Klee and Aguéli: the physical and metaphysical qualities of the image
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
In 1914, Paul Klee went to Tunisia, where he discovered that he was a painter. The same year, Ivan Aguéli embarked on his third and final sojourn in Egypt, the country that shaped his ideas about life and art. This anecdotal coincidence is the starting point for this exhibition about the two artists and their respective approach to the foundations of visual arts: the artist’s mission, the choice of subject matter, the act of creating, and the physical and metaphysical qualities of the image.
Klee and Aguéli each had a complex relationship to the “art scene”. On the one hand they – as writers, critics and teachers – were aware of, and deeply engaged in, the various styles and tendencies in the emerging new art. On the other, both maintained their distance, not to say resistance. Their critical stance to avant-garde art also reflects a critique of the emerging new ideas on rationalism, progress and production utility. This is obvious in the works of Klee and Aguéli, which communicate an awareness of their historic context, yet suggest something delayed and contrary. Thus, the essence of the exhibition is a reflection on what drove these artists, and their strategies for relating to an increasingly inhumane and conflict-ridden world.
