  • Interiors and Interiority in Vermeer: Empiricism, Subjectivity, Modernism
    ARTICLE Received 20 Feb 2017 | Accepted 11 May 2017 | Published 12 Jul 2017 DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 OPEN Interiors and interiority in Vermeer: empiricism, subjectivity, modernism Benjamin Binstock1 ABSTRACT Johannes Vermeer may well be the foremost painter of interiors and interiority in the history of art, yet we have not necessarily understood his achievement in either domain, or their relation within his complex development. This essay explains how Vermeer based his interiors on rooms in his house and used his family members as models, combining empiricism and subjectivity. Vermeer was exceptionally self-conscious and sophisticated about his artistic task, which we are still laboring to understand and articulate. He eschewed anecdotal narratives and presented his models as models in “studio” settings, in paintings about paintings, or art about art, a form of modernism. In contrast to the prevailing con- ception in scholarship of Dutch Golden Age paintings as providing didactic or moralizing messages for their pre-modern audiences, we glimpse in Vermeer’s paintings an anticipation of our own modern understanding of art. This article is published as part of a collection on interiorities. 1 School of History and Social Sciences, Cooper Union, New York, NY, USA Correspondence: (e-mail: [email protected]) PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | 3:17068 | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 | www.palgrave-journals.com/palcomms 1 ARTICLE PALGRAVE COMMUNICATIONS | DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2017.68 ‘All the beautifully furnished rooms, carefully designed within his complex development. This essay explains how interiors, everything so controlled; There wasn’t any room Vermeer based his interiors on rooms in his house and his for any real feelings between any of us’.

Generous private collectors have loaned two- and three-dimensional works by sculptors with international reputations such as Isamu Noguchi, Claes Oldenburg, Arnaldo Pomodoro and Mark di Suvero, among others, as well as pieces by venerated Cleveland artists such as Viktor Schreckengost, William McVey, Edris Eckhardt and David E. Davis. Collectors have also loaned valuable works by local artists David Deming, Robert Thurmer, Terry Durst, Bruce Biro and Andrew Chakalis. The exhibition will open December 17, 2004 and run through January 21, 2005. The opening night reception will take place December 17 from 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm and will feature a gallery talk by the curator, noted art historian Professor Edward J. Olszewski.

  • Art Forgery and Fakes
    Art Forgery and Fakes What percentage of the art in museums would you guess are fakes? According to some estimates, it could be 20%. Particularly with old masters, it is often difficult to distinguish the authentic from the fake without extensive forensic analysis and the keen eyes of experts. Despite modern technology, the market remains riddled with forged masterpieces. Sometimes, a painting that has been attributed to a famous painter turns out to be the work of his/her apprentice. In 2009, the Prado Museum in Madrid announced that Colossus, long attributed to Francisco Goya, was probably painted by his apprentice. Colossus Frequently, paintings originally thought to be the work of a highly regarded artist are actually the work of expert forgers who are trying to dupe museums and collectors. Franco Modigliani, who died impoverished at the age of 35, is one of the most frequently forged artists in history. Partly because of his easily replicable style and partly because his paintings can garner extremely high prices, forging his works has been a temptation worldwide. His 1917 Nu Couché sold at Sotheby’s in 2018 for $157.2 million, at the time the fourth highest price paid for a piece of art at auction. In 2017, Genoa’s Ducal Palace hosted an exhibit of 21 of what were believed to be Modigliani paintings. Of the 21, 20 were determined to be fakes. The exhibit was shut down and the paintings turned over to police for investigation. Today, the investigation is ongoing. The police have said that they have identified suspects: an artist who may have forged them, two collectors, including an American who procured most of the works, the head of the organization who organized the exhibit and the curator.

  • Dutch Art, 17Th Century
    Dutch Art, 17th century The Dutch Golden Age was a period in the history of the Netherlands, roughly spanning the 17th century, in which Dutch trade, science, military, and art were among the most acclaimed in the world. The first section is characterized by the Thirty Years' War, which ended in 1648. The Golden Age continued in peacetime during the Dutch Republic until the end of the century. The transition by the Netherlands to the foremost maritime and economic power in the world has been called the "Dutch Miracle" by historian K. W. Swart. Adriaen van Ostade (1610 – 1685) was a Dutch Golden Age painter of genre works. He and his brother were pupils of Frans Hals and like him, spent most of their lives in Haarlem. A01 The Painter in his Workshop 1633 A02 Resting Travelers 1671 David Teniers the Younger (1610 – 1690) was a Flemish painter, printmaker, draughtsman, miniaturist painter, staffage painter, copyist and art curator. He was an extremely versatile artist known for his prolific output. He was an innovator in a wide range of genres such as history, genre, landscape, portrait and still life. He is now best remembered as the leading Flemish genre painter of his day. Teniers is particularly known for developing the peasant genre, the tavern scene, pictures of collections and scenes with alchemists and physicians. A03 Peasant Wedding 1650 A04 Archduke Leopold Wilhelm in his gallery in Brussels Gerrit Dou (1613 – 1675), also known as Gerard and Douw or Dow, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, whose small, highly polished paintings are typical of the Leiden fijnschilders.

  • «Beauty Is the True Scandal in Today's Art»
    6/28/2018 "Beauty is the true scandal in today's art" | NZZ INTERVIEW «Beauty is the true scandal in today's art» Wolfgang Beltracchi has made a career as an art forger and was convicted. Now he leads a second life as an artist with his own handwriting. He keeps little of the genius cult - as well as of the international art scene, which celebrates the ugly above all. In a big interview he disenchanted the myths of the art business. René Scheu 26.6.2018, 05:30 clock Mr. Beltracchi, when you perform or exhibit, people come in droves. Then fall reliably the predicates "master counterfeiters" or "century counterfeiters". What sound do these words have for you? Oh. Hm. "Master" is not bad. (Consider.)
