'Walther Vanbeselaere, Verzamelaar voor de staat 1948-1973'
Sint-Martens-Latem, Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens, i.s.m. het KMSKA
2 juli 2017 – 1 oktober 2017
Deze zomer presenteert het museum Dhondt-Dhaenens van 2 juli tot 1 oktober de moderne kunstcollectie van het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen, voor een belangrijk deel samengebracht onder hoofdconservator Walther Vanbeselaere tussen 1948 en 1973. Zijn ideeën over de moderne Vlaamse kunst waren bijzonder invloedrijk en hebben de kunstgeschiedschrijving en de canon in België in de 20ste eeuw meebepaald. Ook op de vorming van de verzameling Dhondt-Dhaenens had Vanbeselaere een zeer grote invloed. Door de belangrijke rol die hij in deze instellingen heeft gespeeld, kunnen tussen beide collecties parallellen getrokken worden.
De tentoonstelling brengt werk van Belgische moderne topkunstenaars zoals James Ensor, Henri Evenepoel, Léon Spilliaert, Edgard Tytgat, Jean Brusselmans en Rik Wouters – kunstenaars die Vanbeselaere bijzonder hoog in het vaandel droeg. De conservator had evenwel ook oog voor de internationale kunstcontext van die tijd. De rijke collectie Belgische kunst werd door Vanbeselaere aangevuld met werk van kunstenaars als Edgar Degas, Hans Hartung, Karel Appel, Ben Nicholson en Giacomo Manzù.
Voor de presentatie van deze tentoonstelling werden drie hedendaagse kunstenaars uitgenodigd om de museumruimte naar hun hand te zetten. Kunstenaars Oleg Matrokhin, Bart Lodewijks en Jacqy duVal treden in dialoog met de collectie Vanbeselaere a.d.h.v. architecturale, coloristische en tekenkundige ingrepen.
Kunstenaars in de tentoonstelling
Henri De Braekeleer, Jan Stobbaerts, James Ensor, Henri Evenepoel, Léon Spilliaert, Valerius De Saedeleer, Gustave Van de Woestyne, Jakob Smits, Albert Servaes, Frits Van den Berghe, Gust. De Smet, Constant Permeke, Hippolyte Daeye, Edgard Tytgat, Jean Brusselmans, Henri-Victor Wolvens, Rik Wouters, Edgar Degas, Hans Hartung, Karel Appel, Ben Nicholson, Odilon Redon, Georges Grard, Giacomo Manzù en Marino Marini.
Publicatie
Ter gelegenheid van de tentoonstelling, verschijnt ook een publiekscatalogus. Met teksten van o.a. Tanguy Eeckhout (curator Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens), Dr. Herwig Todts (conservator KMSKA), Evita Piscador, Thijs Dekeukeleire, Pepa De Maesschalck, Katrien Denayer, Céline Vermeire, en Eline Stoop.

CONF: Food, glorious food: Food at the heart of nineteenth-century art
'Food, glorious food: Food at the heart of nineteenth-century art'
Organized by ESNA (European Society for Nineteenth-Century Art)
Antwerp, MAS (Museum Aan de Stroom)
June 8-9, 2017
Check out the full programme and registration details for this year's ESNA conference here.
Organized in conjunction with the exhibition 'Antwerp à la carte' at Antwerp's MAS, this 2-day international conference examines the various and complex relations between food, the experience of eating, and 19th-century art. Modern phenomena such as industrialization, liberalization of the market, urbanization, rise of the middle class, issues of nationality and gender, leisure time and economic upheaval affected the gastronomic field as well as the depiction of it in the visual arts. This new fascination for food was reflected in the entire panoply of the artistic field, ranging from recipes, food literature, decorative arts and interior design to works of art and art criticism.
Organizing committee: Leen Beyers (MAS, Antwerp), Allison Deutsch (University College London), Maite van Dijk (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), Mayken Jonkman (RKD-Netherlands Institute for Art History, The Hague), Lisa Smit (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam).
Scientific committee: Jan Dirk Baetens (Radboud University Nijmegen), Leen Beyers (MAS, Antwerp), Ilja van Damme (University of Antwerp), Allison Deutsch (University College London), Maite van Dijk (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), Rachel Esner (University of Amsterdam), Mayken Jonkman (RKD-Netherlands Institute for Art History, The Hague), Jenny Reynaerts (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Lisa Smit (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam), Marjan Sterckx (Ghent University).
Registration
Regular: € 60 (both days) - € 40 (1 day)
Student: € 40 (both days) - € 25 (1 day)

CFP: Revisiting Rediscovery: Early Netherlandish Art in the Long 19th Century
'Revisiting Rediscovery: Early Netherlandish Art in the Long 19th Century'
Historians of Netherlandish Art Conference, Ghent, Belgium
May 24-26, 2018
Panel Chairs: Edward Wouk, Assistant Professor, The University of Manchester; Alison Hokanson, Assistant Curator, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Francis Haskell famously argued that the “rediscovery” of early Netherlandish painting in the nineteenth century was central to the notions of history and culture that undergirded the rise of the modern nation-states of Belgium and the Netherlands. This view has been enriched by recent scholarship on the medieval and Renaissance revivalist movements that took hold in both countries from about 1840 through the early years of the twentieth century. Yet the complex relationship between artistic and literary practices of the period and the emergence of a distinctly northern European history of art remains largely unexamined, and its implications unacknowledged.
As Léon de Laborde, Camille Lemonnier, Émile Verhaeren, Hippolyte Fierens-Gevaert, and, slightly later, Johan Huizinga published pioneering investigations into the world of Van Eyck, Memling, and Rubens, a similar retrospective spirit animated the artistic imagination. Painters from Henri Leys to Fernand Khnopff and writers from Charles De Coster to Maurice Maeterlinck embraced northern precedents as a key source of inspiration for works that were at once contemporary and rooted in a rich regional heritage.
This panel aims to explore the interplay between the visual arts and the nascent field of art history in Belgium and the Netherlands. It seeks twenty-minute papers which address how artists, critics, historians, and others working in the Low Countries and abroad developed diverse perspectives on their past that continue to shape our understanding of the subject. Papers addressing specific instances of revivalism and historicism are welcome, as are broader studies of historiographical and literary trends, which offer insight into how one era may mediate and even define our vision of another.
To submit a proposal for consideration, please send a 250 word abstract, a 100 word bio, and a 1-2 page CV to rediscoveryhna@gmail.com by June 1, 2017. Papers must be based on ongoing research and unpublished. Participants must be HNA members at the time of the conference.
