  • Matejko, Jan Jan Alojzy Matejko (1848–1893) Was a Polish Painter, Draughtsman, Portraitist, and Representa- Tive of Historicism and Academism in European Painting
    47 Mastema 48 Matejko, Jan Jan Alojzy Matejko (1848–1893) was a Polish painter, draughtsman, portraitist, and representa- tive of historicism and academism in European painting. He created numerous religious and sacred paintings, and was the originator of the national Polish school of historical painting. Matejko initially wanted to become a religious painter and considered sacred painting his calling. However, after the defeat of the Polish January Up- rising (1863/4), he turned more towards historical painting – a move significantly influenced by Józef Szujski, co-founder of the so-called Kraków School of History. Matejko made numerous artistic journeys, visit- ing the following art centers in Europe: Paris (in 1867, 1870, 1878, 1880), Vienna (in 1866, 1867, 1870, 1872, 1873, 1882, 1888), Istanbul/I˙stanbul (1872), Prague and Budapest (1873), and Venice, Rome, and Florence (1878/1879 and 1883). He suc- cessfully exhibited his paintings many times at pub- lic exhibitions outside Poland, in major cities of Eu- rope, including Paris, Vienna, Berlin, London, Prague, Budapest, and St. Petersburg. Matejko’s “religious” paintings can be divided into three groups. Firstly, he composed several dozen historical paintings (including large format Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception vol. 18 Marek Mariusz Tytko - 10.1515/ebr.matejkojan © WalterDownloaded de Gruyter, from Berlin/Boston, De Gruyter Online 2020 at 10/05/2020 10:54:34AM by [email protected] via Gary Helft 49 Matejko, Jan 50 paintings) with interwoven historical and philo-

  • Documentary Introduction to the Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills Donation for a Young Institution Like the Museo De Arte De Puerto Ri
    Documentary Introduction to the Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills Donation For a young institution like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR), the bequest of thirty artworks donated by Ángel Ramos and Tina Hills represents both a responsibility and a commitment, a commitment that binds the Museum to continue the visionary, nation-building work done by these two exemplary philanthropists for so many years. Ángel Ramos was a pioneer of modern media communications in Puerto Rico. From a family of few resources and little formal education, he began as a proofreader and layout man at El Mundo newspaper and went on to hold several management positions until, in 1946, he became its editor and owner. His professional career almost literally skyrocketed. Along the way he created publications such as Puerto Rico Ilustrado and Puerto Rico World Journal, owned radio stations, and pioneered television in Puerto Rico. To these accomplishments he added the creation of the Ángel Ramos Foundation in 1958, a philanthropic organization unparalleled in the history of Puerto Rico. Ángel Ramos was also a person of great aesthetic sensitivity, which led him to become a patron of outstanding artists and an exemplary collector. Tina (Argentina S.) Hills took on the responsibilities of the El Mundo family of businesses on the death of her husband, Ángel Ramos, and in 1966 she achieved his dream of completing the establishment of the Foundation that bears his name. Today, after a long career in newspapers, radio, television, and philanthropy, she is the president of the Ángel Ramos Foundation and has also continued, with untiring enthusiasm, to collect works of art from Puerto Rico and abroad.

Milton Avery Crucifixion, 1946 Oil on canvas Signed, titled, and dated in oil 44 x 34 in. Est. US$500,000−700,000 New York / Berlin / Paris, July 17, 2012—artnet Auctions presents the Fine Modern Art sale, a selection of over 30 important 20th century works by luminaries such as Milton Avery, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Angel Botello, Raoul Dufy, Jean Dubuffet, Pablo Picasso, and Henry Moore. Featured in the sale is Crucifixion (est. US$500,000–700,000), an oil on canvas by the American Modern master Milton Avery. The work was completed during a painting trip Avery took to Mexico in 1946. During his time in Mexico, he visited Frida Kahlo (Mexican, 1907–1954) and Diego Rivera (Mexican, 1886–1957), among other notable artists, and was inspired by the colors and shapes of the country’s landscape. Focusing on simple compositions and the profound role of object placement, these canvases were “infused with a great deal of poetry,” according to Avery’s wife Sally, who accompanied him on the trip. Crucifixion is a masterful example of Avery’s work at what is perhaps the most interesting stylistic stage of his career.

  • Polish Painting Between Historicism and Modernism
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Wasilewska, Joanna (Hrsg.): Poland - China : art and cultural heritage, Kraków 2011, S. 73-77 Maria Poprzgcka University of Warsaw Polish Painting between Historicism and Modernism In order to understand the specificity of the Polish art of the nineteenth century, it is worth recalling a few historical facts. Key among these is that throughout the nine­ teenth century Poland did not exist as an independent state. In the course of successive Partitions in the late eighteenth century, the Polish lands had been divided among Russia, Prussia and Austria. The three partitioning powers then proceeded, with vary­ ing degrees of severity, to denationalize their newly-gained territories. It was this lack of statehood in the nineteenth century that gave Polish art the exalted status of an upholder of national consciousness with the mission to consolidate the nation divided between three hostile states. In the words of a poet, artists were to exercise a “reign of souls” over the enslaved nation. The great prestige enjoyed by the towering Romantic Poets of the first half of the nineteenth century led to art being treated as a national religion and a path toward moral and national revival. The great hopes that accompanied the emergence of national painting stemmed from the belief thatthe medium was uniquely qualified to rouse and promote patriotic sentiment. National art obviously needed to be based on subjects taken from history. Historical painting was conceived as a sort of visual Bible of national consciousness. Hie growing hopes for a “Polish epic in painting were the most serious challenge with wruch the generation of artists coming of age around the mid-1800s had to contend, Sensational historicalromances devoid of any moral dimension popular in Western European painting of the time were inappropriate for such a purpose.
