  • 2002 Kulturbericht
    2002 KULTURBERICHT BUNDESMINISTERIUM FÜR BILDUNG, WISSENSCHAFT UND KULTUR VORWORT 3 VORWORT m Bereich der kulturellen Institutionen des Bundes ist das Jahr 2002 durch die Ierfolgreiche Fortsetzung einer konsequenten Museumspolitik gekennzeichnet, die Mitte der 90er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts ihren Ausgang genommen hat und zu einem bestimmenden Faktor im Hinblick auf den Erhalt eines wesentlichen Teils des so reichen kulturellen Erbes Österreichs geworden ist. I Überlegungen, die Gesamtlandschaft der österreichischen Bundesmuseen einer- seits rechtlich neu zu regeln und andererseits für die bauliche Erhaltung und Renovierung der einzelnen Häuser zu sorgen, haben im Jahr 1998 zur Erarbeitung des so genannten „Museumsentwicklungsplans 2010“ geführt. Innerhalb eines guten Jahrzehnts sollten nicht nur die rechtlichen Rahmen- bedingungen für die Bundesmuseen in einer zukunftsträchtigen und nachhalti- gen Weise durch ein eigenes Bundesmuseen-Gesetz erstmals geregelt werden, sondern auch Vorsorge für den Ausbau dieser Kulturinstitutionen und für eine systematische Renovierungstätigkeit getroffen werden. Mit der Überleitung des Museums Moderner Kunst – Stiftung Ludwig Wien und der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek in die Vollrechtsfähigkeit (mit 1. Jänner 2002) ist dieses um- fassende Vorhaben bereits vor der geplanten Halbzeit des „Museumsentwick- lungsplans 2010“ sehr weit gediehen und wird mit der Vollrechtsfähigkeit des Naturhistorischen Museums Wien am 1. Jänner 2003 seinen Abschluss finden. Neben weiteren Substanzsicherungs- und Renovierungsarbeiten wird einer der Schwerpunkte des kommenden Jahres die Vorbereitung einer breit angelegten internationalen Evaluierung dieser wissenschaftlichen Anstalten sein. I Die Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, als Bewahrer des „Gedächtnisses der Nation“, hat die durch die neue Rechtssituation entstandenen Chancen und Möglichkeiten im autonomen Umgang mit Budget- und Personalfragen, aber auch im organisatorischen Bereich bereits im ersten Jahr bestens zu nutzen verstanden.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

  • Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age
    Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age Nicole Williams Honorary Guest Scholar and Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow (2019–2020) in the Department of Art History & Archaeology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis Global Vistas: American Art and Internationalism in the Gilded Age explores the importance of international travel and exchange to American art of the late nineteenth century, a period of transition for the United States marked by the rise of global trade, international tourism, massive waves of immigration, and forces of orientalism and imperialism. Through a selection of paintings, prints, photographs, and decorative arts from the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, as well as other collections at Washington University in St. Louis, this Teaching Gallery exhibition reveals how Americans increasingly defined their nation by looking to the foreign cultures and landscapes of Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Caribbean basin. They imbued their art with a modern, multicultural spirit that also announced the country’s emerging status as a global power. In the decades following the Civil War, many Americans eagerly turned away from recent violence at home toward new vistas of adventure and opportunity abroad. A boom in international travel was facilitated by improvements to communication and transportation networks, such as the laying of the first transatlantic cable, the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the opening of the Suez Canal, and the introduction of regular steamship service between San Francisco and Yokohama, Japan. Young American artists flocked to study in Europe’s great art centers, often staying overseas for many years and establishing vibrant expatriate communities.

He studied at the Accademia di San Luca, and then worked under Aurelio Tiratelli. He often travelled to the Paris Salon exhibitions and was influenced by the styles and orientalist themes expressed by painters like Mariano Fortuny, Ernest Meissonier, and Gérôme. He often travelled to the Maghreb for inspiration and developed a substantial collection of Islamic art and textiles. He also painted portraits in costume garb. He maintained studios in both Paris and Rome.

On display are reductions and enlargements of individual models; plaster casts produced for special purposes; sculptures in a variety of media; and works that exemplify the aesthetic differences in chasing and modeling techniques from 1800 to 1920.
