Frequently tourists concentrate on collecting photographs or on handling digital devices, while reality moves out of focus. However, those unaware of their surroundings will not be capable of reproducing the spirit of a particular place in a photograph. This is why the one-year project The Perfect Tourist offers visitors to the Belvedere Gardens an opportunity to immortalise themselves in the Baroque ambience of the Lower and the Upper Belvedere with the aid of a specially designed mirror. Once the perfect picture has been taken, the perfect tourist can put the camera away and enjoy the beauty and power of the moment. A mirror measuring approximately 2 by 2.5 metres is positioned in the Belvedere Gardens halfway between the Upper and the Lower Belvedere in such a way that from a given mark and thanks to the principle of reflection both the Upper and the Lower Belvedere plus the spectator can be captured in a photograph. The installation thus meets the desire of tourists for a perfect photographic documentation of their the installation also addresses such notions as reflection and self-reflection and representation and self- representation century-old fundamental points of reference of artistic ambition. The photographer, help people take the perfect photograph at impressive places around the globe year after year, at the Belvedere Gardens. The next stops will be Sydney (Sydney Opera House) and Berlin (Brandenburg Gate). Jeff Koons - Hulk Upper Belvedere, Sala terrena 4 September 2014 to 4 October 2015 The Sala terrena in the Upper Belvedere is joined by another titan: Hulk (Friensds) by artist Jeff Koons will be supporting the four atlantes with his steel power. The stainless steel sculptures by US-artist Jeff Koons became popular in the art market not only for obtaining gigantic prices at auctions but also for the playfulness and lightness of these bronce giants, which became indispensable from the current art discourse. - rigid material. Their highly polished surfaces give them a sublime charisma, allowing also Hulk (Friends) to be integrated in the Sala terrena. From September, the action figure together with its comic-like friends will join the row of giants, enchanting visitors with its radiating power. Masterpieces in Focus Josef Dobrowsky Perception and Colour Upper Belvedere 17 September 2014 to 18 January 2015 In autumn 2014, the Belvedere will highlight the oeuvre of the Austrian painter Josef Dobrowsky (1889 1964), one of the most important Austrian artists of the interwar years and a trailblazer of Modernist painting in Austria, within the framework of the exhibition series Masterpieces in Focus. Appreciated by experts, his works have remained practically unknown to the general public. Born in Carlsbad (Karlovy Vary) in 1889, Dobrowsky moved to Vienna at the age of eleven, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1906 on under Christian Griepenkerl and Rudolf Bacher and joined the Vienna Secession influence, but are also indebted to Gustav Klimt, Ferdinand Hodler, and Albin Egger-Lienz. Starting around 1920, Dobrowsky took an interest in Dutch painting, especially in the work of Pieter Breughel the Elder, which is reflected in the warm, dark, and earthy colours of his works from this period. The characteristic employment of colour and light contrasts lends a melancholic atmosphere to his pictures, particularly to became more expressive, and he took to using brighter and more brilliant colours. During this phase, besides painting landscapes, he also increasingly devoted himself to portraiture and still life. Between 1946 and 1963 he taught the master class for painting at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, where, among others, Alfred Hrdlicka, Josef Mikl, and Wolfgang Hollegha numbered among his students. When Dobrowsky died in 1964, he left a comprehensive oeuvre, for which he had received numerous awards, such as the Grand Austrian State Prize in 1962. Masterpieces in Focus: Josef Dobrowsky - Perception and Colour will present the entire spectrum of this artist, who has so far received only insufficient recognition. Besides oil paintings, the exhibition will include drawings and outstanding watercolours. The exhibitions held within the series Masterpieces in Focus are realized with the kind support of the Dorotheum. Hagenbund A European Network of Modernism (1900 to 1938) Lower Belvedere 11 October 2014 to 1 February 2015 The Vienna artist association Hagenbund had a major impact both on the local and Central European art scene between the years 1900 and 1938. It brought together various styles and advanced as early as 1907 to become a leading association for modern art, soon moving beyond Secessionism to represent current trends ranging from Expressionism to New Objectivity. This artist association and its members established themselves through inclusive exhibition policies. Indeed, there was a group show featuring Hungarian, Polish, Czech, and German artists as early as 1907. The Hagenbund therefore represented an after 1918, it was the Hagenbund that provided innovative impulses. It was thanks to the Hagenbund that many fundamental exhibitions of modern art were staged one of the most unrecognized phenomena in Austrian art history. Hagenbund - A European Network of Modernism (1900 to 1938) aims to present this European network and its activities in an innovative way and to provide new perspectives on the development of Austrian modernism, especially between the two world wars. The show is not dedicated to the battle of the isms or classifying art according to formal criteria but addresses the influences and interactions between artists in Vienna, Prague, Munich, Budapest, Lemberg (Lviv), Bratislava, Cracow, and Trieste. This network analysis will for the first time be used as an art-historical tool to explore over nine historic exhibitions staged by the Hagenbund, thus conveying to the viewer this reevaluation of artistic developments in the interwar period. Furthermore, the show presents the interim findings of the two-year Belvedere research project, sponsored by the Österreichische Nationalbank, on the topic of European Network Hagenbund - 1900 to 1938. LOOKING AT MONET The Great Impressionist and His Influence on Austrian Art Orangery 24 October 2014 to 8 February 2015 From 24 October 2014 to 8 February 2015, the exhibition Looking at Monet in the Orangery of the Lower Belvedere will present icons of Impressionism within a survey unique across Europe, as well as their multiple impacts on domestic art production. Thanks to first-rate loans from around the globe, the exhibition will assemble key works by Claude Monet, some of which have never been on view in Austria. Eighteen years after its legendary Monet exhibition in 1996, the Belvedere will again be featuring the maste on Monet as a source of inspiration for contemporary artists who came to emulate his motifs and brushwork. Selected works by this pioneer of modernism will enter into a dialogue with those by Austrian reproduced in magazines and books and displayed in Vienna in exhibitions at the Künstlerhaus, the Secession, and the legendary Miethke Gallery. The large-scale exhibition The Development of Impressionism in Painting and Sculpture of 1903 at the Vienna Secession can be said to have been the most impressive among these shows.

