Harriet FeBland - 0 views

  •  
    During a long and distinguished career Harriet FeBland's sculpture, paintings, drawings and graphics have been shown in many countries outside the United States. These include England and France, Japan and Mexico. It was as an American abroad that this New York born and educated artist began her professional career. She lived and worked in England and France and actively participated in European art circles for more than a decade. Her recognition as a pioneer constructivist sculptor-painter came in the early 60's with her major New York exhibition "Plastic in Art" at the Galerie International. It was soon followed with an invitation from Thelma Newman to be included in the book "Plastics As An Art Form" published by Chilton Press in 1963. This work is still considered the eminent text on the subject today. It also highlights the handful of pioneer artist's working with plastics at that time, and the beginnings of 'construction' as the art form of Ms. FeBland.

Catherine Gfeller - 2 views

  •  
    Après s'être concentrée pendant plusieurs années sur le paysage de déserts, Catherine Gfeller choisit New York pour se tourner vers le paysage urbain; Elle crée de longues "Frises urbaines" dans des compositions soit horizontales soit verticales. Obternues par montages, collages et superpositons d'images, elles recréent un univers urbain à la fois proche et éloigné de la réalité de New York. Puis elle s'installe à Paris et crée de larges ensembles qui mêlent éléments architecturaux et personnages. Récemment Cather!ine Gfeller explore la vidéo et le son pour traiter de sujets plus personnels. Ses dernières pièces (installations vidéos, installations sonores et projections) sont de véritables univers romanesques: en mélangeant les données autobiographiques et fictionnelles, il s'agit dès lors d'évoquer la vie intérieure de personnages proches de nous aux prises avec leur quotidien ou en interaction avec le défilement de la ville. Depuis 1988 Catherine Gfeller a exposé ses travaux au Canada, aux Etats-Unis, en Israël, en Argentine, au Chili, en Angleterre, en Allemagne, en Belgique, en France, en Hollande, en Italie, en Slovénie et en Suisse, où ses oeuvres se trouvent dans de nombreuses collections publiques et privées. Elle participe régulièrement aux foires d'art contemporain comme Art Basel, Art Unlimited, Kunst Zurich, Armory Show, la Fiac, la Biennale de Ljubjana et Art Bruxelles.

Modern Sophistication in New York City's Upper West Side - 1 views

  • The minimal, contemporary dining room allows the impressive Manhattan skyline to take center stage.
  • In the six-year-old boy’s room, a custom window seat with drawer provides even more storage for toys.

    Today we return to the work of Frances Herrera, the inimitable New York interior designer behind Interiors by Francesca, LLC. Working with a young, sophisticated family in the Upper West Side, Herrera transformed a blank slate into a comfortable, kid-friendly home that exudes an unquestionably chic, cozy and polished sense of style.

  • escape the confines of population growth, urban sprawl and industrialism, and it also attempted to embrace the exotic, unfamiliar and distant
  • ideologies and events of the French Revolution laid the background
  • in the second half of the nineteenth century, "Realism"
  • Romanticism elevated the achievements of what it perceived as misunderstood heroic individuals and artists that altered society. It also legitimized the individual imagination as a critical authority which permitted freedom from classical notions of form in art
  • Despite this general usage of the term, a precise characterization and specific definition of Romanticism has been the subject of debate in the fields of intellectual history and literary history throughout the twentieth century, without any great measure of consensus emerging
  • t is the period of 1815 to 1848 which must be regarded as the true age of Romanticism in music - the age of the last compositions of Beethoven (d. 1827) and Schubert (d. 1828), of the works of Schumann (d. 1856) and Chopin (d.1849), of the early struggles of Berlioz and Richard Wagner, of the great virtuosi such as Paganini (d. 1840), and the young Liszt and Thalberg
  • At that time Germany was a multitude of small separate states, and Goethe's works would have a seminal influence in developing a unifying sense of nationalism
  • The poet and painter William Blake is the most extreme example of the Romantic sensibility in Britain, epitomised by his claim “I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's.”
  • In predominantly Roman Catholic countries Romanticism was less pronounced than in Germany and Britain, and tended to develop later, after the rise of Napoleon. François-René de Chateaubriand is often called the "Father of French Romanticism". In France, the movement is associated with the nineteenth century, particularly in the paintings of Théodore Géricault and Eugène Delacroix, the plays, poems and novels of Victor Hugo (such as "Les Misérables" and "Ninety-Three"), and the novels of Stendhal.
  • But by the 1880s, psychological and social realism was competing with romanticism in the novel.
  • One of Romanticism's key ideas and most enduring legacies is the assertion of nationalism, which became a central theme of Romantic art and political philosophy
