This revelatory book focuses on a remarkable series of encounters between the most prominent French philosophers of the 1960s and 1970sSartre, Deleuze, Bourdieu, and Foucault among themand the artists of their times, most particularly the protagonists of the Narrative Figuration movement. Each encounter involved either a mutual engagement or the writing of critical texts or catalogue prefacestexts that illuminate not only the work of the artists but also the production of the philosopher-writer concerned. Although the protagonists of French theory are universally known and studied, their thought is presented without a sense of contiguity, chronology, or context in translation, while the artists with whom they engaged are virtually unknown outside the French-speaking world. This account restores the lived context of artistic production. What Bourdieu called cultural competence is seen to be essential for these particular philosophers, and Sarah Wilson shows that it is through them that the figurative art of 1970s France can be introduced to the audience it deserves.
