    Crossover in der Kunst – Wunderkammern der Moderne

    December 26, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Durch die Erweiterung des Kunstbegriffs ist es wieder möglich geworden, Kunst nicht mehr streng nach Genre oder Epochen gliedern zu müssen und daher als Ganzes und Gleichzeitiges zu betrachten. Somit kann von einem Crossover, nicht nur in der künstlerischen Praxis, sondern auch in der allgemeinen Kunstwahrnehmung gesprochen werden. Neben der Qualität und der Originalität der Kunstwerke setzen zeitgenössische Sammler immer mehr darauf, moderne Wunderkammern mit Bildern und Gegenständen zu schaffen, die perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt sind und ein einheitliches Ganzes verfolgen. Sie sind den Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance und des Barocks ähnlich, in denen Sammler ihre Objekte trotz ihrer unterschiedlichen Herkunft gemeinsam in Räumen arrangierten und der Öffentlichkeit präsentierten. So…

    „Bedenke, dass du sterben wirst.”

    November 26, 2013 / 1 Comment

    Der Tod und das Sterben in der Kunst – in den verschiedenen Epochen der Kunstgeschichte beschäftigten sich Künstler in ihren Werken mit dem Sterben und dem Tod, vor allem auch mit ihrem eigenen Ableben. Mittels unterschiedlichster Vanitas-Symbole veranschaulichten Künstler ihre eigene Sterblichkeit und hielten diese in ihrem Bildern auf eine einprägsame Weise dem Betrachter vor Augen. Von daher benennt man diese Darstellungen nach einem religiösen Leitsatz „Memento Mori – Bedenke, dass du sterben wirst”. So findet man das Memento Mori-Sujet als Stilmotiv immer wieder in der Kunst, mehrheitlich in Stillleben als in anderen Genren. Als typische Symbole verwendeten Künstler faulende oder mit Fliegen besetzte Früchte, umgekippte Weinkelche, Stundengläser, Totenschädel und…

    Cats: like Marmite, Kanye West and reality TV they tend to polarise opinions. To detractors they’re cold, calculating, sinister beings who use humans for food and attention. To cat lovers, the very traits that irk the haters – their cool countenance, air of superiority and unwillingness to be stroked if not in the mood – are all signs of character, which opposes the dogged subservience of their canine rivals (to the cat lover, dogs are just a little too…eager to please). And perhaps this is why so many artists seem to be in league with moggies (especially 20th Century artists for some reason). You only need type in artists and…

    Locos… ¿o no tanto?

    June 1, 2013 / 0 Comments

    El siglo XX fue un siglo de reivindicaciones en todos los ámbitos. El arte, por supuesto, no se quedó fuera de esta tendencia, tal y como demuestra un rápido vistazo a algunas de las obras maestras del siglo. Muchos de esos cuadros o esculturas que hoy tenemos por imprescindibles hubieran sido tirados directamente a la basura sólo medio siglo antes. En esta sucesión de barreras derribadas, acaso la última y más radical fue la de llamar la atención sobre el potencial creativo de los enfermos mentales.

    I’m not crazy; my mother had me tested.

    May 30, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Arguably, most forms of art worth lengthy discussion have a bit of madness behind them, whether it is a painting, film, or novel. Personally, I find that my creative work suffers a bit when everything in my life feels completely balanced. Think about the mental states of various actors, painters, and authors. Off of the top of my head, I can come up with Tilda Swinson, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Hemingway, Tolstoy, Poe, Wolfe, Caravaggio, (cough) Hitler… I could list tons and tons, but I’d much rather hear from you. But madness is rather subjective, isn’t it?

    Apadrina un Dalí

    March 18, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Dalí es el hombre de las mil caras, de la extravagancia como estandarte, de la controversia como modelo de vida, de la teatralidad como forma de promoción, del enfrentamiento con sus contemporáneos, de los exabruptos calculados, del culto al dinero por encima de todo y también,  afortunadamente, del surrealismo llevado al extremo. ¡Viva Dalí, muerte al pan! Son muchos los textos que se han escrito sobre su persona y su estilo de vida, seguramente más en vida de él que después de su fallecimiento, aunque en verdad basta con acercarse a las conjugadas frases que nos dejó para tratar de entender su histriónico carácter. Ya a la temprana edad de…

    Hallucinogens and Other Drugs

    December 27, 2012 / 0 Comments

    I will neither confirm nor deny any drugs I may or may not have experimented with in the past. In the present, I find many intriguing and interesting, despite being unsure of the things they’ll do to an already over-active mind and imagination – but again will not admit what they are. Whilst bad, and mind altering, sometimes forever, various drugs are at the very forefront of the entertainment industry. Walt and Jesse are nearly household names because of their mad skillz (I hope you heard that in Aaron Paul’s voice) as meth cooks on Breaking Bad. Mary Louise Parker has given so many of us a soft spot for…

    Dali et le Baby-Boomeur

    December 27, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Pendant les années 70, si ma mémoire ne me trahit pas, j’ai découvert le grand peintre Salvador Dali. A l’époque, je fuyais comme la peste les émissions culturelles – aujourd’hui aussi. Je ne m’attendais pas à voir à la télévision un homme avec des moustaches aussi ridicules que celles d’Hitler ou Napoléon III, déclamer avec force : «  Je suis fou du chocolat Lanvin. » Plus tard, je fréquentais les endroits branchés – mais le mot n’existait pas encore – les lieux comme Castel où Jean nous accueillait avec tellement de gentillesse, ou Régine rue de Ponthieu, plus moyen-oriental dans le débordement de parures d’or et de diamant portées par de jolies…

    Marmite and Klee

    November 29, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Let me steer you away from the realm of art for a moment, and instead let me ask you to consider the many love/hate relationships that we so often have.  Take chocolate for instance; LOVE chocolate, HATE myself afterwards (for all those who have consumed an entire large Galaxy bar in one sitting, you know what I mean….).  And then there’s Reality Television.  You know it’s wasting your life, minute by minute, and yet it can be so voyeuristically compelling.  And finally: marmite.  Of course, the old ‘you love it or you hate it’ phrase was seemingly created for this food product. Personally, I fall into the ‘love’ category, but…
