    Cy Twombly: Seeschlacht mit dem Wachsmalstift

    April 27, 2016 / 0 Comments

    Hubert Looser ist ein Name, der sicher nur Experten bekannt ist, wie im Übrigen auch die Namen eines Großteils der einflussreichen Künstler, deren Werke der Schweizer seit den 1960er Jahren sammelt. Picasso, Matisse,Warhol und Jasper Johns, na gut, aber dann wird die Luft selbst für den geneigten Kunstfreund schon dünn. Arshile Gorky? Lucio Fontana? Nehmen wir also die am 29. April beginnende Ausstellung ausgewählter Werke aus Hubert Loosers Kunstsammlung im Essener Museum Folkwang zum Anlass, einen jener weltberühmten und doch der Welt weitestgehend unbekannten Künstler aus besagter Sammlung vorzustellen: Cy Twombly, 1928-2011, Amerikaner, Abstrakter Expressionismus. Cy Twombly bediente sich in seinen Werken mit Vorliebe in der Kunst- und Menschheitsgeschichte. Ein…

    The Darker Side of Mark Rothko

    September 21, 2015 / 1 Comment

    More than 50 years after Russian-born Mark Rothko was commissioned to create mural canvases for the nondenominational Rothko Chapel, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston is set to display the largest exhibition of his works since the late 90’s. Not too long before the chapel opened its doors, its artist took his life in a heartbreaking tradition seen by many artists like himself; self-annalistic and continually misunderstood (overdose of pills and razor blade to the wrists). Depressing? So was the last period of his work, marked by his twenty-five painting series: Black on Gray, a desolation of canvases choked by a white border, leaving the viewer acutely aware of…

    Instantanés de l’Amérique.

    December 2, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Pour lutter contre les effets de la grande dépression des années 30, le gouvernement Roosevelt a mis en place le New Deal. Ce projet avait pour but de protéger et d’encourager au mieux les couches les plus pauvres de la population. Bien entendu, les artistes et les arts-visuels ont également fait l’objet d’un projet de stimulation économique avec le Federal Arts Projects développé par l’agence Work Projects Administration. Le F.A.P est à l’origine de plus de 100.000 œuvres, peintures, fresques, dessins ou encore affiches, réalisées par plus de 100 artistes entre 1935 et 1943 et constitue pratiquement la seule production artistique de cette période. Ce contexte de crise, mais aussi…

    Art Under Attack

    November 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Art incites great passion. Individual artworks are adored and people become devoted to particular artists. On the flip-side, however, this strength of feeling can equally well be a negative one- many pieces of art are passionately hated. This hatred and anger often prompts the destruction of artworks, in protest at what they represent.  When a leader is overthrown, we often see news footage of their statues being toppled.  In 1776, George Washington’s troops actually used a statue of King George III as a weapon- melting the lead to make thousands of bullets to fire at the British.  In a more personal protest, in the 1600s Royalist Prince Frederick Duleep Singh,…