  • The History of Modern Painting Volume 2
    The History of Modern Painting Volume 2 by Richard Muther The History Of Modern Painting BOOK III THE TRIUMPH OF THE MODERNS CHAPTER XVI THE DRAUGHTSMEN INASMUCH as modern art, in the beginning of its career, held commerce almost exclusively with the spirits of dead men of bygone ages, it had set itself in opposition to all the great epochs that had gone before. All works known to the history of art, from the cathedral pictures of Stephan Lochner down to the works of the followers of Watteau, stand in the closest relationship with the people and times amid which they have originated. Whoever studies the works of Dürer knows his home and his family, the Nuremberg of the sixteenth century, with its narrow lanes and gabled houses; the whole age is reflected in the engravings of this one artist with a truth and distinctness which put to shame those of the most laborious historian. Dürer and his contemporaries in Italy stood in so intimate a relation to reality that in their religious pictures they even set themselves above historical probability, and treated the miraculous stories of sacred tradition as if they had been commonplace incidents of the fifteenth century. Or, to take another instance, with what a striking realism, in the works of Ostade, Brouwer, and Steen, has the entire epoch from which these great artists drew strength and nourishment remained vivid in spirit, sentiment, manners, and costume. Every man whose name has come down to posterity stood firm and unshaken on the ground of his own time, resting like a tree with all its roots buried in its own peculiar soil; a tree whose branches rustled in the breeze of its native land, while the sun which fell on its blossoms and ripened its fruits was that of Italy or Germany, of Spain or the Netherlands, of that time; never the weak reflection of a planet that formerly had shone in other zones.

  • Friedrich Overbeck's 'Portrait'
    AUF DEN SPUREN DER NAZARENER: Re-reading Vittoria Caldoni: Friedrich Overbeck’s ‘Portrait’ in the Neue Pinakothek by Charles Davis One of the indubitable masterpieces of the somewhat uneven collection of paintings displayed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich is Johann Friedrich Overbeck’s seemingly perfect Vittoria Caldoni. During a recent Sunday morning visit to the museum, undertaken with the intention of looking at the Nazarene paintings in the collection, the portrait of Vittoria Caldoni exercised its curious fascination, and, as pictures often do, it appeared increasingly puzzling upon prolonged inspection. Only much later did I come across Keith Andrews’s conclusion to his brief commentary upon this painting in his seminal book of 1964, The Nazarenes, a work instrumental in reviving a more widespread interest in these long-neglected and often disparaged painters. Of Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni, the author writes: “The frontal disposition draws the spectator into the picture and forces him, intentionally, to seek a meaning beyond mere portrait representation” (pp. 113-114). Nowhere does Andrews enlarge upon what this ‘meaning’ might be, but nevertheless his observation, if inadvertently, corresponds to the agendum of the present essay. Although a book published in 2011 by the Akademie Verlag in Berlin describes Andrews as a ‘Scottish scholar’ and a ‘non-German art historian’, it might be remembered that he was born as Kurt Aufrichtig in Hamburg on 11 October 1920. 2 Friedrich Overbeck, Vittoria Caldoni, 1821. Neue Pinakothek, München Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni is universally referred to as her portrait, but, paradoxically, in his representation the artist is at pains to attribute to the young girl from Albano whom he portrays a social rôle in the world of work which she, in reality, did not perform.

  • Collectors' Marks
    EX LIBRIS Cooper Union Museum for the Arts of Decoration GIVEN BY Leo Wallers tein IN 1952 Collectors' Marks ARRANGED AND EDITED BY MILTON I. D. EINSTEIN OF NEW YORK AND MAX A. GOLDSTEIN PRESIDENT SAINT LOUIS ART LEAGUE The Laryngoscope Press saint LOUIS 1 9 18 A ra This copy is This edition is limited to 300 copies. Number .•5w?....??V DEC 3 1&3 sift Editors' Preface The publication of an unusual book justifies a state- ment of the reasons which promoted it. The discovery of its need affords the best apologia. Some years ago, a chance meeting with my collaborator elicited the mutual query: "Have you a copy of Fagan's Collectors' Marks?" We had reference to a little volume compiled and pub- lished at London in 1883, containing 671 'marks," and designated in Bourcard's Bibliography as "de toute rarete." We agreed that this excellent compendium deserved a place of honor in the literature of the Collector, and that the task of bringing it to more general notice was well worth the labor. As we ourselves had included this volume among our chief "desiderata," we believed that it would be esteemed by collectors generally, and therefore we decided to reprint the original and subjoin an appendix of the more recent "marks." Plans were developed for the publica- tion, correspondence was initiated with foreign museums, collectors and dealers, when, in an evil hour, the war supervened. Thereupon, the restrictions of censorship operated to place an embargo on all communications containing "marks" and ciphers, with the result that our appendix can be offered only in its fragmentary and incomplete state.
