Carles and His Expanding Circle: An Exhibition in Honor of Frances M. Maguire August 20, 2016–March 19, 2017 Lecture: The Unbroken Circle: The Expressive Colors of Philadelphia Painters Saturday, November 12, 1:00 p.m. Lecturer: Bill Scott, artist Open house: Saturday, November 12, 2:00–4:00 p.m. Arthur B. Carles and His Expanding Circle tells the story of Arthur B. Carles (1882–1952) and his influence on the development of modernism and abstract painting in Philadelphia. Best known for his daring use of color and the verve of his personality, Carles was an influential instructor at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) who embraced the modern age and introduced his students to the work and ideas of European avant-garde. This exhibition offers a rich account of Carles and the generations of artists inspired by him—distinguished students of his circle who became leading modernist voices in Harry Bertoia: In conjunction with the outdoor installation, Philadelphia, such as Morris Blackburn, Quita Free Interpretations this exhibition features a number of Brodhead, and Jane Piper.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 LIGHT AND SIGHT IN TER BRUGGHEN’S MAN WRITING BY CANDLELIGHT Susan Donahue Kuretsky Ter Brugghen’s Man Writing by Candlelight is commonly seen as a vanitas tronie of an old man with a flickering candle. Reconsideration of the figure’s age and activity raises another possibility, for the image’s pointed connection between light and sight and the fact that the figure has just signed the artist’s signature and is now completing the date suggests that ter Brugghen—like others who elevated the role of the artist in his period—was more interested in conveying the enduring aliveness of the artistic process and its outcome than in reminding the viewer about the transience of life.

  • ARNOLD BOONEN (Dordrecht 1669 – 1729 Amsterdam)
    VP3732 ARNOLD BOONEN (Dordrecht 1669 – 1729 Amsterdam) A Boy playing a Flute to a young Woman making a Garland of Flowers in a wooded Landscape Signed, lower right On canvas – 19⅛ x 15¾ in (48.5 x 40 cm) PROVENANCE Sir John Harrowing, Low Stakesby, Whitby, Yorkshire, purchased between 1895 and 1937 By descent to the previous owner NARRATIVE From 1683 to 1689 Arnold Boonen was a pupil in Dordrecht of Godfried Schalcken (1634- 1706), who had studied in the early 1660s with the celebrated Leiden fijnschilder Gerrit Dou (1613-1675). This charming painting, with its delicacy of handling and refined, idealised subject matter, follows in the tradition of Dou and Schalcken. It was probably executed in the early to mid 1690s, after Boonen had finished his apprenticeship and before he set out to make his fortune as a portrait painter around 1695, travelling to Frankfurt-am-Main, Mainz and Darmstadt. He settled in Amsterdam in 1696 and succeeded Nicolas Maes as the most fashionable portrait painter in the city. Sitting in a forest embowered by an oak tree, a young woman weaves a garland or crown of flowers while a boy plays to her on a flute. The Arcadian life of country folk was a popular theme in poetry and prose of the seventeenth century, both in Holland and England. There is a dreamy eroticism about the young woman, with her pearly skin, abstracted gaze and elegant hands. The flute-playing boy emerges from the shadows and looks directly at us, as if inviting comments on her beauty. The pearls and flowers bound into the girl’s hair, the graceful sweep of her neck and the soft lines of her arms reflect the harmony of the composition.

    LORENA AMORÓS BLASCO1 Estrategias discursivas en la ideación de un proyecto artístico a partir de la biografía y la obra de Rachel Ruysch2 Discursive Strategies in the Ideation of an Artistic Project Based on the Biography and the Work of Rachel Ruysch RESUMEN En el presente artículo trataremos de recuperar la figura de Rachel Ruysch (La Haya, 1664 - Ámsterdam, 1750) y su legado. Rastrearemos datos historiográficos de su vida y su obra, partiendo del análisis del cuadro del pintor holandés Jan van Neck, que lleva el título de Lección de anatomía del Dr. Frederick Ruysch (1683), para vincular después su trabajo con nuestra obra artística a través del anacronismo crítico como estrategia. Así pues, desde una dimensión pictórica, interdisciplinar y limítrofe con otras fórmulas contemporáneas de la representación, reflexionaremos sobre la relación autobiografía-anacronismo como base metodológica para abordar cuestiones como la multiplicidad temporal y la discontinuidad de los relatos históricos en el espacio discursivo de lo femenino. En este sentido, explicaremos cómo la autobiografía nos permite encontrar vínculos con otros ámbitos de subjetividad para reivindicar así un imaginario feminista que nos ayude a reflexionar sobre la forma en que recibimos la cultura. Palabras clave: autobiografía, anacronismo, temporalidad, proyectos artísticos. ABSTRACT This essay tries to recover the figure of Rachel Ruysch (The Hague, 1664 - Amsterdam, 1750) and her legacy. We will trace historical data of her life and work, making an analysis of the dutch painter Jan van Neck`s picture: Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Frederick Ruysch (1683). Through critical anachronism as a strategy we will try to link her work with our own artistic work.

