Download or read book Charles E Burchfield written by Nancy Weekly and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-06-18 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates and accompanies a major touring exhibit that commemorates the centennial of Burchfield's birth. Opening in June 1993 at the Drawing Center in New York City, this is the first exhibition organized specifically to probe the underlying visionary themes, pantheistic philosophy, and religious symbolism in the art of this foremost American watercolorist. The exhibit will also accompany the first national symposium on Burchfield's role in 20th century art, also being held in New York City in the summer of 1993. Curator Nancy Weekly of the Burchfield Art Center in Buffalo is both curator for the exhibition and author of the text for this book. The works she has selected for both the book and the exhibit survey Burchfield's development of a metaphorical landscape whose iconography can be read as pantheist and transcendental. Burchfield's visionary works show nature reflecting the gamut of human emotions, memory, and his personal quest for spiritual resolution. Until now, Charles Burchfield has been appreciated as an important and rather unique American artist. He has not easily fit into the art historical niches that others have carved out for him. With THE SACRED WOODS, the Burchfield Art Center reveals a comprehensive understanding of the philosophies that shaped Burchfield's vision, as well as the methods and iconography that he used to articulate his own sense of the sublime.

Download or read book The Eunice and Hal David Collection of Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Works on Paper written by Lee Hendrix and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artists' collections often provide fascinating insights into the creative process. Knowing it internally, the collecting artist has an acute sensitivity, respect, and love for this mysterious phenomenon-its origins, its exploratory twists and turns, and its sometimes daunting standards of perfection. This yields a particular relationship between the collector and the collection-not one of subject to object, but rather a sympathetic and delighted dialogue between personalities bent on creativity. The collection of Eunice and Hal David instantly bespeaks this artistic rapport. Filling most of the walls in their airy home-where views encompass inviting couches and chairs, contemporary sculptures, and a baby grand piano-are drawings by many of the individuals who have shaped the course of nineteenth-and twentieth-century art - from Edouard Manet, Mary Cassatt, and Gustav Klimt to Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Robert Motherwell, Andy Warhol, and David Hockney. The Davids have always lived with their collection, and seeing it in their home and talking to them about it, one is struck by their ongoing pleasure in it and its integral relation to their own creative world of music and lyrics. So many of us have been moved by Hal David's lyrics: "What the world needs now is love, sweet love''; "What's it all about, Alfie?"; "Raindrops keep fallin' on my head." That he doesn't shrink from acknowledging the difficulties that are inherent to our emotional and creative lives is evident both in the recurring themes of heartbreak and pain in his song lyrics and in his frank acknowledgment of the creative blocks that he has confronted (it took him two years to find the lyrics for "What the World Needs Now Is Love").' Yet Hal is overwhelmingly life affirming, both as an artist and as a person. One sees this as well in the collection of drawings that the Davids have assembled, which includes so many works that testify to the creation of art as a form of affirmative connection. Connection is indeed the operative word when it comes to the collection, because it is nothing if not the expression of the intertwined lives of two people, Eunice and Hal. As they will confirm, it is a direct outgrowth of their lives together.

Book excerpt: "The Menil Collection: A Selection from the Paleolithic to the Modern Era presents works of art from the extraordinary private collection of Dominique and John de Menil, which was assembled over the last forty years. This book, and the new museum built to house the collection in Houston, Texas, for the first time make available to the public the content of The Menil Collection. The nearly 250 works shown here in color reproductions are, of course, only a fraction of the collection's 10,000 items that include paintings, drawings, prints and photographs, rare books, sculpture, and precious objects." "The Collection has particular concentration in four areas: antiquities from the European, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern worlds, such as the paleolithic Bone with Incised Reindeer, and the Violin Idol from the Cycladic Islands, Greece; Byzantine objects, such as the magnificent gold reliquary; art of tribal cultures, particularly African art but also artifacts from Oceania and the Americas, including headdresses and figures from Mali and Nigeria, effigies and masks from Polynesia and Melanesia, and a splendid Curtain with Thunderbird and Whale (Nitinat people) from western Canada; and modern art."--Jacket.
