For the 32nd episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Mary Morton, Curator and Head of the Department of French Paintings, and Kimberly Jones, Curator of 19th Century French Paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Together, they discuss their work on the landmark exhibition, “Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment,” and the accompanying exhibition catalogue.The conversation centers on the daring spirit of the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, a moment that saw artists defy the prestigious Paris Salon to showcase new ways of capturing modern life. Jones and Morton share insights into the forces behind Impressionism's revolutionary appeal, from the political and social upheavals in France to the transformation of Paris under Haussmannization. They explain how these changes inspired artists to redefine not only the subjects they painted but also how art itself was exhibited and experienced.This exhibition and catalog shine a light on lesser-known figures who were critical to the movement's evolution, challenging visitors to unlearn what they think they know about Impressionism. With its juxtapositions of Salon and Impressionist works, “Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment” allows audiences to feel the radical nature of these pieces that once shocked critics but are now beloved worldwide.“Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment” is on view at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. through January 19, 2025.

Episode No. 675 is a holiday weekend clips episode featuring artist Ken Gonzales-Day. The Yale Center for British Art is presenting "Ken Gonzales-Day: Composition in Black and Brown" a two-part public art project informed by Gonzales-Day's investigation of YCBA's collections. Both works, a billboard along Interstate 95 in West Haven, Conn., and a site-specific vinyl work on the museum, feature Gonzales-Day's interrogations of historical constructions of race and the limits of representation. The billboard is on view into October 2024; the work at YCBA is on view until December 2024. Gonzales-Day's work considers the historical construction of race and the limits of representational systems, such as photographs of lynchings and museum displays. His book “Lynching in the West: 1850-1935” expanded our understanding of racialized violence in the United States through the discovery of photographs of lynchings of Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and African-Americans in California. His work has been the subject of solo or two-person exhibitions at museums such as the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. This episode was taped in 2021 on the occasion of Gonzales-Day's inclusion in at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. For images, see Episode No. 498.

Paul Getty Museum du 25 février au 25 mai 2025 et à l'Art Institute of Chicago du 29 juin au 5 octobre 2025.Alors qu'en 2024 nous commémorons le 130ème anniversaire de la mort de Gustave Caillebotte (1848-1894), cette exposition explore la prédilection de l'artiste impressionniste pour les figures masculines et les portraits d'hommes, et ambitionne d'éclairer d'un nouveau jour la vie et l'oeuvre d'un des plus grands peintres du XIXe siècle. En 2021 et 2022, le J. Paul Getty Museum et le musée d'Orsay ont acquis respectivement deux chefs-d'œuvre de Caillebotte, Jeune homme à sa fenêtre et Partie de bateau (ce dernier classé « trésor national » et acquis grâce au mécénat exclusif de LVMH). Au centre de ces deux tableaux, proches du spectateur, deux figures d'hommes, l'un représenté de dos, dominant et observant le nouveau Paris d'Haussmann, l'autre, face à nous, ramant énergiquement dans un canot de promenade. Ces oeuvres sont emblématiques du travail de l'artiste, dont près de 70% des tableaux de figures représentent exclusivement des hommes, et qui semble s'être intéressé surtout au côté masculin de la modernité, à la différence de Manet, Degas ou Renoir par exemple, pour qui la « vie moderne » s'est incarnée plutôt dans des figures féminines ou des scènes de sociabilités mixtes.Fidèle au programme du « réalisme », Caillebotte ne prend ses modèles que dans son environnement le plus immédiat : ses frères, ses amis, les passants des rues de son quartier, des ouvriers ou domestiques travaillant pour sa famille, les canotiers avec qui il navigue sur l'Yerres ou sur la Seine. Il ne peint pas l'Homme, mais des hommes, c'est-à-dire des individus et des existences particulières. Si l'identité de plusieurs d'entre eux nous échappent toujours, le travail préparatoire à l'exposition a permis d'apporter des informations nouvelles quant à la biographie de ceux qui furent les modèles de prédilection de Caillebotte. « Chroniqueur pictural de l'existence moderne » (selon les mots du critique Gustave Geffroy), le peintre met au coeur de son oeuvre une certaine « condition masculine » qui est aussi la sienne, celle d'un jeune bourgeois parisien, peintre d'avantgarde mais aussi « amateur » de sport ou d'horticulture, célibataire (c'est-à-dire non marié et sans enfant) épris de liberté, de modernité et de fraternité(s).

