    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

  • A Study on Connectivity and Accessibility Between Tram Stops and Public Facilities: a Case Study in the Historic Cities of Europe
    Urban Street Design & Planning 73 A study on connectivity and accessibility between tram stops and public facilities: a case study in the historic cities of Europe Y. Kitao1 & K. Hirano2 1Kyoto Women’s University, Japan 2Kei Atelier, Yame, Fukuoka, Japan Abstract The purpose of this paper is to understand urban structures in terms of tram networks by using the examples of historic cities in Europe. We have incorporated the concept of interconnectivity and accessibility between public facilities and tram stops to examine how European cities, which have built world class public transportation systems, use the tram network in relationship to their public facilities. We selected western European tram-type cities which have a bus system, but no subway system, and we focused on 24 historic cities with populations from 100,000 to 200,000, which is the optimum size for a large-scale community. In order to analyze the relationship, we mapped the ‘pedestrian accessible area’ from any tram station in the city, and analyzed how many public facilities and pedestrian streets were in this area. As a result, we were able to compare the urban space structures of these cities in terms of the accessibility and connectivity between their tram stops and their public facilities. Thus we could understand the features which determined the relationship between urban space and urban facilities. This enabled us to evaluate which of our target cities was the most pedestrian orientated city. Finally, we were able to define five categories of tram-type cities. These findings have provided us with a means to recognize the urban space structure of a city, which will help us to improve city planning in Japan.

  • Sigmar Polke: 'A Queer Journey...'
    Frontier Vol. 43, No. 11, Sep 26 –Oct 2, 2010 SIGMAR POLKE ‘A Queer Journey....’ Ritwika Misra Sigmar Polke, the painter-photographer has died of cancer on June 10. A central protagonist in post-war German art, Polke has been instrumental to bring about the laconic 'Modern Kunst' (the modem art movement from 1968) which was a tread away from the banality of genteel art. Born in 1941 at the height of world war in Lower Silesia, Polke at the age of 12 left the communist east with his family for Dusseldorf where he grew up in prosperity of the West Germany. This formative experience of crossing the borders underpinned his story of art. Satiating his initial artistic craving, being an apprentice in a stained glass factory he went on to study at the Dusseldorf Art Academy from 1961 to 1967. These years opened up a wider avenue for Polke to test his curious aesthetic intellect. The profound influence of his teacher Joseph Beuys shaped Polke's aptitude. As Robert Hughes wrote in Time, "He seems to have got two big things from Beuys: first, the ides of the artist as clown, shaman and alchemist; second, a healthy reluctance to believe in the final value of categories of style. Hence his early parodies of the sacred modes of Modernism." Even while studying at a conventional art academy Polke knew how to defy the laid out norms, imbibing a languid sarcasm in his creative output. In 1963 Polke and two fellow students, Gerhard Richter and Konrad Fischer-Leug, organized an exhibition entitled "Kapitalistischen Realismus" (Capitalist Realism).

  • Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973)
    Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973) Pablo Picasso is considered to be the greatest artist of the 20th century, the Grand Master primo assoluto of Modernism, and a singular force whose work and discoveries in the realm of the visual have informed and influenced nearly every artist of the 20th century. It has often been said that an artist of Picasso’s genius only comes along every 500 years, and that he is the only artist of our time who stands up to comparison with da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael – the grand triumvirate of the Italian Renaissance. Given Picasso’s forays into Symbolism, Primitivism, neo-Classicism, Surrealism, sculpture, collage, found-object art, printmaking, and post-WWII contemporary art, art history generally regards his pioneering of Cubism to have been his landmark achievement in visual phenomenology. With Cubism, we have, for the first time, pictorial art on a two-dimensional surface (paper or canvas) which obtains to the fourth dimension – namely the passage of Time emanating from a pictorial art. If Picasso is the ‘big man on campus’ of 20th century Modernism, it’s because his analysis of subjects like figures and portraits could be ‘shattered’ cubistically and re-arranged into ‘facets’ that visually revolved around themselves, giving the viewer the experience of seeing a painting in the round – all 360º – as if a flat work of art were a sculpture, around which one walks to see its every side. Inherent in sculpture, it was miraculous at the time that Picasso could create this same in-the-round effect in painting and drawing, a revolution in visual arts and optics.
