Dutch artist Melanie Bonajo solos at P·P·O·W Gallery in NYC
Written by rubin Sunday, 24 May 2009 21:30
New York City - P·P·O·W Gallery is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition of the Dutch artist, Melanie Bonajo. As Thrown Down from Heaven, is a photo series that focuses on a theme that Bonajo continually explores; the relationships that human beings have with the environment, both private and public, and the desire to create harmony within this. The images in this series combine seemingly opposing elements, nude figures with disposable objects, but when combined these figures become a fusion of the individual and the material, becoming a hybrid that expresses our modern age. On view through 20 June, 2009.

The State Russian Museum opens "Art for Art" in the Marble Palace
Written by Joseph Razo Thursday, 23 September 2010 22:45
Saint Petersburg, Russia - On May, 21 the State Russian Museum opened the ‘Art for Art’ exhibition in the Marble Palace. The exposition comprises more than 150 works of painterly and graphic art, installations, photos and objects from the collection of the State Russian Museum. In the 20th and 21st centuries, art images acquired creative potential similar to that of live characters and visualities -- the sources of earlier inspiration. In the epoch of Post-Modernism, it is impossible to avoid quotations and references to art history, and this is one of the major principles of contemporary art. Artists refer to the entire experience of world artistic culture, ranging from diligent apprenticeship to provocative parody. Art becomes more and more fixed upon itself and the subject of “Art for Art” gains topicality.

The Huntington Library Celebrates Samuel Johnson ~ "Literary Giant of the 18th Century”
Written by Sydell Perlmutter Tuesday, 04 August 2009 21:03
SAN MARINO, CA.- Literary giant Samuel Johnson (1709–1784), author of the first English dictionary, will be celebrated in a new exhibition opening this spring at The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens, marking the 300th anniversary of his birth. Johnson is one of the most significant and influential men of letters in English. Legendary as a writer, moralist, and conversationalist during his lifetime, Johnson first achieved fame with the publication of his Dictionary of the English Language in 1755. “Samuel Johnson: Literary Giant of the 18th Century,” on view from May 23 to Sept. 21, showcases Johnson’s craft as a writer through a display of more than 70 items, including a copy of the first edition of the Dictionary in its original binding, a portion of one of Johnson’s diaries, personal letters, and other works seldom seen by the public.

Written by rubin Friday, 22 May 2009 23:23
DOYLESTOWN, PA - The grittier side of life will be on display in the upcoming exhibit Painting the People: Images of American Life from the Maimon Collection, which opens July 11 and runs through October 18, 2009 at the James A. Michener Art Museum. Regional collectors Barbara and Lee Maimon have amassed a formidable number of paintings that explore the uniquely American art forms known as American Scene painting (or Regionalism) and Social Realism. Organized by the Michener, Painting the People allows us to view the everyday lives of ordinary people, as seen through the eyes of artists who looked closely at the reality around them—from mine workers to burlesque dancers to regular folks worn down by life—and painted what they saw.

Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao offers the Art Archives of Joaquim Mir
Written by rubin Monday, 18 May 2009 22:06
BILBAO, SPAIN - "All I want is for my works to lighten the heart and flood the eyes and the soul with light." That was how Joaquim Mir (Barcelona, 1873—1940), one of the most famous and influential artists in Catalonian art circles in the early 20th century, summed up his private art manifesto in 1928. Colour and light meant everything to Mir, and he used them to build a personal idiom in which he created a surprisingly modern oeuvre, beyond the art movements like Impressionism or Symbolism with which critics have often sought to associate him. Although his artistic development varied between realism and abstraction, two features crop up throughout his entire output: the urge to establish a new vision of nature and an unremitting search for beauty marked by genuine creative tension.
