Matisse und Picasso als Kulturreisende
"Primitivismus als Anthropologie" bricht mit der herrschenden Meinung, die Aneignungen vermeintlich primitiver Objekte in de Kunst der klassischen Moderne in Frankreich habe im Bann ihrer furchterregenden Andersheit und besonderen Primitivität stattgefunden. Vielmehr läßt sich zeigen, daß in Frankreich um 1900 eine visuelle Praxis des kulturellen Vergleichens gang und gäbe war, die mittelalterliche Kunst, japanische, ägyptische, archaisch-antike, sumerische, iberische, afrikanische, ozeanische und viele andere Kulturen auf eine Stufe stellt und gerade nach den Gemeinsamkeiten fragt. Den beiden Protagonisten der klassischen Moderne, Henri Matisse und Pablo Picasso ging es weniger um die...
Picasso's Collection of African & Oceanic Art
Although he never set foot in Africa, Picasso had a passion for African art. Throughout the course of his life, he assembled a unique collection of statues and masks.

Matisse--Metamorphoses
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) is adored worldwide as a revolutionary painter and loved for his collages, or papiers découpés, the icons of his late work. His work in painting and drawing for a long time overshadowed his achievements as a sculptor. Yet his Back Series, four bas-reliefs created between 1908 and 1930, are revered as a milestone in modern sculpture. Starting out from a naturalistic depiction, Matisse gradually transformed it to reach a radically abstracted figure. Each of the four original plaster casts represents a decisive moment of this artistic process. This transformative process has parallels in Matisse's painting and drawing. Published in conjunction with a major exhibition...
