... and Colour, a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

I wish I had noted the title for this work of Heinz Mack. Sakıp Sabancı Museum’s website says the following about the artist’s works:

“Regarding light as an infinite source of life and pursuing it with unshaken determination has been both a personal approach and an influential artistic strategy for the pioneering artist of German modernism, Heinz Mack. After spending the years of his youth amidst the cold desolation left by the Second World War in Germany, Mack shaped his art around light, which throughout history and geographies has been the harbinger of a new day and opportunities yet unexplored. Like an avid explorer, Mack has tirelessly sought light and all the colours it reflects, through works covering a broad spectrum that encompasses paintings, sculptures, installations and reliefs.“

... ve Renk

Keşke Heinz Mack’ın bu eserinin adına dikkat etseydim. Sakıp Sabancı Müzesi'nin web sitesi sanatçının eserleri hakkında şunları söylüyor:

“Alman modernizminin öncü sanatçısı Heinz Mack için ışığı sonsuz bir yaşam kaynağı olarak kabul ederek sarsılmaz bir kararlılıkla izini sürmek hem kişisel bir tutum, hem de etkin bir sanatsal strateji niteliği taşır. Gençlik yılları II. Dünya Savaşı’nın geride bıraktığı soğuk yıkıntıların arasında, Almanya’da geçen Mack, sanatsal üretimini tarih boyunca her coğrafyada yeni bir günün ve keşfedilmemiş imkânların habercisi olan ışık etrafında şekillendirir. Mack, ışık ve yansıttığı tüm renkleri resim, heykel, enstalasyon ve rölyefleri de kapsayan geniş üretim yelpazesinde bir kaşif tutumuyla, yorulmadan takip eder.“

Hello Murat,
nice the art work for the artist but seeing as a photo is very flat..I like its placement in the frame with the same colour to decrease something for its beauty.

Regards,Danos

Hello Murat,
This seems to me a very attractive exhibition of Heinz Mack.
He is best known for his contributions to op art, light art and kinetic art. He was also one of the founders of the Zero movement in 1957. Last year there was an exhibition of the Zero movement in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. I saw a few of his works there.
Groet Rob

Hi Murat
Good simple capture and a very sensible way to take in an exhibition with its vibrant red piercing deep through your heart! Nice capture, Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Murat,
the artwork and the concept that led to its creation are interesting, the red colour in your picture seems to have supernatural power, it definitely dominates the frame with its intensity and seems to be about to absorb the installation. It almost hypnotizes the viewer too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania
