Exhibitions in 2011

I promised to give a short overview of the exhibitions coming up in 2011. Before the new term kicks in and my blogging time is severely curtailed, I’d better make good on that promise.

The Poetry of Drawing: Pre-Raphaelite Designs, Studies and Watercolours, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, 29th January- 15th May.

 The year kicks off with a exhibition of 19th century graphic work encompassing all generations of the Pre-Raphaelite movement; artists include John Ruskin, Elizabeth Siddal and Simeon Solomon.  

Jan Gossaert’s Renaissance, National Gallery, 23rd February- 30th May.

 I don’t know about you but I’ve already got the Jan Gossaert (Mabuse) exhibition plotted into my schedule. The National Gallery hosts this show in late February. It’s on transfer from the Metropolitans, NY, and judging by what I’ve heard, it’s going to be well-worth seeing.  I’ll be heading down there in early March. 

 

Jan Gossaert, Adoration of the Kings, London, NG.

A Collector’s Eye: Cranach to Pissarro, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, 18th February to 15th May.

I like exhibitions about collectors and taste. This easily fits the bill: a comprehensive survey of art in the Schorr Collection “assembled by private collector David J. Lewis for his family interests.” 

Watteau’s Drawings: Virtuosity and Delight, Royal Academy of Arts, 12th March- 5th June.

J. A. Watteau, Head of a Woman, Hermitage, c. 1710.

One exhibition I’ve been looking forward to ever since it was announced has been this, an event showcasing the beautiful drawings of the rococo artist Jean-Antoine Watteau. Sad and lonely, an outcast who painted fete galantes, a completely new genre,Watteau was also an incomparable draftsman. With over 80 works on paper, this promises to be special.  

Life, Legend, Landscape: Victorian Drawings and Watercolours, Courtauld Institute, Feb 17-May 15

The second exhibition of 19th century drawings, this time at the Courtauld.  It will be interesting to compare the aims and contents of this specialist event with the Birmingham show, as well as last year’s Pre-Raphaelites and Italy, held at the Ashmoleon. At the same time as Brian Sewell asks, in an exhibition note, what does “Victorian” actually mean in this context. Judging from the artists on display, I would say the Courtauld are using it as a synonym for the PRB.

John Martin, Tate Britain, 21st September-15th January, 2012.

John Martin, The Bard, 1817, Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle.

After Turner, John Martin is the next greatest romantic painter. Who can forget his Welsh Bard about to leap of a cliff in defiance of the English? This exhibition is co-organised with the Laing in Newcastle, which boasts the greatest collection of Martin’s art. You want apocalypse in your art- look no further than this tempestuous painter from Newcastle. 

twombly and poussin: arcadian painters, 29th June-25th September, Dulwich Picture Gallery.

 This exhibition has come straight out of left-field. I have no idea who the hell is behind this, but take it from a Poussin scholar who has tried to introduce new ideas into the field; you may be riding for a massive fall. I can already see the critics sharpening their darts and dipping them in poison. I welcome new approaches in Poussin, but know from experience how insanely defensive the field has become. 

 Art for the Nation: Sir Charles Eastlake at the National Gallery, 27th July- 30th October.

Sir Charles Eastlake, John Prescott Knight, R.A., 1857.

Eastlake is the master-builder of the renaissance collection at the N.G. At last he gets an exhibition celebrating his erudition, taste and vision. One of the N.G.’s free summer shows, it’ll be interesting to see what selections are made to honour the first- and most important- director of the museum.  

Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan, 9th November  5th February, 2012.

Leonardo da Vinci, Madonna of the Rocks, London, NG, 1495-1508.

To cap the year, a true blockbuster billed as an “unprecedented exhibition – the first of its kind anywhere in the world. “ In the light of current rows about loans, the next section of the endorsement is interesting…"brings together sensational international loans never before seen in the UK.” One thing is for sure: if loan disputes are resolved, this show will be really worth visiting.

There’s more of course, but that’ll do for now. Happy exhibition-going.
