M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

Les Grandes Orgues, 1951

Painting, 100 x 150 cm.

Collection: Collection Bank Delen / Filips de Ferm.

Bertrand (1910-1994) had by the end of the 1940s evolved from animist to near-abstract art, most often referring to architectural settings. Like the case here. The clear elegance and refinement of the division of surface, the equilibrium of the verticals, horizontals and diagonals, and the monumental pivot in miniature, black and red, reveal a great fascination for the symbolic power of the classical architectural order. The title Les Grandes Orgues refers to the sacred nature that art has for the artist, and to music as a related experience.
