WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

Right: Alexander Calder, Untitled, c. 1952. © 2020 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. Philadelphia, PA — February 20, 2020—A new sanctuary dedicated to the art of Alexander Calder, one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century, will be created in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. Herzog & de Meuron has been selected to design the new cultural facility, which will feature bespoke galleries and gardens presenting a rotating selection of masterworks from the Calder Foundation, including mobiles, stabiles, monumental sculptures, and paintings. The nonprofit initiative, which will be formally named in the coming months, has been launched by a group of Philadelphia philanthropists working in collaboration with the Calder Foundation and in partnership with the City of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Tuned specifically for the presentation of Calder’s work, the spaces and gardens will unfold as a choreographed progression that will move viewers beyond the traditional museum experience to engage with the work in the way the artist intended—as a personal, real-time encounter. The facility will include opportunities to explore works by Calder’s parents, the artists Alexander Stirling Calder and Nanette Lederer Calder, and his grandfather Alexander Milne Calder, all of whom had deep ties to Philadelphia.

  • A Semiótica Da Escultura Antonio Vicente Seraphim Pietroforte*
    estudos semióticos www.revistas.usp.br/esse issn 1980-4016 vol. 14, no 1 março de 2018 semestral p. 144–157 A semiótica da escultura Antonio Vicente Seraphim Pietroforte* Resumo: Ao que tudo indica, a semiótica narrativa e discursiva proposta por Greimas e colaboradores tem, além de sua vocação teórica, tendência de ser testada em aplicações analíticas nos mais variados tipos de discurso e sistemas de significação. Desde os primeiros trabalhos de divulgação científica, isso está presente: em Introdução à semiótica narrativa e discursiva, de J. Courtés – tradução para o Português de 1979 –, há análises do conto de fadas da Cinderela; em Semiótica da narrativa, de N. Everaert-Desmedt – tradução para o Português de 1984 –, há análises dos Labirintos de Espelhos e Trens Fantasmas dos parques de diversões. Ora, essa vocação, na análise das artes plásticas, certamente tem em Jean-Marie Floch um de seus mais criativos representantes; Floch é célebre por suas aplicações da semiótica no estudo do cinema, do teatro, da pintura, da fotografia, da história em quadrinhos, da arquitetura, do discurso publicitário. Quanto à análise da escultura, comparada à análise dos demais sistemas de significação, pouco foi dito. Desse modo, buscando preencher essas lacunas, nosso trabalho vai ao encontro da aplicação da semiótica à análise da escultura em duas frentes: a escultura enquanto texto; a escultura enquanto objeto de valor. Palavras-chave: semiótica, texto, discurso, artes plásticas, escultura A semiótica de escultura começa, necessariamente, com a escolha da teoria utilizada em sua abordagem: se a opção é a semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce, a escultura é descrita por meio de relações entre signos, responsáveis pela significação da escultura em meio a essas redes de relações; se a opção é a semiótica de Algirdas Julien Greimas, a escultura é entendida en- quanto texto, sua significação se realiza em processos narrativos e discursivos.

  • Bio Calder, Alexander
    237 East Palace Avenue Santa Fe, NM 87501 800 879-8898 505 989-9888 505 989-9889 Fax [email protected] Alexander Calder (American Sculptor, 1898-1976) Credited with the invention of the mobile, Alexander Calder revolutionized twentieth- century art with his innovative use of subtle air currents to animate sculpture. An accomplished painter of gouaches and sculptor in a variety of media, Calder is best known for poetic arrangements of boldly colored, irregularly shaped geometric forms that convey a sense of harmony and balance. Calder was born in a suburb of Philadelphia to a family of artists. His grandfather, Alexander Milne Calder, and father, Alexander Stirling Calder, created sculptures and public monuments, and his mother was a painter. Accustomed to traveling in pursuit of public art commissions, the family moved to Pasadena, California, in 1906. The new environment—with its expansive night sky studded with brilliant planets and stars—fascinated the young Calder. These cosmic forms strongly influenced the structure and iconography of his future work. At a young age, Calder began using tools and found materials to create various structures and inventions. This constructive impulse led him to attend the Stevens Institute of Technology, where he received a degree in mechanical engineering in 1919. Yet by 1922 he had abandoned his new career. After a stint as a seaman, Calder began formal art study at the Art Students League in New York in 1923. During this period, Calder worked as a freelance illustrator and often visited zoos and circuses to sketch. Calder moved to Paris in 1926, and during his seven-year stay he delighted fellow artists including Man Ray, Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Le Corbusier and Piet Mondrian and attracted the attention of art patrons with his whimsical wire figures and portrait heads.

  • My Way Calder in Paris
    THE STATE OF LETTERS 589 us are hard to take in. Or, once taken in, it is hard to keep the wall in perspec- tive for two reasons: one, because the break ofthe Romans witb Britain was a clean one. Around A.D. 400 the Romans left for good, and their memory faded so fast that, in tbe centuries that followed, the great illiterate major- ity thought the wall was the work of giants: "there were giants in the earth in those days," it was written in Genesis, so it must have been so. Second, the Latin legacy that included the documentation of the empire under the Christian cburcb was dismpted by paganism and tlie disorder of centuries before it was taken up by antiquarians in tbe sixteenth century. Bede, the monk of Jarrow, near the eastern end of tbe wall, who died in 735, wrote in A History ofthe English Church and People that, before they departed, the Romans built a stone wall to replace a turf rampart built by the emperor Severus from sea to sea: "This famous and still conspicuous wall was built from public and private resources, with the Britons lending assistance. It is eight feet in breadth, and twelve in height; and, as can be clearly seen to this day, ran straight from east to west." No mention of Hadrian, and little agree- ment with the time scale established by modem scholarship. History is written by tbe winners, said Ceorge Orwell. The Romans cer- tainly were winners, as appears in their accounts of Hadrian. But that is all.

  • IFEA Pinnacle Awards 61) Best Media Relations Campaign
    IFEA Pinnacle Awards 61) Best Media Relations Campaign a. Introduction The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s annual PHS Philadelphia Flower Show is the world’s longest-running and largest horticultural event. The Flower Show attracts extensive media attention and serves as one of Philadelphia’s signature events. This year’s extraordinary presentation was held March 1 through 9 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. The 2014 theme, “ARTiculture,” celebrated the fusion of art and horticulture. Beautiful flowers, gardens and landscapes have always been an inspiration for artists, while great horticultural design has become a form of living art. In an unprecedented collaboration of Flower Show designers and the nation’s great art museums, the Pennsylvania Convention Center was turned into a 10-acre living canvas of exquisite landscapes, gardens and floral arrangements. Audiences for the Flower Show have mainly come from the Greater Philadelphia region. They generally consist of people interested in gardening and horticultural activities. Many of them learn about the show through gardening media, including print, digital and broadcast outlets. They also learn about show attractions from mainstream broadcast media, including the show’s television partner, 6ABC, or through their daily newspapers, weekly neighborhood papers, online publications, the Flower Show website, and PHS social media platforms. The theme for the 2014 Flower Show provided an opportunity to reach a broad new audience of people interested in the visual arts. The partnerships with museums located across the United States, from Los Angeles to Raleigh, N.C., to Washington, D.C., to New York, and beyond, also opened up new possibilities to reach audiences who were not familiar with the Flower Show and media that saw fascinating new angles to one of the nation’s singular events.
