  • Japanese Aesthetics and Gustav Klimt: in Pursuit of a New Voice Svitlana Shiells
    Strand 2. Art Nouveau and Politics in the Dawn of Globalisation Japanese Aesthetics and Gustav Klimt: In Pursuit of a New Voice Svitlana Shiells Abstract At the end of the nineteenth century, Japonisme—an artistic lingua franca—became one of the most organic, overarching components of Gustav Klimt’s new art. This paper draws parallels between Gustav Klimt’s Portrait of Sonja Knips and It ō Jakuch ū’s print Golden Pheasant and Bamboo in Snow . The discovery of an unexpectedly close dialogue between Klimt and Jakuch ū and the striking similarity of the formal language of the two works supports the paper’s thesis that It ō Jakuch ū’s print is the primary source of influence behind the conception and execution of the portrait and, by extension, that Klimt’s engagement with Japanese stimuli is one of the main engines behind his creative pursuit, starting at the end of the 1890s. This discovery challenges preconceived notions and existing concepts and illustrates the impossibility of understanding Klimt’s heritage comprehensively and adequately without examining the role of Japonisme in it. Keywords: Gustav Klimt, Japonisme, It ō Jakuch ū, the Vienna Secession, ukiyo-e prints. 1 In the wake of the World Fair of 1873 in Vienna, a strong wave of Japonisme permanently re- shaped the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. According to Hermann Bahr, the Viennese encountered the presence of “Japonisme in all the arts,” which were “impossible to understand without bearing in mind the influence of Japanese art.” 1 Japonisme indeed became a Zeitgeist in fin de siècle Vienna and, in the visual arts, Gustav Klimt was its main advocate.

  • Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592
    The Evolution of Expressionism In Turn-of-the-Century Vienna: Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592 1 1 Until 1897, Classicism in Viennese high art had served as a mimetic construct of the elite society who were both art's staunchest supporters and the purveyors of moral and philosophical values that served as it's staple of judgment. In the following years, from 1898 to 1918, were revolutions of both natures, political and philosophical. The artistic transformation from the Classicism of the Habsburg Monarchy to the expressionism of the Cafe "Nihilism" could be seen most obviously in two of Vienna's foremost artists of the time, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. This paper seeks to compare and contrast the works of these two artists who seem to crystallize the moral, social, political, and artistic upheaval of early Twentieth Century Vienna. It lS fitting that Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele died six months from one another, both of the Spanish influenza, and both in 1918. It is important to note that even though stylistic variables call for their ultimate contrast, they loved and admired one another, and they both stood for the values that defined Secessionism. Their proximity in philosophy makes it all the more profound to discover their differences. In Klimt came classical objectivity housed in a contemporary conceptual framework. In Schiele came the shift to brutal subjectivity that pushed the limits of this framework. Even though, as will be discussed, the similarity of the subject matter seems to remain a constant, the execution becomes the variable upon which the change becomes dependent.

  • 81 Million People in All Danube Countries Are Invited to ‘Get Active for the Rivers’ on 29 June As Part of the Celebrations for the 7Th Annual Danube Day
    Danube Day 2010: call for action and cross-border co-operation Vienna, 25 June – 81 million people in all Danube countries are invited to ‘Get Active for the Rivers’ on 29 June as part of the celebrations for the 7th annual Danube Day. The main goal of this year’s celebration is to engage people and to emphasize the connections between the countries and the water conservation interests of all inhabitants. Danube Day is coordinated by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR). “In order to sustain the Danube rivers today, and for the benefit of future generations, people in every sector of society must join a united effort,” says Philip Weller, Executive Secretary of the ICPDR, “After the devastating floods, which hit the region heavily some weeks ago, it is important to emphasize the connectivity between all countries and the need to for integrated water management.” Danube Day celebrations are organized by governmental and non-governmental institutions, companies and schools. A long-standing partner is also the ‘Green Danube Initiative’ composed of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group, The Coca-Cola Company and the ICPDR. Doros Constantinou, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Hellenic explains, “We at Coca-Cola Hellenic are totally committed in helping to protect the environment. The vital significance of the Danube cannot be over stated. Older than the Rhine, it is the main source of water for millions of people; is a vital ecological hotspot in Europe as well as an important international waterway.” The emphatic call for action this year is part of a continuing, multinational effort to protect and preserve the iconic Danube River and its tributaries, as well as the areas through which they flow.

  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

  • EXHIBITION: the Temptations of James Ensor Works from 1888 to 1940
    EXHIBITION: The temptations of James Ensor Works from 1888 to 1940 Samuel Vanhoegaerden Gallery is pleased to show at Brafa 2020 an extraordinary collection of works by James Ensor gathered for the first time James Ensor, Ballerines muées en marguerites, huile sur toile, 1936 James ENSOR, genius and founder of modern art James Ensor is one of Belgium's most important artists, belonging in the same list as Van Eyck, Rubens, Bruegel and Magritte. His works are of great rarity (he painted only around 850 works) and a large portion of them have already found a place in the world's largest museums. Ensor's importance cannot be overestimated. His name appears in all works on modern art and he was groundbreaking in his manner of painting. James Ensor paved the way for the emergence of Expressionism, Dada ism and Surrealism, among others, and even today, artists like Pierre Alechinsky and Luc Tuymans are indebted to his work. Over the years, the art market has increasingly realized just how decisive Ensor was for art history, and he is increasingly appreciated internationally. Already during his lifetime, and to this day, exhibitions of his works continue to be held in the worl d's most important museums (the latest including the MOMA, the Getty Museum and the Musée d'Orsay) and research into his work continues to expand. The market for his paintings and drawings is slowly drying up as these works find their way to museum collections, and with the few available paintings remaining family-owned. James Ensor's work is timeless and continues to amaze and delight every generation.
