Gustave Caillebotte: The Reluctant
ImpressionistBy Holland Cotter
Caillebotte could afford to be private, because he was rich.
He was born in 1848 to a haute bourgeois family in Paris,
and he grew up during the years that the medieval city was
being destroyed and a modern one — more sanitary,
shopper friendly and police surveyable — was being built.
Pierre Bonnard: The Late Interiors
Jed Perl
Wednesday, April 01, 2009There is a tropical heat in Pierre Bonnard's late
paintings. This subtle hedonist, a contemplative spirit
with king-sized obsessions, regards the colors on his
palette as objects of delectation. Each stroke of alizarin
or orange or green paint that he works into the canvas
has a life-giving power.And see the New Republic's Slide Show of the
exhibit.
The Late Interiors' Bonnard Late in Life,
Searching for the Light
By Roberta Smith
January 30, 2009
By the last quarter-century of his long, productive career,
Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was deep into what might be
called his Red-Yellow-Orange Period. These colors dominate
“Pierre Bonnard: the Late Interiors”
The Spiritual In Art
By Jed Perl
Published by The New Republic
February 18, 2009The wheel of fashion, which turned Marc Chagall
and Georges Rouault into has-beens a few decades
ago, is turning again. These two misunderstood
moderns are being taken seriously. The rise of identity
politics in the intellectual world has certainly played
a part.
Soaring in Art, Museum Trips
Over Finances
By EDWARD WYATT and JORI FINKELYet by putting art ahead of the bottom line, the
Museum of Contemporary Art has nearly killed
itself. The museum has operated at a deficit in
six of the last eight years, and its endowment has
shrunk to about $6 million from nearly $50 million in
1999, according to people who have been briefed
on the finances. Now the California attorney general
has begun an audit to determine if the museum
broke laws governing the use of restricted money
by nonprofit organizations.
How the Culture War Has Spread
to the Fine Arts:An Answer to H. R. Rookmaaker and
Francis SchaefferBy Katherine Yurica
Should art be Christian? Should Georges Rouault
replace Picasso? In fact, the issue is one of
dominance rather than taste. The question is:
“Whose art shall reign supreme in our world?”
Christian art or secular art? But my question is,
“Should art be judged by the belief system of the
artist or his religious mentors or should it be
judged on the basis of the vision the work itself
presents to the viewer?
Kurt Vonnegut,
Counterculture’s Novelist, Dies
By DINITIA SMITH
Kurt Vonnegut, whose dark comic talent and
urgent moral vision in novels like “Slaughterhouse-
Five,” “Cat’s Cradle” and “God Bless You, Mr.
Rosewater” caught the temper of his times and
the imagination of a generation, died last night
in Manhattan. He was 84 and had homes in Manhattan
and in Sagaponack on Long Island.
The Art’s At L.A.
Where’s the Crowd?
By Edward Wyatt
JOHN BALDESSARI, the conceptual artist who
has long made his home here, for years gave
his college art students one piece of advice
when they graduated: Go to New York, the
capital of the art world. Now, however, Mr.
Baldessari has a different view.
Frank Gehry: Corner of Art and
Commerce in Los Angeles
By NICOLAI OUROUSSOFFHOW to find meaning in a centerless world?
For a half-century, that has been the question
facing the strip of corporate towers, cultural
landmarks and undeveloped lots known as
Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles.That
all began to change with Frank Gehry’s Walt
Disney Concert Hall, completed in 2003, which
raised the level of architectural ambition for
Grand Avenue.
The Hammer Cleanup
Last week’s deal helps one museum
move on. What about LACMA?
By Christopher KnightNineteen years and one day ago, the late
chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corp.,
Armand Hammer, created the cultural equivalent
of an oil spill. He turned his back on nearly two
decades of pledges to bequeath his mostly modest
art collection to the Los Angeles County Museum of
Art, announcing a plan to open his own art museum
instead. Six years and about $100 million later, an
urgent salvage operation was underway. UCLA assumed
management of a troubled national laughingstock that
Time magazine had aptly dubbed America's Vainest
Museum.
David Hockney and Friends
Though the artist doesn't think of himself as a
painter of portraits, a new exhibition makes the
case that they are key to his work.
By Matthew Gurewitsch"Hockney is so famous, so popular, such a
great talker and character that it's easy to take
him for granted as an artist," Jonathan Jones, the
art critic of The Guardian, observed not long
ago. "If you’re a critic, it's tempting to give him
a bash. But Hockney is a significant modern
painter. He is one of only a handful of 20th-century
British artists who added anything to the image
bank of the world’s imagination."
Art Is Among Worst-Performing
Investments, Merrill Lynch Says
July 19 (Bloomberg) -- Art is one of the worst
ways for investors to try to make money, even
as paintings by Picasso and Klimt sell for more
than $100 million apiece, according to a Merrill
Lynch & Co. study.
A Step Up in Responsibility

