We share with you our Artistic MOOCs favorites. We draw our inspiration, ideas and colour code from our artistic culture. Each time we delve deeper into one or another of the major artistic trends, it is an unparalleled pleasure to discover and rediscover an artist, an anecdote or just to put events into perspective!
So for all those who wish to refresh their knowledge in art history, we recommend the mooc of the Orange Foundationa treasure trove of free courses accessible to all.
During containment, we participated in a few contests on Instagram. The one in Castelbajac particularly caught our attention for two reasons. The first is that we have always loved Jean-Charles and even though he is no longer at the controls of his eponymous brand, we remain attached to the colourful, playful and humorous style of the brand. The second is that the contest was about giving his definition of art. So we thought it was right up our alley! Of course, we asked our community to encourage us by voting for us and surprise, we WON!
Our definition will be illustrated in the form of a print on one of the next Castelbajac collections and can be downloaded on @castelbajacofficiel as a wallpaper for smartphones!
The unfinished family portrait of the British artist DAVID HOCKNEY"My Parents and Myself" will be presented for the first time since its inception in the 1970s at the National Gallery of London from February 27 to June 28, 2020. Unfortunately, the health crisis of these few months will probably have allowed only a very small number of people to admire this portrait by one of our favourite artists. Caroline had a poster of Hockney in her room throughout her childhood, and as a result, he became like a long time friend to the whole family! This painting really has an unusual history in that David Hockney first painted this portrait of his parents in 1975 with his reflection in the mirror in the middle of the room. Then he decided to abandon this project (parent/child relationships can be a bit tumultuous at times!).
In 1977, he took up the project again from scratch, and to his surprise, his reflection disappeared... As was to be expected, the new painting changed its name and is now called "My Parents". It belongs to the private collection of the Tate Museum.
