read on National Docents.org about Andrew WYETH

Image
Andrew Wyeth Attention All Docents, If you are looking for a juicy read I recommend you select Richard Meryman’s “Andrew Wyeth – A Secret Life”. Richard Merryman has interviewed many luminaries including Marilyn Monroe two days before her death. He worked on this book for 30 years, which is amazing because Andrew Wyeth was so private!  Merryman portrays all the Wyeths and their interesting artistic talents.  You become acquainted with the interesting Wyeth family tree.  He begins with NC Wyeth who was a loving and controlling father who had an impact on all the four children. Andrew led a secret life that included his emotional, physical, and artistic arenas.  He was a talented youngster who was trained by his father, which led early success in his twenties. The book depicts his successful artwork, his intricate marriage and ...

Photo: Courtesy of Marco Scozzaro/Frieze Gavin Brown's booths tend to try harder to be interesting than most — and usually succeed. In 2013, Brown had horror-camp artist Bjarne Melgaard paint the walls of his Frieze New York booth magenta and fill its labyrinthe arrangement with heaps of neon fleece carpets that made it difficult to walk (sort of a "fuck you" to fairgoers in heels — but then again, the carpets were also for sale, at $12,000 each). In 2012, the booth's centerpiece was Rirkrit Tiravanija's Untitled (Kramer and Newman Make Sausage) , a performance in which Brown and the actor Mark Ruffalo grilled sausages and offered them to passersby. On May ...

opened May 9...still white?..I'm going...........to check out,....Yayoi Kusama...always inventing and creating...

David Zwirner is pleased to present Give Me Love , the gallery’s second exhibition with Yayoi Kusama in New York. On view in two spaces, 519 and 525 West 19th Street, will be new paintings from the celebrated My Eternal Soul series, new polka-dotted pumpkin sculptures, and the artist’s seminal installation The Obliteration Room from 2002. Widely recognized around the world, with a recent survey of museum attendance ranking her as the mo....... The exhibition marks the United States debut of The Obliteration Room , an all-white, domestic interior that over the course of the show is covered by dots of varying sizes and colors. In a departure from earlier iterations of the work, which have involved one or several rooms, the present installation is built like a typical, prefabricated American suburban house. As visitors are handed a set of stickers and step inside, they enter a completely white residential setting where otherwise familiar objects such as a kitchen count...

  read:http://www.laphil.com/philpedia/elias-sime Elias Sime ELIAS SIME (sculptor) was born and raised in Cherqos, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. As a child, he made toys with found objects for himself and his friends in his neighborhood. When he was a teenager, he started repairing or reconstructing the furniture in his family house and carved out designs on the wooden front door of the living room. Recognizing his talent, his father encouraged him to study art. In 1990 he graduated from the Addis Ababa University School of Fine Art and Design in graphics art. Soon after he graduated, he completely abandoned graphics art and began making collages. One of Sime’s favorite things to do is collecting anything he finds interesting to apply in his art. Most of his works are made from collections of old items gathered from around the city, particularly in Chid Tera or Menyalesh Tera in Merkato. Merkato is the largest open ...

pourquoi reinventer la roue?

Merci Roland ROURE d avoir ecrit: "… Ah! Te lier, semble marmonner mon atelier quand je le quitte. Lieu d’enfermement, d’abandon, de perte, labyrinthe dont je suis à la fois prisonnier et gardien. Je n’y fais pas ce que je veux mais plutôt ce que je peux. Lieu où les vides valent mieux que les pleins. Lieu où se dilue le temps, où il se cristallise en sculptures qui sont portes énigmatiques offrant une possibilité de passage d’un espace à l’autre quand tout va bien, ou quand tout va mal, se ferment sur un cul-de-sac entêtant. L’atelier est un chaos où j’essaie de fabriquer de l’ordre dans les décombres créés en cherchant la sortie aussi proche qu’improbable, et que je redoute. L’addition de mes essais d’envol est une soustraction de place. Où je me bats avec le temps sur lequel je gagne, puisqu’il me rapproche chaque jour davantage de ma libération. Que j’y fasse quelque chose ou rien, d’ailleurs. C’est donc le lieu de refuge, où l’assiégé barricadé, embusqué, résis...

la dinanderie? ..reponse de Dominique Folliot

J'ai rencontré la dinanderie presque par "hasard" en cherchant une formation, avec le désir de travailler de "mes mains". Dominique FOlliot la dinanderie?....mais KESACO? Ma préférence allant vers le métal, c'est en dinanderie que j'ai trouvé un stage d'un an à Périgny sur Yerres. La dinanderie est une technique qui permet à partir d'une feuille de métal de créer des formes à l'aide de maillets, de marteaux et divers outils en acier. Les nombreuses cuissons du métal nécessitent un chalumeau.  Un long travail est effectué sur la pièce jusqu'à la patine finale obtenue par mélange de plusieurs produits. Certaines de mes Å“uvres sont réalisées sans soudure à partir d'une seule feuille en jouant simplement sur la courbe pour obtenir la forme. D'autres sont des assemblages de plusieurs éléments, des alliances de métaux et matériaux : Laiton, cuivre, étain, ébène, pâte de verre ou quelques touches d'émail. Une partie de mon tr...

Ever heard of SLINKACHU?...

http://slinkachu.com/i/u/news/25_tug_of_war.jpg I recently shot an installation outside of The Bank of England which will be shown by  Andipa Gallery  at Multiplied 2014 art fair held at Christies in London. Titled Tug of War, this new image represents the age-o ld battle between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots', summed up in a tug of war over a dropped £10 note. To compliment this theme you can view the image at the show as a very limited, 120x180cm aluminium-mounted, glossy 'elite' print. Conversely, theres also the 'people's' version, printed in a tabloid newspaper format using traditional newspaper stock and ink with all the imperfections and idiosyncrasies you'd expect from newsprint. If you haven't got the funds and the palatial space for the elite version, the newsprint version is available for only £10 (of course!) and is an unlimited, unsigned edition for sale to anyone at the show, until it closes. ...

À propos des « CHAMPS CELESTES »   et des vitraux de St Hilaire Collages, acrylique et pastels gras sur panneaux de bois.   " … J'eus ensuite une vision. Voici : une porte était ouverte au ciel, et la voix que j'avais naguère entendue me parler  comme une trompette me dit: monte ici, que je te montre ce qui  doit arriver par la suite. A l'instant je tombais en extase. Voici, un  trône était dressé dans le ciel, et, siégeant sur le trône, quelqu'un…  Celui qui siège est comme une vision de jaspe et de cornaline, un  arc-en-ciel autour du trône est comme une vision d'émeraude…"  "Apocalypse de St Jean - 2125"   Une série inspirée par la lecture de l’apocalypse de St Jean. Des paysages « visionnaires » architecturés dans une constante d’or,  de mouvements, de lumière. Présence diffuse des éléments, terre, air, eau, feu. Agitation, calme, révélations… Du fond de l’image surgit la lumière qui transfigure ...