Why waste time?
By Christopher Reynolds
Times Staff Writer
June 4, 2006
Three days into his tenure as director of the
Los Angeles County Museum of Art, at 5 a.m.,
Michael Govan found the painting to hang
behind his desk. It's a blue-hued composition
from 1992 by artist Mark Tansey, two daring
young men on a hilltop with a flying machine
about 100 years ago. Except that these guys
are not the Wright brothers. They're the painters
who created Cubism, and the work's title is
"Braque and Picasso."
Clashing Cultures: Christian Art
vs. Secular ArtThe Importance of Hans Rookmaaker
In Art and in the Life of Francis Schaeffer
November 2004 - V. 22 I. 9
by David Bruce HegemanThis essay will introduce the reader to the cultural
war in art. It brings two clashing concepts face to
face: Should art be Christian? Should Picasso be
replaced by Georges Rouault? In fact, the issue is
one of dominance. Whose art shall reign supreme in
our world? The author of this article champions Christian
art. He makes H. R. Rookmaaker his hero. But
Rookmaaker praises Rouault's work over Picasso's
because Rouault painted prostitutes and judges the
way he, as a Christian, prefers prostitutes and judges to be
viewed: Rookmaaker says Rouault's prostitutes "are symbols
for prostitution, for cheap love for sale, for the depravity
of his time. His judges are akin to those of Daumier: they
stand for the corrupt courts of his time. He prophesies
against the times in which he lives."
Artists in Midcareer and
Beyond Are Showing That
Experience Matters
By HOLLAND COTTERMidcareer is a flexible category, defined partly
by age, partly by time on the job. Sherrie Levine,
a New York-based Conceptual artist who has a
fine show at Paula Cooper Gallery, qualifies on
both counts. Now just shy of 60, she had her
first gallery solo in 1974, and came into her
own in the 1980's with the wave of East Village
"appropriation art," work that lifted images from
art history and popular culture to comment on
history and culture themselves.
Making Artists:
Warhols of Tomorrow Are Dealers'
Quarry Today
By CAROL VOGELJack Tilton arrived at Columbia University on a
recent Saturday with a camera around his neck
and a venture capitalist by his side. It was a busy
day for Mr. Tilton, a Manhattan dealer known for
exhibiting the art of graduate students. He looked
at the work of 26 students in their first year of a Master
of Fine Arts program at Columbia, then struck out for
New Haven to do the same thing at Yale. John Friedman,
the venture capitalist, made that part of the tour a week
later. "I've collected for north of 30 years and have about
700 works of contemporary art," Mr. Friedman said.
"I mentor a lot of students from Columbia and Yale."
Making Artists:
The End of the Great Big American VoiceBy ANNE MIDGETTE
IN March, Jennifer Wilson, an unknown 39-year-old
soprano, suddenly burst onto the international opera
scene by jumping in for Jane Eaglen as Brünnhilde in
Wagner's "Götterdämmerung" at the Lyric Opera of
Chicago, just a day after singing the same character
in a rehearsal of "Die Walküre." Artistry aside, this is
a stunning athletic feat. Few people today have the
vocal heft and stamina to get through even one of
these roles, let alone take on both back to back.

Go to College? Maybe.December 21, 2005
By ERIKA KINETZ
Mark Morris possesses five honorary doctorates.
But he did not spend a day in college, rather
training for a life in dance at what he likes to call
"L'École of Hard Knocks." This, for him, consisted
of heading to Europe after high school to practice folk
dancing in Macedonia and Spanish dancing in Madrid.
He also spent a fair amount of time cooking chickens
and hanging out at weddings.

