The Riverdale Art Association was created in 1999, by a small group of artists for the purpose of exhibiting, selling their work and sharing information about art in all its forms. While the founders of RAA met in their homes and became exposed to each others' artistic talents, the members now meet at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at the Atria just south of the Monument on Henry Hudson Parkway East. Meetings now include presentations by local art- ists, peer review of work in progress and general animated discussion. RAA cor- dially welcomes the community to all meetings. Artists and those interested in art from Riverdale and its surrounding area are invited to join the RAA and start enjoying all the benefits the Association brings. RAA has several group exhibits each year at various venues including the Bronx Borough President’s Office, The College of Mount St. Vincent, Manhattan College, The Riverdale Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture, Bronxville, Eastchester, Riverdale Libraries and at the Riverdale Y.

  • The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art by Adam Mccauley
    The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art The Origins and Meanings of Non-Objective Art Adam McCauley, Studio Art- Painting Pope Wright, MS, Department of Fine Arts ABSTRACT Through my research I wanted to find out the ideas and meanings that the originators of non- objective art had. In my research I also wanted to find out what were the artists’ meanings be it symbolic or geometric, ideas behind composition, and the reasons for such a dramatic break from the academic tradition in painting and the arts. Throughout the research I also looked into the resulting conflicts that this style of art had with critics, academia, and ultimately governments. Ultimately I wanted to understand if this style of art could be continued in the Post-Modern era and if it could continue its vitality in the arts today as it did in the past. Introduction Modern art has been characterized by upheavals, break-ups, rejection, acceptance, and innovations. During the 20th century the development and innovations of art could be compared to that of science. Science made huge leaps and bounds; so did art. The innovations in travel and flight, the finding of new cures for disease, and splitting the atom all affected the artists and their work. Innovative artists and their ideas spurred revolutionary art and followers. In Paris, Pablo Picasso had fragmented form with the Cubists. In Italy, there was Giacomo Balla and his Futurist movement. In Germany, Wassily Kandinsky was working with the group the Blue Rider (Der Blaue Reiter), and in Russia Kazimer Malevich was working in a style that he called Suprematism.

  • Abstract Art: Geometry and Movement
    Abstract Art: Geometry and Movement In the context of the return to Geometrical and Kinetic Art in Paris in the second half of the fifties, the formation of Equipo 57 by a group of Spanish artists and architects based in the French capital entailed a reaction against the ubiquitousness of Art Informel and Lyrical Abstraction. At the same time, it implied adopting a particularly meaningful political stance in connection with the Franco regime. In an attempt to conform to the spirit of the times and the modes of industrial production this group proposed to construct reality through an objective and quantifiable geometric language divested of all individual traces. and sculpture, which they apply to wider fields of research linked to mechanical and electrical media. The exhibition was constructed around prophetic statements such as ‘The pleasure of a new plastic beauty that moves, and moves us, lies in store.’ In the period between the two world wars Alexander Calder (1898-1976) had already ventured into this line of research from the ranks of the avant-garde through the mobile. Calder’s discourse on move- ment was enhanced in this new context, as a result of which he became a key figure bridging the gap between generations of As opposed to the insistence on individualism, the introspection of Art Informel painters artists. In his turn, Spanish artist Eusebio and the other consequences of European and American abstraction, around the mid- Sempere (1923-1985), who had settled fifties several new proposals strove to achieve a more geometrical, objective and dehu- in Paris in 1948, was immediately influen- manised art.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

    2007 SCMS CONFERENCE PROGRAM and SCREENING SYNOPSES MARCH 8–11 • HILTON CHICAGO SOCIETY FOR CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES SOCIETY 2007 SCMS CONFERENCE PROGRAM and SCREENING SYNOPSES MARCH 8–11 • HILTON CHICAGO CHICAGO Letter from the SCMS President Welcome to Chicago! Our conference this year is another very large gathering of film scholars from around the world. Our conferences have continued to grow in size each year, and this year is no exception. We received 877 proposals, compared with 845 last year and 708 the year before for London. By far, our biggest category this year was the Open Call submissions, which suggests that we are seeing an influx of new members trying out the conference for a first time. But you will also find many familiar faces and names among the attendees, and our roster of program topics fully reflects the diverse nature of moving picture media in today’s world. One of my priorities as President has been to encourage the diversification of program topics at our conferences in ways that are reflective of our organization’s dual function name—cinema and media. Seeing this occur over the past few years has been enormously pleasurable for me. I believe that our confer- ences are more exciting intellectually than they have ever been, and the wealth of topics addressed by papers and panels—cinema, television, radio, video games, media policy, global economy, and so on—demonstrates the continuing vitality of our field. This opening up of focus is far from being a symptom of centerlessness or confused identities—instead, it demonstrates how our field and its scholars are keeping pace with rapid changes in the world of moving image media.

