Вокруг Михая Мункачи

31.03.2015 – 28.06.2015
Галерея искусства стран Европы и Америки XIX–XX вв.
http://www.arts-museum.ru   

Впервые в России в ГМИИ им. А.С. Пушкина будет представлена выставка произведений венгерского художника Михая Мункачи (1844-1900). Художественный стиль этого мастера сформировался во время обучения в ведущих академиях и художественных студиях Дюссельдорфа, Мюнхена и Парижа. Особое влияние на его творчество оказали художники Барбизонской школы и импрессионисты. Познакомившись с их произведениями, Михай Мункачи, первоначально известный как автор картин на социальные и исторические сюжеты, обратился к новым жанрам - пейзажу, натюрморту, салонным сценам. Произведения Мункачи неизменно вызывали самую высокую оценку русских художников и критиков – Владимир Стасов и передвижники называли его «одним из самых решительных, неукротимых реалистов в Европе». Илья Репин, бывавший в парижской мастерской Мункачи, считал его превосходным колористом.

В экспозиции будет показано более 20 произведений мастера из собрания Национальной Галереи Венгрии и частной коллекции. Это позволит познакомиться с разными периодами творчества Михая Мункачи, проследить эволюцию его художественного стиля. Отдельно на выставке будут представлены работы русских художников, созданные под влиянием или в диалоге с Мункачи. 

Лоренцо Лотто из церкви Санто Спирито в Бергамо

Лоренцо Лотто. Мадонна на троне со Св. Екатериной, Св. Августином, Св. Себастьяном и Св. Антонием Аббатом из церкви Санто Спирито в Бергамо

I brani di paesaggio veri e propri si intravedano appena oltre un parapetto, ma spicca soprattutto il luminoso cielo in cui, in un turbine di nubi, un anello di angeli musicanti e due putti alati reggicorona fanno da corona all'apparizione in gloria della colomba dello Spirito Santo, che rimanda alla dedica principale della chiesa.

In primo piano, al centro, si vede la Madonna col Bambino su un alto trono, coperto da teli, cuscini e un tappeto orientale. Attorno a lei si dispongono quattro santi: Caterina d'Alessandria, Agostino (titolare dell'altare), Sebastiano e Antonio Abate. Sono state notate assonanze tra la pala e la disposizione dei personaggi nella Disputa del Sacramento di Raffaello, come anche la citazione del tipo fisico del san Giovannino, ai piedi del trono, che ricorda un putto nel Trionfo di Galatea a Roma. Egli gioca con l'agnellino, simbolo del sacrificio di Gesù, come sottolinea anche il cartiglio "[Ec]ce Agnus De[i]"; tipicamente lottesco è il dettaglio curioso e ironico dell'animale che si divincola per liberarsi dall'abbraccio troppo forte. Ma a Raffaello rimanda soprattutto l'assetto grandioso e monumentale dei personaggi, con colori resi fiammanti dalla luce incidente, e con atteggiamenti impostati a una misurata classicità.

De Giotto à Caravage. Les passions de Roberto Longhi

Du 27 mars au 20 juillet 2015
http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.com

L’exposition présente les grands noms de la peinture italienne, du XIVe au XVIIe siècle, redécouverts par Roberto Longhi (1899/1890-1970), l’une des personnalités majeures de l’histoire de l’art italien. Giotto, Masaccio, Masolino, Piero della Francesca, Ribera, Caravage… autant d’artistes de premier plan qui seront ainsi mis en lumière. Aux oeuvres issues de la Fondation Roberto Longhi, présentées pour la première fois en France, répondront les oeuvres prêtées par les plus grands musées français et italiens. Un dialogue inédit entre ce grand connaisseur et ses passions artistiques.

