The Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine continues the art project “Conversations about Art”.
Date of the event: on August 15 at 19:00 there will be another discussion – online lecture “Outstanding artists: why their works are masterpieces” (part 1).
After the summer vacation, the Museum returns to artistic discussions and interesting topics. Who are the outstanding artists, geniuses who left their bright mark in art, changed it, created something fundamentally new? Why do their works fascinate and excite viewers for several centuries and inspire other artists? What makes a work of art a masterpiece? During our conversation, we will discuss this big topic, which will be the subject of our series of lectures. We will consider how an artist was born and formed in past centuries, what vicissitudes and changes occurred with his work. And we will also explore what content and even unexpected discoveries are hidden in recognized masterpieces.
In this lecture, we will take a trip to the times of the Italian and Northern Renaissance to get acquainted with the works of artists of the 15th – 16th centuries. We will look at the paintings of recognized geniuses – Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dürer, Bruegel and others and look at them in a new way. And in the following lectures, we will move further along the path of the history of art from past centuries to the present.
