"After our beloved, dreamy Utenwarf - it is within easy sight, mysteriously surrounded by lilac bushes, we often looked over, always with the feeling of solidarity, because it meant so much to us."

essay
Emil Nolde remained loyal to the landscape of his home country throughout his life as a painter. This is where he gets most of his suggestions and turns a rather unspectacular flat landscape into an event. Nolde, who assigns a dominant role to the sky over the flat land in his watercolors, recognizes that the landscape alone can hardly claim any special artistic value in its depicted design. Based on the observations of nature in the 19th century, which was mainly devoted to the intermediate areas of daytime brightness, Nolde came to his bold solutions, which were only partially given by nature. In the exaggeration of what has been internalized, he finds a pathetic color realism that characterizes his landscape watercolors. So ominously black clouds cover the flat landscape and ominously move towards the distant village. Nolde allows the dramatically staged sky to be the largest stage in his composition. He gives the bitter Frisian landscape a new face and expands the way of seeing in his most unusual way. This gives his color-intensive watercolors a large number of admirers. In their singularity, they have an impact even in the art of contemporary modernism. [SM] This gives his color-intensive watercolors a large number of admirers. In their singularity, they have an impact even in the art of contemporary modernism. [SM] This gives his color-intensive watercolors a large number of admirers. In their singularity, they have an impact even in the art of contemporary modernism. [SM]

Pablo Picasso - Nature morte

-
Image
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Nature morte signed and dated 'Picasso 25. Av. 37.' (centre right) oil on canvas 15 x 24 1/8 in. (38 x 61.1 cm.) Painted on 25 April 1937  There is an intensely poetic atmosphere to Nature morte, painted in 1937. Stars are glowing in the night sky, while the foreground is dominated by the accoutrements and accessories of a leisured and contemplative evening. Pipe and book lie alongside a drink and a candelabra, hinting at the passing of an evening of solitary pleasures, both of the mind and of the body. The lyricism of the scene is heightened by the swirling curlicues of the balcony in the background, as though this evening were being spent in the countryside, rather than in Paris. As though it was the Eighteenth Century and a time of peace, rather than a metropolis, with the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. While there is undoubtedly an air of whimsy to Nature morte, the picture - both in terms of composition and content - also reveals...

'gulp' by aardman all images courtesy aardman 'gulp', a short film created by  sumo science  at  aardman , has broken a world record for the 'largest stop-motion animation'. completely shot using a 12-megapixel cellphone camera on a nokia N8, the project was set on 11,000 m2 of sand on south wales' pendine beach. props include a full-scale boat and a rain-jacket clad actor to tell a harrowing episode of a fisherman's time at sea. the short involved a large team that raked and smoothed out patterns on the sand to create a seascape--and the inside of a whale's belly--when viewed from above. shot from a large crane overhead, the images were then compiled to run at 25 frames per second to create the stop-motion effect. make sure to check out the making-up film embedded at the bottom of the page.

Paul Cézanne - Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville)

Image
  Paul Cézanne (1839-1906) Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) oil on canvas 25 5/8 x 31 7/8 in. (65.1 x 81.1 cm.) Painted in 1882  Painted in 1882, Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) is the largest of a series of four works that Paul Cézanne created during a summer sojourn at the home of his friend, the legendary impressionist collector Victor Chocquet, in Hattenville, Normandy. Chocquet, one of the first ardent champions and earliest collectors of Impressionism, was also the first owner of this painting and it remained in his collection until his death. Painted at a time when Cézanne was reaching artistic maturity, Ferme en Normandie, été (Hattenville) exemplifies a crucial moment in the artist’s career, illustrating his move from Impressionism towards his own distinctive and highly influential ‘constructed’ style. With an array of fresh and verdant green tones, the scene is an evocative, poetic vision of a quiet corner of a rural garden bathed in the blissful g...
