リヒター展

2022.6.8

竹橋まで来たら東京国立近代美術館にも行かないと。朝から怒涛のアート祭りです！

ちょうど昨日から始まった「ゲルハルト・リヒター展」へ。朝、国立西洋美術館でリヒターの「雲」を観た時、まさか同じ日にリヒター展に行くとは思ってもいませんでした（笑）

それにしても想像以上に観に来ている人がたくさんいて驚きました。ドイツの現代アートの巨匠・リヒターの個展を楽しみにしていた人が大勢いたということなんですかね？（東京では初めての美術館での個展だそうです）

ザ・抽象画もあれば、ピンボケした写真と間違うような油絵もあり、色々なタイプ、大きさの作品があり、なかなか面白かったです。

企画展の後は常設展へ。

新収蔵作品の速水御舟の掛け軸。写真ではなかなか伝わらないかもしれませんが、非常にカッコいい作品でした。今まで観た中の掛け軸ナンバー１かも…。

近代美術館の常設展は大好きなので閉館の17時までいましたが、時間が全然足りませんでした。

この後は東京駅でお茶を。友達のスマホで今日歩いた距離を見たら13.5キロ以上でした。2万歩には届いていませんでしたが、まぁよく歩きました！

夜、ジムに行こうと思っていたのですが、明日からの仕事に差し支えそうなので止めておきました。

あ〜本当に楽しい一日でした♪　友達２人に感謝です！

SET TWELVE - ROUND TWO - MATCH TWO

“The Icebergs” (1861 - Frederick Edwin Church) / "Maman" (1999 - Louise Bourgeois)

THE ICEBERGS: The sense of scale on those icebergs in so well done. This piece really conveys their MASSIVE size. At first you glace at the artwork and think they're not so big, until you see the boat at the bottom. And that's just the mast. It puts into context just how huge these icebergs are. It's insane that we have such massive otherworldly structures here on earth, that look so powerful and almost magical. That deep blue in the bottom right corner with the sunken ship just showcases the dangers and the force of nature, and how we don't really know much of what lies beneath. In this big world we are still so. small. and that fucks me up.

And the canvas is huge! Which helps convey the scale of these glorious, magical, terrifyingly beautiful icebergs. (@thegirlsinthecity)

MAMAN: I think there are a lot of different ways to look at it (especially depending on your relationship with your mother), but knowing that Bourgeois' mother was a weaver (or somehow involved in textiles) really makes it hit different. (@beelzeblogging)

(“The Icebergs” is an oil on canvas painting by Frederick Edwin Church. It measures 1.64 m × 2.85 m (5.4 ft × 9.4 ft) and is located in the Dallas Museum of Art.

"Maman" is a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois made of stainless steel, bronze, marble. It measures over 30 ft high and over 33 ft wide (9.3 x 8.9 x 10.24 m). There currently 6 locations worldwide (Tate Modern off display, UK, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Spain, Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, and Qatar National Convention Center, Doha, Qatar).)
