The OMC Gallery - NEW website - Special offers for a limited time only Pierre Alechinsky (1927 Belgium) One of the founders of the CoBrA group, whose dedication to primitive form and often violent strokes of color paralleled the American abstract expressionist movement. The group was formed as a reaction to the formal, refined art popular in other European cities immediately after World War II. The artist's style, anguished during the CoBrA period, softened perceptibly as acceptance for his art grew, but it remains strongly expressionistic. He is particularly adept at achieving subtleties and intensities of color in the lithographic process. The recipient of the Andrew Mellon Prize in 1977, Alechinsky is represented in the collections of sixty-five of the world's leading museums, incl. Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. He has also been honored with a permanent room in the Louisiana Museumin Denmark. The winner of the first Andrew W. Mellon Prize for Painting (1977) and the French Grand Prix National for painting in 1984, Alechinsky has been recognized in recent years as one of the most significant living artists. (The art market has also noticed his stature: one of his paintings sold at auction several years ago for over $2,000,000.) Alechinsky was just barely out of his teens when he burst onto the art scene as one of the original members of the COBRA group, and over the years he has emerged as one of the most imaginative and witty artists of our times. Alechinsky fans are everywhere. John Russell, who in 1986-87 devoted three separate columns in The New York Times to Alechinsky, sees him as "a man of strange blameless passions. Decorated invoices, worthless stock certificates, obsolete air-force navigational charts and ancient hand- written archival materials spark his imagination. He has a taste for natureʼs upheavals." Carlos Fuentes, the Mexican novelist for whom "the garden is the center of the world," has described Alechinsky as a man who "paints gardens. He knows that the history of gardens is the history of all of us. Alechinsky . chooses any of the forked paths of the manicured gardens at Blois or Hampton Court and then transforms them, ferociously, into the savage gardens of the primitive mind, the original unity of dream and awareness, reason and imagination, desire and reality." Indeed, it may be that it is his dream of recovering that lost unity that makes him, as The Times called him, "a poet of entanglement, [who] resolutely turns the emphasis away from himself, preferring to act rather as historian and referee than as autobiographer. His touch is light, his thought rapid, his view of the world as sharp as it is benign. There is no better companion, and not many who keep us so consistently amused and are so generous with their findings." Alechinsky has had major retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art and The Guggenheim Museum in NY, The Museum of Arts, Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh (in 1977, the Year of the Snake), The Palais des Beaux-Arts and the Musées Royeaux des beaux Arts in Brussels, the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Vile de Paris and the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Boymans-von-Beuningen in All prices donʼt include sales tax, shipping, mats and frames The OMC Gallery - NEW website - Special offers for a limited time only Rotterdam, the Louisiana Museum in Humlebaek, and museums in Aalborg, Brême, Copenhagen, Darmstadt, Des Moines, Düsseldorf, Gordes, Hanover, Marseille, Metz, Mexico City, Munich, St. Paul de Vence, Toronto, and Zurich.

Herman Leonard (born 1923 in Allentown, Pennsylvania) is an American photographer known for his unique images of jazz icons. Leonard earned a BFA in photography in 1947 from Ohio University, although his college career was interrupted by a tour of duty in the U.S. Army during World War II. In the military he served as a medical technician in Burma, while attached to Chiang Kai Shek's Chinese troops fighting the Japanese. After graduation, Leonard apprenticed with portraitist Yousuf Karsh for one year. Karsh gave him valuable experience photographing celebrities and public personalities such as Albert Einstein, Harry Truman and Martha Graham. All prices donʼt include sales tax, shipping, mats and frames The OMC Gallery - NEW website - Special offers for a limited time only In 1948 Leonard opened his first studio at 220 Sullivan Street in New York's Greenwich Village. Working free-lance for various magazines, he spent his evenings at the Royal Roost and then Birdland where he photographed the ongoing roster of jazz musicians such as Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and others. The number of shots possible at a time was limited. Using glass negatives at this time, Leonard increased the sensitivity of the plates by exposing them to mercury vapor. After working for jazz record producer Norman Granz, who used his work on album sleeves, Leonard was employed in 1956 by Marlon Brando as his personal photographer to document an extensive research trip in the Far East. Following his return, he moved to Paris, photographing assignments in the fashion and advertising business and as European correspondent for Playboy Magazine. Leonard's last flurry of photographing jazz musicians dates from this period. Among the features he shot, one behind the Iron Curtain nearly landed him in a Polish jail.[citation needed] In 1980, Leonard, with his wife Elisabeth and two children, Shana and David, moved from Paris to the island of Ibiza, where he remained until 1988 when he relocated to London with his children. It was here that Leonard had his first exhibition of his work at the Special Photographers Company in Notting HIll.

