The Emotions of Art: in Peace and in Conflict – (By Eileen Callejas, March 21, 2013)
Although playfully surfing down the rotunda hall of the Guggenheim would never be possible without the help of digital animation, one other playful and creative installation which gave the impression of suspending water in mid in the center of that museum was recently on display:
Gutai Exhibit: Splendid Playground:
Take a moment to listen to the Guggenheim Curator for this exhibit about its installation:
One need not go to the Museum itself to see the works of art that the museum owns, and may only see a selection of their total collection at any one time. Many pieces from the Museum’s collection can also be viewed on their website: http://www.guggenheim.org or carried in one’s pocket by downloading their art App:
One famous piece from the Guggenheim collection, which is exactly the opposite of the serene Gutai suspended-water installation is a work by the famous Pablo Picasso, depicting the emotion that takes place when another out-of-place water-creature is suddenly encountered on land:
Lobster and Cat (Le homard et le chat), January 11, 1965. Oil on canvas, 28 3/4 × 36 1/4 inches (73 × 92 cm). Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York Thannhauser Collection, Bequest, Hilde Thannhauser, 1991 91.3916. © 2013 Estate of Pablo Picasso / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.
When you see this work, does it make you laugh? Does it make you wonder how each of the animals might be feeling? In this odd encounter, do these animals appear to be in a stance of bullying or defending? Do you see how well Picasso is able to use simple shapes and brush strokes to depict movement, action, and emotion? If this were a video clip, what might happen next? How might this action-scene end?
Picaso not only has a collection of works at the Guggenheim, but a special exhibit depicting his art across the timeline of his life was displayed at a another prominent New York Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Here is a short 12 minute YouTube video with the MOMA Director and Curator discussing the exhibit:
Another Prominent New York Museum, where similar abstract and geometrically looking artwork can be seen, is the Folk Art Museum, which houses works of other Self-Taught Artists who made statements with their drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations during their lives:
