TI  - Feeling and Seeing: Colours, Matters and Forms of Feeling in Non-Figurative Art after the Second World War 
AU  - Alexandra Charvier 
AB  - From the end of the 19th century onwards, a renewed approach to the spectator’s perceptive act in the theoretical discourse on art was asserted, concomitantly with the psychological and philosophical discourse. The spectator’s act of perception would explain certain pictorial illusions. Beyond that, the perceptive act could play a new role in the apprehension of a colour or a quality of texture, linking it, by association or equivalence, to other sensations, tactile, olfactory, sonorous, just as immediately perceived by going beyond the naturalistic principles of imitation. In this paper, I will first highlight the evolution of one of the theories of art focusing on the notion of suggestion, then to show how different non-figurative propositions after the Second World War are in line with the continuity of this conception through a creative research on how to make perceptible on a flat surface an impression of depth, expanse, or swirls; a matter or a form perceived as sharp or rough, not trying to depict either the object or a sensation but to create an "equivalence that determines a sensation" (P. Tal Coat). In parallel with a revival of psychology, considering that our perception establishes relationships in the visual field, that we grasp structures significant to all the senses, many artists started a creative research on how to make visible sensations anchored in their experience of the sensitive world, which for them often give rise to others, emotional or spiritual, inducing a feeling "beyond words and intellectual frameworks" (D. Vallier). The singular nature of this aesthetic, which maintains an unexpected link with reality, provokes a debate on its attachment to abstract art.
