Ein Verführer und die Liebe
Pablo Picasso, ein unermütlich arbeitender Künstler des letzten Jahrhunderts, der Zeit seines Lebens immer wieder neue Quellen der Inspiration suchte, die er oft aus der frisch erblühenden Liebe zu einer Frau zog. Seine zahlreichen Frauen waren Musen für ihn, um immer wieder neue, vielfältige und faszinierende Kunstwerke zu erschaffen. So griff der Charmeur im Verlauf seiner künstlerischen Karriere unter anderem immer wieder ähnliche Sujets aus den Bereichen Liebe, Liebespaare und erotisches Zusammensein in seinen Bildern auf. Seine Kunstwerke können als Tagebücher seines täglichen Lebens und vor allem seines seelischen und emotionalen Zustands verstanden werden, in denen er sein Verhältnis zu seinen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen offenbarte und reflektierte. Von daher zeigt sein…

The Hidden Beauty of Cubism
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who said: “Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.” However, there are many forms and styles of accepted ‘art’ which do not conform to conventional definitions of beauty. Take Cubism as an example. Many art enthusiasts, whilst acknowledging that the likes of Pablo Picasso and George Braque are masters of their craft, are confounded by Cubism. Abstract art may have this effect in the general sense, but there is something about Cubism which perplexes and befuddles the viewer.

The photograph not only shocked the religious communities who were offended by the desecration of a holy symbol, Serrano’s work also forced even the most open-minded to ask, “Is this art?” A quick Google search of the definition of art yields this: “The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual…

Mastering Monochrome
The saying goes that “it” (the world/life/politics/beliefs/love and so on and so forth) is not black and white. But what if it was? Surely life would be a lot easier. Rules and expectations would be clear-cut and to the point. If the choice of colour was not an option, all decisions would be a lot easier, right? If we look at old films, photographs, TV, and documentaries which were shot in black and white, we hark back to what appears to be a graceful and elegant world. Simple, classy, well-organised and put together: even the music that accompanies the films/TV shows/documentaries evokes a simpler and more innocent time. I know…

Picasso para niños
¿Quién no ha dicho, u oído, alguna vez eso de que las obras de arte contemporáneas las puede hacer hasta un niño de tres años? Algo parecido es lo que sucedió en la primera exposición internacional de arte moderno que tuvo lugar en EE.UU. en 1913. Conocida hoy en día como The Armory Show, ya que el primer lugar donde fue expuesta era una armería de Nueva York, esta exposición viajó por tres ciudades estadounidenses, la mencionada Nueva York, Chicago y Boston, presentando el nuevo lenguaje visual europeo al público norteamericano. La más recordada de estas exposiciones es la que tuvo lugar en el Instituto de Arte de Chicago, y…
