  • Correlations Between Creativity In
    1 ARTISTIC SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTIFIC ARTISTS: THE LINK BETWEEN POLYMATHY AND CREATIVITY ROBERT AND MICHELE ROOT-BERNSTEIN, 517-336-8444; [email protected] [Near final draft for Root-Bernstein, Robert and Root-Bernstein, Michele. (2004). “Artistic Scientists and Scientific Artists: The Link Between Polymathy and Creativity,” in Robert Sternberg, Elena Grigorenko and Jerome Singer, (Eds.). Creativity: From Potential to Realization (Washington D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2004), pp. 127-151.] The literature comparing artistic and scientific creativity is sparse, perhaps because it is assumed that the arts and sciences are so different as to attract different types of minds who work in very different ways. As C. P. Snow wrote in his famous essay, The Two Cultures, artists and intellectuals stand at one pole and scientists at the other: “Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension -- sometimes ... hostility and dislike, but most of all lack of understanding... Their attitudes are so different that, even on the level of emotion, they can't find much common ground." (Snow, 1964, 4) Our purpose here is to argue that Snow's oft-repeated opinion has little substantive basis. Without denying that the products of the arts and sciences are different in both aspect and purpose, we nonetheless find that the processes used by artists and scientists to forge innovations are extremely similar. In fact, an unexpected proportion of scientists are amateur and sometimes even professional artists, and vice versa. Contrary to Snow’s two-cultures thesis, the arts and sciences are part of one, common creative culture largely composed of polymathic individuals.

  • Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary
    Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.

  • Homage to Roberto Matta
    FIAC PARIS | BOOTH C29 | GRAND PALAIS | OCTOBER 17–20, 2019 At this year’s FIAC, in honor of the late Germana Matta, we will mount an Homage to Roberto Matta Paris was one of the principal residencies of Matta. The exhibition will therefore include parts of the archives and sketchbooks from Matta’s Parisian home. The core of the presentation consists of three highly important large scale works, executed between 1947 and 1958. It will be complemented by midsize works on canvas and paper as well as sculptures. Matta’s influence can be felt both in today’s Contemporary Art as well as in the Tech-World; his impact on fellow New York artists in the 1940’s was summarized by nobody other than Marcel Duchamp: “Still a young man, Matta is the most profound painter of his generation” MARCEL DUCHAMP, 1944 While the legendary MoMA curator and Picasso Scholar William Rubin had this to say about Matta: “Matta became the only painter after Duchamp to explore wholly new possibilities in illusionistic space” WILLIAM RUBIN, 1985 For more information on our FIAC exhibition and Matta please contact Mathias Rastorfer: [email protected] Additional works to be shown are by Yves Klein, Wifredo Lam, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Antonio Saura ABOUT GALERIE GMURZYNSKA Founded in Cologne in 1965, Galerie Gmurzynska has been a leading international art gallery specializing in masterpieces of both classic modern and post-war art for more than 50 years.

  • Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf
    ^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

  • A Fisherman on a Beach Watercolour and Gouache, with Framing Lines in Brown Ink
    Henri EVENEPOEL (Nice 1872 - Paris 1899) A Fisherman on a Beach Watercolour and gouache, with framing lines in brown ink. Stamped with the artist's monogram he in a circle (not in Lugt) at the lower right. The artist's monogram also applied to a label stamped PROVENANT DE LA COLLECTION and inscribed Charles De Mey, and further inscribed Pecheur sur la plage / de Henri Evenepoel and Je certifie cette / oeuvre authentique / C. De Mey. on the old backing board. 570 x 411 mm. (22 3/8 x 16 1/4 in.) Given its size, this large drawing would seem to have been intended as a design for a poster or advertisement, rather than a book illustration. As the artist's biographer Francis Hyslop has written, 'A born draftsman with an eye to a self-supporting career, Evenepoel took an intense interest in the graphic arts.' He greatly admired and collected posters, prints and magazine or newspaper illustrations by artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (whose studio he visited, and who he described as 'an artist of immense value…a complete artist'), as well as Jules Chéret, Jean-Louis Forain, Théophile- Alexandre Steinlen and Adolphe Willette. As a means of earning some income in the first years of his brief independent career, Evenepoel designed around a dozen posters. One such poster, advertising the ferry line linking Ostend and Tilbury in Essex, was published in 1893, and includes the same sort of blank cartouche with a curlicued corner seen in the present sheet. A similarly dressed fisherman appears in another gouache design for a poster by Evenepoel of c.1894, promoting the beach resort of Nieuport-Bains in Flanders.

