Paris Photo Booth D22 Paris Photo Booth D22 PARIS PHOTO Grand Palais, Paris | November 9-12, 2017 Booth D22 Bruce Siverstein Gallery Stand D22 Featured artists: Bill Brandt, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Constantin Brâncusi, Harry Callahan, Henri Cartier Bresson, F. Holland Day, František Drtikol, Elliot Erwitt, Eric Fischl, Mishka Henner, André Kertész, Dora Maar, Rene Magritte, Paul Outerbridge, Irving Penn, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Aaron Siskind, Rosalind Fox Solomon, Frederick Sommer, Edward Steichen, Marjan Teeuwen, Penelope Umbrico, Ryan Weideman, Brett Weston, Edward Weston, Michael Wolf and Francesca Woodman Stand Highlights: Often hailed as one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, André Kertész is positioned firmly within art history for his timeless, poetic images of modern urban life.After moving to Paris in 1925, he became a defining member of the modern art movement, culminating in a solo exhibition atAu Sacre du Printemps in 1927. Included in this landmark gallery show were his most prized, early works, Chez Mondrian, 1926, Piet Mondrian, 1926, and Mondrian’s Studio, 1926, an image of the anterior of the painter’s studio in Paris. In honor of the 90th anniversary of this momentous exhibition, Bruce Silverstein is pleased to present Kertész’s modernist masterpiece, Chez Mondrian, 1926, the vintage exhibition print from this seminal show, at Paris Photo. Much has been written of Andre Kertész’s association with Piet Mondrian and how their encounters altered the photographer’s point of view. It is rarely mentioned, however, that their only common language was that of art – as Mondrian was from Holland and Kertész had recently emigrated from Hungary. Kertész had to use his camera to convey his deep, visceral response to Mondrian’s unique visual language. At their simplest form, this series of images taken in Mondrian’s studio were the result of his best attempt to communicate with Mondrian the only way Kertész knew how – through photography. Other highlights include a wonderful Surrealist self-portrait by René Magritte from 1938, exhibited for the first time, as well as a selection of early photographs by Man Ray from a private collection, rediscovered in Milan in 1978. The gallery will also be showcasing new work by both contemporary artists Mishka Henner and Penelope Umbrico, as well as a highly sought-after piece from Michael Wolf’s iconic series, Architecture of Density. Debuting work from her signature series Destroyed Houses, Bruce Silverstein is delighted to announce the representation of Dutch contemporary artist, Marjan Teeuwen.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • Comparison of Matisse and Picasso's Treatment of the Human Body
    Depiction of the body Matisse vs. Karie Edwards Eric Jones Picasso Chenla Ou Pablo Picasso 1881-1973 Henri Matisse 1869-1954 Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were two of the twentieth century's greatest rivals and yet no two artists inspired each other more.-- www.matisse-picasso.org “Expression, for me, does not reside in passions glowing in a human face or manifested by violent movement. The entire arrangement of my picture is expressive; the place occupied by the figures, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything has its share.” – Henri Matisse “The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present. I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future. I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should. Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.” -- Picasso “We must talk to each other as much as we can. When one of us dies, there will be some things the other will never be able to talk of with anyone else.” --Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso Matisse Time Line 1869: Born in Cateau-Cambrésis, France

  • CUSD Art Masterpiece
    Art Masterpiece: Dora Maar, 1937 by Pablo Picasso ____________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Cubism, Portrait, Shape Grade: 4th – 6th Activity: Cubist Style Portrait Meet the Artist: • Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His father was also an art teacher and encouraged Picasso to pursue art. Picasso was considered a master of drawing by age 12. • Picasso is known as a great artist but also for the drastic changes in his art style throughout his career. He started out with the uncanny ability to paint realistically. • At nineteen he moved to Paris, and unfortunately, had a run of bad luck. His best friend died, his painting weren’t selling and he was practically starving to death. This was the start of his “blue period”. Much of his art was painted entirely blue and many of his subjects were lonely and sad. His work was controversial: some loved it, others thought they were too strange. • Eventually, Picasso fell in love and soon a happier color appeared in his work. It was the start of his “rose period”, where everything he painted was with warm tones and of happier subjects. Many of his paintings from this time included circus scenes. • Picasso is most known for a style of art called Cubism. Cubism emphasized line, shape and color and would take the subject of a painting and breaks it down into cubes or geometric shapes. It was a modern art style that wasn’t realistic. • Cubism is a very important to art history. It blew peoples minds. For hundreds of years artist were trying their best to paint as realistically as possible and then Picasso came along and tried to make things look different.

