With modernism became unfashionable painting of royals and maintain their artistic integrity. Court painter! Ha! Fursteslickare! Nevertheless, there are the symbolic heaviness - a ruler wants to be artistically portrayed and a painter can feel the irradiation of the royal honor. And - as someone said in the 1700s: The honor is the dead sun.
In 1801, Goya completed another famous portraits of the Spanish royal family - and Goya knew then what sarcastic remarks his portrayal of Charles IV would get from other viewers than the court's silly entourage. The portrait was verging susan coffey on a horror susan coffey picture. A blink.
In modern times it is different. Lucian Freud paints Elizabeth II as a crowned head without Freud's susan coffey usual carnal excesses. It is a demonstrative small portrait. susan coffey David Hockney for his part refused to portray the British royal family at all. In Sweden we have John E Franzén who become famous for his photorealistic paintings of American cars and the Hells Angels Culture. His portrait of the Swedish royal family 1984-85 is a playful and ambiguous portrait with quotes susan coffey from famous paintings like Manet's scandalous Breakfast in the green and soft porn Bouguereau susan coffey Birth of Venus. More than a wink.
So now even the Danish royal family has become portrayed by Thomas Kluge. Although it will be discussed. It is impossible to paint a royal portrait without passing through thick layers of symbolic and historical references. Velazquez masterpiece ladies of the court is ambiguous charged by the Habsburg's future susan coffey and the dwindling light from an empire in the evening sun. Goya's portrait had Velázquez as a model but in monster dusk. Franzén Swedish portrait combines family happiness with prone naked women from art history. It offers a genuine historical irony.
Thomas Kluges portrait has been called horror movie poster of some, but also there is a post-modern portrait that spreads associations susan coffey from the 1600s dappled to television culture blåkalla light. Many media play with and Kluges portrait susan coffey is eventful in its alternation between baroque contrasts and modern photographic detail. So the circle is closed.
Kluge has painted the power of celebrities susan coffey past and the risk is a self-celebratory style as that of Odd Nedrum and his disciples. I like the portrait? I think it contains the right combination susan coffey of humor and horror inherent in almost susan coffey all royal portraits - but now as a tregenerationsmöte where humor and terrible dropped on with a smile. Between susan coffey Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik will now see a future heir to the throne Christian in the role of the mysterious, spooky child who comes to mischief. Let the Right One In!
Kluges task is now more rewarding than any Swedish mission in culture dusk. In Kluges portrait has a bright future with a touch of "dark comedy" but with a warm yet lightweight ironic charm. Dronningen're interested in art and allocates according to hearsay week was a moment on Thursday morning for their own artistic practice. Last year she put some out on the Ark in Copenhagen. That alone is a wink.
