Abstract

"Art is often seen as a solitary, even a reclusive, endeavor. But visual artists, writers, and musicians often find themselves energized by a collective environment. Sharing ideas around a table has always provided a starting, and a continuing, place for fruitful exchanges between artists of all kinds. In her wide-ranging new book, Mary Ann Caws explores a rich variety of gathering places, past and present, which have been conducive to the release and sustenance of creative energies. Creative Gatherings surveys meeting locations across Europe and the United States, from cityscapes to island hideouts, from private homes to public cafes and artists' colonies. Examples include Florence Griswold's house in Old Lyme, Connecticut, meeting place of the Old Lyme Art Colony; Prague's Le Louvre caf , haunt of Kafka and Einstein; Picasso's modernist hangout in Barcelona, Els Quatre Gats; Charleston, gathering place of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa and Duncan Bell; and the caf s of Saint-Germain-des-Pr s and Montparnasse: the hangouts of Apollinaire, Sartre, and Patti Smith. Interweaving two hundred examples of collaborative artworks throughout the text, with more than one hundred in color, Creative Gatherings is a beautiful, erudite commingling as inspiring as the gathering places Caws depicts."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

While impressionism was rampant in Belgium around 1900, a number of artists in Ghent resisted capturing fleeting impressions. Together with young intellectuals, they also oppose capitalism and increasing industrialization. One by one they leave the city and settle in the neighboring village on the Leie: Sint-Martens-Latem. In the twilight years of Symbolism, the artists immerse themselves in nature and rural life, in search of originality and depth. For their work they use stylistic devices from the past, but their art is authentic and refreshing. Never before has the first Latem artist colony in the Netherlands been given full exposure. The book accompanying the exhibition in the Noordbrabants Museum focuses mainly on the work of prominent members George Minne, Valerius de Saedeleer and Karel Van de Woestijne. More than sixty paintings, drawings and sculptures provide a picture of this important group of artists in Flanders at the beginning of the twentieth century. Exhibition: Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch, The Netherlands (10.07.-09.10.2022). Terwijl rond 1900 het impressionisme hoogtij viert in België, zet een aantal kunstenaars in Gent zich af tegen het vastleggen van vluchtige indrukken. Samen met jonge intellectuelen keren zij zich ook tegen het kapitalisme en de toenemende industrialisering. Eén voor één trekken zij weg uit de stad en vestigen zij zich in het naburige dorp aan de Leie: Sint-Martens-Latem. In de nadagen van het symbolisme verdiepen de kunstenaars zich in de natuur en het landleven, op zoek naar oorspronkelijkheid en verdieping. Voor hun werk grijpen zij naar stijlmiddelen uit het verleden, maar hun kunst is authentiek en verfrissend. Nooit eerder werd de eerste Latemse kunstenaarskolonie in Nederland in de volle breedte belicht. Het boek bij de tentoonstelling in het Noordbrabants Museum richt zich voornamelijk op het werk van de prominente leden George Minne, Valerius de Saedeleer en Karel Van de Woestijne. Ruim zestig schilderijen, tekeningen en beeldhouwwerken geven een beeld van deze belangrijke kunstenaarsgroep in Vlaanderen aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw.
