  • Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting
    FIRST COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF RENOIR’S FULL-LENGTH CANVASES BRINGS TOGETHER ICONIC WORKS FROM EUROPE AND THE U.S. FOR AN EXCLUSIVE NEW YORK CITY EXHIBITION RENOIR, IMPRESSIONISM, AND FULL-LENGTH PAINTING February 7 through May 13, 2012 This winter and spring The Frick Collection presents an exhibition of nine iconic Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, offering the first comprehensive study of the artist’s engagement with the full-length format. Its use was associated with the official Paris Salon from the mid-1870s to mid- 1880s, the decade that saw the emergence of a fully fledged Impressionist aesthetic. The project was inspired by Renoir’s La Promenade of 1875–76, the most significant Impressionist work in the Frick’s permanent collection. Intended for public display, the vertical grand-scale canvases in the exhibition are among the artist’s most daring and ambitious presentations of contemporary subjects and are today considered masterpieces of Impressionism. The show and accompanying catalogue draw on contemporary criticism, literature, and archival documents to explore the motivation behind Renoir’s full-length figure paintings as well as their reception by critics, peers, and the public. Recently-undertaken technical studies of the canvases will also shed new light on the artist’s working methods. Works on loan from international institutions are La Parisienne from Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), Dance at Bougival, 1883, oil on canvas, 71 5/8 x 38 5/8 inches, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Picture Fund; photo: © 2012 Museum the National Museum Wales, Cardiff; The Umbrellas (Les Parapluies) from The of Fine Arts, Boston National Gallery, London (first time since 1886 on view in the United States); and Dance in the City and Dance in the Country from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris.

  • 15 Years of Research, More Than 30 Studies
    Greater Columbus Arts Council Ticket Fee Proposal to Columbus City Council The Greater Columbus Arts Council’s Ticket Fee proposal is for a 7% fee on admissions and tickets in the city of Columbus, with 70 percent of the funds to be reinvested by the Arts Council back into the community in the form of grants to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and artists, and 30 percent used for critically needed capital improvements for Nationwide Arena, a public facility in the center of a major Columbus business and residential neighborhood. Two key exemptions recommended by the Arts Council after holding a series of public forums include: Tickets and admissions priced $10 and under at for-profit and nonprofit live arts and sports venues. Live performances and events at for-profit and nonprofit venues with occupancy of 400 or less. The full details of the proposal and accompanying research can be found at: www.gcac.org/impact-of-the-arts/columbus-ticket-fee-proposal/ This proposal is good for the city and people of Columbus because: Non-profit arts and culture and professional sports and entertainment attractions are major reasons Columbus has grown and thrived as a premier community. These dynamic sectors are responsible for thousands of jobs, billions in economic benefits, endless opportunities for children and families, and critical energy for our quality of life. But, additional public investment is needed to prevent the erosion of quality offerings and facilities for these two vital sectors – and to keep them working to produce all the economic, educational and quality-of-life benefits for our community.

There is a new legacy map in the making, and how we respond will define our generation. For this work, we bring both a compass and a calling. We have no idea of what will land on the shoreline of tomorrow, but we are ready to respond. We understand that, as ancient Greek text reads, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty (and, we might add, health and justice). We can’t rest on an amazing 75-year track record as an organization, for, as Aldous Huxley once said, “Experience is not what happens to you, it’s what you do with what happens to you.” FROM LEFT: Douglas F.
