Su historia es corta pero intensa, la de una ciudad en perpetuo crecimiento y reinvención. Lejos queda el cliché del petróleo y los cowboys; superada está la imagen que mostraba la teleserie del mismo nombre; curado, el trauma colectivo desencadenado por el asesinato de John F. Kennedy en 1963. Y mientras todo fluye, algo permanece inmutable en el alma de Dallas: su pasión por las artes. Bien lo sabe Janet Kafka, cónsul honoraria de España para todo el norte de Texas. Acostumbrada a recibir visitas, esta antigua alumna de la Complutense nos enseña los rincones más especiales de su ciudad natal. Desde Founder's Plaza caminamos hasta el memorial dedicado a JFK, a una manzana del lugar donde Lee Harvey Oswald acabó con la vida del presidente un 22 de noviembre. En el inmueble desde el que efectuó los disparos abre sus puertas el Sixth Floor Museum, institución que recuerda el magnicidio; la visitamos en compañía de Óscar Vela, de la oficina de turismo de Dallas. Paseamos por el Downtown y nos detenemos en el enorme distrito de las artes, repleto de museos, teatros y auditorios firmados por reconocidos arquitectos como Renzo Piano, I. M. Pei, Norman Foster o Rem Koolhaas. En el veterano Dallas Museum of Art nos atiende su director, Agustín Arteaga. Además contamos con la directora de turismo de Visit Dallas, Liliana Rivera, que nos acompaña hasta Deep Ellum, barrio muy animado y musical en cuya Blues Alley nos espera el muralista urbano Hatziel Flores. Después de echar un vistazo al también bohemio Bishop Arts District ponemos rumbo hacia la Universidad Metodista del Sur, que atesora una de las mejores colecciones de arte español de Estados Unidos en el Meadows Museum. Su directora, Amanda Dotseth, y su responsable de comunicación para España y Latinoamérica, Julián Hernández, nos invitan a recorrer esta peculiar pinacoteca inspirada en El Prado de Madrid. Terminamos viaje en la vecina Fort Worth, donde Estela Martínez, de su departamento de turismo, nos muestra las particularidades de una ciudad que –ésta sí– conserva un auténtico espíritu vaquero, compatible con el amor por el arte que destila su Kimbell Art Museum.

MY ARCHITECT, is a deep dive into the life and times of world-famous architect Louis Kahn. Louis Kahn's son Nathaniel always hoped that someday his father would come and live with him and his mother, but Kahn never left his wife. In 1974 Kahn was found dead in a men's room in Penn Station when Nathaniel was only 11years old. Kahn left behind a brilliant legacy of intensely powerful and spiritual buildings – geometric compositions of brick, concrete, and light, that in the words of the Los Angeles Times “change your life.” He is considered by many architectural historians the most important architect of the second half of the 20th century. Kahn's dramatic death laid bare a complex personal life of secrets and broken promises: he led not a double, but a triple life. In MY ARCHITECT, Nathaniel travels the world visiting his father's buildings and haunts in this film, meeting his father's contemporaries, colleagues, students, wives, and children. He sets out to reconcile his father's life and work. I.M. Pei, Frank Gehry, and Philip Johnson speak movingly of Kahn's accomplishments (the Salk Institute, the Exeter Library, the Kimbell Art Museum, the Capital Complex of Bangladesh) and the women and children in his life shed light on this secretive, peripatetic man—a dynamo who gave selflessly to his art – but whose relationships were left on the drawing board, only to find completion in MY ARCHITECT. Director, Producer, narrator and son, Nathaniel Kahn joins us for a conversation on his current view of his father's life, his collaboration with MY ARCHITECT cinematographer, Bob Richman, and the opportunity to share his compelling journey with a new audience through this newly restored and remastered version of his groundbreaking documentary.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Euripides' great tragedy, which was first performed in Athens in 405 BC when the Athenians were on the point of defeat and humiliation in a long war with Sparta. The action seen or described on stage was brutal: Pentheus, king of Thebes, is torn into pieces by his mother in a Bacchic frenzy and his grandparents condemned to crawl away as snakes. All this happened because Pentheus had denied the divinity of his cousin Dionysus, known to the audience as god of wine, theatre, fertility and religious ecstasy. The image above is a detail of a Red-Figure Cup showing the death of Pentheus (exterior) and a Maenad (interior), painted c. 480 BC by the Douris painter. This object can be found at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas.

