Many of his works with the typical "Broodthaers materials" are aiming at the national "character" and are often painted in the national colours. "Fémur d'homme belge" and "Fémur de la femme francaise"Įspecially in Marcel Broodthaers' early artworks, which are reminiscent of certain objects of the Nouveaux Realisme movement, a preoccupation with the artist's heritage and social coinage as a Belgian becomes evident. En pointant directement vers l'effet silencieux de la mort, l'artiste s'oppose à la création des mythes nationaux tout en mettant à nu la logique absurde de la guerre.īroodthaers, bones, surrealist object, Belgian Surrealismġ. Les fémurs peints de Broodthaers nous rappellent les significations des os dans le culte politique des morts et suscitent des associations avec les funérailles nationales de cercueils enveloppés du drapeau national et avec les dépouilles humaines qu'eux-mêmes enveloppent. Les cimetières militaires sont devenus depuis des lieux de pèlerinage et de célébration nationale. Mais surtout à l'époque moderne, le droit aux dépouilles des soldats tombés est devenu un élément clé du nationalisme. Les os ont joué un rôle de premier plan dans de nombreux aspects de la vie quotidienne, de la religion et de la politique depuis plusieurs milliers d'années. Contrairement au reste de l'ouvre de cet artiste, que l'on interprète souvent d'un point de vue sémiotique, la signification de ces deux objets semble relever avant tout de l'iconographie de l'os comme objet matériel. By pointing directly to the material that is the unresisting result of death, the artist turned against the creation of national myth and instead revealed the absurd logic of war.Ībstract (F): "Fémur d'homme belge" et "Fémur de la femme française"- deux os de la cuisse humains peints dans les couleurs des drapeaux belge et français - font partie des ouvres de jeunesse de Marcel Broodthaers. Broodthaers' painted femurs remind us of the meaning that bones have within the political cult of the dead and arouse associations with the stately burial of coffins that have been covered with national flags - and the human relics beneath them. But especially in modern times, the claim to the mortal remains of the fallen soldiers has developed to a substantial element of nationalism soldiers' cemeteries have since become sites of national worship and pilgrimage. Bones have played an important role in many different aspects of everyday-life, religion and politics for several thousand years. While the semiotic reading of artworks is the predominant mode of interpretation for Broodthaers' entire ouvre, the special significance of these two objects seems to lie at least as much in the iconography of the material bone.
