    Le Rococo

    February 25, 2022 / 0 Comments

    En associant le mot rocaille, référence aux formes alambiquées des coquillages, à l’italien baroco, les Français donnèrent naissance au terme de « rococo ». Apparu au début du XVIIIe siècle, il s’étendit rapidement à l’ensemble de l’Europe.

    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.

    Petites Filles – Quelques belles photos du livre

    June 4, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Depuis que les Grecs anciens ont sculpté le premier kouros, les enfants ont été une source d'inspiration pour certains des plus grands artistes du monde. Qu'il s'agisse de portraits de leurs propres enfants, d'amis ou de membres de leur famille, ou d'une représentation psychologique nostalgique de la jeunesse de l'artiste, les représentations d'enfants dans l'art restent des exemples saisissants de l'intersection entre l'innocence pittoresque de l'enfance et le travail méthodique de l'art adulte. Dans ce délicieux livre, les enfants ont la possibilité de voir des petits garçons et des petites filles qui leur ressemblent, tels qu'ils sont dépeints par de grands artistes. Ils découvrent ainsi comment les enfants ont grandi…

    Kleine Mädchen – Ein paar schöne Bilder zum Buch

    June 3, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Seit die alten Griechen die ersten Kouroi schufen, inspirierten Kinder einige der größten Künstler der Welt. Ob Porträts von ihren eigenen Kindern, Freunden oder Familienmitgliedern, oder als nostalgische psychologische Studie der eigenen Kindheit, Darstellungen von Kindern in der Kunst bleiben eindrucksvolle Beispiele für den Schnittpunkt zwischen der malerischen Unschuld der Kindheit und der methodischen Arbeit des erwachsenen Künstlers. In diesem neuen Puzzle-Buch bekommen Kinder die Gelegenheit, kleine Jungen und Mädchen wie sie selbst, von großen Künstlern dargestellt, zu sehen und dabei zu erfahren, wie Kinder im Laufe der Geschichte aufwuchsen, und gleichzeitig eine Verbindung zur Welt der Kunst zu entwickeln.

    Little Girls – A few beautiful pictures of the book

    June 1, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Ever since the ancient Greeks sculpted the first kouros, children have been a source of inspiration for some of the world’s greatest artists. Whether portraits of their own children, friends, and family members, or a nostalgic psychological portrayal of the artist’s own youth, depictions of children in art remain arresting examples of an intersection between the picturesque innocence of childhood and the methodical work of adult artistry. In this delightful new puzzle book, children get a chance to see little boys and girls just like them as portrayed by great artists, learning about how children grew up throughout history while experiencing a genuine connection with works of artistic genius.

    Art at your fingertips

    April 12, 2014 / 4 Comments

    Moving from painting to painting, I counted the steps I needed to make before reaching the exit. Slower, I thought, don’t walk so quickly. And so I stopped at the painting before me, cocked my head, and pretended to absorb the beauty. Art had never been easy to understand. Imagery, history, and emotion compressed onto a canvas, expressed only though colors and strokes. Yet I found myself visiting a museum with two art enthusiasts, who, every few minutes, would proudly shriek “Oh how I love this painting!” and gush over the skillful technique and the elegant brushstrokes. As people shuffled around me, admiring one painting after another, I absentmindedly marched…

    Brauchen wir heutzutage eigentlich noch die Porträtkunst, wo doch eigentlich jeder eine oder sogar mehrere Digitalkameras besitzt? Und wo doch jeder, der seine Kamera mal zu Hause vergessen hat, unterwegs Schnappschüsse mit seiner Handykamera machen kann? Was unterscheidet die Fotografie und die Porträtmalerei? Und wer nutzt diese heute noch? Das Fotografieren gehört heute zum Alltag. Fotografiert wird alles und jeder: die Geburtstagsfeier mit Freunden, die Geburtstagspost, die Geschenke, der Hund der Gastgeberin, die einzelnen Schritte vom Teig zum fertigen Schokoladenkuchen – alles, einfach alles wird klitzeklein dokumentiert und stolz bei Facebook oder anderen sozialen Netzwerken der Welt präsentiert. Die persönlichen Informationen, die Anzahl der Freunde und die von Freunden geposteten…

    The Face that Launched a Thousand Ships

    January 8, 2013 / 0 Comments

    It was Christopher Marlowe who coined the infamous line regarding Helen of Troy; ‘the face that launched a thousand ships’. I have to say, I do feel sorry for Helen! Put in a position where she was, effectively, responsible for a ten-year war, loss of lives, and the sacking of a city. I ask: was it even her choice to leave Menelaus? Sure, the story goes that she and Paris fell in love and escaped Sparta and her husband by fleeing to Troy. But, really, what if this wasn’t the true story? What if she was actually in love with Menelaus, and was just kidnapped by Paris? Admittedly, if Paris…

    Can (and should) life truly imitate Art?

    January 3, 2013 / 5 Comments

    At first glance I thought this exhibition was about something else entirely – bodies covered in tattoos (to which I am entirely approving). But now that I am well informed, I’ve got some things to say. Are photographs art? Sure, sometimes, certainly not all the time, just have a look at my memory card. But are they Art, capital A, meant to be scrutinised, reviewed, and studied for centuries to come? I’m not so sure. Painting is an expression of one’s mind, heart, and imagination. The colours we interpret, the way things make us feel, whatever happens to be going through our heads at a particular moment in time. Paintings…