Episode No. 674 features curators Kristen Collins and Nancy K. Turner, and curator Thea Liberty Nichols. Collins and Turner are the curators of "Lumen: The Art and Science of Light" at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. "Lumen" explores how scientific understandings of light shaped the visual culture of the Middle Ages. It includes over 100 works, including celestial globes, golden altars, and illuminated manuscripts from the Christian and Islamic worlds. It's on view through December 8, 2024. "Lumen" is part of PST ART : Art & Science Collide, a regional cultural celebration taking place across over 70 Southland exhibition and performance spaces.

With Mark Pascale, Thea Liberty Nichols is the co-curator of "Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective," which opens at the Hammer Museum on October 12 and which runs through January 5, 2025. Ramberg was a painter who developed an intense visual vocabulary derived from often fetishized objects such as corsets, hands, high-heeled shoes and hair, building from them into arresting compositions. Late in her life -- Ramberg died in 1995 at the age of 49 -- she also made an extraordinary series of quilts. The exhibition was a significant critical hit at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it was on view over the summer. The wonderful catalogue was published by the Art Institute of Chicago, which originated the show. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $45.
Episode No. 673 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Matthew Brandt. Brandt is included in "Second Nature: Photography in the Age of the Anthropocene" at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University. The exhibition shows how 45 photo-based artists from around the world have examined the Anthropocene. "Second Nature" was curated by Jessica May and Marshall N. Price and is on view through January 5, 2025. An excellent catalogue was published by Rizzoli Electa. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $49-60.

He's received solo shows at museums such as the Newark Museum, and he's been included in major group shows at museums such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and more. His work is in nearly all major institutional US photography collections.

Episode No. 654 features curator Karen Hellman and artist Myra Greene. With Carolyn Peter, Hellman is the curator of "Nineteenth-Century Photography Now" at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. The exhibition examines how many of the conventions and processes established in photography's early years remain of interest to artists working today. Historical artists within the exhibition include Anna Atkins, Gustave Le Gray, Nadar, Julia Margaret Cameron, Roger Fenton, and Carleton Watkins. The exhibition is on view through July 7. Claire L'Heureux and Antares Wells assisted the co-curators. Greene is among the 21 contemporary artists on view. Her work uses photography and textiles to explore representations of the body and race. Core to her practice is an understanding that color is materially and culturally dependent on context, and historically has been. She has had solo exhibitions at museums such as the Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia, Atlanta, the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft, Louisville, and has been included in group exhibitions at the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, Atlanta, the Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and more. Ten artists in the exhibition previously have been guests on The Modern Art Notes Podcast: Andrea Chung; Liz Deschenes; Ken Gonzales-Day; An-My Lê; Lisa Oppenheim; Wendy Red Star; Mark Ruwedel; Paul Mpagi Sepuya (second visit); Stephanie Syjuco (second visit); and Carrie Mae Weems.

Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles through May 19. The exhibition looks at how and why blood has been represented in medieval manuscripts and in some contemporary art too.

Episode No. 650 features curator Anne-Lise Desmas and author Jim Moske. With Emerson Bowyer, Desmas is the co-curator of "Camille Claudel," a retrospective of the French modernist sculptor's career, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

The exhibition is on view through July 21. Getty Publications has published a excellent catalogue. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $65-75. Moske is the author of "Deaths of Artists." The book uses two fragile scrapbooks in the archives of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York both to look at how newspapers in the early twentieth century covered the deaths of artists, and to jump off from that often sensational coverage to learn more about how artists were considered and remembered. The Met has recently digitized the scrapbooks that instigated Moske's examination. Amazon and Bookshop offer the book for about $37. Instagram: Jim Moske, Tyler Green.

As Jesus begins teaching his disciples directly about his crucifixion, St. Peter rebukes Jesus for thinking that the Messiah must suffer. However, Jesus turns the tables on St. Peter and points out to him and all that we all must suffer and die in light of his own death and resurrection. Through this, we come to know more deeply the love of Christ for us.Image: The Crucifixion, unknown artist, public domain, from the J. Paul Getty Museum.

