  • Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary
    Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.

  • Sonja Sekula's Time May Have Finally Come
    PETER BLUM GALLERY Sonja Sekula’s Time May Have Finally Come Sekula was part of a number of different overlapping scenes, and she was loved and thought highly of by many. And then nearly everything about her and her work got forgotten. GALLERIES | WEEKEND By John Yau Saturday April 29, 2017 Sonja Sekula (1918-1963) piqued my curiosity when I first saw some of her works just a few months ago. Still, I was not sure what to expect when I went to the current exhibition Sonja Sekula: A Survey at Peter Blum Gallery (April 21 – June 24, 2017). I had known that this troubled, Swiss-born artist was part of an international circle of artists, writers, choreographers, and composers in New York in the 1940s, when she was in her early twenties, and that since her death by suicide in 1963, she and her work have largely been effaced from history. But aside from a few biographical facts and the handful of works I saw, I knew little else, but it was more than enough to bring me back. Ethnique, (1961), gouache on paper, 20 1/8 x 20 1/8 inches (all images courtesy Peter Blum At one point, while circling the Gallery, New York) galleries two space for the second or third time, I stopped to peer into a vitrine and saw photographs of a young woman sitting in the apartment of Andre Breton when he lived in New York during World War II. In another photograph she and sister are hugging Frida Kahlo, who is recuperating in a New York hospital room.

  • A Guide for Holders of the International Association of Art Card Prepared with Contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská Výtvarná Únia) 2017
    A guide for holders of the International Association of Art card Prepared with contributions from the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (Slovenská výtvarná únia) 2017 The International Association of Art (IAA/AIAP) is a non-governmental organization working in official partnership with UNESCO. Its objectives are to stimulate international cooperation among visual artists of all countries, nations or peoples, to improve the socio-economic position of artists nationally and internationally, and to defend their material and moral rights. The IAA issues identity cards to professional visual artists. This card allows free or discounted admission to many galleries and museums in countries around the world. The card is a tool for the lifelong education of artists in their professional artistic research. These institutions, large or small, recognize the benefit they gain from enabling the artists, like art critics and journalists, to visit exhibitions, art events and collections of art, to carry on research, and to gain inspiration. As a member within the IAA network, CARFAC National issues IAA cards exclusively to Canadian professional artists that are members of CARFAC upon request. Only National Committees of the IAA may issue the card. Where to use the IAA card This document includes a chart detailing selected institutions that offer free or discounted admission prices, or other perks to IAA card holders while travelling abroad. This information was obtained from surveying recent users of the card and IAA National Committees worldwide, and is updated regularly – most recently in 2017 by the Slovak Union of Visual Arts (SUVA). Users will find that different areas in Europe are more receptive to the card than others.

  • EASTERN AVANT-GARDE ORBIT II DIGITAL DELIGHTS | LIST NO. 4 DECEMBER 2019 Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends
    EASTERN AVANT-GARDE ORBIT II DIGITAL DELIGHTS | LIST NO. 4 DECEMBER 2019 Dear clients, colleagues and friends, I am hereby glad to present my new short list »Digital Delights«, edition no. 4. The following illustrated list contains 30 new arrivals as well as carefully selected items from my stock related to the Central and Eastern European Avant-Garde orbit. Illustrated books and magazines, each created by major proponents of Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Romanian, Russian and Yugoslavian avant-garde movements from the 1920s and 1930s are waiting to be discovered by you. Highlights include the first ever printed poems by Paul Celan (pos. 1), the striking "Moholy- Nagy issue" of the Hungarian periodical MA (7), the spectacularly covered magazine »Kreisā Fronte« from Latvia (8-11), »The Adventures of The Five Little Roosters Gang«, probably the most breathtaking of all surrealist children books (29), and some particularly rare Bulgarian items, created by a short lifted but nevertheless fervent modernist scene around Geo Milev (please also consider my monograph »Bulgarian Modernism. Books and Magazines 1919-1934« still available in my web-shop). The list is in alphabetical order and the descriptions are mainly done in English, some of them in German language however. English translations on demand. So, please enjoy browsing, watching and reading, and of course I am very much looking forward to your feedback and orders. Yours, 1 1 Paul CELAN: [Drei Gedichte in] Agora. Colecție internațională de artă și literatură [Internationale Sammlung von Kunst und Literatur]. Îngrijită de [Hg. v.] Ion Caraion și Virgil Ierunca.

