  • Âme D'automne (Autumn Soul)
    Armand Point (French 1860 - 1932) Âme d’Automne (Autumn Soul) Pastel on brown paper. Signed APoint at the lower right. 483 x 645 mm. (19 x 25 3/8 in.) This beautiful pastel portrait was exhibited by Armand Point, with the title Âme d’Automne, at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts on the Champ de Mars in Paris in 1893. A contemporary photograph of the exhibition shows the present work hanging alongside nine other highly finished pastel paintings of young women by the artist. All of the works shown by Point at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts of 1893 were much admired by critics, and two of the pastels were purchased by the State. The model for this pastel portrait was Point’s companion and muse, Hélène Linder (1867-1955), who met the artist around 1886. Linder posed for several of his finest paintings, drawings, pastels and prints of the 1890’s. As the Point scholar Robert Doré has noted of the artist, ‘his observations focused on Hélène...she remained his preferred model until the end of the century...She was above all the inspiration and muse of Armand Point who would, thanks to her, know a period of exceptional creativity.’ Hélène Linder and Point lived together at Marlotte for nearly eight years. This period, as Doré has noted, accounts for some of ‘the artist’s finest works [in] the most brilliantly creative period in his career. These works are a testament to the deep tenderness that unified them, and the enthusiasm they shared in Marlotte.’ Point and Linder remained together until 1899, when Hélène met and eventually married the diplomat Philippe Berthelot.

  • The Presence of Death in Gustave Moreau's Paintings1
    The Presence of Death in Gustave Moreau’s Paintings1 Zühre İndirkaş Université d’Istanbul THIS WORK WAS SUPPORTED BY THE RESEARCH PROJECT COORDINATION Synergies UNIT OF STANBUL NIVERSITY ROJECT NUMBER I U . P : 4585 Turquie Résumé: La présence de la mort dans les oeuvres de Gustave Moreau L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la présence de la mort dans les 69-78 n° 3 - 2010 pp. oeuvres de Gustave Moreau. Même si Gustave Moreau est considéré parmi les représentants du courant symboliste dans la peinture française du 19e siècle, de nos jours, les historiens d’art le considèrent comme un peintre d’histoire (Peinture d’Histoire). Dans les deux contextes, les images sont les reflets de ses pensées, son imagination et son caractère émotionnel.Cette situation lui permet de réfléchir sur la mort et la vie étérnelle pour les refléter dans ses oeuvres. Mots-clés : Gustave Moreau, la mort, mythologie, Oedipe, Sphinx, peinture d’histoire Özet: Gustave Moreau’nun Yapıtlarında Ölüm Gustave Moreau 19. Yüzyıl Fransız resminde sembolist akımın temsilcileri arasında yer almışsa da günümüz sanat tarihçileri tarafından tarih ressamı (Peinture d’Histoire) olarak değerlendirilir. Her iki bağlamda da Moreau’nun yapıtlarında yer alan görsel imgeler; onun inançlarının, düşüncelerinin, imgeleminin ve huzursuz kişilik yapısının yansımalarıdır. Bu durum onun sıklıkla ölüm ve ölümsüzlük üzerinde düşünmesine ve bunu yapıtlarına yansıtmasına neden olmuştur. “Oidipus ve Sfenks”, “Yolcu (Oidipus Yolcu; Ölümün Karşısında Eşitlik)”, “Genç Adam ve Ölüm”, “Ölü Şairi Taşıyan Kentaur” ölüm kavramının belirgin olarak ortaya çıktığı yapıtlardır. Özellikle “Ölü Lirler” sanatçının ve sanatının bir ağıtı (requiem) olarak nitelendirilir. Öte yandan “Ölüm Turnuvanın Galibini Taçlandırıyor”da ölüm tümüyle tuale egemendir.

  • PRESS RELEASE Gustave Moreau Museum 14, Rue De La Rochefoucauld 75009 Paris Tel: 01 48 74 38 50 Facebook
    PRESS RELEASE Street Art at the Gustave Moreau Museum: Codex invites himself into Gustave’s home. Hybrid bestiaries The Street Artist, Codex Urbanus, will take up residence in the Gustave Moreau Museum for the Long Night of Museums. From 18 to 30 May 2016, his own bestiary-themed works will meet those of Gustave Moreau. From 7pm to 11pm on Saturday 21 May the artist will also present a live performance. Codex Urbanus, Lernean Hydra © N.Adet Guest artist: Codex Urbanus Codex Urbanus was originally the title of a Street Art project, over a series of nights an outlaw bestiary was painted on the walls of Paris’ 18th arrondissement. This urban manuscript – or Codex Urbanus in Latin – presented a host of strange chimera and fantastical animals and brought the artist to the attention of the general public. Consequently he adopted the title as his artist’s name. Codex Urbanus shares Gustave Moreau’s taste for dreams, imagination and Symbolism. He is part of a community of incorrigible dreamers who exist on the margins of the contemporary art scene, portraying timeless legends and imagined creatures in their own tattoo art, cartoon strips and, of course, urban art. This movement is filled with a heartfelt desire to return to the Gustave Moreau Museum media of drawing and painting. Its graffiti and street artists 14, rue de la Rochefoucauld provide us with uninhibited views of monsters, imagined 75009 Paris cities and heroic characters displayed across the Tel: 01 48 74 38 50 wastelands and unused lots of the world’s urban centres. www.musee-moreau.fr It is a kind of Street Symbolism which follows naturally in Facebook: Musée Gustave the vein of Moreau’s work, reuniting artists with their Moreau imagination through the use of new media: in the streets, Twitter: @MuseeMoreau spray can and marker pen have now replaced oil paint and artist’s palette.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

Boatwright ___________________________ Caroline A. Bruzelius ___________________________ Richard J. Powell ___________________________ Kristine Stiles An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosopy in the Department of Art, Art History and Visual Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2010 Copyright by Marianne Eileen Wardle 2010 Abstract This dissertation presents a study of the Aphrodite Anadyomene type in its cultural and physical contexts. Like many other naked Aphrodites, the Anadyomene was not posed to conceal the body, but with arms raised, naked and unashamed, exposing the goddess’ body to the gaze. Depictions of the Aphrodite Anadyomene present the female body as an object to be desired. The Anadyomene offers none of the complicated games of peek-a- boo which pudica Venuses play by shielding their bodies from view. Instead, the goddess offers her body to the viewer’s gaze and there is no doubt that we, as viewers, are meant to look, and that our looking should produce desire.
