L'abstraction gestuelle en all-over est de bout en bout une peinture typiquement am\u00e9ricaine. Affirmer cela pourrait susciter un malaise, voire une alerte, dans la p\u00e9riode actuelle, sans doute la plus chauvine de l'histoire de notre nation depuis de nombreuses d\u00e9cennies - s'il n'y avait pas le fait que l'artiste dont je vais parler est n\u00e9 \u00e0 Ceylan et a grandi en Grande-Bretagne. Il est donc new-yorkais depuis 1972, ce qui fait de son histoire, celle de Julian Lethbridge, une histoire d'immigration typiquement am\u00e9ricaine - ce qui signifie : r\u00e9ussie. En dehors de la population am\u00e9ricaine indig\u00e8ne, \"nous\" sommes tous venus de quelque part, pour les raisons les plus diverses et aux \u00e9poques les plus vari\u00e9es, en tissant, en variant et en structurant de mani\u00e8re marmor\u00e9enne la culture de ce pays de mani\u00e8re miraculeuse. En g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, la rubrique \"All-over-American-type-painting\" englobe un large spectre de l'art apr\u00e8s 1950 - il s'agit certainement d'un arc plus large que celui voulu par Clement Greenberg, le cr\u00e9ateur du terme - qui va de Jackson Pollock, Philip Guston et Willem de Kooning \u00e0 Jasper Johns et Cy Twombly. Le d\u00e9nominateur commun se cache dans le principe de travail selon lequel l'amalgame de signes qui \u00e9voque une apparence plus ou moins figurative ou po\u00e9tique - parfois, comme chez Johns, il en r\u00e9sulte une apparence tout \u00e0 fait prosa\u00efque - se suffit \u00e0 lui-m\u00eame en tant qu'image. (...)
\nLa densit\u00e9 visuelle et tactile des plus grandes de ces images (r\u00e9centes) ne ressemble en rien \u00e0 ce que l'on a pu voir dans les travaux ant\u00e9rieurs de Lethbridge. Il est possible qu'elles marquent un tournant dans son \u0153uvre, qui avait jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent subi une transformation continue, \u00e9tape par \u00e9tape. Mais pour l'instant, je me contente de prendre les images actuelles de Lethbridge pour ce qu'elles sont, plut\u00f4t que de les interpr\u00e9ter comme des signes avant-coureurs de ce qui va suivre. Expression d'une sensibilit\u00e9 instinctivement r\u00e9serv\u00e9e, aussi r\u00e9fl\u00e9chie que disciplin\u00e9e, mais - de mani\u00e8re totalement non apolog\u00e9tique - h\u00e9doniste, ses toiles subjuguent et attirent par leur raffinement, \u00e0 la fois fascinant et facile d'acc\u00e8s pour quiconque dispose de la combinaison requise de patience et de d\u00e9sir. Dans l'ensemble et sur le long terme, ces tableaux sont des machines en perp\u00e9tuel mouvement, dont la dynamique tourbillonnante annonce que la peinture all-over-american-type est une parenth\u00e8se loin d'\u00eatre close dans l'histoire de l'art moderne, c'est-\u00e0-dire un pensum qui attend d'\u00eatre continuellement travaill\u00e9.
