L’œuvre schaerbeekoise d’Henry Jacobs, architecte de l’Art nouveau
Dates:23.05.2013-23.05.2013
Françoise Jurion-de Waha, vient de publier « Le petit monde de l’architecte Henry Jacobs 1864-1935» avec l’aide de Aline Wachtelaer, archiviste communale.
Le livre met en lumière, pour la première fois, le travail de cet architecte Art Nouveau polyvalent. Jacobs est aussi à l’aise dans une architecture privée élégante, raffinée dans l’harmonie des matériaux et des couleurs, tout en restant classique dans le plan, que dans le logement social ou le logement moyen, où il privilégie le confort sans tomber dans la banalité et sans négliger l’apparence.
Si nous connaissons tout particulièrement Henri Jacobs à Schaerbeek c’est qu’il y vécut, avenue Maréchal Foch, dans une maison qui porte son monogramme et qu’il y fut un infatigable bâtisseur.
Il travailla longuement pour le Foyer Schaerbeekois et dessina entre autre, La Cité L’Olivier. Il bâtit de nombreux hôtel de maitres, des commerces mais avant tout, deux splendides groupes scolaires aujourd’hui classés : Le Groupe scolaire Josaphat – véritable palais scolaire – et le groupe scolaire Roodebeek.
Françoise Jurion, archéologue issue de l’Université libre de Bruxelles et active dans la protection du patrimoine bruxellois, proposera une conférence inédite sur Jacobs à Schaerbeek et mettra en lumière sa biographie, trop peu connue, ses amitiés et ses liens avec les commanditaires schaerbeekois.
Le livre sera disponible au prix de lancement de 49 € (au lieu de 60 €).
Editions de la Société Royale d’Archéologie de Bruxelles.
Entrée libre mais réservation souhaitée : Cabinet de Cécile Jodogne, Echevine de l’Urbanisme et du Patrimoine

Edvard Munch: A 150th Anniversary Tribute
Dates:19.05.2013-28.07.2013
This 150th birthday tribute to Edvard Munch (1863–1944), Norway’s most famed painter and printmaker, includes more than 20 renowned works from the Gallery’s collection, such as Geschrei (The Scream) (1895), The Madonna (1895, printed 1912/1913), and a unique series of six variant impressions, Two Women on the Shore (1898, printed 1906–c. 1917 or later). Munch is today revered for his passionate visual expression of intense human experiences. “Art is your heart’s blood,” he said. His most famous image—a screaming figure, its eyes wide with horror—is an icon of anxiety, alienation, and anguish. Attraction, love, jealousy, and death were also recurring themes. In addition to these dramatic subjects, Munch made many telling portraits, tender visions of women, as well as sensitive studies of lovers, children, and adolescents. However, the real power of his art lies less in his biography than in his ability to extrapolate universal human experiences from his own life. In recent decades the National Gallery of Art has presented three major exhibitions of Munch’s work, the last in 2010.

New Explorations in International Design 1878–2000
Dates:05.02.2013-31.12.2013
Though we had a soft opening in November, about 25 more extraordinary objects—from the December auctions of Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Quittenbaum (Munich) and others—have been added to our New Explorations exhibition. Now on display, as of February 5, are 101 objects which are new acquisitions (92), or haven’t been on view for over two years (9).
Key Facts:
Not since 2009 has our International Decorative Art Collection been showcased at Kirkland Museum in such a comprehensive way.
These 101 items have been added to all eleven of our design areas: Arts & Crafts, Aesthetic, Art Nouveau, Glasgow Style, Wiener Werkstätte, De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Modern, Pop Art and Post-Modern—a methodically planned, comprehensive growth.
New Explorations in International Design 1878–2000 highlights our international design collection, recognized as one of the most important displays in North America, from the last quarter of the 19th century through the 20th century. Major, new acquisitions are integrated into the Kirkland’s salon settings.
The 101 recently displayed objects are in addition to the many new decorative art acquisitions that have been put on view over the last several years. Although a corresponding number of objects have been rotated off view, of course, there is a net gain of quality and diversity.
The hallmark salon atmosphere of Kirkland Museum, showing decorative and fine art together, has been maintained with inviting vignettes composed wherever possible. This makes us notably different in presentation from most other museums.
The earliest work is a tapestry (1878) by the English artist William Morris, the initial driving force of the Arts & Crafts movement. The most recent work is a six-piece coffee/tea service (2000) by the late Eva Zeisel, made in a limited edition of 200 by the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, St. Petersburg, Russia. The items have been integrated into the design groupings at the Kirkland, replacing some objects previously on display, so that they enhance the remaining objects and better define each design style within their areas.
Objects in five different categories have been added: furniture (27), metal (17), ceramics (25), textiles (5) and glass (27). The diversity of these pieces strengthens both the educational experience and the entertainment experience.

The Charlier museum and Victor Horta
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
In 1890, the patron of the arts Henri Van Cutsem (1839-1904) inherited a townhouse in the neoclassical style at 16 avenue des Arts in Sint-Josse-ten-Noode, a borough neighbouring the historical city centre of Brussels. To show off his art collections to best effect, Van Cutsem entrusted the works to extend his home and convert the stables and annexes to a young and as yet unknown architect: Victor Horta. Between 1890 and 1893 the latter designed two galleries topped with glass roofs with metal supports and a new facade giving onto rue de la Charité. This enlarged Hôtel Charlier provides an early example of the innovations that would later become distinctive of the work of the master of Art Nouveau: the fluidity and transparency of the interior spaces, the use and affirmation of visible metal in a private home, fruit at the base of walls to lend an organic illusion, etc. In 1928, the townhouse became known as the "Charlier Museum" in memory of the sculptor Guillaume Charlier (1854-1925), Van Cutsem's universal legatee, who donated the house and its art collections to the borough of Sint-Josse-ten-Noorde. In 1993 the museum was listed as a historical monument by the Brussels-Capital Region.

