In addition every scrap of paper, no matter this period, providing a key insight into his environ and his artistic how small, was drawn upon with country scenes, tiny seascapes, and development.

He preferred old papers of the previous century, made collections. Much of what remained was bequeathed to his second son, from real rags. His sketches, whether in crayon or pencil, were always Michel Monet, including the artist’s letters and childhood sketchbooks, excellent, even if they were rapidly executed.

  • Giacometti Retrospective to Be Held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc
    ARCHIVE ACQUAVELLA GALLERIES Giacometti retrospective to be held at New York's Acquavella Galleries Inc. Acquavella's good name has guaranteed the participation of several distinguished lenders JASON EDWARD KAUFMAN 1st November 1994 01:00 BST Acquavella Galleries Inc. are presenting a museum-quality retrospective of seventy-three works by Alberto Giacometti. The exhibition, until 10 December, comprises sixty-three sculptures and ten paintings dating from the early 1920s until 1965, the year before the artist’s death. The collection includes signature works such as “Woman with her Throat Cut”, “The Invisible Object (Hands Holding the Void)’, “The Pointing Man”, “The Walking Man’, “The Nose”, “The Hand, The Chariot”, and five of “The Women of Venice”. The range of museum, dealer, and private loans from here and abroad attest to Mr Acquavella’s daunting reputation, a presence fortified by his 1989 acquisition in partnership with Sotheby’s of the Pierre Matisse estate, the source for a number of the exhibited works. Gallery exhibitions of Giacometti have not been wanting in Manhattan. Larry Gagosian had twenty-one works in a career-spanning show last year, and this summer Chozo Yoshii assembled fifteen, pre-1930 pieces, along with the artist’s “Tentative Catalogue of Early Works” and famous letter to Pierre Matisse. New York museums have been less attentive to the Swiss- born master; the last retrospectives were held at the Guggenheim twenty- one years ago, and at the Museum of Modern Art in 1965. (Major shows mounted by the Hirshhorn (1988-89) and the Museum of Modern in Paris (1991-92) did not travel.) The Acquavella catalogue contains essays by Giacometti biographer James Lord and former critic for the New York Times, Michael Brenson.

WALLY FINDLAY GALLERIES 124 East 57th Street, New York, NY (212) 421 5390 [email protected] Aïzpiri Paul Aïzpiri (b. 1919) was born in Paris on May 14, 1919. Aïzpiri entered l’École Bulle to learn antique restoration, after his father insisted that he first learn a trade as a means of assuring his livelihood. After the course he entered the Beaux-Arts to study painting. Aïzpiri was certainly encouraged as a young painter in his early 20’s, during somber war-torn France, exhibiting amongst the painters of l’École Pont-Aven and the Nabis. He became a member of the Salon d’Automne in 1945, won Third Prize at the Salon de Moins de Trente Ans, of which he was a founding member and later showed at the Salon “Les Peintres Témoin de leur Temps”. In 1948, Aïzpiri won the Prix Corsica which allowed him to go to Marseilles. His stay there so impressed him, that he declared it was a turning point of his art. Not only did he find a whole new world to paint which was far different subjectively from any life he had known in Paris, but also a new world of color.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

Our museum is thus still a relative newcomer on the international scene. Nonetheless, in this fairly short period, the Van Gogh Museum has established itself as one of the liveliest institutions of its kind, with a growing reputation for its collections, exhibitions and research programmes. The past year has been marked by particular success: the Van Gogh and Gauguin exhibition attracted record numbers of visitors to its Amsterdam venue. And in this Journal we publish our latest acquisitions, including Manet's The jetty at Boulogne-sur-mer, the first important work by this artist to enter any Dutch public collection. By a happy coincidence, our 30th anniversary coincides with the 150th of the birth of Vincent van Gogh. As we approach this milestone it seemed to us a good moment to reflect on the current state of Van Gogh studies. For this issue of the Journal we asked a number of experts to look back on the most significant developments in Van Gogh research since the last major anniversary in 1990, the centenary of the artist's death. Our authors were asked to filter a mass of published material in differing areas, from exhibition publications to writings about fakes and forgeries. To complement this, we also invited a number of specialists to write a short piece on one picture from our collection, an exercise that is intended to evoke the variety and resourcefulness of current writing on Van Gogh.
