Van Gogh: Heartfelt Lines

5 September 2008–7 December 2008

Vienna, Albertina

Although Van Gogh, who described the hardship of peasants and workers out of a feeling of sympathy, had originally wanted to become a draughtsman and illustrator, he finally was to revolutionise the art of his century as an artist obsessed with colour, freeing it from the principle of the imitation of reality, as well as from the academies’ dictates of idealness. After he moved from the Netherlands to Paris in 1886, and even more so during his two last years in southern France, Van Gogh’s palette brightened notably. The brownish hues of Salon painting suddenly gave way to the purity of glistening colours. This new colouristic intensity resulted from the artist’s immediate perception of things – he was now working outdoors, in the scorching sunlight of Provence, where he directly confronted himself with his motifs.

Nevertheless, Van Gogh’s original desire to be a draughtsman had an impact on the way he dealt with colour and applied it to the canvas. By the time of his suicide in Auvers in 1890, a comprehensive and intensive drawn oeuvre had accumulated; the drawings and watercolours influenced Van Gogh’s painting style profoundly, and it became a personal idiosyncrasy of his that he drew with the brush he had previously dipped into the paint, or that he applied the expressive coloured lines and dots to the canvas directly from the tube. The large, highly finished pen drawings and watercolours are equal in artistic accomplishment to Van Gogh’s paintings in all respects. The Albertina’s Van Gogh exhibition does not distinguish between the painter and the draughtsman. In fact, the comprehensive show, assembling 50 paintings and 100 of the most impressive watercolours and drawings from more than 60 lenders around the globe, intends to demonstrate the interdependence between painting and drawing, as well as the correlation between Van Gogh’s new approach to colour and the expressive linear style he developed, both of which form an irresolvable creative unity.

This exhibition was compiled in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and is the largest presentation of the artist’s oeuvre since the jubilee exhibition in Amsterdam in 1990. Moreover, it is the first Van Gogh show in Austria for more than half a century. Lenders include the Van Gogh Museum (Amsterdam), Kröller-Müller Museum (Otterlo), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Musée d’Orsay (Paris), National Gallery of Art (Washington), Guggenheim Museum (New York), Pushkin Museum (Moscow), Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and private collections.

Gustav Klimt and the Art Show of 1908

1 October 2008–18 January 2009

Vienna, Osterreichische Galerie Belvedere

‘The Kiss’ by Gustav Klimt is one of the most prominent works in the Belvedere collection. It was first presented to the public in 1908 at the Kunstschau (Art Show). The Kunstschau was organised by the Klimt Group, including Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser and several other artists. One of the highlights of the exhibition was "Raum 22" an entire room dedicated exclusively to the works of Gustav Klimt where besides portraits, landscapes and allegories, ‘The Kiss’ was presented. Now, one hundred years later, it is our goal to convey the fascination felt by the public in 1908 at the Kunstschau 1908 to our twenty-first century public. The show will include works from the Belvedere Collection as well as from major international collections.  (Text: Museum)

Russia 1900:  Art and culture in the Empire of the Last Tsar

12 October 2008–1st February 2009

Darmstadt, Institut Mathildenhoehe

Symbolism, national Romanticism and Neo-Primitivism – Russian art at the threshold of the 20th century presents itself in various facets. The art scene of that period was characterised by the tension between a leaning towards West European Modernism and the search for a specifically “Russian” style derived from its own cultural roots: thus ideas based on folklore, fairy tales and enjoyment of colour became characteristic hallmarks of Russian art around 1900.

A special emphasis in the exhibition lies on the Jugendstil in Russia. It is thus treading new ground, for until now painting, graphic art, architecture, arts and crafts, and design influenced by this style have never been shown in these quantities. The exhibition not only brings together exquisite works of art from the most important museums in Russia, but also provides insights into the programmes and reality of the artists’ associations, studios and factories that were setting the agenda.

