| Summary: | Analysing the Memory Drawings series completed in 1963 opens the way to studying one of the first suites by the American artist Robert Morris dedicated to the theme of memory. Difficult to pigeonhole in terms of styles Morris’s work has recurrently interrogated the notions of memory and oblivion from its beginnings. First, this article examines the creation of each Memory Drawing in the light of the influence of the Task performances at the Judson Dance Theater and the readings of Wittgenstein. It then discusses the nature of what the spectator-reader experiences while trying to reconstitute the creation process in his mind. Staged by his creation in this way the fragility of memory is lastly analysed as a criticism of the idea of intentionality and artistic heroism. |