Fine Artist John Domont discusses the challenges of visually representing the spiritual and the physical world in his works of art. “I am working to discover a language based on internal and external experiences and circumstances that reveal our commonalities,” said John.John's body of work includes photography, painting, and writing. His compositions represent the human experience integrating the sensed with the known through the realms of color, form, composition, and light.John puts aside his emotional ego to become a blank slate onto which he can enter the state of receiving from the “all that is.” “The joy comes from expressing or being in dialogue with the silent unknown in the living moment,” said John. Chris and John share notes on the challenge between balancing masculine technical skills with feminine intuitiveness in their work. John cites William Turner's process, whose work is currently on display in the “Turner's Modern World” exhibit at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, as a source of inspiration.Whether John's process is mystical or sensualist, he emphasizes the importance of seeing, hearing, feeling, and experiencing life in a state of unification. According to the artist, his art expresses, who we are, where we are, and what we share in common.“You are an essence of creation that needs to be fulfilled,” said Domont.

For everyone interested in the enduring appeal of Louis Kahn, this book demonstrates that a close look at how Kahn put his buildings together will reveal a deeply felt philosophy. Louis I. Kahn is one of the most influential and poetic architects of the twentieth century, a figure whose appeal extends beyond the realm of specialists. In this book, noted Kahn expert John Lobell explores how Kahn's focus on structure, respect for materials, clarity of program, and reverence for details come together to manifest an overall philosophy. Kahn's work clearly conveys a kind of "transcendent rootedness"--a rootedness in the fundamentals of architecture that also asks soaring questions about our experience of light and space, and even how we fit into the world. In Louis Kahn: The Philosophy of Architecture, John Lobell seeks to reveal how Kahn's buildings speak to grand humanistic concerns. Through examinations of five of Kahn's great buildings--the Richards Medical Research Building in Philadelphia; the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla; the Phillips Exeter Academy Library in New Hampshire; the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth; and the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven--Lobell presents a clear but detailed look at how the way these buildings are put together presents Kahn's philosophy, including how Kahn wishes us to experience them. An architecture book that touches on topics that addresses the universal human interests of consciousness and creativity, Louis Kahn: Architecture as Philosophy (Monacelli Press, 2020) helps us understand our place and the nature of well-being in the built environment. Bryan Toepfer, AIA, NCARB, CAPM is the Principal Architect for TOEPFER Architecture, PLLC, an Architecture firm specializing in Residential Architecture and Virtual Reality. He has authored two books, “Contractors CANNOT Build Your House,” and “Six Months Now, ARCHITECT for Life.” He is a professor at Alfred State College and the Director of Education for the AIA Rochester Board of Directors.

Art history has of late been more art and less history. University enrollment in pre-contemporary art is dwindling, and cost-intensive mega-exhibitions of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are stilled as the pandemic roars on. For perspective we turn to one of the world's leading experts in 19th century painting, Dr. George T.M. Shackelford, Deputy Director of Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum. He shares anecdotes about our shared summer as interns at the Metropolitan Museum of Art after we graduated from Dartmouth, along with details about reopening the Kimbell, how training in art history is faring, his experience with debunking a would-be masterpiece, the urgency of recruiting students of color to the museum profession, and upcoming shows in Fort Worth.

Art history has of late been more art and less history. University enrollment in pre-contemporary art is dwindling, and cost-intensive mega-exhibitions of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism are stilled as the pandemic roars on.

