Frozen Motion
The Manuscript sketchbooks from the «Frozen Motion» series bring together paintings by great masters that best demonstrate the core idea: to show the dynamics of emotions and the surrounding world within the static boundaries of the canvas.
The collection includes four canvases that, while different in content, share a common essence—to convey the dynamism of the things around us using colours and forms: Richard Parkes Bonington’s “La Ferté” (1825), Paul Cézanne’s “The Avenue at the Jas de Bouffan” (1874), Wassily Kandinsky’s “Yellow-Red-Blue” (1925), and Mark Rothko’s “No. 5/No. 22” (1949).
From Bonington’s tide crashing against the shore and Cézanne’s wind-driven vegetation to Kandinsky’s captivating dynamics of colours and Rothko’s mysterious world of emotional experiences. All of them prove that to showcase the beauty of movement in the surrounding world, a video camera is unnecessary—mastery of painting is sufficient.
