  • Mickalene Thomas Sleep: Deux Femmes Noires
    MICKALENE THOMAS SLEEP: DEUX FEMMES NOIRES Mickalene Thomas, Sleep: Deux Femmes Noires, 2013, Mixed Media Collage, 38 1/2 x 80 1/2 inches, Ed. 25 Durham Press is pleased to announce the completion of Mickalene Thomas’s Sleep: Deux Femmes Noires. The new edition is a large-scale mixed media collage, comprised of woodblock, silkscreen and photographic elements. It measures 38 ½ by 80 ½ inches and is made in an edition of 25. Sleep: Deux Femmes Noires is based on a small collage that Thomas used to conceive both the print and a large painting (of same title) that featured prominently in her solo exhibition “Origin of the Universe”. The widely acclaimed traveling show, organized by the Santa Monica Art Museum, was at the Brooklyn Museum earlier this year. Sleep, both in title and subject, directly references Gustave Courbet’s erotic painting Le Sommeil from 1866, but transports the interior scene of reclining nudes to a disparate collaged landscape of bright color and pattern. The work hints at influences from the Hudson River Painters, Romare Bearden, David Hockney and Seydou Keita. Thomas deftly weaves themes of black female beauty, power, and sexuality into classical genres of portraiture and landscape, creating works of stunning originality and strength. The print, Sleep: Deux Femmes Noires, is a remarkable work made with 61 colors, 58 screens, 27 individual blocks, and 50 different collage components, including mahogany and cherry veneers. Each component and process adds to the lush composition of color, texture and pattern. The figures included in the collage are printed from an interior scene Thomas composed and photographed at 20 x 24 Studio in New York using a large format camera.

    Realism Impressionism Post Impressionism week five Background/context The École des Beaux-Arts • The École des Beaux-Arts (est. 1648) was a government controlled art school originally meant to guarantee a pool of artists available to decorate the palaces of Louis XIV Artistic training at The École des Beaux-Arts • Students at the École des Beaux Arts were required to pass exams which proved they could imitate classical art. • An École education had three essential parts: learning to copy engravings of Classical art, drawing from casts of Classical statues and finally drawing from the nude model The Academy, Académie des Beaux-Arts • The École des Beaux-Arts was an adjunct to the French Académie des beaux-arts • The Academy held a virtual monopoly on artistic styles and tastes until the late 1800s • The Academy favored classical subjects painted in a highly polished classical style • Academic art was at its most influential phase during the periods of Neoclassicism and Romanticism • The Academy ranked subject matter in order of importance -History and classical subjects were the most important types of painting -Landscape was near the bottom -Still life and genre painting were unworthy subjects for art The Salons • The Salons were annual art shows sponsored by the Academy • If an artist was to have any success or recognition, it was essential achieve success in the Salons Realism What is Realism? Courbet rebelled against the strictures of the Academy, exhibiting in his own shows. Other groups of painters followed his example and began to rebel against the Academy as well. • Subjects attempt to make the ordinary into something beautiful • Subjects often include peasants and workers • Subjects attempt to show the undisguised truth of life • Realism deliberately violates the standards of the Academy.

En fait, cette scène fictive évoque symboliquement l’accord tacite passé entre les deux hommes: Bruyas trouve sa place dans la société en tant que collectionneur et mécène; Courbet a besoin d’un appui moral et financier pour préser- ver sa liberté d’artiste. Tous deux sont convaincus de l’importance du Réalisme pour l’avenir de la peinture: « Ce n’est pas nous qui nous sommes rencontrés, ce sont nos solutions » écrit Courbet à Bruyas, le 3 mai 1854. L’attitude hautaine du peintre saluant d’un air condescendant son mécène, les postures respec- tueuses et déférentes de Bruyas et de son domestique ont valu au tableau un succès de scandale. Si l’on ajoute à la cocasserie de la scène une originalité de composition et une grande qualité d’exécution, La rencontre ne peut que retenir l’attention.

