    I’m not crazy; my mother had me tested.

    May 30, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Arguably, most forms of art worth lengthy discussion have a bit of madness behind them, whether it is a painting, film, or novel. Personally, I find that my creative work suffers a bit when everything in my life feels completely balanced. Think about the mental states of various actors, painters, and authors. Off of the top of my head, I can come up with Tilda Swinson, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, Hemingway, Tolstoy, Poe, Wolfe, Caravaggio, (cough) Hitler… I could list tons and tons, but I’d much rather hear from you. But madness is rather subjective, isn’t it?

    Sünde, Versuchung, Höllenqualen – Die Höllen-Landschaften des Hieronymus Bosch

    November 8, 2012 / 1 Comment

    Keiner konnte das Böse so gut darstellen wie Hieronymus Bosch (1450- 1516). Seine an Wimmelbücher für Erwachsene erinnernden Darstellungen sind voller Bestien, Anspielungen und Symbole. Symbole werden in der bildenden Kunst zwar bereits seit der Prähistorik verwendet, aber anders als bei Symptomen wie „…wo Rauch ist, ist Feuer“ besteht zwischen dem Symbol und seiner Bedeutung jedoch keine direkte, auf den Symbolgehalt hinweisende Beziehung. Das Symbol besitzt seine bestimmte Bedeutung nur aufgrund von Konventionen. Mit dem Spracherwerb lernen wir im Kindesalter gleichzeitig die Symbolsprache. Am Horizont aufquellende schwarze Wolken stehen für Unglück, die vom Himmel fallende Sternschnuppe hingegen wird mit Glück assoziiert. In unserer Kultur weiß das jedes Kind. Die Kunst…

    “Lamentings heard i’ the air; strange screams of death, And prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events”- William Shakespeare (Macbeth, 2.3)

    Ok, let’s talk about the bizarre. Not the bizarre fascination so many people seem to have with reality shows… TOWIE, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding anyone?  Nor am I talking about the bizarre and scary world which has created the ‘Honey Boo Boo’ phenomenon.  Even the Blobfish and the Aye-Aye lose their bizarreness factor when compared to what I’m going to be talking about! (You may want to Google Blobfish and Aye-Aye, just so you get an idea how bizarre this is going to get…) Ok, I think I’ve created enough suspense.  Today folks, allow me to introduce you to Hieronymus Bosch: artist extraordinaire, and possessor of one heck of…

    Der Erwerb des Seelenheils

    September 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Wie oft standen wir während unseres Studiums der Kunstgeschichte bei den sogenannten „Übungen vor Originalen“ vor christlichen Meisterwerken und gingen vor unseren inneren Augen das „Who‘s Who“ der Kunstgeschichte durch. Auf einer Darstellung der Thronenden Madonna beispielsweise sind im Bildzentrum auf einem Thron sitzend die Gottesmutter und auf ihrem Schoß das Jesuskind dargestellt. Befinden sich weitere Personen auf dem Werk – was keine Ausnahme, sondern eher der Regelfall ist – wird es schon schwieriger. Auf dem seit dem Mittelalter sehr häufig auftretenden Bildtypus der Maestà, der Maria als Herrscherin zeigt, wird diese von Engeln umringt, häufig sind auch mehrere anhand ihrer jeweiligen Attribute erkenntliche Heilige dargestellt. Besonders schwierig wird es…

    Ecce homo, ved aquí al hombre

    September 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Solo puedo decir que estoy francamente impresionada por la campaña publicitaria que ha lanzado el Getty para promocionar la muestra dedicada al recién restaurado retablo del maestro renacentista holandés Maerten van Heemskerck (1498-1574), «Drama and Devotion: Heemskerck’s “Ecce Homo” Altarpiece from Warsaw»… Contratar a una devota y bienintencionada octogenaria para «retocar» un eccehomomenor en una pequeña iglesia española con un resultado tan ridículamente jocoso que se convierta en el tema del momento y que ponga los Cristos y las restauraciones de arte de primerísima actualidad… No puedo más que rendirme a los pies de ese genial e increíblemente retorcido publicista en cuyas manos Internet es poco más que una redecilla…

    Restoration or Paint-by-numbers

    September 18, 2012 / 0 Comments

    I’m going to take this opportunity to get back on my high horse about the restoration and conservation of art for posterity’s sake. J. Paul Getty Museum, you’re doing it right! Maerten van Heemskerck, a 16th century Netherlandish painter, bestowed Ecce Homo upon us, a masterpiece which usually resides in Warsaw, but has travelled all the way to Los Angeles – maybe not the first place I’d go after leaving Warsaw; however, definitely a site to see. A curatorial team and group of scientists have spruced it up, preserved it further, and learned more about it than has been known before. Not only has nothing but good come of this,…
