Argument - English edition - July-Sept 2024

In this issue

A number to celebrate the art of portraiture!

The magazine Argument presents its ninth issue whose theme is that of the portrait. In this issue, you will discover twelve talented artists:

Anton Hirschfeld & Mariana Loupan
Lê Phổ & Jean-François Hubert Jason Gardner
Fabien Mérelle
Alena Kuznetsova

Margherita Lipinska
Alexandra Oza
Beñat Picabea
Jessica Pliez

The Argument magazine project was born of the idea of bringing together works of art, an audience of readers and artists, present through interviews, and conceiving the whole thing as a collective exhibition by placing the artists at the centre of the subject.

You won’t find any advertising here, a deliberate choice to maintain our independence.

We have passed the 3,000 readers mark and we now have a second reader edition, in English, for our English-speaking readers.

Argument is available on the digital distribution platforms of Cafeyn, PressReader, Magzter, Readly, Scopalto and Kono Magazine; the print magazine can be purchased on the magazine’s website, by the issue or by subscription.

We want to create a direct link between the public, the works and the artist.

It’s the artists who count above all:
they write the world with matter,
They share their visions and dreams with us,
playing with shapes and colours.
They radiate poetry, wisdom and emotion.

We hope to see you every quarter for a new issue or Special edition, such as the one on Russian Artists Against the War, which we published in November 2023.

Enjoy your reading!

Argument - English edition Magazine Description:

Argument magazine presents its special issue against the war in Ukraine aimed to give voice to Russian dissidents, anti-war artists and those who dare to openly protest against Russia's horrible invasion of Ukraine. They thus provide their support to the Ukrainian people.
Almost all of these dissident artists were forced to leave their countries; However, some have remained and they only exhibit their anti-war works underground, just like during the USSR era. They do not let go of their idea of waking up the hearts of people in Russia, helping them understand reality and getting rid of fear.
These Russian artists oppose and expose themselves to the regime of dictator Putin and are the first to be captured by his repressive machine.