She learned photography as an assistant and had her first solo exhibition in 1944 at Mexico City’s Palace of Fine Arts. She described the camera as a way to show “the life I found before me.” Álvarez Bravo was engaged in the Mexican surrealist movement, documenting the lives of many fellow artists in her work. Jean Arp JON ARP (J as in mirage) Jean Arp (also known as Hans Arp), was a German-French sculp- tor, painter, and writer best known for his paper cut-outs and his abstract sculptures. Arp also created many collages. He worked, like other surrealists, with chance and intuition to create art instead of using reason and logic, later becoming a member of the “Abstraction-Création” art movement. 3 André Breton ahn-DRAY bruh-TAWN A founder of surrealism, avant-garde writer and artist André Breton originally trained to be a doctor, serving in the French army’s neuropsychiatric center during World War I.

    ANTONIO SAURA'S MONSTRIFICATIONS: THE MONSTROUS BODY, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE MODERN SPANISH TRADITION BY FERNANDO HERRERO-MATOSES DISSERTATION Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jonathan D. Fineberg, Chair Associate Professor Jordana Mendelson, New York University Assistant Professor Terri Weissman Associate Professor Brett A. Kaplan Associate Professor Elena L. Delgado Abstract This dissertation examines the monstrous body in the works of Antonio Saura Atares (1930-1998) as a means of exploring moments of cultural and political refashioning of the modern Spanish tradition during the second half of the twentieth century. In his work, Saura rendered figures in well-known Spanish paintings by El Greco, Velázquez, Goya and Picasso as monstrous bodies. Saura’s career-long gesture of deforming bodies in discontinuous thematic series across decades (what I called monstrifications) functioned as instances for artistic self-evaluation and cultural commentary. Rather than metaphorical self-portraits, Saura’s monstrous bodies allegorized the artistic and symbolic body of his artistic ancestry as a dismembered and melancholic corpus. In examining Saura’s monstrifications, this dissertation closely examines the reshaping of modern Spanish narrative under three different political periods: Franco’s dictatorship, political transition, and social democracy. By situating Saura’s works and texts within the context of Spanish recent political past, this dissertation aims to open conversations and cultural analyses about the individual interpretations made by artists through their politically informed appropriations of cultural traditions. As I argue, Saura’s monstrous bodies incarnated an allegorical and melancholic gaze upon the fragmentary and discontinuous corpus of Spanish artistic legacy as an always-retrieved yet never restored body.

  • Artist Among the Ruins. Art in Poland of the 1940S and Surrealist Subtexts
    24 Artist Among the Ruins. Art in Poland of the 1940s and Surrealist Subtexts DOROTA JARECKA 372 Dorota Jarecka Dorota Jarecka is an art historian specialising in modern and contemporary art in Poland, as well as a critic and director of Galeria Studio in Warsaw. She is the author of Erna Rosenstein. Mogę powtarzać tylko nieświadomie / I Can Repeat Only Unconsciously (with Barbara Piwowarska, 2014), Anda Rottenberg. Już trudno.

Te text that follows is a revised version of an essay frst published as ‘Artysta na ruinach: Sztuka polska lat 40 i surrealistyczne konotacje’ in Miejsce: studia nad sztuką i architekturą polską XX I XXI wieku, issue 2 (2016). Te essay ofers a new framework for understanding art in Poland in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, focussing on developments in Kraków and Warsaw, which both showed a bias towards Surrealist forms and ideas. Surrealism appeared to provide a third way between aestheticism and the Socialist Realism that the newly-established Socialist state was soon to impose. Cultural ties with other countries in Europe had not yet been severed completely in the years 1945 to 1948, and the choice of Surrealism undoubtedly had political dimensions. Surrealists in France, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia were considered traitors by the Communist Party as early as the 1930s and stigmatised as ideological enemies.

    For Immediate Release October 22, 2008 Contact: Milena Sales 212.636.2680 [email protected] Sung-Hee Park 212.636.2680 [email protected] IMPRESSIONIST AND MODERN ART DAY AND WORKS ON PAPER SALES AT CHRISTIE’S NEW YORK THIS FALL New York – On November 6, Christie's New York will hold the Fall 2008 Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale, followed by the Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper Sale on November 7. Offering approximately 350 lots over the course of two days, both sales will feature works by leading Impressionist and Modern masters such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Gabriele Münter, Paul Klee, René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Joan Miró, Henry Moore and Henri Matisse. Christie's remains the only international auction house to hold sales dedicated exclusively to Impressionist and Modern Works on Paper. Impressionist and Modern Art Day Sale- November 6 The 240-lot Day Sale is led by important private collections. The first, from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Klingenstein, includes an oil on canvas by Marc Chagall entitled La femme en rouge (illustrated left on page 1- estimate: $750,000-950,000). As a frequent attendee of the Cirque d’ Hiver in Paris, Chagall often depicted lovers, flowers, animals and performers, forming a symbolical composition that fulfilled Chagall’s desire to create an art of joy, hope, and love. Here, Chagall positioned the musical performers as if floating towards the lovers, linking these symbols of passion and the arts. The cover lot of the sale is Joan Miró’s Femmes devant la lune (estimate: $600,000-800,000), coming directly from the family of Pierre Matisse, the artist’s dealer who launched the artist’s career to America.
