"Nackt!"
Frauenansichten. Malerabsichten. Aufbruch zur Moderne. Körper der Frau
am Beginn der Moderne.
Ernst Ludwig Kirchners „Akt mit Hut“, um 1911, steht im Mittelpunkt
unserer Ausstellung „Nackt! Der Körper der Frau am Beginn der Moderne“.
Als ein Hauptwerk der Sammlung wird es in einen breiten zeitgenössischen
Kontext (1880-1938) gestellt werden, der einer der aufregendsten in der
Kunstentwicklung überhaupt ist. Am Blick des Malers bzw. der Malerin auf
den Körper der Frau werden Einflüsse und Entwicklungen der Kunst- und
Kulturgeschichte erfahrbar. So befreit sich die Aktmalerei um 1900 aus den
traditionellen Bahnen, Blut steigt in die Adern, aus perfekten Akten
werden Nackte. Das Konzept schließt den Bereich der Salonmalerei
vollkommen aus und hat keinen Platz für Auftragsarbeiten. Wir wollen die
Aufmerksamkeit auf Werke lenken, in denen der Künstler seine
persönlichen Visionen auslebt und dabei formal neue Wege beschreitet. Die
international ausgerichtete Ausstellung vereint Meisterwerke von namhaften
Künstlern wie Renoir, Degas, Gauguin, Bonnard und Picasso mit denen von
Modersohn-Becker, Schiele, Kokoschka und Dix, lässt jedoch auch Raum für
außergewöhnliche Entdeckungen. So können wir neben Werken von Klimt
auch einen großen Akt seiner Schülerin Broncia Koller zeigen. Aus der
Fülle von nackten Frauen, die die Kunstgeschichte der Jahrhundertwende
bereithält, führen wir Exponate zusammen, die in Gebärde, Farbigkeit
und Stimmung eng aufeinander bezogen werden können und den Besucher in
ihren sinnlichen Bann ziehen!

"Figures de terre"
Rodin
face à l'antique
Paris, musée Rodin
Après les Tanagras du Louvre, voici celles de Rodin: Ces figurines
grecques d'argile, redécouvertes en Béotie à la fin de 1870 sur le site
de Tanagra, et devenues symboles de l'élégance et la beauté féminine,
connurent un extraordinaire engouement à la fin du XIXe siècle. Rodin,
collectionneur d'antiques, ne résista pas à leur charme et acheta des
centaines de statuettes égyptiennes, grecques ou romaines.

"Dante et Virgile aux Enfers"
Paris,
musée Rodin
Dessins de Rodin
Rodin façonne tous ses personnages au lavis et à la gouache, au gré
de son imagination fertile. Des générations d'artistes ont été
marquées par l'aspect visionnaire de l'italien,de Botticelli à Blake et
à Doré. Soixante ans après Delacroix et sa Barque de Dante ,que le
Louvre célèbre ce printemps, Rodin s'imprègne, par le dessin, de
l'esprit du florentin pour en faire le grand œuvre de sa vie. Il va
jusqu'à donner le titre de Dante à son Penseur . À la fin de sa vie,il
songea même à attribuer le nom de masque de Dante au buste d'un
américain. Une trentaine de dessins, photographies,documents et buste
prouvent l'admiration et l'inspiration d'un artiste de la fin du XIX ème
envers un maître du XIII ème siècle.

"Edgar Degas and the Italians in Paris"
ITALY & GREAT BRITAIN
This art exhibition will be the first which explores the relation
between E. Degas and a group of Italian artists who lived in Paris at the
end of the 19th century and who had friendly and business relations with
this great French impressionist.
The exhibition presents some seventy works, such as oil paintings,
sculptures, pastels and etchings of degas and his Italian colleagues:
Zandomeneghi, De Nittis, Boldini, M. Rosso, to whom he was linked by his
Italian origin and his love for the culture of the peninsula.
The brilliant experiments of degas influenced his environment with his
innovatory art, as a matter of subjects as well as of techniques.
This exhibition includes famous masterpieces and less known works, not
just with the sole purpose of showing them to the public, but above all
that of stimulating the researches and studies about the art of the late
19th century. |

"Ideale e Realtà."
Una storia del nudo dal
Neoclassicismo ad oggi.
Bologna, Galleria d'Arte Moderna
ITALY
For the second time the Galleria d’Arte Moderna of Bologna will be
staging this comprehensive exhibition dedicated to one of the leading
themes of western art: the nude. Just as the exhibition dedicated to still
life (2001-2002) chose Manet as a starting point, the exhibition “The
Nude between Ideal and Reality: a History from Neoclassicism until Now”
starts with Canova and runs through to the most recent figurative trends.
It will be structured into three different sections: painting and
sculpture, photography and video- performance.
It includes moral, religious, social as well as stylistic and aesthetic
dimensions and deals with the taboo of what can or cannot be shown at
different times. So works which have been created for private viewing now
become public, for instance the drawings and water-colours of Schiele,
Klimt and Rodin.
The exhibition demonstrates the changes regarding the philosophy of
life, from the artificial fictions of Neoclassicism to today’s view of
the fragmented body. The exhibition contains numerous three-dimensional
works and presents to the viewer major works by Canova, Giacometti,
Gauguin, Degas, Maillol, Marini, Lachaise, Martini, Laurens, Rodin and
Jones.
Two catalogues will be published by ArtificioSkira, including essays by
Luca Beatrice, Penelope Curtis, Paolo Fabbri, Umberto Galimberti- Uliana
Zanetti, Claudia Gian Ferrari, Peter Gorsen, Claudio Poppi, Alison Smith
and Peter Weiermair for the volume on figurative arts, and Claudio Marra,
Ulrich Pohlmann and Peter Weiermair for the volume on photography. |
