Connecting Art with Art: Barcelona International Art Fair 2014 at Gaudi’s Casa Batlló.

Paintings, Sculptures, Photography Art and Illustrations by leading (inter)national artists, for everyone’s budget to purchase. Commission free – That is the success formula of the travelling International Art Fair.

Going on the success of the Global Art Agency’s previous art events, the next edition of the Barcelona International Art Fair now proudly re-named “BCN ART 2014″ will take place on 12-13 December 2014 at Gaudí’s architectural treasure Casa Batlló, is the most emblematic work of the brilliant Catalan architect. The Barcelona International Art Fair opens Friday, December 13th with an exclusive VIP programme. Saturday is the exhibition free to visit.

“The art fair will be even bigger and better than last year’s” said Directors Natal Vallve and Joelle Dinnage. They continued: “with a great selection of fine artworks showing a wide variety from 120 international exhibitors, it’s a spectacular event for both exhibitor

Page 13: CondignArt Issue 08

and visitor. Organising this event at the amazing Casa Batlló is sublime, connecting the Art on show with the Artwork created by Gaudi – A statement of delight!”

New at the Art Fair will be a lounge zone, a live painting performance area, and a manifestation of Digital Art Showcase which will display must-see artworks in high-definition from international artists that don’t have the opportunity to travel to Barcelona – think of countries that are affected by restrictions leaving the country, affected by political conflicts, and other circumstances – giving every artist around the globe the opportunity to be part of such a sensation, which is a great initiative by the organisation.

Global Art Agency organizes special art fairs since 2010. The starting point of these grants is that direct contact between the artist and the potential buyer. That in many cases the works are commission-free to be purchased is fairly unique in the art world. The chance that you literally walk out the door with art under your arm, is certainly present!

Page 15: CondignArt Issue 08

p. 015

The Barcelona edition shows work by artists from 32 different countries. Represented includes the Award-Winning “Draumlist” ‘A playground for artists’ displaying urban photography art by a selection of Dutch artists. Also on show will be Milly Martionou, her work, compactly overt and unbreakable, involves a series of “layers” on both literal and figurative levels, flirting with the abstract expressionism. Using techniques known as “dripping” or, in the widest sense

Page 16: CondignArt Issue 08

of the term, “action painting” often combined with “collage” and under the obvious influence of the American painters Jackson Pollock and Joan Mitchell, the artist communicates her own psyche with a completely personal writing which, unlike that of Pollock, sends an intense message of optimism.

Furthermore the ‘Moproo Gallery Shangai’, will be exhibiting a range of very fascinating artworks of Marc Schwartz. Also a highlight and a must-see are various works by the well-known British street artist ‘Banksy‘ presented by the new InVogue Art Gallery (UK).

But also local artists such as, Edgar Márquez, Joan Peris, Maria Fatjo Pares, Tess Perez Soler, J Gamboa, Luisa Mascaró, Jordi Soler, To Gallardo, Sagi Tarbal, Dana Kathy, Juana Del Pozo, and many more.

Ceremony:The award ceremony of the Global Art Agency Awards will take place Saturday at 17.00 and marks the end of the fair. Famous Guest Judge – to be confirmed – will evaluate and select a winner. The most favorite artist is rewarded with a trophy and free participation in the Global Art Agency events.

Van Gogh was murdered, claims forensic expert: 'He did not shoot himself'

The true nature of Vincent van Gogh’s death continues to be a topic ripe for mystery – after a leading forensics expert has claimed that the artist was murdered.The Sunflowers painter died an agonising 29 hours after ta-king a bullet to the abdomen in a wheat field near Paris in 1890. On his death bed he apparently revealed he had shot himself.However, Dr. Vincent Di Maio, an expert on gunshot injuries, has said that he be believes the wound was “not self-inflic-ted”.

According to Vanity Fair, Di Maio, who was a key witness at the George Zimmerman trial, said that it was highly likely that Van Gogh “did not shoot himself”.He made the claim in response to a request by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith, whose biography of Van Gogh dis-putes the long-held suicide theory. In Van Gogh: The Life, a 960-page book published in 2011, the Pulitzer Prize-winning authors claim that the artist had been shot, possibly accidentally, by a couple of boys and that he had decided to protect them by accepting the blame.American academic John Rewald had talked of hearing local rumours about such a theory in the 1930s.

