MUNICH.- Surrealism was a political movement of international reach and internationalist conviction. While it had its origins in art and literature, it far exceeded both. Surrealists declared reality to be insufficient. Their ambition was to radically alter society and reimagine life. As early as the dawn of the movement in the 1920s, surrealists denounced the European ... More

Mennour opens Dhewadi Hadjab's second solo exhibition at the gallery
PARIS.- Mennour is presenting Dhewadi Hadjab’s second solo exhibition at the gallery: “Acte II : fragmenter” from October 14 to November 30, 2024. It’s a new page of research, written in fragments, in decomposed movements, in plays on hanging which suggest tension and relaxation, the spectacle of an energy released. In his new series of paintings, those in small formats in particular, Dhewadi Hadjab is no longer only interested in the moment before the fall. He shows unreal images of positions impossible to maintain: several times in one single time and several bodies in one single body, beings about whom we don’t realise for a while that their identity eludes us. By choosing photography as a tool serving painting, in the same capacity as the paintbrush or the paint, the artist organises shooting sessions with models of his inner ... More


BLUM opens London-based artist Christopher Hartmann's first solo exhibition in Paris
PARIS.- BLUM and Nassima Landau Art Foundation are presenting On Your Own, London-based artist Christopher Hartmann’s first solo exhibition in Paris. Christopher Hartmann’s recent paintings examine the notion of reflection as a duplicate, a shadow, or, at times, only a hint of someone or something. Hartmann’s series of unmade, vacated beds allude to the bodies that once laid in them; his seascapes include distorted portraits of a man bathing, his face hidden from the viewer. This interest in what is not the thing itself but its remnants, in what is left behind and is doomed to fade and disappear, unleashes a set of emotions and themes that have long been present in Hartmann’s work—longing, closeness, despair, and desire as well as conflicting moods of intimacy and isolation. During recent travels in Florence, Italy, Hartmann was inspired ... More


Rare sword carried at Siege of Yorktown donated to Museum of the American Revolution
PHILADELPHIA, PA.- The sword of a soldier who served in the Continental Army’s Corps of Light Infantry, given to him by the Marquis de Lafayette and carried at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781 alongside Alexander Hamilton, has been donated to the Museum of the American Revolution. It will be on public display in the Museum’s core exhibit starting Nov. 5, 2024. Jeremiah Keeler, who was born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, in 1760 and initially served in the Connecticut militia as a teenager, is said to have used the sword as a crutch on his long walk home at the end of the Revolutionary War. At the Siege of Yorktown, Keeler and his comrades in the Corps of Light Infantry famously assaulted a British redoubt which led the Continental Army and its French allies to victory. Alexander Hamilton commanded that brave attack. Now, this witness object – ... More


GALLERIA CONTINUA opens a new solo exhibition by Jorge Macchi
SAN GIMIGNANO.- GALLERIA CONTINUA is hosting a new solo exhibition by Jorge Macchi titled “False Autumn”. The work of the Argentine artist is positioned precisely at the turning point between two opposites, in that grey area between the real form and the fictitious form of reality. In a world where art serves as a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, Macchi’s work testifies to the power of visual expression, chance, and the enduring influence of personal experiences. His art captures the ephemeral and the transient, inviting us to reflect on the fragile boundaries that define our existence. The sculptures of various sizes, watercolors, oil paintings, and installations in this exhibition recreate the conditions for a new paradoxical reality that, through the assertion of artifice, upends our certainties and infiltrates the folds of consciousness. “Paradox ...

Bark Salon now open in Wurrdha Marra
MELBOURNE.- Featuring more than 160 bark paintings hung en masse from floor to ceiling, Bark Salon is a large-scale display of First Nations bark painting that references – and subverts – the traditional European salons of the 18th and 19th centuries. On display within the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia’s dedicated First Nations galleries, Wurrdha Marra, Bark Salon offers a uniquely Australian counterpoint to this European tradition and highlights the extraordinary creativity and diversity of bark painting from the NGV Collection. A thought-provoking First Peoples response to NGV International’s popular Salon Gallery, Bark Salon is designed to emulate the style and atmosphere of the salons popular across Europe, including at the Royal Academies in London and Paris. During the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the salon served as a critical ... More


Cortesi Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Maurizio Donzelli
MILAN.- Cortesi Gallery is presenting the exhibition by Maurizio Donzelli at its Milanese headquarters in Palazzo Morigi. The exhibition, curated by Alberto Fiz, features a site-specific installation, a sculpture and a series of works conceived in the last two years, including some created especially for this occasion from the Nets series, which gives its name to the entire exhibition. They are highly striking works, some over two metres tall, which allow us to discover the latest pictorial cycle of the Brescian artist, destined to serve as another element of experimentation with respect to an investigation that constantly examines the viewer’s gaze. Donzelli builds his nets on various supports (paper, wood, fabric, canvas) developing a lenticular vision where the fragments of a world in progress are deposited on the surface. It is through their unpredictable ... More

Flashback
On a day like today, French artist James Tissot was born
October 15, 1836. James Jacques Joseph Tissot (15 October 1836 - 8 August 1902) was a French painter, who spent much of his career in Britain. Tissot exhibited in the Paris Salon for the first time in 1859, where he showed five paintings of scenes from the Middle Ages, many depicting scenes from Goethe's Faust. These works show the influence of the Belgian painter Henri Leys (Jan August Hendrik Leys), whom Tissot had met in Antwerp in 1859, over his work. In this image: Le Balcon du Cercle de la rue Royale (The Circle of the Rue Royale), 1868.
