Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universities are a treasure trove of knowledge. From the vast halls of teaching to the academic hub in the library, there is an abundance of resources. California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State) has other treasured resources, treasures of collections of visual and material culture. However, some of these collections have been left deep in dark closets, barely noticed for over 20 years, and all of these collections need to be updated to a common digital registration ssytem and collectively managed in a professional manner to be an academic resource for students, professors, scholars and the public. This project focuses on the art collection, which includes over 400 works collected by Art Department professors the 1960s. It includes works on paper (drawings, prints and photographs), ceramics paintings and sculpture. There are works by regional artists with national and international historical significance, including students, alumni, professors, and famous artist. This collection is too valuable to be neglected and not professionally maintained as a resource for the university and the greater Sacramento region.

Download or read book Hans Burkhardt written by Hans Gustav Burkhardt and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hans Burkhardt was born in Basel, Switzerland in 1904. In 1924, after years of Dickensian poverty, he immigrated to New York City. Working in a furniture factory during the day, he took art classes at night. One of his teachers was Armenian immigrant Arshile Gorky, who became Burkhardt's mentor, friend and occasional collaborator. Burkhardt moved to Los Angeles in 1937 and exhibited widely until his death in 1994. Burkhardt's work ranged from lyrical naturalism to early cubist explorations to quasi-surrealist distortions to intense expressionism. In painting, drawing and printmaking, he addressed the visual delights of everyday life and the horrors of war, the truths of love and the lies of government. The diverse formal and emotional territories of his work are united by Burkhardt's humanistic vision and astonishing technical skills. He created images of sumptuous beauty and searing commentaries on the social and political issues of the time. In doing so, he made a unique and lasting contribution to 20th century art. Burkhardt used art to analyze form, to protest social inequities, and to explore the mysteries of life. He also used art as a potent teaching tool, working on the faculty at California State University, Northridge (CSUN) from 1963 to 1973, and continuing to offer weekly workshops on campus until 1990. In the 1970s and 1980s, Burkhardt made a series of gifts to the university. Now totaling almost 1,000 pieces, the CSUN Hans Burkhardt Foundation Collection is a stunning assemblage of the master artist's oeuvre. This book serves as a catalogue to the Fall 2008 exhibition of selected Burkhardt works from the CSUN Collection, and as an introduction to that collection for future students and scholars. The exhibition was organized by Betty Ann Brown, Professor of Art History in CSUN's Department of Art. Brown also edited this volume, which includes her essay, as well as contributions by Peter Selz, University of California, Berkeley Professor Emeritus of Art History; Margarita Nieto, Professor in CSUN's Department of Chicano/a Studies; and Jack Rutberg, founder and owner of Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery."--Provided by publisher
Download or read book Bloodlines written by Anthony M. Platt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of World War II, an American military intelligence team retrieved an original copy of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws, signed by Hitler, and turned over this rare document to General George S. Patton. In 1999, after fifty-five years in the vault of the Huntington Library in southern California, the Nuremberg Laws resurfaced and were put on public display for the first time at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. In this far-ranging, interdisciplinary study that is part historical analysis, part cultural critique, part detective story, and part memoir, Tony Platt explores a range of interrelated issues: war-time looting, remembrance of the holocaust, German and American eugenics, and the public responsibilities of museums and cultural centers. This book is based on original research by the author and co-researcher, historian Cecilia O'Leary, in government, military, and library archives; interviews and oral histories; and participant observation. It is both a detailed, scholarly analysis and a record of the author's activist efforts to correct the historical record.

Download or read book Lost and Found written by Michele Taylor-Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1967, a small group of passionate art enthusiasts formed a permanent art collection committee made up of Davis Art Center board members, local art patrons and University of California, Davis art faculty. The committee's original mission was to develop a museum for Davis and to enhance the Art Center's standing within Northern California's art community. They had the foresight and vision to acquire artworks from regional artists who were relatively unknown at the time, but would go on to become prominent painters, sculptors, and photographers. A large majority of acquisitions were obtained between 1968 and 1985. Since the beginning of the acquisition process, the Davis Art Center has fronted a variety of challenging issues. During the last four decades, the permanent art collection committee endured inconsistent support from a rotating executive board and extremely limited funding sources, along with problems of storage for the artworks. The original vision for a museum was forgotten and, after 1985, the artwork was left largely un-cataloged, stored with minimal protection, and rarely exhibited. The last exhibition was staged in 1983. Sources of Data Between 1967 and 1992 the Davis Art Center, a non-profit center for the arts in Davis, California, amassed a collection of artworks from the region. The Davis Art Center's permanent collection was the source of data for this thesis project. Identifying the artwork and determining art pieces for inclusion in an exhibition and corresponding catalog, required extensive research over a two and one-half year period. Each art piece was identified, examined and cataloged using standard museum methods. The history of the committee and acquisition of the artworks was conducted primarily through available resources from the Davis Art Center personal archives, including board minutes, artists' files and biographies, letters of correspondence, past gallery exhibits, auction records, and art center scrapbooks. To understand the impact the art collection had on the artists and Davis community during its infancy, local and regional newspapers were studied, as were regional galleries of this period. Extensive research and analysis was required in order to understand the California art movements during the 1960s and 1970s. This includes the evolution of artistic styles and the artists within the permanent collection. Research was conducted using scholarly journals, educational art books, museum exhibition catalogs, art critic reviews, online galleries and artists' websites, and obituaries. In order to survey the collection for the exhibition, artists were researched for his or her connection to the Davis Art Center. Oral interviews were conducted with former Davis Art Center permanent art collection committee and board members, artists, and with descendants of deceased artists. Conclusions Reached Lost and Found: Visions of the Davis Art Center, an exhibition mounted in October 2010, celebrates the powerful imagery and artistic diversity of the collection by showcasing, for the first time in 27 years, 54 artworks by 34 artists. Although the entire collection consists of 148 artworks by 92 artists, the exhibit manages to capture the full vision of the Davis Art Center's original permanent collection committee, whose members shared a passion for art and a sharp eye for artistic talent. Several artworks within the exhibition could easily complement a major contemporary museum collection. However, due to the lack of a proper storage facility, several artworks are now in poor condition. Thus, most objects in the collection require minimum to major restoration. In order to visually document the lack of proper care and the transformation of these artworks, they were exhibited in their current condition with only minimal cleaning. This made for an eclectic exhibit and returned these artworks to the community for reflection and enjoyment. Through extensive research, the exhibition catalog documents the timeline of these artworks and explores the deep connection the Davis Art Center fostered with the art community during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as discusses the history of the committee members, as they fell short of their mission.
Download or read book Pop Art written by Tilman Osterwold and published by Taschen. This book was released on 2003 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Everything is beautiful,"" raved Andy Warhol, in raptures at the glamour of modern life, consumer society, the world of the media and its stars. And in so saying, he was expressing the feelings of a generation who felt their age was dawning, an age of ""love"" and ""freedom."" In art, too, a new attitude towards the present was making itself felt. Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Tom Wesselmann, Richard Hamilton and many other artists were discovering Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Coca Cola, comics, advertising, household appliances and food cans as an independent aesthetic reality. Popularity and triviality were no longer terms of abuse, but were central to a new understanding of an art whose aim was to break down the barriers between art and life. The author gives us a detailed account of the styles, themes and sources of Pop Art, investigating its development in different countries and providing biographies of its leading exponents.
