Their polished concrete facades evoke the designs of Tadao Ando with wood paneling flat roofs covered in grass suggest the influence of California modernism The buildings feature floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the water “The Lake Geneva area is a very privileged part of Switzerland,” said Pont12 architect and partner Florentine Neeff “Building a new project on a still virgin plot is a personal dream for a lot of architects Creating space for artists is the next most-dreamed occasion.” Swiss furniture company Vitra outfitted the minimalist live-work spaces that artists occupy Each one has sleek rolling chairs and work tables The company can change out furniture based on feedback from residents “Vitra turns the place into an experimental showroom,” said La Becque director Luc Meier When Meier came on board in 2018 to direct La Becque’s programming he proposed the residency’s focus on nature and technology Since artists offer “alternate views on living,” he hoped that participants might reconsider “how we live out our relationship with nature.” Such concerns are particularly salient now as we fret about global warming and how much time humans have left on the planet “Art is how we understand nature,” Meier added nodding to the power of painters and photographers who introduce us to new places before we experience them firsthand and white and tangerine–colored flowers brush up against the low flat buildings that stagger alongside a central gravel walkway The structures’ grass-covered roofs further blend the architecture into the verdant surroundings a short stone wall runs beside Lake Geneva; when the weather warms La Becque maintains a graveled expanse that hosts parties it was one of the largest still-unbuilt plots of land on Lake Geneva Site of the forthcoming recreation of Derek Jarman’s garden Jarman was a prominent queer rights activist who famously launched Tilda Swinton’s acting career While the setting looks placid and picturesque to the modern-day traveler “The Swiss really had to be told to look at [nature] as something beautiful,” Meier explained sitting on the terrace of the residency’s welcome building The mountains were perilous with unpredictable weather and posed the threat of getting lost Throughout the 1800s, a British travelling craze brought tourism to Switzerland with an appreciation of its natural beauty the region has beckoned creative people including Fyodor Dostoevsky who set the opening of his 1878 novel Daisy Miller in the city He wrote of the “remarkably blue lake—a lake that it behooves every tourist to visit.” The residency’s land once belonged to another artist She was born in 1914 to a wealthy Swiss family; her father ran a factory in Monthey Switzerland for what became the CIBA chemical company She inherited the waterfront property as a young woman and spent summers living in the rustic cabin that still stands down by the lake she established a foundation and designated her property as a future hub for artists the foundation had begun erecting the studios and temporary homes that now dot the property they housed residents that ranged from a toddler to a woman just over 50 years old Down by the old cabin, curator Elise Lammer was planting a garden that pays homage to the coastal garden that filmmaker Derek Jarman created at his home in Kent The site will host performances throughout the fall La Becque Director Luc Meier stands by the edge of La Becque but it wasn’t yet warm enough for swimming the only structure on the property was a small rustic cabin where previous landowner Françoise Siegfried-Meier used to vacation The residency supports eight projects at a time, executed by either individuals or collaborative groups.

nineteenth century was a very important historical moment for Europe: starting with the revolutionary uprisings of 1848 the realist movement consolidated around 1850 and prevailed until 1870-80: it had its most coherent formulation in France It was a new artistic current in response to a more conservative academic-style classicism.Realism intended to tell the truth of its time deliberately unpolished representation of everyday life Courbet was the most important interpreter of this movement: drawing his subjects from everyday reality he recounted contemporaneity with great awareness committed to objectively recounting everyday life and denouncing the injustices of simpler city life In his late activity he also devoted himself to landscape painting as if anticipating the Impressionist experiences that would be formed a few years later But the paintings for which he is remembered as the greatest exponent of the new realist movement are those in which he inserted the most common subjects replacing the idealized characters dear to classicism peasants: Courbet expresses their labors and publicly condemns the circumstances of the period in which they live is great not only as a witness to an intense historical moment for Europe meaningful narrative that had the power to stimulate a response in the public A living art that acted alongside workers and revolutionaries Courbet’s ideas increasingly took on a well-defined political physiognomy which led him to side with the proletariat the political experiences concentrated in the final stages of his life led him toward exile: accused of collaborationism with the revolutionary government The eloquence of his art was still very effective and later contributed to the formation of the great names of Impressionism and the painters still to follow Gustave Courbet was undoubtedly a pioneer of the radical change in values that realism provoked around the middle of the nineteenth century This role was acknowledged to him by