A small, blind-tooled volume sits on a table covered in green baize: one clasp is open, the other is closed; and a slip of paper emerges from it reading 'Veritas odium parit' ('truth breeds hatred'). This detail occurs in the foreground of a portrait by Hans Holbein of a young man identified as the Cologne patrician Hermann von Wedigh III (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). A study of the physical features of the book and of the history of the brief text - actually an ancient and then Erasmian adage - leads to a new interpretation of the painting in the context of humanist friendship. The book is seen to be a multivalent simile for the work of art authored by the artist as well as for the sitter himself, raising questions about the implications for these of a medium that can be opened and closed. The half-open condition of the book is understood to reflect the complementary pressures of openness and closedness, accessibility and intimacy, that characterized the Renaissance republic of letters.
The essay engages with a screenplay by Michel Foucault, written in 1970 for a film, not realized during Foucault's lifetime, about Pablo Picasso's "Las Meninas", a series of 58 paintings that the artist made in 1957, taking up, updating, reinterpreting the famous painting with the same title by Diego Velázquez (1656). This screenplay is at the same time an example of critical reflection on reenactment in art history and itself a reenactment practice of sorts: the filmic repetition of an artistic repetition. It invites a reflection on the role of repetition as a critical operation: how doubles, reenacted images, and 'countermimesis' can become creative gestures and opening movements of transformation through plays of refraction, duplication, and multiplication of the realities and subjectivities at stake in them.
Grauer Beton, silberne Gleise, weiße Kacheln: S- und U-Bahn-Stationen verwehren sich gerne jeglichem kreativen Anspruch. Die Street-Art-Künstlerin Thekra Jaziri aus Offenbach hat die Wände der Station Galluswarte in Frankfurt am Main mit knalligen Farben und einer naiven Formensprache zu neuem Leben erweckt. Ein Portrait einer Malerin, die beweist, dass Stadtgestaltung Freude machen kann.
Nikolaus List spinnt in seiner neuen Glosse wieder allerlei Themen kunstvoll zusammen: Joe Graf Fÿtty und Ronald MacDonald erklären Andy Warhols inklusive Kunst und Jan Vermeers Zwischenräume. Nebenbei erfahren wir, was der Big Mac mit Kunst zu tun hat – und auch die New Yorker Polizei darf nicht fehlen.
Von einer „WEGE“- zur „Geisterausstellung“. Stefan Stichlers Ausstellung blieb, wie allen anderen Kulturinstitutionen während des Lockdowns, der Publikumsverkehr untersagt. Im Zeitraum zwischen dem 15. Januar bis 31. Januar 2021 stellte der Künstler mit dem Titel „WEGE“ im Kunstverein der Familie Montez in Frankfurt seine Arbeiten aus. Ein Portrait.
In the Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu the surviving pieces of the late Gothic altar retable from Großprobstdorf (Târnava) are preserved and partly exhibited. The two outer wing pieces of this retable show some remarkable features. The one depicting a scene of the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian is part of one of the most prominent traditions of medieval and post-medieval hagiography; this saint and depictions of him also play an important role in sacral art that forms a reaction on the Plague. The second retable depicts the nowadays less known motif of the martyrdom of Saint Achatius. It will be shown, that both retables can be connected to a contemporary outbreak of the Plague in Transilvania, and that it seems very probable that this ensemble forms a direct reaction and response to this outbreak of the Plague. Evidence is brought here in the form of contemporary pamphlets which make use of exactly the same ensemble of Sebastian and Achatius. In the second part of this contribution, the case of the “crypto-portraits” of Vlad the Impaler and the depiction belonging to this group on the Sebastian-retable of Großprobstdorf will be discussed and brought into context. An answer to the question whether we see a depiction of Vlad on this and the other crypto-portraits will be attempted.
