  • The Atlanta Preservation Center's
    THE ATLANTA PRESERVATION CENTER’S Phoenix2017 Flies A CELEBRATION OF ATLANTA’S HISTORIC SITES FREE CITY-WIDE EVENTS PRESERVEATLANTA.COM Welcome to Phoenix Flies ust as the Grant Mansion, the home of the Atlanta Preservation Center, was being constructed in the mid-1850s, the idea of historic preservation in America was being formulated. It was the invention of women, specifically, the ladies who came J together to preserve George Washington’s Mount Vernon. The motives behind their efforts were rich and complicated and they sought nothing less than to exemplify American character and to illustrate a national identity. In the ensuing decades examples of historic preservation emerged along with the expanding roles for women in American life: The Ladies Hermitage Association in Nashville, Stratford in Virginia, the D.A.R., and the Colonial Dames all promoted preservation as a mission and as vehicles for teaching contributive citizenship. The 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition held in Piedmont Park here in Atlanta featured not only the first Pavilion in an international fair to be designed by a woman architect, but also a Colonial Kitchen and exhibits of historic artifacts as well as the promotion of education and the arts. Women were leaders in the nurture of the arts to enrich American culture. Here in Atlanta they were a force in the establishment of the Opera, Ballet, and Visual arts. Early efforts to preserve old Atlanta, such as the Leyden Columns and the Wren’s Nest were the initiatives of women. The Atlanta Preservation Center, founded in 1979, was championed by the Junior League and headed by Eileen Rhea Brown.

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.

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.
