Exposition Art Blog  Mikulas Medek - Czech modern painting - Art Informel

"Mikulas Medek (November 3, 1926 - August 23, 1974) was a Czech painter.He is considered one of the most important representatives of Czech modern painting and one of the most important exponents of the post-war period.Medek's work initially relies on the tradition of surrealism, later it brings new elements of the spiritual dimension. In 1952, he entered his "existential period" with the central theme of the human character in space, and at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s he came to abstract painting. As a result, so-called "prepared paintings" of color matter, arranged in the form of surface symbols and rationally distributed color formations have come into being. He brings the theme of the basic question of the meaning of human life directly to the color of its original image-making techniques"

Bude líp aneb Zásadně je to na nás

+ pf 2021

Nejprve, milí dlouholetí (ale i případní noví!) příznivci projektu Krimifest (napodporu předcházení zločinnosti kolem nás), vyjádření té nejupřímněj��í omluvy (lítosti), že jsme společně nemohli naplnit programové letošní plány!

Zvláště když cílem tentokrát bylo nejen pobavit širší publikum kvalitními kulturními zážitky, ale zároveň naším obvyklým způsobem (příjemně družně) připomenout výroční (20ileté!) konání KF.

Nezbývá než předložit nejnovější slib: vše si nahradíme v nejbližším možném termínu a nejraději hned - v novém roce! K čemuž samozřejmě patří (byť v „drobném“ předstihu – někdo musí ovšem vždycky být první) novoroční přání:

Držme si palce k úspěšnému zvládnutí aktuální pandemické situace – aby nic nebránilo našim rodinám, dobrým známým, spoluobčanům, sousedům ve společných/společenských schůzkách s všemožným hodnotným kumštem! Po celý zdravý rok se šťastným značením 2021!!

Nadále z hloubi srdce Váš jaroslav.kopic@krimifest.cz

MIKULAS MEDEK (1926-1974) / NO ME HA DADO TIEMPO A MÁS

MIKULAS MEDEK (1926-1974) / NO ME HA DADO TIEMPO A MÁS

Nunca puede haber una obra de arte completa o perfecta porque la perfección ha muerto, decía Alan Davie. Y también, pienso yo, porque es difícil definirla y tampoco hace falta hacerlo.  

Mas el checo MEDEK  nos hace sentir lo que proclamaba Spinoza, que la belleza no es tanto una cualidad del objeto que se percibe cuanto un efecto en quien lo percibe.  Y lo percibimos como un conjuro, como una…

Mikuláš Medek  (Czech, 1926 - 1974)

DÉCOLLETAGE ,  1962

oil and enamel on canvas , 150.00 x 95.00 cm

(C) Sotheby's

...Décolletage is an intensely-worked example of Medek’s characteristic technique. For the artist’s biographer Bohumír Mráz, 1958 saw the beginning of Medek’s fourth period. Involving layers of paint being applied in a process of construction and destruction with spatula, knife, and even fingernails in the wet medium, the artist’s working methods recall the experimental technique of the Surrealists, notably Max Ernst, which inspired Medek’s earlier technique. While the viewer may recognise abstract forms in Medek’s surfaces, Mráz describes the importance the artist ascribed to the structural surface of his paintings, which became both subject matter and expressive means, turning into an ‘organism created in space and time’.

Mráz regarded the artist’s work as inherently taking life as its inspiration: ‘Just at the beginning of the sixties when Medek’s paintings appeared to be purely abstract, the concrete reality of his studio plays the most evident part in them. The series of monumental red paintings which introduce the year 1962 are the product of the dominant colour of Medek’s indoor surroundings and express his emotional atmosphere so effectively that it surprises even the uninitiated onlooker’.

The present work is notable in its central vertical compositional device, irregular in its definition yet reminiscent of the vertebrae of a spine. This in conjunction with the combined Czech and French titles, which translate as Excision / Dissected picture, evoke the idea of Medek not only painting an abstract depiction of an emotional state, but taking the viewer onto a journey inside his body, deep down to his heart and soul. The intricate surface structure of the canvas can thus be seen to represent blood, flesh and bones, with organs and cells laid bare by the incision of the artist’s brush...
