Der Blaue Reiter (London, 25-26 Nov 11)
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. -
Perceptions on the Starry Night
Kay Sohini Kumar To the Stars and Beyond: Perceptions on The Starry Night “The earliest experience of art must have been that it was incantatory, magical; art was an instrument of ritual. The earliest theory of art, that of Greek philosophers, proposed that art was mimesis, imitation of reality...even in the modern times, when most artists and critics have discarded the theory of art as representation of an outer reality in favor of theory of art as subjective expression, the main feature of the mimetic theory persists” (Sontag 3-4) What is it like to see the painting, in the flesh, that you have been worshipping and emulating for years? I somehow always assumed that it was bigger. The gilded frame enclosing The Starry Night at the Museum of Modern Art occupies less than a quarter of the wall it is hung upon. I had also assumed that there would be a bench from across the painting, where I could sit and gaze at the painting intently till I lost track of time and space. What I did not figure was how the painting would only occupy a tiny portion of the wall, or that there would be this many people1, that some of those people would stare at me strangely (albeit for a fraction of a second, or maybe I imagined it) for standing in front of The Starry Night awkwardly, with a notepad, scribbling away, for so long that it became conspicuous. I also did not expect how different the actual painting would be from the reproductions of it that I was used to. -
Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015
Media Release Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015 With Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), the Fondation Beyeler presents one of the most important and fascinating artists in history. As one of the great European cultural highlights in the year 2015, the exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler brings together over fifty masterpieces by Gauguin from leading international museums and private collections. This is the most dazzling exhibition of masterpieces by this exceptional, groundbreaking French artist that has been held in Switzerland for sixty years; the last major retrospective in neighbouring countries dates back around ten years. Over six years in the making, the show is the most elaborate exhibition project in the Fondation Beyeler’s history. The museum is consequently expecting a record number of visitors. The exhibition features Gauguin’s multifaceted self-portraits as well as the visionary, spiritual paintings from his time in Brittany, but it mainly focuses on the world-famous paintings he created in Tahiti. In them, the artist celebrates his ideal of an unspoilt exotic world, harmoniously combining nature and culture, mysticism and eroticism, dream and reality. In addition to paintings, the exhibition includes a selection of Gauguin’s enigmatic sculptures that evoke the art of the South Seas that had by then already largely vanished. There is no art museum in the world exclusively devoted to Gauguin’s work, so the precious loans come from 13 countries: Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain (England and Scotland), -

[1] In reaction to the traditional establishment, constituted especially by the École des Beaux-Arts, the Paris Salon, and the styles and techniques they promulgated, Toulouse-Lautrec cultivated his own approach to painting, while also pioneering new methods in lithography and the art of the poster. He explored popular, even vulgar subject matter, while collaborating with vanguard artists, writers, and stars of Bohemian Paris. Despite his artistic innovations, he remains an enigmatic and somewhat liminal figure in the history of French modern art. -

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies. -
