    Kunst und Homosexualität mag wie eine merkwürdige Kombination wirken. Beide Phänomene sind, seit es eine Überlieferung gibt, jedoch Teil der Geschichte der Menschheit.

    Mantegna und das Konzept der totalen Illusion

    March 26, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Ausstellung: Mantegna and Bellini Datum: 21. März – 1. Juli 2018 Museum: Fondazione Querini Stampalia | Venice, Italy Die Kunst von Andrea Mantegna (ca.1431 bis 1506) hat sich über lange Zeit einen großen Reiz bewahrt. Von dem eindrucksvollen Illusionismus seiner frühesten Werke bis hin zu der narrativen Kraft seiner reifen Bilder blieb Mantegnas Kunst dramatisch, heroisch, lebendig und emotional. Seine Bilder weisen einen beeindruckenden Detailreichtum auf: Adern und Haare, Kiesel und Grashalme sind mit unglaublicher Sorgfalt wiedergegeben. Selbst in seinen größten narrativen Bildern bildete er die profanen Einzelheiten der irdischen Existenz ab und zeigte zum Trocknen aufgehängte Wäsche und zerfallende Gebäude. Mantegna interessierte sich zudem nicht nur für die menschliche…

    Mantegna and the Concept of Total Illusion

    March 26, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Exhibition: Mantegna and Bellini Date: March 21 – July 1, 2018 Venue: Fondazione Querini Stampalia | Venice, Italy The art of Andrea Mantegna (born c.1431, died 1506) has long maintained a broad and deep appeal. From the impressive illusionism of his earliest works to the narrative power of his mature paintings, Mantegna’s art remained vivid and heroic, dramatic and emotional. They are also painted in stunning detail: pebbles, blades of grass, veins, and hair are rendered with excruciating care, and he depicted even in his great narrative works the mundane particulars of earthly existence, showing laundry hanging out to dry and buildings fallen into disrepair. He had a deep interest…

    Shelley’s Art Musing – “Cover up that bosom, which I can’t endure to look on”. (Tartuffe, Molière)

    December 28, 2017 / 0 Comments

    The Egon Schiele. The anniversary show is due to start in February 2018 with exhibits in Vienna, London, Hamburg and Cologne. It will display the main aspects of his work and his shunning of traditional art practices of his time, break taboos and exploring spirituality through his expressionist form. If you are unaware of Schiele’s work, he was an Austrian artist working in the early part of the 1900’s.  His work is recognised for its raw intensity and sexuality.  He produced many self portraits, some of which were nudes.  The subjects of his work drawn with twisted body shapes and a unique line which made his work an early contender…

    Shelley’s Art Musings – The Follies of the ‘Sand’ Louvre, which acquired the Leonardo da Vinci painting at $450 million

    December 15, 2017 / 1 Comment

    It has been just under a month since we have seen the doors of the Louvre Abu Dhabi open with its fantastic structure, but the reception has been not quite so impressive. Visitors have remarked that there doesn’t seem to be enough content within the corridors of the venture to fulfil its monumental name.  I am sure that this comes as quite a blow as the mammoth project has been fraught with controversy and delays.  Throughout the build, concerns of the welfare of the migrant workers plagued its progress. They have left a bitter taste in the mouth of the museum, which is supposedly encompassing a “universal” approach to all…

    On feeding my sole obsession

    November 27, 2015 / 2 Comments

    As a kid in suburban Ohio, I grew up thinking that high heels represented adult sophistication and feminine glamour. Against my mother’s wishes, I was wearing them to school by early 2000’s. Similarly to Cher in “Clueless,” I would totter the corridors between periods in platform wedges and lace-up heels. At that point, I was experimenting with turtle necks and studded skirts—so I can’t really speak to exactly who I was trying to impress or why these were my chosen fashion statements, as much as I knew I wanted feel a little more grown-up. Whether it is two inches or five, every woman[i] has a right to a kick ass…

    Kunst für zwischendurch

    April 14, 2014 / 2 Comments

    Man kennt das: man sitzt in einem Flugzeug, der Start verzögert sich und die Langeweile ist bereits mit Händen zu greifen. Man müsste eigentlich dringend zu einem Termin oder erwartet einfach nur sehnlichst den wohlverdienten Urlaub, doch der Pilot gibt nur eine Hinhaltenachricht nach der anderen durch. Hebt man dann endlich ab, wird es aber auch nicht besser. Die typischen Beschäftigungen während eines Fluges – nur halb die schon tausend mal gehörten Sicherheitsanweisungen verfolgen, einen kurzen Blick in die in den Vordersitz geklemmten Hefte werfen, die überteuerten Verkaufsangebote so gut es geht ignorieren und das kaum zu erschmeckende Essen genießen – werden so oft zu den spannendsten Momenten eines Langstreckenfluges.…

    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…

    „So viele Länder, so wenig Zeit!“ Auch Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) trug scheinbar jenes Virus in sich, das alljährlich – spätestens zu Beginn der Sommermonate – breitenwirksam um sich greift und dabei ganze Stadtbezirkeleer zu fegen scheint: das gemeine“febris itineris“, besser auch als „Reisefieber“ bekannt. Bricht wegen des Hitzestaus im Büro unter den Kollegen ein erbitterter Kampf um den Platz am Ventilator aus? Und bleibt betriebsurlaubsbedingtnicht einmal mehr der Lieblingsbiergarten als Fluchtmöglichkeit? Spätestens dann ist es wohl an der Zeit, die Koffer zu packen und die Reise in Richtung Süden anzutreten. Doch nur allzu oft ist es ein langer, mühsamer Weg, bevor der erste wohlverdiente Sommercocktail am bevorzugten Sandstrand genossen werden…

    Midlife-Crisis

    February 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Nicht einmal die Wechseljahre sind den Männern als rein weibliches Phänomen heilig. Die Midlife-Crisis, mittlerweile auch in Studien belegt, ist das männliche Pendant zu den Wechseljahren und der Menopause. Zwischen dem 40. und 55. Lebensjahr kann es passieren, dass er den sicheren Job an den Nagel hängt, um sich noch einmal selbst zu verwirklichen. Yogakurse und die jüngere Geliebte gehören ebenso zum neuen Alltag wie das Motorrad in der Garage, die neue Lederjacke oder die Haartönung. Auch geht er jetzt wieder drei Mal die Woche joggen, trifft sich neuerdings auch unter der Woche wieder mit Freunden und versucht am Wochenende die Nacht zum Tag zu machen. Alles nur, um sein…
