Christian Rex van Minnen. Paralax, 2019 (artist’s portfolio).

Oil on linen: 122 x 182.9 cm. Christian Rex van Minnen (2017): “I find that in the Dutch Golden Age, where oil painting as a material reached its zenith. In terms of what oil paint can do, I think that is the height of its technical application. But I also see that period in history as the root of a lot of the world's problems, the sort of early celebration of the material and capitalism and the global economy. Everything that made that art market explode, allowing artists to be free to explore the material and subject matter was because of this explosion in the merchant class. That had a lot to do with slavery and the global marketplace, and colonization, so I have mixed emotions about it”.

El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos). Laocoön, ca. 1614 (National Gallery of Art, Washington).

Oil on canvas: 137.5 x 172.5 cm. El Greco’s sole painting of a mythological subject. The Laocoön statue (excavated in 1506) was rapidly depicted in prints and models, and became popular all over Europe. The statue triggered the paradox of admiring beauty while seeing people dying. El Greco’s interpretation has hardly any beauty. He is deliberately breaking away from the balance and harmony of Renaissance art.
