One of the residents of the Hermannsburg mission in central Australia was Albert Namatjira. He showed a keen interest in Rex Battarbee’s watercolours. Rex taught him all he knew, including how to sign his name in the white man’s way, and the Namatjira show began. When I look back at my photos of central Australia […]

Description To Make a World captures a 1940s America that was rendered fragile by the Great Depression and made anxious by a global conflict. Although much has been written about the glorious triumph of the Second World War, what has dimmed over time are memories of the anxious tenor of life on the home front, when the country was far distant from the battlefields and yet profoundly at risk. The exhibition centers on five paintings Ault made between 1943 and 1948 depicting the crossroads of Russell’s Corners in Woodstock, N.Y. The additional twenty-two artists represented in this exhibition include some as celebrated as Edward Hopper and Andrew Wyeth, while others are scarcely known to today’s art audiences. Taken together, their artworks reveal an aesthetic vein running through 1940s American art that previously has not been identified. From their remote corners of the country, these artists conveyed a still quietude that seems filled with potentialities. To Make a World brings viewers back into the world of the American 1940s, drawing them in through the least likely of places and spaces: not grand actions, not cataclysmic events, not epoch-making personalities, posters, and headlines, but silent regions where some mystery seems always on the verge of being disclosed. Alexander Nemerov, the Vincent Scully Professor of the History of Art at Yale University, is the curator of the exhibition.

El neoclasicismo hiper luminoso de David Ligare (Oak Park, Illinois, USA). Este pintor inició su formación en el Art Center College of Design de Los Ángeles. Su primera exposición notable tuvo lugar en 1978 en Nueva York. Desde entonces su arte ha sido aplaudido y reconocido y sus pinturas se encuentran en diversos museos: Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York, Museo de Bellas Artes de San Francisco, el Gabinetto Disegni e Stampi degli Uffizzi etc. Desde finales de los setenta se dedica a pintar naturalezas muertas, paisajes y figuras de la antigüedad grecorromana, aunque no imitando precisamente a Alma Tadema (u otros decimonónicos) sino dotándolas de un aire nuevo y casi intemporal (si no fuese por las claras referencias arquitectónicas clásicas). Reside en Salinas, California. Parece obvio, al mirar algunos de sus cuadros, que la luz y los paisajes de su tierra natal con fuente clara de inspiración para este pintor. http://www.davidligare.com/ https://www.facebook.com/davidligare/ https://www.1stdibs.com/creators/david-ligare-1945-american/art/paintings/ https://winfieldgallery.com/artists/david-ligare/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbc9wpnL20k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfaoF6ugGqY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXEIMZeQ_Io Todas las imágenes y/o vídeos que se muestran corresponden al artista o artistas referenciados.
