Hertfordshire County Council plans to sell 'non-relevant' art A consultation on the proposed sale of artwork worth thousands of pounds owned by a local authority has begun. Hertfordshire County Council has 1,828 works, valued at £26.2m, and wants to get rid of 90% as they are at risk of deterioration. It plans to sell off or gift to museums more than 1,600 pieces that it says have little relevance to the county, and could raise £400,000. The money it raises will be used to conserve the remaining 167 piece which include four Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth sculptures, which alone are insured for £21.85m.

An Eavan [AY-ven] Boland poem named for one of these things says that “an ageing woman finds no shelter in language” and that “[one of these things] is not a woman.” One of these things titles a theatrical monologue by Olwen Fouéré [fwair-AY] which adapts passages from a novel. A character who personifies one of these things is the subject of a chapter which begins with the words “O tell me all about [that character]” in the shape of a triangle, and ends with a request for stories about her children Shaun and (*) Shem. The names of hundreds of these things are referenced in a chapter about the gossip of two washerwomen who turn into a tree and a stone when night falls. The word for these things is implied to follow the words “a way a lone a last a loved a long the.” Anna Livia Plurabelle’s middle name references one of these geographical features. For 10 points, Finnegans Wake opens by describing what type of geographical feature running “past Eve and Adam’s”?

    The World of Frida Exhibition Guide the World of Frida Reflects Frida Kahlo’S Passion and Pluck, and Demonstrates the Power, Scope and Weight of Her Work

    Exhibition Guide Orgainzed by: Walnut Creek | California | www.bedfordgallery.org Curatorial Statement The World of Frida celebrates the culture, style, and persona of visionary Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), an artist who continues to inspire with her story of love, loss and incredible bravery. Celebrated globally today as an iconic, renegade artist and outspoken feminist, Frida Kahlo’s life began perilously. Stricken with polio as a child, and later tragically injured in a bus accident at age 18 that left her permanently injured, Kahlo was subjected to an enormous amount of pain and turmoil early in her life. While recovering from the bus accident Kahlo returned to her childhood hobby – painting. Soothed by the solace of art making, it was during this period that Kahlo decided to become an artist. In 1927, Kahlo became politically active, joined the Mexican Communist Party and met the famous Mexican muralist, Diego Rivera. The two married a year later in 1928. Kahlo spent the 1920’s and 1930’s traveling the U.S. and Mexico with Rivera while he worked on commissions, still continuing to create work herself, but undoubtedly in his professional shadow. Their marriage was tumultuous into the 1930’s and they divorced in 1939. Kahlo continued to paint, and eventually had her first solo show in Mexico in 1953, shortly before her death in 1954. Following her death, Kahlo remained largely unrecognized until the late 1970s when art historians and political activists rediscovered her work. By the late 1990s, her work was considered a significant contribution to art history, and she became an icon to many – including the Chicano, feminist, and LGBTQ movements.

    Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo

    Re-thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo Regina F. Bartolone A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by: Dr. Martine Antle (advisor) Dr. Marsha Collins (reader) Dr. Maria DeGuzmán (reader) Dr. Dominque Fisher (reader) Dr. Diane Leonard (reader) Abstract Regina F.Bartolone Re-Thinking the Language of Pain in the Works of Marguerite Duras and Frida Kahlo (Under the direction of Dr. Martine Antle) This dissertation is a cross-cultural examination of the creation and the socio- cultural implications of the languages of pain in the works of French author, Marguerite Duras and Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo. Recent studies have determined that discursive communication is insufficient in expressing one’s pain. In particular, Elaine Scarry maintains that pain destroys language and that its victims must rely on the vocabulary of other cultural spheres in order to express their pain. The problem is that neither Scarry nor any other Western pain scholar can provide an alternative to discursive language to express pain. This study claims that both artists must work beyond their own cultural registers in order to give their pain a language. In the process of expressing their suffering, Duras and Kahlo subvert traditional literary and artistic conventions. Through challenging literary and artistic forms, they begin to re-think and ultimately re-define the way their readers and viewers understand feminine subjectivity, colonial and wartime occupation, personal tragedy, the female body, Christianity and Western hegemony.
  • Frida Kahlo: Dress and Identity

    Frida Kahlo: Dress and Identity

    Frida Kahlo: Dress and Identity ART HISTORY MEXICO Cultural Journeys Mexico | Colombia | Guatemala www.tiastephanietours.com | (734) 769 7839 Frida Kahlo: Dress and Identity ART HISTORY MEXICO Many aspects of Frida Kahlo have been studied, pondered and admired. From her art, politics, love life, travails, and many others. A singular aspect of Frida Kahlo and her identity was her dress. Frida used dress consciously in the creation of her identity. Through dress, she crafted her image, displaying her cultural heritage from both Europe and Mexico. Who can imagine Frida Kahlo without visioning her Tehuana dress, the dress and region she most often adorned herself in, particularly for photos. But there were many others, from her “tomicoton” of Hueyapan, Puebla, her beautiful rebozos from Central Mexico, her Mazatec dress from Oaxaca and more. On this journey, we’ll explore how Frida used dress in the creation of her identity, and we’ll travel to some of the regions and communities of Mexico to meet the artisans, who to this day continue the legacy of hand crafting ethnographic clothing, an intimate expression of cultural identity. Program Highlights • Explore the National Museum of Anthropology • See her most famous painting: The Two Fridas at the Museum of Modern Art • Travel to Coyoacan to see her childhood home, “The Blue House” and to walk the neighborhood, LOCATION she and Diego often strolled hand and hand together (and eating tacos and drinking tequila!) • Attend lecture on Frida Kahlo’s ethnographic dress • Attend a rebozo expo-venta to learn of the iconic garment of Mexico, Frida often wore.

That is not right. I never painted dreams. What I depicted, was my reality. (Frida Kahlo) This book zooms right into her reality, and it does so in a new and unusual way: presenting Frida Kahlo’s paintings in total view and in selected details, it reveals the wealth of stories and creatures hidden in her self-portraits; it makes tangible her life- long physical and spiritual pain; and it illustrates painterly skills and techniques reminiscent of old European masters. Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) left behind a slender œuvre, 143 small-size paintings, rarely larger than 20 x 30 or 40 x 60 cm. Nevertheless, some of them became icons of 20th century art, such as The Broken Column or The Wounded Deer . The latter is almost a miniature but no less fascinating. Two thirds of Frida Kahlo's œuvre are self-portraits. This ostensible narcissism is bound up with her biography, with the country and epoch in which she grew up, and with her decidedly eccentric character. Exotic and explosive, sensuous and fascinatingly vital, Kahlo's paintings shed a complex and often frightening light on her soul, her "inner reality", as she called it.
