    Michelangelo – Die Qual und Ekstase eines Genies

    August 11, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Der untenstehende Text ist ein Auszug aus dem Buch Michelangelo von Eugène Müntz , herausgegeben von Parkstone International. Michelangelo verkörpert mit seiner universellen Begabung den typischen Renaissancemenschen und überragt alle anderen Künstler des Cinquecento. Er wurde in eine Zeit hineingeboren, die es seinem Genie erlaubte, sich ungehemmt zu entfalten. Dennoch dürfen wir seine Vorgänger nicht vergessen, die ihm in vielerlei Hinsicht den Weg geebnet haben. Von eher düsterem Charakter und mit einem Hang zum Einzelgängertum widmete er all seine Energien seiner Kunst. Er war ein sehr frommer und spirituellen Dingen zugeneigter Mann, dessen geistige Haltung von Savonarola beeinflusst war. Das Jüngste Gericht zeigt die Qualen des Künstlers an seinem Lebensabend. Seine zahlreichen Darstellungen nackter…

    Dalí, der Göttliche

    October 13, 2014 / 1 Comment

    „Ich glaube an Gott, aber ich habe keinen Glauben“, so ambivalent dieser Satz erscheinen mag, so treffend past er doch zu Salvador Dalís Einstellung gegenüber dem Allmächtigen und Religion. Durch seine Kindheit geprägt – die Familie seiner Mutter war zutiefst vom katholischen Glauben überzeugt, während sein Vater atheistisch erzogen worden war – sollte sich der Surrealist sein Leben lang mit dem Thema Glaube / Nichtglaube auseinandersetzen. In seiner Jugend und seinen frühen Jahren als Künstler eiferte er dem Vater nach, verachtete Reglion, und seine Bilder beinhalten durchaus blasphemische Ansätze, die Empörung und scharfe Kritik hervorriefen. Jedoch in den 1940er Jahren, als um die 40-jähriger, etablierter Künstler, kehrte er zum Katholizismus…

    No Room in Hollywood

    October 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    There is no doubt that Hollywood dominates the global film industry. Occasionally, popular films from other countries gain international notoriety like the French film Amélie or the Swedish film Let the Right One In, but those are rare instances. While the United States dominates the film industry, the rest of the world, mainly Europe, dominates in art. The U.S. does have renowned artists but not as renowned as Europe.  Even as an American, I find it difficult to name fellow artistic countrymen, but I can easily rattle off several European artists. Edward Hopper, painter of the Nighthawks, is a celebrated American painter, but his international repute is an iota of…

    Mastering Monochrome

    April 2, 2013 / 0 Comments

    The saying goes that “it” (the world/life/politics/beliefs/love and so on and so forth) is not black and white. But what if it was? Surely life would be a lot easier. Rules and expectations would be clear-cut and to the point. If the choice of colour was not an option, all decisions would be a lot easier, right? If we look at old films, photographs, TV, and documentaries which were shot in black and white, we hark back to what appears to be a graceful and elegant world. Simple, classy, well-organised and put together: even the music that accompanies the films/TV shows/documentaries evokes a simpler and more innocent time. I know…

    Diamonds in the Rough

    February 8, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Arabian nights, like Arabian days, more often than not are hotter than hot in a lot of good ways. The Arab culture has gone from gross underrepresentation in television, art, and film to an intense misrepresentation over the past twenty years or so. While film directors and screen writers are helping the media plague the minds of the public about the Middle East, it’s far less often that I experience outward hatefulness from the group of people whom are relentlessly demonised as threatening, violent, and dangerous. Children are brought up with quirky yet adorable “street-rat” Aladdin, who steals to eat and falls in love well outside of his league. We’re…

A priori pas grand chose, et pourtant… : Villon Pape des artistes maudits, assassin à ses heures et poète-bagarreur, Pasolini filmant la chair avec délices et tué sur une plage, Courier le séducteur-soldat, brillant helléniste et assassin assassiné et enfin Le Caravage, enfant-maudit de l’Histoire de l’art, mort d’épuisement et peintre de la chair et du désir… Vous l’aurez compris, la subversion est ici le maître-mot.

    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…