L’exposition s’ouvre sur une section consacrée aux oeuvres de Caravage dont le célèbre Garçon mordu par un lézard de la Fondation Roberto Longhi (Florence). Artiste emblématique pour lequel Roberto Longhi s’est passionné, Caravage a révolutionné la peinture italienne du XVIIe siècle en passant d’une peinture naturaliste à une peinture plus inspirée, marquée par le clair-obscur. Autour du Garçon mordu par un lézard, deux autres oeuvres de Caravage sont exceptionnellement réunies : Le Couronnement d’épines de la Collezione Banca Popolare di Vicenza et L’Amour endormi de la Galleria Palatina (Florence).

Fidèle à la démarche de Roberto Longhi, l’exposition mettra en regard les oeuvres de Caravage et de ses émules, en montrant l’influence des thèmes et du style de cet artiste sur ses contemporains, à Rome d’abord, puis dans toute l’Europe. Carlo Saraceni (vers 1579 – 1620) et Bartolomeo Manfredi (1582-1622) ont contribué à populariser les thèmes travaillés par Caravage – figures du Christ, scènes bibliques… – et à les diffuser. Deux générations reprendront ces thèmes à leur compte : Jusepe Ribera (1591-1652) à travers ses apôtres saisissants, Matthias Stomer (1600 – 1652) ou Mattia Preti (1613 – 1699).

Au cours de ses recherches, Roberto Longhi s’est également intéressé aux primitifs, ces artistes rénovateurs du début du XIVe siècle (Giotto), et aussi aux artistes italiens du XVe siècle à l’origine de la peinture moderne (Masaccio, Masolino, Piero della Francesca). Quelques uns de leurs chefs-d’oeuvre ont été prêtés pour cette exposition par la Galerie des Offices et la Galleria Palatina à Florence, les Musées du Vatican et les Gallerie dell’Accademia à Venise.

L’exposition retrace ainsi au Musée Jacquemart-André quelques-uns des moments clés de l’art italien grâce aux lumières apportées par Roberto Longhi, des maîtres de l’avant-garde de la Renaissance italienne, jusqu’à Caravage et les caravagesques.

Defining beauty. the body in ancient Greek art

26 March – 5 July 2015
http://www.britishmuseum.org

Experience the brilliance and diversity of ancient Greek art in this major exhibition focusing on the human body.

For centuries the ancient Greeks experimented with ways of representing the human body, both as an object of beauty and a bearer of meaning.

The remarkable works of art in the exhibition range from abstract simplicity of prehistoric figurines to breathtaking realism in the age of Alexander the Great. These works continued to inspire artists for hundreds of years, giving form to thought and shaping our own perceptions of ourselves.

'The chief forms of beauty are order, symmetry and clear delineation’ – Aristotle

'In portraying ideal types of beauty... you bring together from many models the most beautiful features of each' – Socrates

Great British Drawings

26 March – 31 August 2015
http://www.ashmolean.org

The collection of British drawings and watercolours in the Ashmolean is one of the largest and most important in the world. Great British Drawings shows more than one hundred works by some of the country’s greatest artists, to trace the history of drawing in Britain. Many of the drawings are shown for the first time in public.

The collection in the Ashmolean ranges widely, from Flemish artists working in Britain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, to the experiments in modernism instigated on the Continent and enthusiastically taken up by the British after the First World War.

Velázquez

25 Mars 2015 - 13 Juillet 2015
http://www.grandpalais.fr

Figure majeure de l’histoire de l’art, Diego Velázquez (1599- 1660) est sans conteste le plus célèbre des peintres de l’âge d’or espagnol.

L’exposition met son oeuvre en dialogue avec de nombreuses toiles d’artistes de son temps qu’il a pu connaître, admirer ou influencer.

Elle se penche également sur la question des variations de styles et de sujets dans les premières compositions de Velázquez, le passage entre naturalisme et caravagisme, ainsi que son égale habileté à exécuter paysages, portraits et peintures d’histoire.

