Brouwer worked in Haarlem and Amsterdam before joining the Antwerp painters’ guild. His extraordinary flair for human comedy earned him the esteem of Ruben and Rembrandt. He contributed to the development of the genre of tronies, i.e. head or facial studies. Adriaen Brouwer was an innovator. His paintings were vivid depictions of peasants, soldiers and other low class individuals engaged in drinking and smoking, card playing, fighting, music making in taverns or rural settings. Brouwer was an active painter in the Dutch Republic in the first half of the 17th century. He also produced few landscapes of tragic intensity, few years before his death. Brouwer was born in Oudenaarde in Flanders in 1605. His father Adriaen worked as a tapestry designer in Oudenaarde. His father died in poverty when Brouwer was only 15 years old. Brouwer worked in Antwerp. By March 1625, he registered in Amsterdam where he lived with painter Barent Van Someren. Brouwer was very active in the Chamber of Rhetoric in Haarlem. The motto of this amateur literary circle was “In love above all else”. In 1631, Brouwer returned to Flanders where he was registered as a master in the Antwerp Guild of St Luke. The artist continued to work in Antwerp and produced some of his best paintings. Yet, he got into bad times and incurred huge debts. The artist’s name regularly shows up in Antwerp records in connection with arrangements for his various debts. (WP). In 1633 Brouwer was jailed in the Citadel of Antwerp for tax evasion. Some records say that he was arrested for political reasons because the local authorities may have considered him to be a spy for the Dutch Republic. The operation of the bakery in Antwerp citadel was in the hands of baker and painter Jos Van Caesbeeck. Caesbeeck genre scenes depict low-life figure as well as scenes of middle class people. Brouwer’s paintings have similarities to Caesbeeck’s paintings. On 26th April 1634, Brouwer took up lodgings in the house of prominent engraver Paulus Pontius. Both joined the local Chamber of Rhetoric Violieren. Brouwer and his artist friends spent a lot of time partying in local pubs. Brouwer painted a tavern scene called “The Smokers”: which included a self –portrait together with Jan Cossiers, Jan Lievens, Caesbeeck and Jan Davidz. Brouwer was a highly respected admired painter by his colleagues and contemporaries. In fact Ruben owned 17 works of Brouwer. Even Rembrandt had paintings by Brouwer in his collection. In January 1638, Brouwer died in Antwerp. A month after his death, his body was re-interred in the Carmelite Church on 1st February 1638. Adriaen van de Venne The world is still in the grip of barbarism and poverty. You can see it near Oxford campus in London or in Manhattan, NY city. Painters and writers have tried to focus on this evil in society from early times. Poverty persists. It pushes a woman to resort to immoral strides to feed the family, and the men to become thieves. All for survival, not of the fittest but the worst. Some painters, right from the 17th century tried to educate the society and the rulers on the need to eradicate poverty. Who cares? Even the so-called champions of Dalits are the ones exploiting his own brothers and sisters for improving his social status and happy to see them struggling for decent living. It is a very sad truth that most of the people who are born in poverty, live and die in poverty. One of the earliest who focused on this topic was the 17th century Dutch painter Van de Venne. His painting showing a man in rags carrying a child on his back indicates that poverty rides on ones back and never leaves him until he dies. And the child continues to rot on earth and subsequently faces death due to starving. Van de Venne was born in Delft in 1589. He learned to paint from the master goldsmith and painter Simon de Valk. He also learnt engraving from Jeronimus van Dies, a famous painter of grisailles. He moved to Middelburg in 1614, where he was influenced by Jan Brueghel and Pieter Brueghel. Both are Flemish painters and draughtsman. Van’s political painting “Fishing for Souls” in 1614 is an ironic commentary on Catholic and Protestant troubles of the Eighty Years War that split the border between Northern and Southern Netherlands along the Schuler river, close to his home in Middlebury(WP). From 1620 until his death, Van de Venne made many grisailles and engravings featuring peasants, beggars, thieves and fools as illustrations of current proverbs and sayings by Jacob Cats (Where the wine is in, the wit is out; as you sow, so shall you reap: JC). These works made him very famous. Van de Venne also worked as a book illustrator and print designer. He moved to The Hague and joined the Guild of Saint Luke in 1625 and assumed office as Dean in 1637. He was a founding member of “Confrerie Pictura, a group devoted to improving the status and social position of artists in Dutch society. After a distinguished