A Queen s Treasure from Versailles: Marie-Antoinette s Japanese Lacquer

Transcription

1 WINTER 2018

2 EXHIBITIONS 1 OPENING AT THE GETTY CENTER Pastels in Pieces European paper was not manufactured in giant sheets until the 19th century. Competing with painters who worked on monumental canvases, 18th-century pastellists joined together multiple sheets of paper to create large, continuous surfaces. The piecing together of pastels also served other purposes, allowing artists to paper over their mistakes or paste the heads of important sitters onto the bodies of models. Matching each exhibited pastel with a map of its component sheets, this installation encourages visitors to consider how these objects were made. January 16 July 29, 2018 Museum, South Pavilion Michelangelo to Degas: Major New Acquisitions The Museum recently made one of the most spectacular acquisitions in its history, purchasing a collection of 16 drawings from a private collector. The group features exceptional sheets by many of the most celebrated draftsmen in European art history, including Michelangelo, Andrea del Sarto, Domenico Tiepolo, Goya, and Degas. This exhibition presents the drawings together with an exquisite painting by Antoine Watteau, La Surprise, acquired from the same celebrated collection. January 17 April 22, 2018 Museum, North Pavilion A Queen s Treasure from Versailles: Marie-Antoinette s Japanese Lacquer A Queen s Treasure from Versailles presents precious examples of Japanese lacquer from the private collection of the French queen Marie-Antoinette ( ). Her collection of small lacquer boxes was one of the finest assembled in Europe, and she considered it to be among her most cherished possessions. The elaborate and costly works reveal a fascinating aspect of the queen s personal taste and demonstrate the consistently high level of achievement attained by Japanese lacquer artists during the mid-edo period (about ) when these pieces were created.

Paul Getty Museum, Ms. Ludwig XIV 6 (83.MQ.165) Outcasts: Prejudice and Persecution in the Medieval World Medieval manuscripts preserve stories of faith, romance, and knowledge, but their luxurious illuminations can reveal hidden prejudices as well. Often created for the privileged classes, such books nevertheless provide glimpses of the marginalized and powerless and reflect their tenuous places in society. Attitudes toward women, Jews and Muslims, the poor, those perceived as socially divergent, and foreign peoples beyond European borders can be discerned through caricature and polemical imagery as well as marks of erasure and censorship.

3 Harald Szeemann: Museum of Obsessions Drawn from materials in the Harald Szeemann archive at the Getty Research Institute, Harald Szeemann: Museum of Obsessions explores the life and career of the quintessential exhibition maker from his groundbreaking involvement with the avant-garde movements of the 1960s and 1970s, to his global contemporary exhibitions of the 1990s and 2000s, to his personal reading of early 20th-century modernism. The exhibition is structured as a surprising series of thematic interests: avant-gardes, utopias and visionaries, geographies, and grandfathers. Harald Szeemann: Museum of Obsessions features a satellite presentation, Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us, on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (ICA LA) from February 4 to April 22, February 6 May 6, 2018 Research Institute Galleries Paper Promises: Early American Photography Paper Promises traces mid-19th-century experimentation with and exploitation of photography on paper. Rare photographs and negatives are featured alongside iconic images from the formative years of photography in the United States. The exhibition demonstrates the importance of photographic reproduction in shaping and circulating perceptions of America and its people during a critical period of political tension and territorial expansion.

4 EXHIBITIONS 3 Cut! Paper Play in Contemporary Photography Interaction with paper plays an integral role in the practice of many photographers working today. Some create paper models with images gleaned from current events, popular magazines, or the internet for the express purpose of photographing them. Others cut, layer, fold, or assemble representational photographs to introduce tactile or narrative elements. The exhibition features works by Thomas Demand, Christiane Feser, Daniel Gordon, Soo Kim, Matt Lipps, and Christopher Russell. February 27 May 27, 2018 Museum, Center for Photographs, West Pavilion Rembrandt and the Inspiration of India One of the most intriguing series in Rembrandt s oeuvre comprises his drawings made in the style of artists serving the Mughal court in India. Juxtaposing Rembrandt s depictions of Mughal rulers and courtiers with Indian paintings and drawings of similar compositions, this exhibition reveals how contact with Mughal art inspired Rembrandt to draw in an entirely different, refined style prompted by his curiosity for a foreign culture. March 13 June 24, 2018 Museum, West Pavilion Beyond the Nile: Egypt and the Classical World This major international loan exhibition explores the artistic interplay between the three great cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome from about 2000 BC to AD 300. Highlights include finely crafted vessels sent by the pharaohs to Crete and Mycenae, Egyptian statues that served as inspiration for the first Greek sculptors, striking portraits in both Egyptian and Greek style, and luxurious decorative objects made for wealthy Romans obsessed with all things Egyptian.

Williams Auditorium Thinking Like a Roman: How to Renew America s Polarized Landscape Can lessons from ancient Rome help resolve contemporary political struggles? While many historians are skeptical given Rome s history of conquest, slavery, and autocratic rule, classicist Joy Connolly suggests that the Roman example paves the way toward lively civil discourse on hot-button issues. Connolly proposes that Roman thinkers, especially Cicero, can help us better understand our political values and talk with one another across personal affiliations.