Новые рассказчики в русском искусстве XX–XXI веков

25 марта - 25 мая
http://www.rusmuseum.ru/

Выставка посвящена особенностям представления рассказа или нарратива в творчестве современных российских художников. Живопись с развитым повествовательным началом традиционно игнорировалась в последние десятилетия за «литературность». Между тем, рассказ, на этот раз в новом концептуальном контексте, в последнее десятилетие всё больше привлекает современных художников. В качестве предыстории темы, заявленной в названии выставки, будут представлены повествовательные по характеру работы таких известных мастеров советской живописи, как К. Петров-Водкин, А. Левитин, А. Лактионов, Ю. Непринцев. Основной раздел экспозиции составят живописные произведения А.Виноградова и В. Дубосарского, В. Голубева, Н. Копейкина, Т. Коротковой, Д. Мачулиной, В. Тихомирова, Д. Шорина и многих других художников, работающих в наши дни.

Rogier van der Weyden

24 March - 28 June 2015
https://www.museodelprado.es/

This exhibition is organised in conjunction with the restoration of the great Crucifixion in El Escorial, which is currently being undertaken at the Prado as part of a collaborative institutional agreement between the Museum and Patrimonio Nacional.

The exhibition will provide a unique and remarkable opportunity to see The Crucifixion, The Descent from the Cross and The Durán Virgin alongside other works by the Flemish artist that were in Spain from an early date, such as the celebrated Miraflores Triptych (now Berlin, Gemäldegalerie). As a result, the exhibition will allow for an appreciation of the artist’s finest and most fully documented works, as well as analysing different and fundamental aspects of Van der Weyden’s creative activity, such as the close links between his works and sculpture, the far-reaching subsequent influence of his art and its repercussion in Spain.

Painting Paradise: The Art of the Garden

20th March 2015 - 11th October 2015
www.royalcollection.org.uk

Whether a sacred sanctuary, a place for scientific study, a haven for the solitary thinker or a space for pure enjoyment and delight, gardens are where man and nature meet.

Painting Paradise: The Art of the Garden reveals the way in which gardens have been celebrated in art across four centuries. Bringing together paintings, botanical studies, drawings, books, manuscripts and decorative arts, the exhibition explores the changing character of the garden from the 16th to the early 20th century. It includes works by Leonardo da Vinci, Maria Sibylla Merian and Carl Fabergé, and some of the earliest and rarest surviving depictions of gardens and plants.

Hieronymus Bosch. The legacy

March 19 to June 15, 2015
http://www.skd.museum

This exhibition, which demonstrates how the work of the painter Hieronymus Bosch lived on in a multiplicity of ways in prints of the early modern period and even into the 18th century, celebrates the recent acquisition of the triptych “The End of Time, Heaven and Hell” after Bosch. This engraving was published by the Antwerp printmaker Hieronymus Cock, who operated at international level and whose workshop was instrumental in disseminating Bosch’s artistic legacy throughout Europe. A total of 41 individual works and sheets selected from 20 different series of prints are on show. Along with books, paintings, items of treasury art, and decorative objects, they illustrate the significance in various fields of artistic creation of Boschian figures, monsters, demons and fantastic creatures.

The works focus on themes of the virtues and vices of humanity, as well as its dreams and fantasies. While Hieronymus Bosch’s works were originally shaped by Christian-clericalist attitudes, during the Renaissance his panels were regarded as painted prophecies of the collapse of the Christian community of faith and the imminent end of the world. At the same time, his motifs and chimeric creatures inspired a new aesthetic of the grotesque, which challenged the existing boundaries of classical art.

Tamara de Lempicka

Dal 19 Marzo 2015 al 30 Agosto 2015
http://www.mostratamara.it/

Tre aspetti vengono analizzati in particolare: i ritratti dedicati alle “amazones”, ovvero le amiche lesbiche, messi a confronto con fotografie di Brassai; quelli dedicati all’amica Ira Perrot, uno dei quali (il Ritratto d’Ira Perrot con calle) viene riproposto in un allestimento fatto a New York nel 1933, grazie alla documentazione recentemente rinvenuta dalla curatrice della mostra; e infine i ritratti dedicati ai bambini, in particolare alla figlia Kizette. La sezione dedicata al nudo si sviluppa attraverso l’esposizione di un antecedente antico (una tavola di metà Cinquecento di cerchia fiorentina) a cui la Lempicka ha fatto riferimento, che dà origine a una serie di spettacolari dipinti. In questa sezione sono compresi una cospicua serie di disegni e confronti con fotografie di Albin-Guillot e Brassai che rendono evidente la ricerca della Lempicka sull’illuminazione e gli scorci da studio fotografico.

