BEIJING.- The Pace Gallery, Beijing presents an exhibition of Yue Minjun's
recent works in cooperation with Robb Report. The exhibition, entitled The
Road, is the leading Chinese contemporary artist's first solo exhibition in
the Pace Gallery, Beijing. The exhibition is on from June 11th through July
16th. More than two decades into his artistic career, Yue is still smiling
at
the world as he sees it. His trademark "Smile" symbol, the playful, mocking
hallmark of the artist's cynical realist style, conceals within it a spirit
that's sometimes stubborn and fragile. On exhibition until July 16th at the
Pace Gallery in Beijing, China.
By mocking his subject's nihility, he stands apart from - and in judgment
of
- it in a unique way. Despite the world changing around him, Yue's
distinctive style hasn't changed much. So should our understanding of his
work
change? If the object of the "Smile" has changed, should there be some shift
in the feel of the "Smile" itself? Or could it be that nothing changed at
all?
In his newest exhibition, Yue's work takes on Christian forms. The strength
of Western culture has pushed more than a few Chinese people into an
existence stripped of its cultural core, making them into nomads, wandering
in
the space between two cultures. By altering the semantic relationships
between
the people and space in the original works, the works seem almost to
dissolve
away, neatly avoiding the contradictions and embarrassment inherent to any
collision between two cultures. As the curator Leng Lin stated, "Confronted
with something you don't completely understand, a smile can mean rejection,
or confusion. But it can also mean inclusion and acceptance."
Yue Minjun
Yue Minjun (b. 1962, Heilongjiang, China) has been quoted as saying he
"always found laughter irresistible." Best known for his oil paintings
depicting himself with his trademark smile, Yue is a leading figure in the
Chinese contemporary art scene. He has exhibited widely and is recognized as
one of the breakout stars of his generation. The artist currently lives and
works in Beijing.
In his earlier work, surrealism had an especially strong influence on him.
His self-portraits from the 1990s were the first to depict his easy,
automatic smile, but the figures warmth masked underlying emotions. The
smile
became a mask as the paintings' complexities were played out in the
figures'
arrangements or poses. His work became further influenced by western art
history as he began arranging his figures in poses or settings reminiscent
of
the masterpieces.
Yue has also been continuing his Scene series in which his removes figures
from historical Chinese socialist paintings and well-known western
paintings.
"In typical socialist paintings in China looked very realistic but were
indeed surreal. They served for heroic fantasies, and the images of great
people or the heroes in the paintings could well justify the fabricated
scenes."
Yue Minjun has shown internationally including The Archeological Discovery
in
AD3009 at ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Aarhus; Half-life of a Dream:
Contemporary
Chinese Art from the Logan Collection at San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art,
San Francisco; solo museum exhibition Yue Minjun and the Symbolic Smile
(2007
– 2008) at Queens Museum of Art, Queens, New York; The Reproduction of
Idols:
Yue Minjun Works, 2004-2006 (2006) at the He Xiangning Art Museum,
Shenzhen,
China. He has also been included in the 2008 and 2004 Shanghai Biennales,
and
the 48th Venice Biennale, Venice (1999).

BERLIN.- As the creator of images like Underwater Swimmer (1917), Chez
Mondrian (1926) or Gabel (1929) André Kertész has a firm place in 20th
century photographic history. It is not only his formally outstanding
compositions which won him great esteem, but the surreally inspired poetry
with which he captures such apparently simple things and situations. His
innovative photographic instinct inspired many of his colleagues: Brassaï
learned from him and Henri Cartier-Bresson betrays his influence. Berlin's
Martin-Gropius-Bau is showing a grand retrospective of over 300 photographs
by André Kertész, who was born in Hungary and lived in Budapest, Paris and
New York. On view until 11 September.

