Abstract

Familieportretten verbeelden de schone schijn. Zo bewijst dit boek waarin Nederlandse familieportretten uit de 17de en 18de eeuw op nieuwe wijze worden belicht. Op het eerste gezicht lijken zij realistisch, maar dat blijkt lang niet altijd het geval. Op verzoek van hun opdrachtgevers maakten schilders zich geregeld schuldig aan 'beeldmanipulatie'. Overleden personen zijn als levend afgebeeld en met een huwelijk of geboorte werden nieuwe familieleden bijgeschilderd. Na een flinke ruzie werden figuren net zo makkelijk ook weer gewist uit de voorstelling. Met een kritische blik en jaren van onderzoek laten de auteurs zien dat zelfs in de portretkunst, het ogenschijnlijk meest waarheidsgetrouwe genre in de beeldende kunst, de waarheid niet altijd even nauw wordt genomen. De mooiste verhalen komen aan het licht. Verhalen over perfecte huwelijken en verboden liefdes. Over de plotselinge dood en de vreugde van nieuw leven. Over het lief en leed van het familiebestaan.

Abstract

"Edouard Manet's paintings have long been recognized for being visually compelling and uniquely recalcitrant. While critics have noted the presence of family members and intimates in paintings such as Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe, Nancy Locke takes an unprecedented look at the significance of the artist's family relationships for his art. Locke argues that a kind of mythology of the family, or Freudian family romance, frequently determined Manet's compositional decisions and choice of models. By looking at the representation of the family as a volatile mechanism for the development of sexuality and of repression, conflict, and desire, Locke brings powerful new interpretations to some of Manet's most complex works." "Locke considers, for example, the impact of a father-son drama rooted in a closely guarded family secret: the adultery of Manet pere and the status of Leon Leenhoff. Her nuanced exploration of the implications of this story - that Manet in fact married his father's mistress - makes us look afresh at even well-known paintings such as Olympia. This book sheds new light on Manet's infamous interest in gypsies, street musicians, and itinerants, as Locke analyzes the activities of Manet's father as a civil judge. She also reexamines the close friendship between Manet and the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot, who married Manet's brother. Morisot becomes the subject of a series of meditations on the elusiveness of the self, the transience of identity, and conflicting concerns with appearances and respectability. Manet and the Family Romance offers an entirely new set of arguments about the cultural forces that shaped these alluring paintings."--Jacket.

Abstract

"I am sick of Portraits and wish very much to take up my Viol da Gamba and walk off to some sweet village when I can paint Landskips and enjoy the fag end of life in quietness and ease." Despite this famous protestation in a letter to his friend William Jackson, Thomas Gainsborough (1727-88) was clearly prepared to make an exception when it came to making portraits of his own family and himself. This book features over 50 portraits of himself, his wife, his daughters, other close relatives and his beloved dogs, Tristram and Fox. Spanning more than four decades, Gainsborough's family portraits chart the period from the mid-1740s, when he plied his trade in his native Suffolk, to his most successful latter years at his luxuriously appointed studio in London's West End. Alongside this story of a provincial 18th-century artist's rise to fame and fortune runs a more private narrative, about the role of portraiture in the promotion of family values, at a time when these were assuming a recognizably modern form.

Abstract

" T, mon amoureux, le père de mon fils est décédé le 5 avril 2010 d'un accident vasculaire cérébral. Il est tombé à coté de nous sur une plage de la mer du nord.La violence de sa mort m'a placé devant un grand vide... un silence qui résonnait dans ma tête auquel faisait écho un ciel bleu intense de l'absence d'avion du aux cendres d'un volcan en colère, ma colère. Face à cette perte, je me suis enfoncée dans mon travail quotidien de journal intime que je poursuis depuis plus de 10 ans, en y inscrivant ma souffrance mais aussi ce trop plein de vie qui bouillait en moi. Cette expérience aussi intime soit-elle je la reconnaissais dans les mots des autres qui très vite m'ont approché pour parler de leur expérience de la mort et du deuil. Ces blessures difficiles à dire trouvent rarement un interlocuteur, cet échange si nécessaire pourtant car un défunt reprend un peu vie au travers des paroles partagées.-- Anne De Gelas " L'Amoureuse, de Anne de Gelas, est la chronique autobiographique d'une douleur immense, celle du deuil suite à la perte de l'être aimé. C'est un récit qui mêle des textes sous la forme d'extraits de journal, la photographie au travers d'autoportraits et d'images de l'enfant (lien charnel avec le père disparu), et des croquis qui font lien entre les images et le texte.

Abstract

In tegenstelling tot vele andere aanzienlijke families, heeft de oude Amsterdamse regentenfamilie Van de Poll al in de vroege negentiende eeuw maatregelen getroffen om de verzameling familieportretten bij elkaar te houden. In 1935 richtte de ongehuwde Frederik van de Poll samen met zijn zuster de Van de Poll-Wolters-Quina Stichting op en werd de kerncollectie van portretten aan deze stichting overgedragen. De collectie van de familiestichting is sindsdien door schenkingen en legaten nog aanzienlijk uitgebreid. De portretverzameling van de stichting geeft een fascinerend overzicht van ruim twee eeuwen portrettraditie.