Interior/Exterior: Living Spaces in the Arts: From Romantic Interior Painting to the Home Design of the Future

29 November 2008–13 April 2009

Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg

This large-scale, thematic exhibition explores the dynamic interplay between interior painting and design, spanning from Romanticism to the modernist living concepts of the Bauhaus to home design of the future. The exhibition will present paintings, sculptures and installations as well as reconstructed interiors, historical and contemporary furniture, photographs, video works and digital animations by roughly 70 distinguished artists and designers, including Caspar David Friedrich, Henry van de Velde, Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Richard Hamilton, Zaha Hadid, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Thomas Demand and Andrea Zittel. Interior/Exterior charts the history of a gradual convergence of art and design that has ultimately led to a relationship of reciprocal influence between the disciplines: designers are increasingly employing artistic methods and principles (Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, Zaha Hadid), while artists have begun to produce usable objects and environments (Donald Judd, Tobias Rehberger). Interior/Exterior represents a further milestone in the project series “The pursuit of modernism in the 21st century”.

The exhibition opens with a landscape painting by Caspar David Friedrich from around 1800 that represents modern man’s desire to make himself at home in the “infinite interior of the cosmos”. Transporting the core element of this vision into the 21st century, the display culminates with the fully glazed oval house “R129” designed by the German engineer and architect Werner Sobek. Between these two works marking the beginning and the end of the exhibition, visitors are taken chapter by chapter on a journey through the 20th century: A dark suite of rooms featuring outstanding painted interiors from around 1900 (Edvard Munch, Felix Vallotton, Vilhelm Hammershøi) framed by genuine interior design ensembles of Art Nouveau and Viennese modernism (Henry van de Velde, Josef Hoffmann) takes us into the hidden recesses of the modern soul. Piet Mondrian’s 1:1 reconstruction of his Parisian studio opens the door to the revolution of modern living and its light-filled spaces: the clear lines and classic elegance of the modern style developed by Eileen Gray and the Bauhaus masters. The pop and kidney-table-aesthetic of the 1950s/60s seems to lead back to the cosy domestic interior of brightly coloured decor: a particular highlight of the exhibition is the walk-through, cave-like environment “Visiona 2” (1970) by the Danish designer Verner Panton. Besides the desire for transparency, light and spaciousness, the ensemble documents another major trend in home decor: cocooning. At the same time, Minimal Art (Donald Judd) of the 1960s also exerted a strong influence: it coined the post-industrial housing form of the loft as a style of living that has carried the clear formal vocabulary of the Bauhaus into the 21st century. In the 1990s, a young generation of artists ‘colonised’ the neutral, white museum space with furniture-objects and environments and began to critically examine the promise of modernity. Installations that have been especially developed for this exhibition by contemporary artists (Alexandra Ranner, Tobias Rehberger and Florian Slotawa) are juxtaposed with projects by international designers and architects (Jasper Morrison, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec).

Traces du Sacré, traces of the spiritual in 20th century art

19th September 2008 – 11th January 2009

Haus der Kunst, München

http://www.hausderkunst.de/

The 20th century emerged during a time of a great crisis of faith. Nietzsche's philosophy with its declaration that 'god is dead', Max Weber's assertion of the 'world's disenchantment' were expression of this spiritual crux, which led to a changed relationship between people and religion. This, however, did not mean the end of metaphysics in art; rather it seems as if modern art, from Kandinsky to Francis Bacon and from Barnett Newman to Bill Viola, has a close relationship particularly to metaphysical questions. Artists showed and still show their will to find new forms for their aspirations in understanding endlessness. this extensive exhibition 'traces du sacré' explores the most extraordinary artistic modes of representation of this path in the 20th century and shows how it still to this day has led to the invention of new forms of expression. Amongst many others, the works shown are by Constantin Brancusi, Maurizio Cattelan, Paul Chan, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Giorgio De Chirico, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Caspar David Friedrich, Paul Gauguin, Damien Hirst, Ferdinand Hodler, Alexej Von Jawlensky, Martin Kippenberger, Kasimir Malewitsch, Piet Mondriaan, Edvard Munch, Bruce Nauman, Gerhard Richter. also included are several non-western works in order to point out the universality of this spiritual question. In collaboration with the Centre Georges Pompidou – Musée National d’art moderne, Paris.

