FASZINATION DER ZEICHNUNG Über die Wichtigkeit und Wertigkeit der Zeichnung in der Kunst wurde viel diskutiert. Die wichtigste Arbeit haben jedoch grosse Künstler, wie Leonardo, Raphael, Goya, Dürer, Picasso geleistet. Sie waren alle großen Zeichner und haben die Rolle der Zeichnung als wichtigstes Mittel zur Abbildung der Wirklichkeit oder der Ideen betont. Das Zeichnen wurde als der kreativste künstlerische Akt bezeichnet. Es zaubert Wirklichkeit aus Nichts, schafft Ordnung aus dem Chaos, oder bringt das Wesentliche aus der Wirklichkeit hervor. Die Zeichnung ist des Künstlers Handschrift. Salvador Dali bezeichnete das Zeichnen als „der Erhlichkeitsakt der Kunst“ wo Täuschung und Betrug keinen Platz hat. Die Zeichnung ist entweder gut oder schlecht. Der eigenständige Wert der künstlerischen Zeichnung wurde schon in der frühen Renaissance erkannt und in der Kunsttheorie des Barocks und der Romantik hochgejubelt. Zuccari (anfangs 17 Jahrhundert) hat die Zeichnung mit dem göttlichen Schöpfungsakt verglichen. Für Hegel war sie eine der höchsten Künste. Obwohl in der Moderne von einer Krise der Zeichnung gesprochen wird, griffen auch ihre „Größen“ (Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse) oft zum Zeichnen und reden darüber, wie wichtig der Rückkehr zu dieser Ausdrucksform ist. So darf man die Zeichnungsproduktion des 20. Jhdts. auch nicht geringschätzen. Die Zeichnungen gewinnen in Museen und Kunstsammlern immer höheren Stellenwert. Wie bekannt, hat die Wiener Albertina eine der wichtigsten und größten Sammlung der Welt. Das PhantastenMuseum Wien bringt mit der Kurzausstellung „Faszination der Zeichnung“ einen kleinen Beitrag zu diesem Diskurs.

It is important to realize that the artists selected for this exhibition will only represent a mere fraction of the now global branches of vision that has its origins in the roots of Fantastic Realism. It is equally important to offer the public an opportunity to realize the past, present and continuing generations of these artists that share a common passion that inspires an enormous spectrum of uncommon visions.

There may ALSO be artists submittiing who have had a long standing association to the genre’. NOTE: Again; artists already represented in the museum’s collection need not submit work as their work will be part of this exhibition and integrated in the presentation.

Artist Santiago Ribeiro the curator of the very successful “Surrealism Now” exhibition in Coimbria, Portugal, in collaboration with Liba Waring Stambollion have organised a quality exhibition in the heart of Paris at Dorothy’s Gallery, the American Center for the Arts. The exhibition brings together artists from diverse countries, such as France, Portugal, Russia, United States, Czech Republic, Vietnam and Latvia. “ Surrealism, which was born after the first wold war, is characterized by its opposition to all social conventions, moral and logic. It is a movement immersed in dreams, instinct, desire, rebellion, and the liberty of life. It is also perhaps the movement most tied to imagination, a movement fully alive in the artistic and literary worlds. In Portugal, it is perhaps the link which ties these two worlds together. Prof. Perfecto Cuadrado said so aptly in one of his conferences: “The history of Surrealism, meaning anthologies, studies, catalogues (and exhibits) devoted to the so called International surrealism, needs to be divulged – the price, sometimes, in a simplified fight against other forms of simplification, when it is not against a total silence due to sectarianism, or ignorance whether French, Portuguese or International.” Surrealism through words, painting and sculpture continues, like life to be: insistent, concrete, daily and real. This exhibition in Paris, the birthplace of the movement, is proof that “International Surrealism” is still alive.” Maria Fernanda Pinto Paris, 06/01/2012 Exhibiting Artists Andrej Nekrasov, Anne Ethuin, Benjamin Marques, Daniel Hanequand, Evgeny Denisov, Gregory Potosky, Isabel Meyrelles, Liba Waring Stambollion, Paula Rosa, Santiago Ribeiro, Serge Sunne, Shahla Rosa, Victor Lages, Vu Huyen Thuong, Yuri Shpakovsky and Yuri Tsvetaev. originally posted in FANTASTIC VISIONS, February 29th