But Naifeh and Smith were attacked for publishing their theory and in 2013 Louis van Tilborgh and Teio Meedendorp published a critical review in the Burlington Magazine, which reiterated the suicide narrative.Following this, Naifeh and Smith asked Di Maio to compare the two accounts and put forth his opinion.Van Tilborgh and Meedendorp wrote that the son of the at-tendant physician at Van Gogh’s death bed, Paul Junior, said Van Gogh’s wound had a “brown and purple halo around [it].”According to the authors, this meant “the gun must have been fired at very close range … and was caused by the bu-llet’s impact.”

But Di Maio said: “In fact, [the purple halo] is subcutaneous bleeding from vessels cut by the bullet and is usually seen in individuals who live awhile.“Its presence or absence means nothing.”Meanwhile, he said the brown ring is “an abrasion ring and seen around virtually all entrance wounds”.Di Maio also said that if Van Gogh did shoot himself there would have been “soot, powder tattooing and searing of the skin around the entrance”.

He said: “These would have been grossly evident. None of this is described [in any of the forensic accounts]. This indi-cates the muzzle was more than a foot or two away (closer to two rather than one).”

In conclusion he said: “It is my opinion that, in all medical probability, the wound incurred by Van Gogh was not self-in-flicted. In other words, he did not shoot himself.”

However, it may take more than Di Maio to sway academic opinion.

A curator at the Van Gogh Museum told Naifeh and Smith in an email. “I think it would be like Vincent to protect the boys and take the ‘accident’ as an unexpected way out of his bur-dened life.

“But I think the biggest problem you’ll find after publishing your theory is that the suicide is more or less printed in the brains of past and present generations and has become a sort of self-evident truth. Vincent’s suicide has become the grand finale of the story of the martyr for art, it’s his crown of thorns.”

A TRIBUTE TO

HENRI MATISSE

Matisse was recognised as a leader of the Fauves, along with André Derain; the two

were friendly rivals, each with his own followers.

Henri-Émile-Benoît Matisse (31 December 1869 – 3 November 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of colour and his fluid and original draughtsmanship. He was a draughtsman, printmaker, and sculptor, but is known primarily as a painter. Matis-se is commonly regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the three artists who helped to define the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the twentieth century, responsible for significant develop-ments in painting and sculpture. Although he was initially labelled a Fauve (wild beast), by the 1920s he was increasingly hailed as an upholder of the classical tradition in French painting.His mastery of the expressive lan-guage of colour and drawing, displayed in a body of work spanning over a half-century, won him recognition as a leading figure in modern art.

Matisse was born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, in the Nord department in northern France, the oldest son of a prosperous grain mer-chant. He grew up in Bohain-en-Verman-dois, Picardie, France. In 1887 he went to Paris to study law, working as a court ad-ministrator in Le Cateau-Cambrésis after gaining his qualification. He first started to paint in 1889, after his mother brought him art supplies during a period of convales-cence following an attack of appendicitis. He discovered “a kind of paradise” as he later described it, and decided to become an artist, deeply disappointing his father. In 1891 he returned to Paris to study art at the Académie Julian and became a student of William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Moreau. Initially he painted still lifes and landscapes in a traditional style, at which he achieved reasonable proficiency. Matisse was influenced by the works of earlier mas-ters such as Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Nicolas Poussin, and Antoine Watteau, as well as by modern artists, such as Édouard Manet, and by Japanese art. Chardin was one of the painters Matisse most admired; as an art student he made copies of four of Chardin’s paintings in the Louvre.

Many of Matisse’s paintings from 1898 to 1901 make use of a Divisionist technique he adopted after reading Paul Signac’s essay, “D’Eugène Delacroix au Néo-impressionis-me”. His paintings of 1902–03, a period of material hardship for the artist, are compa-ratively somber and reveal a preoccupation with form. Having made his first attempt at sculpture, a copy after Antoine-Louis Bar-ye, in 1899, he devoted much of his energy to working in clay, completing The Slave in 1903.

