his World War I paintings in New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois to benefit orphans of slain French fighter pilots. He married an American woman and lived quietly in Chicago, occasionally travelling back to Paris for visits and exhibitions until his death in 1934. The French government awarded him a Croix de Guerre for his service during the war and he was buried in Paris. 

The Chrysler Museum’s exhibition Henri Farre: The Birth of Aviation Warfare is on display from September 28, 2018 until January 27, 2019 and was made possible by the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, Virginia, whose collection they have so graciously loaned to the Chrysler Museum for this exhibition.

Week Seven

Last Friday Lloyd and I went to a collector’s house to look at the Chinese Propaganda posters. Our main goal was to get correct measurements so that were can do a more accurate fit test and have the measurements for the pixie glass that we are using to support the posters when they are hanged. The collection was amazing and it was great to actually see works of art that I have been researching. The collector has so many posters that the hard part of this show is picking the ones that highlight the main ideas.

On Tuesday I entered all of the measurements that we took of the Chinese Propaganda posters into the checklist. Not all of the posters are the same size but there are some uniform measurements. Also, I added some more posters that we might use in the exhibition.

I also went to the library with Jacqui on Tuesday to look at some books that we had by Fiske Kimball (the scholar who was mentioned in last week’s post). We did not have his main work on Thomas Jefferson but I did get A History of Architecture. This book briefly mentions Jefferson when it talks about early American Architecture. Another book that I got was about Colonial Houses in Tidewater Virginia. I thought this might be helpful because part of the Jefferson Palladio project is about Palladian buildings that were in America and many of these buildings were plantation houses in Virginia. After the library Rachel, Jacqui, Victoria and I went to Chipotle.

When we got back to the museum Jacqui, Delaney and I went with Susan into storage to look at the George Cooke painting called The Coming of the Maidens as Wives for the Settlers. I suggested that we use this work to commemorate 1619 at Jamestown. 1619 was the year that the House of Burgesses was established, the first African’s arrived in the colony and the first women came to Virginia.

Another project I started this week was creating a checklist for our upcoming show of WWI Aviation paintings. The show will feature paintings and engravings by the Franco-American Artist Henri Farré. Farré was part of the France Air Force in WWI and he painted the different planes, battles, and people that he saw. One of the coolest objects in this collection is actual an engraving that he did of the St. Louis taking off from New York and arriving in France in 1934. There is a lot of information on these paintings in a catalogue that was created by the Military Aviation Museum. The only problem is that there are no dimensions for any of the paintings in the catalogue.

In the afternoon on Thursday I helped the education department set up for Third Thursday. After work all of the interns went to Third Thursday. This Third Thursday was cool because they set up fencing around the lawn so people could bring their drinks outside. There was also free popcorn!! We got drinks in Huber Court then went to the Taco truck at the Glass Studio. We ate our tacos in the garden. After we ate Delaney, Jacqui, Sarah, and I went to an eight o’ clock showing of The Beguiled at the Naro. I had a lot of fun!

Un nouvel article a été publié sur http://www.rollingstone.fr/le-compositeur-et-inventeur-pierre-henry-est-mort/

Le compositeur et inventeur Pierre Henry est mort

La célèbre « Harmonie des sphères » perd son inventeur. Sa « Messe pour le temps présent » est encore dans toutes les mémoires. Rarement un musicien et compositeur classique n’aura autant marqué l’histoire du rock. Il est mort à 89 ans et laisse un héritage considérable

Par Yves Bigot

https://youtu.be/7K4RuQDxUaI

« Si en 1966, les Beatles avaient collaboré avec Pierre Henry, comme Paul McCartney en avait l’intention, l’histoire de la musique du XXème siècle en eût été révolutionnée », écrivait en 2001 le magazine anglais Mojo. Elle le fut malgré tout, et pas qu’une fois, par cet aventurier du son comme liturgie, prophète de la musique moderne, qui aura inventé, engendré, inspiré, pas moins de trois genres et mouvements artistiques majeurs, tout en atteignant à deux reprises – à trente ans d’intervalle – le statut de star du hit parade.

Au sortir de la Guerre, déjà, lorsque le tout jeune Pierre Henry (né le 9 décembre 1927), élève d’Olivier Messiaen et de Nadia Boulanger au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, rejoint Pierre Schaeffer au sein du studio d’essai de la Radio Télédiffusion Française, Symphonie pour un homme seul (1950), leur manifeste d’ingénieurs-musiciens, fonde la musique concrète, destinée à « déconstruire la musique pour que résonne l’harmonie des sphères ». Maurice Béjart s’en emparera cinq ans plus tard, collaboration qui s’étendra sur quinze ballets. D’autres chorégraphes suivront : Georges Balanchine, Carolyn Carlson, Merce Cunningham, Maguy Marin, etc.

