  • Romantic Music for Harp
    ROMANTIC MUSIC FOR HARP Thomas • Smetana Tchaikovsky Zabel • Wagner Mendelssohn Pauline Haas 1 The Vision of a Dreamer by Pauline Haas A troubling landscape, the remains of an abbey, or maybe of a castle – the horizon in the distance stands out against the dusk. In the middle of the ruins, in the frame of an unglazed window, a young man is seated in profile. Is he dreaming? Is he doubting? Is he believing? The Dreamer is a journey of initiation: it is about Man travelling down his path of life pursued by his double, it is about an artist in pursuit of truth. I have contemplated this painting, seeing in it my own image as though in a mirror. I have created the image of this individual as a picture of my own dreams. I was his age when I made this recording – the age when one leaves childhood behind to enter the wider world and face up to oneself. I became conscious that the instrument lying against my shoulder, which had inspired so many poets and artists, but had been abandoned by musicians was, in my hands, like a blank page. I placed on my music stand, therefore, the traditional repertoire for the harp, other works considered inaccessible for the harpist, works which had long maintained a magical impact on me. I have woven a connecting thread between these works, nuancing the virgin whiteness of my page without managing to reach all the possible heights. Like a figure in a painting by Caspar David Friedrich this programme contemplates a distant horizon.

  • An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature,” the New York Times, May 22, 2009
    Genocchio, Benjamin. “An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature,” The New York Times, May 22, 2009. An Eye for Landscapes That Transcend Nature One’s lasting impression of the April Gornik exhibition at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington is the sheer virtuosity of the pictures. They glow with mystery and grandeur. Landscape painting of this quality is not often seen on Long Island. Assembled by Kenneth Wayne, the museum’s chief curator, the show focuses on the artist’s powerful, large-scale oil paintings. There are a dozen pictures, created roughly from the late 1980s to the present, nicely displayed in two of the Heckscher’s newly renovated galleries. The removal of a false ceiling in them has allowed the museum to accommodate much larger works than it could before. New Horizons. The large-scale oil paintings by April Gornik on display at the Heckscher include “Sun Storm Sea” (2005). At 56, Ms. Gornik is already a painter of eminence. She has had shows around the world, and her work is in several major museum collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art. I would place her among the top landscape artists working in America today. That this is Ms. Gornik’s first major solo exhibition on Long Island in more than 15 years seems an oversight, especially given that she lives part of the year in Suffolk County. But better late than never, for there are probably dozens of artists living and working on Long Island who are deserving of shows.

The foreground is wilderness, with trees that have blown over from the wind or from the storm on the left side of the composi- tion that shows a downpour of rain. Looking closely at the valley in the dis- tance, one realizes that the land is cultivated and a human settlement exists. Yet those fields and buildings are so trivial in comparison to the rest of the landscape that they go almost undetected.

  • 1 Laure Cahen-Maurel « the Art of Romanticizing the World. Caspar David Friedrich and Romantic Philosophy » Deploying Romanti
    Laure Cahen-Maurel « The Art of Romanticizing the World. Caspar David Friedrich and Romantic Philosophy » Deploying romanticism as an intellectual category, this doctoral thesis explores the nature of the painting of C. D. Friedrich (1774-1840) as a form of romantic art. Without turning the painter himself into a romantic philosopher, the concept of German romanticism is subject to a philosophical re-evaluation. And reciprocally: this work also furnishes a new contribution to the research on philosophical romanticism by means of a study of the plastic rather than the literary imagination. P. Lacoue-Labarthe and J.-L. Nancy’s The Literary Absolute (1978), took as their theoretical reference for romanticism "the strictly indefinite program" of the Athenaeum texts of the Schlegel brothers. In contrast to that reading, this investigation refocuses the interpretation of romanticism on the thought of Novalis (1772-1801). The main title of this PhD-thesis, "The Art of Romanizing the World," alludes to fragment 105 of Noavlis’s Poeticisms of 1798: "The world must be romanticized. This is how the original meaning will be found". Novalis explains in 12 condensed lines the precise meaning he accords to the word "romantic" and to the program of a "romantic philosophy." Accordingly, our topic is not German romanticism as a single exclusive category, but to philosophically determine Novalis’s conception of romanticism. The Novalisian program considers romanticism as an operational concept. Thus, in addition to the ordinary meaning of the word “art”, understood as a produced or created object, our choice of the expression "the art of" furthermore refers to the method of the object’s production.

  • Nineteenth-Century Western Skies Revisited: Albert Bierstadt's Toward
    Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies 39.2 September 2013: 139-161 DOI: 10.6240/concentric.lit.2013.39.2.09 Complicating the Reading of Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Painting: Albert Bierstadt’s Western Visions, Aesthetics, and Sociology Michaela Keck Institute for English/American Studies Carl von Ossietzky University, Germany Abstract Albert Bierstadt’s panoramic landscapes have always polarized the general public, critics, and scholars. For some, they represent the wonders of an exceptional natural world and society; for others they express the disturbing, megalomaniac history of nineteenth-century American conquest. While such binary opposites are overly simplistic, they have continued to shape the public and scholarly debate regarding representations of American nature. Based on the notion of an aesthetic perception of nature as landscape, and on sociologist Norbert Elias’s figurational conception of the “involvement and detachment” between human spectators and nature, this article will explore the multilayered, heterogeneous cultural forces at work in Toward the Setting Sun (1862) and The Oregon Trail (1869). The contesting forces inherent in Toward the Setting Sun will be examined in the light of Bierstadt’s transcultural walking figure, while the different situational negotiations of American and European readings will help to shed light on The Oregon Trail. I will argue that Bierstadt’s Indian walking figure in Toward the Setting Sun represents the aesthetic experience of nature as landscape, as well as the protest against growing social pressures within a wider social context, and Bierstadt’s desire to market his art on the level of the individual. To Americans, The Oregon Trail likewise expresses social anxieties insofar as it reveals the aggressive capitalism of the Gilded Age and the dictates of the international marketplace.

  • 29 SEPTEMBER 2020 to 24 JANUARY 2021 BEETHOVEN MOVES the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, in Cooperation with the Archive Of
    29 SEPTEMBER 2020 BEETHOVEN MOVES TO 24 JANUARY 2021 The Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, in cooperation with the Archive of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna, presents an unusual homage to Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827), the great representative of the First Viennese School. Beethoven’s popularity remains unbroken, even 250 years after his birth. Beyond the music, his humanistic messages have influenced the history of art and culture. His early deafness shaped his image as a tragic genius. Beethoven’s universal and unique reception, the epochal significance of his music but also the perception of his deified persona, create numerous points of entry; high and popular culture, commerce and politics all form an inexhaustible reserve of inspiration and appropriation. The exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum brings together paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, sketchbooks by William Turner, graphic works by Francisco de Goya, Anselm Kiefer and Jorinde Voigt, sculptures by Auguste Rodin, Rebecca Horn and John Baldessari, a video by Guido van der Werve and a new work developed for the exhibition by Tino Sehgal, all of which are brought into dialogue with the music and persona of Beethoven. The exhibition will thus build a bridge with the present by being a poetic reflection of the composer and his work: masterpieces of fine art form connections with music and silence. The expressive power of Beethoven’s sound is thus vividly given shape. His music will not only be heard but also seen. The elaborately staged exhibition will not present any artworks from the Kunsthistorisches Museum collection. However, it is shown in the Picture Gallery in the context of the art and culture of many centuries; hundreds of works that precede Beethoven’s lifetime and in some ways also lead up to it.
