Madrid modernista: guía de arquitectura
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
Se agrupan y presentan los edificios madrileños que recibieron la influencia de las distintas corrientes del modernismo internacional.
Esta guía de arquitectura pretende cubrir un vacío existente en el panorama editorial respecto al estudio e inventario de la arquitectura modernista. Para ello, se agrupan y presentan los edificios madrileños que de una forma u otra recibieron, desde patrones eclécticos, la influencia de las distintas corrientes del modernismo internacional. Se han seleccionado los edificios mas destacados de Madrid en los que se aprecian aspectos decorativos modernistas, desde grandes creaciones del modernismo madrileño hasta simples ejemplos de detalles ornamentales. Reflejando el sentido integrador de todas las artes decorativas que caracterizan el modernismo, se mencionan no sólo los arquitectos, primeros responsables de los proyectos y del diseño de muchos elementos decorativos, sino también los diferentes artistas que colaboraron con ellos: rejeros vidrieros, ceramistas, escultores y pintores. El libro divide en tres etapas la evolución del modernismo madrileño. Una fase preliminar, que se inicia en torno a 1900 con la tímida aparición del art nouveau en realizaciones eclécticas y finaliza con las primeras creaciones donde el estilo se muestra con absoluta claridad; un segundo periodo de amplia difusión, que arranca en 1904 y concluye con el surgimiento del regionalismo; y una época tardía, alrededor de 1920, en la cual el modernismo cede ante diversas tendencias arquitectónicas que, como el art déco, hunden sus raíces en el propio fenómeno modernista.

L'Art nouveau en France
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
L'Art Nouveau français est né au début des années 1890, à Nancy et à Paris, de la réunion de peintres, de sculpteurs, d'architectes, d'artisans et d'industriels, sous les bannières de L'Art dans tout et de L'Art pour tous. Cette nouvelle forme d'art rassembla des hommes aussi différents qu'Emile Gallé, Eugène Grasset, Hector Guimard ou Victor Prouvé. Les formes des objets se mirent à ressembler à la vie. De la rêverie sur l'eau naquirent des tableaux, des céramiques, des œuvres de verre. La plante fournit des modèles de lampes, de cheminées, de tables ou de lits. Du corps de la femme on fit des coffrets à bijoux, des bibliothèques ou des videpoches. L'homme au travail devint l'image du bonheur. De ce monde perdu ce livre exhume quelques-uns des plus beaux chefs-d'œuvre, et les situe dans l'histoire du tout début du XXe siècle.

Gustav Klimt: The Magic of Line
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
The phenomenal draftsman Gustav Klimt occupies a unique place in modern art. His extant œuvre comprises some 250 paintings and more than 4,000 works on paper. The study of the human figure—above all female—lies at the heart of the artist's activity as a draftsman, which he practiced assiduously.Through his study of the poses and gestures of his models, Klimt repeatedly examined the essence of particular psychological and existential states of being. In his constant quest for the ideal solution, Klimt often went beyond the preparation of his paintings, which, particularly after 1900, were dominated by the themes of Eros, Love, Life, and Death. His art cannot be understood without carefully considering the drawings, which are characterized by an unsurpassed mastery of line, in all the phases of his artistic development—from Historicism, through Stilkunst around 1900, the Golden Period, and up to his freer late work.
This lavishly illustrated publication accompanies the exhibition organized by the Albertina Museum in Vienna (March 13 to June 10, 2012) and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (July 3 to September 23, 2012) to mark the 150th anniversary of Gustav Klimt's birth. In both venues, the emphasis will be placed on showing not only the variety of his draftsmanship, but also the centrality of drawing to Klimt's artistic enterprise. Most of the works on display will come from the Albertina's outstanding collection, one of the most extensive and representative groups of Klimt drawings in the world, complemented by select Austrian and international loans.
Marian Bisanz-Prakken is curator at the Albertina Museum, Vienna, and the reigning expert on Klimt drawings. She has published many books and articles on the subject.

L'épopée lorraine - l'Art nouveau
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
La France traumatisée par la défaite de 1870, pleure ses provinces arrachées à la mère patrie.
On imagine difficilement aujourd’hui, à l’heure de l’Europe sans frontières et de l’affirmation quotidienne de l’amitié entre les peuples de part et d’autre du Rhin, quel drame humain considérable constitua l’annexion de l’Alsace et de la Moselle pour les populations.
Les hasards de l’histoire vont transformer la ville de Nancy pendant plus de quarante ans en un inexpugnable bastion intellectuel. Nancy devient la dynamique capitale de l’Est de la France. Un vent nouveau souffle sur la cité lorraine et ses habitants : le commerce est florissant, les industries se développent, les arts et les spectacles connaissent un engouement inattendu.
Au cœur de cet essor, les grands maîtres de l ‘Art Nouveau, soutenus par des mécènes et des collectionneurs éclairés, font de Nancy un terrain d’idées et de créations unique en Europe.
Les noms de Gallé, Daum, Majorelle, Prouvé, tous s’entourent d’une myriade d’artisans : verriers, ébénistes, forgerons… Ensemble, ils écriront la Grande épopée Lorraine, celle de l’Ecole de Nancy.
Ce livre illustré de photos rares, enrichi de nombreux témoignages et de documents d’archives, raconte la formidable aventure humaine de l’Art nouveau à Nancy et en Lorraine.

