Guéridon devant la fenêtre belongs to an important series of still lifes executed by Pablo Picasso between 1919 and 1920, which he commenced whilst vacationing in Saint-Raphaël with his first wife, the Russian ballerina Olga Khokhlova. This sequence of guéridons, or pedestal tables, were an immediate success, and many of them were selected for exhibition in the gallery of famed French collector Paul Rosenberg. This series would occupy Picasso for the next two years of his life, and it is unsurprising that over this extended period of time the artist re-worked his chosen subject in various media, including graphite, gouache and oil. The present work was drawn in 1920, by which time Picasso had long since returned to Paris. The artist clearly continued to explore the depiction of the guéridon (usually placed in front of a window and coupled with an assortment of objects such as glasses and guitars), despite the distance from his original source of inspiration: the flooding of the warm, Mediterranean light through the windows of the majestic Hôtel Continental et des Bains on the Côte d’Azur.

    Trent’anni di chiavi di lettura Siamo arrivati ai trent’anni, quindi siamo in quell’età in cui ci sentiamo maturi senza esserlo del tutto e abbiamo tantissime energie da spendere per il futuro. Sono energie positive, che vengono dal sostegno e dal riconoscimento che il cammino fin qui percorso per far crescere ArtePadova da quella piccola edizio- ne inaugurale del 1990, ci sta portando nella giusta direzione. Siamo qui a rap- presentare in campo nazionale, al meglio per le nostre forze, un settore difficile per il quale non è ammessa l’improvvisazione, ma serve la politica dei piccoli passi; siamo qui a dimostrare con i dati di questa edizione del 2019, che siamo stati seguiti con apprezzamento da un numero crescente di galleristi, di artisti, di appassionati cultori dell’arte. E possiamo anche dire, con un po’ di vanto, che negli anni abbiamo dato il nostro contributo di conoscenza per diffondere tra giovani e meno giovani l’amore per l’arte moderna: a volte snobbata, a volte non compresa, ma sempre motivo di dibattito e di curiosità. Un tentativo questo che da qualche tempo stiamo incentivando con l’apertura ai giovani artisti pro- ponendo anche un’arte accessibile a tutte le tasche: tanto che nei nostri spazi figurano, democraticamente fianco a fianco, opere da decine di migliaia di euro di valore ed altre che si fermano a poche centinaia di euro. Se abbiamo attraversato indenni il confine tra due secoli con le sue crisi, è per- ché l’arte è sì bene rifugio, ma sostanzialmente rappresenta il bello, dimostra che l’uomo è capace di grandi azzardi e di mettersi sempre in gioco sperimen- tando forme nuove di espressione; l’arte è tecnica e insieme fantasia, ovvero un connubio unico e per questo quasi magico tra terra e cielo.

  • Fiche De Salle-Magnelli-Anglais
    Musée Magnelli, musée de la céramique - Vallauris Short biography of Alberto Magnelli Born in Florence in 1888 in a family of shopkeepers, Alberto Magnelli (1888-1971) achieves his first painting, a landscape, in 1907. He was a self-taught artist who never attended any art school nevertheless he studied the primitive Italian painting. His masters were Paolo Uccello, Masaccio, and above all Piero della Francesca to whom he owes his sense of composition. In Florence, he kept company with the artists of the Futurist movement but never wanted to join them. While his early works such as Neve (1910) – the first important painting in his career- were dedicated to the architecture of painting and plain colours, after 1914, his production (Virginia , Nature morte à la boîte rouge , and La Japonaise ) is painted with bright flat tints, which totally contrasts with his previous work. In 1914, Magnelli travels for the first time to Paris where he meets Apollinaire, Picasso, Léger and Archipenko. Back in Italy, he is forced to stay because of the break of the war in 1915. During this period, he produces paintings by resorting to a logical simplification of forms, progressively turning to abstraction. He thus becomes the first Italian abstract painter. Peinture n° 0521 (1915) - entitled with a simple number- is an emblem of his first abstract works. By 1917, he reintroduces figurative elements: the series of Explosions Lyriques (1918) are an echo to the end of the war, particularly dynamic and free in the style. In 1922, Magnelli goes back to a more classical style. At the end of the 1920’s, he stops painting.

