Angaben zum Objekt

Claude Vermette R.C.A. is a Canadian ceramicist and painter who was born in Montreal, Quebec, August 10, 1930 and who died in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, April 21, 2006. Artist of international reputation, he made important contributions to the ceramic arts in Canada As a ceramist who worked in the architecture field, Claude Vermette is a pioneer in Québec and in Canada with regards to this type of artistic expression. The bursts of colours of his wall size mural ceramics, the warmth of their hues and the play of their textures brought a human dimension in architectural spaces that were often grey and frigid. In his abstract paintings as well as in his prints and watercolours, Claude Vermette pursued this bold approach while constantly renewing and expanding the possibilities of colour and light. His work works with gradations of color field and shifting light. A native of Montreal, Quebec, Claude Vermette studied art under the guidance of Brother Jerome, c.s.c. at Notre-Dame College while also attending the Collège Saint-Laurent and the college of the Clercs de Saint-Viateur for his academic studies. Through his contact with Brother Jerome, he met Paul-Emile Borduas and joined the Automatiste group of emerging artists. They were influenced by Surrealism and its theory of automatism. Members included Marcel Barbeau, Roger Fauteux, Claude Gauvreau, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Gauvreau, Fernand Leduc, Jean-Paul Mousseau, Marcelle Ferron and Françoise Sullivan. He was considered too young by Borduas to sign the 1948 "Refus Global" (Global denial), but he was present at the launch of this manifesto, which was destined to become famous in Québec's contemporary history. Drawing, painting and ceramics were then his main modes of expression. His first exhibitions in 1948, 1950 and 1952 caused him to be noticed by art critics who praised his talent and perceived the promise a bright future. In 1952, his interest in ceramics expanded during a study tour in Europe and especially in Italy where he met the architect Gio Ponti, a major player in the rebirth of modern Italian design and founder of the magazine Domus and the sculptor-ceramist Fausto Melotti. Another decisive encounter is that of the Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto. Thereafter, Claude Vermette concentrated his efforts on architectural ceramics for which he created new forms of composition for the clay, a wider variety of modules for tiles and bricks, and new patented enamels. All these innovations resulted in much appreciation regarding the quality and sustainability of his ceramics, notably in the context of the Canadian climate and its gruelling winters. His bricks and tiles also earned him the 1962 first prize for industrial design. In 1953, the then 23 years old artist produced his first great work in ceramics: the huge background of the main altar and the whole ceiling of the new chapel of the Seminary of Chicoutimi. There followed a career of twenty-five years as ceramist characterized by close collaboration with architects and engineers, during which he produced large works in more than a hundred public buildings, including pavilions and buildings connected to the Montreal World's Fair in 1967, at Osaka in 1970, at the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal as well as in many schools, churches, courthouses (including those in Montreal, St-Hyacinthe and at Percé in the Gaspé Peninsula ), hospitals (including those of Notre-Dame and Marie-Enfant in Montréal, and Amos in Abitibi), universities (including that of Montréal, McGill, Laval and Sherbrooke), government buildings, airports (Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Mirabel and Molton), in more than a dozen Montreal subway stations (including Saint-Laurent, Peel, Berri-UQAM, Laurier) and other buildings, including those of General Motors in New York City, MacMillan Bloedel in Vancouver, Bell Canada in Toronto, Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, Texaco Canada and Quebecor to name a few more. He also created many works, such as ceramic fireplaces mantles and wall murals for private mansions. His works are also found in museums, including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Vermette authored numerous projects for the integration of art into architecture, notably at the 1967 World’s Fair in Montreal, the 1970 World’s Fair in Osaka and the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. His ceramic designs (murals, halls, parquet floors) can still be