- Auf wiedersehen Britart: Germany wins when it comes to art | Jonathan Jones
Is Germany the greatest European art nation of the 20th century?Which country leads Europe in contemporary art? Britain, of course, you answer. Look at all those people flocking to Tate Modern. Wrong. The best artists in Europe today are German. The towering geniuses Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer radically contrast in how they conceive art yet both, from their divergent perspectives, one super-cool, the other romantic, achieve a profundity that makes most British art look trite.But to widen the question – which was the greatest European art nation of the 20th century? France? Wrong again. It was Germany. Only Germany has been at the forefront of modern art from the early 20th century right up until today. Paris declined as a creative capital after 1939, but German artists have been revolutionary for 100 years without missing a beat. The passion of expressionist painting and cinema, the fragmentation grenades of Dada, the idealism of the Bauhaus and realism of Neue Sachlichkeit – these German art movements of the early 20th century did not give way, as in France, to cultural decline but instead burned on into the 1960s and 70s, when Joseph Beuys showed that art can still reach into myth and memory to renew the world. Beuys and his legacy – continued by Kiefer, rejected by Richter – coincided with a great renewal of German cinema: for one aspect of the German genius is that fine art and film have merged there since the days of Murnau.And a final question – who created the Renaissance? Well, Italy did, but Germany was the first northern country to adapt Renaissance ideas to its own culture, and the only land north of the Alps to produce one of the masters of the High Renaissance – the towering figure of Albrecht Dürer, whose genius is celebrated in a timely new book ドイツは20世紀の偉大なヨーロッパの芸術の国ですか？現代美術のヨーロッパをリードしてどの国？英国はもちろん、あなたが答える
- Treasures from Budapest | Visual art review
Royal Academy, LondonIt is understandable that publicists for this exhibition chose to put Egon Schiele's 1915 work Two Women Embracing on the posters. Sex sells, and drawing does not come any sexier than Schiele's transfixing image, whose ultimate provocation is the way one of the women looks around at the artist to show that she is gratifying his fantasy. But there is more to the foregrounding of this erotic masterpiece than commerce: it exemplifies a theme that runs through this once-in-a-lifetime show.From the first room, where Hungarian gothic altarpieces are juxtaposed with Italian Renaissance delights, to the last, where Schiele gives you a final thrill, the art of central Europe is richly mingled with extraordinary works from the west that are in Hungary's public collections. I've never seen such a generous loan from one country's museums – by comparison, the Hermitage exhibit at the RA was quite cautious. This is a true blockbuster, practically a museum in itself, stuffed with surprises and marvels. Highlights include a portrait by Frans Hals that proves him the equal of his contemporary Rembrandt, a pair of working-class heroes painted by Goya, a Raphael homage to Da Vinci and, oh yes, a couple of Leonardo's own greatest designs. And that merely scratches the surface.The thread that connects it all is a vision of Europe. Western Europe's artistic development has been written as a march of progress since the Renaissance. Hungarian collectors fully subscribed to that version, and bought some supreme Italian works. But here you see those paragons alongside carved wooden saints from Hungarian churches in a way that expands your sense of the variety and greatness of the continent's heritage. European art through Hungarian eyes is a landscape made new.Rati ロイヤルアカデミーは、LondonItは、この展覧会の時事評論は、エゴンシーレの1915作品ポスターに抱きしめるふたりの女を置くことを選んだことは理解できる
- In praise of… Casper the commuting cat
The French Renaissance philosopther Michel de Montaigne once observed that when he played with his cat, he could not tell whether she was not amusing herself more with him, than he with her. And little in the feline character appears to have changed since. The world, or at least fellow passengers on the no 3 bus in Plymouth, is today in mourning for a cat who showed similar independence of spirit. Casper the commuting cat is no more, mowed down by an unthinking car. Casper had been making day trips on the no 3 for about four years, queueing patiently at the bus stop for a ride into town and back again. Casper became such a regular passenger on the route that drivers doing the turnaround would make sure he stayed on for the return trip and locals helped him to get off at the right stop. Casper's 11-mile meanderings were modest compared to Kofi the cat, who vanished from his home in Nottingham only to turn up in Ipswich three and a half years later, or Sandi, who hopped on to the ferry in Portsmouth and ended up in Bilbao. Common to all these journeys is the comfort in which they were conducted. Casper curled up at the back of the bus (he preferred First to Citybus) and Sandi ended up with a cabin to himself, on a diet of chicken and salmon. Of course it could be said that cats who give the open road a wide berth are the ultimate survivors. Casper had a thing about HGVs, but otherwise little road sense. That could have been his undoing. But, all things considered, what a ride it was.PetsAnimalsguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Michelangelo letters up for grabs as Renaissance archive goes up for sale
Government in Rome fights to keep Giorgio Vasari archive leaving Tuscany after purchase by mystery RussianAn artistic and literary enigma involving a mysterious death and a €150m deal reportedly struck in a Moscow hotel is expected to be resolved this weekat an auction in the Tuscan city of Arezzo.On sale will be the archive of the man credited with being the father of Western art history: Giorgio Vasari, whose Lives of the Artists chronicled the lives of the painters and sculptors of the Renaissance. The documents include 17 letters from Vasari's friend, Michelangelo, together with correspondence from five Renaissance popes and the 16th-century ruler of Florence, Cosimo I de' Medici.The archive is subject to an Italian government order that it should never be removed from Vasari's house in Arezzo. But last October, Giuseppe Fanfani, the mayor of the city, was told by an official it had been bought by a Russian gas magnate for €150m. Agreement was said to have been reached on 23 September, just days before the death of Count Giovanni Festari, the archive's owner.The mayor noted that the government order could be lifted in the future, and that unless the Italian state outbid the tycoon within six months, ownership of an irreplaceable fragment of Italy's history would be lost abroad. The announcement of the sale prompted an outcry from scholars and questions from art experts who said the archive was worth, at most, €10m.There was yet more confusion when a lawyer claiming to represent the unidentified buyer announced that his client too had died – in a car crash. But the date he gave for the accident was 14 days before the deal was said to have been struck at the Hotel Metropolitan in Moscow.Then, last November, government debt collectors claimed the archive to meet a bill 政府は、ローマの戦いのジョルジョヴァザーリアーカイブ謎RussianAn芸術と文学でのご購。謎謎の死事件の後、報道は、モスクワのホテルで三振€150メートル対処トスカーナを残し、このweekatアレッツォ、トスカーナの都市で競売解決することが期待されて維持する
