Putuoshan Au large de Ningo, dans la province du Zhejiang, se trouve l’archipel de Zhoushan. Parmi les centaines d’île qui la compose, Putuoshan est l’une des plus appréciées. Cette montagne sacrée du bouddhisme posée au milieu de la mer est parsemée de temples, de grottes et autres curiosités naturelles. Les grandes plages de sable fin entourées d’une végétation encore assez vierge sont également très appréciables. Calme, naturelle et accueillante, cette île illustre parfaitement la Chine d’antant. Plusieurs petits villages de pêcheurs sont située ici et là et vivent essentiellement de la pêche et des fruits de mer. Les temples de Putuoshan sont dédiés à Guanyin, la déesse bouddhique de la Miséricorde, omniprésente sur l’île. D’ailleurs dès l’arrivée en bateau, il est difficile de manque son effigie de 33m de haut surplombant la mer à la pointe sud de l’île. Seule ombre au tableau : à l’arrivée, les touristes doivent s’acquitter d’un droit d’entrée de 160 yuan par personnes .

Kurt Schwitters: Color and Collage On View March 26 through June 26, 2011 Princeton University Art Museum to present Kurt Schwitters: Color and Collage First Major U.S. Exhibition Since 1985 MoMA Retrospective FEATURES RECREATION OF FAMED MERZBAU INSTALLATION DESTROYED IN 1943 Princeton, N.J. - Kurt Schwitters (1887–1948) was an integral part of Germany’s revolutionary art and intellectual movements in the tumultuous wake of the First World War. He is one of the most enduring figures of the 20th century international avant-garde, and has been cited as a profound influence by artists ranging from Robert Rauschenberg to Damian Hirst. Widely acknowledged as a great master of collage, Schwitters’ diverse body of work cut across boundaries, hierarchies and media to include painting, sculpture, typography, poems and performance pieces, and it anticipated most of the leading art movements of the late 20th century. Now, Schwitters is the subject of a major retrospective, the first in the U.S. ...

More Arts News 515 Lenox Avenue, at 135th Street, Hamilton Heights Through June 30 A few years ago, while researching African influences in India, the art historian Henry John Drewal was struck by the vivid beauty of a type of quilted bed covering that he found in a village home he stayed at in Karnataka. Walking through the village, he saw similar quilts draped over fences and airing on rooftops. All shared a distinctively African-derived patchwork style . Called kawandi, the quilts are made by women of the Siddi ethnic group, descendants of early African migrants to South Asia, including slaves brought by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century. Strips and patches of recycled cloth, solid-colored, patterned or shot through with glittery threads, are the basic components. Each woman develops her o...

Spotlight: Write About Now at the NY French Institute Don’t miss the next Write About Now on April 21st! Write About Now is a lively series of talks hosted by the French Institute of New York. American and French writers of all genres – from journalism to fiction to history – gather to share their work and talk about its relationship and relevance to the contemporary world.

Is there one? Should there even be one? These questions will be discussed by a panel of four writers : Professor of Media Studies Siva Vaidhyanathan and novelist Victoria Patterson for the American perspective. Essayists and novelists Yannick Haenel and Laurent Nunez for the French perspective. Moderated by Chris Lehmann, an editor at Bookforum .

NEW YORK, NY.- Christie’s announces the auction of a previously undocumented masterpiece by the great Abstract Expressionist Mark Rothko (1903-1970), to be offered as the highlight of the Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale at Christie’s New York on May 11, 2011. The boldly colored 1961 painting Untitled #17 (oil on canvas, 93 x 76 in.) comes to auction with an estimate of $18,000,000-22,000,000. The present owner of Untitled #17 acquired the work directly from Rothko, and the work has remained in private hands since 1965.

David Anfam, author of the catalogue raisonné, Mark Rothko The Works on Canvas, has written a text on the painting and has noted:“Recently come to light after an extended period in private hands, Untitled No. 17 fits squarely among the 18 hitherto documented oils on ...

Le mythe Dogon PARIS – Les Dogons et Marcel Griaule : le mariage semble indissoluble entre l’ethnie qui habite la falaise de Bandiagara au Mali et le célèbre ethnologue, chef de file de la mission Dakar-Djibouti des années trente. L’exposition présente les objets emblématiques – montrés depuis longtemps chez les antiquaires européens - dont les fameux masques que Griaule classifia dans son ouvrage de 1938. Parmi les quelque 300 objets disposés pour mener jusqu’au chef-d’œuvre du musée du quai Branly (la grande statue djennenké), se trouvent des sculptures, des piliers de cases, des portes de greniers, des serrures, des appuie-tête. La commissaire Hélène Leloup, qui fréquente les Dogons depuis plus de 50 ans (elle a ouvert sa première galerie en 1956) prend comme clé de décryptage la fascination des Occidentaux pour la culture dogon, qui a d’abord marqué les ethnologues pour se diffuser largement : aujourd’hui, parmi les artistes qui y puisent leur inspiration, figure notamment Miquel B...
