Post 4: Summary from a career-related article

Wise Virgen By Dürer

Hi people! Today I am going to write about an article of The Guardian. Its title is: “Courtauld's pedantry clouds Albrecht Dürer's visionary genius”. Jonathan Jones wrote it the Wednesday 16 october.
 That is about an exhibition by Courtauld Gallery in London of the artist Albrech Dürer. The name of this exhibition is “The Young Dürer: Drawing the Figure.” The critic and writer   J. Jones emphasizes about the negative aspects. That Gallery is one of more important of England, but it is too academic, so it is some snobbish and the renaissance artist doesn’t stand out. Albrech Dürer does important paintings like “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” or “Christ-like self-portrait”…the writer pretends that the readers think about his true importance. The gallery shows the painting when Dürer travels by art cities of Germany during four years…in other words the exhibition is to knowledgeable people is not to the public of Courtauld Gallery.The principal painting would be “A Wise Virgin”. The exhibition has less works of Dürer that of his influences, for example prints by Martin Schongauer, to the writer that influence was obvious. Besides, the gallery shows slides of the pictures of Dürer used in a lecture by Aby Warburg, to J. Jones the drawing of Orpheus is the only one thing remembers that the artist was renaissance. That is all, until the next post.