Dates:22.06.2013-10.11.2013
The exclusive objects produced by the renowned French jewellery designer and glass artist René Lalique are iconic symbols of luxury from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.

René Lalique (1860 – 1945) – Master of French Art Nouveau and Art Deco is the Netherlands’ first ever major exhibition of his work.

Edith as a muse
Dates:26.04.2013-14.07.2013
A PROJECT BY PUCK VERKADE
Schiele painted the portrait of his wife not as a standard muse, but as a rather timid and wary young girl, dressed in the striped frock she had made from curtain fabric to wear at her wedding. In Edith as Muse, Puck Verkade explores the dividing lines between history, imagination and truth. She herself appears as a contemporary personification of Edith to take visitors on a unique tour of various installations dotted around the museum and composed of documents, videos and objects. In this exciting ‘gesamtkunstwerk’, featuring three installations, tours and interactive round table discussions, Verkade gets right under the skin of Schiele’s young wife.

Promenades Art Nouveau à Bruxelles
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
Bruxelles mérite sans conteste le titre de capitale de l'architecture Art nouveau. Entre l'hôtel Tassel, première maison Art nouveau construite par Victor Horta en 1893, et le palais Stoclet, chef-d'oeuvre de Joseph Hoffmann terminé peu avant le début de la Première Guerre mondiale, Bruxelles a vu s'ériger quelque 500 maisons ou façades Art nouveau actuellement cataloguées. Ce guide propose quatre circuits permettant de découvrir l'essentiel de ce patrimoine exceptionnel. Les trois premières promenades (le quartier Louise, les étangs d'Ixelles, le square Ambiorix et ses environs) peuvent se faire à pied en une demi-journée chacune. La quatrième promenade, couvrant plusieurs quartiers anciens, peut se faire en voiture ou être scindée en plusieurs visites à pied.

Décrottoirs! Voetschrapers! Boot scrapers!
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
Jusqu'au siècle dernier, le décrottoir faisait partie des civilités et du rituel de l'entrée des édifices publics comme de l'entrée dans l'habitat individuel. On s'y essuyait la semelle au retour des flâneries dans la capitale boueuse ou des bois
environnants. Ce petit accessoire dont il ne reste souvent qu'un trou au pied de la porte d'entrée raconte l'histoire de nos trottoirs, des promenades urbaines, des petits métiers comme celui du décrotteur, l'histoire d'un morceau d'architecture aujourd'hui considéré comme petit patrimoine à sauvegarder.
Si l'on rencontre des décrottoirs aussi bien aux États-Unis qu'en Afrique, l'abondance de la moisson photographique présentée montre que Bruxelles est l'une des seules capitales européennes à offrir un si large éventail de ces ustensiles du temps jadis.

Les écoles de la ville de Bruxelles - Un patrimoine architectural
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
L'Athénée Robert Catteau, rue Ernest Allard, le Lycée Dachsbeck, rue de la Paille, l'Académie royale des Beaux-Arts, rue du Midi, ou encore l'Athénée Léon Lepage, rue des Riches-Claires, sont des établissements bien connus des Bruxellois. Mais, en passant rue de Rollebeek, rue Haute, rue des Capucins, qui sait que, derrière certaines façades dont la largeur ne dépasse pas celle d'une habitation, se cachent d'imposants établissements scolaires à l'architecture somptueuse. Ces écoles, dont la construction a commencé peu de temps après l'indépendance de la Belgique, sont aujourd'hui restées dans un état de conservation remarquable qui témoigne du soin avec lequel elles ont été bâties. Pourquoi la Ville de Bruxelles a-t-elle construit de si nombreuses écoles en si peu de temps, qu'ont-elles en commun, quelles circonstances ont entouré leur construction... ? Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage tente de répondre. L'histoire de la construction de plus de quarante bâtiments, sélectionnés pour leur valeur architecturale et historique, est illustrée par de nombreux documents d'archives et photographies. Le sujet est introduit par deux articles. L'un tente de résumer dans quel contexte politique, philosophique et social la Ville de Bruxelles a développé, pendant près d'un siècle, un aussi important réseau laïque de bâtiments scolaires tant pour les filles que pour les garçons. L'autre s?attache à décrire leurs spécificités architecturales et à mettre en évidence leurs caractéristiques communes.

Les Mots de Victor Horta
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
Collection "Les Mots de l’Architecture"
Au même titre que les peintures ou les sculptures, les dessins d’architecture parlent à l’imaginaire.
Les faire découvrir afin d’éveiller la curiosité par l’architecture : voici l’objectif de cette nouvelle collection destinée aussi bien aux enfants qu’aux adultes.
C’est également une invitation à poser un regard plus familier sur la ville encore souvent hostile, démesurée ou indifférente.
Ces livres ont été réalisés à partir des dessins choisis dans es fonds des Archives d’Architecture Moderne à Bruxelles, une des plus belles collections de dessins d’architecture d’Europe.
LE CONCEPT
Chaque livre présente une cinquantaine de termes d’architecture illustrés par un dessin d’architecte. Chaque mot illustré est accompagné :
- d’une brève définition destinée aux adultes et aux " grands enfants ",
- d’une citation littéraire qui a pour but de développer l’imaginaire lié à l’architecture et de permettre un niveau de lecture plus ludique,
- parfois d’un dessin au trait, en vignette, qui reproduit l’élément architectural de manière stylisée afin de mettre l’accent sur ses caractéristiques principales et d’éviter toute confusion.
Il y a donc plusieurs niveaux de lecture possibles :
- le mot, sa définition, l’image, le dessin explicatif en vignette et la citation littéraire.
