In this episode, we explore the development of neoclassicism in European art during the 18th century. Neoclassicism symbolizes a return to rational thought and human wisdom, reflecting on the past while contemplating the present. Unlike classicalism, neoclassicism is closely tied to social and political changes, aiming to revive the simplicity of ancient styles. The discovery of the ancient city of Pompeii in the 18th century sparked a renewed interest in classical art, influencing various fields like painting, literature, music, and design. Prominent figures like Winckelmann and Gombrich played pivotal roles in promoting neoclassical art, leading to a renaissance of classical ideals in Europe. The era also saw the rise of revolutionary ideas, closely linking neoclassicism to the French Revolution. As society embraced democracy and freedom, neoclassicism gained prominence as the dominant artistic movement, shaping the discourse of art and culture in Europe.
In today's cultural segment, we will learn about the first exhibition of its kind hosted by the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. The exhibition sheds light on the relationship of Arab artists with the city in the twentieth century. Arab Revelations is an exploration of the transformations in modern Arab art, from historical narratives to artistic expressions that are largely unknown in Europe. The selected works come from local collections such as the Barjeel Art Foundation in Sharjah, the Ibrahim Foundation in Oman, the Museum of Modern Art in Cairo, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Algeria, as well as private collections. The exhibition aims to familiarize visitors with the artistic history of the Middle East, particularly in relation to Paris in the twentieth century, highlighting the dialogue between Arab artists who came to Paris for training and study. The exhibition discusses the challenges faced in organizing such an event near the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, which plays a significant role in the cultural scene. The exhibition explores the political and artistic dimensions of Arab art, starting from the early 1900s to the late 1980s, marking pivotal moments in the history of modern Arab art.
Art can also be locked in at 9pm on tinder for the next episode of traveling with art. In this episode, we will explore the golden age of 17th century Dutch art and how it broke up with the parents. We will lead the audience into the land of tulips and carriages to see how the Dutch thrived during this time. The Baroque style was born from the religious divide in Europe during this time, with the Catholic and Protestant camps representing different styles. In the Northern Netherlands, a simpler and more natural style emerged as a rejection of the opulence of the south. The region's prosperity was driven by trade, and they dominated European maritime trade with a population of less than 2 million people. With their independence from Spanish rule, they became one of the wealthiest regions of the time. The Dutch Golden Age was a time of prosperity in science and art, with a focus on genre painting. Middle-class citizens, enriched through trade, began investing in art and creating a market for art works. This led to a proliferation of art works, with over 1.3 million produced in just 20 years. Dutch artists had to create works first and then find buyers, unlike the commission-based system of the Renaissance. This relationship between artists and buyers gave rise to the gallery system and a more commercialized art market. For artists, this system offered economic independence but also came with its challenges of exploitation and competition. Artists had to constantly create new works to meet market demand, leading to a repetition of styles and subject matter. However, this focus on specialization also allowed for the creation of experts in their fields. The Dutch artists of the 17th century captured everyday life with simple and realistic depictions, showcasing a sense of freedom and relaxation in their work. The art of the Dutch Golden Age reflects a society that valued leisure and culture, embodying a newfound sense of freedom and self-expression.