found in schools, churches, courthouses, hospitals, airports and office buildings (Montreal, Toronto, New York), as well as in a dozen Montreal subway stations, including Saint-Laurent, Peel, Berri-UQAM and Laurier. Vermette also explored printmaking, bronze sculptures, watercolor painting and oil painting over the course of his career. At the time of his death, he had just completed the designs for five outdoor murals at the Pavillon du Lac des Castors in Mount Royal Park. These were unveiled in January 2006. Claude Vermette also felt the need to pursue research that initially evolved into the creation of small-scale ceramic works where he experimented with new forms, textures and glazes and later also included engravings, sculptures and especially painting. He was further distinguished by mastery in engraving, taking advantage of relief materials that linked the play of light: evidenced by its white on white prints and art book Blanc-Seeing when it operates in its many variations, the latter accompanied by texts by the poet Eugene Cloutier. These prints have inspired the realization of small sculptures. The artist uses his experiences as game textures, reliefs and light of his prints into white concrete works, thereby making the building for the Caisse populaire Laurier in Ottawa a dozen bas-reliefs of white concrete, large and small dimensions, varying textures, thicknesses and relief printed to the material. Vermette was also interested in creating watercolor works of all sizes such as, among them, a giant mural of over 80 meters long at Bell Trinity Square Office in Toronto. Another book of art is born, Gestes de Liberté, this time in collaboration with the economist, André Raynauld. Art and science! This challenge of uniting the work of a painter and that of an economist is reflected in the execution of this book which includes an abstract watercolor where dominate color and movement and a series of nine articles on the theme of freedom. In the last thirty years of his life, Claude Vermette devoted most of his activity to painting. His works has been exhibited in Canada and abroad and is represented in the collections of public institutions, large corporations as well as private collections. At the time of his death, he had just finished replacing the five exterior aluminium enameled murals he had created for the walls of the Beaver Lake Pavilion on Mount-Royal in Montréal, which were initially made in ceramic in 1958 and were unfortunately victims of demolition. This historic pavilion was renovated by the City of Montreal and inaugurated in January 2006. To mark the quality of the achievement, the City was awarded the Orange Prize 2006 by the organization Sauvons Montreal in category Intervention heritage. He was the husband of the artist Mariette Rousseau-Vermette, tapestry weaver who, by the aesthetic and technical qualities of the tapestries and the impressive number of monumental works, has earned an international reputation. The couple who had two children lived in Ste-Adele. Both had a professional art career that spans over a period of sixty years.

Abstrakte Komposition ohne Titel, Abstraktes expressionistisches Ölgemälde
Von Jay Milder
Das Bild wird ungerahmt verkauft. Jay Milder (geb. 1934) ist ein amerikanischer Künstler und ein figurativer expressionistischer Maler der zweiten Generation der New York School. Alttestamentarische Themen wie die Jakobsleiter und die Arche Noah sowie der jüdische mystische Glaube der Kabbala sind wiederkehrende Themen in Milders Gemälden, die als archetypische Bilder dargestellt werden, die im grundlegenden Karma, der Beschaffenheit und den Bedürfnissen der menschlichen Natur wiederkehren. Milder wurde international ausgestellt und ist in den Sammlungen zahlreicher nationaler und internationaler Museen vertreten. In jüngster Zeit wurden ihm zwei Retrospektiven in Brasilien gewidmet: 2007 im Nationalmuseum Brasilia und 2006 im Museum für Moderne Kunst in Rio de Janeiro. In Sao Paulo, einem der wichtigsten internationalen Zentren für Street Art und Kunst im öffentlichen Raum, gilt er als wegweisender Einfluss für Graffiti-Künstler. Jay Milder wurde 1934 in Omaha, Nebraska, geboren. Seine Großeltern, die aus der Ukraine stammten, waren Nachkommen des chassidischen Mystikers Rabbi Nachman. Als er den Erzählungen seiner Familie lauschte, wuchs sein Interesse an Spiritismus und Mystik und wurde zu einem wichtigen Einfluss auf seine Lebens- und Kunstphilosophie. Später, als er nach New York kam, wurde er von der Theosophischen Gesellschaft und der Lehre von Helena Blavatsky...
