    Der Blaue Reiter (London, 25-26 Nov 11) Tate Modern, London, Nov 25–26, 2011 Deadline: Feb 28, 2011 Amber McClory Der Blaue Reiter - Call for papers 25 - 26 November 2011 This conference celebrates the centenary of the first exhibition of Der Blaue Reiter. This occasion presents a perfect opportunity to review and extend existing scholarship in the field of German Expressionist studies. The formation of what is commonly, though erroneously, referred to as the German Expressionist ‘artists’ group’ Der Blaue Reiter, was signalled on 18 December 1911 at the Galerie Thannhauser in Munich via an exhibition enigmatically entitled ‘The First Exhibition of the Editors of the Blaue Reiter’. This was the first of what turned out to be only two exhibitions held by an emergent group of avant-garde artists organised by Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. The title of the first exhibition pointed towards what was to be one of the artists’ most significant group achievements, the production of the almanac Der Blaue Reiter, published in Munich in 1912 by avant-garde supporter and publisher, Reinhard Piper. Der Blaue Reiter was a global project encompassing a variety of art forms and essays on an inter- national scale, including work as diverse as Japanese art, Russian folk art, children’s drawings, Bavarian glass painting and artworks by contemporary European artists, musicians and writers. Such diverse content suggests a number of related research questions that remain important to scholars, but that have not been previously addressed together. The conference will seek to estab- lish the divergent as well as related patterns of intention, outcome and influence presented under the name Der Blaue Reiter and explore its legacies for today.

This two-day event will establish divergent as well as related patterns of intention, outcome and influence presented under the name Der Blaue Reiter and explore its ongoing legacies and relevance today. In collaboration with University of Bristol and Cardiff School of Art and Design Supported by the British Academy and the Bristol Gallery 25 November 10:30 Welcome by Marko Daniel 10.35 Introduction by Dorothy Rowe and Christopher Short 10.45 Annegret Hoberg Overview of Blaue Reiter This paper draws an outline about the formation, development and activities of the Blaue Reiter movement. Beyond the structure of names and facts it points out the main specifics of the group: In which way it differs from the other artistic groupings of its time, like the German Expressionists around Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel, the Cubists around Pablo Picasso and George Braque, or the Italian Futurists. It points out this difference in the choice for the first Blaue Reiter exhibition in the Munich Galerie Thannhauser 1911/12, in the content of the Almanach and further writings of the protagonists, in the afterlife of their ideas and in their works. 11.25 Peter Vergo The Gesamtkunstwerk revisited: shape, form and appearance of the Blaue Reiter Almanac Like Jessica Horsley’s contribution that follows, this paper points to Kandinsky’s Russian sources of inspiration. It suggests that, while Wagner’s notion of the Gesamtkunstwerk was undoubtedly relevant to the ‘ Blue Rider idea’, Kandinsky probably owed what little he knew about Wagner to the Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, editor of the periodical The World of Art, another important precedent for Der Blaue Reiter.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Acquires Watershed Work by Paul Sérusier Painting Bridges Impressionism and Modern Art
    COMMUNICATIONS DIVISION VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Arthur Ashe Blvd. I Richmond, Virginia 23220 www.VMFA.museum/pressroom ++++++++++++++FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 27, 2020 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Acquires Watershed Work by Paul Sérusier Painting Bridges Impressionism and Modern Art Paul Sérusier, The Three-Pond Cottage at Le Pouldu, 1889. Collection of Virginia Museum of Fine Arts ​ ​ Richmond, Virginia––The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA) announced today that it has acquired The Three-Pond Cottage at Le Pouldu, an ambitious painting by Paul Sérusier (1864-1927), a pioneering Post-Impressionist who inspired ​ the Nabis art movement and helped revolutionize 19th-century French art. During the summer of 1888 Sérusier, a student at the Académie Julian, a renowned private art school in Paris, traveled to Pont-Aven (Brittany, northwestern France), a small artist enclave where Paul Gauguin agreed to take him as an apprentice. Rejecting the approach of Impressionists who focused on the light, color and shading to give visual dimension to a subject, Gauguin had already begun to distill subjects to their essence, formed by bold, flat planes of color and contour lines, a style that came to be known as Cloisonnism. Gauguin also delved into Synthetism, a style which sought to explore and visually convey poetry, spirituality and emotion. Working with Gauguin was a ​ transformative experience for Sérusier, helping him expand his own artistic vision. Sérusier returned to Paris with an unfinished work, created under Gaugin’s direction, that reduced a view of Aven River and the adjoining wooded area to its elemental components. The result was profoundly innovative, sensational and influential.

    LE CLAIRE KUNST SEIT 1982 ALFRED KUBIN 1877 Leitmeritz/Bohemia - Zwickledt/Upper Austria 1959 Mann mit abgeschnittener Nase Pen and black ink, wash and spray, watercolour and colour crayon on firm wove paper; c.1904-7. Signed lower right: Kubin. Inscribed in pencil at the lower left: Kopf mit abgeschnittener Nase. Annotated on the verso: Mein Werk Abb. 30 327 x 253 mm LITERATURE: Alfred Kubin, Dämonen und Nachtgesichte, Dresden 1926, fig. 30 EXHIBITION: Alfred Kubin, Kunstmuseum Winterthur 1986, no. 115, repr. p.115 This early drawing immediately evokes a sinister vision of terrifying intensity – a characteristically Kubinesque depiction of the human face. The head appears to be mummified and a gaping void indicates where the nose once was. The sparse hair with its receding hairline accentuates the outline of the mask-like face which has the strange shimmer of a fleshless skull. The drawing is loaded with undertones of death. Alfred Kubin makes frequent reference to his experience of death in his autobiography.1 His mother died when he was a boy and her early death undoubtedly left an indelible psychological legacy. He made his first drawings at about that time. Thematically, these early sheets show the emergence of a tendency towards exaggeration and a liking for visionary fantasy.2 A tremendous curiosity for eerie events guided his early art.3 The origins of his artistic development and later literary career date from a very early age.4 Kubin regarded this densely worked autonomous drawing as so important that he reproduced it in his early publication Dämonen und Nachtgesichte.

Their very particular kind of intensely colorful, expressive paint- ing, using a dense formal idiom that was moving toward abstraction, was based on a unique spiritual approach that opened up completely new possibilities for expression, ranging in style from a height- ened realism to abstraction.