Now on Sale: the Gehry Collection
The celebrities came out in droves to view
architect Frank Gehry's new line of bling for Tiffany's.
By Booth Moore
March 28, 2006Imagine wearing a $1-million rendition of Walt Disney
Hall on your lapel? That was Frank Gehry's first thought
about designing jewelry several years ago, when he
proposed a brooch, covered in diamonds, to raise money
for the building project. Tiffany & Co. said no to that idea,
but the idea of a future collaboration didn't end there. Fast
forward to Sunday night, when Rodeo Drive turned into
Gehry-land, as more than 300 guests came out to fete
the famed architect and his new line of jewelry and
tabletop items.
Ingres at the Louvre:
His Pursuit of a Higher Reality
By MICHAEL KIMMELMAN
PARIS — Outside the first gallery of the Ingres
show here at the Louvre, his gigantic painting of
Jupiter and Thetis from a distance might almost
be mistaken for a copy of itself — the colors are
so lurid and the surface is so smooth. No matter
how familiar Ingres is, like all great artists he
suddenly looks unfamiliar whenever you see him.
The Collective Conscious
By HOLLAND COTTER
Contemporary art is a multibillion-dollar global
industry. But why does such a big deal look
so small, so slight, with its bland paintings,
self-regarding videos, artful tchotchkes and
shoppable M.F.A. artists-to-watch? There has
to be another way to go, an alternative to a
used-up "alternative." By far the most interesting
option so far, one that began to be news a few
years ago and has increased its visibility since,
is the work of miniature subcultures known as
collectives. Basically, art collectives do away with
the one-artist-one-object model.
How Art Appreciates —
It's a Class Act
Grayson Perry
I read that Damien Hirst’s accountant
reckons that the artist is worth £100
million. Maybe the richest an artist has
ever been? The working-class lad from
Leeds turned taxidermist, restaurateur
and master of his own three-ring circus
has done good. Death, business, spectacle,
branding, Hirst is the perfect artist for a time
when, as the critic Robert Hughes would have it,
“the only function left of contemporary art is
that of investment capital”. Boosted by an
influx of Asian buyers keen to hoover up the
classics of the modernist canon, the recent
sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s in London
broke many records.
How Art Creates the Artist
By Katherine YuricaWhat Carl Jung wrote in 1933 is as
applicable to the lives of artists and art students
today as it is to playwrights and poets and
writers on the web. Jung understood not
only the role that religion ought to play
in our lives, but also understood that the
artists, the poets among us, are the bearers
of spiritual wisdom and insights, born out
of the womb of civilization itself.

New Art City
How New York City Became the
Center of the Art WorldWith New Art City, an epic treatment of New
York’s rise to the international capital of art during
the post-World War II era, Perl now turns from
criticism to history. It is a massive story, and a
familiar one. On the eve of the war, a stream of
refugees had arrived in New York who formed a
kind of government-in-exile of European
modernism.

Frenzied Buying but Not

Closing report: ArtBasel/Miami Beach04 December 2005
By Georgina Adam, Jason Kaufman, Brook
S. Mason and MGisela Capitain and Friedrich Petzel (C14) were
celebrating with a bottle of champagne in the
stand they share yesterday, as they totalled
up their sales at the fair. “This is the best
we’ve ever done here,” said Ms Capitain.
Among her many sales were a large painting
by Georg Herold for around $500,000 and a set
of three Jorge Pardo wall sculptures ($65,000).
Another gallery director (who requested anonymity)
told The Art Newspaper: “We haven’t beaten our
art fair sales record, but with two more days to go
we could hit seven figures.”

The Scream.
By Mia Fineman
Nov. 22, 2005"I was walking along a path with two
friends—the sun was setting—suddenly
the sky turned blood red—I paused,
feeling exhausted, and leaned on the
fence—there was blood and tongues
of fire above the blue-black fjord and
the city—my friends walked on, and
I stood there trembling with anxiety—
and I sensed an infinite scream passing
through nature."
Surrealism and the
Unconscious Mind
Unconscious desire, self-destruction

Darian Leader
November 19, 2005
This is exactly the area that writers and artists
colonise. They explore not the rational goals of
human activity but what blocks these pursuits,
the impediments that give human life its richness
and its agony. By taking these dark threads and
magnifying them, they are faithful to the mysterious
world of desires and defences Freud mapped out in

On the face of things, Kate MccGwire and

career got off to a flying start when Charles

The differences between them, however,

British Political Cartoonist
in Era of the Enlightenment
James Gillray
By KEN JOHNSON
Most art has a limited shelf life. Minor forms
like caricature and political cartooning are
especially perishable because they depend
on the viewer's familiarity with forgotten
topics and personalities. The contemporary
caricaturist David Levine, for example, is a
fine draftsman, but the excitement of his
drawing is mainly in the way it transforms
the features of public luminaries we know
well through photographs. Will his art be
as compelling when his subjects have faded
from memory?That satiric visual journalism can transcend
its time has been proved. (See Goya's "Disasters
of War," for instance.) And there are examples in
an exhibition of prints by the English satirist
James Gillray (1756-1815) at the New York
Public Library that cross the line between
interesting artifact and still-exciting art.

he dutifully recorded his constant labors
with pen and paper.
