The Nabis
Pierre Bonnard was the leader of the group of post-impressionist painters who called themselves "the Nabis", from the Hebrew word for "prophet". Influenced by Odilon Redon, Puvis de Chavannes, popular imagery, and Japanese woodblock printing, Bonnard, Vuillard, Vallotton and Denis (to name the most prominent members) revolutionised the spirit of decorative technique during one of the richest pe…

Erotic Art Photography
Erotic photo art has lost much of its exquisite soul since Playboy and other girlie monthlies repackaged the human body for mass-market consumption. Like much painting, sculpture and engraving, since its beginning photography has also been at the service of eroticism. This collection presents erotic photographs from the beginning of photography until the years just before World War II. It explo…

La Photographie érotique
L'ouvrage prend le contre-pied des magazines comme Play Boy qui ont contribué à développer des images du corps féminin formatées et liées à la consommation de masse. Il est ici question de photographies coquines, de femmes dénudées et offertes au regard. L'auteur, Alexandre Dupouy, résume la situation de la photographie érotique à ses débuts et fait émerger une véritable « Écol…

Hans Memling
Memling (Hans Memling) (Seligenstadt, 1433 – Bruges, 1494) On sait très peu de choses sur la vie de Memling. On suppose qu'il était d'ascendance allemande et né à Mayence. Mais il est établi qu'il peignit à Bruges, partageant avec les van Eyck, qui avaient aussi oeuvré dans cette ville, l'honneur de compter parmi les artistes majeurs de l' «Ecole de Bruges ». Il perpétua leur métho…

Hans Memling
Im Gegensatz zu seinem Vorgänger van Eyck war Memling, der lange Zeit als ein weniger bedeutender Maler galt, kein Hofmaler, sondern ein Maler des Bürgertums. Memling geriet im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert in Vergessenheit, wird heute aber aufgrund des seine Porträts prägenden perfekten Gleichgewichts aus Realismus und Idealisierung als einer der größten Maler der Vereinigten Provinzen des 15.…

Hans Memling
Little is known of Memling's life. It is surmised that he was a German by descent but the definite fact of his life is that he painted at Bruges, sharing with the van Eycks, who had also worked in that city, the honour of being the leading artists of the so-called 'School of Bruges'. He carried on their method of painting, and added to it a quality of gentle sentiment. In his case, as in theirs…

Klee
An emblematic figure of the early 20th century, Paul Klee participated in the expansive Avant-Garde movements in Germany and Switzerland. From the vibrant Blaue Reiter movement to Surrealism at the end of the 1930s and throughout his teaching years at the Bauhaus, he attempted to capture the organic and harmonic nature of painting by alluding to other artistic mediums such as poetry, literature…
