The Star Alphabet of ELT Mesens. Dada and Surrealism In The Star Alphabet of E.L.T. Mesens. Dada and Surrealism in Brussels, Paris and London Mu.ZEE 6.7.2013 – 17.11.2013 The exhibition The Star Alphabet of E.L.T. Mesens. Dada and Surrealism in Brussels, Paris and London is at Mu.ZEE from 6 July to 17 November 2013. This large-scale exhibition is part of the triennial series that the museum started in 2010 with Visiting Ensor. In 2016, Mu.ZEE will organise the Max Beckmann exhibition on the occasion of the First World War centenary. The Star Alphabet of E.L.T. Mesens. Dada and Surrealism in Brussels, Paris and London was composed by Phillip Van den Bossche and Erich Weiss. Anouck Clissen is co-curator and Laura Bown was in charge of the exhibition architecture. Mieke Mels coordinated the catalogue, which is available in three languages (NL/FR/EN). The exhibition The Star Alphabet of E.L.T. Mesens - Dada and Surrealism in Brussels, Paris and London is a tribute to one of the most eminent personalities in the European art world of the 20th century. If the three initials, E.L.T., could speak, then the history of art in the 20th century would unfold with passion in a myriad of stories. The artistry of E.L.T. Mesens has many origins and embraces numerous facets: composer, music critic, poet, photographer and collagist, publisher and designer for magazines and publications, (co-)publisher of manifestos, exhibition organiser, gallery owner and art collector. His passion in his youth for Dada and thereafter his international role as leader of the Surrealist movement in Europe mean that a portrait of E.L.T. Mesens can only be made as a composition of fragments, an analogy of the collage technique. Part of the Surrealist movement from the very beginning, Mesens was one of its main proponents. He played an active role in the European international art scene and, from as early as the 1920s, he could count people such as the Romanian poet Tristan Tzara, Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg and French composer Erik Satie amongst his friends. Mesens is the man who gave René Magritte international fame and who introduced Surrealism to England. He was friends with numerous artists, including Roland Penrose, Lee Miller, Kurt Schwitters, Max Ernst, André Breton and Man Ray. From 1938 to 1950 he was director of The London Gallery, where René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Giorgio de Chirico and Pablo Picasso all exhibited their work. Mesens dedicated his life fully to poetry and the imagination. In the 1950s he focused on making collages and held major exhibitions at the Casino of Knokke. Through his exceptional collages, writings and publications, the exhibition brings the history of Dada and Surrealism to life. Discover Dada and Surrealism in Brussels, Paris and London. The exhibition and the richly illustrated catalogue chart E.L.T Mesens’ fascinating life and artistry for the first time and contains numerous works of art, writings and archive photos by Eileen Agar, René Magritte, Man Ray, Roland Penrose, Lee Miller, Paul Klee, Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí , Paul Delvaux, Yves Tanguy, Amadeo Modigliani, Desmond Morris, Kurt Schwitters, Francis Picabia, John Banting, Humphrey Jennings, Edith Rimmington, Conroy Maddox, Scottie Wilson, and many, many others!

  • Correlations Between Creativity In
    1 ARTISTIC SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTIFIC ARTISTS: THE LINK BETWEEN POLYMATHY AND CREATIVITY ROBERT AND MICHELE ROOT-BERNSTEIN, 517-336-8444; [email protected] [Near final draft for Root-Bernstein, Robert and Root-Bernstein, Michele. (2004). “Artistic Scientists and Scientific Artists: The Link Between Polymathy and Creativity,” in Robert Sternberg, Elena Grigorenko and Jerome Singer, (Eds.). Creativity: From Potential to Realization (Washington D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2004), pp. 127-151.] The literature comparing artistic and scientific creativity is sparse, perhaps because it is assumed that the arts and sciences are so different as to attract different types of minds who work in very different ways. As C. P. Snow wrote in his famous essay, The Two Cultures, artists and intellectuals stand at one pole and scientists at the other: “Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension -- sometimes ... hostility and dislike, but most of all lack of understanding... Their attitudes are so different that, even on the level of emotion, they can't find much common ground." (Snow, 1964, 4) Our purpose here is to argue that Snow's oft-repeated opinion has little substantive basis. Without denying that the products of the arts and sciences are different in both aspect and purpose, we nonetheless find that the processes used by artists and scientists to forge innovations are extremely similar. In fact, an unexpected proportion of scientists are amateur and sometimes even professional artists, and vice versa. Contrary to Snow’s two-cultures thesis, the arts and sciences are part of one, common creative culture largely composed of polymathic individuals.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

ISSN 1753-9854 TATE’S ONLINE RESEARCH JOURNAL The 'Comic Sublime': Eileen Agar at Ploumanac'h Ian Walker Fig.1 Eileen Agar 'Rockface', Ploumanach 1936 Black and white photograph reproduced from original negative Tate Archive Photographic Collection 5.4.3 © Tate Archive 2005 On Saturday 4 July 1936, the International Surrealist Exhibition in London came to an end. In that same month, the Architectural Review magazine announced a competition. In April, they had published Paul Nash's article 'Swanage or Seaside Surrealism'.1 Now, in July, the magazine offered a prize for readers who sent in their own surrealist holiday photographs – 'spontaneous examples of surrealism discerned in English holiday resorts'. The judges would be Nash and Roland Penrose .2 At face value, this could be taken as a demonstration of the irredeemable frivolity of surrealism in England (it is difficult to imagine a surrealist snapshot competition in Paris judged by André Breton and Max Ernst ). But in a more positive light, it exemplifies rather well the interest that the English had in popular culture and in pleasure. Holidays were very important in English surrealism and some of its most interesting work was made during them. This essay will examine closely one particular set of photographs made by Eileen Agar in that month of July 1936 which illustrate this relationship between surrealism in England and pleasure. Eileen Agar had been one of the English stars of the surrealism exhibition, even though she had apparently not thought of herself as a 'surrealist' until the organizers of the show – Roland Penrose and Herbert Read – came to her studio and declared her to be one.