Pourtant, il est commun de voir se faire, aussi bien dans des disciplines objectives que spéculatives ou artistiques, des dé­ couvertes dont l'analogie est trou­ blante, dans un temps très court. Ainsi la non-figuration surgit à la même période dans des pays aussi peu semblables que la Russie des Tsars, la Hollande et l'Italie, l'Eu­ rope Centrale des Habsbourg et la France. La vague de fond qui dé­ s ferle, de la mort de Cézanne à l'ir­ ruption du Dadaïsme, bouleverse non seulement l'art et le goût, mais va mettre en cause les structures interprétatives de l'esthétisme.

  • Natalia Goncharova's Canonization in Europe After 1945
    Natalia Goncharova’s canonization in Europe after 1945 Elena Korowin Introduction The Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Sergeevna Goncharova (1881-1962) is considered to be one of the major female artists of the early twentieth century. Of all female artists internationally, her works are now among the most expensive; however, the canonization process of her work was quite sluggish. The aim of this paper is to trace the way Goncharova entered the canon of modern art in Europe. In doing so, it will show how differently the canonization processes of male and female as well as exile and non-exile artists from Russia developed in the twentieth century. Therefore, it is important to mark the milestones in Goncharova’s case of canonization: 1. The first acquisitions of her works by Musée National d’Art Moderne in 1950 and by the Tate in 1952. 2. Her recognition within the feminist context in the 1970s, which started with the exhibition Woman Artists 1550-1950. 3. Goncharova’s rising prices on the art market in the 2000s. To understand these three turns it is necessary to observe the cultural-political situation after 1945 in order to contextualize the reception of Russian avant-garde in the West and to answer the following questions: Why was Goncharova ‘discovered’ so late compared to other artists, particularly male artists of the Russian avant-garde; in other words, how does Goncharova’s canonization relate to the canonization of Malevich, Tatlin and especially of Mikhail Larionov? Who were the main actors in promoting her work? This analysis will provide a detailed understanding of the way early Russian art was promoted in Germany, France and England in the post-war period and how it became a part of the modernist canon in art history.

  • Beyond Modigliani – Alternative Histories of Modern Italian Art in New York ROSALIND MCKEVER
    12/2/2015 Beyond Modigliani ​– alternative histories of modern Italian art Nov 23, 2015 The Double Grande Jatte (1971), Enrico Baj, installation view at Luxembourg & Dayan, New York, 2015 Photo: Adam Reich Beyond Modigliani – alternative histories of modern Italian art in New York ROSALIND MCKEVER Amedeo Modigliani, his Nu couché (1917-18), and its £170.4 million price tag, have been attracting attention in New York, but the city has a lot more Italian modern art to offer. Alberto Burri’s abstract burlap, plastic and celotex compositions are on show at the Guggenheim and the ever-popular still lifes of Giorgio Morandi can be found at both the Center for Italian Modern Art, and David Zwirner. Fresh perspectives on Burri and Morandi are very welcome, but compared to some of the Italian modernists on display in the city at the moment, these two are giants of abstraction and figuration. Just take a look at the names of some of the artists shown at Sperone Westwater’s exhibition ‘Painting in Italy 1910s–1950s: Futurism, Abstraction, Concrete Art’: Corrado Cagli, Mario Radice, Luigi Veronesi… http://www.apollo-magazine.com/beyond-modigliani-alternative-histories-of-modern-italian-art-in-new-york/ 1/8 12/2/2015 Beyond Modigliani ​– alternative histories of modern Italian art The abstract artists working during Fascism, the Second World War and its aftermath, have received little attention and so this exhibition of around 200 works is refreshing. The story begins in familiar territory with Futurist abstraction, most notably Giacomo Balla’s experiments in depicting speed and light. Quickly though, the dense hang presents us with abstract works from the 1930s and ’40s by Alberto Magnelli, Atanasio Soldati, Carla Badiali, and others who have clearly absorbed the lessons of their European neighbours.