  • De Chirico in the René Gaffé Collection& the Role of E.L.T Mesens
    The archival materials cited in this essay are courtesy of The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles 43 De Chirico in the René Gaffé Collection & the Role of E.L.T Mesens (Brussels – London) Victoria Noel-Johnson In 1946, René Gaffé (Brussels, 1887-1968) – the Belgian journal- ist, author, collector and bibliophile - wrote a short monograph dedicated to Giorgio de Chirico entitled Giorgio de Chirico. Le voy- ant (Éditions La Boétie, Brussels, fig. 1).1 Published in Gaffé’s na- tive city, the book contains an extensive yet overlooked essay about de Chirico’s early Metaphysical work, as well as a total of 24 black and white reproductions of important paintings executed in the 1910s and 1920s. As an important connoisseur and collector of de Chirico’s œuvre, together with work by Belgian Surrealists such as René Magritte and Paul Delvaux, this article will principally focus on Gaffé’s keen interest in de Chirico, which, in turn, helped disseminate knowledge about his painting within Belgium during fig. 1 R. Gaffé, Giorgio de Chirico. Le 2 the early twentieth century. As his impressive art collection was Voyant, Éditions La Boétie, Brussels, 1946 built and then partly sold off with the intervention of Eduoard Léon Théodore Mesens (Brussels, 1903-1971), a Belgian gallerist and editor who championed Surrealism in Belgium and later in the UK (mainly initiated by the 1937 sale of a substantial part of Gaffé’s collection to the British collector Roland Penrose), this paper will also examine Mesens’ involvement in the acquisition and sale of Gaffé’s de Chiricos.3 1 This article is the expanded and revised version of the article Le voyant: analyse des liens entre René Gaffé et Giorgio de Chirico, in Giorgio de Chirico.

  • Logie. Hierhin Gehört U. A. Rembrandts Berühmte „Faust-Radierung“, Deren „Held" Als Magus Von Der Art Prosperos Gedeutet Wird
    logie. Hierhin gehört u. a. Rembrandts berühmte „Faust-Radierung“, deren „Held" als Magus von der Art Prosperos gedeutet wird. Im letzten Kapitel des Buches befaßt sich Hartlaub mit dem Spiegel als Symbol, wobei vor allem die Lehre von der Lichtverwandschaft und insbesondere der Sonnen- haftigkeit des Gerätes betont wird. Hier erscheint der Spiegel bald als Sinnbild der Lauterkeit und Jungfräulichkeit Mariä, bald als Zeichen der Sünde, der „Eitelkeit“, der „Vanitas“ und zwar als Selbstverliebtheit oder Vergänglichkeit. Zumal in den Werken der altdeutschen Maler tritt immer wieder die dirnenhaft geschmückte, nackte Frau mit dem Spiegel auf, am eindrucksvollsten bei Baldung, wo sich das Thema mit dem Motiv des Totentanzes verbindet. Der Spiegel ist aber auch das Sinnbild der Klugheit, einer der vier Kardinaltugen­ den, wobei seine Gesichte nun mehr aus dem lichten, solaren Aspekt des Gerätes stammen. Wie im Text, soist auch in den Anmerkungen und Exkursen eine erstaunliche Fülle an kunst- und kulturhistorischem Wissen ausgebreitet.

Je devins peu certain de la profondeur des campagnes, très peu persuadé de l’éloignement du bleu léger de l’horizon, l’expérience immédiate le situant simplement à la hauteur de mes yeux. J’étais dans le même état d’innocence que l’enfant qui croit pouvoir saisir de son berceau l’oiseau qui vole dans le ciel. Paul Valéry a ressenti ce même état devant la mer qui, dit-il, « se dresse devant les yeux du spectateur » […] Il me fallait maintenant animer ce monde qui, même en mouvement, n’avait aucune profondeur et avait perdu toute consistance. Je songeai alors que les objets eux-mêmes devaient révéler éloquemment leur existence et je recherchai comment je pourrais rendre manifeste la réalité.

Dans ses années de formation à l’Académie Royale de Bruxelles, Magritte, qui commençait déjà une habitude de se lier d’amitié avec des poètes et écrivains, avait collaboré au comité de rédaction de la revue Au Volant des frères Bourgeois (1919).
