euroArt

euroArt is the european federation of artist colonies Apart from that, life in the countryside was relatively cheap. Many of them are combined in euroArt.

The Artists’ Colony as a phenomenon came into being in the first half of the 19th century, when the artists, especially the painters, began to travel to the countryside. They were driven as much by the desire for a simpler, more natural existence as by the wish to rid themselves of academicism in art. With the emergence of plein-air painting, the landscape changed from the background to becoming t

he subject in their works. French, and later foreign, painters went to Barbizon in the woods of Fontainebleau and, further to the south, to the river-sited Grez-sur-Loing, next to places like Pont-Aven and Concarneau on the coast of Brittany, where life was even rougher and more primitive. After Barbizon, small or bigger artists’ colonies sprang up all over Europe, among other countries in England, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, Hungary and Switzerland. Besides the landscape, the local population proved to be a rich source of inspiration. With the painters came friends from many disciplines; writers, poets, composers, representatives of the music- and theatre-world and, in their wake, art critics and art collectors. The artists’ colony became a meeting-place for them. In some cases, a community with an idealistic purpose developed. After the new phenomena were written about, the colonies began to attract so many tourists that they lost their original charm as an artists’ colony. After the First World War most artists’ colonies of the old style had come to an end. Art in those days was in pursuit of a different approach. The open-air painting of the landscape and the portraiture of farmer’s life had lost their attraction. More and more the painters drew the basic forms of the human spiritual life into their art. The basis for that renewal of art, however, was firmly rooted in the artists’ colonies. They renovated European and international art as forerunners and pioneers of Realism, Impressionism, Symbolism, Pointillism, Divisionism, Fauvism, Surrealism and Expressionism. The artists who worked in them often took home new ideas and undreamt of possibilities and spread these there. And what is even more important now, is that a lot of the artists’ colonies have survived and are blossoming in a new, modern way. (Text: Francisca van Vloten)

Masterpiece at euroart – Frits Thaulow - "Het Brijkie", Volendam

A Norwegian painter who befriended Monet and Rodin, collected honors from France, Italy and Tunisia — and who spent his very last days painting in Volendam. Frits Thaulow (1847–1906) was one of those rare artists who seemed to belong everywhere and nowhere at once, always following the light.
He started out as a marine painter, studied in Copenhagen and Karlsruhe, spent years in Paris and the French countryside — and became famous above all for one thing: his extraordinary ability to capture the movement and reflection of water. Monet painted the stormy sea; Thaulow preferred quiet canals and gentle rivers. As he once said himself: "I am more drawn to the gentle and harmonic than to the vigorous." Today's painting is proof of that — a perfectly still canal in Volendam, ducks gliding across the surface, a woman kneeling at the waterside, the colourful Dutch facades mirrored in the water. Pure tranquility.
What makes this painting even more special: Thaulow developed diabetes in 1897, long before insulin existed, and his health slowly declined over the following years. He died in Volendam on November 5th, 1906 — brush in hand until the very end, in the very village we call home. 🎨

Meesterwerken uit Le Havre I Raoul Dufy

🌊 “Ik zie het licht van de baai van de Seine waar ik ook ben.” — Raoul Dufy

Raoul Dufy wordt in 1877 geboren in Le Havre en volgt er lessen aan de gemeentelijke school voor schone kunsten. Het zee- en havenlandschap van zijn jeugd blijft een onuitputtelijke inspiratiebron. Hoewel hij aan het einde van zijn leven in Zuid-Frankrijk woont, keert hij in gedachten steeds terug naar zijn geboortestad. In zijn werk duiken dan ook regelmatig herkenbare elementen op, zoals de haven en het casino.

Deze feestelijke botenparade valt op door het ontbreken van perspectief. De verschillende motieven lijken kriskras naast elkaar geplaatst, wat de drukte op de promenade en de deining van de zee suggereert. De smalle stroken boven- en onderaan verbeelden respectievelijk de industriehaven en de promenade van de boulevard van Le Havre.

at euroart- Ekesund (Museumsberg Flensburg)
Emmy Gotzmann: Küstenlandschaft, Ekensund - 1905

What a trailblazer! In 1903, the male-dominated artists' colony of Ekensund on the Flensburg Fjord was visited by two talented young Berlin artists — Gertrud Wurmb and Emmy Gotzmann. They were the first women to set foot there — and Emmy clearly made quite an impression. She returned the following year and quickly earned recognition as a respected fellow artist, standing out through her particularly consistent approach to French plein-air painting.
Emmy Gotzmann, born in 1881, came from Chemnitz to Berlin, where she was taught by painters of the Berlin Secession. And today's painting shows exactly why she belonged among them — raw, bold brushwork, a rugged coastline captured with confidence and energy, the sea glimmering behind dark rocks. No polite, decorative landscapes here!
In 1905 she moved to Flensburg for several years to devote herself professionally to oil painting, and her exhibition in 1908 at the Flensburg Museum of Arts and Crafts was a great success that still receives recognition today.
A big thank you to our member from Museumsberg Flensburg for sharing this wonderful piece!

För 125 år sedan kom Raffaello Gambogi med hustrun Elin Danielson till Önningeby. Den 21 augusti 1901 skrev Elin ett brev i Önningeby till sin morbror där hon ber honom köpa några meter linneduk: ”För i denna usla stad, Mariehamn” fanns ingen duglig målarduk att uppbringa… Mariehamn var trots sina 40 år obetydlig, så det är förståeligt att varuutbudet var begränsat.

Tack Heikki Paloheimo för tillgången till det intressanta brevet!!

Raffaellos fina självporträtt inköptes i England för ett par år sedan till Önningebymuseet. Det kan i sommar beskådas i utställningen om Raffaello Gambogi.

Museet är öppet tis-sön kl. 11-16
Besöksadress Jonesasgatan 4
Välkomna!!

Gå på opdagelse i den anmelderroste særudstilling "Plantefeber – Verden i vindueskarmen" i botanikkens fascinerende univers, og nyd de mange skønne motiver med indlån fra museer og private, der går smukt i samspil med værker af Fynbomalerne. Fra Fuglsang Kunstmuseum har vi været så heldige at låne dette vidunderlige værk. Her i Cathrine Svendsen Engels maleri ses grønne potteplanter, klatrende vinstokke samt små spirer. Vindruer var en populær drivhusplante i tiden, og der var prestige i at kunne servere frugterne til dessert. Vandkanden på gulvet og den orden, hvormed planterne er arrangeret vidner om både omsorg og kontrol af væksten. Som en forudsætning for det hele strømmer sollyset ind fra det store vinduesparti.

Cathrine Svendsen Engel, Forår i vinhuset. Snoghøj, ca. 1918.