Today I'm talking to Andrew Westover, Eleanor McDonald Storza Director of Education at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, about how values-engaged teaching can transform gallery experiences and foster deep connections. Andrew Westover leads the learning team at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, focusing on connecting people with art and ideas to inspire civic life. In this role, Andrew develops initiatives, partnerships, and diverse programming to engage Atlanta's communities. Andrew previously served as the Keith Haring Director of Education at the New Museum in New York, shaping the vision for the education department. Their diverse experience includes roles at the J. Paul Getty Museum, the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum, and the Phoenix Art Museum. In this chat we're exploring:what values-engaged teaching is in a gallery setting and how it can be applied. the importance of self-knowledge and understanding your own values as essential foundations for effective teaching in a gallery setting. the 5 values that underpin the work of High Museum of Art's education department and how their work is rooted in listening, engaging in dialogue, building consensus, and designing spaces for various communities. how four key words—experiences, identities, affinities, and beliefs—serve as a bridge in connecting the museum's collections and exhibitions with its visitors. the importance of genuine connection in the museum, and how connection is essential for experiences to be meaningful and not merely a superficial interaction. practical strategies and examples of how to navigate conflict during gallery discussions, including a detailed example of addressing emotional responses. Andrew concludes by sharing tips for listeners looking to adopt similar strategies for values-engaged teaching in their practice or organisation.

Rodney Smith was a photographic visionary, with an allegiance to the image above all else. Long acclaimed for his iconic black-and-white pictures—not to forget his later jewel-like color scenes—Smith captured enchanted worlds full of subtle magic and lighthearted humor. Using only analog film and the aesthetics of natural light, his dream-like photographs are matched in quality by the craft and physical beauty of his prints. Smith died in 2016, yet the enduring precision, elegance, and whimsy of his world view is nowhere more evident than in our conversation with Leslie Smolan, his widow and executive director of his estate; and his long-time assistant, master printer Terence Falk. Listen in as Smolan discusses key aspects of Smith's career development and describes her recent collaboration with the J. Paul Getty Museum on the book, Rodney Smith: A Leap of Faith. And Falk provides firsthand anecdotes about the unique experience of working on a Rodney Smith shoot—an experience that led one powerful New York executive to call his secretary from a midtown pay phone and exclaim, “I feel like I'm in Ferris Bueller's Day Off!” As New York Fashion Week ushers in the fall season, we're looking back on the career of one of the most distinctive photographers to infuse business and fashion with a timeless sense of style and grace.