Greetings to you and our viewers wherever you are in this special episode of the culture program. I have a greeting for you from the city of Shurooq, where you are sitting watching on the iPhone. Today we will get to know the “Generation of Arts” group at the Sharjah Art Museum with Sultan Saudiya, the fiancé of the series Saud Al-Qasimi. Welcome, emphasizing the significance of the first microphones in which you spoke in your city of Shurooq, and I chose to meet here in front of the Sharjah Art Museum. The museum is located in the area where we are now, a historically significant area with houses dating back over a hundred years. This is the area where many museums are located, including the Islamic Museum, the Arabic Calligraphy Museum, the Clock Museum, and also the Arts Museum, which was established in 1995 and the building was inaugurated in 1997. It is the oldest museum in the area for modern art. The visual artist aims to reach you through the phone in the year 1998 or 1999. Now, our art collection has become the most important one. There are collections available in two towers in the Sharjah Art Museum. It includes collections that have been or will be presented by artists from the Arab region, modern and contemporary art. We are talking about the transfer of this collection to the Sharjah Art Museum. The museum is one of the oldest in the area. A significant event was the first transfer of the collection in 2018. They give us one of the four main objectives of the museum, meaning that they welcome the government's efforts and emails about the museum. The museum is considered a relatively large space, 750 square meters, and we entered our artworks permanently or for a long time in 2018. The museum is very interested in achieving equality between works of female and male artists. Why, in fact, the challenge is to personally view the artist. We have heard many times that there are no important female artists in the Arab world. Therefore, the challenge is to visit any museum in Sharjah, where you can see the works of twenty female artists and others. Unfortunately, the Arab world adopted this incorrect idea from the West and repeated it in many museums in the region, resulting in an unequal presentation from a gender perspective. For artists from the Arab world, nowadays it is necessary to have a work that is preferable to be created and preferably from before the 1950s. This is the main standard that tries to restore balance. In the first ten years of the suffocation, so that it was close to what was proposed in the market and the place of the disc, the market was ninety percent with the works of men, who were like dragons' eyes, meaning. I don’t want to mean anything by important male artists, but the works of female artists took a challenging turn and managed to rebalance the group creatively. The works of female artists from the Arab region have many names that we will get to know shortly, but also the state or nationality of the artists are important. There is a great interest in artists from countries that I worked a lot on the map of the art scene in the Arab world such as Yemen and Libya. This is evidenced by the work that there is a presence of artists from Arab countries that are not well-known because they are very conservative in their countries. This was not the case in the Gulf countries, for example, as they were unable to enter the market. Correctly, the most important museums do not depend on them, especially in recent times. In Yemen and Libya, which are countries with a very ancient civilization, the focus has been able to obtain several artistic works by artists who have passed away to be on display. This work is a living example of this, by the work of the Yemeni artist Hakim Al-Haq. Speaking of this Sultan's uncle, Hakim, the most important for symbolic history to the Arab or happy Yemen, is a graduation project for the artist Hakim Al-Aqla when he was studying at the Sura Academy in Syria in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This work through four slides, the viewer can understand or learn the story of Yemen through us if a political action is taken, Sultan's political action. What are the criteria that matter to you in choosing new paintings to enter the Bridal Group? We are talking about the importance of the work for you. This is a painting by the Syrian artist Saeed Tameem, who was the education and important artist as he studied in Iraq, Syria, and Misev, and other parts of the Arab world. He was also a prominent artist, supporter of Arab unity between Syria and Nasser in the 1950s, and in this painting, he reflects the importance of President Jamal Abdel Nasser. He was a man of peace initiatives, but a man of strength, literally making a difference. Can I act? Can we see peoples of the world celebrating it, such as in Africa or South America? These represent countries of non-alignment, which he was part of creating, drawing from the works of art to the works of the butter, there are works that take us to work that makes you feel proud as an artist, or an artist unfortunately who traveled from one of. The most important artworks we have, including the leading Palestinian artist Ashraf al-Saadi, with a small number of her large and important paintings. She was born in 1905 in Jerusalem and studied under the Palestinian artist Gaban Kahlil and placed paintings here in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s of this Palestinian and individuals, Palestinian faces and flags. Unfortunately, after the disaster of Damascus and not writing there, she died there in 1988. This program of painting, after your permission, is a very rare program that carries great responsibility on us to preserve and secure it. She is a Palestinian artist, meaning the opposite of the Palestinian identity and history. I consider it one of the most important pieces that I killed in the search for the most recent works in the Arab world. What are the difficulties and challenges facing you in the search for rare artworks? The truth is that there is a lot of luck in old books from the fifties and sixties for this asset and the second is that there is a big migration, as the Arab world became in the mid-twentieth century, and many of the works went to Europe or North America, meaning that they were forgotten in video or offline. I don’t want it to mean that a world where all important works are left behind countries like Palestine, Qatar, Syria, Jordan, and others. I love that many of the works remain in these countries.
