However his travels, beginning with his training at the Academy in Florence and his great interest in the painting of central Italy, expanded his horizons. He now lives most of the time in New York and Paris. Botero encountered such powerful movements as Abstract Expressionism, but resisted such modernist influences. Rather, he looked back to the work of figurative painters of the Trecento and Quattrocento, while remaining connected to South America in his memories, fantasies and images, expressed in his unique style. His paintings and pastels are known for their strong sense of space and volume, and his distinctive figures for their rotundness. Botero loves beauty, and in people it is not the western concept of beauty in thinness, but that of Spanish-speaking countries, more associated with, as Werner Spies writes, “the roundness of a handsome, well-nourished person.” This accentuated corporeality creates a distortion of form. Regarding his intention, Botero stated, “The deformation you see is the result of my involvement with painting. The monumental and, in my eyes, sensually provocative volumes stem from this. Whether they appear fat or not really does not interest me. It has hardly any meaning for my painting. My concern is with formal fullness, abundance. And that is something entirely different.” His affinity with painters such as Giotto, Piero della Francesca, Rubens and Ingres included their approach to figures, who as he stated, “all depict figures of a certain fullness.” In Homme, Botero’s figure casts a cool gaze, not at the viewer, but into space. This was intentional, and Botero declared, “I want the figures to gaze into emptiness. I want to paint people as still lifes.” There are recurrent archetypal figures in his work, such as this man, seen in numerous works with his small moustache, close cropped hair, distinctive hat and round face with arched eyebrows. Botero creates a palpable atmosphere of sensuality, which emanates from the fleshy physicality of the man and objects such as the fruit and glass of beer or wine, as well as the rich colouration of pastel, which makes the simple interior sumptuous. A strong element of visual interest is added by the bare lightbulb, which, with its emanation of light, draws the eye to the man’s face. Homme is an outstanding example of Botero’s tactile and sensual approach to the figure. Starting Bid: $200,000 CDN Estimate: $250,000 ~ $350,000 CDN Preview at: Heffel Fine Art Inc.

The Caspars’ body of work was considered to be Entartete Kunst (Degenerate Art) by the Nazi regime, who objected to the influence of Impressionist and Expressionist work on German artists. They banned virtually all modern art, and both artists were prohibited from purchasing art supplies or selling their work. However, the consignor’s father, Mr. Schonger, unremittingly supported the couple by bringing them painting supplies and purchasing their artwork. He visited them in Brannenburg, Bavaria on a regular basis and often took his young daughter along with him. This painting was acquired during World War II before 1943 and hung in the Schonger family home in Inning am Ammersee, Bavaria. Mr. Schonger was a filmmaker, and was committed to making a film about the Caspars' artwork and their struggles with the Nazi regime. Unfortunately, he was unable to fulfill his dream of making the film due to the turmoil following World War II in Germany. However, the paintings were his constant reminder of his special friendship with these extraordinary artists.

  • Elements of Innovators' Fame
    Elements of Innovators’ Fame: Social Structure, Identity and Creativity Mitali Banerjee Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2017 © 2017 Mitali Banerjee All rights reserved Abstract Elements of Innovators’ Fame: Social Structure, Identity and Creativity Mitali Banerjee What makes an innovator famous? This is the principal question of this dissertation. I examine three potential drivers of the innovators’ fame – their social structure, creativity and identity. My empirical context is the early 20th century abstract artists in 1910-25. The period represents a paradigmatic shift in the history of modern art, the emergence of the abstract art movement. In chapter 2, I operationalize social structure by an innovator’s local peer network. I find that an innovator with structurally and compositionally diverse local network is likely to be more famous than the one with a homogenous local network. I find no statistical evidence for creativity as a link between social structure and fame. Instead, the evidence suggests that an innovator’s creative identity and access to promotional opportunities are the key drivers of her fame. In Chapter 3, I find that the creativity identity resulting from an innovator’s creative trajectory can lead to obscurity despite early fame and acclaim. The drastic change in the nature of a producer’s output can dilute her identity and cost her her niche. In combination with her peer network characteristics, these dynamics can mean obscurity even for talented and prolific innovators. In chapter 4, I undertake a large-scale analysis of the relationship between creativity and fame.

  • 100 Years of the London Group the English Are an Essentially
    Moving with the times: 100 years of the London Group The English are an essentially conservative people, their suspicion of anything new or innovative, unless it can be seen to have an immediate usefulness or purpose, innate. The arts, whose lifeblood depends on precisely those qualities, have not been immune to its effects, as the current plight of the arts in the school curriculum makes only too plain while the history of the visual arts in England, certainly over the last two hundred years or more and probably since the Reformation, has been dogged by its influence. The response has nearly always been the determination of a small group of artists to set up new societies or artistic groupings; first and foremost, of course, there was the Royal Academy of Arts in 1768 and, in the 19thC., when that institution had slipped back into full-blown academic conservatism, there were first the Pre-Raphaelites and then, in 1886, the New English Art Club on hand to stir things up once again. Indeed the history of English Modernism could, from this point on, almost be written in terms of constant reaction and renewal through such associations of artists, culminating in that heady period, just before the First World War when the flurry of new artistic associations stirred up by the response of younger artists to the Modernist revelations of Roger Fry’s two great French Post-Impressionist exhibitions of 1910 and 1912 – the Camden Town Group, the Fitzroy Street Group and the Allied Artists’ Association in particular - in their turn reacted against the by now largely establishment New English.

    Artinvest2000, i principali movimenti artistici. http://www.artinvest2000.com Dalla lettera A alla G ASTRATTISMO Astrattismo tendenza artistica del XX Secolo. Abbandonando la rappresentazione mimetica del mondo esterno, trova in generale le sue ragioni nella riflessione sulle specificità della ricerca formale e della percezione visiva. Parallelamente allo sviluppo di una speculazione estetica tra positivismo e spiritualismo (K. Fiedler, Origine dell'attività artistica, 1887; W. Worringer, Astrazione e empatia, 1908), molti artisti tendono alla rifondazione del proprio campo d'azione attraverso lo studio degli elementi formali che costituiscono le fondamenta sintattiche del linguaggio visivo, innescando un processo di sempre più radicale semplificazione e scomposizione delle forme. Una tendenza del genere, complicata dall'interesse per il meccanismo dei procedimenti percettivi, sposta progressivamente in secondo piano o elimina del tutto ogni preoccupazione rappresentativa. Sono soprattutto il "Sintetismo" e il decorativismo simbolista e la stilizzazione "Art nouveau" carica di suggestioni irrazionali e vitalistiche. ad alimentare il terreno culturale sul quale, attorno al 1910, si sviluppano diverse tendenze astratte nell'ambito dei movimenti d'avanguardia tedesco, russo, ceco e ungherese. Loro antecedenti immediati sono i due grandi movimenti innovatori dell'inizio del secolo, "Fauvisme" e "Cubismo". A questa duplice matrice formale si collegano i due modi principali dell'astrattismo, entrambi cresciuti nella ricerca di un ordine e di

From shopping to car insurance, services that traditionally required a human representative have been redesigned so that customers complete their business interacting only with machines. Some might argue this gives us more flexibility and choice and while others see us all becoming unpaid employees, required to do the work in order to access what we need. Taking its lead from the check-out counters of supermarkets and petrol station forecourts, this exhibition brings together moving image works that respond to this idea of ‘self-service’. Works were contributed by members of the London Group, invited artists and artists chosen from an open call in response to the title.

  • “Uproar!”: the Early Years of the London Group, 1913–28 Sarah Macdougall
    “Uproar!”: The early years of The London Group, 1913–28 Sarah MacDougall From its explosive arrival on the British art scene in 1913 as a radical alternative to the art establishment, the early history of The London Group was one of noisy dissent. Its controversial early years reflect the upheavals associated with the introduction of British modernism and the experimental work of many of its early members. Although its first two exhibitions have been seen with hindsight as ‘triumphs of collective action’,1 ironically, the Group’s very success in bringing together such disparate artistic factions as the English ‘Cubists’ and the Camden Town painters only underlined the fragility of their union – a union that was further threatened, even before the end of the first exhibition, by the early death of Camden Town Group President, Spencer Gore. Roger Fry observed at The London Group’s formation how ‘almost all artist groups’, were, ‘like the protozoa […] fissiparous and breed by division. They show their vitality by the frequency with which they split up’. While predicting it would last only two or three years, he also acknowledged how the Group had come ‘together for the needs of life of two quite separate organisms, which give each other mutual support in an unkindly world’.2 In its first five decades this mutual support was, in truth, short-lived, as ‘Uproar’ raged on many fronts both inside and outside the Group. These fronts included the hostile press reception of the ultra-modernists; the rivalry between the Group and contemporary artists’

This is just one inclusive show in the s illustrious 100-year history of The London Group, the UK’s longest running artists’ collective. The London Group have a long tradition of supporting the work of emerging artists through their s flagship event, the biennial open. Historically, these shows were seen as exhibiting opportunities for visual makers who had been thought of as minority status artists: young art students, women artists and those making work without commercial gallery patronage. The golden age for the open submission came after the war. These exhibitions were huge. In the e November 1952 exhibition, 360 works came from open submission. Again in the 1980s the shows had very high status again with three large exhibitions at the Royal College of Art Gulbenkian Galleries.

  • Old and New in Modernist Art
    Chapter 2: Old and New in Modernist Art Mr. Thomas T. Baxter presents what appears to be a figure of Christ teaching a dickey-bird to chew worms. This work is labelled "St. Francis" (D‟Asise). I cannot concede his background but the face is remarkable; it is painted with very great skill, and the frenetic modernist who rushes by the picture merely because of the demoded subject-matter will miss one of the best pieces of detail in the exhibition. (Ezra pound, writing as B. H. Dias, in The New Age for January 17, 1918--22.12.235, emphasis added) Among the many kinds of artists, it may be that there are some who are hybrid. Some, that is to say, bore deeper and deeper into the stuff of their own art; others are always making raids into the lands of others. Sickert, it may be, is among the hybrids, the raiders. But . he is probably the best painter now living in England. (Virginia Woolf, writing in 1933, The Captain's Death Bed and Other Essays, 201-202, emphasis added) In 1918, we find Ezra Pound worrying about "the frenetic modernist" who will miss something of great beauty because its subject matter, which Pound himself has mocked, is "demoded." And, as late as 1933, we find Virginia Woolf, reporting on a conversation in "Bloomsbury" about Walter Sickert, in which a consensus is reached that this derivative painter, whose work is often naturalistic in its content, and might well have been associated by Woolf with her despised Edwardians, is the best that England has to offer.
