Wat zijn die Surrealistische Vrouwen Hot!

Een mannen en kunstverslindster met als gevolg een prachtige expo van surrealistische vrouwen en mannen in het Palazzo Infinito, het onaffe paleis, in Venetië. Het museum van de Peggy Guggenheim Collection. Geniet samen met Toos van Holstein in TOOS&ART.

Peggy Guggenheim op het boventerras haar palazzo aan het Canal Grande Peggy Guggenheim lustte er wel pap van. Van zowel mannen, zo ongeveer duizend volgens haar eigen zeggen, als van kunst, ook zo’n duizend schilderijen en beelden. Dat liep dus aardig gelijk op met elkaar. Maar daardoor liep ik vorige maand in Venetië wel over min of meer heilige kunstgrond. In het palazzo non finito, het niet…

Luisa Casati and mystery companion in the garden of Palazzo Venier dei Leoni - Luisa Casati, started to live in the famously unfinished palazzo in 1910.

Luisa was one of the wealthiest women in Italy, having inherited her father’s industrial fortune. As the wife of the Marchese Camillo Casati, she was allied to the highest ranks of Italian nobility. Yet after falling under the spell of the notorious writer and aesthete Gabriele D’Annunzio, Luisa had turned her back on conventional society and, with a passion that bordered on profound eccentricity, vowed to turn her life into a work of art.

Venice was to be her theatre, the romantically derelict Venier palazzo her stage. Luisa hired an army of workmen to transform the interior into a dazzle of marble, glass and gold, but she was determined to retain the building’s dirty, overgrown and crumbling exterior.

Further evidence of Luisa’s maverick taste was revealed in the menagerie of pets that she began to gather around her — parrots, monkeys, snakes and peacocks, plus a flock of albino blackbirds that she would dye different colours to suit her mood. Most beloved of these pets was the elegantly spotted cheetah that accompanied her everywhere.

Today the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice named after its last resident.

THE MARCHESA CASATI

Marchesa Luisa Casati: An inspiringly decadent true tale of a bizarre Italian aristocrat. Pet cheetahs, séances and dresses made from lightbulbs, the heiress, socialite and artist's muse Marchesa Luisa Casati led a life every bit as unusual as her outfits.

Luisa, Marchesa Casati Stampa di Soncino (born Luisa Adele Rosa Maria Amman; 23 January 1881 – 1 June 1957), was an Italian heiress, muse, and patroness of the arts in early 20th-century Europe.

Casati was known for her eccentricities that delighted European society for nearly three decades. The beautiful and extravagant hostess to the Ballets Russes was something of a legend among her contemporaries. She astonished society by parading with a pair of leashed cheetahs and wearing live snakes as jewellery.

She captivated artists and literary figures such as Robert de Montesquiou, Romain de Tirtoff (Erté), Jean Cocteau, and Cecil Beaton.[citation needed] She had a long-term affair with the author Gabriele d'Annunzio, who is said to have based on her the character of Isabella Inghirami in Forse che si forse che no (Maybe yes, maybe no) (1910).[citation needed] The character of La Casinelle, who appeared in two novels by Michel Georges-Michel, Dans la fete de Venise (1922) and Nouvelle Riviera (1924), was also inspired by her.

In 1910, Casati took up residence at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, on Grand Canal in Venice, owning it until circa 1924. In 1949, Peggy Guggenheim purchased the Palazzo from the heirs of Viscountess Castlerosse and made it her home for the following thirty years. Today it is the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a modern art museum on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice, Italy.

Casati's soirées there would become legendary. Casati collected a menagerie of exotic animals, and patronized fashion designers such as Fortuny and Poiret. From 1919 to 1920 she lived at Villa San Michele in Capri, the tenant of the unwilling Axel Munthe. Her time on the Italian island, tolerant home to a wide collection of artists, gay men, and lesbians in exile, was described by British author Compton Mackenzie in his diaries.

Numerous portraits were painted and sculpted by artists as various as Giovanni Boldini, Paolo Troubetzkoy, Adolph de Meyer, Romaine Brooks (with whom she had an affair), Kees van Dongen, and Man Ray; many of them she paid for, as a wish to "commission her own immortality".[citation needed][citation needed] She was muse to Italian Futurists such as F. T. Marinetti (who regarded her as a Futurist) Fortunato Depero, Giacomo Balla (who created the portrait-sculpture Marchesa Casati with Moving Eyes), and Umberto Boccioni. Augustus John's portrait of her is one of the most popular paintings at the Art Gallery of Ontario; Jack Kerouac wrote poems about it and Robert Fulford was impressed by it as a schoolboy.

Quote

Marchesa Luisa Casati spent recklessly and, beyond the sums she lavished on her wardrobe, she hosted parties of astounding extravagance. Many were held at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, but the one that entered Venetian folklore was the 18th-century costume ball for which Luisa took over the whole of Piazza San Marco, hiring 200 black servants, all dressed by Leon Bakst, to hold back the watching public.

