  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

    SUM, CONVENT OF ST AGNES, NATIONAL GALLERY PRAGUE, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, 2018 Antony Gormley's passion is to ask whether a human form - as both a vessel for the body and a container for the mind - can be a contemporary subject for contemplation; questions that are essentially spiritual. Gormley speaks of "being" in its widest context, exploring the now. He works with life, making body moulds and body casts, by implication life-size, in various subtle, undramatic states, and places them in a range of settings. These locations are never random; Gormley selects them for their associations. He treats the body as a house and invites the viewer's participation. For Gormley: "How the sculptures are disposed in space is perhaps more important than what they represent." ['Vessel', Antony Gormely, Galeria Continua, San Gimignano, 2012, p.42] This thinking is relevant for the works installed at the Convent of St Agnes, founded at the beginning of the 13th century and situated at the edge of the Old Town. The Church of St Salvator, the earliest Gothic building in Prague and the oldest part of this magnificent historical space, is the perfect site for the 'Reflections' series, in which contemporary art will be seen in a context that speaks to the uniqueness of both art and architecture. The viewer is left alone to reflect. Antony Gormley's two works on paper - the woodcut REACH (2016) and the imprint FEEL (2016) - resonate with the cast iron sculpture SUM (2012), the show's central motif. "Sum" in Latin stands for "I am" in English, or "being", the title of this show.

  • Collecting Asian Art in Prague: Cultural Politics and Transcontinental Networks in 20Th Century Central Europe
    H-Announce Collecting Asian Art in Prague: Cultural Politics and Transcontinental Networks in 20th Century Central Europe Announcement published by Simone Wille on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 Type: Conference Date: June 17, 2021 to June 18, 2021 Location: Czech Republic Subject Fields: Art, Art History & Visual Studies, Asian History / Studies, Colonial and Post-Colonial History / Studies, Diplomacy and International Relations, Eastern Europe History / Studies This conference looks at collections of Asian art in an outside Prague from the perspective of the national cultural politics interconnected with individual encounters as well as institutional cultural and diplomatic exchange in Central Europe during the 20th century. The focus will lie on collections of Asian art--hereby uses as an umbrella term for East Asian, South-East Asian, South Asian, Central Asian and West Asian art. The location includes Prague and its neighbouring cultural centres in Central Europe, thereby allowing a comparison of the mechanisms of collecting and presentation across time and place in the 20th and 21st centuries. Rather than viewing the collection as connected to a deterministic account of cultural flows through centres and peripheries, the conference will focus on international and transcontinental neteworks. It will look closely at the roles these networks played in establishing the grounds for collecting, displaying and narrating Asian art in Central European museums, which were used as platforms for cultural diplomacy or propaganda. By revisiting historical entanglements and relational comparisons that connect Asia and Central Europe, the conference's framework will focus on exhibitions, diplomatic exchange, and discursive aspects on art from Asia in the context of cultural politics.

    CERNY David Cerny was born in 1967 in Prague, Czech Republic Cerny burst into the public eye in 1991 when he painted a Soviet tank, that served as a war memorial in central Prague, the color pink. Creating extreme controversy with his work, this international sculptor has been described as “witty, exciting, kinetic, crass and provacative”. Cerny is the son of a graphic designer father and a mother who was a restorer of art in the National Gallery of Prague. He learned his trade at the Academy of Applied Art in the country’s capital, studied in Boswil on a grant from the Swiss government, and also in New York City at P.S.I Artists Residence New York before taking part in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program. His works are characteristically bold, courageous and reach into sensitive political, historical and social themes, all sprinkled with the unconventional artist’s sarcastic humor. In his hometown of Prague alone, Cerny has 14 installations in public spaces that have become major public attractions. In 2001 he created a non-profit cultural art and event center in a former 1920’s glass warehouse in Prague, which he named the “Meet Factory”. Cerny calls his factory a “multicultural supermarket”, as it houses a theatre, music stage and 16 studious occupied by a total of 30 international artists. More information and available works: www.hohmannfineart.com HOHMANN 73-660 El Paseo | Palm Desert, CA 92260 | (760) 346-4243 | [email protected] BIOGRAPHY DAVID CERNY Cerny has gained international attention with his larger than life art installations that can be found in and far beyond his native Prague.

  • The Construction of National Identity in the Historiography of Czech Art
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Enlighten: Theses THE CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE HISTORIOGRAPHY OF CZECH ART MARTA FILIPOVÁ A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF THE HISTORY OF ART August 2008 © Marta Filipová 2008 Abstract National identity can be expressed in many ways by individuals, groups and states. Since the nineteenth century, Central Europe has been undergoing rapid changes in the political, social and cultural spheres, which was reflected in the self-definition of the nations living in this region, and in their definition by others. The Czech people, who until 1918 were a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, gave birth to a national revival movement in the nineteenth century and eventually emancipated themselves to create an independent Czechoslovakia. The idea of „national identity“ was, therefore, crucial and this was enhanced in many areas of human activity, including the construction of a historical legitimacy for the nation. The struggle for recognition of the historical existence of the Czech nation was also projected into the discourse adopted for historical and contemporary art writing and exhibition practice. In this thesis, I focus on the ways in which Czech national identity was constructed in the historiography of art. I shall argue that the various ideologies which influenced the writers led to an understanding of Czech art as epitomising certain qualities of the Czech nation. At the same time, the Czech nation was presented as highly advanced because of its artistic achievements.

  • Exhibiting Central European Baroque Art in Cold War Britain: ‘The Works Themselves Refute Geographical Separatism’
    Exhibiting Central European baroque art in Cold War Britain: ‘The works themselves refute geographical separatism’ Verity Clarkson This article analyses the organization and reception of one exhibition of baroque art, Baroque in Bohemia. 1 Organized collaboratively across the Iron Curtain, it formed part of an official governmental programme of cultural exchanges between Britain and Czechoslovakia. It was shown in two British locations in the summer and autumn of 1969: firstly, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (henceforward V&A) and later the City Museum and Art Gallery in Birmingham.2 The press release summarized its content as ‘Baroque sculpture, paintings, glass, silver, ecclesiastical vestments and metalwork ranging in date from the beginning of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth century’, noting that the exhibition aimed to trace ‘the evolution of the Bohemian Baroque in all its aspects’.3 Exhibits were drawn mostly from Czech sources, predominantly museum collections in Prague and churches in Bohemia.4 However, planning the show was a more collaborative effort, requiring co-operation between a number of administrative and governmental bodies both across the East-West divide and within each individual country. The Czechoslovak Ministry of Culture took a lead role alongside various Czech museums, notably the National Gallery in Prague. Various British cultural and governmental organizations also worked together to realize the exhibition. The nominally apolitical Arts Council of Great Britain was in charge of general administration
