The foundation is housed in a four story townhouse, with the artist's dramatic sculpture studio on the ground floor (fig. 2). Gross built the studio in 1963 when he purchased the building. It was his final workspace after a long history of studios he had in the Village beginning in the 1930s.1 He and his wife Renee rented the second floor, and in the third floor living space, Gross installed a portion of what had grown to Fig. 1.

  • Discovering the Contemporary
    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • NATVAR BHAVSAR Claiming 'Color' As His Medium, Natvar Bhavsar Has Explored the Sensual, Emotional, and Intellectual Resonance of Color for Over 50 Years
    NATVAR BHAVSAR Claiming 'color' as his medium, Natvar Bhavsar has explored the sensual, emotional, and intellectual resonance of color for over 50 years. Born in 1934, Gothava, India, Natvar Bhavsar studied at the Seth CN College of Fine Arts in Ahmedabad. At the same time, he obtained a degree in English Literature from Gujarat University. He continued his education in America, at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Fine Arts, where he received his MFA in 1965. Upon graduating, Bhavsar received a John D. Rockefeller III Fund Fellowship, after which he taught for a few years at the University of Rhode Island. Bhavsar has shown widely in New York where he has been a longtime resident and central figure in the art world – one of the few remaining original artists from the SoHo school – along with a variety of gallery and museum exhibitions internationally. His paintings evince influences from his childhood in India, surrounded by vivid textiles, practicing rangoli, and witnessing the Holi Festival, and adulthood in New York in the 1970s. The artist is included in numerous public collections and institutions including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and the National Gallery of Australia. He also features in notable private collections in the US, Germany, France, India, Australia and the Middle East. Throughout his career, Bhavsar has been associated with a number of acclaimed artists, most prominently,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 * UXl -L1VUVU1U'^x M * ",l" " MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OPENS EXHIBITION OF GALDER MOBILES, STABILES, CONSTELLATIONS AND JEWELRY An American sculptor, peculiarly the product of his age and country, will be presented in a full-length retrospective exhibition Wednesday, September 29, when nearly one hundred sculptures, con­ structions, drawings, and pieces of Jewelry by Alexander Calder go on view at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibi­ tion, directed by James Johnson Sweeney assisted by Margaret Miller of the Museum staff, will be shown in the first floor galleries and sculpture garden of the Museum and will remain on view through Sunday, November 28. The installation has been designed by Herbert Matter, who has also takren many of the photographs for the catalog. Mr. Sweeney has written the text for the sixty-eight-page catalog illustrated with fifty-eight halftones, which the Museum is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition. €n his introduction Mr. Sweeney writes in part as follows: "Exuberance, buoyancy, vigor are characteristics of a young art. Humor, when it is a vitalizing force not a surface distraction, adds a dimension to dignity. Dignity is the product of an artists whole-hearted abandon to his work. All these are features of Alexander Calder1s work,together with a sensibility to materials that induces new forms and an insatiable interest in fresh patterns of order. "On the side of tradition, two generations of sculptors—father and grandfather—gave him an intimate familiarity with the grammar and conventions of art.

  • Interview with Philip Pearlstein Studio International by Janet Mckenzie
    Interview with Philip Pearlstein Studio International By Janet McKenzie Philip Pearlstein is one of the most important artists of the twentieth century who worked in an abstract expressionist style before shifting to large-scale formalist nudes constructed theatrically with a range of props from merry-go- round horses to the Eames chair. Pearlstein turns 92 this month yet he continues to work on large scale paintings where the nude figure is juxtaposed with a diverse range of objects: from crashed model aeroplanes to marionettes, a model of the White House that is in fact a birdcage, and richly patterned rugs and fabrics. A sense of enigmatic drama is created, perhaps alluding to the anachronistic nature of human existence, to the disconnect that exists between an individual and war and politics in the wider world. Pearlstein studied with Andy Warhol at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh after the war spent in Italy; they travelled together with Pearlstein’s future wife, Dorothy Cantor, also an art student, to New York where Pearlstein studied art history at New York University with Erwin Panofsky. His career has been hugely influential whilst consistently pursuing an independent path for over 60 years. In the lead up to a new exhibition of 170 of his wartime drawings, at the Betty Cuningham Gallery in New York, next month, Pearlstein speaks at length about his remarkable career. Janet McKenzie: You have been an active and productive artist for over 60 years, and so your career has taken place through numerous significant art world changes where you have played an important role.

    Press Release Paul Feeley: Space Stands Still 12 April – 6 June 2021 Waddington Custot is pleased to present Paul Feeley: Space Stands Still, the first solo exhibition of Feeley’s work in the UK for over 50 years. The exhibition shines a light on this significant but relatively overlooked artist who worked with Clement Greenberg and played a pivotal role in the careers of many seminal abstract artists, including Helen Frankenthaler. This exhibition charts the development of Feeley’s abstraction over the course of his brief but prolific career, presenting pieces from the 1950s through to those created just before his untimely death in 1966 at the age of 55. Over 20 works by Feeley, including oil on canvas paintings and three-dimensional sculptures in wood, are shown in the UK for the first time. The works are characterised by Feeley’s distinctive approach to symmetry and pattern through curving shapes in vibrant colours. The central forms and repeated motifs, often in symmetrical clusters, are reminiscent of vertebrae and teeth, molecular structures or jacks. Although often associated with Abstract Expressionism, Feeley broke with the movement in the 1940s. Speaking to Lawrence Alloway in 1964, the artist explained ‘I began to dwell on pyramids and things like that instead of on jungles of movement and action… The things I couldn’t forget in art, were things, which made no attempt to be exciting.’ And so Feeley’s work moved away from gestural abstraction and into ‘a quiescent art of stability, poise, and space’, as described by Douglas Dreishpoon in Imperfections by Chance (his 2015 essay on Feeley).