His avant-garde style shocked the Salon and set in motion one of the most important movements in art history. Throughout his artistic career Courbet developed and molded his philosophies of art. He believed that art could not be taught, that one should only paint what one has seen or experienced, and he is credited with portraying women as simply nudes without clothing them in allegory. The most significant of these are his ideas on realistic depictions.

    GUSTAVE COURBET AND THE ART OF SELF-PROMOTION* *Excerpts from “To Create a Living Art: Rethinking Courbet’s Landscape Painting” by Mary Morton, associate curator of paintings, the J. Paul Getty Museum, from the fully illustrated exhibition catalogue Courbet and the Modern Landscape by Mary Morton and Charlotte Eyerman, co-curator of Courbet and the Modern Landscape. Getty Publications, 2006 (cloth: $45; available in the Getty Museum Store, by calling 800-223-3431 or 310-440-7059, or online at www.getty.edu.) Full essay available by request. In an act famous in the annals of modern French art for its revolutionary defiance and independence, Gustave Courbet (French, 1819–1877) staged a private one-man show during the 1855 Universal Exposition in Paris. Dissatisfied with the jury’s selection of works for the Salon, and hoping to capitalize on the thousands of tourists who would descend on the French capital for this international event, he Courbet, Painted by Himself —and by Gill installed 40 of his paintings in the “Pavilion of Realism” off (Courbet, peint par lui-même—et par Gill) In La Lune, no. 66 (June 9, 1867) André Gill the Champs-Elysées as a retrospective of his work to date.

The painting depicts a large studio filled with people related to his career in one way or another, at the center of which Courbet sits attentively painting a landscape of his native Franche-Comté while a nude model and a small boy look on with rapt attention.

  • Klaus Herding - Realismus (II)
    Klaus Herding - Realismus (II) Courbets Landschaftsmalerei Die Landschaftsmalerei, im ‚Atelier des Malers’ von 1855 verheißungsvoll in den Mittelpunkt gerückt, stellt für Courbet einen Hauptgegenstand seiner Malerei da. Freizeit und Arbeitswelt verzahnen sich bei ihm im Erlebnis der Landschaft. Sich in der Natur zu verausgaben, war für das Wohlbefinden des Malers unabdingbar und zugleich Gustave Courbet: Landschaft nahe Ornans. die entscheidende Motivation für 1864, Öl auf Leinwand, 88,8 x 127,2 cm. seine Malerei. Toledo, Museum of Art. Doch nicht nur private oder künstlerische Interessen verbinden sich in der Natur Courbets. So waren ihm die Felsen des Jura Widerstandsnester, Symbole einer regionalen und individuellen Unabhängigkeit, die es gegen die Zentralgewalt aufzuwerten galt. Doch ist eine solche Wertung nie nur vordergründig politisch zu verstehen. Diese „pièces de résistance” galten dem Maler als Orte der Regeneration schlechthin, Rückzugsorte ganz persönlicher Art. Courbets sprudelnde Quellen waren Symbole des Lebens, der Zeugungskraft. Gleichzeitig waren sie Orte des Schweigens und der Versenkung, aber auch Mittel der Kommunikation und nicht zuletzt willkommene Einnahmequellen. Théodore Rousseau: Der Teich. 1842/43, Öl auf Leinwand, 41,5 x 63,4 cm. Reims. Musée des Beaux-Arts. Charles-François Daubigny: Die Schleuse von Optevoz. 1859, Öl auf Leinwand, 49 x 73 cm. Paris, Musée du Louvre, RF 1370. Courbet und die ‚Schule von Barbizon’ Courbet gehörte zusammen mit den Künstlern von Barbizon zu den Malern, die als erste den Wald von Fontainebleau erkundeten. Sie taten dies aus verschiedenen Gründen: aus einer Art Überdruss an der Metropole Paris, aus der Sehnsucht nach der ‚freien’ Natur, aber auch aus einem Verlangen nach beständigen, dauerhaften Werten, die erst recht nach den Unruhen von 1848 eher in den tiefen, vermeintlich unberührten Wäldern als in den ‚Cafés de Paris’ vermutet wurden.
