With travel possibly opening up this summer and people off to visit museums and other attractions that have been shuttered for months, Bayview Entertainment will be profiling three famous artists on May 25 to get art fans warmed up for destination discoveries. Lined for DVD release are: Discovery of Art: Kurt Schwitters, Discovery of Art: Maxfield Parrish and Discovery of Art: Michelangelo.
First up, painter, sculptor and architect, plus his creative process also extended to poetry and stage plays, is German artist Kur Schwitters, who had double-lucky experience of fleeing the Nazis, not once, but twice — first to Norway before the war, where he was “repatriated” when Germany invaded Norway in 1940, he then fled on a Norwegian patrol boat to Scotland. He is noted for his “Merz” process.
The DVD from Bayview Entertainment highlights the exhibition of his works at the George Pompidou Museum.
Next up is American painter and illustrator, Maxfield Parrish, who specialized in landscapes … and became quite well known for his numerous magazine covers and illustrations that appeared in books between 1897 and 1910. The National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island has the largest collection of his work. Bayview’s DVD release of Discovery of Art: Maxfield Parrish gives you a real feel for the scope of Parrish’s work.
Finally, no trip to Europe — especially the Louvre Museum in Paris or the famed Sistine Chapel — would be complete without at least a glimpse of the works of Michelangelo. The DVD from Bayview, Discovery of Art: Michelangelo, gives the viewer a broad overview of his work … and really whets ones’ appetite for travel and viewing the works of these famous artists.
