David Hockney</a>’s discovery of the inexpensive drawing application called Brushes for iPhones and iPads opened up a different world for the English artist. Sometimes on a daily basis, during the past few years, <a target="_blank" href=https://www.mutualart.com/Exhibition/David-Hockney---Me-Draw-On-iPad-/"/Artist/David-Hockney/80BD8AA4259A2BFC">Hockney has created more than 400 drawings, first on his iPhone, and later on his iPad. Louisiana’s installation includes several hundred of the works displayed on 20 iTouches; 20 iPads; a triptych slide show directed by the artist especially for the Louisiana Museum and several projections. Viewers are also able to see some of the works as they were drawn from start to finish thanks to the animation playback feature of the Brushes app. The exhibition is presented in the Jorn room located in the west wing of the museum. During the course of showing at the Louisiana, Hockney will occasionally send new iPad drawings via email to the exhibition.<br>
Hockney began working with the iPhone in 2008, and his subsequent discovery of the Brushes application as well as other “apps” enabled him to produce works of extraordinary variety. Since that time, the artist has created hundreds of images, on both the iPhone and the iPad ranging in subject matter from flowers, plants, portraits and self-portraits to landscapes and still lives. Hockney in his early works in the medium used his thumbs and fingers to create full-color images directly on the device’s screen, modifying the color and hue and layering brushstrokes of various widths and opacities. Recently, the artist began to also use a stylus designed for the iPad. <br>
In 2001 the Louisiana presented a retrospective exhibition of Hockney’s work entitled <EM>David Hockney - Painting 1960-2000. In 2007 the Museum acquired the artist’s large-scale painting A Closer Grand Canyon</EM>, 1998 consisting of 60 smaller canvases joined together instead of <EM>one</EM> view, which soon became one of the Louisiana’s most treasured works in its collection. It is precisely this struggle for the gaze which is still going on and the connection between eye and hand that he is exploring in these new iPhone and iPad drawings. The world is right in front of us sensual and intimate as well as entirely overwhelming at the same time. <br>
Hockney loves looking and drawing and has said that his current work in all media has allowed him to see and feel nature much more clearly. He draws to see, and he calls it self-deception if we assume we have seen all the dimensions of nature. <br>

German artist Hans-Peter Feldmann</a> tells the story of a whole century, reflected in the faces of different individuals. As a representation of human aging, it also becomes a mirror for the viewer.</p><p>The series is one of the artist’s most important works, encapsulating the essence of his art. With warmth and humour, Feldmann’s art challenges the world around us, encouraging us to discover the poetry in the everyday.</p><p>Besides ‘100 Years’ Hans-Peter Feldmann is represented in the Louisiana Collection by a considerable number of his early artist books, the so-called ’Bilderhefte’ and by a selection of paintings, where he adds simple and subtle modifications to older paintings.</p><p>'100 Years' is a series of 101 black-white photographs portraying members of the artist’s family and social circle, ranging in age from 0 to 100 – from eight-week-old Felina to centenarian Maria Victoria. The portraits are displayed in chronological order alongside a bouquet of freshly cut flowers. Below each photo, the subject’s first name and age are noted. The work is created between 1998 and 2000.</p><p><br></p>" />

Jawlensky (1864-1941) was a late bloomer whose serial works left a lasting mark on art history. With over 60 works on loan from leading European museums and private collections, a new exhibition at <a target="_blank" href=https://www.mutualart.com/Exhibition/David-Hockney---Me-Draw-On-iPad-/"/Organization/Louisiana-Museum-of-Modern-Art/0DACA7363E924DD2">Louisiana Museum of Modern Art</a> takes a close look at the last 20 years of the artist’s working life. This period, Jawlensky devoted almost exclusively to painting the same subject over and over again: a face.</p><p>The face was an ideal subject for Jawlensky to express his spiritual thoughts. Over time it became almost completely abstract, culminating is his last series, his Meditations, when his hands were crippled by arthritis. These late works remain a singular and original contribution to art history.</p><p>The exhibition first looks at Jawlensky’s links to the Munich art scene in the early 20th century leading up to World War I. Jawlensky was in a relationship with the painter Marianne Werefkin and was a close friend of Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter. In the vibrant, highly stimulating milieu of Southern Germany, Werefkin and Jawlensky were at the heart of salon conversations and experiments in developing a new artistic expression.</p><p><br></p>" />

The Louisiana West Wing features works from the museum collection.

The viewer sees to thtat in open and engaging interaction with the art."</p><p><br></p>" />