Guillaume Apollinaire in 1912 when in his meditations around the Cubist painters he unreservedly proclaimed that “Courbet is the father of the new painters”; and it is a paternity that is still easy to recognize in front of his works today in the eastern region of Franche-Comté growing up among his beloved sisters and surrounded by beautiful landscapes that helped create in him a keen sensitivity to nature His education was uneventful: in 1837 he moved to Besançon where he began his first pictorial studies and looked in all likelihood to the earlier Romantic masters The French capital soon exerted an attraction on him He moved to Paris in 1840 and here frequented many intellectuals becoming friends with the poet Charles Baudelaire and the critic Jules Champfleury He also openly supported the anarchist philosopher Pierre Joseph Proudhon He was a frequent visitor to beerhouses and taverns especially the famous Andler brasserie in Paris where the painter met with friends and those intellectuals together with whom he would later give a more consistent structure to the emerging realism As one of his earliest works,Self-Portrait with a Pipe (1847) avoiding fitting into the French academic context which was too narrow for him and certainly far removed from the reality he felt he wanted to represent Courbet cannot be said to have had a real master: he learned to paint by observing reality up close frequenting the halls of the Louvre where he copied Caravaggio studied the Venetians and the Dutch of the seventeenth century and was inspired by the Spaniards Velazquez and Murillo Life in the French capital was very stimulating for a man like Courbet: it was a time of strong growth fostered moreover by new discoveries and inventions The uprisings of 1848 marked the beginning of a revolutionary wave that subverted the political order of Europe At such a dense and highly tense moment in history Courbet was struck by the ideals of ’48 but had not yet developed a full he did not actively participate in the demonstrations but remained more on the sidelines He would become more active very few years later in a way that was more congenial to him: after all the uprisings of ’48 had shaken other registers as well including the one governing the relationship between society and artistic research The horizons of the capital helped expand Courbet’s vision but he always remained very attached to Ornans He continued to seek financial support from his parents even though he had begun his painting activities some time ago; the anti-academic sentiments that characterized his production caused him serious difficulties in the Parisian artistic milieu and the economic negotiations he carried out were initially poor Thanks to family support he was able to travel: in the fall of 1847 he went to Holland and then to Belgium places where he had the opportunity to deepen his interest related to Flemish painting Courbet was unable to fit into a social dimension that could recognize him as an established artist He sent a few works to the Parisian Salons continuing to be rejected because of the unconventionality of his work; it was not until 1844 with Self-Portrait with Black Dog that he managed to gain a first entry to the Salon but he continued to be rejected thereafter with the fall of Louis Philippe and the proclamation of the Second French Republic the jury was suppressed and his After Dinner at Ornans (1849) exhibited with praise then purchased by the French state at the hands of Charles Blanc Courbet returned to Ornans and painted the three large canvases that really form the basis of the realist experience and configure him as its father and The Peasants of Flagey Returning from a Fair were exhibited at the Salons of 1850 and 1852 With these works Courbet proved that he had matured thoughts of participation in certain political ideas that pointed to a more democratic reformulation of values These are productions that upset the art scene especially because for the first time an artist chose large formats and no longer the prestigious genres or idealized characters In 1854 he began work on thePainter’s Atelier in preparation for the 1855 Universal Exhibition The painting was the manifesto of his poetics but because of its large size it was rejected by the Salon by setting up the “Pavilion of Realism,” as he decided to call the exhibition he built on Avenue Montaigne a few steps away from the Exposition dedicated to the Fine Arts in open defiance of the Academy and pre-established traditions Here Courbet exhibited all the most important works he executed after 1848 Between 1865 and 1869 Courbet spent summers in Normandy where he cultivated his interest in landscape painting seeking to immortalize the violent fury of the sea an experience that resulted in the famous Waves series With the defeat of the French army at Sedan at the hands of the Prussians and the fall of Napoleon III the Third Republic was established in France Courbet threw himself into the political arena: president of the Federation of Artists and in charge of the protection of works of art he was then elected to the Council of the Commune a socialist-anarchist government that led Paris from March 18 to May 28 After his speech in favor ofpulling down the Vendôme Column-celebrating Napoleon Bonaparte’s victory at Austerlitz (1805)-he was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison which is why he chose the path of exile in La Tour-de-Peilz Although he was very comfortable in this country he intended to return to his homeland as soon as the waters calmed down But the painter-and more importantly the man-was caught in an unstoppable process of decay but his output suffered as a result of his suffering