Francis Bacon and Ahmed Yacoubi photographed in Tangier, Morocco in 1956 (photograph © The Estate of Francis Bacon).

Francis Bacon (1909-1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures.

Ahmed Yacoubi (1928–1985) was a Moroccan painter and storyteller. He was born in Fez, Morocco. Yacoubi met the American composer and writer Paul Bowles in Fez in 1947 and later in Tangier. Yacoubi then began doing translations for Bowles. Bowles and his wife, the novelist and playwright Jane Bowles, encouraged Yacoubi to draw and paint the characters in his own stories after seeing Yacoubi's illustrations of the translations he did for Bowles.

Paul Bowles introduced Yacoubi to the wealthy American heiress, art collector, bohemian and socialite Peggy Guggenheim during a visit in 1952 to his private island Taprobane off the southern coast of Sri Lanka. Peggy Guggenheim exhibited three of Yacoubi’s drawings in her Venice Palazzo Show and later purchased them for her private collection. The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an 18th-century palace on the Grand Canal in Venice, which was Peggy Guggenheim's home for three decades. It is now a museum displaying her private collection for the public and is one of the most visited sites in Venice.

"Peggy Guggenheim Collection Venezia"

Il Museo sul Canal Grande a Venezia, un Rifugio per l'Arte Contemporanea

Nascosto lungo il maestoso Canal Grande di Venezia, il Palazzo Venier dei Leoni accoglie uno dei tesori artistici più vibranti al mondo, la Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

Questo museo, che appartenente alla rinomata Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, è un monumento all'arte contemporanea e alla visione coraggiosa di una donna eccezionale.

Peggy Guggenheim, figura leggendaria nel mondo dell'arte moderna, fece del palazzo veneziano la sua dimora e, contemporaneamente, un rifugio per artisti in cerca di sostegno e riconoscimento.

Le sue passioni, i suoi incontri e le sue avventure culturali si riflettono nelle pareti di questo edificio storico.

Al suo interno, la collezione ospita una vasta gamma di opere d'arte, dalle sperimentazioni cubiste di Picasso alle forme surreali di Dalí, dalla maestria espressionista di Kandinsky alle visioni astratte di Pollock.

Ogni angolo di questo spazio museale rivela la diversità e la creatività dell'arte del XX secolo.

Nel cuore del cortile interno, una scritta al neon, "Se la forma scompare la sua radice è eterna", incarna lo spirito intramontabile dell'arte esposta qui. Questa frase, illuminando la natura mutevole delle forme artistiche, ricorda ai visitatori che l'essenza dell'arte trascende il tempo e le limitazioni fisiche.

Il museo non è solo una collezione di opere d'arte, ma anche un santuario per i pensieri e le emozioni che l'arte evoca.

I visitatori sono invitati a immergersi nelle profondità dell'espressione artistica, a confrontarsi con la sperimentazione e la diversità che definiscono la collezione.

La Peggy Guggenheim Collection a Venezia continua a incantare e ispirare, offrendo un'esperienza unica per chiunque cerchi di comprendere e abbracciare l'essenza intima dell'arte moderna in uno dei contesti più affascinanti del mondo.

Popular Exhibition halls to visit in Venice

Venice is a city renowned for its art, culture, and history. While it doesn't have a vast number of large exhibition halls like some other cities, it does offer several notable venues where you can experience art and exhibitions. As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, here are some popular exhibition halls to visit in Venice:

Palazzo Grassi: Owned by the French billionaire François Pinault, Palazzo Grassi is a historic palace that frequently hosts contemporary art exhibitions and installations. The palace itself is a work of art, and its exhibitions often feature cutting-edge contemporary artists.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection: This museum is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni on the Grand Canal and showcases the personal art collection of Peggy Guggenheim, an important figure in the modern art world. The collection includes works by prominent artists such as Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí.

Ca' Pesaro - International Gallery of Modern Art: This museum is dedicated to modern and contemporary art and is located in the Ca' Pesaro palace. It features a diverse collection of works by Italian and international artists from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale): While primarily known as a historical and architectural landmark, the Doge's Palace often hosts temporary exhibitions in addition to being a museum showcasing the history of Venice. It's worth checking the current exhibition schedule to see if any art or cultural exhibitions are taking place during your visit.

Scuola Grande di San Rocco: While not a traditional exhibition hall, the Scuola Grande di San Rocco is a confraternity building that houses a remarkable collection of paintings by Tintoretto. The building itself is a masterpiece, and the extensive Tintoretto collection provides insight into Venetian Renaissance art.

Fortuny Museum (Palazzo Fortuny): This museum is dedicated to the work of Mariano Fortuny, a versatile artist known for his contributions to various fields including painting, photography, and textile design. The museum often features thematic exhibitions showcasing Fortuny's work alongside contemporary artists.

Please note that exhibition schedules and offerings can change over time, so I recommend checking the official websites of these venues or consulting a recent travel guide to get the most up-to-date information about exhibitions, opening hours, and admission fees.
