    Schöpfer der Albträume

    Dem Albtraum ein Antlitz geben - die faszinierende Künstlerbiografie Johann Heinrich Füsslis Johann Heinrich Füssli (1741-1825) war einer der provokativsten und erfinderischsten Künstler des 18. Jahrhunderts. Am bekanntesten ist er für sein Gemälde 'Der Albtraum', mit dem er eine neue Form erschreckender gotischer Bilder für das romantische Zeitalter schuf. Füssli thematisiert in seinem Werk immer wieder die abgründige Welt der Träume und Visionen. Christopher Baker folgt Füsslis Lebensweg von Zürich nach Paris, Rom und schließlich London, wo er zu anhaltendem Ruhm gelangte. Dabei entsteht das Bild des Künstlers auf seinem Weg vom Priester zum Schriftsteller, als selbst ernanntes Genie und 'verrückte', unberechenbare Kraft in der Kunstwelt.

    Füssli et la puissance des rêves

    Onder de romantische kunstenaars van het Europa van het einde van de 18e eeuw is Johann Heinrich Füssli (1741-1825) een opmerkelijke figuur: geboren in Zürich, diep beïnvloed door zijn reis naar Rome, ontwikkelde hij uiteindelijk in Londen een oeuvre waarin literaire inspiratie en fantastische visioenen werden gecombineerd. Aan de hand van een zestigtal werken, waaronder schilderijen en tekeningen uit prestigieuze openbare en particuliere collecties in Frankrijk en daarbuiten, gaat de tentoonstelling in he

  8. Kasi Lemmons

    Kasi Lemmons

    Beginning with her critically acclaimed independent feature film Eve's Bayou (1997), writer-director Kasi Lemmons's mission has been to push the boundaries that exist in Hollywood. With Eve's Bayou, her first feature film, Lemmons (b. 1961) accomplished the rare feat of creating a film that was critically successful and one of the highest-grossing independent films of the year. Moreover, the cultural impact of Eve's Bayou endures, and in 2018 the film was added to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry as a culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant film. Lemmons's directing credits also include The Caveman's Valentine, Talk to Me, Black Nativity, and, most recently, Harriet, making Lemmons one of the most prolific and long-standing women directors in Hollywood. As a black woman filmmaker and a self-proclaimed black feminist, Lemmons breaks the mold of what is expected of a filmmaker in Hollywood. She began her career in Hollywood as an actor, with roles in numerous television series and high-profile films, including Spike Lee's School Daze and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award-winning The Silence of the Lambs. This volume collects fifteen interviews that illuminate Lemmons's distinctive ability to challenge social expectations through film and actualize stories that broaden expectations of cinematic black femaleness and maleness. The interviews reveal Lemmons's passion to create art through film, intimately linked to her mission to protest culturally and structurally imposed limitations and push the boundaries imposed by Hollywood.