WASHINGTON, DC.- After a visit to his native Moscow in 1912, Wassily
Kandinsky
(1866−1944) sought to record the "extremely powerful impressions" that
lingered in his memory. Working tirelessly through numerous drawings,
watercolors, and oil studies over a five-month period, Kandinsky eventually
arrived at his 1913 masterpiece, Painting with White Border. This
exhibition,
co-organized with The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, reunites Painting
with White Border with 11 preparatory studies in oil, watercolor, ink, and
pencil from international collections. By examining this singular
masterpiece
within the context of Kandinsky's artistic production, the exhibition sheds
light on a defining moment in his career. It coincides with the centennial
anniversary of Kandinsky's seminal publication, Concerning the Spiritual in
Art (1911), a breakthrough treatise of profound significance to generations
of artists and the international development of abstract art.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The de Young Museum presents a major exhibition by the
seminal artist of the 20th century, Pablo Picasso. The exhibition Picasso:
Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris, opens on Saturday,
June
11, in the Herbst Special Exhibition Galleries and runs through October
9th.
This exhibition of 150 important paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings
created by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) is drawn from the permanent collection
of
the Musée National Picasso, Paris, the largest and most significant
repository
of the artist's work in the world, and comes to the de Young as part of an
international tour. The artwork is touring because the Musée is currently
closed and undergoing a multi-year renovation expected to last through
2012.
Ranging from informal sketchbooks to finished iconic masterpieces, this
unique collection of "Picasso's Picassos" provides significant proof of the
artist's assertion that "I am the greatest collector of Picassos in the
world."
"This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition comprises works from every phase of
Picasso's extraordinary career, including masterpieces from his Blue, Rose,
Expressionist, Cubist, Neoclassical and Surrealist periods," describes John
E.
Buchanan, Jr., director of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. "These
works present eloquent testimony to his role as a protean figure who not
only
created and contributed to new art forms and movements, but also forever
transformed the very definition of art itself. Following on the heels of
our
recent exhibitions of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, this exhibition
represents a natural progression forward to the masterworks of the 20th
century."
"The exhibition Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso,
Paris
lifts the curtain on the first act of a groundbreaking partnership between
the Musée Picasso and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, with the
intention of deepening our institutional, artistic and scientific links
over
the coming decade," says Anne Baldassari, general commissioner and
president
of the Musée National Picasso.
The exhibition, co-organized by the Musée National Picasso and the Fine
Arts
Museums of San Francisco, is part of a world tour that began in 2008 with
stops at museums in Madrid, Helsinki, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Seattle,
Richmond (VA), San Francisco and Sydney.
The Musée National Picasso's collection preserves the highly personal works
that Pablo Picasso kept for himself with the intention of shaping his own
artistic legacy. Exhibited chronologically, covering all the phases of the
modern master's expansive eight-decade-long career and featuring the
various
media in which he worked, this meticulously assembled presentation
includes:
• One of his earliest Paris works—The Death of Casagemas (1901)
• The Blue period—La Célestine (1904)
• The Rose period—The Two Brothers (1906)
• African-inspired proto-Cubist work —studies for Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
(1907) and Three Figures Under a Tree (1907)
• Analytic Cubism—Man with a Guitar (1911)
• Synthetic Cubism—Violin (1915)
• The Neoclassical period—Two Women Running on the Beach (1922)
• Surrealism—The Kiss (1925)
• The war years—The Weeping Woman (1937), and the sculptures Bull's Head
(1942) and Death's Head (1943)
Picasso developed a unique personal style for each new woman in his life,
and
remarked, "How awful for a woman to realize from my work that she is being
supplanted." The exhibition chronicles Picasso's tempestuous relationships
with three of the significant women in his life and demonstrates how his
work
changed with each relationship:
• His first wife Olga Khokhlova, realistically depicted in Portrait of Olga
in an Armchair (1918)
• Mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter, whose affair with Picasso began when she
was 17, portrayed in voluptuous curves, pastel colors and soft sinuous
volumes in Reclining Nude (1932) and a series of five bronze busts created
in
1931 that range from recognizable representations to the nearly abstract.
• Mistress Dora Maar, the photographer whose passionate and emotionally
charged relationship with Picasso was represented in works characterized by
hard-edged, jagged lines, angular forms and acidic colors, such as Portrait
of Dora Maar (1937).
Sculpture plays an important part in the exhibition, demonstrating
Picasso's
aesthetic three-dimensionally and featuring work that spans Picasso's
career,
including an early bust, The Jester (1905); Figure (1907), a roughly hewn
wooden piece inspired by Picasso's fascination with African tribal art;
Head
of a Woman (1909), widely considered the first Cubist sculpture; the relief
construction Guitar and Bottle of Bass (1913); a multimedia assemblage, The
Violin (1915); the Bull's Head (1942), constructed from a cast-off bicycle
seat and handlebars; the iconic bronze The Goat (1950); and the life-sized,
six-piece figurative series created during a summer in Cannes, The Bathers
(1956).
"I haven't got a style," Picasso claimed, but over the course of his long
and
prolific career, he created revolutionary works that laid the foundations
of
modern art.