IRELAND

Northern Stars and Southern Lights: The Golden Age of Finnish Art 1870-1920

National Gallery, Dublin

This autumn, the National Gallery of Ireland presents an exhibition on one of the lesser-known treasures of European art – Finnish painting and printmaking of the turn of the nineteenth century. Celebrating the highpoint of Finnish art, when the country was still a Grand Duchy of Russia, the exhibition will feature some 75 works which show a mix of native influences with international styles. Paris, the artistic centre of late nineteenth-century Europe, had a profound impact on Finnish artists, most notably Albert Edelfelt (1854-1905) and Akseli Gallen-Kallela (1865-1931). Finnish landscape painting will be represented by Eero Järnefelt (1863-1937), and Väinö Blomstedt (1871-1947) who captured the country’s distinctive forests, lakes and rivers in a uniquely heroic and symbolic manner. The exhibition will also demonstrate how artists depicted national legends and myths, with a particular emphasis on the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. Finland’s celebrated pavilion at the World Fair in Paris in 1900 will be documented with works by Pekka Halonen (1865-1933) and Juho Rissanen (1873-1950), which were purposely painted for this landmark occasion. The final part of the exhibition will present an overview of the various trends of early twentieth-century Modernism in Finland, including works from the Septem Group (Magnus Enckell, Yrjö Ollila, Ellen Thesleff and Verner Thomé) and the November Group (Tyko Sallinen, Marcus Collin and Alwar Cawén).  In collaboration with the Ateneum Art Museum, Helsinki.

Catalogue

Edited by Dr. Adriaan Waiboer, the illustrated catalogue to the show will include an introductory essay by Ville Lukkarinen and illustrated commentaries on all the works presented in the exhibition.

Talks

Timo Huusko, Curator, National Gallery of Finland, will give an introductory talk on the Golden Age of Finnish Art on Sunday, 9th November at 3pm (admission free).

Rivoluzione! Italian Modernism from Segantini to Balla

26 September 2008–11 January 2009

Kunsthaus Zürich

 

 

 

 

The paintings of Giovanni Segantini are well known in Switzerland, but how many people know the other exponents of Italian Divisionism? It should not be forgotten that Italian Divisionism was not only Italy’s most important contribution to Modernism in the late 19th century, it also paved the way for Futurism.

A whole generation of artists expressed their revolutionary ideals within the framework of the Divisionist movement. As the 19th century drew to a close, Italian artists broke radically with the past in terms of both content and form. Critical of the injustices of the early industrial society, they regarded their paintings as a vehicle that could inform and help to promote social change. Divisionist painters were not only active on a socio-political front, they also took a scientific interest in the theories of optical perception. Determined to intensify the radiance and brilliance of their paintings, they engaged with these theories and – largely independently of French Neo-Impression (Seurat, Signac) – developed their own techniques for the application of primary colours next to and over each other using a variety of dots, streaks, dabs and lines, so that the colours only mingle in the eye of the beholder.

This exhibition brings together paintings by twelve artists, including the leading lights of the first generation of Divisionists: Vittore Grubicy de Dragon, Giovanni Segantini, Gaetano Previati, Angelo Morbelli, Emilio Longoni, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Plinio Nomellini and Ettore Sottocornola. These works are seen in the company of paintings by artists who later caused a considerable stir as Futurists – Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà and Luigi Russolo – but who were decisively influenced by Divisionism as young artists. In collaboration with the National Gallery, London. (Text: Museum)