L’ultima sezione racconta il continuo rapporto della Lempicka con il mondo della moda. Vi si troveranno quindi le sue illustrazioni per riviste databili al 1921, disegni, dipinti e fotografie dell’artista, scattate dai massimi fotografi di moda dell’epoca 1930-1950, da d’Ora a Joffé a Maywald.  Due rari filmati degli anni Trenta faranno muovere e rivivere l’artista negli spazi della mostra.

The Tudors

18 March - 19 July 2015
museeduluxembourg.fr

Of all the dynasties that have succeeded one another on the English throne, the Tudors, who reigned between 1485 and 1603, are certainly one of the most popular. Apart from the legend largely inspired by their private lives, the sovereigns left a deep imprint on the history of the kingdom: politically, by giving it a strategic position in Europe; spiritually, by breaking away from the Catholic Church; and culturally, by welcoming the Renaissance. Artists from Italy, Flanders and Germanic countries entered the service of the court to meet the new need for Royal portraits. It was at the confines of all these influences, in a country undergoing great upheavals, that the original forms of the English Renaissance were developed. This exhibition is the first in France on the subject.

Pierre Bonnard. Peindre l'Arcadie

17 mars - 19 juillet 2015
http://www.musee-orsay.fr

Après les expositions Bonnard organisées dans le monde entier, le musée d'Orsay se devait de lui consacrer une rétrospective représentative de toutes les périodes de sa création.
Pratiquant l'art sous des formes multiples – peinture, dessin, estampe, art décoratif, sculpture, photographie –, Bonnard a défendu une esthétique essentiellement décorative, nourrie d'observations incisives et pleines d'humour tirées de son environnement immédiat.

Du tableautin au grand format, du portrait à la nature morte, de la scène intime au sujet pastoral, du paysage urbain au décor antique, l'oeuvre de Bonnard nous révèle un artiste instinctif et sensible.
Sa palette aux couleurs vives et lumineuses en fait l'un des principaux acteurs de l'art moderne et un représentant éminent du courant arcadien.

Ten Picassos from the Kunstmuseum Basel

16 March 2015 - 13 September 2015
https://www.museodelprado.es

During the spring and summer of 2015, the Museo del Prado will be presenting ten masterpieces by Pablo Picasso from the collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel while that institution is closed for alterations. Ten works by the Malaga-born artist, dating between 1906 and 1967, will thus offer a small retrospective to be shown in the Central Gallery of the Villanueva Building alongside some of the Museum’s greatest masterpieces.

This project is part of a broader collaborative agreement between the Kunstmuseum Basel, the Museo del Prado and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, which will also be presenting a selection of works from the Swiss museum.

Modigliani e la Bohème di Parigi

14 Marzo al 12 Luglio 2015
http://www.gamtorino.it

Saranno esposte circa 90 opere, tra cui sessanta capolavori provenienti dal Musée National d’Art Moderne ‐ Centre Pompidou di Parigi e da importanti collezioni pubbliche e private d’Europa. La mostra è promossa dalla GAM e prodotta da MondoMostre e Skira editore in collaborazione con il Musée National d’Art Moderne ‐ Centre Pompidou di Parigi. La curatela scientifica è affidata a Jean‐Michel Bouhours, accreditato studioso di Modigliani e curatore del dipartimento delle collezioni moderne del Centre Pompidou di Parigi. Intorno alla figura centrale di Modigliani si presenta la straordinaria atmosfera culturale creata dalla “École de Paris”, la corrente che ebbe protagonisti alcuni artisti attivi nel primo dopoguerra, spesso esuli ebrei perseguitati nel loro paese di origine, che si raccolsero intorno a Montmartre e Montparnasse uniti dal desiderio di vivere in pieno il clima artistico e culturale di Parigi, creando una completa simbiosi tra vita e arte e distinguendosi per uno stile personalissimo e una vita dissoluta e priva di regole. Si parte da un significativo corpus di opere del Centre Pompidou di Parigi, nelle cui collezioni Modigliani entrò a far parte già nella metà degli anni ’30 del Novecento.

