010623 - 1 Copenhagen day three

아침을 먹고, 산책을 했다. 어제 밤에 약을 먹어서 침을 삼킬 때 마다, 칼 넘어가는 느낌이 덜하긴 했지만, 그래도 컨디션이 아주 좋지 않았다. 이 날엔 비바람이 너무 세차게 불어가지고 우산이랑 나랑 함께 날라가는 줄 알았던 날이다. 그 와중에 Warner Bros. Discovery Copenhagen 건물을 발견했다. According to Wikipedia, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc is an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at 230 Park Avenue South in NYC. 뭔가 익숙하게 느껴지는지 뭔지 몰라서 찾아봤다. 아침 6~7시부터 출근하는 부지런한 사람들이 많다. 특히 폭풍우가 치는데 자전거 타고 출근하시는 분들은 진짜 존경스럽다.

비가 너무 많이 와서 한시간 조금 넘게 산책을 하다가 나의 마음의 고향인 espresso house 에 와서 decaf latte 를 시켜서 마셨다. 진짜 고요하고 잔잔해서 너무너무 좋았다. 그리고 어제 산 the beauty of everyday things 책을 읽었는데 참 좋았다. 특히 다음 구절들.
What qualities set off real bamboo grass from bamboo patterns? Real bamboo is a product of the natural world; bamboo patterns incorporate the human perspective. (...) The human eye endows it with meaning. Without this human input, the bamboo remains physically the same, regardless of whether it is seen or not. Anyone can visually apprehend bamboo grass, but the way it is viewed depends on the person. Not everyone perceives the beauty of bamboo in the same way. There are some people who remain unmoved by its beauty, and even if they are moved, it is in a very shallow way. Bamboo becomes beautiful only when it is seen as beautiful.
The founder of the Glyptotek, the brewer Carl Jacobsen, filled the galleries of the museum with world-class French sculpture. But it was his son Helge Jacobsen who was a passionate collector of French painting, including works by Dogas, Monet, Morisot, Cezanne, Gauguin and Van Gogh. This gallery presents some of the Glyptotek's masterpieces from 1870-1925.

The Birth of a Movement
In 1874 a group of Parisian artists decided to exhibit their works together in protest at their rejection by the Salon, the city's official exhibition venue. The group, which included Degas, Guillaume, Monet, Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir and Sisley, became known as the Impressionists. Their works represented an entirely new kind of painting in which light and colour were the principal elements. They often worked outdoors, since this provided the best conditions for observing changing light, colours and movement, whether in the open landscape or amongst the teeming life of the city. The style was characterized by vibrating brushstrokes, thick layers of unmixed pigments and unconventional angles and views.

New Directions
The 1880s and 1890s were witness to a flood of artistic expression, both in dialogue with and opposition to Impressionism. The leading figures of the movement, Cezanne, Gauguin and van Gogh, all embarked on new paths of their own. Van Gogh's painting became expressive in the extreme, Gauguin moved towards cloisonnist works in bold colours, whereas Cezanne chose the more intellectual approach. Bonnard developed a decorative style of painting with a high degree of intimacy, whereas Toulouse-Lautrec made his mark with depictions of Parisian life in the 1890s. European painting took many new directions, and was embraced by a rapidly changing art market. The Salon no longer had a monopoly on good taste. 

제일 먼저 Glyptotek 에 간 곳은 4층 Fransk kunst/ French Art 1870-1925 였다. 왜냐하면 여기 Monet 작품이 있기 때문이다. Louisiana 에서 정말 깊게 배운 것은 집중력이 가장 좋을 때 내가 좋아하는 작품들을 황홀하게 즐겨야 겠다 였다. 그래서 나는 10시 땡 들어오자 마자 내가 제일 좋아하는 모네 작품이 있는 4층으로 갔다. 정말 좋았다. 몇몇 작품들을 나를 황홀하게 만들었고, 그 자리에서 떠나가기 힘들게 하였다.

나는 이게 제일 좋았고, 그저 황홀했다. 선명하지만 따스한 색감이 나를 평화롭게 만들었다. 이거 보고 나서 여기 오길 잘했다는 생각이 들었다. 역시, 명불허전 모네...

내가 갔을 때 Paul Gauguin Special exhibition 이 있었다.
The French artist Paul Gauguin is one of the most famous figures in Western art history. He is often associated with cloisonnist works in bold colours with motifs ranging from France to Tahiti. But the story of young Gauguin, who started out as a Sunday painter with one foot in the Impressionist camp, is a less familiar chapter of the artist's life for many. Yet it was from the mid-1870s to 1885 that started to mature as an artist - also in Cpoenhagen where he lived from 1884-85. To celebrate the museum's recent acquisition of Gauguin's Snow in Copenhagen (1884) this focus exhibition presents a number of key early works by the artist connected to Denmark by motif, exhibition history or provenance.

After failing to make his name as an artist in France, Gauguin joined his Danish wife Mette Gauguin and their five children in Copenhagen. Here too he was unable to support himself as an artist, and had to earn a living teaching French and as a tarpaulin and horse cloth salesman.
His experience of Denmark went from one of optimism and a strong urge to paint to bitterness and loneliness. "I hate Denmark profoundly," as he famously wrote. The time he spent in Copenhagen was, however, to prove crucial, and when he left the city and his family just six months later it was with a new sense of authority as a painter. This did not, however, mark the end of his relationship with Denmark. Gauguin's wife Mette was an enterprising woman, more than capable of balancing family life and business. Her good connections and business acumen ensured that many of her husband's works were exhibited and sold in Denmark. Several of these are now in the Glyptotek's collection, one of the best Gauguin collections in the world largely thanks to the museum's former director Helge Jacobsen, son of the museum's former founder Carl Jacobsen and a passionate collector of Gauguin's works.

