Sir Nathan Bacon |
Chapman Brothers |
Heti ensimmäisen 1500-luvun huoneen kohdalla jäi ihmettelemään "harrastelijamaalari" Sir Nathaniel Baconin (1585-1627) suurta ja värikästä taulua "Cookmaid with Still Life of Vegetables and Fruit". Englantilaisen maalaustaiteen huipuiksi osoittautuivat kyllä tämänkin näyttelyn perusteella John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942), Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) ja Lucian Freud (1922-2011), kaikki miehiä eivätkä aina niin selvästi edes englantilaisia. Tämä ripustus pitäisi katsella hitaasti, huone tai teos kerrallaan, mitä aarteita mahtaisikaan löytyä - sen tehdäkseen pitäisi siis asua Lontoossa.
In London I simply had to inspect the new exhibition of English visual art in Tate Britain. Here is an example for all the art museum of the world. The collection of English art was arranged naturally chronologically according to different periods or centuries, there were about 30 rooms from the 1500`s room to the 2000`s. The paintings, sculptures and other works of every period were selected finely. With a few nicely selected works you could see or feel the central idea and the atmosphere of a period and the feeling in every room was different. Actually I would have liked to explore all the hundreds of works more closely, both the familiar and the unknown. Somehow the exhibition attracted the interest. But after the beginning of 1900`s my eyes properly accepted only Chapman Brothers (Jake b. 1966 and Dino b. 1962) great and even a bit funny room of totems "Family Collection". Right at the beginning in the 1500`s room I remained amazed in front of "amateur painter" Sir Nathaniel Bacon´s (1585-1627) large and colourful painting "Cookmaid with Still Life of Vegetables and Fruit". The tops of the English visual art turned out to be even after this exhibition: John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942), Stanley Spencer (1891-1959)
and Lucian Freud (1922-2011), all men and not all even clearly English. This exhibition should be viewed slowly, a room or a work at a time, what treasures might you find - but to do that you had to live in London.