Episode No. 613 features author Prudence Peiffer and museum director Timothy Potts. Peiffer is the author of "The Slip: The New York City Street That Changed American Art Forever." The book, out this week from Harper, is a group biography of seven artists -- Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman -- who worked on Coenties Slip in the 1950s and '60s. Coenties Slip was a street that overlooked the East River in lower Manhattan. Peiffer's book argues for not only the importance of the artists themselves, but for where and how they worked as being important to the development of post-war art in New York. Peiffer is director of content at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Amazon and Bookshop offer "The Slip" for $22-36. Potts discusses the J. Paul Getty Museum's co-acquisition (with the National Portrait Gallery, London) of Joshua Reynolds' Portrait of Mai (ca. 1776). The painting, among Reynolds' finest works, is on view at the National Portrait Gallery. The first presentation at the Getty will be in 2026.
Episode No. 612 features curators Susan Davidson and Stephanie Schrader. Davidson is the curator of "Robert Motherwell: Pure Painting," which is at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth through September 3. The exhibition is the first Motherwell paintings retrospective in a quarter-century. Motherwell was a New York-based painter prominent in the development of abstract expressionism. The exhibition catalogue was published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $55. From Fort Worth, "Motherwell" will travel to the Bank Austria Kunstforum in Vienna. Along with Freyda Spira and Thomas Lederballe, Schrader is a co-curator of "Beyond the Light: Identity and Place in 19th-Century Danish Art," which is at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, through August 20. The exception looks at the development of Danish art across both paintings and drawings, and shows how artists helped develop the nation's cultural identity. The excellent catalogue was published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which originated the show. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $45.
“Antoine Caron (1521-1599)”Le théâtre de l'histoireau Musée national de la Renaissance – Château d'Écouendu 5 avril au 3 juillet 2023Interview de Matteo Gianeselli, Conservateur du patrimoine au musée national de la Renaissance – château d'Écouen, et commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Écouen, le 2 mai 2023, durée 21'34,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2023/05/03/3435_antoine-caron_musee-national-de-la-renaissance-chateau-d-ecouen/Communiqué de presseCommissaire :Matteo Gianeselli, Conservateur du patrimoine au musée national de la Renaissance – château d'ÉcouenDans la lignée des grandes expositions et recherches monographiques lancées depuis vingt ans par le musée du Louvre et des expositions les plus prestigieuses du musée national de la Renaissance autour du dialogue entre les arts, l'exposition Antoine Caron (1521-1599). Le théâtre de l'Histoire, coproduite avec la RMN-GP, entend replacer sur le devant de la scène l'un des artistes français les plus influents de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle. Bien qu'Antoine Caron ait travaillé successivement pour cinq monarques, de François Ier à Henri IV, et pour la reine mère Catherine de Médicis, sa carrière n'a pas fait l'objet d'une exposition à la hauteur de sa réputation d'alors. Grâce à des oeuvres d'Antoine Caron et de son cercle (peintures, manuscrits, dessins, gravures, tapisseries …), certaines jamais présentées au public, l'exposition témoigne des multiples facettes du génie et du rayonnement de cet artiste oublié, ainsi que de la polyvalence du métier de peintre à la Renaissance. Pour cette occasion sont réunies, pour la première fois en France depuis le XVIe siècle, les huit tapisseries de La Tenture des Valois commandée par Catherine de Médicis.Un parcours inédit et des prêts exceptionnels Réunissant plus de 80 oeuvres au coeur du château d'Écouen dans une architecture et un décor contemporains des créations d'Antoine Caron, l'exposition interroge la place de cet artiste indissociable de la Renaissance française comme inventeur, fournisseur de modèles et dont l'influence se perpétue bien au-delà de sa mort. Le parcours de l'exposition revient sur le profil de l'artiste dans le contexte de sa formation autour du chantier du château de Fontainebleau, notamment à travers ses liens profonds avec les Italiens Primatice (1503-1570) et Niccolò dell'Abate (1509-1571), mais surtout sur les échanges entre peinture, dessin, sculpture et tapisserie. Dans ce contexte s'affirme comme emblématique le prêt consenti par les Galeries des Offices de Florence de la célèbre Tenture des Valois, tissée à Bruxelles pour Catherine de Médicis et qui n'a pas revu la France, dans son intégralité, depuis plus de quatre siècles. En filigrane, ce sont des problématiques passionnantes de l'art de la Renaissance qui se tissent : rôle du dessin, relations entre artiste et commanditaire, remise en question des frontières traditionnellement établies entre art majeur et art mineur, entre artiste et artisan. L'exposition bénéficie du soutien des plus grandes institutions françaises (Bibliothèque nationale de France, musée du Louvre, Mobilier national, Musée d'arts de Nantes, Mucem de Marseille…) et internationales (Gallerie degli Uffizi de Florence, The J. Paul Getty Museum de Los Angeles, Courtauld Gallery de Londres…). Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

We meet living legend DUANE MICHALS (b. 1932, McKeesport, PA) one of the GREATEST photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. For more than 60 years he has pushed photography and art to new dimensions. Without doubt, so many contemporary artists have been inspired by, and have directly referenced, the groundbreaking work of Duane Michals - he has truly shifted the way we think about art forever!!! Duane Michals is an artist who has been much imitated, highly influential and endlessly re-inventive. He celebrated his 91st birthday the week before this episode was recorded, so a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Duane!!!Michals first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s. In an era heavily influenced by photojournalism, Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives. The sequences, for which he is widely known, appropriate cinema's frame-by-frame format. Michals has also incorporated text as a key component in his works. Rather than serving a didactic or explanatory function, his handwritten text adds another dimension to the images' meaning and gives voice to Michals' singular musings, which are poetic, tragic, and humorous, often all at once.Over the past five decades, Michals' work has been exhibited in the United States and abroad. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, hosted Michals' first solo exhibition (1970). In 2019, The Morgan Library and Museum in New York exhibited a career retrospective of Michals' work The Illusions of the Photographer: Duane Michals at the Morgan. More recently, he had one-person shows at the Odakyu Museum, Tokyo (1999), and at the International Center of Photography, New York (2005). In 2008, Michals celebrated his 50th anniversary as a photographer with a retrospective exhibition at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, Greece, and the Scavi Scaligeri in Verona, Italy.Michals's work belongs to numerous permanent collections in the U.S. and abroad, including the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Michals's archive is housed at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.Michals received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 and worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography deepened in the late 1950s. He currently lives and works in New York City, USA.Follow @TheDuaneMichals on Instagram.Views more than 50 recent short films at Duane's Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/duanemichalsLearn more at DC Gallery: https://www.dcmooregallery.com/artists/duane-michals Hosted on Acast.

