Mcgarrell Brochure.1 James McGarrell Themes and Variations August 5–October 30, 2005 What I call pictorial invention is nothing but memory, recombined and sprung into life by making colored marks. I occasionally draw from direct observation but I do not paint from it, nor do I use those drawings or photographs as source material in the canvases. I would never attempt an image of any phenomenon I have not experienced, however. Although this may make my paintings works of fictive imagination, they are not fantasy. — James McGarrell ames McGarrell had his back to the origins of the still first solo exhibit at the life tradition in the xenia—or JFrank Perls Gallery half a “gift of food”—as depicted in century ago.

It is begging the question to say that no obituary, no matter how carefully or lovingly written, could do justice to his life and accomplishments. He would have been the first to note, with one of those famous harrumphs, that inarticulateness is the last refuge afike unintelligent, the uninformed, the lazy, and those lacking grace and wit. Be that as it may, he would have been the first to agree that, i'n the verbal as well as the visual arts, there is no substitute for the object itself. For that reason, rather theLn because of any of the aforementioned failures of intellect or of character, we reprint here his last written work. Completed only a few days before his death, it is the text ofa commencement address that he had been t'rtvited to deh'ver on May 23, 1981, to the graduating class of the Rhode Island School of Design. WHERE YOU ARE There has never been a time in which so much conscious knowledge has been crowded into the minds of so many people. Not only are we constantly aware of the full geographic extension of the earth and the galaxy in which it functions, but also of the vast variety of peoples who inhabit it and their beliefs and goals, often markedly different from our own. There was a time in which we regarded a small bodyofprac­ tices as civilization and all else simply as barbarian life waiting to be tamed, but to hold such beliefs now is regarded as being backward or Joshua C.

The scientists' findings appear in the current issue of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a highly regarded re- search journal. "While these results are exciting, it's important to point out that the studies described in the report were limited only to testing in cell cultures. We must temper our enthusiasm until more is known," says Jeffrey I.

This mixed-media painting, part of Amos’s Falling series, portrays the artist in a blue-black expanse. A red-collared dog hovers on a white-and-black mosaic bearing the partial Latin inscription CAVE CANEM, or “beware of dog,” which the artist appropriated from the foyer of the House of the Tragic Poet in Pompeii. A portrait of Amos’s peer Faith Ringgold appears at the far right, and in the upper register, another tumbling body mirrors Amos’s own. It is the artist Giza Daniels-Endesha, Amos’s then recently departed former student and friend, whose life was cut short when he was just shy of thirty years old. 5.1 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 For America Ann Gale (Baltimore, MD, 1966) Babs with Ribbons 2007 Oil on canvas NA diploma presentation, February 12, 2014 5.2 For America: Paintings from the National Academy of Design New Mexico Museum of Art · October 24, 2020 – January 17, 2021 For America Jaune Quick-To-See Smith (Saint Ignatius, Flathead Reservation, MT, 1940) Snake Dance 2011 Oil, collage, and mixed media on canvas NA diploma presentation, November 7, 2012 The artist’s varied treatments of the individual parts of this image evoke bark or !esh, water or "re.
