This piece for the 2011 Project is about art you find hidden behind art when you dismantle an old picture frame. It includes a reproduction of a painting I found hidden behind a painting in 2010.
I created a print based on the piece. Follow the link to the project website and there you’ll find a PDF file that can be downloaded and printed. The idea is that you’ll hide that print behind something else you have framed. Think of it as an art time capsule.
Ernst Barlach
Glazed stoneware (Mutz ceramics)
Barlach sought to maximise the expressive potential of his sculptures by seeking out the essence of form and gesture. He had witnessed a blind man begging when on a formative trip to Russia in 1906. By working in a technique that recalled a simplified form of traditional German woodcarving, he created this stoneware figure glazed to look like wood. It was exhibited to great acclaim at the Berlin Secession in 1907 and led to his election to the organisation.*
From the exhibition
After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art
(March – August 2023)
Explore a period of great upheaval when artists broke with established tradition and laid the foundations for the art of the 20th and the 21st centuries.
The decades between 1880 and the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 were a complex, vibrant period of artistic questioning, searching, risk-taking and innovation.
The exhibition celebrates the achievements of three giants of the era: Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin and follows the influences they had on younger generations of French artists, on their peers and on wider circles of artists across Europe in Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels and Vienna.
With nearly a hundred works by artists ranging from Klimt and Munch, Matisse and Picasso to Mondrian and Kandinsky complemented by a selection of sculpture by artists including Rodin and Camille Claudel, the exhibition follows the creation of a new, modern art, free of convention, taking in Expressionism, Cubism and Abstraction.
