O Gallery presents “A Selection of «Modern» works from the Laal Collection” in collaboration with Fereydoun Ave.
I have never thought of art in bits and pieces but a continuous whole. Yes there were major changes in western art which later effected the whole of art in recent times, like introduction of perspective, realism, the invention of the camera and the recognition of the subconscious by psychoanalysis and new medias. But even these are part and parcel of the general evolution of man and art. So for me, modern and contemporary are mother and her children.
This is why I refer to past exhibitions by experts in this field to give a fair overall concept of modern and contemporary.

Simplifications and classifications are necessary for critics, art historians and curators, so lines have to be drawn. But in art all lines are arbitrary and can be blurred or altered depending on the vision of the curator.
