Tying Art
Who's that painter who presented a painting done by tying a brush to a donkey's tail...?
I know there was once where a famous painter presented a painting which everyone thought was a great piece of art, then suddenly he revels that it was painted by a donkey with a brush tied to his tail. Who was he?
can someone tell me which year that happened and the simple summary of the whole event and it's effects? Thanks.
In the Belle Epoch, Roland Dorgeles, an habitué of the Lapin Agile and a bitter foe of the Cubists, wanting to take revenge for the pretentiousness that pervaded their exhibits, tied a paint-brush to a donkey's tail, placed a canvas with pots of paint behind it and, allowing it to swish colors at will, conjured up an abstract painting entitled Le Soleil se couche sur l'Adriatique (Sunset on the Adriatic).
The work was then exhibited at the 1910 competition of the Salon des Indépendants. "The public and the critics," Appignanesi writes "were divided as to the value of the painting, but their comments on it did not differ appreciably in kind from those directed at the work of Van Dongen, Matisse and Roualt, all of whom exhibited at the same Salon."
The painting was hailed by the majority of critics as a masterpiece. Dorgeles then dropped his bombshell into the local papers and the headlines read: "Donkey Heads Artistic School."
It was the kind of deflationary joke from which serious critics and pseudo-connoisseurs cannot easily recover, and it was par for the course in cabarets such as the Lapin Agile, Cabaret Voltaire or Le Boeuf Sur le Toit.
