Houston philanthropists and art patrons John and Dominique de Menil established the Menil Foundation in 1954 to foster greater public understanding and appreciation of art, architecture, culture, religion, and philosophy. In 1987, the Menil Collection’s main museum building opened to the public. Today, the Menil Collection consists of a group of five art buildings and green spaces located within a residential neighborhood. The Menil remains committed to its founders' belief that art is essential to human experience, fostering direct personal encounters with works of art. The museum welcomes all visitors free of charge to its art buildings and surrounding green spaces.
Why would she be making up fictions about her classmates (dinner mates)...better yet, why are we supposed to be interested in this neurotic stuff going on in her head? ? Artists talk talk talk theses days... way too many verbs.
How deftly and kind your presentation of this work is Natalie, since I imagine "key early innovator of this style..." is an understatement considering what came soon after her showing with Peggy, extraordinary to see this collection, one deserved so many years ago, here's wishing new eyes and ages appropriately weave her work into our cultural history and into their creative lives
This has been one of the most inspiring talks I've heard, one that has been crucial to the molding of my art practice. I wish more people would be into this, but I'm so glad we have people like Dario, Ann and Carl that bring us such beautiful ideas. Thank you ❤.
Lots of great questions from the audience. It’s too bad these two don’t have a clue as to what magnetism is and what kind of understanding Pythagoras had. First, in order to understand magnetism, you must understand the nature of light. You must understand that light is not an emission, and neither is magnetism. Check out Ken Wheeler here on RU-vid at Theoria Apophasis.
Very underrated of the expressionists and not as well known as other artists of the period. The seaming simplified paintings and drawings will pull you in and have you reflect on form and colour. His work never seems overdone and has a strong yet subtle fluidity . He was one of my favourite painters. Hopefully one day I could see some of his work in person.
A beautiful painting indeed.The fake hair does nothing for this woke art.Rather than focusing of the dispair of powerless ancestors,why not highlight their victories and strengths?
The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) occurred on January 1, 1954, but over the next dozen years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_television
