Description
Through more than 200 works, the representation and pictorial meaning of the window in Western art since the Renaissance have been both a metaphor and an essential conceptual tool in Western painting.
A Window on the World seeks to thoroughly analyse the gradual changes which have occurred in the representation and pictorial meaning of the window, particularly in the course of the twentieth century. It explores the radical change in perspective whereby artists developed and offered us a "global vision", a formal perception freed from the need to imitate the objective world.
The catalogue is structured into four main sections: Historical introduction, Seeing through, Grids, From the Window to the Screen. These sections include specific analysis dedicated to artists who have chosen the window as the privileged means of their artistic research, or to recurrent themes such as the fascinating relationship between window and still life.