In a world finding its way out of years of a pandemic way of life and restrictions, Aaron Paley's long career in championing cultural connections may be a winning path. Aaron's incessant creative programming in the public spaces of Los Angeles is grounded in his impressive credentials. He received a Masters in Business (MBA) in non-profit Arts Management from UCLA and an undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley in Architecture at the College of Environmental Design. To some, Aaron Paley with Katie Bergin, in founding the Community Arts Resources(CARS) organization 34 years ago, accomplished the impossible in a City like Los Angeles, California. They found a way to link culture, the arts, civic institutions and public spaces, bringing diverse peoples together in a sprawling metropolitan environment. Drawing upon models from around the world, here are only a few of the highlights of how Aaron's championing of cultural and arts connections have enriched Los Angeles and inspired other cities: - At the J. Paul Getty Museum and Center's 25th Anniversary, produced ten free weekend festivals in ten different neighborhoods- Co-created, produced and implemented CicLAvia, a car free, open for pedestrians and bicyclists where Los Angeles residents can walk, bike and socialize inspired by Ciclovia, the weekly street closure developed in Bogota, Columbia - The Los Angeles Philharmonic launched its 100 year celebration with a free day long open streets festival and live music event from downtown to the Hollywood Bowl. As a native of an often disconnected City like Los Angeles accustomed to being separated in cars, Aaron attributes his vision of the power of culture and art for creating connections to having been brought up in a Jewish Yiddish-speaking environment. It inspired him to look at the great diversity of his City which was the essence of its civic history. He and Katie Bergin started this idea of cultural programming in 1989 with Community Arts Resources, or CARS, and then created a program called Yiddishkayt in 1994, to focus on the Jewish Yiddish culture and language. They went on to tap into the great art and cultural menu of neighborhoods that sweep through all corners of Los Angeles. Listen to Aaron's exciting ideas for all that awaits the City in the coming years.
This abundantly illustrated book is an illuminating exploration of the impact of medieval imagery on three hundred years of visual culture. From the soaring castles of Sleeping Beauty to the bloody battles of Game of Thrones, from Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings to mythical beasts in Dungeons & Dragons, and from Medieval Times to the Renaissance Faire, the Middle Ages have inspired artists, playwrights, filmmakers, gamers, and writers for centuries. Indeed, no other historical era has captured the imaginations of so many creators. The Fantasy of the Middle Ages: An Epic Journey Through Imaginary Medieval Worlds (J. Paul Getty Museum, 2022) aims to uncover the many reasons why the Middle Ages have proven so applicable to a variety of modern moments from the eighteenth through the twenty-first century. These “medieval” worlds are often the perfect ground for exploring contemporary cultural concerns and anxieties, saying much more about the time and place in which they were created than they do about the actual conditions of the medieval period. With over 140 color illustrations, from sources ranging from thirteenth-century illuminated manuscripts to contemporary films and video games, and a preface by Game of Thrones costume designer Michele Clapton, The Fantasy of the Middle Ages will surprise and delight both enthusiasts and scholars. This title is published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from June 21 to September 11, 2022. Larisa Grollemond is the assistant curator of manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum. She received her Ph.D. in art history from the University of Pennsylvania and was a contributing editor for Book of Beasts: The Bestiary in the Medieval World (Getty Publications, 2019). Bryan C. Keene (he/él/they/elle) is assistant professor of art history at Riverside City College and a former associate curator of manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum. He specializes in codex cultures of the global Middle Ages and fantasy medievalisms. He holds a Ph.D. from the Courtauld Institute of Art, at the University of London. Evan Zarkadas (MA) is an independent scholar of European and Medieval history and an educator. He received his master's in history from the University of Maine focusing on Medieval Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean, medieval identity, and ethnicity during the late Middle Ages.

