  • Le Mariage de la Vierge, Luca Giordano, vers 1688, Portraits de Vierges, Klaus Carl
    Français

    Portraits de Vierges

    April 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    L’art a été profondément marqué par la figure de la Vierge Marie, le symbole de la maternité, rayonnante de jeunesse, de tendresse et de compassion depuis deux mille ans. Les œuvres d’art constituent des commentaires visuels, à la fois sur l’évolution de l’art occidental et sur celle de l’image de la femme dans la société.

    April 27, 2021 / 0 Comments

    During the Renaissance, Italian painters would traditionally depict the wives of their patrons as Madonnas, often rendering them more beautiful than they actually were. Over centuries in religious paintings, the Madonna has been presented as the clement and protective mother of God. However, with the passing of time, Mary gradually lost some of her spiritual characteristics and became more mortal and accessible to human sentiments.

    “Who knows how to make love stay?”*

    April 18, 2013 / 1 Comment

    You’re tired. You want to go home and sleep off this week of relentless deadlines, but your friends insist that dancing will be much more effective. You go, you dance, you laugh, you still think about your pillows. There, across the room, their eyes catch yours and smiles slowly spread across your faces. You’ve never met before, but surely something so familiar couldn’t be imagined. You talk, you feel shy, you feel emboldened; you exchange phone numbers. You fall asleep before your head hits the pillow, but they left a smile on your lips. You date. You have the important things in common

    «Tienes ya edad, Jo, de dejar trucos de muchachos y conducirte mejor». Esto le decía la mayor de las hermanas March a Josephine, caracterizada por su aire masculino y su fuerte carácter. Mujercitas, el clásico de Louisa May Alcott que narra la evolución personal de cuatro jóvenes en los años de la Guerra de Secesión estadounidense, fue sin duda una revolución en la literatura estadounidense del siglo XIX y una de las lecturas favoritas de muchas niñas –y no tantos niños– de todo el mundo, incluidas la que escribe y Rachel, de Friends. Ahora bien, ¿en qué sentido fue transgresora esta novela para niñas —por desafortunada y «decimonónica» que resulte…

    Shoes and Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend

    February 1, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Schuhe sind doch eigentlich dafür da, dass wir nicht barfuß laufen müssen, sie dienen als Schutz unserer Füße vor scharfen Gegenständen, vor Nässe und Kälte. Wären das die einzigen Gründe, würde ein Paar Schuhe eigentlich ausreichen, wir könnten diese tragen, bis sie auseinanderfallen und dann ein neues Paar kaufen. Ja, rein theoretisch wäre das natürlich möglich, im realen Leben jedoch sind Schuhe mehr als nur ein Gegenstand des Alltags. Ich meine, die Rede ist von SCHUHEN — wenn man dem in der Broadway-Produktion Prefer Blondes (Blondinen bevorzugt) 1949 uraufgeführten Songtitel Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend Glauben schenkt, so gehören nach den Diamanten Schuhe auf jedem Fall dem nächstengeren Freundeskreis…

    “Give a Girl the Right Shoes, and She Can Conquer the World.”

    January 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    –          Marilyn Monroe* Shoes! Glorious Shoes! (If I may be as bold as to twist Oliver’s words a little…) As nearly every teenage girl and woman will tell you, shoes are fantastically important. Mainly, because they’re just fantastic. But think about it, the love of a good or pretty shoe (the best combine beauty and comfort) is reflected throughout history. For the purposes of this blog, history includes fairytales… Where would Cinderella be without her glass slipper? Where would Puss be without his boots? Hermes would have been a great deal less effective as a messenger god without his winged sandals. And the Old woman who lived in a shoe?…

    Und das ist also Kunst? Will Grohmann im Netzwerk der Moderne

    November 27, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Der deutsche Kunsthistoriker Will Grohmann (1887-1968) ist ein großer Name in der Kunstgeschichte: er gilt als einer der einflussreichsten deutschen Kunsthistoriker und -kritiker des 20. Jahrhunderts – und gerade in diesem Jahrhundert gab es viel zu tun. Den Begriff ‚Kunst‘ in Worte zu fassen oder gar eine einheitliche Definition für Kunst zu finden, bereitet nicht nur den Kunsthistorikern seit jeher Kopfzerbrechen. Die um den Begriff ‚Kunst‘ gezogene Grenze wurde im Laufe der Geschichte stetig ausgedehnt und neu gesteckt. Grob zusammengefasst, diente Kunst zunächst als Ausdrucksmittel kultischer, mythischer und religiöser Erzählungen (Antike und Mittelalter). Die niederländischen Genredarstellungen bewiesen dann, dass Kunst nicht nur christliche und historische Sujets darzustellen vermag, sondern zugleich…

    Everyone is an artist in some way or another, wouldn’t you agree? Whether it’s with words on a page, musical stylings, in the kitchen, or paint/pencil/chalk on a board/canvas – everyone has their own unique way of expressing themselves. Many of us do it in the privacy of our own homes, never daring to show it to anyone for fear of rejection, being misunderstood, or simply not caring that the rest of the world learn to value our talent. “My momma thinks I’m special and that’s enough for me.” If you were, however, to venture out of your comfort zone and introduce your talent to the world, wouldn’t it be…

    If it ain’t Baroque, fix it!

    November 13, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Bear with me here. The Baroque movement is a combination of beauty and grotesque; high drama with intense focus on every element. It started under the influence of the Roman Catholic Church in Italy during the 1600s. A century later, during the late 1720s in France, Rococo was invented – was this a backhanded attempt at a war between the Romance languages and arts? Meant to create imagery for those unable to read, Baroque set out to be a symbol of unity among the masses. In light of the most recent events in the US, a country that claims to want unity while ceaselessly coming up short, I can’t help…
