    Paul Gauguin and the Impressionists (part 2)

    August 18, 2020 / 0 Comments

    You can read part 1 here. The text below is the excerpt from the book Paul Gauguin, written by Anna Barskaya, published by Parkstone International. Gauguin’s deviation from Impressionism first manifested itself during his stay in Rouen. It is particularly evident in his plastic works, a case in point being the carving of a small wooden jewellery box. The decor of the external sides ornamented with theatrical masks and ballet dancers in tutus (a design borrowed from Degas) is in striking contrast with the corpse-like figure in the bottom of the box, which is reminiscent of a Peruvian mummy. This clash of motifs – worldly amusements and death – leaves no doubt as…

    Berthe Morisot

    June 7, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem Impressionismus von Nathalia Brodskaya, herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Eine Frau, die malt, war um die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts eine seltene Erscheinung, und in den Kreisen, die die offizielle Kunst ablehnten, etwas ganz Außergewöhnliches. Berthe Morisot nahm an den meisten Ausstellungen der Impressionisten teil. Ihr „sehr schöner Platz mitten unter den anderen Impressionisten“ (Venturi Bd. 2, S. 320) fand bei der Kritik eine Anerkennung, in die sich nicht wenig französische Galanterie mischte. Georges Rivière zum Beispiel fand ihr Talent „so reizend und so weiblich“ und urteilte: „Ihr Auge ist von außerordentlicher Sensibilität“ (ebd., S. 319). Und Philippe Burty schätzte den Reiz ihres Werks so…

    Berthe Morisot

    May 29, 2019 / 3 Comments

    A woman painter was a rare phenomenon in the mid nineteenth century and in the aesthetic camp hostile to official art, there was only one. Berthe Morisot participated in most of the Impressionist’s exhibitions. Berthe Morisot was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Jean-Honoré Fragonard and the artist painter Marguerite Gérard were distant relatives on her father’s side. Her father, Edmé Tiburce Morisot, held senior administrative positions. Berthe was born on 14 January 1841 in Bourges, in the administrative region of the Cher, because her father was then prefect of the Cher. Her mother, Marie-Cornélie Thomas, also from a prominent family, was the daughter of an inspector of…

    Degas: Léger comme le tutu d’un petit rat d’Opéra de Paris

    February 7, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Exposition : The Art of pastel from Degas to Redon Date : 15 Septembre 2017 − 8 Avril 2018 Lieu : Petit Palais Répétition sur scène, vers 1874. Pastel, plume et encre sur papier crème, collé sur toile, 54,3 x 73 cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art , New York. Dans le cercle des impressionnistes, c’est de Renoir que Degas fut le plus proche : tous deux préférèrent comme motif de leur peinture le Paris vivant de leur époque. Degas ne passa pas par l’atelier de Gleyre et fit probablement connaissance avec les futurs impressionnistes au café Guerbois. On ne sait pas exactement où il rencontra Manet. Peut-être furent-il présentés l’un…

    Degas: Light as a Tutu of a Ballet Student of the Paris Opers

    February 6, 2018 / 0 Comments

     Exhibition: The Art of Pastel From Degas to Redon Date: 15 September 2017 – 8 April 2018 Venue: Le Petit Palais  Edgar Degas was closest to Pierre-Auguste Renoir in the Impressionist’s circle, for both favoured the animated Parisian life of their day as a motif in their paintings. Degas did not attend Charles Gleyre’s studio; most likely he first met the future Impressionists at the Café Guerbois. It is not known exactly where he met Édouard Manet. Perhaps they were introduced to one another by a mutual friend, the engraver Félix Bracquemond, or perhaps Manet, struck by Degas’ audacity, first spoke to him at the Louvre in 1862. Two months…

    Impressions du monde flottant

    April 28, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Le XVIIe siècle en Europe avait vu se propager la mode de l’Orient avec des objets décoratifs importés de Turquie et de Perse. Au XVIIIe, on se passionna davantage pour l’Extrême-Orient grâce aux missions jésuites qui en rapportèrent nombreuses « chinoiseries », porcelaines, éventails et laques délicates. De la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe, ce fût au tour du Japon. Un engouement nouveau qui gagna même, grâce au critique d’art et collectionneur français Philippe Burty, le nom de « Japonisme ». Le Japonisme toutefois a été plus qu’une mode. Où les précédentes tocades orientalistes n’allaient guère plus loin que la décoration des intérieurs de bourgeois fortunés, la fascination pour le Japon…

    Botticellis Venus – Die Schönheit des Makels

    October 6, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Es gibt Dinge, die man, hat man sie erst einmal bemerkt, nie wieder aus dem Kopf bekommt. Plötzlich schaut man auf das gleiche Gemälde, das man schon seit Jahren und Jahrzehnten kennt, und es ist nicht mehr dasselbe. Sandro Botticellis Gemälde werden oft zitiert, wenn es um die ‚bellezza ideale‘ geht. Dabei ist der florentinische Künstler in Sachen Anatomie nachweislich ein regelrechter Stümper gewesen. Die Proportionen vieler seiner Figuren sind falsch und verzerrt, die Haltungen unnatürlich bis anatomisch unmöglich. Auch seine Venus, personifizierter Zauber des Weiblichen, ist reichlich missgebildet. Sieht man sich den zu langen, krummen Hals, die verrenkte und etwas zu kleine Kopfpartie oder auch die Schultern an, wird…
