This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

    The Museum of Modern Art U west 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart NO. 13 FOR RELEASE: FEBRUARY 11, 1972 RECENT ACQUISITIONS X A construction and a painting from the early twentieth century by two Russians and a group of six paintings from the sixties make up the exhibition of new acquisitions to The Museum of Modern Art Painting and Sculpture Collection on view on the first floor through March 5. The Russian works are a life-size figure constructed of painted wood elements (with some crushed eggshells applied for pointillist effect) by the virtually forgotten sculptor and painter Vladimir Baranoff-Rossine (1888-1942), and a large gouache by Ivan Puni (1894- 1956) called Flight of Forms. These purchases constitute major additions by artists not previously represented in the Museum's collection of the crucial, short-lived development of abstract art in Russia before and after the Revolution of 1917. Historically, the Bara- noff-Rossine is especially interesting. Called Symphony Number 1, it was done in Paris in 1913 under the influence of Cubism and establishes the artist as a pioneer experimenter, together with Picasso and Archipenko, with the concept of constructed sculpture, using found components and unconventional materials. In its ambitious scale and intricacy of construction and painted surface, however, it goes beyond anything produced until then by either Picasso or Archipenko. Its title parallels the use of musical nomenclature by the artist's fellow Russian, Wassily Kandinsky, and other works by Baranoff-Rossine confirm his interest in finding a means of integrating musical concepts with those of the visual arts.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: [email protected] PETER YOUNG Ellipse Paintings ARTIST’S FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION AT GALLERY WENDI NORRIS September 8 – October 29, 2016 Opening Reception: Thursday, September 8, 6-8PM Peter Young in conversation with Gary Garrels, Elise S. Haas Senior Curator of Painting & Sculpture, SFMOMA Wednesday, September 28, 6-7PM #36 – 1994, 1994, Acrylic on canvas, 67 3/4 x 80 1/2 inches (172.1 x 204.5 cm) July 5, 2016 – San Francisco – For the first exhibition with Peter Young, Gallery Wendi Norris will exhibit nine large paintings on canvas and eight small paintings on paper from the artist’s “Ellipse” series. The solo show will encompass the entire gallery with works completed between 1989-2001. Charisma and exuberance flow through the gestural color swatches in Young’s work. In works like #75- 2000 and #76-2000, the central color palette is that of primary colors, and in others, such as #36-1994, the softer hues of western landscapes appear. For example, in #36-1994, the sienna glow of the rocky environs surrounding his Southern Arizona home is prominent, with thinly washed turquoise strokes, suggesting the pristine blue skies of the desert. Though the foreground is made up of flat, thickly colored geometric shapes, the background is comprised of delicate washes of acrylic or vacant white canvas. Such distinct layers produce a surprising sense of depth and motion as the viewer’s eye moves from one plane to the other. A dancing effect materializes and the works approach the near figurative, as if in conversation with paintings of an earlier era with a similar emphasis on joie-de-vivre, perhaps those of Matisse and his fauvist compatriots.

  • Lyrical Abstraction
    Lyrical Abstraction Findlay Galleries presents the group exhibition, Lyrical Abstraction, showcasing works by Mary Abbott, Norman Bluhm, James Brooks, John Ferren, Gordon Onslow Ford, Paul Jenkins, Ronnie Landfield, Frank Lobdell, Emily Mason, Irene Rice Pereira, Robert Richenburg, and Vivian Springford. The Lyrical Abstraction movement emerged in America during the 1960s and 1970s in response to the growth of Minimalism and Conceptual art. Larry Aldrich, founder of the Aldrich Museum, first coined the term Lyrical Abstraction and staged its first exhibition in 1971 at The Whitney Museum of American Art. The exhibition featured works by artists such as Dan Christensen, Ronnie Landfield, and William Pettet. David Shirey, a New York Times critic who reviewed the exhibition, said, “[Lyrical Abstraction] is not interested in fundamentals and forces. It takes them as a means to an end. That end is beauty...” Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings and Mark Rothko’s stained color forms provided important precedence for the movement in which artists adopted a more painterly approach with rich colors and fluid composition. Ronnie Landfield, an artist at the forefront of Lyrical Abstraction calls it “a new sensibility,” stating: ...[Lyrical Abstraction] was painterly, additive, combined different styles, was spiritual, and expressed deep human values. Artists in their studios knew that reduction was no longer necessary for advanced art and that style did not necessarily determine quality or meaning. Lyrical Abstraction was painterly, loose, expressive, ambiguous, landscape-oriented, and generally everything that Minimal Art and Greenbergian Formalism of the mid-sixties were not. Building on Aldrich’s concept of Lyrical Abstractions, Findlay Galleries’ exhibition expands the definition to include artists such as John Ferren, Robert Richenburg and Frank Lobdell.

  • From Theleague
    LINESfrom the League The Student and Alumni Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Winter 2013 Letter from the Executive Director hen thinking about public artwork in New York City, I go back to the work of Augustus Saint-Gaudens—the Sherman monument at Grand W Army Plaza, or the Farragut monument in Madison Square Park. These are commemorative artworks, created to honor military figures and the specific historical roles they played. I am reminded of what Model to Monument (M2M) instructor Greg Wyatt refers to as “the public square speaking for the people”— the artist as a voice for the public. What is public art if not a mirror of the aspirations and expectations of a culture and society? Michelangelo’s David stood in the Piazza della Signoria, a reflection of Florentine civic pride. Recently, I returned from a trip to Beijing, China, where I traveled to meet with the artist Ai Weiwei. Our conversation was primarily about his experience at the League, where he attended from 1983 to 1986. He remembers well the sense of freedom he felt in pursuing his art and the open discourse he had with his instruc- tors. One thing that interests me very much about Ai Weiwei’s work is the freedom with which he expresses himself on issues that are controversial to the Chinese government, and the clarity of his statements. On the wall of one of his studios is the list of the names of thousands of children who died in the Szechuan earthquake, from which he created a very moving mural using backpacks such as those the children would have carried to the schools that collapsed on them.
