La peinture : art intemporel…

Un des sept arts, la peinture fait penser de facto aux tableaux exposés dans les plus prestigieux musées, à l’instar de la Joconde de Léonard de Vinci. Or, elle est une forme d’art intemporelle qui a su remarquablement traverser les époques, aussi bien avant Jésus-Christ que la Préhistoire, l’Antiquité, le Moyen-Âge ou la Renaissance. Si être peintre n’avait rien de gratifiant, aujourd’hui sa démocratisation a fait des petits peintres de l’ombre des artistesprotagonistes de la société. Peinture à l’huile, acrylique, aquarelle, pastelle ou technique mixte, la peinture subjugue sous toutes ses formes.

Description

Asbjorn Lonvig's words: "Arne Jacobsen's Tower" is inspired by the Aarhus City Hall Tower. The City Hall is the city hall of Aarhus, Denmark. It was inaugurated 2 June 1941, and it was drawn by architects Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller. It was deemed too modern and too anti-monumental. On the first proposal the plans did not include a tower. Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller meant that towers were the power symbols of church, king and nobility and did not belong on a building that was to serve democracy. However, citizens of Aarhus protested, they wanted a building that looked like a town hall. After heated debate, the City Council demanded a tower, and that the building should be covered with marble in order to add a more monumental character. But it was the last town hall tower that was erected in Denmark. The tower is 60 meters tall and the tower clock face has a diameter of 7 meters. The building is made of concrete plated with 6,000 m² of marble from Porsgrunn in Norway. Arne Jacobsen is he who created the Ant Chair in 1951 - it was for an extension of the Novo pharmaceutical factory. In 1955 he created the Seven Series. This Series became one of the most popular chairs of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Both matched modern needs perfectly, being light, compact and easily stackable. Two other successful chair designs, the Egg and the Swan, were created for the SAS Royal Hotel in 1957.
