FIFTY YEARS’ FANTASTIC’ a Selling Exhibition of Art of the Imagination Press Release For Immediate Release A Flight of Churches – Brigid Marlin ‘FIFTY YEARS’ FANTASTIC’ A Selling Exhibition of Art of the Imagination Monday 19th – Saturday 24th April 2009 The Society for Art of Imagination Celebrates Its Fiftieth Anniversary At La Galleria, Pall Mall, London 30 Royal Opera Arcade London SW1Y 4UY This selling exhibition, ‘Fifty Years’ Fantastic’, showcases 150 works of art selected from pieces submitted by the 400 artists who support the Society internationally. The Society lives by the credo that Art Should be Challenging. The exhibition will not only be a selling exhibition to raise funds for the charities the Society supports, but also a showcase of some of the past masterpieces from earlier shows that have become iconic images of Art of the Imagination. Prices for the works start from £150. This art form has been known by many names, including Fantastic Realism, Surrealism, Magic Realism, Visionary Art, Cosmic Art and Inspirational Art. However the work is neither purely abstract nor rigidly realistic. All artists in the Society work independently of one another across 23 countries yet their work shows a consistent ethos. This art form dates right back to the visionary paintings of Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch, through Leonardo de Vinci, William Blake, Dali’s Surrealism right up to Professor Ernst Fuchs, one of the founders of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, who is the Society’s Honorary President. Yet despite this heritage, figurative art has only recently been championed again, by none other than Charles Saatchi, and the Society is continuing to recruit artists from across the globe. The Society for Art of Imagination is the longest running group of living artists in the field of Imaginative Art in the world. The historical collection of work to be displayed includes pieces by early members, all of whom have had international exhibitions and high profile clients. Brigid Marlin, whose The Flight of Churches has become one of the iconic images of the Society through to her portraits of the Dalai Lama and the Queen Mother. Ernst Fuchs’ Biblical works include Psalm 69 (1960) and Adam and Eve in front of the Tree of Knowledge (1984). Whereas Michel Ouen de St Ouen, brought up in Central Africa from an old French family, is inspired by the Holy Grail, magic and the occult creating Sangreal and Eternal Muse that draw from legends of the lands he has lived in. Laurie Lipton’s early work Unleashed Passion portrays a child riding a savage black panther in the remains of a nursery, to her more recent Remote Control, where a terminally ill couple act out the passion of their younger selves through glove puppets – her work is known for the incredible detail and realism brought to life by her pencil. Marcus Usherwood’s Dr. Mengele’s Circus, certainly lives up to the ethos of art is challenging. Diana Hesketh’s carved wooden Leopard recalls the traditions of the Benin people. H.R.Giger merges elements from the Oscar-winning film, Alien, a bat and 1930’s automobile design to create his powerful Guardian Angel. Eike Erzmoneit’s The Narrowing of Stagefright illustrates how his work using the imagery of the wall and his fascination for exploring the idea of changing dimensions exemplified by the space analogies that harks back to his growing up in the shadow of the Berlin Wall. The selling exhibition will include paintings, mixed media sculpture, including work from a new member, Siddy Langley; she is one of the foremost glass blowers in England. The Society was founded in 1960 by a group of three artists; Peter Holland, Brigid Marlin and Jack Ray. They called themselves the Inscape Group, to symbolize the ‘inner landscape of the mind’. Then in 1993 the expanding Inscape Group changed its name to The Society for Art of Imagination. It became a US charity in 2001 with joint patrons Virginia Rogers and Ann Oestreicher. (The name Inscape is honoured in the title of the Society magazine.) The Society’s advisory board includes Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, Countess Darya Tolstoy, John Amor, Mary Craig, Mary O’Hara, and Dr Padraig O’Toole. The Honorary art patrons include some of the leading artists in this field of art, Laurie Lipton, H.R. 2 Giger, Lukas Kandl, Alex Grey, Brigid Marlin, Martina Hoffmann, Michael Parkes, Robert Venosa, Ingo Swann and Michel Ouen de Saint Ouen. Michel Ouen de St Ouen Chairman of the Society comments:”The artist should be a creator, a transformer linked to the inner spirit who, with skill and imagination, constructs a creation which embodies or symbolises a significant human value in a way which never existed before; to enhance, illuminate and perpetuate what is best in human values." -Ends- Photography Available www.artofimagination.org For further information: Brigid Marlin Tel: 01442 864454 Society for Art of the Imagination E: [email protected] 28 Castle Hill Berkhamstead W: www.artofimagination.org Herts HP4 1HE Michel Ouen de Saint Ouen Chairman UK Branch & INSCAPE Magazine Editor 17 Belgrave Gardens London NW8 0QY Media Enquiries: T: +44(0)20 3176 0144 Russell Cassleton Elliott M: +44(0)7808 403 963 Cassleton Elliott & Co. Ltd. E: [email protected] Notes to Editors: The Society was formed to assist the resurgence of interest in craftsmanship and vision in art and create a forum where artists working in this tradition can show their work created in all media and exhibit their works internationally to collectors. Since their inception, fifty years ago they have grown to an International Society with 400 artists coming from 23 countries and members all over the world. The American branch is a registered US Charity. The Society has an interactive website that showcases the art of all members with hyper-links their own sites and is affiliated to all other major societies and galleries in this genre. The Society arranged and sponsored the largest exhibition of this genre in Brooklyn in 2002. The Society has organised art classes in the Renaissance painting technique (Mische Technique) in the USA, Europe and Africa. A tour of 57 Visionary African artists which toured Europe, culminating in their Exhibition at the Mall Galleries two years ago, was also arranged as part of the charitable work undertaken by the Society. The Society has recently shown in the Zendai Museum, Shanghai, the Museum of Modern Art, Nairobi, The InterArt Gallery Manhattan New York, and the Imaginaire Gallery Denmark. 3 Art of Imagination is two-fold. It is the "art" - the skill and techniques evolved over centuries - and the "imagination" by which we mean the vision of the artist which lifts the work of art above the ordinary, and gives it a life of its own. This combination of art and vision has been created through time and blossomed at different periods throughout the history of art, notably in these periods: 14th -15th Century: The Early Flemish School which reached its high point in the visionary paintings of Jan van Eyck (1385-1441) and his brother Hubert who were the first to invent oil painting, Hieronymus Bosch (c1450-1516) painted visions which were full of a dark and surreal power 15th Century: The Italian Renaissance produced the poetic paintings of Sandro Botticelli (c1444- 1510); the mystical beauty of the works of Piero della Francesca (c1415 -1492) and the powerful and enigmatic works of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519). 16th- 17th Century: The Flemish and Dutch Schools gave rise to Pieter Breughel the Elder (1525- 1569) who gave a broad allegorical meaning to his landscapes, and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606- 1669), who did paintings of great religious intensity. 18th Century: The English Mystic Artists were William Blake (1757- 1827) a poet and visionary only appreciated by a small circle of artists late in his lifetime, and his follower and admirer Samuel Palmer (1805-1881) who founded a school of artists based on Blake called the Ancients. 19th Century: The Pre-Raphaelite Brethren formed themselves in England to return to the sincerity of the Early Renaissance before Raphael developed his "grand" manner. The three most prominent members were Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896), William Holman Hunt (1827-1910) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1892). 19th to early 20th Century: The Symbolists in France explored the exotic world of dreams. Begun by Gustave Moreau (1826- 1898) the movement embraced Odilon Redon (1840-1916) and Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Other artists in the Symbolist school were Norwegian Edvard Munch (1863-1944), and Austrian Gustav Klimt (1862- 1918). 1924 -1945 The Surrealist Movement was created after the First World War by artists and writers who were influenced by the horrors of the war and by their interest in the writings of Sigmund Freud. They were introspective, interested in exploring the subconscious. The most notable were Max Ernst (1891-1976), founder of Dada, Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1974), and Rene Magritte (1898-1967). Salvador Dali (1904-1989), with his dark dream paintings, became the most famous. In the USA Georgia O'Keeffe (1887- 1986) painted with a mystical intensity that was to influence many younger painters in America. 1945 - The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism was formed after the Second World War when a group of young artists banded together. They were Erich Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner, Wolfgang Hutter and Anton Lehmden, all marked by the horrors of the recent war. The founder of the group was Ernst Fuchs (1930 - ) whose work reflected the terrible experiences of life in a Concentration Camp. After the war ended Ernst attended the Vienna Academy of Art and there discovered that techniques were no longer being taught.