and frustration Gustave Courbet’s earliest pictorial activity dates from the 1940s and consists of still timid executions aimed at respecting the models of the earlier Romantic masters Eugène Delacroix and Théodore Géricault the production is essentially portraiture: several times the painter drew and depicted his sister Juliette portrayed his friend Baudelaire in the spontaneous act of writing Courbet himself lent himself as a model: in his Self-Portrait with a Pipe he presents himself as an artist his gaze lost in the void but retaining a certain sensuality and conviction the painter appears inSelf-Portrait with the Black Dog (1842) which he managed to exhibit in Paris in 1844 Because of the informal poses of his subjects and theordinariness of his representations Courbet’s works were punctually rejected by the jury of the Salons Just after the outbreak of the revolutionary uprisings in 1849 Courbet painted After Dinner at Ornans a canvas that constitutes his first profession of realist faith the painter depicted his father Régis in a situation that had nothing picturesque or anecdotal about it but proposed thesimplicity of a petty bourgeois setting isolated an instant of everyday life with a photographic gaze It was the first work to be accepted and exhibited at a Salon: it provoked harsh criticism primarily because of the character presented from behind The work is dense with references to antiquity: the light coming from the right reveals Caravaggio’s study in The Calling of St Rembrandt and Velazquez are also seen among the sources the revolutionary uprisings greatly shook Courbet who from that moment formed a rather conscious political idea a message that his paintings would somehow convey to a diverse audience the painter drew on his own figurative sources from the great classical masters as well as from more widely recognized models The result was a personal and extremely sincere painting in the full service of truth It is here that realism can be said to have come to have a truly structured physiognomy one that responded to the motto faut être de son temps from which derived the need to adhere to and convey the objectivity of contemporaneity Courbet’s works were socially incendiary: the representations of lower class life were terribly immediate and concrete far removed from the idealizations pursued by the Academy devoid of the pleasant picturesque taste and oblivious of the “small format” cherished by the French of the Salons one can do so not so much of Courbet before ’48 but certainly in relation to the paintings the painter executed from 1849 to 1855 To 1849 date The Stone Breakers: the work offers a clear example of the artist’s conceptions the distribution of masses shifts all to the right The intention here is to denounce the inhuman toil of the two workers This oil on canvas was unfortunately destroyed in Dresden during World War II but it was the starting point of the whole movement that spread across Europe containing an implicit indictment of the most execrable effects of capitalism Between 1849 and 1850 Courbet painted Funeral at Ornans: it scandalized critics first and foremost because of its large size (316per 668 cm) In this work the artist reread Rembrandt’s lesson on light The work describes the first burial in the new cemetery in Ornans The deceased is an ordinary peasant and those present at the burial are all portrayed life-size and from life the viewer is fully called upon to participate since he stands in front of the burial pit involving everyone and giving everyone the same dignity of reproduction It was with the same popular and familiar spirit that Courbet painted The Peasants of Flagey returning from the fair It was a painting of reportage and concreteness focused on thehic et nunc of the event The culmination of realist investigation would be accomplished in 1855 when Courbet executed ThePainter’s Atelier At the center is his self-portrait intent on painting the nude figure of the woman as an allegory of Painting figures representing social categories and institutions (a poacher bears the likeness of Napoleon III) this painting repurposed at the Pavilion of Realism is the essence of Courbet’s art in a snapshot of the world he experienced on a daily basis the painter took a path guided by his relationship with nature and eros: from Ladies by the Seine in 1856 to the more bluntly anatomical contemplation of female nature with theOrigin of the World In this last work Courbet abandoned any kind of filter and let himself be carried away by all the audacity of which he was capable The artist closed his career by devoting himself to landscape painting is a painting that pays homage to the immensity and imperious force of nature of color: it was executed with the use of the palette knife and through the force of the painterly gesture has the same gravity as rock: shapes and volumes make the blows of these waves more violent fully restoring the concreteness of the marine scene The Poachers of 1867 and La vague of 1871 are both kept at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome Gustave Courbet’s most important works are in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay: The Funeral at Ornans and ThePainter’s Atelier but also TheOrigin of the World and The Trout from the very last period (1872) At the Petit Palais isSelf-Portrait with Dog (1842) and Maidens on the Bank of the Seine (1857) Also in France are the above paintings: in Montpellier the Musée Fabre presentsSelf-Portrait with Pipe but also Bathers of 1853 andMeeting of 1854; in Lille is preserved After Dinner at Ornans at Palais des Beaux-Arts; at the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d’Archéologie in
