  • “L.A. Raw” RADICAL CALIFORNIA by Patricia Cronin
    “L.A. Raw” hris Burden Donatello, 1975 RADICAL CALIFORNIA private collection by Patricia Cronin Maverick independent curator Michael Duncan has mounted a visceral, hair-raising survey exhibition of figurative art by more than 40 Los Angeles artists in “L.A. RAW: Abject Expressionism in Los Angeles 1945-1980, from Rico LeBrun to Paul McCarthy,” Jan. 22-May 20, 2012, at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. The show is a revelatory part of the Getty Initia- Nancy Buchanan tive’s 60-exhibition extravaganza “Pacific Standard Time,” whose various Wolfwoman, 1977 events have been reviewed prolifically byArtnet Magazine’s own Hunter courtesy of the artist and Drohojowska-Philp. Cardwell Jimmerson Contemporary Art In Los Angeles, artists responded to post-war existential questions in a dramatically different fashion than their East Coast counterparts. While the New York School turned to Abstract Expressionism (simultaneously shift- ing the epicenter of the art world from Paris and Europe), artists in L.A. fashioned a much more direct and populist response to the realities of the Vietnam war, the horrors of Auschwitz and Hiroshima, and the threat of McCarthyism. The hallmark of this kind of work is the expressively distort- ed human body, constitutig a new, distinctly West Coast kind of human- ism. Of the 41 artists in the show, ten percent had fled Europe and immigrated to the U.S., and nearly half of them, including the occult performance art- Rico Lebrun The Oppressor (after de Sade, 6–8) ist Marjorie Cameron (1922-1995), served in the Armed Forces in WWII. 1962 Ben Sakoguchi was sent to a wartime internment camp when he was only courtesy of Koplin Del Rio Gallery, four years old, and Kim Jones served in Vietnam.

    The History of Transportation Helen Lundeberg, Artist 1940, Petromosaic mural 230 S. Grevillea Ave., Inglewood, CA 90301 The History of Transportation by Helen Lundeberg shows the history of human transportation in the Centinela Valley, including Inglewood. The mural, comprised of 60 panels with crushed rock set in mortar, showcases technological changes in transportation from walking to horses and carts, to railroads and propeller-driven airplanes. A playful small white dog appears throughout the artwork’s 240’ length. The History of Transportation was a commission from the Federal Works Progress Administration, and is the largest mural in that program. The mural was originally built along one of Inglewood’s most traveled commuter arteries. After auto incidents destroyed two of the sixty panels, a multifaceted, four-year conservation effort began. The mural was re-installed in 2009 on city property specially landscaped as Grevillea Art Park. It faces Inglewood High School and is perpendicular to the bustling Manchester Boulevard. The relocation was led by Landscape Architect Randall Meyer and Associates with restoration and interpretive kiosks by Sculpture Conservation Studios in partnership with the Feitelson/Lundeberg Art Foundation. Inglewood War Memorial Designer unknown 1970, Monument City Hall, 1 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA 90301 The Inglewood War Memorial is sited on the green expanses fronting City Hall’s Manchester Boulevard entrance. The memorial is comprised of a marble obelisk on a granite base before a flag court. The center panel on the granite base holds the words: “To keep forever living the freedom for which they died. We dedicate this memorial to our dead in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.” Service veteran’s names are on the plinth.

  • The Written Word (1972)
    THE WRITTEN WORD (1972) The Written Word is Tom Van Sant’s public art treatment for three distinct con- Artist: crete areas of the Inglewood Public Library. The work is cast into the concrete Tom Van Sant surfaces of the exterior stairwell column on Manchester; the lower level of an interior lobby, and an exterior wall of the Lecture Hall. Collection: City of Inglewood Van Sant explores the development of written thought in numbers, letters, Medium: theories and histories from diverse cultures in diverse times. Egyptian hiero- Bas-Relief glyphics, Polynesian counting systems, European cave painting and Einstein’s mathematical equations are some of the many images to inspire Library’s Material: patrons with the wealth of words found inside. Poured-in-place concrete Van Sant was commissioned through the NEA Art in Architecture program to work with Civic Center architects Charles Luckman and Associates, This artwork required special molds built in reverse so the texts and drawings would be cor- rectly read, a technique requiring a high degree of craft. The Written Word is one of the few examples of a poured-in-place concrete bas-relief in the Los Angeles basin and one of the largest to employ this technique in the world. Inglewood Public Library 101 West Manchester Boulevard Inglewood, CA INGLEWOOD PUBLIC ART EDUCATION PROJECT 1 Tom Van Sant Tom Van Sant is a sculptor, painter, and conceptual artist with major sculpture and mural commissions for public spaces around the world.

  • AAR Magazine Spring Summer 2021`
    AMERICAN ACADEMY IN ROME MAGAZINE SPRING/ SUMMER 2021 A Message from the Chair of the Board of Trustees It’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since the world paused. Thank you for your continued com- mitment to AAR in what I’m sure we will remember as one of society’s most challenging moments. Your time, expertise, guidance, and financial support have all been instrumental in seeing the Academy through this period. I’d also like to thank Mark Robbins and the whole team, especially those on the ground in Rome, for their incredible dedication to navigating the ups, downs, and surprises this past year has brought. Turning to today, the Academy has successfully reopened and the selection process for next year’s fellowship class is complete. AAR is in a much stronger position than I could have imagined when the full pandemic crisis became clear in March 2020. Our finances are stable and (with vaccinations) we believe that by the fall our activities will be close to fully restored. One of the many downsides of this past year has been the lack of direct connection, and we look for- ward to future gatherings in person, here and in Rome. With appreciation and gratitude, Cary Davis Chair, AAR Board of Trustees SPRING/SUMMER 2021 UP FRONT FEATURES 2 20 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT SEEING THE ANCIENT WORLD AAR receives major gift of photographs 4 by Carole Raddato FAR AFIELD Checking in with past Fellows and Residents 24 GIVING FOR THE AGES 6 Richard E.

  • Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7)
    1960 Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7) A publisher and an antique dealer for most of his life, Streeter Blair (1888–1966) began painting at the age of 61 in 1949. Blair became quite successful in a short amount of time with numerous exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including several one-man shows as early as 1951. He sought to recapture “those social and business customs which ended when motor cars became common in 1912, changing the life of America’s activities” in his artwork. He believed future generations should have a chance to visually examine a period in the United States before drastic technological change. This exhibition displayed twenty-one of his paintings and was well received by the public. Three of his paintings, the Eisenhower Farm loaned by Mr. & Mrs. George Walker, Bread Basket loaned by Mr. Peter Walker, and Highland Farm loaned by Miss Helen Moore, were sold during the exhibition. [Newsletter, memo, various letters] The Private World of Pablo Picasso (January 15–February 7) A notable exhibition of paintings, drawings, and graphics by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), accompanied by photographs of Picasso by Life photographer David Douglas Duncan (1916– 2018). Over thirty pieces were exhibited dating from 1900 to 1956 representing Picasso’s Lautrec, Cubist, Classic, and Guernica periods. These pieces supplemented the 181 Duncan photographs, shown through the arrangement of the American Federation of Art. The selected photographs were from the book of the same title by Duncan and were the first ever taken of Picasso in his home and studio.