Première œuvre électroacoustique, Haut Voltage suivra, marquant l’émancipation de Pierre Henry, figure de proue à la tête du Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète, puis de son studio APSOME de la rue Cardinet, avant-garde sonique qui connaîtra son apogée en 1963 avec ses Variations pour une porte et un soupir. Encore entendue dans la série les Sopranos, cette œuvre constituera une influence majeure du rock progressif anglais des années 60, Pink Floyd en tête, Soft Machine, et plus tard Radiohead.

Mais c’est avec Le Voyage (1962), première composition psychédélique (qui exprime l’âme), que Pierre Henry va fasciner la génération rock des années 60 et les hippies, friands du Livre des morts tibétain qu’il illustre : les Beatles (« Tomorrow Never Knows ») et Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced ?) à Londres, Frank Zappa et les Mothers of Invention (Freak Out) à Los Angeles, Jefferson Airplane (« Would You Like a Snack ? »), Grateful Dead qu’il admirait (Anthem of the Sun), Quicksilver Messenger Service (les longs passages improvisés de leur version de « Who Do You Love ? ») et David Crosby (« I’d Swear There Was Somebody Here ») à San Francisco, Gong dans le sud de la France et plus tard, Rodolphe Burger à Strasbourg (Cheval/Mouvement) et les Rita Mitsouko à l’usine Pali-Kao : « Je l’écoutais au lycée, en même temps que Jimi Hendrix, expliquait Fred Chichin, lorsque les Rita l’invitent à la Cité de la Musique. Il a ouvert un univers de sons et donné l’envie de musique électro-acoustique. Il a une conception du son très physique, contrairement à beaucoup de compositeurs contemporains, qui nient le plaisir du mouvement, de la matière et des corps. Il est extrêmement moderne avec son côté sound-system – c’est pour ça que l’intelligentsia l’a marginalisé. » (« Pense à ta carrière » sur Cool frenésie, reprend exactement l’intro de son « Psyché Rock »).

Ce flirt avec le rock se concrétisera inconsciemment par sa Messe de Liverpool (1967) et sur les ondes de Salut les Copains, les barricades de mai 68, chez Castel et dans les discothèques de Saint-Tropez avec les Jerks électroniques Ypersound de sa Messe pour le temps présent. Les premiers se vendront à des centaines de milliers d’exemplaires sous leur célèbre pochette argentée, alors que la seconde entrera dans l’histoire au festival d’Avignon grâce au ballet de B��jart, son ami de toujours. L’album Ceremony, enregistré avec l’excellent groupe de blues-rock Spooky Tooth (1969), ne sera qu’un épilogue, couronné par un concert de minuit à l’Olympia.

Mais là où l’effet Pierre Henry sur l’histoire de rock reste un secret bien gardé des connaisseurs, en revanche, la techno, elle, va le revendiquer comme son maître fondateur. Son tube « Psyché Rock » sera utilisé à toutes les sauces, du film Z de Costa Gavras à celui de Jean Becker avec Vanessa Paradis (Elisa), de Mean Girls à la série Futurama, de la publicité pour la Mobi carte à celle pour la bourse de New York ou pour Nescafé en passant par des centaines d’échantillonnages plus ou moins autorisés. À tel point qu’en 1997, les plus prestigieux DJ’s (William Orbit, Coldcut, St Germain, etc.) lui rendaient hommage avec Metamorphoses, album de remix des Jerks électroniques qui verra « Psyché Rock », relooké par Fat Boy Slim, devenir l’hymne de la culture dance, de Brighton à Ibiza. Sollicité par le groupe américain Violent Femmes, trafiquant avec les Propellerheads, collaborant avec le trompettiste suisse Erik Truffaz, participant au projet L’Amour foot de Libération (1998), se produisant telle une rock star à l’Olympia, à la Cigale, au Festival de Montreux comme à la Roque d’Anthéron, sur la piazza Beaubourg, l’Esplanade de la Défense, à Radio France, au Centre Pompidou, à la Cité de la Musique, à l’église Saint-Eustache, au Carreau du Temple, à Bethnal Green, expédiant sa musique au Japon comme en Australie, Pierre Henry continuait, à près de quatre-vingt-dix ans, à faire l’événement, que ce soit avec ses très populaires Concerts chez lui (1996, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2009) qui font courir le tout-Paris, son intégrale en quatre coffrets (Mix 01, 02, 03 et 04), son intronisation au Panthéon des Victoires de la Musique (1998), le Qwartz électronique d’honneur (2005) et le Prix du Président de la République de l’Académie Charles Cros (2005), ses incessantes nouvelles créations parmi lesquelles on citera notamment Intérieur/Extérieur, Une tour de Babel, Tam-tam du merveilleux, Dracula, Analogy et Dieu, récité d’après Victor Hugo par Jean-Paul Farré.

Plasticien, sculpteur, cuisinier, provocateur, reclus, bougon, maniaque, épicurien et mystique à la fois, Pierre Henry avait réussi à intéresser le grand public à l’avant-garde par la grâce de la modernité que la jeunesse trouvait dans sa musique. N’est-ce pas là le rêve de tout artiste ?
