Monet at Fondation Beyeler


On the occasion of its twentieth anniversary, the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen (Basel, Switzerland) is presenting one of the most important artists in its collection: Claude Monet (1840-1926). The exhibition brings together sixty-three masterpieces from private collections and renowned museums such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Pola Museum in Japan, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Art Institute in Chicago. The featured works span Monet’s artistic development from Impressionism to his famous late work. In his paintings, Claude Monet experimented with the changing play of light and colors in the course of the day and the seasons. The show presents his Mediterranean landscapes, wild Atlantic coastal scenes, different stretches of the Seine, meadows with wild flowers, haystacks, water lilies, cathedrals, and bridges shrouded in fog. 15 paintings from various private collections that are seen extremely rarely are special highlights of the show. This video provides you with an exhibition walk-through during the opening reception of the exhibition on January 21, 2017.

Stable Lad with a Lantern - Stable Lad with a Lantern

NewImage

Austrian painter and writer Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller was one of the most important Austrian painters of the Biedermeier period.

Born on this day in 1793 in Vienna where he attended the Fine Arts Academy. Between 1817 and 1821 he principally focused on copying works by the Old Masters to be seen in the city’s museums and galleries and for a while worked as a miniaturist. In 1822 he exhibited five of his original works at the Fine Arts Academy. Three years later he made hisfirst trip to Italy, followed by visits to Dresden, Munich and Frankfurt. Over the next fifteen years he principally focused on portraiture. Waldmüller received his first royal commission in 1827 to paint two versions of the portrait of the Emperor Francis I (Wien Museum, and Hypotheken & Creditinstitut, Vienna). Waldmüller became the principal painter of the Biedermeier style in Austria and his paintings reflect a conservative, pleasant vision of middle-class life. His style is characterised by an attention to detail in the description of the settings and objects that surround the figures. Waldmüller was also a specialist in flower painting and from the 1830s began to paint views of the parks and outskirts of Vienna. In the following decade he became increasingly interested in genre paintings, particularly scenes of rural life, works in which the figures and details are painted in highly realistic manner with an intense illumination.

Wolfgang Rihm - Lichtes Spiel

Year of composition: 2009 


The title of Lichtes Spiel might be translated as "Light Game" or "Light Play", and may be taken as a pun on the German expression "leichtes Spiel", meaning "an easy job"; or what we might call "Child's Play". Wolfgang Rihm has said that he intended it as "a transparent orchestral movement... something light, but not 'lightweight'". The result, which uses instrumental forces of Mozartian proportions, is a detailed, finely wrought score in which the composer provides fine-tuned indications of how practically every note is to be articulated.

Instructions for tempo and mood are similarly precise. For example, the notation governing the opening section: Un poco sostenuto, non troppo lento, poco à poco più scorrendo ("A bit sustained, not too slow, bit by bit more scurrying"). It is the sort of directive one sometimes finds in Beethoven, particularly in his late works.

A fair amount of variety is incorporated into this work as well, and extends to its dynamics, which occasionally reach a point of relative loudness -- most notably in a passage marked Allegro, un poco pesante ("Fast, rather heavy") about three-quarters of the way through. Nonetheless, high volume is a rarity in this piece, which is overwhelmingly skewed toward the quiet end of the sonic spectrum. In fact, the overriding dynamic indication would appear to be pianissimo: the work begins and ends at this very quiet level, and it returns throughout as a sort of reference point from which the music may depart but to which it always returns.

Impressionism Revenge of the Nice DVB



Matthew Collings has a wonderfully simple and funny way of making you understand the when, where, why and how of important is art so this programme will get your head around impressionism in a couple of hours.


Matthew Collings will reappraise the Impressionists. The four stars are Courbet, Manet, Monet and Cezanne. In two hours their stories and their art will intertwine.

Matt will unpack the principles of Impressionism - the strength of color, the flatness, the patterning and the way in which ordinary life is pictured with startling truth - and argue that this is the best thing that has ever happened in modern art.

He will also show that although the contemporary art world seemingly despises Impressionism it is only because of Impressionism that the avant-garde came to be.

BBC Fine Art Collection 1 of 7 Mad About Monet

The original art is a human desire, depicting life through a variety of ways, but who are the masters of it? The expression means they must be unique individuals, while also embracing life. "Art Collection" by the BBC performs elaborate and time-consuming search through the years, shuttling around the museums, galleries and private collections in the world and visiting around artists friends and family. It is also showing enjoyment through the creation of classics, interspersed with an introduction to the life of the great masters of art from various periods to gain insight into their artistic core.



Mad About Monet


Oscar Claude Monet (1840-1926) A portrait of the life, work and legacy of the world's most popular artist. Featuring celebrity fans and artists, Monet's descendants, and footage of the top secret, high risk, logistical nightmare of moving 80 huge Monet paintings across the Atlantic, as the greatest exhibition of his work moves from Boston to London.

Claude monet - Artists Studios

A good studio for an artist is a very important place. Our creative studios might sometimes look like a pile of rubbish or a mixed-up room, but this is where great creations are born!

This is a view of Claude Monet standing in his first studio amidst his favorite canvases. The light of the afternoon is almost palpable.

This room located in his main house at Giverny was turned into his sitting-room after 1890.

When Monet became successful, he built a new house in the corner of his garden, where he moved his studio. He had now a well lit large room to work in and to store his paintings. The former studio became a place where he used to have a liquor after lunch, where he would sit to read a gardening book or a novel by Maupassant. Monet also used to write many letters.

The paintings for sale where displayed in the second studio whereas he kept the ones he cherished too much to sell them in the first studio.

 

The picture was made in springtime according to the tulips behind Monet. The photo reveals how much the painter loved flowers. There were at least six vases in his studio on this day!

Aldo Tambellini's BLACK IS (1965)

Aldo Tambellini is a video and film pioneer. This experimental film was made entirely without the use of a camera. "Working directly on 16mm ... I scratched, perforated, drew,used acid and other substances on the surface of the leader. ... The movement of the projector (30 frames per second) created the animated rhythm of the film. To get down to the essentials: light and motion." (Aldo Tambellini)