    POÉTICA VISIONÁRIA-PSICODÉLICA – ConfrontAÇÕES VISIONARY-PSYCHEDELIC POETICS – ConfrontACTIONS José Eliézer Mikosz / UNESPAR RESUMO Este trabalho traz uma retrospectiva sucinta de minha poética, aproveitando o mote das ConfrontAÇÕES, que se manifestou em meus trabalhos como forma contínua de “táticas de resistência”, tal como disposto na apresentação do tema no Edital de Abertura do 27º Encontro Nacional da ANPAP. Evidencio aqui uma busca por um imaginário e simbólico anterior ao meu ingresso na Faculdade de Belas Artes, os preconceitos encontrados nessa altura e, mais tarde, minha investigação das poéticas visionárias durante o doutoramento, concluindo com um retorno simbólico a esse imaginário anterior, através de uma pintura realizada no pós doutoramento em Lisboa, inspirado em um desenho meu realizado aos 15 anos de idade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: poéticas visionárias; pintura; psicodélico; surrealismo; imaginário. ABSTRACT This paper presents a brief retrospective of my poetics, taking advantage of the motto of Confrontations, which manifested itself in my work as a continuous form of "resistance tactics", as set forth in the presentation of the theme in the Opening Announcement of the 27th ANPAP National Meeting. Here I seek a search for an imaginary and symbolic before my entrance to the Faculty of Fine Arts, the prejudices found at that time, and later, my investigation of the visionary poetics during the doctorate, concluding with a symbolic return to my previous imaginary, through a painting done in postdoctoral studies in Lisbon, inspired by a drawing of mine at the age of 15. KEYWORDS: visionary poetics; painting; psychedelic; surrealism; imaginary. Desde o doutoramento (2005-2009) busco realizar investigações interdisciplinares dentro da produção de representações visuais inspiradas em Estados Não Ordinários de Consciência (ENOC).

Oktober 2014, 18:29 Hutter, einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus, starb bereits am 26. September - Zum Tod eines Augenlüstlings im Blumengarten Wien - Wie erst jetzt bekannt wurde, ist Wolfgang Hutter, einer der bedeutendsten Vertreter der Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus, bereits am 26. September im Alter von 85 Jahren verstorben. Hutter gründete gemeinsam mit Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner und anderen eine - im internationalen Vergleich späte - surrealistische Gruppe innerhalb des seit 1947 bestehenden Wiener Art Clubs. Erst Jahre später, 1958, prägte der Kunstkritiker Johann Muschik für sie den Begriff "Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus", der sich gegenüber anderen Vorschlägen, etwa "Phantasmagoriker", wie es ihr Mentor, der surrealistische Maler Albert Paris Gütersloh angeregt hatte, durchsetzte. Bereits seit den späten 1950er-Jahren durften sich die Künstler, zu denen etwa auch Arik Brauer und Anton Lehmden zählten, über beträchtliche (Ausstellungs-)Erfolge freuen. Verspielte Sujets foto: standard Hutter hat trotz schwerer Krankheit bis zuletzt gearbeitet. Wolfgang Hutter hatte von 1945 bis 1950 an der Akademie der Die Aufnahme stammt aus dem Jahr 2009. bildenden Künste bei Albert Paris Gütersloh, seinem leiblichen Vater, studiert. Gütersloh war ein wichtiger künstlerischer Einfluss für Hutter, insbesondere was den bühnenartigen Aufbau seiner Bilder angeht. Hutters Werk ist gekennzeichnet durch phantastische, märchenhafte, oft verspielte Sujets - künstliche Gärten, puppenhafte Wesen und ebensolche Frauenfiguren, den sogenannten "Huttermädchen" - alles in altmeisterlicher Manier und technischer Perfektion gemalt. Es war die Akribie und Akkuratesse im Detail, die, laut Hutter, seinen Zauberreichen Glaubwürdigkeit verleihen sollte.

The intention was to investigate the ‘state of the art’ on marking with a view to learning lessons fo r geological repositories. The "Preservation o f Records, Knowledge and Memory across Generations (RK&M)” project of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) found that providing such a study to a wider, and not only German speaking audience, could be very useful, and offered the platform fo r the publication of the English translation. It should be stressed that the present literature study does not seek to provide directly usable solutions in terms of marking, labelling and archiving. It is designed mainly to inform the various bodies responsible for radioactive waste disposal, national institutions as well as a wider interested public and to convey the complexity of the topic and the variety o f issues that have to be addressed in the future.

    LANDSCAPES OF REVELATION: AN INQUIRY INTO SURREALISM IN THE LANDSCAPE by MICAH S. LIPSCOMB (Under the Direction of Judith Wasserman) ABSTRACT This thesis explores landscapes in which visitors can become emotionally and perceptually disoriented and imagine they are in a dream-like space. The surreal landscapes discussed range from an Italian Renaissance garden, to contemporary landscapes designed by professionals, to environments created by visionary artists. These diverse landscapes share elements of the art and literary movement of surrealism, especially their goal of eliciting revelations. The purpose of this thesis is three-fold: first, to analyze the techniques and forms that help create a surreal landscape; second, to elucidate the relationship between surrealism and landscape architecture; and third, to demonstrate the relevance of some of the ideas of surrealism to contemporary landscape architecture.
