J. M. W. Turner (1775–1851, England)

Early watercolour paintings 1: landscapes

Joseph Mallord William Turner was an English Romantic painter specialising in landscapes. A master of oil and watercolour painting, he elevated both forms to previously unknown levels in academic circles which previously favoured genre scenes of classical antiquity or religion. Unusual for his strong focus on landscapes, Turner produced thousands of works in which his technique led to such refinement that his later paintings foreshadowed impressionism and abstract art.

Turner’s early period, up to around 1810, was defined by Romantic notions of the sublime towards landscape art - his landscapes often featured old buildings or ruins, and his sea scenes often conjured storms, or recalled dramatic naval actions with allusions to personal heroism and man’s subservience to nature. His developing skills were based on close observation of the Old Masters, and his attention to the natural details of a scene pointed towards the development of artistic realism.

American Flowers

The Inuits in the region call them “American Flowers,” but in reality they’re old, rusted, leaking fuel containers; ten thousand of them scattered across the otherwise-pristine Greenland landscape on what used to be an Air Force base during World War II.

The base—its leaking and rusted barrels, dilapidated cars, and crumbling asbestos-laden buildings—is the subject of photographer Ken Bower’s project American Flowers. A documentary photography project that seeks to shed some light on the wreckage left behind and encourage the US Government to go back and clean up the base, which was abandoned in 1947.

A Tour of the World in Photochromes

In the 1880s, Hans Jakob Schmid perfected a magnificent photographic colour printing process, called Photochrome. Starting from a black and white negative transferred onto as many lithographic stones as colours required in the final image, a subtly nuanced print was achieved at a time when colour photography was still only in its infancy.

At that time, Hans Jakob Schmid worked at the Orell Füssli Printing Company in Zurich, which took out a patent for this process in 1888 and founded the company Photoglob Zürich (P.Z.), with the express purpose of marketing the images in very varied formats, up to 40x50 cm, which enjoyed an immediate success and well beyond Switzerland’s borders. The First World War and the arrival on the market of the first colour photography processes sounded the knell of Photochrome.

The Swiss Camera Museum is displaying a sizeable collection of Photochromes, including large format views, sometimes panoramic, albums and various smaller collections, touristic pictures, which constituted a real invitation to travel across the world at the turn of the XIXth and XXth centuries.

Impermanent Sculptures

Vitor Schietti’s paints with light in the Brazilian central plateau seeking to bring his thoughts from unconscious realms into existence. Capturing vibrant images of fireworks creating intriguing light sculptures integrated with the majestic landscape.

From the artist:

I deliver myself to the present moment when drawing these light sculptures, which only ever existed for the digital eye of the camera, never really being perceived as a whole by a human witness.

The series is the result of several years of research on long exposure photography. Only one or two pictures per day were allowed, since the time window for which this balance is possible is very narrow (20 to 40 minutes). The Brazilian central plateau, in a kind of savana called “Cerrado” was the scenery for most of these experimentations. The margins of the lake Paranoa, the streets and the National Museum of Brasilia were also locations for some of the light paintings.

By creating these images, which I refer to as Impermanent Sculptures, I draw the viewers attention to abstract concepts taking place in real environments. Concepts to be interpreted and explored freely by whomever this work reaches.
