21c (twenty fist century) Museum Hotel in Bentonville opened in February 2013. It is a very moderne hotel building which doubles as an art museum open to the the public 24/7. The $28 million hotel/restaurant/meeting center/museum is 1 block from Bentonville's courthouse square and a 15 minute trail walk from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.
Bentonville’s 21c is much like the flagship hotel - the 21c Hotel & Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. It was designed by the same architect, Deborah Berke & Partners of New York. The firm also designed the James Hotel (now the Saguaro) Scottsdale, Arizona in 2004.
The owners are Kentucky art collectors Laura Lee Brown and husband Steve Wilson. Ms. Brown, is the 72-year-old great-granddaughter of the founder of liquor company Brown-Forman, whose brands include Jack Daniel's and Southern Comfort.Mr. Wilson, is a 65-year-old former public-relations officer for four Kentucky governors. The project was built in conjunction with the Walton family and the nonprofit Bentonville Revitalization Inc.
Emmanuel Gardinier was the opening general manager of the 21c Museum Hotel. Previously Gardinier was managing director for the Planters Inn in Charleston, S.C.
Art is everywhere at 21c. There are pieces in each of the rooms and suites. Art is found in the most unexpected of places, including the fitness center, which features the piece “Fat Batman” suspended from the ceiling.
Each 21c location features large penguin statues designed by Cracking Art Group of Italy throughout its property. A different color at each museum/hotel (green in Bentonville), the penguin is a staple for 21c. The penguin statues, which are “mysteriously” moved throughout the property, are one of only a few permanent art fixtures in the museum, which changes exhibitions every six months.

ART MODERNE et ROMANTISME
Les historiens de l'art fixent habituellement les débuts de l'art moderne aux impressionnistes. Mais bien évidemment cette périodisation est relative. Il est possible de remonter aux pré-impressionnistes de l'école de Barbizon, ou encore plus au début du siècle, dans les années 1810-1840 aux romantiques. Et ce pour toute l'Europe..
Les écoles romantiques européennes ont en effet un double visage. Les peintres peuvent être romantiques par les thèmes de leur tableau et leur sensibilité, leur vision du monde, mais ces thèmes peuvent êtres peints et cette sensibilité s'exprimer dans un style très classique, académique, avec un dessin très fini et une touche du pinceau imperceptible. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, classé à la fois dans le néo-classicisme et le romantisme illustre bien ce courant. Cette école est très précoce et très importante dans les pays germaniques et aussi scandinaves.
Toutefois certains peintres romantiques ont exploré certains des premiers procédés techniques de l'art moderne, notamment l'impressionnisme le flou, l'esquisse. Ils ont souvent esquissé "la peinture plate" c'est à dire une réduction des volumes et de la perspective par rapport à notre vision exacte du monde, en trois dimensions. Ils ont pu même approcher l'art abstrait. Il est possible de citer Turner, Constable, Delacroix et chez les Germaniques Carl Blechen. Ces peintres annoncent très clairement certaines audaces esthétiques de l'Art Moderne.
Art historians usually fix the beginnings of modern art to the impressionists. But of course this periodization is relative. It is possible go back higher in time to the pre-impressionists of the Barbizon school or even more at the beginning of the century, in the years 1810-1840 to the romantics. And this for all of Europe. We can mention Turner, Constable, Delacroix and the German Karl Blechen.
European romantic schools have indeed a double face. Painters can be romantic by the themes of their painting and their sensibility, their vision of the world, but these themes can be painted and this sensitivity express themselves in a very classic style, academic, with a very finished drawing and a touch of the brush imperceptible. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, classed both in neo-classicism and romanticism illustrates this current. This school is very early and very important in the Germanic and also Scandinavian countries.
However some romantic painters have explored some of the early technical processes of modern art, including impressionism, fuzziness, sketching. They often sketched "flat painting", ie a reduction of volumes and perspective compared to our exact vision of the world, in three dimensions. They could even approach abstract art. It is possible to mention Turner, Constable, Delacroix and the German Carl Blechen. These painters announce very clearly some aesthetic audacities of Modern Art.
