In the St. Petersburg art space mArs (Marsovo Pole, 3) on Tuesday, February 28, a meeting with art critic Alexander Korolev “Peter Brueghel the Elder – an artist of our time” will take place. The event will be held as part of the “Kvartirnik” project. The start is at 19:00.
Who is the artist of our time today? The most expensive one alive today? That contemporary, whose projects everyone knows, and whose works flicker in museums at exhibitions? Or the one whose art is more suitable for this time, reflects and explains it better? If so, then it is not necessary to get lost in doubts about modernity, but you can look into the history of art. Although Pieter Brueghel the Elder is a classic, and therefore suitable for all times, today his relevance is taking on a congenial character.
Brueghel lived in an era when the future of his country, like his art, was at stake. He was the one who tried to watch the crumbling world and looked for means to give an image to what he saw. Pieter Brueghel the Elder is an artist of our time.
Tickets for the event can be purchased on TimePad or at the box office before the event.