Photographing in nightclubs, Leonard captured the intensity and passion of jazz’s leading history remains his most remarkable achievement. Jazz and Civil Rights jazz music’s popularity in the 20th century helped prevent complete segregation. With the rise of in-home radios and music clubs, jazz music reached beyond African American communities to the homes of Whites and Latinos. As a symptom of the segregated music industry, record companies in the early 1900s produced blues and jazz music called race records. This music was for black audiences by black musicians. When a jazz song sold well in the African American community, white record companies would remake the song with white musicians to sell to white audiences. As the demand for race records grew, black records featuring black musicians were sold to white audiences. In the 1920s, the radio made jazz more accessible to white audiences. Although restricted and sometimes criticized as too “exotic,” music made by African Americans was being heard forces often created frivolous citations to prevent interracial crowds at jazz clubs.

    Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism

    FIRING THE CANON: MULTIPLE INSULARITIES IN JAZZ CRITICISM By © 2014 Christopher Robinson Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker ________________________________ Randal Jelks ________________________________ Tony Bolden ________________________________ John Gennari ________________________________ William J Harris Date Defended: April 7, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for Christopher Robinson certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Firing the Canon: Multiple Insularities in Jazz Criticism ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie Tucker Date approved: April 7, 2014 ii ABSTRACT Whereas many jazz scholars focus on jazz criticism's construction and implications of a single, or insular, jazz canon, this dissertation argues that what many jazz critics do is precisely the opposite. These critics disrupt the sense of a singular and insular jazz canon by challenging it through the creation of what I call an insularity, which is a bounded collection of artists and music with a definable tradition, values and established criteria which regulates what is suitable for inclusion. This dissertation argues that jazz does not consist of a single canon and music that exists beyond the canon's boundaries; rather, jazz contains multiple insularities that challenge the canon and vie for the opportunity to overthrow the canon in order to reach canonical status. This dissertation conceptualizes jazz critics as cultural authorities who create or deconstruct insularities through a variety of race, gender and nation projects. It examines the criticism of Leonard Feather, Val Wilmer and Nathaniel Mackey to highlight the numerous ways in which critics engage with multiple insularities.

    The Influence of Chinese Calligraphy on Western Informel Painting Was Published in German in 1985

    Marguerite Müller-Yao 姚 慧 The Influence of Dr.Marguerite Hui Müller-Yao 2000 Chinese Calligraphy From 1964 – 2014 a Chinese artist was resident in Germany: Dr. Marguerite Hui Müller-Yao. She learned in China traditional Chinese arts - calligraphy, ink painting, poetry – before studying Western modern art in Germany. The subject of her artistic and scientific work was an attempt of a synthesis on between the old traditions of China and the ways and forms of thought and design of modern Western culture. In her artistic work she searched on one hand to develop the traditional ink Western Informel painting and calligraphy through modern Western expression, on the other Marguerite Müller-Yao hand to deepen the formal language of modern painting, graphics and object art by referring back to the ideas of Chinese calligraphic tradition and Painting the principles of Chinese ink painting. In her academic work she was dedicated to the investigation of the relations between the Western Informel Painting and Chinese Calligraphy. This 中國書法藝術對西洋繪畫的影響 work, which deals with the influence of the art of Chinese Calligraphy on the Western Informel painting is an attempt to contribute a little to the understanding of some of the essential aspects of two cultures and their relations: the Western European-American on one hand and the East-Asian, particularly the Chinese, on the other hand. The subject of this work concerns an aspect of intercultural relations between the East and the West, especially the artistic relations between Eastern Asia and Europe/America in Düsseldorf 2015 a certain direction, from the East to the West.
