Summary

Die Gemäldegalerie der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin ist für ihre hervorragende Sammlung europäischer Meisterwerke des 13. bis 18. Jahrhunderts bekannt. Jedes der zwölf Kapitel dieses Buches ist einem Gemälde aus der Sammlung gewidmet. In der Zusammenschau zeigt sich eine Malerei, wie sie sich selbst entdeckt und dabei zum Medium wird, um moderne Subjektivität auszudrücken. Die hier besprochenen Gemälde entfalten sich in ihren künstlerischen Fragen, die auch die unseren sind. In welchen Paradoxien entstehen Kunstwerke, die von Frauen geschaffen werden? Wie beeinflusst der alte Drang, Kunstwerke zu zerstören, den heutigen Diskurs über Kunst? Wo setzte der moderne Kampf der Malerei gegen das Bild ein und wie wirkte er sich aus? Warum sucht uns der Wilde Mann aus der deutschen Renaissance noch heute heim? Und warum ist es unwichtig zu wissen, ob Jan Vermeer beim Malen ein optisches Gerät verwendete oder nicht? "Zwölf Bilder" ist eine Hymne an die Aktualität der Alten Meister.
Available since: 12/04/2020.
Print length: 112 pages.

    In Post-war America fear took on new forms.  The witch-hunt of superpower espionage swept the West.  If you weren’t a patriot you were suspect. 
We needed heroes.  We needed Mr X. 
Herbert Marshall played the role of agent Ken Thurston – the ‘Mr. X’ who travelled far and wide across the globe as he unravelled dangerous cases.  In this he was ably assisted, or perhaps annoyed, by a comedic side-kick; Pegon Zellschmidt. 
The Nation and ourselves were in safe hands even if he wasn’t.

    The Flying Dutchman is the perfect opera with which to approach the operatic mountain that is Richard Wagner. It is short, has a great story (the legend of the Dutch captain doomed to sail forever unless redeemed through love), and the striking score has many pre-echoes of Wagner’s later great music dramas. It contains wonderful tunes in its arias, ensembles, and big choruses, and the orchestral writing – from the gale that blows out of the Overture to the final theme of ‘Redemption through Love’ – will... well... ‘blow you away’. These ‘wonderful tunes’ are enriched by a lively explanation of their context. From the opera’s dramatic opening, which reflects Wagner’s own nautical experiences as he fled from creditors and the law, we see how it contains many of the hall-marks, many of the foot-prints, of his later, greater works. And we find out why The Flying Dutchman was such a blazing triumph for this most controversial and Romantic of composers.

    After staying in Milan for his apprenticeship, Michelangelo da Caravaggio arrived in Rome in 1592. There he started to paint with both realism and psychological analysis of the sitters. Caravaggio was as temperamental in his painting as in his wild life. As he also responded to prestigious Church commissions, his dramatic style and his realism were seen as unacceptable. Chiaroscuro had existed well before he came on the scene, but it was Caravaggio who made the technique definitive, darkening the shadows and transfixing the subject in a blinding shaft of light. His influence was immense, firstly through those who were more or less directly his disciples. Famous during his lifetime, Caravaggio had a great influence upon Baroque art. The Genoese and Neapolitan Schools derived lessons from him, and the great movement of Spanish painting in the seventeenth century was connected with these schools. In the following generations the best endowed painters oscillated between the lessons of Caravaggio and the Carracci.

    “Two previously produced full-length plays . . . welded into a seamless whole . . . is wonderful theater and satisfying, compelling reading.” —Booklist 
 
From award winning playwright John Guare, an extensive reworking of his two 1981 plays about a nineteenth-century commune in Nantucket. Lydie Breeze is a two-play, six-hour cycle about four seekers who come to the island to create a special model for a better world in the ashes of the Civil War and end up as a model for the corruption of twentieth-century idealism. The result is an almost surreal saga of American life, with allegorical meditations on the contradictions and interconnectedness of all things and the chaotic nature of the universe.
