The Dutch Masters: Van Dyck

The Dutch Masters: Van Dyck 2000

1

The pupil of Rubens, Anthony van Dyck followed his master's example by traveling to Italy as part of his artistic training. Like Rubens, he found inspiration in the Venetian Renaissance masters Titian and Giorgione. An enthusiasm for rich colors and a remarkable ability to depict the texture of fabric characterized Van Dyck's best work. But even more than Rubens, Van Dyck focused his attention on the art of the portraiture. Appointed Court Painter to the English King Charles in 1632, the portraits he produced provide an unrivaled visual insight into the noble men and women of the day, as well as displaying his technical mastery of the genre.

Soliloquy (Sharon)

Soliloquy (Sharon) 2000

1

An early meditation on the relationship between celebrity presence and audience response, which belongs to a trilogy of three short films (the other two, also accessible via Vimeo, zoom in on Clint Eastwood and Jack Nicholson). According to Nicholas Bourriaud,“The storyline and the contextual backdrop of the original feature film vanish along with the secondary actors, all now relegated to the mute realm of the proverbial cutting room floor. The result is an unusually direct and somewhat violent relationship between the secluded actor and the viewer, who is granted an almost obscene access to the star. Composed of a series of film clips isolated and chronologically strung together, the new films crudely distill every grunt and murmur of the designated star.”
