| description | Does Art have a future? Here is a crucial question posed by artists and art critics by the turn of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The place given to the child is at the heart of this precise debate. Thus, such a mystic return to childhood represented a real hope for many artists, who seem to observe Baudelaire’s statement that toys are "the child’s first initiation into art". As a result, many Avant-garde artists will devote themselves to manufacturing playthings, either domestic or industrial. Especially since the Manifestos from Dadaism and Italian Futurism, the writings of the Bauhaus founding masters and pupils and even of the Czech modern artists, they instilled in this small object all the eloquence of their aesthetic and political contests. Therefore, we will seek to demonstrate that children play became the great motor of utopias and that the toy itself became a usual "combat weapon". Artistic literature from those years made it possible for us to restore all these adult-imaginaries projected into this "treasure of childhood", both witness and actor of a historical period, marked by unparalleled anthropological and political crises. |