career as a great painter and engraver, Venne died on 12th November 1662 in The Hague at the age of 73. Armin Mersmann German artist Armin Mersmann is known for naturalistic graphite drawings. His work has been featured in more than 200 exhibitions. He also works in photography and encaustic wax which is more abstract than his drawings. He is a great technician who creates incredibly realistic images in graphic pencil with emotion and soul. His artworks are alive and they speak to “us in the language that words alone cannot express”. Mersmann has won over 50 awards in juried exhibitions, both state wide and nationally. He has a massive following of artists who admire and respect his work as they strive to follow his footsteps. Early life Armin was born in Remscheid, Germany in 1955. In 1962 his parents immigrated to US along with him. Armin had initial training in painting from his father Fritz who was also a painter. He spent six years in college and began a successful stint as portrait artist in Chicago. He soon stopped commission work and found more interest in the fine arts. He worked many long and hard years to become a master artist. He continues to challenge himself even further with every single artwork he creates. Mersonn has taught drawing, the creative process, iPhonegraphy and advanced critique at the American Academy of Art, Chicago IL, the Colorado Academy of Art, Boulder Co, Northwood University, Midland MI and the Midland Center for Arts. He conducts regular workshops within the US. He lives in Midland MI where he is the Senior Visual Art Curator and Artist in Residence at Midland Center for Arts. He shares a studio with his wife Valeris Allen who is also an accomplished artist in her own right. Arpita Singh Arpita Singh is an Indian artist. She was born in 1937 at Baragnagar, Kolkata. She is well known for her creativity and ingenious presentation. Her paintings put across a contemporary woman’s point of view. “Her paintings reveal the inner world, their perspective and aspirations. Both comic and tragic (elements) are interchangeable and interwoven in her works. An element of tension inbuilt in them reflects a realm, part naïve and part real as she portrays the space of women in the social structure… The artist often deftly inserts simple objects, such as guns, flowers, telephones to convey her viewpoint”. Her work includes traditional Indian Art forms and aesthetics like miniaturist paintings and different forms of folk art employing them in her work regularly. In 1946, Arpita’s mother with her son and daughter went to Kolkata when the country was in turmoil. In 1962, Arpita married a fellow artist Paramjit Singh. They have a daughter, artist Anjum Singh. Arpita Singh began her professional career in the 1960’s. She was a founder member of the artist group “The Unknown” with other members of the alumni of the department of Fine Arts of Delhi Polytechnic.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

As Moggach does not confi ne herself only to the aforementioned essay by Herbert, I will also refer to other essays from the volume as well as to the essay Mistrz z Delft which comes from the collection of the same title. Keywords: Deborah Moggach, Zbigniew Herbert, novel, essay, Dutch paintings, intertextuality, intermediality. Zbigniew Herbert’s essay The Bitter Smell of Tulips comes from the collection Still Life with a Bridle which is a part of the trilogy that, apart from the afore- mentioned collection of essays, consists of two other volumes: Labyrinth on the Sea and Barbarian in the Garden. In each of the volumes, in the form of a very personal account of his travels, Herbert spins a yarn of European culture and civi- lization. Labyrinth on the Sea focuses on the history and culture of ancient Greece and Rome whereas in Barbarian in the Garden Herbert draws on the whole spec- trum of subjects ranging from the prehistoric paintings on the walls of the cave in Lascaux, through the Gothic cathedrals and Renaissance masterpieces, to the stories about the Albigensians and the persecution of the Knights of the Templar Order.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

Master Drawings of the Baroque, from May 1st, 2013 onwards. Besides its main focus on painted oil sketches, the Rossacher Collection includes a bundle of works drawn on paper. The Kupferstichkabinett of the Alte Galerie houses more than 400 freehand drawings. This exhibition comprises carefully selected works from both collections. With a few exceptions, the Baroque hand drawing should not be seen an artwork in its own right. It was primarily a form of preparation and design for another artistic medium. Accordingly, the exhibition is divided by areas of design – for altars, for ceiling and wall paintings, as well as for altar pieces and copper engravings. The works are often striking as individual works in their vivid, spontaneous and modern-seeming strokes.
