    Dürer – Mathematiker und Künstler

    May 22, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Wie lassen sich Kunst und Mathematik vereinen? Wenn wie bei Albrecht Dürer der kreative Geist des Künstlers und der logische  Verstand des Mathematiker hier und da im Laufe der Kunstgeschichte zusammen fanden, entstanden großartige Kunstwerke. Albrecht Dürer, der Druckgrafiker der deutschen Renaissance, leistete mit der Veröffentlichung verschiedener Werke zu mathematischen Prinzipien, zur Perspektive oder auch zu idealen Proportionen einen entscheidenen Beitrag zur Mathematik. Zur selben Zeit wie die Universaltalente Leonardo da Vinci und Piero della Francesca hat auch Dürer Kunst und Mathematik erfolgreich miteinander verbunden und gelangte  so zu einer „ultimative Wahrheit”. Sein Kupferstich Melencolia I (1514) ist dafür  ein unumstrittenes Beispiel: Gelehrte haben Jahrhunderte damit verbracht, den „Rhomboederstumpf” in…

    Villon, Pasolini, Courier ou Le Caravage… Un poète francais du Moyen Âge, un cinéaste italien des années 60 / 70, un écrivain français à cheval entre xixe et xxe siècle et un peintre italien du xvie siècle… Cherchez les points communs !

    Hieronymus Bosch – ein religiöser Fanatiker?

    May 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Wenig ist bekannt über Hieronymus Bosch. Als niederländischer Maler im 15. Jahrhundert geboren, entstammt das Meiste, was wir heute über ihn wissen den gerade mal 25 ihm sicher zugeordneten Gemälden (eine Zahl, die mit den Jahren deutlich zurückgegangen ist). Durch die Verwendung von Diptychons und Triptychons gelang es Bosch die Erwartungshaltung seiner Betrachter sofort auf eine religiöse Thematik zu lenken. Zu seinen berühmtesten Werken gehört Der Garten der Lüste (um 1480-1505) – aber war Bosch wirklich ein so strenger Christ, wie es dieses Gemälde vermuten lässt? Auf den ersten Blick, man kann es dem Betrachter nicht verübeln, wirkt die Szene als entstamme sie einem wirklich skurrilen Kindermärchen. Erst bei näherer…

    Dürer: the Mathematical Artist

    May 17, 2012 / 0 Comments

    I have long considered the artist and the mathematician to be incompatible specimens; geeks and creatives; oil and water. But artists such as Dürer, accomplished in both art and mathematics, certainly make a good case against my point of view. German Renaissance printmaker Albrecht Dürer made significant contributions to mathematics in literature, publishing works about the principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. He succeeded at a time when other great thinkers, including polymaths Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca were thinking in new ways, combining art with mathematics as a way of expressing an ‘ultimate truth’. Nothing conveys Dürer’s capacity for combining the two like his famous engraving…

    Bosch and his Moral High Horse

    May 15, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Little is known about Hieronymus Bosch. A Dutch painter born in the 15th century, the most we know about him is gleaned from the mere 25 paintings that are definitively attributed to him (a number significantly whittled down over the years). Using triptychs and diptychs, Bosch was able to conduct religious narratives through his art. Among his most famous is The Garden of Earthly Delights (c. 1480-1505) – was Bosch really as stern a Christian as demonstrated in this painting? At first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking the scene is a whimsical child’s fairytale. But closer inspection reveals the heavenly and hellish intricate details, embodying both ecstasy and despair.…

    Caravaggio und Pasolini: Verwandte Seelen

    May 15, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Als bedeutende Unruhestifter ihrer Zeit werden der italienische Filmregisseur Pier Paolo Pasolini und der italienische Maler Caravaggio, sowohl in persönlicher als auch in beruflicher Hinsicht häufig miteinander verglichen. Aber was genau rechtfertigt einen solchen Vergleich? Caravaggios Kunst besticht durch ihr außergewöhnliches Lichtkonzept: einem Scheinwerfer gleich werden dramatische Hell-Dunkel-Kontraste erzeugt, die die Figuren, ihre Mimik und Gestik lebendig wirken lassen und jedes noch so intime Makel offenbaren. Durch seine Lichteffekte besitzen seine Gemälde eine für damalige Verhältnisse nahezu erschreckende Lebensähnlichkeit. Pasolini, wegen seiner extremen politischen Ansichten zu seinen Lebzeiten ebenso missverstanden, produzierte einige der schockierendsten Filme des 20. Jahrhunderts. Revolutionär, homosexuell und durchaus gewillt Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen – die unheimliche Ähnlichkeit…

    The Self-Indulgence of the Self-Portrait

    May 11, 2012 / 0 Comments

    The self-portrait: an frank insight into the soul of an artist or a web of lies? Self-Portraits are the epicentre of the Metropolitan Museum’s current exhibition: ‘Rembrandt and Degas: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’, presenting early self-portraits by the artists side by side for the first time. Featured below: left, Rembrandt van Rijn, Sheet of Studies with Self-Portrait (detail), 1630-1634 and right, Edgar Degas, Self-Portrait (detail), c. 1855-1857: With the mass production of improved glass mirrors, the Early Renaissance in the mid-15th century saw a wave of self-portraits amongst painters, sculptors, and printmakers alike. A range of self-depictions were produced, from the humble sketch to extravagant biblical…

    Caravaggio and Pasolini: Kindred Spirits

    May 10, 2012 / 1 Comment

    Significant troublemakers of their time, Italian film director Pier Paolo Pasolini is frequently likened to Italian painter Caravaggio, both personally and professionally. Why and how are the artists so similar? Caravaggio’s fine art is accredited with the invention of cinematic lighting – the dramatic contrast of dark and light, the minute detail of the human figure and the intimate reveal of every quirk and blemish feature in all of his pieces.  His work is surely the closest we can get to looking at a photograph of the 16th century. Pasolini, equally misunderstood in his lifetime because of his extreme political views, produced some of the most shocking films of the…

    Immortality Inspired Art

    May 8, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Immortality: the notion that one lives on past this life, thus helping us mere mortals digest the fear and grief brought on by death. Heavy investments of inestimable wealth into the unwavering belief that the afterlife exists has produced hugely lavish art, including majestic sculptures, tombs and precious artifacts. The Han Dynasty, China’s second imperial family as of 206 BCE, was one such group of believers. The enormous wealth that awaited family members upon their passing would surely make one relish the chance to expire. Intricate burial chambers, kitchens, concubines and rooms crammed with the most precious of gems were just the tip of the iceberg, with reports of sacrificing…
