Donald Duck wordt dit jaar zeventig. Reden voor het Cobra Museum om vanaf 24 april een grote tentoonstelling aan deze wereldberoemde eend te wijden, 'met een hoog gehalte aan kijkvermaak'.
Donald Duck als motief in de kunst is een ander belangrijk onderdeel van de expositie. Bekende kunstenaars (die niet voor Disney werkten) laten zich door Donald Duck inspireren. Zoals de in Finland erg beroemde kunstenaar Kaj Stenvall en de Oostenrijkse kunstenaar Gottfried Helnwein. Van hen worden meerdere kunstwerken getoond. ...

“People always say that you have to see Europe,” says writer Mercedes Helnwein, her red hair shining in the fading sunlight of a sweltering Los Angeles afternoon. “Well, it’s just as important to get out and see America.”
Helnwein lounges at a Los Feliz coffee shop with photographer Alex Prager and filmmaker Beth Riesgraf. The trio are recounting the two sweat-soaked weeks they spent last summer crammed in a Dodge Neon documenting life in the tiny towns that dot the swollen belly and aching heart of Middle America.
Helnwein was born in Vienna, the daughter of the celebrated artist Gottfried Helnwein. ...

Here are a few of my favorite explanations of art-making:
.
"Life is difficult, as perhaps everyone knows by now. It is to escape from these difficulties that I practice the pleasant profession of a painter."
Max Beckman
.
"I believe that the great masters, with their intellect as master, have attempted to force this unwilling medium of paint and canvas into a record of their emotions. I find any digression from this aim leads me to boredom."
Edward Hopper
.
"It is the function of the artist to evoke the experience of surprised recognition: to show the viewer what he knows but does not know that he knows. Helnwein is a master of surprised recognition."
William S. Burroughs, about Helnwein
.
"Although art is fundamentally everywhere and always the same, nevertheless two main human inclinations, diametrically opposed to each other, appear in its many and varied expressions. The first aims at representing reality objectively and the second subjectively."
Piet Mondrian ...