Despite making artistic progress, Gauguin's dissatisfaction with Denmark increased: "Incidentally, in two months' time I will either have left this world behind or returned to Paris to live as a labourer or vagabond, anything whatsoever rather than suffer this vile country. The Danes!"

나한테 이 사진 보내달라고 했는데 정신이 없어서 앚기 못 보냈네. 곧 보내야 겠다. :) Gauguin 작품 앞에서!
대리석을 이렇게 정교하게 했다는 것 자체가 너무나 대단하게 느껴졌다. 뭔가 축하하는 거 같기도 하고, 위로하는 거 같기도 하고. 인간의 능력에 대해서 다시금 생각하게 되었던 조각상들이었다.

Landscapes and Nature Studies

At the end of the 18th century nature came to the fore as a focus of art and culture. This coincided with the emergence of modern science and new academic disciplines aimed at mapping the world, such as geography, geology, biology, meteorology and astronomy. Landscape paintings united observations of nature with the aesthetic ideals of Romanticism and an approach to life based on the emotions.

Drawing inspiration from countries such as Italy, Norway and Switzerland, from the late 18th century Danish artists were able to appreciate dramatic landscapes like the cliffs of the island of Mon or the coast of Western Funen anew, seeing their grandeur and sublime qualities as akin to those of the spectacular mountains, ravines and rivers painted by their colleagues abroad. The landscape was central to Danish painting during the first half of the century - a period known as the Golden Age in Danish art and culture. The landscape paintings of the Golden Age also fostered an awareness of the unique features of the Danish landscape.

Live Models

The model studies on display here reflect the art academy traditions of the mid-19th century. At the art academy in Copenhagen students began with freehand classes, copying drawings and etchings. After this they made drawings based on plaster casts, before progressing to the advanced level of life drawing.

Artists had to master the portrayal of the human body in order to paint historical, biblical and mythological scenes. Until the early decades of the 19th century, the only naked models allowed at the academy were men, but in 1822 Professor Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg initiated a refrom permitting the sue of female models. The studies from a class with a live model in Jun 1843 exhibited here reflect a new approach to model studies.

Portraits and Family Paintings 
In the first half of the 1800s the powerful position of the aristocracy was challenged by the rise of an upper-middle class in Denmark. This crated a new market for art, and many Danish artist seized the opportunity to cater to the tastes of this new affluent class with individual portraits and family paintings.

Taking the traditional portraits of the aristocracy as their ideal, many members of the bourgeoisie wanted to own paintings of family life and domestic interiors by Denmark's leading artists. Depictions of these popular motifs found their way in the homes and collections of private buyers. This gallery shows a range of portraits from different periods. The interests of the bourgeoisies in portraits and family paintings continued until the late 19th century. The founder of the Glyptotek, Carl Jacobsen, also commissioned portraits of this family, such as Laurits Tuxen's portrait of Ottilia Jacobsen in the next gallery.

This painting is a striking interpretation of the group portrait. Ten young men are gathered for an evening of pipe smoking, card games and music. The scene is set in the young law student and future councillor of state and mathematics professor Christian Jurgensens's study. Jurgensen can be seen sitting on the left with a cello. The painting might look life a snapshot of a bourgeois interior, but the details have obviously been carefully staged by the artist, who is also present to the left of the window, leaning over the table and casting the largest shadow. The painting is a perfectly executed rendition of the interplay of light and shadow, which forms a motif in its own right.
Light and Colour at the Turn of the Century
The naturalism and impressionism of French art at the end of 19th century captured the imagination of Danish artists, influencing their choice of motif, their way of seeing the world, and the techniques they used.

By experimenting with colours, light and reflections, artist created atmospheric, evocative depictions of visible reality with a focus on nature, people and interiors. Their paintings are characterized by the use of obvious brushstrokes and expanses of colour to create shapes and shimmering light effects as they are perceived by the human eye. This was a contrast to traditional academy art, with its ideal of smooth surfaces and harmonious colours. The Skagen painters and the generation of Danish artist working from the 1880s to the beginning of the 20th century were at the forefront of the naturalistic art of the period.

The Wood and the Apple Trees at Belle-Marie

Trees played a predominant role in Rousseau's works, primarily those in the Fontainebleau Forest close to the village of Barbizon outside Paris, which was a base for the Barbizon school of painters. Here Rousseau, together with artists such as Diaz, Millet, and Corot, sought the primeval and authentic in refuge from the city life of Paris. The work is the only one of this style to be shown at the Salon. The painter appears to push realism to its extreme: "There is no adjective capable of describing this tree," as one critic said: "Such oaks are only found in fairy tales."

The inscription on the bust "Why Born Enslaved!" can be read as a statement against slavery. Yet even though the inscription directly addresses contemporary slavery, the the work appears to be as much about a European fascination with non-European women. Carpeaux sexualises the model by depicting her with the rope that binds her and her breast bared. The work was widely reproduced and distributed in a range of materials. This demonstrates Carpeaux's ability to navigate the commercial market, at the same time as embracing new political ideals in the wake of the abolition of slavery. The bust is connected to the fountain Les quatre parties du monde soutenant la sphere celeste in Paris. As a fountain figure, the woman symbolises Africa, which is thereby reduced to a continent of enslaved people.
