In the 1860s Courbet painted a series of snowscapes remarkable for their variegated paint handling and the contrast between ruddy browns and whites
The deer that appear in a number of these works signify the remoteness of the settings

pickle-hued hills and vineyards slope down toward Lake Geneva
A 15-minute walk past the global Nestlé headquarters
and you’ll arrive at the entry to La Becque
welcomed its first group of artist residents in early April
They range from an American artist channeling her spirituality into ceramics and paintings to a Berlin-based collective making music with data gathered from the night sky
The residency aims to support artists who engage with nature and technology in their work
residents take advantage of La Becque’s unique location—on the water’s edge with views of the Alps
and in close proximity to all the cultural amenities that Switzerland has to offer
La Becque provides a radical artist utopia in the middle of a wealthy region most famous for chocolate and banking
The walk from the La Tour-de-Peilz train station to La Becque; the terrace view from the residency’s welcome building; the wildflowers on the property
The residency’s artists live and work out of elegant, modern lodges and studios designed by Swiss architecture firm Pont12. 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. Jurors, who include Lammer and artist Latifa Echakhch
select the participants from a pool of open call applicants
were working on branding for Adidas—the company’s “identity system,” Donohoe said
and other moving images needed for various stores
As part of a La Becque partnership with École Cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL)
Paone taught a course at the art and design university
He’s also sharing his fonts with Swiss designers and asking for their feedback
“The type design scene in Switzerland is probably the best in the world,” he explained
Beyond the natural beauty of their new environment
Paone had become interested in the region’s viticulture
“He’s a huge wine freak at home,” Donohoe said
as Paone began singing the praises of the Chasselas grape
which is difficult to find outside Switzerland
is UNESCO-protected and filled with vineyards
a bacchanalian wine festival that occurs roughly every 20 years—this summer’s La Becque residents have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to participate
away from the water and towards four other studios
comprised of Juliane Götz and Sebastian Neitsch
Götz and Neitsch are conversant on outer space
“We’re trying to bring this unseen and hard to understand stuff into the gallery space,” Neitsch offered
Götz was excited to finally use the telescope
we don’t have science backgrounds,” she said
The residency gave her time to experiment and play with the new tool
Rashayla Marie Brown in her studio next to her work
Sister Rashayla Wears Her Mama’s Clothes (Theaster's Blunder) (2019)
The work references a quote from a 2019 interview between former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel and artist Theaster Gates in which Brown’s work was mentioned
The piece contains the Arabic script for “I am,” along with the names of Black women scholars (Zora Neale Hurston
Next to Götz and Neitsch, Chicago-based artist Rashayla Marie Brown was pursuing her multidisciplinary work
Brown said that her practice aims to “undo the epistemology of whiteness in the art historical canon,” and rethink which artists deserve celebration and remembrance
she burns and destroys artworks in an attempt to refuse their commodification; she reads a contract to her audience about the value of her work
implicating them in a performative lawsuit
then incorporates the footage into subsequent videos alongside found footage and clips from pop culture—excerpts from a Destiny’s Child video or an Art21 episode
Brown was interested in investigating the history of Louis Agassiz
a 19th-century Swiss biologist who studied the scientific basis of race
using photographs of slaves and their masters to investigate surface differences
Sparkly (the artist formerly known as Nora Berman) in her studio in front of large-scale paintings inspired by her meditations
in which she visualizes making love to herself
They include I am both (dark to light) (2019)
Next door to Brown, Sparkly, the artist formerly known as Nora Berman
said she was trying to connect with nature and tap into the energies of the landscape
Her spiritually focused work spans painting
she’d completed a seven-day water fast for the first time
and visualizes herself making love to herself
She surrounds herself with ceramic bowls attached to microphones and plays them like instruments
lying on the mat and “playing” one of the ceramics
where she made paintings that were part of a series tentatively called “Self-Love Paintings.” The large-scale works feature abstracted female forms
Sparkly explained that when she was in art school
occult and witchy people started reaching out to her
Spirituality was clearly trying to find her
“I found kundalini yoga.” At the end of her residency
she plans on staging a performance with a cast of collaborators—people with the type of energy she is interested in unlocking
artist Duy Hoàng was integrating La Becque’s landscape into his residency
The New York–based artist makes site-responsive installations
gathering plant life and objects from his surroundings
His studio resembled a natural history exhibit
and a pink wristband to small cardboard rectangles with delicate pins
A worn copy of French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre’s La Vie des Insectes (1910) rested nearby
while insect carcases had colonized their own section
By gathering and arranging objects from his environment
Hoàng hoped to gain a new perspective on the natural life in his temporary home—and offer new interpretations to anyone who enters his studio
and the relocation made him pay more attention to the environmental changes around him
His process now resembles detective work: gathering clues
then organizing them meticulously in his studio to learn about the world around him
Pont12’s design for the 80-square-meter live-work spaces feature smooth stone exteriors with wood detailing
then feeds them into Google translate’s character recognition function
The program “reads” the grass and flowers as Japanese or Chinese characters
but it’s striking how they come out,” he said
and Hoàng all work in the complex and have developed a sense of congeniality
When asked whether the residency gave her new opportunities to commune
“This is a pretty isolated place,” she said
she’d found the time and space to interact with the landscape
Götz and Neitsch were also thankful for the open
accepting environment that allowed them to participate as a couple and bring along their daughter—a rare opportunity among residencies
make La Becque feel more like a family affair
A view of Lake Geneva from the train window on the way to La Becque; Duy Hoàng makes a small forest in his studio from objects and plant life he finds on La Becque’s property; artists Rashayla Marie Brown and Juliane Götz talk outside their adjacent studios
a group gathered for coffee and cookies around a long table
Netherlandish artist Joan Heemskerk handed out posters advertising the virtual reality taxi rides she was organizing in Cologne
Sparkly brought a picture of a man she believed to be her in a past life
Neitsch and Hoàng left to catch the train back to Basel
where they were seeing friends and enjoying Art Basel–related festivities—and Hoàng had plans to visit the city’s Natural History Museum
He pulled a bodysuit covered in cosmic patterns out of his backpack
he’d leave behind the wild beauty and contemplative quiet of La Becque

an artistic movement to which he devoted his activity between 1848 and 1855
The second half of the 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 Besançon are Flagey’s Peasants Returning from the Fair
the Stone Breakers were in Dresden before the 1945 bombing
Still in Berlin’s Nationalgalerie today
