サンパウロ美術館

サンパウロ

サンパウロ美術館 は、ブラジルのサンパウロにある、南半球屈指の美術館である。 サンパウロ美術館は、中世から現代に至る各時代の西洋美術の名品を数多く収蔵している。 アメリカ合衆国およびヨーロッパの美術館以外で、これほど質が高くまとまった西洋美術のコレクションを持つ美術館は他になく、そのために「奇跡の美術館」と称されている。 1947年に設立されたこの美術館は、正式名称をMuseu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand（サンパウロ・アシス・シャトーブリアン美術館）という。アシス・シャトーブリアン （1891－1968）はブラジルの新聞王と呼ばれた実業家で、彼の美術コレクションは第二次世界大戦前後のごく短い期間に集中的に形成された。ヨーロッパでは、戦前の不況や戦後の混乱の時代に美術品を手放すコレクターが多かったため、短期間に一流の作品を多く集めることができたといわれている。収蔵作品は、中世からルネサンス、バロック、ロココ、印象派、現代まで、地域的にはイタリア、フランス、オランダ、フランドル、スペイン、イギリスなど、各時代各地域の美術史が一通りたどれるような質・量のものが集められている。現在の建物は1969年に完成したもので、4本の柱によって支えられる高床式建築である。展示室は柱や仕切り壁のない広大な空間で、作品は壁に掛けるのではなく、強化ガラスに入れて展示されている。

Museu do Ipiranga

サンパウロ

The Museu Paulista of the University of São Paulo is a Brazilian history museum located near where Emperor Pedro I proclaimed the Brazilian independence on the banks of Ipiranga brook in the Southeast region of the city of São Paulo, then the "Caminho do Mar," or road to the seashore. It contains a huge collection of furniture, documents and historically relevant artwork, especially relating to the Brazilian Empire era.The most famous work of art in the collection is the 1888 painting Independência ou Morte by Pedro Américo. A few months after the Brazilian Declaration of Independence, people started to suggest a monument on the site where the declaration took place, although they were not sure about what sort of memorial construction to build. In 1884, Italian architect Tommaso Gaudenzio Bezzi, who was hired to develop the project, chose to build an eclectic-styled construction similar to the French Palace of Versailles with impressive and perfectly manicured gardens and fountain. The museum closed in August 2013 for extensive restoration and modernisation; it is due to re-open in 2022.

For its magnificence, beauty and for the importance of the collection, it represents a cultural institution of international significance. The complex of two buildings, installed in an area of 35 thousand square meters , it is a true example of architecture allied with art. The first building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1967, faithful to the style of the time, and conceived as an educational institute, which was opened in 1978.The museum features many of Niemeyer's signature elements: bold geometric forms, sculptural curved volumes placed prominently to contrast with rectangular volumes, sinuous ramps for pedestrians, large areas of white painted concrete, and areas with vivid murals or paintings. Though rooted in modern architecture since his involvement in the international style, Niemeyer's designs have much in common with postmodern architecture as well and this is as contemporary a building as the artwork it displays.
