Incidentally, a similar rule applies to the firm Sotheby's.

Exhibition in Paris, Monet linked with abstractionism

ART investment.RU - 21.08.2010, 11:40

In Marmottan Museum in Paris opened an exhibition "Monet and Abstract Art. The museum has the largest collection of works by Claude Monet (Claude Monet) in the world, together with Madrid Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum has created an original exposition. Its main aim - to demonstrate examples of abstract art in the works of Monet. And although he did not consider himself an impressionist abstract artist in any way, now, many critics see Claude Monet forerunner of this trend. The exhibition parallels between the later works of the artist and the works of abstract painters.

The idea is not new. Back in 1950, when abstract expressionism in America given the status of an independent direction in painting, art critic Clement Greenberg (Clement Greenberg) has a direct connection from Monet's water lilies for the New York School. Then, in 1950, MoMA has acquired several paintings of Monet and exhibited their work as "abstract impressionism".

Claude Monet himself did not show much interest in abstractionism, which at the time of his death in 1926 there already existed two decades. He liked to call their two-meter blade, which he wrote for Greenhouses Tuileries (now Orangerie Museum in Paris), great decor and even practically blinded, Monet continued to paint from life - in his garden at Giverny.

Not seen in Monet's inspiration and his own abstractionists, with the exception of Joan Mitchell (Joan Mitchell), had moved to work in Vétheuil, where the artist lived previously.

Marmottan Museum and the Spanish Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza, where the exhibition "Monet and Abstract Art" was held prior to the new theory is viewed with understandable caution. If you look, blurry landscapes almost blind Monet may recall the picture of Jackson Pollock (Jackson Pollock), although their approaches to creativity are different: Pollock was looking for ideas within themselves, and Monet is still inspired by nature.

The same can be said about Mark Rothko (Mark Rothko), Sam Francis (Sam Francis), Adolph Gottlieb (Adolph Gottlieb), and other Abstract Expressionists, whose works are represented in the exhibition: they are from another world. Only a few works by Gerhard Richter (Gerhard Richter) and Nicolas de Stael (Nicolas de Stael) can be considered binding between figurative and abstract art.

Stick to the later works of Monet label can be abstract and the purpose of commercial gain. Since his death, his son and successor Michelle was not going to sell my father's work, found in his studio in Giverny. They were perceived as supporting materials, failed sketches left behind by his work on the project wall paintings for Greenhouses Tuileries. Now imagine these paintings as works of abstract art on the art market - the idea of genius in its simplicity.

Exhibition at the Museum Marmottan will last until September 26, 2010.

In the final title of the exhibition ("abstract impressionism") is absurd. The phrase "abstract impressionism" as meaningless as the phrase "an abstract portrait, abstract still life" or "abstract landscape". They laid the same insurmountable contradictions in the phrase "fire damp" or "dry water", which makes them meaningless.
 
In general, all these exhibitions, are examples of how the curatorial plan for pursuing certain objectives distorts product. The curator of forcing the audience sucked from the finger concept creates a semantic context by using a combination of something formally similar works of art, but having little in common in their essence. It goes without saying that Claude Monet has the same relation to abstraction as a soccer ball to the globe, but unfortunately, these exhibitions took place before, place and will continue to occur. In addition, in the article above, this idea can be traced.

It is about those works from the collection of MOMA:

In fact, the title of this exhibition ("abstract impressionism") is absurd.

In general, all these shows - these are examples of how the sake of the curatorial idea, pursuing some goal, distorted the essence of the work. Curator, forcing the audience sucked from the finger concept creates a semantic context by using a combination of something formally similar works of art, but have little in common in nature. It goes without saying that Claude Monet has the same relation to abstraction, like a soccer ball to the globe. However, in the article above, this idea can be traced.

These exhibitions took place before, place and will continue to occur. A genius such projects can hardly be called. What's genius?

This chic, a site created by the order the Association of Museums of France. Monet's work in conjunction with Internet technologies - just super, to translate accurately the best of everything that had seen so far. Happy viewing! (With microphone and camera will be interesting)

Thank you! For me, this is an example of how a sum of these efforts create a relationship with a national art in the world. It is thanks to the consistent efforts over the centuries the French have formed a complete representation of his art as the highest achievement of global scale. And this is reflected not only in high prices for works by French artists, but also in areas such as tourism, diplomacy, trade and, in general, operates on the image of every Frenchman. Unfortunately, in Russia, nothing is being done is not done even the hundredth part of what makes the French. Vivid confirmation - passing now in the Tretyakov Gallery exhibition of works by Isaac Levitan. Unique in all respects, the exhibition takes place almost unnoticed by the media. Although there is, to compare with. For example, the recent exhibition of Picasso's coverage is much more active. This is evident by the number of published articles on these two events. Try to count the number of articles on the Internet and compare. I assure you that comparison would not be in favor of Levitan! But he is our national genius! And not just a national genius, and the Russian painter of Jewish origin. You just think, what opportunities for building a multinational state is hidden in this fact! And nobody saw (or did not want to see)! Shame!
