Прерафаэлиты: Викторианский авангард

ГМИИ им. А.С. Пушкина
c 10 июня по 22 сентября

Основанное в 1848 году «Братство прерафаэлитов» по праву можно считать первым авангардным движением в Европе. Три таинственные буквы P.R.B. (Pre-Raphaelites Brotherhood) на картинах молодых и никому не известных художников привели в смятение английскую общественность: авторы выступили с новым художественным манифестом, желая изменить не только принципы современного искусства, но и его роль в социальной жизни общества. За образец искренности и художественной свободы Данте Габриэль Россетти, Уильям Холман Хант, Джон Эверетт Милле и их последователи взяли искусство раннего Возрождения, «до Рафаэля». Близость к природе, поклонение красоте, обращение к новым темам, яркость и образность работ прерафаэлитов стали оппозицией и критикой академических традиций. Задолго до импрессионистов прерафаэлиты начали работать на пленэре, актуализировали вопрос о правах женщин и способствовали формированию важнейшего стиля конца столетия – искусства Ар Нуво.

В экспозицию, которая будет представлена в ГМИИ им. А.С. Пушкина, войдёт живопись и прикладное искусство – более 80 произведений из музейных и частных коллекций США и Великобритании, включая жемчужины коллекции Тейт – живописные полотна «Офелия», «Мариана» Джона Эверетта Милле, «Возлюбленная» и «Прозерпина» Данте Габриэля Россетти.

The Presence of the Past: Peter Zumthor Reconsiders LACMA

LACMA
June 9, 2013–September 15, 2013

As part of the Getty’s initiative, Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A., LACMA features The Presence of the Past: Peter Zumthor Reconsiders LACMA, an exhibition about the proposed future of the museum's campus. Swiss architect Peter Zumthor has been commissioned to rethink the east campus, providing new insight into the meaning and function of an encyclopedic museum and the relationship of architecture to its site. The exhibition begins with a detailed examination of the museum's buildings within the complicated history of Hancock Park. It then focuses on Zumthor’s preliminary plans for a new building to house the permanent collection, with several large models built by the architect’s studio.

The exhibition will also present key projects in Zumthor’s career that are most relevant to his vision for LACMA: the Therme Vals in Switzerland, Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria, and the Kolumba Art Museum of the Cologne Archdiocese in Germany. These projects have resulted in Zumthor winning the highest accolades in the field of architecture, including The Pritzker Prize (2009) and the Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal (2013). Together, these examples elucidate key aspects of Zumthor’s practice – his interest in the geologic history of the site; his passion for materials, craftsmanship, and sensory experience; and his commitment to an architecture of total integration.

Chagall: Modern Master

Tate Liverpool (Liverpool, United Kingdom)
8th June 2013 - 6th October 2013

Marc Chagall (1887–1985) is one of the great artists of the last century. Bringing together more than sixty paintings and a selection of works on paper from across the world, Chagall: Modern Master takes a fresh look at this compelling artist who created some of the most poetic and enduring images of the twentieth century. This exhibition will be the first major presentation of the Russian painter’s work in the UK for more than fifteen years.

 The exhibition will explore Chagall’s development from the ‘naïve’ folkloristic narratives in his early work, towards his unique style combining fauve, cubist, expressionist and suprematist influences while reflecting his native Jewish Russian culture.

 Chagall: Modern Master will focus on the artist’s time in Paris before the First world War, his visit to Berlin and his exhibition there in 1914, and the years he spent in his native Russia around the time of the Revolution in 1917. Chagall’s experiences during this period reinforced his highly personal visual language.  The universal, timeless themes of these early works – including love, suffering and death – alongside self-portraits and depictions of the circus, music and peasants, recurred and formed the core of his art for the remainder of his long career

Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life, 1928–1945

08.06-01.09.2013
http://www.phillipscollection.org

This exhibition is the first in-depth study of still life in Georges Braque’s (1882–1963) career framed within the historical and political context of 1928 to 1945. Approximately 40 paintings chart Braque’s work in this genre from small, intimate interior scenes of the late 1920s, to vibrant, large-scale canvases of the 1930s, to darker and more personal interpretations of daily life in the 1940s. Duncan Phillips played a pioneering role in introducing this important European modernist to American audiences, acquiring 11 works by the artist and presenting Braque’s first U.S. retrospective in 1939.
The exhibition is co-organized by The Phillips Collection and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, part of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.

Noir et Bleu. Un rêve méditerranéen...

