Marian Effie Sulzberger was born in 1918 in Manhattan, the daughter of Arthur Hays Sulzberger and the former Iphigene Ochs, whose father, Adolph S. Ochs, purchased The New York Times in 1896. For 34 years, Marian worked as a Director of The Times, where her grandfather, father, husband, brother, nephew and grand-nephew served as successive publishers. Her work at the newspaper focused on educational projects. A civic leader and philanthropist, Marian championed outdoor community spaces across the city. In 1970, Marian joined forces with New York City Mayor, John Lindsay, to establish the Council on the Environment, which created community-run parks, playgrounds and gardens, organized farmers markets, introduced environmental education in schools and pioneered wastepaper recycling programs. She was instrumental in the 1972 campaign to create the Gateway National Recreation Area, a 26,000-acre park The New York Times The New York with scattered beaches and wildlife refuges around the entrance to the New York-New Jersey harbor.

SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.

  • CABANEL ALEXANDRE (Francia) Nato Montpellier, 28 Settembre 1823
    CABANEL ALEXANDRE (Francia) Nato Montpellier, 28 settembre 1823. Morto a Parigi, 23 gennaio 1889. Allievo di François-Édouard Picot all'École des Beaux-Arts, ottenne il secondo Prix de Rome nel 1845, passando così cinque anni a Villa Medici a Roma. Ottenne grande fama con la Nascita di Venere, acquistata da Napoleone III nel 1863. Lo stesso anno fu nominato professore all'École des Beaux-Arts e membro dell'Académie des Beaux-Arts. Membro di giuria per 17 volte dal 1868 al 1888 del Salon, ne ricevette la medaglia d'onore nel 1865, 1867 e 1878. Fu pittore di storia, di genere e ritrattista: conteso dai collezionisti d'Europa e d'America, richiesto come ritrattista, fu nemico del Naturalismo e dell'Impressionismo, e fu attaccato da Émile Zola e da tutti coloro che difendevano la necessità di un'arte meno soave e più realista. Il collega Edouard Manet lo disprezzava. La tela Nascita di Venere gli valse grande notorietà e numerose committenze. Durante l’Ottocento al tema del nudo sdraiato si dedicarono pittori affermati come Renoir e Courbet, Ingres e Gauguin e Van Gogh. Molto ricercato come ritrattista, ebbe moltissimi allievi, fra cui alcuni raggiunsero la notorietà. FILATELIA BENIN Anno 2003, CENTRO AFRICANA REP.

  • Cézanne Portraits
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Introduction: The Reading of the Model JOHN ELDERFIELD La lecture du modèle, et sa réalization, est quelquefois très lent à venir pour l’artiste. Cézanne to Charles Camoin, 9 December 19041 Paul Cézanne was born in Aix-en-Provence on 19 January 1839, and died there aged sixty-seven on 23 October 1906. He made almost 1,000 paintings, of which around 160 are portraits.2 This publication accompanies the only exhibition exclusively devoted to these works since 1910, when Ambroise Vollard, who had been the artist’s dealer, showed twenty-four ‘Figures de Cézanne’. The present, much larger selection was chosen with the aims of providing a guide to the range and development of Cézanne’s portraits, the methods of their making, and the choice of their sitters. Also, more broadly, it is intended to raise the question of what the practice of portraiture meant for Cézanne when he was painting – or, as he said, reading and ‘realising’ – the model. Old Rules When Cézanne began painting portraits in the early 1860s, portraiture in France had long been acknowledged as a genre second in importance only to paintings of historical and mythological subjects. It was growing in popularity, and it would continue to do so during the period of Cézanne’s career: in the late 1880s, a National Portrait Gallery would be proposed for Paris, as well as a special gallery for portraits in the Louvre.3 It was during the 1860s and 1870s, however, that many ambitious painters found themselves enquiring what a portrait should aim to do.

  • Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging Her Hair Ca
    Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging her Hair ca. 1892, cast 1924 Bronze McNay Art Museum, Mary and Sylvan Lang Collection, 1975.61 In this bronze sculpture, Edgar Degas presents a nude woman, her body leaned forward and face obscured as she styles her hair. The composition of the figure is similar to those found in his paintings of women bathing. The artist displays a greater interest in the curves of the body and actions of the model than in capturing her personality or identity. More so than his posed representations of dancers, the nude served throughout Degas’ life as a subject for exploring new ideas and styles.

A leaf floats between the two, but all other elements, including the background, are abstracted beyond recognition. Léger created the painting later in his life when his interests shifted toward more figurative and simplified forms. He abandoned Cubism as well as Tubism, his iconic style that explored cylindrical forms and mechanization, though strong shapes and a similar color palette remained.

  • 1 Frederick Frieseke Cited in Clara T. Macchesney
    FREDERICK CARL FRIESEKE (1874-1939) Summer Afternoon Oil on canvas 26 x 32 inches Signed lower left Provenance Esther Rosenbaum, New York, 1951-2005 It is sunshine, flowers in sunshine, girls in sunshine, the nude in sunshine, which I have been principally interested in for eight years….1 One should never forget that seeing and producing an effect of nature is not a matter of intellect, but of feeling.2 Frederick Carl Frieseke was perhaps the most internationally celebrated Impressionist of his time. He was born in Owosso, Michigan in 1874 and went to Chicago to study at the Art Institute of Chicago and then to New York for lessons at the Art Students League. It was not before long that he followed the expatriate trail to France and enrolled at the Académie Julian under Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant. In Paris, he met Whistler, whose color harmonies the young artist quickly absorbed. Frieseke’s career was graced with countless honors. He won a Gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1913, a Gold medal in Munich in 1904, a Silver medal at the Corcoran Gallery in 1935, the Grand Prize at the Pan-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915, two Gold medals at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1920, and a Gold medal at the Philadelphia Art Club in 1922. Frieseke won notice in Italy as his work, Autumn was acquired by the Museo de Arte Moderna in Venice, and a 1 Frederick Frieseke cited in Clara T.