In any case, he was living in Dordrecht again around 1669.[4] In October 1679 Schalcken married Francoisia van Diemen (1661–1744) from Breda, the daughter of Christoffel van Diemen (d. 1661), an officer in the State army, and Elisabeth Beens (d. 1661), who came from a prominent Breda family.[5] Schalcken and his wife had seven children, of whom only their daughter Francoisia (b.

  • Hollis Taggart Opens Exhibition of Works by Artist Bill Scott at the Pierre
    Hollis Taggart Opens Exhibition of Works by Artist Bill Scott at The Pierre On View through June 5, 2019 Opening Reception March 12, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM Hollis Taggart, in partnership with The Pierre, is presenting a focused exhibition of work by artist Bill Scott in the hotel’s Two E Bar and Lounge, located at 2 E. 61st Street. The exhibition, which is part of an ongoing series at the hotel, will feature eight of Scott’s vividly-colored and exuberant abstract paintings, creating a dynamic contrast to Two E’s formal Neoclassical interior. Bill Scott at The Pierre will remain on view through June 5, 2019. The Pierre will hold an opening reception on March 12, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. RSVP is required for attendance. Scott’s paintings radiate with life—the luminescent fields of color, geometric forms, and vivid lines arabesque-ing, melding, and re-emerging across the surface plane. Although the works suggest a rapid hand, Scott’s process is deliberately meditative. Over periods of weeks, months, and, even in certain cases, years, Scott works to build texture and depth, in instances layering the oil paint and in others scraping it away. Lines, contours, and colors are emphasized. Areas of the canvas are applied with thin, almost transparent, paint, to create contrasts of density and opacity. Together, these effects produce a vibrant sense of movement that suggest a joyful and ecstatic scene or moment. Scott’s vivid compositions are inspired by nature and filtered through the artist’s imaginings of an idealized paradise.

  • Staging Orson Welles
    STAGING ORSON WELLES Matthew Christopher Gretzinger A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2010 Committee: Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Dr. Stephannie Gearhart Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Scott Magelssen Dr. Cynthia Baron ii ABSTRACT Dr. Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this study I consider the legacy of Orson Welles as a stage figure puppeted in a collective theatre of memory. The study builds on Jonathan Rosenbaum's observation that Welles remains a "mythical and ideological creature" and a "site for the acting out of various fantasies." Referencing Marvin Carlson's The Haunted Stage and Joseph Roach's Cities of the Dead, I apply their insights to three plays that feature Welles as a pivotal character: Jason Sherman's It's All True, Austin Pendleton's Orson's Shadow, and the Naomi Iizuka-Anne Bogart collaboration, War of the Worlds. My central concern is to consider the ways we remember and stage Welles and, in light of Rosenbaum's insight, to also question the myths and ideologies those stagings act out. A corollary to my interrogation of Welles's stage figure as a site of memory is my conviction that the collective memory of Welles's life and work might be staged more usefully. The plays considered approach Welles from different perspectives. However, all – to varying degrees – assess negative judgments. Welles's legacy has been subject to conflicting interpretations, and the arbitration of his historical and remembered significance is a process with important consequences.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ashley Park [email protected] 212-628-4000 Bill Scott: Imagining Spring March 10 – April 16, 2016 Hollis Taggart Galleries presents an exhibition of Bill Scott’s recent paintings, Bill Scott: Imagining Spring, opening on March 10, 2016, with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. In addition to large-scale paintings, the show will also include four examples of the artist’s prints. Scott, born in 1956, lives and works in his native Philadelphia. Imagining Spring is Scott’s sixth exhibition at Hollis Taggart and his first in three years. These new paintings bear ample traces of the singular approach to medium and color that has marked his productions over the past two decades, but at the same time they signal a new individuality in his art. Comprised of 24 paintings, there is a wide variety, from low and wide landscape orientated works to a new tondo format. All bear Scott’s characteristically coloristic approach, with activated surfaces formed of interweaving related tones in broad washes, scumbles, and glazes. The artist paints using brushes, knives, and in frottage techniques that expand the textural range of the laid pigments, resulting in remarkable surfaces comprised of shimmering planes of radiant color. Despite the considerable amount of visible gesture, the canvases are without impasto. The expressive energy that Scott achieves in the absence of relief is a remarkable testament to years spent honing his technique. Late October (2015), Bird’s Nest (2015), and Lovely Weather (2015) represent Scott at his most richly individualized, confident in manner and execution in pictures that despite their cacophony of swirls, lines, slashes, overlaid forms, tones, and compositional variety from inch to inch, feel fully resolved.

There will be specially curated exhibitions in the Atrium and Mezzanine that offer the chance to view the original contracts for Peter Cushing and Sir Christopher Lee at Hammer and Truman Capote’s handwritten screenplay for The Innocents (1961), plus Mediatheque programmes from the BFI National Archive, horribly good Family Fundays, education events and panel discussions, while across the length and breadth of the UK, GOTHIC will thrill audiences with fantastic screenings and restored films, starting with Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) on 31 October.