LIFE 100

March 14 –April 30, 2015
www.life100.org

The life100 art exhibition, will uplift, inspire and empower visitors by showcasing over 30 master Armenian artists and 20 contemporary Armenian artists from Los Angeles, whose stories represent the impact of the Armenian Genocide from over 15 countries. The exhibition and related programming is conceived and curated by the life100 Organizing Committee in coordination with the City of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture Department and the United Armenian Council for the Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide/LA.

The exhibition is a never before seen look at the collective works of Armenia’s Master Artists, and celebrates the contribution of artists of Armenian descent toward re-establishing cultural identity and building creative spirit for the future, highlighting their resilience, strength and creativity in the face of adversity.

“There has always been a strong Armenian presence in the art world. It is now time to recognize the works of these talented individuals during the milestone anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,” states Aida Navasargian, life100’s Director of Marketing.  “There are various mediums which exemplify Armenia’s contribution to the visual arts. In addition to painting, we have strived to include sculpture, mixed media, installation, and cinema. The selection of works was a grueling process, but the committee succeeded in gathering works from the finest names in Armenian art.” The works on view come from Southern California private collections and galleries and represent master artists such as Arshile Gorky, John Altoon, and Minas Avetisyan, as well as some of the best local Armenian artists including Joanne Julian, Aram Saroyan and Vahe Berberian.

Power and Pathos. Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World

14 March−21 June 2015
http://www.palazzostrozzi.org

Using outstanding examples of large-scale bronze sculptures, the exhibition sets out to explore the development of art in the Hellenistic age as it spread from Greece throughout the Mediterranean between the 4th and 1st centuries BC.
The use of bronze, with its unique characteristics, allowed artists to impart an unprecedented level of dynamism to their full-figure statues and of naturalism to their portraits, where psychological expression became a hallmark of the style.
Thanks to the valuable cooperation of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, and with the contribution of Bank of America, the exhibition will be hosting pieces from many of the world's leading archaeological museums. The monumental statues of gods and goddesses, athletes and warriors, will be on display alongside portraits of poweful public figures, together with a number of works in marble or stone selected for the fascinating way in which they successfully emulate bronze.

Björk

March 8, 2015 to June 7, 2015
http://www.moma.org

The Museum of Modern Art presents a retrospective of the multifaceted work of composer, musician, and artist Björk. The exhibition draws from more than 20 years of the artist’s daring and adventurous projects and her seven full-length albums—from Debut (1993) to Biophilia (2011)—to chronicle her career through sound, film, visuals, instruments, objects, costumes, and performance. The installation will present a narrative, both biographical and imaginatively fictitious, cowritten by Björk and the acclaimed Icelandic writer Sjón. Björk’s collaborations with video directors, photographers, fashion designers, and artists will be featured, and the exhibition culminates with a newly commissioned, immersive music and film experience conceived and realized with director Andrew Thomas Huang and 3-D design leader Autodesk.

Henri Rousseau

6 March - 5 July 2015
http://palazzoducale.visitmuve.it

Henri Rousseau, called Le Douanier (1844-1910) La Charmeuse de serpents [The Snake Charmer] 1907 Oil on canvas H. 169; W. 189.5 cm Paris, Musée d'Orsay, Jacques Doucet bequest, 1936
Henri Rousseau, called Le DouanierThe Snake Charmer© RMN-Grand Palais (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski

Two years after the major exhibition Manet. Ritorno a Venezia, the Public Establishment of the Musée d'Orsay and Musée de l'Orangerie is once again joining forces with the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia to organise an extensive exhibition dedicated to Henri Rousseau, aka Le Douanier. Works by Henri Rousseau conserved at our two museums have been loaned for this event for display in the Ducal Palace, in the apartments of the Doge’s Palace, forming the heart of a presentation celebrating the originality of the French painter through the prism of his relations to archaism.

