Guercino (Giovanni Francesco Barbieri) (1591â1666), Christ in Emmaus ca. 1619.
FRANKFURT.- The Städel Museum presents the great masters of Italian Baroque draughtsmanship. For the brothers Agostino and Annibale Carracci, Guercino, Stefano della Bella and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, drawing was a central component of their artistic work. In their drawings, they not only laid the foundations for their paintings, sculptures or prints, but also demonstrated the independence of the medium. Executed with pen and brush or black or red chalk, the sheets are sketches, studies or precisely rendered individual works. They impress with their sweeping lines, their dramatic chiaroscuro and their extraordinary expressiveness. From 10 October 2024 to 12 January 2025, the Städel Museum will be showing 90 of these remarkable Italian Baroque drawings from its own collection in an exhibition parallel to the Frankfurt Book Fair with Italy as this yearâs Guest of Honour, inviting visitors to an intimate encounter with the artistic drawings of a bygone era.

The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents 'Jonah Freeman + Justin Lowe: Sunset Corridor'FORT WORTH, TX.- The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth presents Jonah Freeman + Justin Lowe: Sunset Corridor, a multi- room immersive installation by the artist duo Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe, on view from October 4, 2024, through January 5, 2025. Sunset Corridor, 2024, is the latest chapter in the artists deep dive into the San San Universe, their fictional, retrofuturistic domain. San San is partially based on a futurist theory put forth by Herman Kahn and Anthony Weiner in their book The Year 2000 (1967), which speculated that San Diego and San Francisco would merge into one giant metropolis by the turn of the twenty-first century. Although this prediction never came to pass, the theory is foundational to Freeman and Lowes creation: an adjacent world that parallels modern- day reality and illuminates our societys relationships ...

More Schlossmuseum Linz opens an exhibition of works by Hubert SchmalixLINZ.- Hubert Schmalix became internationally recognised in the 1980s as a representative of New Painting. After an extended stay in the Philippines, he found his style, which is characterised by expressive colours, strong contours and naive figuration. In the exhibition at the Schlossmuseum in Linz, he is presenting current works that are being shown for the first time. For Schmalix, the main source of his clearly defined and reduced formal language is the world of comics. Every figure, every landscape element and every object is designed in a two-dimensional way and given a strong contour. He often positions individual characters in a pictorial space that is defined only by a horizontal line and two background colours. The artist stylises them with oversized hands and feet, while emphasising their emotional states through expressive facial ...
