MANIFESTO OF INTEGRAL NATURALISM 1978-2013

From the first Manifesto written with Pierre Restany in 1978 to the New one written with Claude Mollard in 2013, the artist Frans Krajcberg renews his cry of revolt!

Pierre Restany, Diary of the Rio Negro, 1978 (1st edition 2013)

In this unpublished travel diary, the art critic Pierre Restany recounts his progress along a tributary of the Amazon. At the same time, he enunciated the principles of a new theory of art and the original formulation of the Manifesto of Integral Naturalism. This text is a fundamental critical contribution to a vision of ecology as a cultural revolution.

Preface by Gilles Tiberghien

Frans Krajcberg and Claude Mollard, New Manifesto of integral Naturalism, 2013

35 years after Pierre Restany’s Rio Negro Manifesto (with Frans Krajcberg and Seep Baendereck), Claude Mollard and Frans Krajcberg update this fundamental text.

This New Manifesto of Integral Naturalism wants to contribute to move the consciences, and to develop an artistic movement on the theme of the nature. It wants to influence the behavior of political leaders who are too often inert in the face of growing threats to the planet. It is a call to all actors of the art world.