Her paintings were a vehicle for expressing her emotions, usually with strong lines, energetic brush strokes and a luminous quality. Robert Natkin was born in Chicago in 1930 into a large Russian-Jewish immigrant family.

What’s Next…..Who Knows?? Is a very fitting subtitle for our annual catalogue. What has happened in the past four-five months seems unimaginable, then again, it could be a blessing in disguise, a kind of wake-up call for all of us. Our global treatment of humanity, our planet’s environment, economic collapse, civil rights and politics have caused a boiling point in our society and then add the Covid-19 Pandemic to top things off and there you have “What’s Next…..Who Knows? One thing I know is art and the art market has literally been around forever and has weathered centuries of wars, economic crashes and many other global disasters and will continue to prevail perhaps in new ways to which it will need to reinvent itself. I believe a correction is taking place as has happened in every market throughout history when strained by historic events. The brick & mortar gallery model is becoming a thing of the past and the existence of art fairs in the near future is questionable regarding the current health situations for the dealers and the collectors who attend. I believe that a large group of galleries are going to close as their business models aren’t strong enough to survive these extreme times.

Madrid ORGANIZATION: Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía CURATOR: Serge Guilbaut COORDINATION: Soledad Liaño and Belén Díaz de Rábago RELATED ACTIVITIE:S The Jazz Age in Paris. Conference of Serge Guilbaut and bebop concert by René Urtreger. November 20, 2018 - 19:00 h. Nouvel building, Auditorium 400 In collaboration with: Lost, Loose and Loved: Foreign Artists in Paris 1944-1968 is an exhibition organized by the Museo Reina Sofía with the collaboration of the Community of Madrid that brings the public closer to the complex artistic scene developed in the French capital after the Second World War and that recovers an outstanding cultural production often forgotten by a large part of art historiography. Thanks to a representative group of more than one hundred artists of different nationalities who covered numerous styles and formats (from painting and sculpture to cinema, music or photography) and more than 200 works - many of them never seen before - this exhibition sheds light on the richness of this period, which was undoubtedly crucial in the 20th century. Throughout the more than twenty years that make up the chronology addressed, Paris, a city that sought to restore after the devastation of war the reputation it once enjoyed as the cultural capital of the world, welcomed in successive waves a very large number of artists from America, Europe, Africa and Asia. In 1965, for example, there were some 4,500. Some were present long ago, such as Kandinsky or Picasso, but many others gradually fled their countries because of racial, homophobic or political discrimination or because they aspired to become important artistic voices thanks to critical Parisian filters.

  • 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.

  • Corpus Christi Church, New York
    VOLUME 94 | APRIL 2020 | MASHECK JOSEPH MASHECK Corpus Christi Church, New York Its Architecture and Art he treasured church of Corpus Christi on Morningside Heights in T Manhattan (“Corpus”), is known for liturgy and music—including com- missioned Mass music and congregational singing in Gregorian chant and English—rather than as a work of architecture or a site for art. Yet in the mid- and later-twentieth century the parish that worshipped in this, its second church built on West 121st Street in Manhattan, was no stranger to contem- porary culture. In 1938, two years after the church opened, Thomas Merton was conditionally baptized here.1 Three years later, the bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred during Advent; the next day, December 8, 1941, the US declared war on Japan; a few days later, children of the parish school, directed by one of their Dominican teaching sisters, found themselves painting a nativity mural with Japanese figures in a Japanese landscape.2 During the war, the French Jewish philoso- pher Simone Weil, who lived on Riverside Drive in 1942, often visited Corpus Christi for Mass, sitting, legend has it, in the back row. Corpus was in the forefront of the liturgical movement: I remember being taken here as a boy in the 1950s to participate in a “Dialogue Mass”—then considered extraordinary. (In the ’60s, Worship was sold in the vestibule.)
