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.

Download or read book Noir written by Lee Hendrix and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the technological advances of the nineteenth century, an abundance of black drawing media exploded onto the market. Charcoal, conte crayon, and fabricated black chalks and crayons; fixatives; various papers; and many lifting devices gave rise to an unprecedented amount of experimentation. Indeed, innovation became the rule, as artists developed their own unique—and often experimental—processes. The exploration of black media in drawing is inextricably bound up with the exploration of black in prints, and this volume presents an integrated study that rises above specialization in one over the other. Noir brings together such diverse artists as Francisco de Goya, Maxime Lalanne, Gustave Courbet, Odilon Redon, and Georges Seurat and explores their inventive works on paper. Sidelining labels like “conservative” or “avant-garde,” the essays in this book employ all the tools that art history and modern conservation have given us, inviting the reader to look more broadly at the artists’ methods and materials. This volume accompanies an eponymous exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from February 9 to May 15, 2016.

Download or read book Manet and Modern Beauty written by Gloria Groom and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stunning examination of the last years of Édouard Manet's life and career is the first book to explore the transformation of his style and subject matter in the 1870s and early 1880s. The name Manet often evokes the provocative, heroically scaled pictures he painted in the 1860s for the Salon, but in the late 1870s and early 1880s the artist produced quite a different body of work: stylish portraits of actresses and demimondaines, luscious still lifes, delicate pastels, intimate watercolors, and impressionistic scenes of suburban gardens and Parisian cafés. Often dismissed as too pretty and superficial by critics, these later works reflect Manet’s elegant social world, propose a radical new alignment of modern art with fashionable femininity, and record the artist’s unapologetic embrace of beauty and visual pleasure in the face of death. Featuring nearly three hundred illustrations and nine fascinating essays by established and emerging Manet specialists, a technical analysis of the late Salon painting Jeanne (Spring), a selection of the artist’s correspondence, a chronology, and more, Manet and Modern Beauty brings a diverse range of approaches to bear on a little-studied area of this major artist’s oeuvre.

Download or read book The Franklin D Murphy Sculpture Garden at UCLA written by Cynthia Burlingham and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly thirty years, starting in the 1960s, Franklin D. Murphy was a dominant figure in the cultural development of Los Angeles. As chancellor of UCLA and later as chief executive of the "Times Mirror "company, Murphy channeled more than a billion dollars into the city's universities, museums, concert halls, and libraries. The Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden, one of his landmark projects, is also one of the UCLA campus's great treasures. Standing as a model for sculpture gardens internationally since its dedication in 1967, the Murphy Garden features seventy-two important modern and contemporary sculptures in a five-acre site designed by landscape architect Ralph Cornell. This fully-illustrated catalog documents the entire Murphy Garden collection and provides a scholarly entry for each artist--a sampling of which includes Deborah Butterfield, Alexander Calder, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Henry Moore, Isamu Noguchi, Auguste Rodin, and David Smith. Three essays--by Victoria Steele, Cynthia Burlingham, and Marc Treib-- focus respectively on the role of Franklin Murphy in the garden's planning and execution, the acquisition of the sculptures, and the garden's significance within the history of sculpture garden design.