It would be futile to try to label Henri Rousseau's work (Laval, 1844 - Paris, 1910) as his painting defies any attempt at categorisation. The story of his recognition is thus based on a series of misunderstandings. Both rejected by critics for his "naive" style and appreciated by artists for the very same reason, Henri Rousseau declared himself a "realist" painter. This exhibition thus aims to underline the paradox of an eminently singular artist whose works are nonetheless anchored in his era, by comparing his painting to some of his sources of inspiration, those of a 19th century divided between academism and new painting, and to works by avant-garde artists who enthroned him as the father of modernity.

Leonora Carrington

6 March – 31 May 2015
http://www.tate.org.uk/

Leonora Carrington invites you to discover the fantastical creations of the prolific painter and internationally celebrated member of the surrealist movement, Leonora Carrington (1917-2011).
The exhibition explores Carrington’s diverse creative practice, taking a selection of key paintings made throughout her career as its starting point. A prolific painter, the exhibition explores how Carrington established her distinctive take on surrealism. Working alongside other key members of the movement, such as Salvador Dali and Max Ernst, her paintings, filled with eccentric characters which shift between plant, animal, human, objects and everything in between, will remind visitors unfamiliar with her work of her better known peers.

ДАРЫ ВЕНЕЦИИ – СЕРГЕЮ ПАРАДЖАНОВУ Коллаж: стекло, текстиль, фотография; видео

6 марта–5 апреля
http://muar.ru

Выставочный проект объединяет двух «гениев»: гений места, genius loci города Венеции и гений Сергея Параджанова – художнический и кинематографический. По признанию режиссера Венеция была чрезвычайно близка ему эстетически. Своим карнавалом, эклектичной роскошью и сложностью архитектурного пространства Венеция как будто живет в  работах Параджанова: его коллажах, многосоставных инсталляциях, сложных костюмных мизансценах…И материалы, которые он любил использовать в работе, можно назвать типично венецианскими: зеркала, кружево, бусины, предметы из стекла, маски, перья…Вдохновляясь венецианской архитектурой, просвечивающей  разными культурными слоями – от византийского стиля до барокко и классицизма – Параджанов искал и находил свой modus vivendi.
В 2014 году Сергею Параджанову исполнилось бы 90 лет.  Кинорежиссер, художник и поэт Татьяна Данильянц, живущая в Москве и Венеции, в своем мультимедийном проекте исследует художественные и документальные связи между Сергеем Параджановым и Венецией. Городская архитектурная среда Венеции оказывается в работах Данильянц наполненной следами Параджанова:  «домом» для Маэстро становится реальный дом в Венеции, в котором жил кинорежиссер Франческо Пазинетти. Одно из двух деревьев на кампо Санта Маргарита становится «Деревом для Параджанова», а неожиданный примитивистский натюрморт в венецианской траттории, заставляющий нас вспомнить столь любимые Маэстро работы Пиросмани,  – «Натюрмортом для Параджанова».

В фотоработах, являющихся частью проекта, как в зеркалах, отразились архитектурные и жанровые реалии города: дополненные венецианскими миниатюрами из стекла и мурринами «Лодка для Параджанова», «Песня для Параджанова», «Дерево для Параджанова»… Другая часть выставочного проекта – выполненные из текстиля и стекла в технике коллажа-витража пять композиций: «Венеция», «Воздух Венеции», «Вода Венеции», «Остров Святого Лазаря», «Сан Марко». Соединение исторического венецианского текстиля из мастерских Луиджи Бевильаква и скульптурных «витражей», выполненных в технике «дутого» стекла в стеклодувнях Мурано, репрезентирует многослойные, емкие образы Венеции.

