    Die Rokoko-Kunst

    February 24, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Das Wort Rokoko leitet sich wahrscheinlich von dem vermutlich in französischen Emigrantenkreisen aufgekommenen Wort "rocaille" (Muschel) ab. Diese Kunstrichtung entwickelte sich zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts und breitete sich schnell in ganz Europa aus.

    Rococo

    February 22, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Deriving from the French word rocaille, in reference to the curved forms of shellfish, and the Italian barocco, the French created the term ‘Rococo’. Appearing at the beginning of the 18th century, it rapidly spread to the whole of Europe. Extravagant and light, Rococo responded perfectly to the spontaneity of the aristocracy of the time. In many aspects, this art was linked to its predecessor, Baroque, and it is thus also referred to as late Baroque style.

    Die Pop Art Tradition – Die antwort auf die Massenkultur

    September 16, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Dieses Buch bietet eine völlig neue Sicht auf die in den 1950er Jahren aufgekommene so genannte “Pop Art”. Der zentrale Ansatz dieses Buches weitet die schon immer die Verhältnisse eher verdunkelnde als erhellende Bezeichnung des Terminus “Pop Art” aus und befasst sich mit der die Massenkultur thematisierenden Kunst.

    The Pop Art Tradition – Responding to Mass-Culture

    September 14, 2021 / 0 Comments

    This book offers a radically new perspective on the so-called ‘Pop Art’ creative dynamic that has been around since the 1950s. It does so by enhancing the term ‘Pop Art’ which has always been recognised as a misnomer, for it obscures far more than it clarifies. Instead, the book connects all the art in question to mass-culture which has always provided its core inspiration.

    Die Englische Malerei

    May 22, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem Die Englische Malerei von Vincent A. Smith, herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Gibt es überhaupt eine englische Schule der Malerei? Streng genommen passt das Wort ıSchule„ nur in sehr unvollkommener Weise zur Geschichte der englischen Malerei. Generell wird diese Vokabel verwendet, um eine Gesamtheit von Vorgehen und Traditionen, eine bestimmte Methode, einen charakteristischen Stil im Design und einen ebenso eigenständigen Geschmack in der Farbgebung zu bezeichnen – dies alles trägt zur Darstellung eines in den Köpfen der Künstler eines Landes zur gleichen Zeit bestehenden nationalen Ideals bei. In diesem Sinne spricht man von der Flämischen Schule, der Niederländischen Schule, der Spanischen Schule, von mehreren italienischen Schulen…

    English Painting

    May 15, 2020 / 0 Comments

    The text below is the excerpt from the book English Painting, written by Ernest Chesneau , published by Parkstone International. Is there an English school of painting at all? Strictly speaking, the word school applies only in a very imperfect manner to the growth of painting in England. Generally it is used to designate a special collection of traditions and processes, a particular method, a peculiar style in design, and an equally peculiar taste in colouring – all contributing to the representation of a national ideal existing in the minds of the artists of the same country at the same time. In this sense, we speak of the Flemish school, the Dutch school, the…

    Happy Belated 14 July! Bastille Day AND National Nude Day!

    July 16, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Did you know that for many people, July 14th marks a very special day in the calendar? Of course, yes, Bastille Day falls on that day – auspicious event, revolution, storming of the Bastille: paving the way for Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette’s final meeting with the guillotine – however, that is not the event that I am referring to. In addition to La Fête Nationale, nudists the world over celebrate the lesser known, or at least lesser-publicised – National Nude Day. Whilst readers in England may not have been aware of this day, our friends on the other side of the pond certainly had their fill of ‘Nude’-related headlines.…
