EXHIBITION: Vermeer and Music: The Art of Love and Leisure

Bearded Bunny Blog Ticket Giveaway!  First two people to leave a comment on this blog will win a pair of tickets to the show! (The show is in the Twin Cities)

DATE – Thursday, October 10, 2013 (worldwide)

SYNOPSIS - The National Gallery, London, is offering a major exhibition on one of the most startling and fascinating artists of all – Johannes Vermeer, painter of the Girl with a Pearl Earring.   Vermeer painted little more than 30 works that still exist, and the National Gallery has chosen to focus on his art in relation to music.   Music was one of the most popular themes of Dutch painting and revealed an enormous amount about the sitter and the society. This will be the central theme of this ambitious exhibition.  New research, revealed for the first time at this exhibition, also uncovers how his technique and materials affected his works. 

Our event goes beyond the exhibition to tell the entire story of Vermeer’s life – and, in doing so, as always we show in detail many other of the artist’s great works.   The 2003 film Girl with a Pearl Earring starring Colin Firth and Scarlet Johansson took $40m worldwide and partly illustrates the great and continuing appeal of this wonderful artist. 

Our event will ideally suit this wide audience who adore his work – and want both to see it in detail and learn more about this mysterious, fascinating man.

EXHIBITION: MUNCH – Great Art on Screen

June 27th

7:30pm

Purchase Tickets: http://www.fathomevents.com/#!exhibition-great-art-on-screen

EXHIBITION will feature the world’s foremost upcoming art exhibitions, creatively captured by Philgrabskyfilms.com / Seventh Art Productions - producers of the multi-award-winning arts biographies “In Search of …” (titles include Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn and Chopin) and broadcast via NCM Fathom Events digital network to over 250 cinemas nationwide. The events won’t just cover the exhibition’s paintings: important questions will be also asked and answered. What lies behind the exhibition creatively and technically?  What does this particular collection of paintings and objects reveal about the artist or the particular historical period? What do we learn about the presenting institution?  These will be wonderful records of extraordinary exhibitions and first-rate biographies of artists. The events will combine sensitively shot material about the artist and period, filmed both at the exhibition and on location.

SYNOPSIS - In 2013, all of Norway will be celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Edvard Munch (1863–1944), one of the towering figures of modern art. This is already being hailed a “once-in-a-lifetime show”.  Global interest is huge - not least as a result of one of his four The Scream paintings having recently set a public art auction record of $120 million.

Munch 150 will be co-hosted by the National Museum and the Munch Museum, both in Oslo. This exhibition is the most ambitious presentation of Munch’s art ever. With 220 paintings it will display the greatest number of Munch’s key works ever. Many know Munch as the man who painted The Scream, but his complete works are remarkable and secure his place as one of the most greatest artists to have ever lived. 

Once again, the event will be going behind-the-scenes to show some of the process of putting the exhibition together – as well as touring Norway to provide an in-depth biography of a man who lived from the mid 19^th century right through to the German occupation of Norway in the Second World War.  Norwegian and international guests will also offer their expert insight and knowledge to host Tim Marlow.  A superb show and a fantastic event for cinema screens.

SYNOPSIS - This eagerly awaited exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts will be the first ever major exhibition in the UK devoted to the portraiture of Edouard Manet.  Spanning the entire career of this enigmatic, and at times controversial, artist, Manet: Portraying Life will bring together great works from across Europe, Asia and the USA.

Manet’s engagement with portraiture has never been explored in an exhibition form, despite it forming around half of his artistic output. Manet painted his family, friends and the literary, political and artistic figures of his day, giving life not only to his subjects but also to Parisian society of the time.

The exhibition consists of more than 50 works; including masterpieces like Music in the Tuileries, Olympia, Luncheon on the Grass & The Railway. Also featured are portraits of Manet’s most frequent sitter, his wife Suzanne Leenhoff, luminaries of the period Antonin Proust, Émile Zola and Stéphane Mallarmé, and scenes from everyday life revealing Manet’s forward-thinking, modern approach to portraiture.

The event also reveals exclusive behind-the-scenes moments of the exhibition’s preparation – moments usually hidden from view – and interweaves a detailed, superbly crafted biography of Manet and 19^th century Paris.  Host Tim Marlow - with expert guests - looks at the work of one of the all-time great artists.
