F 2 F Issue18.FINAL.Qxd Face to Face AUTUMN 2006 David Hockney Portraits Pet Shop Boys in the Bookshop Gallery John Gay Portraits in Print Dryden Goodwin in conversation with Sandy Nairne From the Director RIGHT The 150th Anniversary celebrations have continued over the summer with the Royal Royal Mail Commemorative Mail’s issue of a special set of commemorative postage stamps. Selecting just ten Postage Stamps celebrating the Gallery’s 150th subjects from the riches of the Collection was a difficult task, but I am pleased that Anniversary: the span should range from our very first portrait, the Chandos painting of William Virginia Woolf Shakespeare, to the recently commissioned painted portrait of Dame Cicely Saunders by by George Charles Beresford, former BP Portrait Award winner Catherine Goodman. The latter offers an especially 1902 poignant study of a great health-care pioneer, painted in the months before she died. Sir Winston Churchill Two new commissions will be unveiled in the early autumn. One is the delightful portrait by Walter Richard Sickert, 1927 © Estate of Walter R.

The second is the complex study of the exceptional Olympic oarsman DACS/National Portrait Gallery, Sir Steven Redgrave, the only person to have won a gold medal in an aerobic London sport in five successive Olympic Games. Dryden Goodwin has created twenty-five COVER small, meticulously rendered drawings of Redgrave at close quarters, all of them then Celia in a Black Dress with combined into an animated film displayed on a plasma screen next to the drawings, White Flowers (detail) giving extraordinary life to the portrait image.

Collection of Victor Constantiner © David Hockney The climax of the year’s exhibition programme is the presentation of David Hockney Portraits, co-organised with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and sponsored in London by Burberry, also celebrating its 150th anniversary. Visitors in Boston and Los Angeles have already voiced their appreciation of this fine exhibition, curated by Sarah Howgate, the Gallery’s Contemporary Curator. Paintings, drawings and photographic collages give insight into the artist’s friends, family and lovers, often returning to the same subjects across many years and locations. Several key working places have emerged for David Hockney, most particularly East Yorkshire, London and Los Angeles. Some of the outstanding double portraits of the early 1970s are included, as well as many affectionate studies of his mother and father. Portrait projects include the ‘visitors to the studio’ and the Gallery Warders from the National Gallery. The exhibition demonstrates Hockney’s magnificent achievements across fifty years, with the artist giving a nod here and there to his particular mentors, Picasso and Ingres. It is an artistic and intellectual tour de force not to be missed, accompanied by a beautiful catalogue and a set of fascinating talks and activities. From 16 September a display of recent commissions and acquisitions, Exploring the Contemporary, can be seen on the First Floor Landing. Other portraits temporarily removed from the ground floor to accommodate David Hockney Portraits (12 October 2006–21 January 2007) can be seen on the Portrait Explorer touch-screens in the IT Gallery or on the Gallery website at www.npg.org.uk Sandy Nairne DIRECTOR THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY is a place to which MY FAVOURITE I go for many things, and one of them is to find peace PORTRAIT during a time of reflection.

Alex Prager: Farewell, Work Holiday Parties November 21, 2020–January 3, 2021 Los Angeles–based artist Alex Prager is known for making photographs and short films embellished with Technicolor fantasy but grounded in the pains and pleasures of the everyday. In this installation, Prager satirizes a specific part of working life, drawing on pop culture tropes to create a simulation of office holiday parties. The artist animates figurative sculptures with costumes, makeup, props, and sound, and places them in recognizable office-party situations, creating a strange yet celebratory scene that can be experienced in the round. “Through my work I’ve been able to process things in the world that I’m questioning or struggling with,” says Prager, “which is one of the many reasons I feel this piece is important for the current social climate. Right now, during this strange and life-altering time, many of us are reprioritizing our lives and figuring out what actually matters to us.” Curators: Liz Andrews, Director’s Office and Rita Gonzalez, Contemporary Art, LACMA Credit: This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The writing fizzes with the excitement of connecting the countless different strands of the composer's artistic influences and inspirations. I was entranced and delighted throughout.”—Richard Goode, Grammy Award–winning concert pianist and teacher “Debussy's Paris presents a unique and panoramic view of this remarkably rich time in the history of both music and a changing world. It will delight both musicians and non-musicians alike.”— Gilbert Kalish, pianist, distinguished professor at Stony Brook University and artist member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Debussy’s Paris: Portraits of the Belle Époque takes readers on a tour of Paris through detailed descriptions of the city’s diversions and the music Debussy wrote reflecting them. Catherine Kautsky explores how key works reveal not only the most appealing aspects of Paris, but also the more disquieting attitudes of the time. In contrast to the childlike innocence of fairy tales, minstrel shows had racist overtones, colonization entailed domination, and the brooding nationalism of the era was rife with hostility. Debussy left no avenue unexplored, and his piano works present a sweeping overview of the passions, vices, and obsessions of the era’s Parisians.

  • An Exploration of Salvador Dalí's “Society Portraits”
    ©Rev. Robert Keffer, 2021 Moguls, Matrons, and Aristocracy: An Exploration of Salvador Dalí’s “Society Portraits” from the 1940’s Through the 1960’s By Rev. Robert Keffer, OSB What is the Society Portrait? How do art critics and historians define the society portrait? The first definition that might come to mind may be pejorative: a slick, glossy and flattering depiction of an unattractive person, who happened to be blessed with money and pedigree. Many would consider the society portrait a hack job; something the artist creates to pay the bills and/or to gain entré into a higher level of society. This criticism has been applied especially to the portraiture styles of the late 19th century, and the continuation of their style to the current time: portraiture that is academic/realist, and follows mainly the techniques of John Singer Sargent and his imitators. Current revisionist criticism, however, will show that the society portrait can and often does have lasting artistic merit. Consider, for instance, the famous Portrait of Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough and Her Son, Lord Ivor Spencer-Churchill (1906), by Giovanni Boldini. Grace Glueck in her New York Times article, “Society Portraits of Giovanni Boldini”, considers this famous work nothing more than “a frothy meringue… an almost erotic tableau in which a beautiful small boy sprawls against the slender body of his vivacious mother, who is regally ensconced on a Louis XV settee, and clad in a long splash of shimmering satin.”1 However, Ms. Glueck, in the same article, states that Boldini could also do work of real character with “his vibrant 1897 rendering of a world-weary Whistler, for instance, lounging against a chair back, his head supported by an eloquently ‘artistic’ hand and a wonderful self-portrait of 1911 in which, his portly little body half-turned to the viewer, he seems to regard with jaded eyes a rogue's gallery of subjects visible only to him.”2 Boldini aside, history refutes the theory that the society portrait has always been and always will be empty flattery and vain show.

What art was produced as a response to these grievances while also building community? ■ How did graffiti play a role in advancing the hip-hop movement? ● 90s ○ Michael Jordan and Sneakers ■ Jordans quickly became incorporated into streetwear, so they were always in high demand. Because Jordans were vastly consumed by Black people, Jordans quickly became associated with crime and violence. ● Spike Lee commercial ○ Streetwear, Urbanwear and Luxury Brands ■ Luxury Designers, and NY Fashion week had a disdain for urban fashion. Not only was the word “urban” synonymous to “ghetto”, but this label was used to exclude black designers, and people from big media platforms, fashion shows and stores.