Milan, Italy.- Alberto Savinio - real name Andrea Francesco Alberto de
Chirico - (1891-1952) was an Italian writer, painter, musician, journalist,
essayist, playwright, set designer and composer. He was the younger brother
of 'metaphysical' painter Giorgio De Chirico. His work often dealt with
philosophical and psychological themes, and he also was heavily concerned
with the philosophy of art. Early in their lives, Andrea and his brother,
Giorgio were nearly inseparable, even referring to themselves as Castor and
Pollux, the warrior twins. As children, there was tremendous collaboration
between the brothers that led to strong overlap of themes later in life.
The
most well noted of these overlapping themes was that of the mythical Greek
Argonauts, as a metaphor for their development and journey as artists.

Jun
2011 08:08 PM PDT Berlin, Germany - Andreas Feininger (1906-1999), a
Bauhaus
student and the eldest son of Lyonel Feininger, regarded this as the most
important prerequisite for good photography. He belonged to a generation of
artists who, during the period after the First World War, discovered
photography as an artistic medium that utilized an unbiased apparatus-the
camera-to represent reality objectively. In the process, they developed a
new
mode of photographic perception. Clarity, simplicity and organisation were
basic principles of Andreas Feininger's work. In a way that was almost
unparalleled, he successfully combined thematic content with rigorous
formal
criteria and the demands of perspective and composition.

Paris, France - In 1983, Marcel Fleiss, owner of the Galerie 1900-2000
here,
mounted an exhibition of Czech art titled "Surréalisme en Tchécoslovaquie"
after a harrowing buying trip to Prague the previous year, at a time when
art
and artists were viewed with hostility and suspicion. "Artists were watched
closely by police," said Mr. Fleiss, who still owns and operates the
gallery.
"It was nearly impossible for artworks to leave the country even though the
state disdained its own artists." "The Paris show was sold out at prices
that would seem ludicrous today," he added, because they were so low.
These
days, acquiring Czech modern art proves more expensive than dangerous. Ever
since the fall of communism in 1989, demand for artworks by 20th-century
artists from Prague has been steadily rising, with prices climbing in the
Czech Republic and elsewhere, especially in the past 5 to 10 years. Works
by
the most prominent Czech modern artists now sell at auction for hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

The Max Ernst Museum Brühl of LVR is the world's first and only museum that
is
the work of this seminal artist and world citizen Max Ernst (1891-1976)
dedicated. It shows an overview of the extensive work of the Dadaists and
Surrealists, whose imagery - as with almost any other artist of the 20th
Century - are distinguished by astonishing creativity and inspiring genius.
Max Ernst not only created a large number of paintings, collages, graphics,
sculptures and assemblages, and his boundless creativity was reflected in
numerous books, artist portfolios and poems. In his world of images we
encounter poetic landscapes, fantastic compositions and bizarre creatures
whose powers of invention and clever wit and fascinating at the same time
and
cause confusion in the viewer inexorably lead an effeminate wake of the
suggestion. The painter, sculptor, graphic artist and poet Max Ernst is one
of
the most important representatives of the Dadaism and Surrealism. Early in
his
life he breaks with conventional painting and turns towards the use of
indirect techniques such as over-paintings, collage, frottage (rubbing
technique), grattage (scrapping technique) and decalcomania (tracing
technique
with oil colours). These techniques serve the systematic survey of the
realms
„Beyond Painting" (Max Ernst). By exploiting his hallucinatory capabilities
Max Ernst reinterprets objects and structures of his environment to then fix
his visionary perception of the world. The alienation of the ordinary as
well
as the irritating orchestration of the inexplicable and the dreamlike are
consistently broken up by irony and humor in his many works of art. During
the
summer of 1934, German-born artist Max Ernst executed a mural for the
Dancing
Mascotte, the bar at Zürich's Corso Theatre. One of the largest painted
works
of the artist's seven-decade career, Pétales et jardin de la nymphe Ancolie
(Petals and Garden of Nymph Ancolie) adorned a wall of the popular nightspot
in Zurich. Based on an illustration found in a Victorian-era botanical
encyclopedia, the surrealist imagery features a dancing bird-like figure
emerging from a lush backdrop of red and gold flower petals. This amazing
huge
nightclub mural has been full restored and on display until March, 2011. The
Max Ernst Museum Brühl of LVR also presents five major works by Max Ernst
from
the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas, makes for a whole year under the
"collection on display in the change." The Menil Collection is one of the
world's largest private art collections. Given the Menil's preeminent Ernst
holdings – the result of a lifelong friendship between the artist and John
and
Dominque de Menil – the Houston museum was the ideal venue for the debut of
the fully restored Pétales et jardin de la nymphe Ancolie. The de Menils met
the artist for the first time, in Paris, in 1934 – the year Ernst completed
the Zürich mural.
