    La solitude poétique de l’homme confrontée à « l’American way of life » chez Hopper

    December 2, 2022 / 0 Comments

    Avec ses toiles aux couleurs froides, peuplées de personnages anonymes, l’œuvre d’Hopper symbolise aussi le reflet de la Grande Dépression. A travers des reproductions variées (gravures, aquarelles, huiles sur toile), l’auteur, par une analyse tant artistique que thématique, nous apporte un éclairage nouveau sur l’univers énigmatique et torturé de ce peintre majeur...

    Les Premières Années — La Formation De Georgia O’keeffe

    December 31, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Au début de l’année 1925, Stieglitz exposa les artistes encouragés à l’époque du 291. C’est au cours de cette exposition que les peintures géantes de fleurs de Georgia O’Keeffe, destinées à faire prendre conscience de la nature, furent présentées pour la première fois. Les critiques acclamèrent cette nouvelle manière de voir.

    Frühe Jahre: Die Persönlichkeit Der Georgia O’keeffe

    December 30, 2021 / 0 Comments

    Am Zeitraum zwischen Geburt und Tod der Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) streift die gesamte moderne Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten vorbei wie ein Hollywood-Film. Aus einer kleinen Stadt stammend, schafft sich Georgia O’Keeffe erst in New York einen Namen; jenes New York, das Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts Paris als Welthauptstadt der Kunst ablöst.

    Early years: The shaping of Georgia O’Keeffe

    December 28, 2021 / 0 Comments

    The legacy she left behind is a unique vision that translates the complexity of nature into simple shapes for us to explore and make our own discoveries. She taught us there is poetry in nature and beauty in geometry. Georgia O’Keeffe’s long lifetime of work shows us new ways to see the world, from her eyes to ours.

    Mr. Roboto: The Human Mechanics of Francis Picabia’s Art

    November 17, 2016 / 0 Comments

    “The machine has become more than a mere adjunct of life. It is really a part of human life…perhaps the very soul…” said the French Dada-artist Francis Picabia (1879-1952). While unbeholden to any singular artistic style, Picabia built a world out of his Transparencies and machinery or “mechanomorphs” ­­− a world that mirrors and reveals the construction of our own. Influenced by the fast-paced grind of American industry and specifically New York life in the early 20th century, Picabia paintings display the blueprint of an ascension, of our mechanical evolution over time, and the trajectory in which we still head.  They just as poignantly, if not more so, represent the…

    Mary Griggs Burke: Bringing Japanese Art to the Forefront

    October 21, 2015 / 0 Comments

    Mary Griggs Burke is not a name many have heard of but when she passed away in 2012, there were many mournful faces, specifically from those in the art world. Recognised as having the largest private collection of Japanese art outside of Japan, Griggs Burke had quite an impact on the emergence of Asian art in the United States. “The beauty of the Japanese aesthetic first struck me when I saw my mother’s kimono, a padded winter garment of black silk displaying at the knee a bold design of twisted pine branches covered with snow.[…] It was then, I believe, that a future collector of Japanese art was born.” Due…

    Premier voyage à Rome ; choc. Les murs de la cité antique recouverts de tags, d’inscriptions incompréhensibles. Les immeubles, les boîtes aux lettres, les panneaux de signalisation. Les bus, les trains, rien ne semblait pouvoir échapper aux  taggeurs. Je venais pour découvrir le Forum romain, le Colisée. En marchant dans les ruelles, ou bien le long du Tibre, je découvrais le street art… à l’italienne. Trois ans plus tard, premier  voyage à Berlin. Le choc a laissé place à l’émerveillement. Dans la partie Est de la ville, je découvre un monde nouveau, un monde « souterrain ». Non loin de la fameuse East Side Gallery, des usines désaffectées, des hôpitaux abandonnés et autres…

    Aussi simple qu’un Mondrian

    January 7, 2015 / 0 Comments

    « Franchement, même moi, je pourrais l’avoir peint. – Et tu l’as peint ? – Bah non… – Alors tais-toi. » Voilà le genre de conversations que l’on peut avoir ou entendre lorsqu’on s’approche d’un tableau « typique » de Mondrian (ceux avec beaucoup de blanc, des lignes noires et des aplats de couleurs). Bizarrement, son abstraction n’est pas de celle qui prend le néophyte ou le non-croyant aux tripes, qui l’emmène au-delà de ses limites figuratives et le transcende. Non, l’abstraction de Mondrian a plutôt l’air d’ennuyer les gens. Il faut dire qu’il en a peint des lignes noires sur fond blanc avec aplats de bleu, rouge ou jaune. À tel…

    Filth for Filth’s Sake

    March 18, 2014 / 0 Comments

    It is not the mission of art to wallow in filth for filth’s sake, to paint the human being only in a state of putrefaction, to draw cretins as symbols of motherhood, or to present deformed idiots as representatives of manly strength. So declared Adolf Hitler in 1935, leaving no uncertainty over his views on much of modern art. Many German and Austrian artists at the time were trying to express their own views of the world and their anger and despair towards society following the horrors of the First World War, yet Hitler saw only intolerable statements undermining his vision of a perfect German society. In 1937, the Degenerate…

    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…