L'art au creux de la main
Dates:12.12.2012-30.06.2013
Exposition organisée à l’initiative du Musée d’Orsay (Paris).
Fruit du travail des plus grands sculpteurs et médailleurs de l’époque, la médaille fut très en vogue au XIXe et au début du XXe siècle. Apprécié des plus grands sculpteurs et médailleurs de l’époque, l’art de la médaille a connu un succès considérable de 1850 à 1930 ; il est à la fois officiel et intime, lié aux grands événements historiques, politiques, artistiques, scientifiques et sociaux mais aussi d’ordre privé et familial. Il met en image la petite histoire comme la grande tout en ayant la mission de la commémorer.
Devenue confidentielle au fil du XXe siècle, la médaille connaît aujourd’hui un regain d’ intérêt de la part d’un public sensible à son histoire. Elle séduit par les fines qualités d’imagination, de composition et d’exécution déployées par les artistes pour servir un souvenir destiné à se contempler au creux de la main ; à cet égard, elle est source d’émotion.
L’exposition constitue l’occasion de mettre en valeur la collection tombée dans l’oubli et qui pourtant fait apparaître les noms des meilleurs artistes tels que Jules Chaplain (1839-1909) l’auteur des pièces au coq ou Oscar Roty (1846-1911), l’auteur de la Semeuse. L’exposition s’articule autour de dons essentiels consentis dans les années 1880-1914 par le baron Alphonse de Rothschild, le sculpteur parisien Frédéric Vernon (1858-1912) et surtout le sculpteur lillois Hippolyte Lefebvre (1863-1935), ainsi que plus récemment par Elisabeth et Jacques Foucart, conservateurs au musée du Louvre.
L’exposition donnera lieu à la publication d’un catalogue, ainsi qu’à la diffusion d’un petit guide de visite gratuit.
Commissaires: Annie Scottez-De Wambrechies, conservateur en chef XVIIIe - XIXe s.
Elisabeth De Jonckheere, assistante de conservation dept. XIXe s.
François Becuwe, chargé de la collection numismatique, de la bibliothèque et de la documentation.

L’Art nouveau dans le quartier du Jardin botanique (Liège)
Dates:26.10.2013-26.10.2013
À la charnière des XIXe et XXe siècles des artistes se lancent dans une aventure nouvelle. Ils abandonnent les références du passé et font confiance au potentiel créatif du présent. L'architecte, l'artisan d'art, l'artiste décorateur, vont travailler de concert et créer un espace où la distinction entre art majeur et art mineur est abolie au profit d'une conception d'ensemble. À Liège, des bourgeois progressistes souhaitent la nouveauté et donnent la possibilité à des architectes de réaliser du jamais vu. Rogister, Jaspar, Comblen, laissent ainsi libre cours à leur talent et à leur audace à travers des architectures nouvelles.
Organisation : office du Tourisme.
Guide : Henri Leboutte (guide régional).
Durée : 2 h 30.
Autres dates : 28/4
Tarifs : 5 à 7 €.

