Editor's Notes

  • #5 Still recognisible and referring to reality
  • #9 Ernst, Max, vogels, the-world-map-makes-a-mockery, 1975 Escher, twee vogels, 1938 O'Keeffe, Georgia, een zwarte vogel met besneeuwde heuvels,
  • #10 Braque, georges, een vogel vliegt door een wolk, 1957 Marc, Franz, vogels, 1914 Magritte, de belofte, 1966 Klee, blue bird pumpkin, 1939
  • #11 Miro, Juan, vrouw met vogels bij zonsopgang, 1946 Brancusi, gouden vogel, 1919-1920
  • #13 WHY: steam-powered industrialization, and especially the development of railways
  • #14 If you wanted to make it as an artist, you had to be exhibited in the official Salon which was controlling the art world.
  • #15 The paintings were hung on the wall onto the ceiling To get the best stop: seen better by the audience In order to be seen in one of these exhibitions, your work had to be huge or hope you won't be skied (placed high above)  All the walls were packed from  the floor to the ceiling with paintings.
  • #17 Édouard Joseph Dantan, Un coin du Salon en 1880. Pour faire gagner de l'argent à l'Académie de peinture et de sculpture, les tableaux étaient exposés avec des numéros : il fallait acheter le livret pour connaître le nom des exposants. Sur ce tableau de Dantan, une visiteuse parcourt le livret ; au fond, la vendeuse dudit livret, assise à une table.
  • #18  In de schilderkunst was al sinds het Parijse Le Salon des Refusés uit 1863 een vernieuwing op gang gekomen met de impressionistendie een eigen 'salon' inrichtten omdat ze met hun werken geweigerd werden op het officiële Parijse salon. In de 20e eeuw vallen ook kunststromingen als expressionisme, dada, kubisme en surrealisme onder modernisme.
  • #19 1860-1900 En plein air Zintuiglijke indrukken Vluchtige effecten
