Edward Coley BurneOCoJones (Birmingham, 1833 OCo Londres, 1898)Toute l'oeuvre de Burne-Jones peut -tre comprise comme une tentative de cr(r)er par la peinture un monde de beaut(r) parfaite, aussi diff(r)rent du Birmingham de son enfance que possible, un conglom(r)rat industriel, mugissant, d'une laideur et d'une mis re inimaginables. Les deux grands peintres symbolistes fran ais, Gustave Moreau et Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, reconnurent imm(r)diatement Burne-Jones comme l'un de leurs compagnons de route artistique. Mais il est tr s invraisemblable que Burne-Jones ait accept(r) ou peut--tre m-me compris l'(r)tiquette de 1/2symboliste . Pourtant, il semble avoir (r)t(r) l'un des membres les plus repr(r)sentatifs du mouvement symboliste et de cet esprit 1/2fin de si cle si largement r(r)pandu.Burne-Jones est g(r)n(r)ralement catalogu(r) comme pr(r)rapha(r)lite. En r(r)alit(r), il ne fut jamais membre de la confr(r)rie form(r)e en 1848. La branche du pr(r)rapha(r)lisme dont rel ve Burne-Jones n'est pas celle d'un Hunt ou d'un Millais mais de Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Le travail de Burne-Jones de la fin des ann(r)es 1850 est d'ailleurs tr s proche du style de Rossetti. Son id(r)al f(r)minin est (r)galement inspir(r) de celui de Rossetti, caract(r)ris(r) par des chevelures abondantes, des mentons affirm(r)s, des cous longs et des corps androgynes cach(r)s par d'amples robes m(r)di(r)vales. Les mentons affirm(r)s demeurent un trait frappant que les deux artistes utilis rent dans leurs tableaux de femmes. A partir des ann(r)es 1860, leurs canons de beaut(r)divergent. Celles de Burne-Jones se font de plus en plus virginales et (r)th(r)r(r)es, au point que dans certaines de ses oeuvres ultimes les jeunes femmes ont l'air anorexique. Au d(r)but des ann(r)es 1870, Burne-Jones a peint de nombreux tableaux illustrant des mythes ou des l(r)gendes dans lesquels il semble avoir tent(r) d'exorciser le traumatisme de son histoire avec Mary Zambaco. De Constable a Francis Bacon, aucun peintre anglais vivant ne jouit d'une reconnaissance internationale aussi importante que celle dont Burne-Jones fit l'objet au d(r)but des ann(r)es 1890. Sa grande r(r)putation commen a a d(r)cliner d s la seconde moiti(r) de la d(r)cennie et s'effondra apr s 1900 avec le triomphe du Modernisme. A posteriori, nous pouvons interpr(r)ter cette absence de relief et ce d(r)tournement de la narration comme les caract(r)ristiques d'un modernisme pr(r)coce, les premiers pas h(r)sitants vers l'abstraction. Il n'est donc pas (r)trange que Kandinsky mentionne Rossetti et Burne-Jones comme les pr(r)curseurs de l'abstraction dans son livre Du spirituel dans l'art et dans la peinture
