NEW ONLINE EXHIBITION PROGRAM

ALBRECHT SCHNIDER: LANDSCAPES

Marc Jancou Contemporary is pleased to announce our new Online Exhibitions Program.

The current situation leads us to find new ways to share our love for art with our worldwide community.
Every week, we will be exhibiting works by artists we support, inviting you to contemplate some carefully selected works from the comfort of your home.

With a feeling of serenity, love and compassion, we present you with a series of selected Landscapes, by Albrecht Schnider.

Albrecht Schnider: Landscape X, 2011/12, oil on canvas, [removed] x 33cm

Landscapes

Albrecht Schnider

Albrecht Schnider’s landscapes are small. Little pictures, often measuring [removed] by 33 cm. Schnider has never painted a big picture devoted exclusively to the landscape. The truly vast dimension (mentally) is here played out in the smallest of spaces. The eye could spend forever tracing the up and down of the lines in his wonderful compositions. These icons in the horizontal format are postmodern votive images. To pray to. But they firmly – transparently – defy spiritual interpretation, for they show what is humanly possible. Nothing less. But nothing more either.