Un musée pour l’Europe et la Méditerranée
http://www.mucem.org
7 juin 2013 - 6 janvier 2014

Le noir et le bleu, Goya et Miro, ombre e sole…

Les Lumières et leurs ombres, tels l’envers et l’endroit d’un même monde, qui répond à l’idée même de civilisation, née au xviiie siècle. Goya en est la clef. Illuminados, homme des Lumières, il est un des rares qui aient su voir leurs ombres. Dans ses Désastres de la guerre il fait surgir « ce qui, en l’homme, aspire à le détruire » (Malraux).

Ce noir-là, sorte de basse continue, se retrouve dans tout le parcours de l’exposition.     Mais le noir appelle le bleu…   Bleu : « Ceci est la couleur de mes rêves. » Miro se retire dans son île, à Majorque, et s’immerge dans la Méditerranée. Puissance inaugurale du rêve, de l’utopie, son bleu est un symbole, une icône même de ce désir de trouver en l’homme ce qui parvient à le créer.

Un rêve méditerranéen… Rêve souvent unilatéral, projection du Nord sur le Sud, qui nous conduit à aller voir de l’autre côté du miroir ce qui se passe. Quel est le rêve de l’Autre ?

Traversée dans les imaginaires et les représentations de la Méditerranée, cette exposition est une invitation au récit et au voyage, en douze moments, parmi des nappes de temps, du xviiie siècle à nos jours. Une invitation au rêve, qui n’oublie jamais de regarder bien en face les cauchemars de l’histoire, car « il n’est pas de document de civilisation qui ne soit en même temps un document de barbarie » (Walter Benjamin).

Византийские древности

Московский Кремль
с 07 июня по 25 июля

Выставка в Парадном вестибюле Оружейной палаты приурочена к выходу в свет фундаментального научного каталога "Византийские древности в Музеях Кремля". Новые атрибуции, сделанные сотрудниками музея во время подготовки каталога и обследования фондов, археологические находки на территории Кремля и закупки позволили существенно приумножить византийское собрание – его численность возросла в пять раз.

Экспозиция включает лишь часть вошедших в каталог предметов. На выставке демонстрируются культовые вещи - иконы, кресты, панагии, образки, Евангелие в золотом окладе, а также монеты, стальной шлем, серебряные ложка, чаша и ковш. Каждый из экспонатов, тесно связанный с историей Московского Кремля и московских государей, заслуживает особого внимания. Некоторые из представленных памятников демонстрируются впервые.

Pissarro

4th June 2013 - 15th September 2013
Thyssen - Bornemisza Museum (Madrid, Spain)

In the summer of 2013 the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza will be presenting the first monographic exhibition in Spain on the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro (1830-1903). A key figure within Impressionism (he wrote the movement’s foundational letter and was the only one of its artists to take part in all eight Impressionist exhibitions from 1874 to 1886), Pissarro was nonetheless eclipsed by the enormous popularity of his friends and colleagues, in particular Claude Monet. The exhibition includes more than 70 works with the aim of restoring Pissarro’s reputation and presenting him as one of the great pioneers of modern art. Landscape, the genre that prevailed in his output, will be the principal focus of this exhibition, which offers a chronologically structured tour of the places where the artist lived and painted: Louveciennes, Pontoise and Éragny, as well as cities such as Paris, London, Rouen, Dieppe and Le Havre. While Pissarro is traditionally associated with the rural world, to which he devoted more than three decades of his career, at the end of his life he shifted his attention to the city and his late output is dominated by urban views. Curated by Guillermo Solana, this exhibition will subsequently be shown at the CaixaForum, Barcelona.

55th International Art Exhibition

1.06 - 24.11.2013

http://www.labiennale.org

The Encyclopedic Palace

The 55th International Art Exhibition will take place in Venice from June 1st to November 24th, 2013 at the Giardini and at the Arsenale (preview: May 29th, 30th and 31st  2013), as well as in various venues the city.   The title chosen by curator Massimiliano Gioni for the 55th International Art Exhibition is: Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace. Massimiliano Gioni introduced the choice of theme evoking the artist self-taught Italian-American Marino Auriti that“on November 16, 1955 filed a design with the US Patent office depicting his Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace), an imaginary museum that was meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite. Auriti’s plan was never carried out, of course, but the dream of universal, all-embracing knowledge crops up throughout history, as one that eccentrics like Auriti share with many other artists, writers, scientists, and prophets who have tried - often in vain - to fashion an image of the world that will capture its infinite variety and richness.”