Matisse and a group of artists now known as “Fauves” exhibited together in a room at the Salon d’Automne in 1905. The paintings ex-pressed emotion with wild, often dissonant colours, without regard for the subject’s

Page 21: CondignArt Issue 08

p. 021

natural colours. Matisse showed Open Win-dow and Woman with the Hat at the Salon. Critic Louis Vauxcelles described the work with the phrase “Donatello parmi les fau-ves!” (Donatello among the wild beasts), re-ferring to a Renaissance-type sculpture that shared the room with them. His comment was printed on 17 October 1905 in Gil Blas, a daily newspaper, and passed into popular usage. The exhibition garnered harsh criti-cism—”A pot of paint has been flung in the face of the public”, said the critic Camille Mauclair—but also some favourable atten-tion. When the painting that was singled out for special condemnation, Matisse’s Woman with a Hat, was bought by Gertrude and Leo Stein, the embattled artist’s morale impro-ved considerably.

Les toits de Collioure, 1905, oil on canvas, The Hermitage, St. Petersburg, RussiaMatisse was recognised as a leader of the Fauves, along with André Derain; the two were friendly rivals, each with his own fo-llowers. Other members were Georges Bra-que, Raoul Dufy, and Maurice de Vlamin-ck. The Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau (1826–1898) was the movement’s inspiratio-nal teacher. As a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he pushed his students to think outside of the lines of formality and to follow their visions.

The decline of the Fauvist movement after 1906 did not affect the career of Matisse; many of his finest works were created be-tween 1906 and 1917, when he was an ac-tive part of the great gathering of artistic talent in Montparnasse, even though he did not quite fit in, with his conservative appea-rance and strict bourgeois work habits. He continued to absorb new influences.

He travelled to Algeria in 1906 studying African art and Primitivism. After viewing a large exhibition of Islamic art in Munich in 1910, he spent two months in Spain stud-ying Moorish art.

In 1917 Matisse relocated to Cimiez on the French Riviera, a suburb of the city of Nice. His work of the decade or so following this relocation shows a relaxation and a softe-ning of his approach. This “return to order” is characteristic of much art of the post-World War I period and can be compared with the neoclassicism of Picasso and Stravinsky as well as the return to traditionalism of Derain. His orientalist odalisque paintings are characteristic of the period; while this work was popular, some contemporary critics found it shallow and decorative.

In the late 1920s Matisse once again enga-ged in active collaborations with other ar-tists. He worked with not only Frenchmen, Dutch, Germans, and Spaniards, but also a few Americans and recent American immi-grants.

In 1952 he established a museum dedicated to his work, the Matisse Museum in Le Ca-teau, and this museum is now the third-lar-gest collection of Matisse works in France.

According to David Rockefeller, Matisse’s fi-nal work was the design for a stained-glass window installed at the Union Church of Pocantico Hills near the Rockefeller estate north of New York City. “It was his final artis-tic creation; the maquette was on the wall of his bedroom when he died in November of 1954”, Rockefeller writes. Installation was completed in 1956.

Matisse died of a heart attack at the age of 84 in 1954. He is interred in the cemetery of the Monastère Notre Dame de Ci-miez, near Nice.

His interest is how individuals arrive at different understandings of the world between the habitual thought process and the complex idea of “absolute”. The viewer has an op-portunity to see through the surfa-ce by sprayed layers, since every la-yer within the painting is made of a single color but in different density. Thus, not only the surface but also the whole duration of the painting is essentially known.

Moproo Gallery Shangai. The work of Marc Schmitz (Hamburg, Germany, 1963) synthesizes the col-ours, moods, traditions and land-scapes of the Mongolian grasslands, where he spends part of the year, into poetic series of minimalist spirit in which he seeks for the depth of the non-duality by the means of repetition of non-representational elements.

Artist Haroshi saves skateboards from doom and helps them to be reborn into sculptures.Old and broken skateboards most frequently end up on landfill or bonfires. Artist Haroshi saves skateboards from doom and helps them to be reborn into sculptures. Haroshi removes the hardware, the carefully cuts, stacks, saws, grinds, and sands the pieces into a variety of shapes and figures. He has created Teddy Bears, Nintendo’s Mario, large hands, laughing skulls, and many other impressive pieces. Haroshi lets the mulit-colored layers from the skateboards provide the color.

Haroshi hides a little magic in all of his pieces, too. Inside of every sculpture hides a tiny metallic piece from the skateboard’s hardware which he believes adds spirit and life to the piece. In many of his creations Haroshi uses the broken edges of the wood to add texture and drama. Next time a skateboard snaps under your feet, take a closer look and see what it can become. Via Indulgd.
