The First Art Newspaper on the Net Established in 1996 Thursday, February 13, 2025 "New Paris: From Monet to Morisot" unveils the city's social upheaval behind the Impressionist brushstrokes Claude Monet, Quay du Louvre, 1867, Kunstmuseum Den Haag. THE HAGUE.- The Kunstmuseum Den Haag presents a major exhibition about the social upheavals in Paris in the second half of the nineteenth century. When Impressionism was in its infancy, the French capital underwent a radical process of gentrification, with unprecedented consequences for rich and poor alike. A transformation that has echoes in contemporary urban redevelopment. From 14 February to 1 June, New Paris: From Monet to Morisot shows the two faces of the City of Light: the one we cherish and the one we would rather forget. In 1867, Claude Monet painted three views of Paris from the balcony of the Louvre, literally turning his back on the famous classical artworks in the museum to record the here and now of life on the street. In this radical break with tradition at a time when Paris was in flux, Monet chose to paint the life he saw at his feet. This was a ‘liveable’ city with growing pains that drove those with the least to the fringes of society. The three paintings are reunited ...

A magnetic sense of proximity and directness defines her painterly approach, as she intimately captures their humanity and personal spheres. She questions how to be seen and how to represent, reflecting on interconnectedness, belonging and identity. — Thaddaeus Ropac Renowned for her bold, larger-than-life compositions that combine luminescent colour with sinuous, intricately detailed brushwork, Casteel collects impressions of her communities and the vibrant displays of humanity she encounters there.

More Denver Art Museum announces 2024 acquisitions New in the Kröller-Müller Museum collection: Ohne Titel by Blinky Palermo Paul Henry headlines Whyte's Important Irish Art auction Daniel Ridgway Knight, An Idle Moment, date not known.

OTTERLO.- The Kröller-Müller Museum acquired an important work of art: Ohne Titel (1969) by Blinky Palermo (Leipzig, 1943–Vihamanaafushi (Maldives), 1977). Blinky Palermo is the artistic name of Peter Heisterkamp, who adopted it in 1964. The name refers to an American mafioso and boxing promoter, whom Heisterkamp is said to have resembled. He has become a mythical figure, who, like Van Gogh, was a rising star who died at an early age. Palermo is one of the most important German artists of the 1960s and 1970s. His work is considered a high point of post-war abstract art. His work revolves around the tension between painting and sculpture. As such, he underscores his relationship with American minimal art, particularly Donald Judd. Ohne Titel is a key piece within Palermo's oeuvre, a prototype for later experiments with the (blue) triangle. The combination of two elements, one of which an unfathomably deep blue triangle and the other a mirrored surface, makes ... More Paul Henry, Lake and Mountains in Connemara, 1933-1936.

More Cathy Wilkes' ethereal paintings explore loss and the repose of souls in exhibition at Xavier Hufkens Gagosian presents new paintings by Derrick Adams in London Magdalena Moskalewicz named Chief Curator of Sheldon Museum of Art Cathy Wilkes, untitled, 2025 BRUSSELS.- Cathy Wilkes presents a new series of paintings, marking her first exhibition in Brussels to focus almost exclusively on two-dimensional work. Wilkes’ paintings, sculpture, and poetic writing sit precariously on the edge of legibility. The artist describes aspects of her work as a mediation; the work feels humane and commensurate with a level of intense introspective concentration. Wilkes has referred to the presence and proximity of the dead in her work, as well as the influence of her children and her own childhood in Northern Ireland. In relation to the sculptures, How It Was and I can hear the tick of your watch, Wilkes refers to reincarnation. These works, like 'the play where nothing happens', show us a place of waiting or a moment after departure. Her notes read: “We called in at a farm in Crossnacreevy. We had tea in mugs that weren’t too clean. I looked at the chairs, thinking if maybe Joseph or Jesus might have made them. Without ... More Derrick Adams, Fantastic Voyage, 2024.

The paintings convey seriocomic moments of conflict and resolution that draw from the narrative strategies of television sitcoms and movies, sharing a sense of humor and familiarity integral to the genre. They reflect the significance of pop culture and comedy in defining the joys and contradictions of contemporary life. Each painting has elements of comedic storytelling, establishing ...

The featured works, all portraits on paper—considered by many to be of equal, if not greater, importance than his paintings—showcase Schiele’s remarkable ability to capture and explore the raw emotion and vulnerability of his subjects, pushing the boundaries of modern portraiture with unparalleled intensity and insight. Schiele was born in 1890 in Tulln, Austria, during a time of profound cultural and intellectual tumult in Vienna. His early life was defined by his parents’ turbulent marriage; his father, Adolf, strict and ailing from syphilis, ...

It provides the perfect environment for the creation of her works which include photography, painting, film, and sculpture. Paradis’ process includes several steps, the first of which is the imagination of a scenario. From that vision, she creates a small, collaged maquette on paper. This maquette is used as a blueprint when she scouts for the perfect location to photograph a scene – the scouting process alone can take years. Once a location is found, Paradis designs and creates costumes, props, and her origami-influenced ...
