After a lengthy process of curato- rial research, legal advice, and analysis by our conservators, last summer the museum acquired a Classical bronze known from an account by the Roman author Pliny the Elder as the Apollo Sauroktonos, or Apollo the Lizard-Slayer. With the positive vote of our trustees the piece was ac- quired and installed immediately in the interior garden court. It is our belief that this bronze closely reflects the qualities of a towering figure in the history of art, the Athenian sculptor Praxiteles, one of the most ac- claimed Greek artists of the Classical period. In the mid fourth century BC he perfected a naturalism that, compared to the more idealized sculptures of the fifth century BC, made his representations of gods, goddesses, and mythological characters seem less distant and grand, and more intimate and human in scale. In addition to ancient representations on coins and gemstones, there are later Roman copies of this Lizard-Slayer composition in marble. If the Cleveland Apollo is actually Greek and close to the production of Praxiteles, it would be the only surviving life-size bronze closely related to the sculptor. For the present we are proud to have this extraordinary work that is the subject of research by a number of scholars Scale models at the offices of Collins Gordon Bostwick, a local partner firm in the expansion and renovation project, allow curators to work out gallery instal- lations in the future renovated and new galleries. 6 In the weeks after Apollo Sauroktonos was acquired thanks to the knowledgeable eye of Michael Bennett, curator of Greek and Roman art, Bennett spent hours each day in the interior garden court speaking with visitors about the sculpture. of ancient art, and we look forward to hearing their opinions. Aside from its extraordinary art-historical implications and remarkable presence, the sculpture is simply gorgeous! The museum also helped shape a singularly important and lovely exhibition, Dukes & Angels: Art from the Court of Burgundy, 1364–1419, a fruitful collaboration between our museum and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon, France. The long interest and singular strength of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s holdings in this area is both a hallmark and a focus of special study at the museum. The dukes of Burgundy, who flourished from the 1360s into the third decade of the 15th century, commanded vast financial resources, achieved through strategic marriages and alliances, and their collective reigns chronicle the rise and fall of one of the most sophis- ticated courts of Europe. They attracted the greatest artists of their time, who created works of the highest aesthetic refinement—tapestries, illumi- nated manuscripts, panel paintings, gold and silver objects and jewels, ivories, and, of course, sculpture. The exhibition, which was seen only in Dijon and Cleveland, brought many such works together for the first time since the era of their creation. Our own curator of medieval art, Stephen Fliegel, inspired initially by the desire to reunite Cleveland’s four tomb mourner sculptures with their counterparts in Dijon, worked for half a decade with his French colleagues and others to bring this idea to fruition.

  • The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937
    “First Surrealists Were Cavemen”: The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937 Elke Seibert How electrifying it must be to discover a world of new, hitherto unseen pictures! Schol- ars and artists have described their awe at encountering the extraordinary paintings of Altamira and Lascaux in rich prose, instilling in us the desire to hunt for other such discoveries.1 But how does art affect art and how does one work of art influence another? In the following, I will argue for a causal relationship between the 1937 exhibition Prehis- toric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa shown at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the new artistic directions evident in the work of certain New York artists immediately thereafter.2 The title for one review of this exhibition, “First Surrealists Were Cavemen,” expressed the unsettling, alien, mysterious, and provocative quality of these prehistoric paintings waiting to be discovered by American audiences (fig. ).1 3 The title moreover illustrates the extent to which American art criticism continued to misunderstand sur- realist artists and used the term surrealism in a pejorative manner. This essay traces how the group known as the American Abstract Artists (AAA) appropriated prehistoric paintings in the late 1930s. The term employed in the discourse on archaic artists and artistic concepts prior to 1937 was primitivism, a term due not least to John Graham’s System and Dialectics of Art as well as his influential essay “Primitive Art and Picasso,” both published in 1937.4 Within this discourse the art of the Ice Age was conspicuous not only on account of the previously unimagined timespan it traversed but also because of the magical discovery of incipient human creativity.

Historia de mujeres es una exposición que reconoce la colaboración de las mujeres artistas mexicanas, quienes aportaron con sus particulares puntos de vista a la historia del arte nacional e internacional. Así, la exposición muestra tres generaciones de creadoras a lo largo del siglo XX: La primera generación son las artistas nacidas a principios del siglo que se distinguieron por un trabajo de gran calidad técnica, como Angelina Beloff, Tina Modotti, Frida Kahlo, Remedios Varo, etc. La segunda generación incluye a las que nacieron alrededor de los años 20 y 30, como Lilia Carrillo, Joy Laville, Helen Escobedo, Marta Palau y Ángela Gurría; ellas iniciaron una etapa de experimentación en las nuevas tendencias.

I was born in 1917. My mother was named Patty Pettway, my daddy was named Warren Pettway. They farmed. I was a little girl when my mother passed. My daddy remarried after my mother passed, and I had one of the hardest times you going to have. I started raising the little children, my brothers and sisters, and I had to go to the fields and work in the mud and water. And my stepmother was kind of really mean. I do the best I could. I came up hard. In the fields I was hoeing corn, picking cotton, pulling fodder.

  • La Tierra Prometida
    PRESENTACION La tierra prometida Cuando las últimas luces de la temporada navideña aún no se apagan, viene a mi mente una reflexión a propósito de una lectura bíblica muy conocida, la salida del pueblo hebreo de Egipto. Imaginando los preparativos del viaje, veo cómo todo se empacó cuidadosamente, con seguridad se habrán puesto ropas abrigadoras y resistentes y un calzado de las mismas características que garantizara cierta comodidad para dar inicio a unas jornadas inciertas, pero el aire también debió de estar lleno de algarabía, alegría y esperanzas. Guardando cierta distancia, y buscando algún paralelismo, es esta misma voz la que los constructores esperan nerviosamente para tomar sus bártulos y “ceñirse los lomos” – esta es un expresión muy utilizada en la cultura hebrea que significa estar prestos para iniciar el trabajo–. La maquinaria, los presupuestos y la necesidad de construcción de obra pesada están ahí, pero la anhelada señal de arranque no llega. Esperemos que en estas primeras semanas se dé la señal de avance y pronto podamos ver cómo las promesas de campaña se hacen realidad. Hacemos votos para que la construcción no tenga que vagar por el desierto cuarenta años antes de llegar a la tierra prometida de la actividad. Luis Martínez Argüello Presidente del IMCYC La escultura y la dimensión del concreto Por Enrique Chao EL concreto se integró a las nuevas formas que exigían los artistas, los constructores y los decoradores hace apenas unas cuantas décadas, aunque las obras de concreto realizadas por el escultor inglés Henry Moore, de las primeras en su género, datan de mediados de los años 20 del siglo pasado.

This dissertation uses depictions of mass transit as points of departure into contextual examinations of three artists who repeatedly used passengers as subjects: Reginald Marsh (1898–1954), Donald Freeman (1908–1978), and Walker Evans (1903–1975). I argue that travel imagery attests to mobility as a common experience—an aspect of American life that viewers would recognize. Through a close examination of representations of mobility, it becomes clear that the motif appealed to these artists because it was simultaneously common and complicated—implicitly moving but explicitly stationary.
