Nobility of wood
Noblesse of wood is a film of Charles Dekeukeleire turned in 1954 in black and white.
This film shows the evolution of the woodcarving since the Moyen-âge until the Renaissance.
The film receives the reward of best film in black and white in division with the operator Jose Dutillieu with the Festival of film of Antwerp.
With the Middle Ages, that is to say at the 11th century, the man even made use of the tree, of its force and its form, the edge with blow of axe and bill hook. The subjects, almost always religious, have hieratic, right pauses, cut with same the trunk and conceived to be front view.
Gradually the technique improves, acquires round-offs, becomes animated. We enter during the Gothic time. While remaining nun, the sculptures grow rich popular characters with the marked faces, expressive.
It is the art of the sculptor to pass from the tree to the face, without anything to lose heart of wood and to use of its grace to express youth, and of its force to create units.