Forever Young! Poland art and it's art around 1900
Dates:26.09.2012-29.09.2013
What makes it still attractive, interesting and liked despite the passage of time? Simply - eternally young? This question is asked by an exhibition presenting the best of around-1900 Polish Art in the renovated interiors of the Szołayski Tenement House - a Branch of the National Museum in Kraków, in the capital city of art at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century.
The National Museum in Kraków invites you to the great exhibition entitled Forever Young! Poland and its art around 1900, where we will display around 300 works: paintings, prints, sculptures and crafts selected mostly from the Museum's own collection. The title of the exhibition alludes to the unwaning popularity of the art of that era, despite the fact, that, as it may seem, everything has already been said about it. It was not an accident that the Szołayski Tenement House was chosen for the venue of the exhibition. It was there that Feliks "Mangghi" Jasieński's (Young Poland's art collector) collections were housed and until recently the Museum of the most distinguished artist of that time - Stanisław Wyspiański was located there.
At the exhibition, in the first room, the Young Poland climate is evoked by the Green Balloon cabaret associated with personalities such as: Leon Schiller, Kazimierz Sichulski, Witold Wojtkiewicz, Adolf Nowaczyński and Tadeusz Boy-Żeleński. The irreverent and refreshing character of these nocturnal "happenings" is documented by drawings commenting on the Galician reality, prints from "Teka Melpomeny" with caricatures of Kraków actors in their most famous roles.
In the adjacent room, we will see self-portraits of authors whose works are presented in the further part of the exhibition, including: Olga Boznańska, Julian Fałat, Jacek Malczewski, Józef Mehoffer, Leon Wyczółkowski, Stanisław Wyspiański.
The slogan important for modernism - the city myth - will be illustrated with images of the Market Square, the Planty Park, Kraków churches or the Wawel Castle, all filled with melancholy, suggestively materializingg in the painting Planty o świcie (Planty Park at dawn) by Stanisław Wyspiański.
Another thread is devoted to the images of Young Poland's nature where the Galician artists sought refuge and inspiration when fatigued with their nocturnal Bohemian lifestyle. Apart from the famous impressionist paintings by Aleksander Gierymski, Władysław Podkowiński and Józef Pankiewicz, we will also present works by eminent Kraków artists – Stanisław Wyspiański, Leona Wyczółkowski, Jan Stanisławski. Expressive images showing the Tatra Mountains in pastel colours are certainly noteworthy. The theme of pristine nature will return again in the further part of the exhibition in the theme of rural folklore in the works by: Włodzimierz Tetmajer, Kazimierz Sichulski, Władysław Jarocki and Wacław Szymanowski.
The atmosphere of a Young Poland study will be recalled by presenting cosy children's portraits and official portraits of various personalities, as well as nudes, including Czerwona wstążka (Red Ribbon) by Weiss borrowed from the National Museum in Poznań.
Maeterlinck's quotation in the next room: „the smallest phenomenon, the smallest accident [...] are full of mysterious meaning” – reminds of the exploration of subconsciousness and the interest in the world of dreams, phantasies and religious mysticism which can be captured in the art of that time. Next to fauns from Jacek Malczewski's paintings, Wojciech Weiss's temptresses, works by Witold Wojtkiewicz, Franciszek Siedlecki, Wacław Szymanowski and others will also appear.
Outside the study and the legendary Kraków cafés, the Bohemian social life focused in Young Poland's drawing rooms. Their climate will be reproduced in another room presenting, among other things, portraits by Teodor Axentowicz, Ignacy Pieńkowski, Jacek Malczewski, still natures by Olga Boznańska and Józef Pankiewicz.
In the next rooms, on the other hand, we wish to remind of outstanding, not frequently displayed "fine and functional arts" - examples of works representing other disciplines which blossomed so impressively at the turn of the 19th century in spite of the difficult material and political conditions. They will include, among other things functional graphics, refined Young Poland prints, crafts inspired by folk art from the circels of the Polish Applied Art Society, the Technical and Industrial Museum in Kraków as well as Kraków Workshops and Young Poland posters which achieved full artistic independence and the European level at that time.

Gustav Klimt. The Complete Paintings
Dates:01.01.2050-01.01.2999
The prince of decadence
Looking at Klimt in a whole new light: a groundbreaking monograph
The countless events being held to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth make a clear statement to the enduring appreciation for the work of Gustav Klimt. Not that it takes such a special occasion for the press and the public to start talking about Klimt. More than two hundred articles about the artist appeared online in August 2011 alone, in comparison with barely seventy on Rembrandt within the same period. This media publicity set editor Tobias G. Natter thinking about the value of compiling the present book. During his lifetime, Klimt was a controversial star whose works made passions run high; he stood for Modernism but he also embodied tradition. His pictures polarized and divided the art-loving world. Journalists and general public alike were split over the question: For or against Klimt?
The present publication therefore places particular emphasis upon the voices of Klimt’s contemporaries via a series of essays examining reactions to his work throughout his career. Subjects range from Klimt’s portrayal of women to his adoption of landscape painting in the second half of his life. The cliché that Gustav Klimt was a man of few words who rarely put pen to paper is vehemently dispelled: no less than 179 letters, cards, writings and other documents are included in this monograph. This wealth of archival material, assembled here for the first time on such a scale, represents a major contribution to Klimt scholarship.
Defining features of this edition:
Catalog of Klimt's complete paintings
All known letter correspondence
Featuring new photographs of the Stoclet Frieze commissioned exclusively for this book
Contributing authors: Evelyn Benesch, Marian Bisanz-Prakken, Rainald Franz, Anette Freytag, Christoph Grunenberg, Hansjörg Krug, Susanna Partsch, Angelina Pötschner and Michaela Reichel The editor and author:
Tobias G. Natter studied art history and history at the universities of Innsbruck, Munich, and Vienna. He worked at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna for fifteen years. From 2001–2002 he was curator of the Neue Galerie in New York. From 2006 to 2011 he directed the Vorarlberg Museum in Bregenz and was responsible for the museum’s new premises and the reorganization of the collection. Since October 2011 he has been the director of the Leopold Museum in Vienna. His extensive publications and his conception and organization of exhibitions on the theme of “Vienna around 1900” have made him an internationally acknowledged expert on Viennese art at the turn of the century.
