  • 2010 Exhibition Schedule
    2010 Exhibition Schedule John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Praise of Women (May 29, 2010 - December 31, 2010) The Fenimore Art Museum presents the first major exhibition on the topic of portraits of women by the well-known American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). The exhibition explores Sargentʼs range of styles and depth of characterization in his portraits of society women, as well as his fascination with exotic working-class women of Venice and Capri. The paintings and drawings provide an intimate glimpse into the lives of these women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Included will be drawings of Madame Gautreau, the mysterious subject of Sargent's famous portrait Madame X. Empire Waists, Bustles and Lace: A Century of New York Fashion (April 1, 2010 – December 31, 2010) Empire Waists, Bustles and Lace is an exciting exhibition of the Museumʼs collection of historic dresses. When viewed in conjunction with the John Singer Sargent exhibition, the show enables visitors to see and experience a broader historical context of menʼs and womenʼs fashion. Even though upstate New York was considered the edge of the western frontier in the 19th century, residents of the area kept up with New York City and the world in terms of fashion. The exhibition includes the oldest known example of a dress with a label, stunning examples of Empire, Romantic and Civil War era dresses and turn-of-the-20th century (Sargent era) items. Additionally, visitors will be able to peek at what was worn underneath the dresses which were vital to giving them their distinctive shapes.

  • Decisivemoment
    Cartier Bresson is the pioneer of candid photography. His work spans both mundane and historic aspects. He views photography as decisive moment, and this theory has influenced a lot of photographers. Cartier Bresson is born in August 22, 1908 in France. He keened in painting when he was a teenager. He learned painting with André Lhote. In 1932, Bresson spent one year in the Ivory Coast. Not long he had his first Leica camera which is the beginning of his life-long photography career.1 having rejected his father’s business, he started to make living by selling his photographs for publication. In 1933, he travel to Spain which was three years prior to the onset of the Spanish Civil War. In the 1940 he was captured by Nazis and spent three years in the prison. He successfully escaped from the prison on his third attempt in 1943. Under Robert capa ‘s advice, he spent 3 years on traveling in the East. in 1952, he returned to Europe. The Decisive Moment was published which is his first book. He founded Magnum Photos with Robert Capa, George Rodger, David Seymour and William Vandivert in 1957, and since then his photographs show us all over the world: from Europe to India, Burma, Pakistan, China, Japan, Indonesia, Russia, the Middle East, Cuba, Mexico, America and Canada. In the idea of The Decisive Moment, Cartier Bresson said that he wanted to tell a story within one image.2 And the image composed with vigor and richness is supposed to sparkle the story. Bresson completed his photos with lines, curves and everything could contribute to make a photo poetic, What helped him to achieve that is his ability to capture the incredible geometric compositions, juxtapose forms and leading lines.

  • Press Release
    HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON Portraits "I rang the bell, the door opened, I shot, I then said good morning. It wasn't very polite." Henri Cartier-Bresson Remembering Henri Cartier-Bresson, ten years after he passed away in August 2004, Michel Soskine Inc. presents at the gallery space in Madrid an exhibition showing a selection of 21 portraits by this master photographer of the twentieth century. Throughout his entire career Cartier-Bresson captured numerous portraits, often of anonymous people, but also of relevant personalities in the arts and philosophy of his time. Thus, this exhibition features portraits of Giacometti, Lucien Freud, Stravinsky, Jean Genet or Paul Valéry, in a selection that alternates famous images with less known ones. They reflect a time and a context that we can envision very closely, almost intimately, as in the hands of Cartier-Bresson, the camera seems to disappear, as if no one had mediated between the subject and the viewer. Through a fleeting glance or in the privacy of a one-to-one conversation, Cartier-Bresson captures and subtly suggests the personality of those who were prominent figures in the Paris of those years. HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON (1908 – 2004) Born in Chanteloup, Seine-et-Marne, Henri Cartier-Bresson developed a strong fascination with painting early on, and particularly with Surrealism. In 1932, after spending a year in the Ivory Coast, he discovered the Leica - his camera of choice thereafter - and began a life-long passion for photography. In 1933 he had his first exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York. He later made films with Jean Renoir.

Beginning in 1941, Robert Capa regularly used color film until his death in 1954. Some of the photographs were published in the magazines of the day, but over the years the color work was virtually forgotten. Until now. Capa in Color, on view at the International Center of Photography (ICP) from January 31 to May 4, 2014, is the first full assessment of color photographs by the famed photojournalist. Comprising over 100 contemporary prints, as well as related publications and personal papers, the exhibition is a fascinating new look into the color work of this master of photography. “Capa’s talent with black-and-white film was extraordinary, and starting color film halfway through his career required a new discipline, but it also opened up new opportunities,” said ICP Curator Cynthia Young, who organized the exhibition. “The exhibition is also about how Capa reinvents himself as a photographer during the years when he is not covering war and political conflicts. The color work was very much a part of trying to keep the Magnum agency afloat, because the magazines wanted more and more color in the postwar period.” In 1938, while in China covering the Sino-Japanese War, Capa wrote to a friend at his New York agency requesting 12 rolls of Kodachrome and instructions on how to use it.

  • Robert Capa : Photographs
    ROBERT CAPA/PHOTOGRAPHS FOREWORD BY HENRI CARTIER-BRESSON REMEMBRANCE BY CORNELL CAPA INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD WHELAN Robert Capa: Photographs is the first true retrospective book of one of the century’s greatest photographers. Drawing upon hundreds of previously unseen images, this collection reveals Capa as one of the great poets of the camera. In these photographs, we see through the eyes of a driven humanist who was also a documentarian of the highest caliber. While previous volumes on Capa have focused on his role as a war photographer, Robert Capa: Photographs shows us the remarkable range of his work, which encompasses the suffer¬ ings as well as the tenderness, humor, and wonder of his subjects. Robert Capa demonstrated not only a passionate commitment to improving the human condition, but also an unfailing eye for graphic impact. Although his photographs remain the definitive visual records of such momentous events as the siege of Madrid, the bombing of Hankou, and the Allied landings on D-Day, many of his images have a timeless and universal quality that transcends the specifics of history. A Spanish soldier recoils at the impact of a bul¬ let, the final instant of his life. In a scene of perfect joy, a group of Chinese children laugh at the sky as snow begins to fall. Four farm workers, hauling all the belongings they can manage, trudge grim¬ ly away from an apocalyptic backdrop of smoke and ruins: their war-devastated homes. Capa's images reveal his profound compassion and percep¬ tiveness about our tenuous human state. As Cornell Capa (Robert’s younger brother and the Founding Director Emeritus of the International Center of Photography) writes eloquent remem¬ brance: “He managed to travel all over 'V'\\ world, and to communicate his experience and feelings ■ \\,'rtgh a universal VI; v ACPLITE DISCARDED Robert Ldpa pit w _ DO NOT REMOVE CARDS FROM POCKET ALLEN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY FORT WAYNE, INDIANA 46802 You may return this book to any agency, branch, or bookmobile of the Allen County Public Library.
