During the boom years in the second half of the nineteenth century, a multitude of mansions and splendid public buildings sprang up around Vienna´s magnificent boulevard, the Ringstrasse. In summer 2015, the Belvedere will be dedicating the exhibition Klimt and the Ringstrasse to those charismatic painters who adorned the Ring´s buildings and shaped the style of their era. Starting with the oeuvre of "painter prince" Hans Makart, it traces developments up to the triumph of the young Gustav Klimt and his painters´ collective, the Künstler-Compagnie. Reconstructions of entire decorative ensembles will present the dazzling lifestyle during the Ringstrasse era to visitors. The exhibition will not only feature sensuous, narrative artworks, but also examples of the young Klimt´s art, which have never been shown to the public before.

The topic of metamorphosis is directly related to his work, without model or witness, in the privacy of the studio. Fragile plasters as well as bronzes, marble figures, drawings, watercolours and photographs all attest to this creative intensity.

The exhibition "The Nature of Art Nouveau"  reveals the role that nature had in the Art Nouveau and how much the nature was the source of inspiration for the artists at the turn of 19th to 20th century.

The touring exhibition, now presenpresented in Glasgow, has been organised by the Réseau Art Nouveau Network in the framework of the European project "Art Nouveau & Ecology" (2010-2015) and supported by the Culture 2007-2013 programme of the European Commission. The exhibition comprises two identical concurrent exhibitions and has begun its journey to all partner cities in October 2013.

This exhibition is free.

The Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza, in collaboration with the Munch Museet of Oslo, will host the first major exhibition to be held on the Norwegian artist in Madrid since 1984. The presentation  will examine Edvard Much´s long and prolific career through eighty works by the painter, half of them from the collection of the Munch Museet.

Structured by themes, it will explore the representation of the human figure in various settings: the coast, the patient´s room, the abyss, the green room, the forest, night, the artist´s studio. In order to show the radical nature of his artistic language, the exhibition will study the interplay between flat and sinuous forms, the ambiguity of opposites, symbolic colour, the expressive deformation of the body and the use of experimental textures and engraving techniques. Edvard Munch will ultimately analyse the artistic strategies used by the painter to orient space towards a psychic dimension and convert his compositions into a lasting truth that symbolises the human condition.

Art study days: Edvard Munch

On 22 and 23 October 2015, the Museum´s Department of Modern Painting is organising art study days in connection with the temporary exhibition on Edvard Munch. Aimed at students and teachers, as well as the general public, they will take a new look at Munch´s work as well as vindicating his status as one of the founders of modernity.

The exhibition "Only Those Who Fight Survive: L´École de Nancy and the Political and Social Questions of its Period" presents  l´École de Nancy through a heretofore unseen prism: that of the political commitment of Emile Galle, Victor Prouve and other members of the Art Nouveau movement in Nancy.

The relationship between art and politics is explained to a certain extent by the search for total and social art yet also by its historical context.
Firstly, visitors discover the particular dimension that Art Nouveau had in Nancy due to Lorraine´s convulsive history, the trauma that arose from losing territories annexed by Germany in 1871 and Nancy´s role as a border town and last bastion against the German threat. Then the show covers the decisive action of Émile Gallé, l´École de Nancy´s first president.
Several works illustrate his stance in favour of oppressed peoples such as the Armenians, Irish, or Romanian Jews. His commitment in the Dreyfus affair went beyond the arts. Here, we discover the intellectual Gallé and his public and political involvement. Victor Prouvé, who would succeed Gallé
as president of l´École de Nancy, had a diferent political sensibility, influenced by anarchism and his friend Charles Keller, an old communard. The exhibition reveals Victor Prouvé´s evolution and his ornamentation for buildings, in which his republican commitment is apparent. This led him to be elected municipal counsellor in 1912.
Finally, the last section covers the venture of the Nancy People´s University and People´s House. Members and sympathisers of l´École de Nancy joined his educational project and participated in several initiatives.

The show, which has received the certification of "Exhibition of National Interest"
from the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, lets us discover the intellectual modernity of l´École de Nancy, which mobilised on issues that are still topical today.

The exhibition "Modernism. Art, workshops, industries" provides a complete overview of this movement focused on the so-called decorative and applied arts and crafts that played a larger role (the stained glass, wrought iron, ceramics, artistic carpentry ... ).

Within the new concept of modern art that was formulated at the end of the 19th century, the difference and hierarchy between the various artistic genres began to become less distinct. Graphic art consequently became the subject of enormous interest and experimentation on the part of painters such as Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard and Mucha, among others, a fact that also benefitted specialist illustrators who began to be seen as artists. In addition, technical innovations in printmaking which allowed for increasingly rapid methods of reproduction of higher quality and in larger print runs, combined with the increasing presence of advertising as part of contemporary culture, definitively broke down the previous boundaries which had confined graphic illustration to books and magazines and this medium now took possession of the street in the form of posters.

The exhibition explores Anglada-Camarasa´s interest in Japanese art, which was shaped during his years in Paris. This interest is evident in his collection of Japanese prints and books, which will be displayed in relation to his work.
