Forrest BESS Seeing Things Invisible on view @ the Neuberger February 16 - May 18, 2014

Image
Bess, "Before Man," 1952–53, Oil on canvas, 8-3/4 x 22-3/4 inches, Collection Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York, Gift of Roy R. Neuberger, 1986.10.08, Photo: Jim Frank Forrest Bess: Seeing Things Invisible Self-described “visionary” artist Forrest Bess (1911–1977) is a unique figure in the history of American art. He eked a meager living fishing and selling bait by day in Bay City Texas, while, in his free time, he read, wrote, and painted prolifically. He created an extraordinary body of mostly small-scale canvases rich with enigmatic symbolism based on symbols he saw in his dreams. Bess drew meaning for these symbols from various disciplines such as medicine, psychology, anthropology, and philosophy, eventually formulating a theory, which he referred to as his “thesis,” that the unification of male and female within one’s body could produce immortality. Despite his remote location, Bess gained reco...

MEANWHILE...What's going on in BARCELONA?

AT THE PICASSO MUSEUM, BARCELONA Curated by Michael FitzGerald Museu Picasso, Barcelona, Spain 5 March - 29 June 2014 This is the first exhibition dedicated to tracing the impact of Picasso on international contemporary art. Curated by the expert Michael FitzGerald, the show will explore the dialogue inspired by the work of Picasso in today's artists. Dr. FitzGerald, Professor of Fine Arts, Trinity College (USA), has developed Post-Picasso during the years since he curated Picasso and American Art for the Whitney Museum of American Art (2006-07).Post-Picasso will build on the substantial research of that exhibition to treat the chronological period from the decade before Picasso’s death in 1973 to the present. One of the most surprising upshots of the exhibition will be the evidence of Picasso's importance for the art of the twenty-first century. The show will reveal how Picasso's art and reputation continue to generate a fruitful dialogue with contemporary artists arou...

2014 Armory Show : ARTIST COMMISSION: XU ZHEN (MADEIN)

Image
XU ZHEN ARTIST COMMISSION: XU ZHEN (MADEIN) Xu Zhen  (b. 1977, Shanghai) has been chosen as the  commissioned artist for The Armory Show 2014 . A “chameleon of concept," he has built an extensive body of work that includes video, installation, performance, and photography. From theatrical merry pranks to quieter works playing on human sensitivity, Xu Zhen has developed a repertoire confronting social-political taboos within the context of contemporary China and beyond. For this edition of The Armory Show, Xu Zhen has put his mark on key aspects of the fair’s look and feel. Paintings from his  Under Heaven  series, in which a pastry chef’s icing applicator is used to apply pigment to support in temptingly delicious impasto, has graced Armory Show collateral in the months leading up to the fair and on-site. These paintings, their title both a literal translation of a Chinese word meaning “the whole world" and a joking reference to Jeff K...
