The Arts Desk: An Art Review Or Two
Fisun Güner's art review on Tate Liverpool's exhibition on the works of Rene Magritte - a Belgian Surrealist - has made the headlines at The Arts Desk. Güner notes that it gives people the chance to discover more about the painter, whom she believes to be more interesting and layered than Dali.
Elsewhere, Howard Male watched Alan Yentob’s ‘Imagine: Iraq in Venice’ TV documentary on BBC Two. Male notes that it's the best in the series so far. This documentary follows six exiled Iraqi artists - who can now create work freely - to the Venice Biennale. After viewing, Male was left with just one burning question: where were all the female artists?
In terms of London galleries news, the V&A recently held its biennial Jameel Prize, which celebrates art that's been inspired by Islamic tradition. There were lots of pieces to interest Marina Vaizey. Although nothing was designed to shock, each artist managed to appropriate history to create a new piece of art that was fresh and original.
Across the other side of the world in Malaysia, Terry Friel took a look at Kuala Lumpur's Annexe Gallery, which dares to speak out against the country's suppression of artistic freedom via visual arts exhibitions, plays and discussions.
In tribute to painter Lucian Freud who died earlier this month, four writers at The Arts Desk reflect on their memories of the devoted figurative painter. Freud's early portraits blew Fisun Güner away, while Marina Vaizey remind us of his colourful personal life, which only added to his allure. Josh Spero explains how his admiration grew gradually during a retrospective in Venice, while Jasper Rees recalls interviewing playwright and novelist David Storey, whose memories as a student under Freud show him as a likeable, eccentric and rather intimidating character.
