Живопись Густава Климта - прекрасная, чувственная, эротическая - рассказывает о мире неги и отдыха, который, кажется, бесконечно далёк от грубой обстановки, в которой мы живём. Затрагиваемые им темы - аллегории, портреты, пейзажи и эротические фигуры - никогда не содержат ссылок на чрезвычайные обстоятельства, скорее они призваны создать мир, в котором правит красота. Климт обращался к цветам и узорам, на которые повлияло искусство Японии, древнего Египта и византийской Равенны. Плоская, двухмерная перспектива его живописи и часто стилизованные образы создают произведения, насыщенные глубокой чувственностью, в которых царят женщины.

In Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s most famous paintings, grapes, fish, and even the beaks of birds form human hair. A pear stands in for a man’s chin. Citrus fruits sprout from a tree trunk that doubles as a neck. All sorts of natural phenomena come together on canvas and panel to assemble the strange heads and faces that constitute one of Renaissance art’s most striking oeuvres. The first major study in a generation of the artist behind these remarkable paintings, Arcimboldo tells the singular story of their creation. Drawing on his thirty-five-year engagement with the artist, Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann begins with an overview of Arcimboldo’s life and work, exploring the artist’s early years in sixteenth-century Lombardy, his grounding in Leonardesque traditions, and his tenure as a Habsburg court portraitist in Vienna and Prague. Arcimboldo then trains its focus on the celebrated composite heads, approaching them as visual jokes with serious underpinnings—images that poetically display pictorial wit while conveying an allegorical message. In addition to probing the humanistic, literary, and philosophical dimensions of these pieces, Kaufmann explains that they embody their creator’s continuous engagement with nature painting and natural history. He reveals, in fact, that Arcimboldo painted many more nature studies than scholars have realized—a finding that significantly deepens current interpretations of the composite heads. |
