James McNeill Whistler
Whistler saltó repentinamente a la fama, como una estrella errante en un momento crucial en la historia del arte, un campo en el que fue pionero. Como los impresionistas a los que admiraba, deseaba imponer sus propias ideas. La obra de Whistler puede dividirse en cuatro periodos. El primero puede llamarse periodo de investigación, en el cual recibió la influencia del realismo de Gustave Cour…

Pablo Picasso 1881 - 1914
Picasso era español y por eso, según dicen, comenzó a dibujar antes que a hablar. Cuando niño, se sintió atraído de manera instintiva hacia las herramientas del artista. En sus primeros años pasaba horas en feliz concentración dibujando espirales con un sentido y un significado que sólo él conocía. Otras veces dejaba de lado sus juegos infantiles para trazar sus primeras imágenes en…

The Origin of the World
Lacan, the last owner of Courbet's The Origin of the World, loved the painting so much that he couldn't even bring himself to look at it. Instead, he hid it behind a "safer" painting. The Chinese called it the "valley of the roses" (watch out for the thorns!), the Persians, the "honey-pot" (watch out for the bees!), and the Greeks, "the mound of Venus" (mind the steep climb!); to each era its f…

L'Origine du monde
Lacan, dernier propriétaire de L'Origine du monde de Courbet, aimait le tableau si fort qu'il ne pouvait le regarder. Alors il le cacha derrière un tableau anodin. Les Chinois l'appelaient la « vallée des roses » (attention aux épines !), les Perses « la source du miel » (attention aux abeilles !), les Grecs « le mont de Vénus » (attention à l'escalade !). À chaque époque ses fant…

Indícios da utilização do corpo na arte contemporânea para reivindicações de questões identitárias, de desigualdade social e contra diversos tipos de preconceitos podem ser percebidos nas décadas de 1960 e 1970. Com ainda maior intensidade, no final do século XX, o corpo na arte subverte normas, rejeita o moralismo social e nega a pacificação do olhar. As novas estratégias corporai…

Jean-Honoré Fragonard
Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806) punctuates the eighteenth century with a burst of fireworks, closing the arc opened by Watteau with his enchanting poems of love and melancholy. While Watteau was ethereal and profound, Fragonard was delightfully light. He captivates us even as he amuses himself, his emotional distance ever apparent. Specialising in "fêtes galantes" executed in the Rococo sty…