Louis Kahn (1901–1974), one of the most important architects of the postwar period, is widely admired for his great monumental works, including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Salk Institute, and the National Assembly Complex in Bangladesh. However, the importance of his houses has been largely overlooked. This beautiful book is the first to look at Kahn’s nine major private houses. Beginning with his earliest encounters with Modernism in the late 1920s and continuing through his iconic work of the 1960s and 1970s, the authors trace the evolution of the architect’s thinking, which began and matured through his design of houses and their interiors, a process inspired by his interactions with clients and his admiration for vernacular building traditions. Richly illustrated with new and period photographs and original drawings, as well as previously unpublished materials from personal interviews, archives, and Kahn’s own writings, The Houses of Louis Kahn shows how his ideas about domestic spaces challenged conventions, much like his major public commissions, and were developed into one of the most remarkable expressions of the American house.

In this episode of Art Minded, eminent Italian Renaissance and Baroque scholars discuss a selection of masterpieces featured in the special exhibition Flesh and Blood: Italian Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum. The paintings discussed in this podcast, by El Greco, the Caracci brothers, and Caravaggio, embody the contrasts of this exhibition: beauty and violence, seduction and reverence, tradition and modernity, classical renaissance composure and baroque dynamism.   Guillaume Kientz, curator of European art at the Kimbell Art Museum, begins the discussion with Babette Bohn of Texas Christian University and Keith Christiansen, John Pope-Hennessey Chairman of European Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

This episode of Art Minded focuses on the curators’ process of creating the special exhibition Renoir: The Body, The Senses. From the inspiration for the show and decision to include other artists to worldwide travels and last-minute loans, the exhibition curators discuss their most memorable behind-the-scenes moments.    George Shackelford, deputy director of the Kimbell Art Museum, moderates a conversation with exhibition co-curator Esther Bell, Robert and Martha Berman Lipp Senior Curator of the Clark Art Institute.  

Présentation de l’exposition par Guillaume Kientz, Curator of European Art, Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Etats Unis, et Charlotte Chastel-Rousseau, conservatrice de la peinture espagnole et portugaise, Musée du Louvre, département des Peintures, tous deux commissaires de l’exposition. Cette rétrospective, organisée par la Réunion des musées nationaux – Grand Palais, le musée du Louvre et l’Art Institute de Chicago est la première grande exposition monographique française consacrée au génie que fut Greco. Elle est l’occasion de redécouvrir, de Venise à Tolède, le parcours de cet artiste hors norme et le caractère novateur de son art. Montrant des œuvres fortes et décisives, l’exposition restitue au public une image juste, puissante mais aussi inattendue de Greco, un artiste plus humaniste que mystique, au tempérament fougueux, spirituel et littéraire. Un artiste intemporel frappé du sceau de la modernité.

"The Altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo" is the centerpiece of the UAMA’s Samuel H. Kress Collection, which consists of more than 60 European paintings, sculptures and decorative objects dating from the 14th through the 19th centuries. In addition to the Altarpiece, the Kress holdings include paintings by Vittore Carpaccio, Jusepe de Ribera, Domenico Tintoretto, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Horace Vernet, Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and many others. The technical analysis of the paintings, under the direction of Claire Barry, chief conservator for the Kimbell Art Museum, allowed scholars to look beneath the painted layers and to see the artists’ preparatory underdrawings. Sept. 2008.

Barbara Anderson of the Getty Research Institute gave a lecture titled "In the Shadow of a Famous Master: Maestro Bartolomé’s Innovations in the Altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo" September 4, 2008. Following two years of groundbreaking research and technical analysis, the University of Arizona Museum of Art’s magnificent altarpiece of Ciudad Rodrigo has returned to Tucson. Since the fall of 2006, this exquisite group of 26 Spanish medieval paintings has undergone ultraviolet light and X-ray examination, as well as infrared reflectography at the Kimbell Art Museum’s Conservation Studio in Fort Worth, Texas. The resulting scientific and art historical research have unlocked 500-year-old secrets about the altarpiece’s creation and realization.
