Sam Szafran au musée de l'Orangerie

Sam Szafran au musée de l'Orangerie

Visit of the exhibition at the Musée de l'Orangerie: Sam Szafran, obsessions of a painter.
This is not a retrospective but rather a tribute.
The Musée de l'Orangerie and the artist had a special relationship: Szafran exhibited there regularly and was particularly involved in the museum's programming, giving regular lectures on art. The museum dedicated a retrospective to him in 2007.
So, I am not going to give you a detailed report of the exhibition because it does not lend itself to it: this is linked to the nature of this complex artist: it is necessary to see his works in order to experience them and to enter the universe of Sam Szafran.

Face à face Mickalene Thomas et Claude Monet

Face to face Mickalene Thomas and Claude Monet

Remember, I took you to the Louis Vuitton Foundation, which staged the face to face between Joan Mitchell and Claude Monet's Water Lilies. I shared with you my point of view on this subject, but that's not the point of the day, so I invite you to watch my video on this subject.

So here we are again in a face to face, but which, I must say, is not quite the same here.

To use the term of the Musée de l'Orangerie, it is a contemporary counterpoint between the two artists Mickalene Thomas and Claude Monet.

 Un bestiaire aux enchères !

A bestiary at auction!


Among the almost two hundred lots covering various categories (wine, luxury goods, drawings, paintings), collectors will be able to go home with a bestiary by Barye, Mêne, or Martel... Ladies and gentlemen, the bestiary of Expertisez.com is up for auction!
If the fascination of artists for animals does not date from yesterday, animal sculpture has known its golden age in the 19th century, in the lyrical line of the romantics. Today, it is the rarer 20th century animal sculpture that fetches the best prices.
Indeed, animals are a universal, timeless subject... They first inspired the Romantics, in painting and then in sculpture, fascinated by animals, symbols of a nature that is sometimes harsh, sometimes sensitive. In the 19th century, the representation of animals is fighting, excessive and the style is realistic. Antoine-Louis Barye is undoubtedly the leader in this field. A pioneer, he was noticed at the Paris Salon of 1831 where his bronze "A tiger having surprised a young crocodile devours it" made an impression. He will lead in his wake the leading figures of animal sculpture of his time, namely Rosa Bonheur (1822-1899), Auguste Cain (1821-1894), Christophe Fratin (1801-1864), Emmanuel Frémiet (1824-1910), Pierre-Jules Mêne (1810-1879) and Jules Moigniez (1835-1894)... Horses, hunting dogs, elephants, giraffes, birds, lions, roosters... are the darlings of the latter.

Yves Klein, Anthropométrie suaire, 1961

"Anthropometry" is the term coined by Pierre Restany (anthropo, from the Greek anthropos: man, and metrie: measurement) to name what Klein called "the technique of living brushes". And it is indeed a measure of the living that the artist wants to communicate and develops in 1960. The work presented here is therefore one of the artist's first achievements in this field.

Charles Camoin au musée de Montmartre

Charles Camoin exhibition in Le musée de Montmartre

Often described as a Mediterranean Fauvist, Charles Camoin (1879-1965), through his ties to Paris and the bohemian Montmartre, was part of the international avant-garde. Affiliated with Fauvism, linked to Matisse, Marquet and Manguin, he never gave up his artistic independence.
The exhibition allows us to rediscover the work of the painter by integrating a hundred paintings and drawings, some of which have never been shown before. It explores various historical and thematic episodes in the artist's life and analyzes the evolution of his pictorial language, based on colored sensation.

Les beaux jours arrivent, un splash dans la piscine de David Hockney !

David Hockney

World famous for his Pool Paintings and especially his Bigger Splash (1967), David Hockney (1937 - ) has been producing since the 1950s a sunny and hedonistic work at the crossroads of pop art and hyperrealism. The English artist draws his inspiration from Vermeer, Fra Angelico, Matisse and Picasso. Interested in all processes of image making, he does not hesitate to use technology (fax, photocopier or iPad...) and to play with perspective to renew his painting. He has also published several theoretical works, notably on the techniques of the old masters. He is one of the greatest living figurative artists.

Enchères : art et vintage au rendez-vous

Art & Vintage

Through this catalog, let's discover masterpieces of painting and sculpture as well as some unusual objects, including a toy. It will also be an opportunity to delve into vintage, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years.
This Friday, March 18, Expertisez.com will organize a very prolific auction. Indeed, it will take place in two parts: the first part will be dedicated to paintings, sculptures and fine arts, the second part to vintage objects.
An unusual item in this sale, Resting place Companion (Black), from 2012-2013, is a toy edited to 500 pieces and sold here with its original box (as is). This toy was made by KAWS (1974), an artist who falls between the worlds of art and design. The influence of pop artists such as Andy Warhol can be seen in his many works, from paintings to sculptures to toys. KAWS masters to perfection the codes of advertising, distribution and popular culture, allowing him to create his own vocabulary that is often expressed in cartoonish humanoid characters, as is the case with this toy.
