This painting was in the Schlemmer retrospective in the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum in 1985 - the first time I went to an exhibition.
she is so polite that she instinctively nod "sorry" to the cameraman
This has always been one of my favorite painting and I really feel it’s a unsung masterpiece of the the collection. I get why it’s hung in a stairwell, but at the same time that does so much to undermine it prominence and the potential for everyone to see it. It comes off as very dismissive like when they put many of the paintings by female artists in the hallways or next to elevators and how they usually do the same thing to Wyeth’s Christina’s World. Museums know where you hang a work has deep meaning and for once I would like to see this painting centrally located headlining a wall drawing viewers into the gallery from another room as it should be. There is so little German art on display in NYC as is compared to other countries, so why not give it the place of prominence that it so rightly deserves. This video more than makes that argument clear as why it should be so too.
I like Oskar Schlemmer's paintings, although I'm not a big fan of the Bauhaus architectural style. That said; anything the Nazis hated definitely deserves great credit.
Love, love, love this delightful person, in a rather eminent position, recounting the provenance of the painting and rounding it off with "sons of bitches"! In Afrikaans we say "Noem 'n ding op sy naam", meaning "Call it by it's name". Bravo MoMA for permitting something so quaintly irreverent.
We need to continue to “get it, just to spite those SOBs.”
Wonderful presentation by an obviously passionate young woman. G-d bless you and Good Shabbos.
I love this paint... It.was one of my "shy" approaches to art analysis during my uni years, it has this unique energy that summarize something organic and primigenial as the bauhaus movement
Brilliant artists, thank you for the story behind it,
always enjoy coming on this painting.
Poignant story, many thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻
I only knew about his triadic ballet at the Bauhaus
went to moma a couple years ago... idk if this has been there a while but i don’t remember that.... to be fair i remember basically nothing except that i bought a $30 elephant stuffed animal and i love it
Thank you Christina..
It is honestly a beautiful capsulized pill of time. Thanks for this.
Never was a fan of Bauhaus but still would never be willfully ignorant enough to claim it worthless and corrosive.
Peter Murphy is a legend tho
So sad. I’m glad it was rescued.
Beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing that bit of history with us.
Love UNIQLO, Love MoMA.
I want to see more!
A laconically informative video. Thanks for this bit of art history.
Nicely done.
Congrats cousin !
Woouu, una pregunta, ¿cuál es la técnica artística que emplea Oskar Schchlemmer? ¿Cómo pintaba o creaba sus obras? ¿A qué movimiento artístico pertenece?
Very nice👍
UGH! Tell us how he got it!!!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
its great
OMD brought me here.
Good
At one
You were in quarentine at the Moma?
Never again.
How ironic to talk about this and one of the first words being "quarantine".
Bauhaus had many communist students and was a state run school that in its early days under Gropius built modernist housing for factory workers. A later director of the school was fired in 1930 for being too communist. after this many students from Bauhaus fled to the Soviet Union to continue their work. It frustrates me when art is depoliticised by neoliberal institutions. Communism was a real force for change in the world back then, Germany nearly left WW1 due to a soviet style uprising of communists and labour unions. Why is this history conveniently left out by American capitalist institutions
'what did you do during the war?'
'I went to fight on the front line. After we lost and I got injured, I became a spy and informant for the resistance! You?'
'Oh, I painted a picture'
"...this painting was done in response, etc. etc." ... Americans seems to be experts in determining the motivations of artworks. The presenter hasn't done too much painting in her life, obviously.
Bauhaus destroyed art
