As a participant of this celebration of art, La New Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition of the artist Santiago Idáñez, under the title "The Bear and the Oak". The special opening is framed in the "Madrid Gallery Weekend", developed between 10th and the 12th September, and will be open to the public until the 21st November, 2015.
Description of the project by La New Gallery.
"The World of Yesterday" is one of the most moving and honest testimonies about our recent past, it was written by Stefan Zweig's master hand, a Europe soaked in civilization and nostalgia for a world, his own, which rapidly disintegrated.
An exceptional witness to the changes that convulsed 20th century Europe between two world wars. Fundamental moments of his life, under personal circumstances of exceptional drama, developed parallel to the dismemberment of Central Europe that sort to be safer and freer, but was sheltered under madness and conflict. It's an inexcusable reference to understand the frenzy of a devastating century.
To the Europe that preceded the First World War and where he grew up, Stefan Zweig defined it as "the safety gold age", a time that was soon missed and swallowed for all that we already know.
"The Bear and the Oak" explores how the "The World of Yesterday" disappeared; this is Santiago Ydañez's second solo exhibition at La New Gallery. Images from this lost German paradise, racial and bucolic, that really shows the story of the civilization's defeat, and how culture succumbed to instincts.
