    VON PETRA RESKI apri lässt niemanden kalt. Weder Rilke noch Oscar Wilde, und auch nicht C meine Tante Gisela. Rilke kam und schrieb Gedichte - »uraltes Wehn vom Meer / welches weht / nur wie für Ur-Gestein«, Oscar Wilde erregte Är- gernis und wurde mit seinem Geliebten aus dem Speisesaal des Hotels Qui- sisana hinauskomplimentiert. Meine Tante Gisela quetschte sich die Finger in der Blauen Grotte. Sie hatte die Hände trotz mehrfacher Ermahnungen über den Bootsrand gelegt. Seitdem hielt sie Capri und die Blaue Grotte für ziemlich überschätzt. Meine Mutter hingegen sagte: »Ach, Capri! Das könnt ihr euch ja gar nicht vorstellen!« Sie sagte es in einem Ton, als habe sie bei ihrem Tagesaus- flug etwas Erhabenem beigewohnt, als sei sie seither eine Erwählte, Erleuchte- te, Zeugin eines ganz Besonderen, das sie niemandem erklären konnte und auch nicht wollte. Ach, Capri. Und dann stehe ich auf der Terrasse des Hotels »Caesar Augustus« in Anaca- pri. Blicke auf den Horizont mit Ischia und Procida links, mit Neapel und dem Vesuv in der Mitte und der Küste von Sorrent rechts. Ein Panorama, so weit , CAPRI dass zwei Augen nicht reichen, um alles auf ein Mal zu erfassen. Ich blicke auf das Meer, das chinablau ist, himmelblau, babyblau, veilchenblau, lavendelblau, pfauenblau, stahlblau, rauchblau, blaublau. Blicke zu den winzigen Schiffen, die das Meer durchkreuzen und weise Schweife hinter sich herziehen. Ich blicke in den Himmel, der plötzlich aussieht, als habe ihn jemand entzündet, ein gol- denes Glühen, in dem die Wolken verdampfen. Blicke auf das Meer, das sich langsam rosa färbt. Blicke der Sonne entgegen, die als gigantischer, blutroter Lampion am unteren Rand des Panoramabildes versinkt, und meine kleine, enge Seele wird weit und schmerzt ein wenig.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

  • News Release
    News Release Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion Sponsored by American Express Gallery 40, V&A 27 May 2017 – 18 February 2018 vam.ac.uk/balenciaga | #balenciaga ‘Haute Couture is like an orchestra whose conductor is Balenciaga. We other couturiers are the musicians and we follow the direction he gives.’ Christian Dior On 27 May, the V&A opens the first ever UK exhibition exploring the work of Cristóbal Balenciaga and his continuing influence on modern fashion. It is the first of its kind to look at his unique approach to making and showcases pieces by his protégés and contemporary designers working in the same innovative way today. The exhibition marks the centenary of the opening of Balenciaga’s first fashion house in San Sebastian and the 80th anniversary of the opening of his famous fashion house in Paris. Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion focuses on the latter part of Balenciaga’s long career in the 1950s and 1960s – his most creative period. It was during these years that he not only dressed some of the most renowned women of the time, but also introduced revolutionary shapes including the tunic, the sack, ‘baby doll’ and shift dress – all of which remain style staples today. Highlights include ensembles made by Balenciaga for Hollywood actress Ava Gardner, dresses and hats belonging to socialite and 1960s fashion icon Gloria Guinness, and pieces worn by one of the world’s wealthiest women, Mona von Bismarck, who commissioned everything from ball-gowns to gardening shorts from the couturier. On display are over 100 garments and 20 hats, many of which have never been on public display before.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction The English word “museum” comes from the Latin word, and is pluralized as “museums” (or rarely, “musea”). It is originally from the Ancient Greek (Mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to the Muses (the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts), and hence a building set apart for study and the arts, especially the Musaeum (institute) for philosophy and research atAlexandria by Ptolemy I Soter about 280 BCE. The first museum/library is considered to be the one of Plato in Athens. However, Pausanias gives another place called “Museum,” namely a small hill in Classical Athens opposite the Akropolis. The hill was called Mouseion after Mousaious, a man who used to sing on the hill and died there of old age and was subsequently buried there as well. The Louvre in Paris France. 2 Museum The Uffizi Gallery, the most visited museum in Italy and an important museum in the world. Viw toward thePalazzo Vecchio, in Florence. An example of a very small museum: A maritime museum located in the village of Bolungarvík, Vestfirðir, Iceland showing a 19th-century fishing base: typical boat of the period and associated industrial buildings. A museum is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic,cultural, historical, or scientific importance and some public museums makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. The State Historical Museum inMoscow. Introduction 3 Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside.

This dissertation examines how Cuevas cultivated his fictionalized public persona, an identity that is essentially queer on several levels. Cuevas participated, reflected and resisted the several labels that were imposed on him. As Spanish aristocrat, American citizen, international ballet patron, Parisian socialite, and heir to the Russian dance avant-gardes, Cuevas distanced himself from his Chilean origins. Proud of having achieved “real” success by triumphing abroad, however, Cuevas was always acutely aware of his shortcomings as a foreigner.

Contributions by Susan A. Van Scoy, Robert R. Shane’, Louise Sørensen. Although the fact may be surprising to some, landscape painting is positively thriving in the 21st century—indeed, the genre has arguably never felt as vital as it does today. The reasons why, if speculative, surely include our imminent environmental collapse and increasingly digitally mediated existence. Landscape Painting Now is the first book of its kind to take a global view of its subject, featuring more than eighty outstanding contemporary artists— both established and emerging—whose ages span seven decades and who hail from
