    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.

    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

    June 5, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Le texte ci-dessous est l’extrait du livre L’Impressionnisme: écrit par Nathalia Brodskaïa , publié par Parkstone International. Une femme peintre était un phénomène rare au milieu du XIXe siècle et, dans le camp hostile à l’art officiel, c’était un cas exceptionnel. Berthe Morisot participa à la plupart des expositions des impressionnistes. Berthe Morisot était bien née. Sa famille, du côté paternel, était apparentée de loin à Jean- Honoré Fragonard et à l’artiste peintre Marguerite Gérard. Son père, Edmé Tiburce Morisot, occupait de hautes fonctions administratives. Berthe naquit le 14 janvier 1841 à Bourges, son père étant, à ce moment-là, préfet du Cher. La mère de Berthe, Marie-Cornélie Thomas, venait d’une…

    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…

    Scandals too risqué to be seen?

    January 11, 2018 / 1 Comment

    “Scandal – an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage.” Art it completely objective. It is to each and every viewer, something different. So aside from the cultural and political aspects of life, what is it that causes the audiences and critics to deem something scandalous? There are plenty of examples of art which has caused people to be up in arms, so that motivates these emotions in people. And why, when we accept that the visual world is objective, does it sometimes cause uproar of great proportion? When I think of a scandal, I think of something with action and consequence, there…

    Édouard Manet für Geeks: Un Bar aux Folies-Bergère als Manga

    June 1, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Wir sind es gewohnt, Gemälde anzublicken. Was bleibt uns auch übrig? Weniger gewohnt sind wir es, dass die Gemälde unseren Blick erwidern. Édouard „Don’t Call Me Monet“ Manets Kunst tut das unverhohlen. Sie stiert zurück. Meine persönliche Favoritin unter den Manet’schen Blickerwiderern ist die Frau hinter der Theke in Manets letztem großen Werk, Un Bar aux Folies-Bergère (dt. Eine Bar im Folies-Bergère, 1882). In einer japanischen Neuveröffentlichung wurde sie kürzlich  im Manga-Look wiederbelebt. Was unterscheidet das Meisterwerk von der Manga-Version? Suzon, Manets Modell, das tatsächlich im titelgebenden Varietétheater ‚Les Folies-Bergère‘ arbeitete, ist also zu einer Manga-Schönheit geworden, deren Dekolletee genretypisch nicht gerade subtil in Szene gesetzt ist… Den sexuellen Unterton…

    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…

    Hace poco tuvo lugar la feria de arte ARCO y no puedo sino sacar unas conclusiones tan subjetivas como banales, al mismo tiempo que repetidas hasta la saciedad. Vertiendo agua en el océano, vamos. En la feria se pudo ver lo que los pintores españoles contemporáneos tienen entre manos y entre cejas. Y no será por la nacionalidad de los artistas, sino más bien por lo que parece ser común a muchos creadores de hoy en día: llamar arte a tener una idea. Partamos de la base de que estoy de acuerdo con Huysmans en que las obras de arte no deben ser analizadas como novelas, buscando un argumento que…

    Raphael undoubtedly played a role in Renaissance art. One cannot think of that era without thinking of the beautiful Madonnas and little, fat cherubs done by Raphael. His talent, however, goes beyond that of painter, as he played a significant role in the development of reproductive print.  Although Raphael never produced any prints himself, he created many drawings for the sole purpose of being engraved by Marcantonio Raimondi. Together, Raphael and Raimondi created some of the most famous Italian prints of the century and gave rise to print publishing in Rome. Just as the Gutenberg Press made printed word available to the general audience, through easily and affordable reproduction, the…

    The Naked Truth

    October 31, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Art exhibits our fascinations and preoccupations- what we think about, are intrigued by, and want to look at.  Ever since the earliest cave paintings, the human body has been a constant subject in art.  We might all have one, but that doesn’t stop us from being interested in everyone else’s.  But just because it’s natural doesn’t mean there aren’t rules.  Society decided (or was it Adam and Eve?) that it just wasn’t on to go around showing off everything that God gave us.  And so the fig leaves were slapped on the sculptures, Venus’ flowing locks doubled as a convenient pair of knickers and photographers learnt the art of strategic…