Yes, I am immersed in our Russian work, in one of the most [ B ] difficult tasks that will ever exist. I know that we won’t be able to build a lot of flawless buildings here, that we won’t be able to produce wonderful material compositions, that we won’t even be able to implement pure floor plans and apartment types, maybe not even flawless city plans. [...] we are not working here with the intention of influencing how art develops and making new mate- rial available to art history, but rather because we are witnessing societal projects of modernism a great cultural-historical development that is almost unprecedent- reshaping the world ed in its scope and extent [...].»1 Stam describes his activities in Russia ex negativo, knowing full well that in doing so he is violating the well-established rela- tionship between himself and Giedion and all the rules of the game in the industry.

  • Surrealism in and out of the Czechoslovak New Wave
    Introduction Surrealism In and Out of the Czechoslovak New Wave Figure I.1 A poet’s execution. A Case for the Young Hangman (Případ pro začínajícího kata, Pavel Juráček, 1969) ©Ateliéry Bonton Zlín, reproduced by courtesy of Bonton Film. 2 | Avant-Garde to New Wave The abrupt, rebellious flowering of cinematic accomplishment in the Czechoslovakia of the 1960s was described at the time as the ‘Czech film miracle’. If the term ‘miracle’ referred here to the very existence of that audacious new cinema, it could perhaps also be applied to much of its content: the miraculous and marvellous are integral to the revelations of Surrealism, a movement that claimed the attention of numerous 1960s filmmakers. As we shall see, Surrealism was by no means the only avant-garde tradition to make a significant impact on this cinema. But it did have the most pervasive influence. This is hardly surprising, as Surrealism has been the dominant mode of the Czech avant-garde during the twentieth century, even if at certain periods that avant-garde has not explicitly identified its work as Surrealist. Moreover, the very environment of the Czech capital of Prague has sometimes been considered one in which Surrealism was virtually predestined to take root. The official founder of the Surrealist movement, André Breton, lent his imprimatur to the founding of a Czech Surrealist group when he remarked on the sublimely conducive locality of the capital, which Breton describes as ‘one of those cities that electively pin down poetic thought’ and ‘the magic capital of old Europe’.1 Indeed, it would seem a given that Czech cinema should evince a strong Surrealist tendency, especially when we consider the Surrealists’ own long-standing passion for this most oneiric of art forms.

  • Chapter 11 the Critical Reception of René Crevel
    Chapter 11 The Critical Reception of René Crevel: The 1920s and Beyond Paul Cooke Born in 1900, Crevel was slightly too young to participate fully in the Dada movement.1 However, while fulfilling his military service in Paris’s Latour-Maubourg barracks, he met a number of young men – including François Baron, Georges Limbour, Max Morise and Roger Vitrac – who shared his interest in Dada’s anarchic spirit. On 14 April 1921 Crevel, Baron, and Vitrac attended the visite-conférence organized by the Dadaists at the Parisian church of Saint-Julien-le- Pauvre. Afterwards the three of them met up with Louis Aragon, one of the organizers of the afternoon’s event. As a result of this meeting the periodical aventure was born, with Crevel named as gérant. Only three issues would appear, with the editorial team splitting in February 1922 over the preparation of the Congrès du Palais (with Vitrac supporting Breton and the organizing committee, while Crevel and the others refused to abandon Tzara). Crevel would again defend Tzara against the proto-Surrealist grouping during the staging of Le Cœur à gaz at the Théâtre Michel in July 1923. At the very start of his career as a writer, therefore, it is clear that Dada was a significant influence for Crevel.2 However, despite siding with Tzara in the summer of 1923, it would not be long before Crevel was reconciled with Breton, with the latter naming him in the 1924 Manifeste as one of those who had “fait acte de SURRÉALISME ABSOLU” (Breton 1988: 328). It is as a Surrealist novelist and essayist that Crevel is remembered in literary history.
