How does an artist make a sculpture or a painting? What tools do they use? What happens to the artwork next? This fun, inside look at the life of an artwork shows the journey of two artists; work from studio to exhibition. Stopping along the way we meet colorful characters—curators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and more! Both illustrator and author were raised in the art world, spending their time in studios, doing homework in museum offices, and going to special openings. They have teamed up to share their experiences and love for this often mysterious world to a young audience. London-based illustrator Rose Blake is best known for her work in A History of Pictures for Children, by David Hockney and Martin Gayford, which has been a worldwide success. Author Doro Globus brings her love for the arts and kids together with this fun journey.

Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter, Marianne Werefkin
Royal Academy, 2022
Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945), Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876–1907), Gabriele Münter (1877–1962) and Marianne Werefkin (1860–1938) are among the exceptional artists associated with the emergence of Expressionism in Germany in the early decades of the 20th century. Each challenged prevailing ideals of feminine identity at a time of great societal change. As women, they were expected to marry and raise a family; some chose to, some did not. As ambitious artists, they wanted to work. As they rose to these challenges, their art further undermined conventions. Their portraits of children symbolize joy, hope and innocence but also melancholy, tension, curiosity, the passing of time and unfulfilled desire. Their radical depictions of the nude wrest the female body away from the male gaze toward a newfound role, expressive of powerful maternity and female subjectivity.

Andréi Nakov
Selena, 2023
Effacée de la scène culturelle pendant de longue décennies, et ce déjà du vivant de l’artiste, l’oeuvre de Kazimir Malewicz (1879-1935) a été découverte en Europe occidentale seulement à partir de la fin des années cinquante. Trois décennies plus tard, elle devient accessible au public russe. Son assimilation se fit graduellement à travers des filtres esthétiques, politiques, culturelles et autres. Mais à ce jour, l’extraordinaire potentiel de cette création eut à faire face à des filtres d’interprétations fantaisistes dont certains ont perduré ce jour. Dans ce texte sont abordés certains mythes fondamentaux de son interprétation tels les origines esthétiques de l’artiste (son rapport avec la langue d’origine), son rapport à la culture religieuse de son environnement russe et, avant tout, son intégration à l’art moderne européen auquel il appartient fondamentalement attaché. La lecture de ses formes suprématistes reste un sujet essentiel de sa création : au delà de ses nombreux écrits, elle conduit à une compréhension décisive de son message artistique. Au travers de ce texte, un certain nombre de préjugés anti-modernistes plastiques et culturels se trouvent ainsi questionnés. Avançant dans son interprétation de l’oeuvre de l’artiste, Andréi Nakov dévoile des strates inconnues de cette création qui s’avère de plus en plus fondamentale pour la compréhension de la modernité du XXe siècle.
