    Kleine Würfel – Große Kunst

    November 13, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Kunst muss nicht gegenständlich sein, weder Figuren noch eindeutige Motive haben und erst recht nicht auf den ersten Blick zu durchschauen sein, aber oft wünscht sich genau dies der Besucher beim Betrachten von Kunstwerken. Daher geht er an Werke mit abstrahierten Motiven, die ihm vor allem Rätsel aufgeben, skeptisch und mit Vorbehalten heran. Allerdings hat die moderne kunstgeschichtliche Entwicklung gezeigt, dass es möglich ist, blaue Kreise und schwarze Quadrate oder auch nur weiße Leinwände zu bedeutenden Meisterwerken zu erheben – doch dies war nicht immer so. Am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts schockierten zwei Künstler die Pariser Öffentlichkeit mit kleinen Würfeln und geometrischen Formen, mit deren Hilfe sie Formen und Figuren…

    L’Uragano russo

    November 4, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Potrei dire che la musica dell’Uccello di fuoco di Stravinsky fece il mio primo approdo con i Balletti Russi di Diaghilev. La mia mamma me l’aveva fatta ascoltare quando ero piccola. Il Balletti Russi sono stati une revoluzione, una palla di cannone venuta dall’est, che cambiò il campo della danza per sempre all’inizio del ventessimo secolo. Basta i costumi lunghi, classici, la danza frontale. Fondati in 1909, i Balletti Russi rappresentavano un esempio di creatività ottimo, mescolando moda, arte contemporaneo, musica e danza. Lo scopo di Diaghilev era di fare conoscere l’arte russa in Occidente. Ci è riuscito accircondato dai più grandi pittori, compositori o ballerini. Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Bakst,…

    Quand Vallotton s’en va-t-en guerre.

    Vallotton le Nabi étranger, Vallotton le graveur, Vallotton le portraitiste, Vallotton le peintre de paysage, Vallotton peintre postimpressionniste, Vallotton peintre de la modernité artistique… À l’encontre des fondements mêmes de l’histoire de l’art et de ses principes méthodologiques, il est impossible de classer Félix Vallotton définitivement dans une catégorie. Il suffit de comparer ces deux toiles pour le comprendre :

    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…

    Cats: like Marmite, Kanye West and reality TV they tend to polarise opinions. To detractors they’re cold, calculating, sinister beings who use humans for food and attention. To cat lovers, the very traits that irk the haters – their cool countenance, air of superiority and unwillingness to be stroked if not in the mood – are all signs of character, which opposes the dogged subservience of their canine rivals (to the cat lover, dogs are just a little too…eager to please). And perhaps this is why so many artists seem to be in league with moggies (especially 20th Century artists for some reason). You only need type in artists and…

    Liebe ist…

    May 31, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Einerseits ein tief verankertes, menschliches Grundbedürfnis, das uns alle vereint,und andererseits eines der wohl rätselhaftesten und unerklärlichsten Phänomene im Universum. Die Auffassungen darüber, was wir unter Liebe verstehen dürfen, könnten kaum weiter auseinander gehen. Dies mag nicht zuletzt an den vielfältigen Ausprägungen liegen, in denen uns diese auf geistiger, körperlicherund seelischer Anziehung beruhende Emotion begegnet. Denn die Annahme, dass sich Liebe allein auf zwischenmenschliche Gefühlsbeziehungen beschränkt, ist weit gefehlt. Das Spektrum an potentiellen Adressaten für den Überschuss an persönlicher Zuneigung ist schier unbegrenzt. Wussten Sie beispielsweise, dass Agalmatophilie als wissenschaftlicher Fachbegriff die starke Affinität und sexuelle Anziehung zu (überwiegend nackten) Statuen bezeichnet? Oder dass auch die Liebe zu Teddybären, die…

    Chicago and Picasso

    March 7, 2013 / 1 Comment

    I have to admit, I’ve had a bit of a crush on Chicago for a long time. Not because it’s cold or windy, or for any of its sports teams. I’m not a fan of deep dish pizza; hot dogs gross me out for the most part. Al Capone is pretty big to speak of, I suppose, but mob ‘outfits’ strike me as excessive and silly. One positive note thus far: I’ve heard amazing things about O’Hare International. Oh, and since the Chicago Fire of 1871, the city rightfully boasts superior urban planning. So what is it that has me perpetually itching to check out this mid-western city for an…

    The life of Marc Chagall was not an easy one. Nor was it uneventful. It was however, filled with enough drama to delight even the most seasoned and skeptical of Hollywood producers. He perceived the events of World War 1 from afar, saw the hopes and disappointments of the Russian Revolution, barely escaped the onslaught of World War 2, was revered for his artistic prowess, admired by Picasso, and left behind a rich artistic legacy. In effect, Chagall’s life and success was the result of many fortuitous encounters… the first one primarily being the encounter with art at school, which led to his illustrious career path. A meeting later in…

    Vorhang auf für die Expressionisten im Käfig der wilden Bestien

    December 6, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Die Versteigerung dauerte gerade mal 12 Minuten, dann stand im Mai 2012 beim New Yorker Auktionshaus Sotheby’s die neue Rekordsumme fest: 91,033,826 Millionen Euro (107 Millionen Dollar zuzüglich des Zuschlags für das Auktionshaus) für den letzten sich bis dato in Privatbesitz befindlichen Schrei von Edvard Munch (1863-1944). 70 Jahre lang befand sich das Werk im Privatbesitz der Olsen Familie. Thomas Olsen, ein Nachbar Munchs und Nachkomme der großen norwegischen Reederei-Dynastie, war nicht nur ein Freund, sondern auch einer der größten Förderer des Künstlers. Damit ist das 1895 gemalte Pastell das teuerste je versteigerte Kunstwerk der Welt und verdrängte den bisherigen Rekordhalter, das im Jahr 2010 für 106,5 Millionen Dollar im…