Последняя составляющая проекта – фильм Татьяны Данильянц «Вспоминая Параджанова».

Выставка «Дары Венеции – Сергею Параджанову» стартовала в сентябре 2014 года в Музее современного искусства Еревана. В марте 2015 года в Музее архитектуры проходит ее российская премьера. Далее проект отправится в Санкт-Петербург, потом – в Венецию и закончит свое путешествие в родном городе Сергея Параджанова – Тбилиси.

СЕРОВ. НЕ ПОРТРЕТИСТ

05 марта - 08 июня 2015
http://www.rusmuseum.ru

В собрании Русского музея представлена блистательная коллекция портретов Валентина Александровича Серова (1865-1911), многие из которых стали подлинной классикой отечественного искусства рубежа XIX-XX веков. Однако сам художник подчеркивал, что он не только портретист. На выставке, приуроченной к 150-летию со дня рождения В.А.Серова, этот мастер представлен как исторический живописец, жанрист, пейзажист, автор работ, во многом предвосхитивших открытия русского авангарда.

На выставке представлено около 250 произведений живописи, графики, скульптуры из коллекции Русского музея, а также из собраний других музеев России. Зрители смогут впервые познакомиться с картиной «Хождение Христа по водам» (1890), исполненной Валентином Серовым и Константином Коровиным для приходской церкви Костромской мануфактуры П.М. Третьякова и В.Д. Коншина.

Matisse. Arabesque

4 marzo - 21 giugno 2015
http://www.scuderiequirinale.it/

“La preziosità o gli arabeschi non sovraccaricano mai i miei disegni, perché quei preziosismi e quegli arabeschi fanno parte della mia orchestrazione del quadro.”

La révélation m'est venue d'Orient scriveva Henri Matisse nel 1947 al critico Gaston Diehl: una rivelazione che non fu uno shock improvviso ma - come testimoniano i suoi quadri e disegni -viene piuttosto da una crescente frequentazione dell'Oriente e si sviluppa nell'arco di viaggi, incontri e visite a mostre ed esposizioni.

Proposta dalle Scuderie del Quirinale, promossa dal Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, da Roma Capitale - Assessorato alla Cultura, Creatività e Promozione Artistica, la mostra è organizzata dall’Azienda Speciale Palaexpo in coproduzione con MondoMostre e catalogo a cura di Skira editore. In esposizione oltre cento opere di Matisse con alcuni capolavori assoluti - per la prima volta in Italia - dai maggiori musei del mondo: Tate, MET, MoMa, Puškin, Ermitage, Pompidou, Orangerie, Philadelphia, Washington solo per citarne alcuni per un valore complessivo delle opere che supera il miliardo di euro.

Inventing Impressionism

4 March – 31 May 2015
http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk

“Without him,” said Monet “we wouldn’t have survived.”

So universally popular are the Impressionists today, it’s hard to imagine a time when they weren’t. But in the early 1870s they struggled to be accepted. Shunned by the art establishment, they were even lambasted as ‘lunatics’ by one critic.

One man, however, recognised their worth from the beginning. Paul Durand-Ruel, an entrepreneurial art dealer from Paris, discovered this group of young artists – including Monet, Degas, Manet, Renoir, Pissarro and Sisley – and gambled.

Realising the fashionable potential of their derided ‘impressions’ of urban and suburban life, Durand-Ruel dedicated the rest of his life to building an audience for their work – creating the modern art market in the process.

Such was his perseverance, Durand-Ruel nearly bankrupted himself twice, before successfully globalising his operation with outposts in London, Brussels and New York, and establishing the one-man show as the international norm for exhibitions.

The ‘Impressionists’ – a term first used derogatively by critics – was to become the household name that stands today.

‘Inventing Impressionism’ features 85 masterpieces from the movement, all but one having passed through Durand-Ruel’s hands, including three of Renoir’s famous ‘Dances’ and five from Monet’s ‘Poplars’ series.
