Slow Motion, Kurt Seligmann, 1955, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

red spiral-like form in ULQ connected to a rounded, curving grey form; blue and grey shadowy background images; yellow and green forms in ULQ; black ground Kurt Seligmann is often associated with the French Surrealists, whose works were recognized for their fantastic, dreamlike imagery. Seligmann exhibited with this group throughout the 1930s before emigrating to New York in 1939. With personal interests as diverse as alchemy, magic, and gardening, Seligmann filled his canvases with biomorphic and organic forms. Deliberately ambiguous in its subject matter, Slow Motion is from a later period in the artist's career when he was involved in costume and stage design for ballet and modern dance performances. Size: H.46-7/8 x W.38-13/16 in. Medium: oil on canvas

RR Pod E17 P1 Roundtable Pádraic E. Moore & Ewoud van Rijn - The 'Esoteric Turn’ in Contemporary Art: Connection and Communication In Part 1, Pádraic and Ewoud both talk about their backgrounds and their own interests in the esoteric/occult, and then we move on to talk more about the inspiration for 'The Great Invocation' (Garage Rotterdam), plus Ewoud's inspiration for his own installation there. We talk more about the Theosophical Society as a movement and how it relates to contemporary art; we talk about Kurt Seligmann and the surrealists' viewpoints on art, magic, and the potential of the human mind; and Ewoud discusses an experience he had in the search for a new form of art practice. See the video on YouTube for more information + links!
