Sometimes we acquire pieces that are quite old, or maybe human interference calls for repair. On this episode, we're going to talk about Roy Lichtenstein's brushstrokes, an outdoor sculpture that was given to the Portland Art Museum in 2004, to commemorate the opening of the Museum's Mark building, which is home to the Jubitz center of contemporary art, the Crumpacker family library, our two ballrooms and administrative offices.

  • A Comparative Study of Vincent Van Gogh's Bedroom Series
    A comparative study of Vincent van Gogh’s Bedroom series Ella Hendriks,* Leo Jansen, Johanna Salvant, Élisabeth Ravaud, Myriam Eveno, Michel Menu, Inge Fiedler, Muriel Geldof, Luc Megens, Maarten van Bommel, C. Richard Johnson Jr and Don. H. Johnson ABSTRACT Recent plans to clean and restore Vincent van Gogh’s painting of his Bedroom in Arles (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam) sparked off a broad collaborative campaign of investigations to compare the materials and techniques used in all three painted versions of this theme, including the Bedroom pictures now in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago and Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The features considered in this paper include picture format and composition, the preliminary sketch, colour scheme and pigments used, paint handling and condition of the works, all related to relevant passages in the artist’s letters. Findings help to substantiate chronological sequence, as well as providing insight into the broader question of how Van Gogh’s ideas and working methods evolved in the process of making serial repetitions or copies of his own works. Introduction (letter 800). In the same letter, Van Gogh mentions that he will make some copies for his mother and two sisters in Nowadays, Vincent van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles is one of Holland, including one of the Bedroom (this is the small his best-known paintings and from the artist’s letters we copy now in the collection of Musée d’Orsay).

The dissertation draws attention to Power’s unusual method of collecting which was characterised by his buying of work in quantity, considering it in depth and at leisure in his own home, and only then deciding on what to keep or discard. Because of the auto-didactic nature of his education in contemporary art, Power acquired work from a wide cross section of artists and sculptors in order to interrogate the paintings in his own mind. He paid particular attention to the works of Nicolas de Stael, Jean Dubuffet, Asger Jorn, Sam Francis, Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Picabia, William Turnbull and Howard Hodgkin.

  • Art of the Sixties and Seventies Minimalism
    Art of the Sixties and Seventies Minimalism Minimalism originated in New York City in the 1950s and became a major trend in the 1960s and 70s. characterized by extreme simplicity of form as by the use of basic shapes and monochromatic palettes of primary colors, and rejection of emotional content. The minimalist work is set out to expose the essence, essentials or identity of a subject through eliminating all non-essential forms, features or concepts. The Minimalists believed that a work of art should be entirely self- referential; personal elements were stripped away to reveal the objective, purely visual elements. The intention of minimalist artists is to allow the audience to view a composition more intensely because the distractions of theme etc. have been removed. TONY SMITH, Die, 1962. Steel, 6’ x 6’ x 6’.
