The Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine continues the art project “Conversations about Art”.
Date of the event: on September 26 (Thursday), another conversation will take place – an online lecture “Outstanding artists: why their works are masterpieces.” Part 4.
In the new lecture, we will continue the study of the phenomenon of artistic masterpieces and their authors – brilliant innovative artists. This time we will travel to the 17th century. – the time of significant historical events, long-term wars, but also the flourishing of culture and art. We will get to know the outstanding artists of the Netherlands – Rembrandt, Jan Vermeer, Frans Hals and other painters. Why did the tumultuous 17th century become the “golden age” of Dutch painting? How did its flowering affect the variety of new genres in European art? What unexpected parallels can be found in Dutch and Ukrainian history that influenced artistic life? We will consider these and other questions during the lecture.
As in previous online lectures, we will examine the secrets of remarkable works of art. Why do they fascinate and excite viewers then and now and inspire other artists? How can the power of a creative personality influence the development of art and be ahead of its time? So we will investigate how the formation of artists took place in the realities of past centuries and in the conditions of complex historical events, how new styles and genres were born in their work. We will also see what symbols or unexpected stories are hidden in famous masterpieces. And in the following lectures, we will travel further in the interesting and fascinating world of art from past centuries to the present.
