Artist of the Month - October 2018

9/28/2018

What is modern painting?

Each month we will feature a different artist/student. This month we are featuring Esther Scholssberg's Girl with Curls (pictured below, right) inspired by artists Henri Matisse and Avi Ben-Simhon. 

What is modern painting? Is it the ability to set a three dimensional scene onto a flattened space? In the purple robe, Matisse explored this question and painted a woman in a room titled ​Purple Robe (pictured below, left). The scene is projected onto a two dimensional canvas using different colors and designs. Girl with Curls reflects this. The human form becomes a series of stripes, squiggles, grids and flowers - all painted with vibrant colors. In both paintings, the colors do not seem to come from nature. However, if we really notice, this synthetic color palette is seen in our daily lives dotted across our present/modern landscape.  (Written by: Miriam Solondz)

American Masters on PBS

9/4/2018

Looking for an interesting watch on TV ...

As the wild ride of the 1960’s came to a close, Eva Hesse, a 34 year-old German-born American artist was cresting the wave of a swiftly rising career. One of the few women recognized as central to the New York art scene, she had over 20 group shows scheduled for 1970 in addition to being chosen for a cover article in ArtForum Magazine. Her work was finally receiving both the critical and commercial attention it deserved. When she died in May, 1970 from a brain tumor, the life of one of that decades’ most passionate and brilliant artists was tragically cut short. Eva Hesse deepens the understanding of this extraordinary artist, not only in terms of her ground-breaking work, but also the life that provided the fertile soil for her achievements. With dozens of new interviews, high quality footage of Hesse’s artwork and a wealth of newly discovered archival imagery, the documentary not only traces Eva’s path but engages in a lively investigation into the creative community of 1960’s New York and Germany. Directed and produced by Marcie Begleiter. (Taken from PBS website).
