Fall Promises Brilliant Color   Artist Dana Schutz is one of the most important young artists to emerge in the last ten years. Combining fantasy and reality, humor and horror, the artist creates figurative paintings in a distinctive visual style characterized by vibrant color and raw and tactile brushwork, in which imaginary worlds and hypothetical situations are all at once absurd, strange, and impossible, yet oddly compelling.   Schutz is the recipient of the 2011 Roy R. Neuberger Exhibition Prize awarded every two years to an artist for an early career survey and monographic catalogue. Dana Schutz: If the Face Had Wheels September 25-December 18, 2011 Members See It First Opening Reception Saturday, September 24, 2011 6:30-8 pm / RSVP:  914-251-6125 Above:  Dana Schutz,  Guitar Girl , 2009 Oil and acrylic on canvas with black velvet, 60 1/4 x 48 inches Collection of Maria and Alberto de la Cruz

I wish I could visit: Les tressages de François Rouan LE CATEAU-CAMBRESIS

Les tressages de François Rouan  LE CATEAU-CAMBRESIS - De Supports/Surfaces à Matisse… François Rouan, né en 1943, s’est d’abord fait connaître par sa communauté de pensée avec Viallat ou Dezeuze, animateurs du groupe Supports/Surfaces, qui remettaient en cause la toile traditionnelle. Elaborant sa propre technique dite de tressage, où il combine des bandes de papier qui font office de fils de chaîne et de trame, Rouan n’a jamais cessé d’être proche d’artistes comme Matisse ou Hantaï. Le premier est une influence marquante depuis ses tout premiers « papiers découpés » des années 1965-66. Quarante années d’évolution, où se croisent désormais la vidéo, la photographie, le dessin, montrent que la figure, sans jamais devenir pleinement reconnaissable, est de plus en plus tapie dans ces combinaisons complexes de couleurs et de découpes. •  François Rouan  est exposé au musée départemental Matisse, du 3 juillet au 18 septembre 2011.

on view =Saint Paul de Vence= fondation Maeght

Chillida, homme de fer  SAINT-PAUL-DE-VENCE – C’est une histoire de fidélité : Antonio Chillida (1924-2002) a été le plus jeune artiste exposé lors de l’inauguration de la fondation Maeght en 1964. Près d’un demi-siècle plus tard, alors qu’il est lui-même décédé et que son parc de sculptures au pays Basque espagnol est en difficulté (ouvert en 2000 près de San Sebastián, il est fermé au public depuis le 1er janvier 2011), ce grand ami des Maeght bénéficie d’une grande rétrospective en 150 œuvres. On y voit évidemment les monumentales  Stèles  et  Enclumes  en fer de ce « sculpteur devenu forgeron » (selon les mots de Gaston Bachelard), qui a toujours accordé beaucoup d’importance à la création pour l’espace public. Mais aussi toutes les autres facettes de son art : dessins, terres chamottées, reliefs en bois, Torse  en pierre,  Hommage à la mer  en albâtre jusqu’aux dessins des dernières années, baptisés  Gravitations , des encres sur papiers...