In episode 253 UNP founder and curator Grant Scott is in his shed reflecting on the mistakes made when staging a photography festival, the importance of developing a thick skin as a photographer and honesty in the world of generated photography. Plus this week, photographer Landry Major takes on the challenge of supplying Grant with an audio file no longer than 5 minutes in length in which she answer's the question ‘What Does Photography Mean to You?' Landry Major's childhood summers were spent on a family dairy farm in Nova Scotia. Her ongoing series Keepers of the West takes her back to fields at dawn, and the family-run ranches of the American West. She believes that visions of the American West have long been central to our culture, but the way of life of the cowboy and the family-run ranch is fast disappearing as over half of all family owned ranches in Montana are run by people over 65 and many of their children are not choosing to remain in ranching. The images she creates are made up of the places, people, and creatures that have welcomed her into their world to remind us of the arresting moments of grace and beauty found in a life lived under the wide-open western skies. Major's work has been widely exhibited including at the Griffin Museum of Photography Winchester and the J. Paul Getty Museum and she has received multiple awards. www.landrymajor.com Dr. Grant Scott is the founder/curator of United Nations of Photography, a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, a working photographer, documentary filmmaker, BBC Radio contributor and the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Routledge 2014), The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Routledge 2015), New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography (Routledge 2019). His film Do Not Bend: The Photographic Life of Bill Jay was first screened in 2018 www.donotbendfilm.com. He is the presenter of the A Photographic Life and In Search of Bill Jay podcasts. © Grant Scott 2023

Today's guest is Ariana Makau of Nzilani Glass. She is the 2nd person in the world – and the first woman – to receive a Master's Degree in Stained Glass Conservation from the Royal College of Art in London. Equally comfortable on a job site, at a board meeting or in a museum, Makau has over 25 years of experience with art and architectural preservation. She is a Board Member and Health and Safety Chair of the SGAA and is a Fellow of AIC. Before Nzilani, she worked at the J. Paul Getty Museum in LA, London's V&A Museum, and the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art. Approachable and non-judgmental, Ariana enjoys sharing her professional experience in classroom and public talks. I could have spoken to Ariana for 2 more hrs and still only scratched the surface of her extensive experience and knowledge of glass conservation and preservation. Asbestos testing /Respirator fit tests-Ariana recommends you do a local search with the key words "asbestos material testing company" and "respirator fit tests". In some cases, people might be able to get the latter sourced through a museum. Local paint companies sometimes teach one day lead certification classes as well."Nzilani is hoping to roll out hosting contracted respirator fit and BLL testing next year as a service to local artists. I encourage individual artists to network and do the same in their areas. Joining together can reduce costs, build community and empower folks to be accountable to their own health and well-being."-Ariana Makaucascademetals.com Ted Sawyer- Bullseye lead scientistbullseyeprojects.comTyvek Suitpksafety.comHope Crewsavingplaces.org/hope-crewConservation Schools:Buffalo State University Art Conservation DepartmentWinterthur UD Program in Art ConservationNYU ConservationUCLA/Getty Interdepartmental Program James Turrelljamesturrell.comLiza Enebeis @bookslovelizaEmily AtefwikipediaCyril Atef@cyrilatefOctavia E.

Episode No. 579 features artist Uta Barth. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is presenting "Uta Barth: Peripheral Vision," a retrospective of Barth's work. For over forty years Barth has made work about the act of looking, perception, movement and the passage of time. The exhibition debuts Barth's newest work: a project commissioned in celebration of the Getty Center's twentieth anniversary. The exhibition was curated by Arpad Kovacs, and is on view through February 19, 2023. A catalogue is forthcoming in 2023. A previous mid-career survey, "Uta Barth: I Between Places" was organized by the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington in 2000. Barth's work is in nearly every major museum collection in North America.

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is returning ancient sculptures and other works of art that were illegally exported from Italy, the museum announced. The Getty will return a nearly life-size group of Greek terra-cotta sculptures known as “Orpheus and the Sirens," believed to date from the fourth century B.C., according to the museum. The sculpture group was purchased by J. Paul Getty in 1976 shortly before his death and had been on display for decades. However, the museum now believes they were illegally excavated and taken out of Italy, based on evidence uncovered by the Manhattan district attorney's office, the Getty said in a statement. “It's just extremely rare and there's nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts told the Los Angeles Times. “It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy.” The fragile sculptures will be sent to Rome in September to join collections designated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Getty said. The museum also is working with the Ministry of Culture to arrange the return of four other objects at a future date. Those include a “colossal marble head of a divinity" and a stone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with an Etruscan bronze incense burner from the fourth century B.C. and a 19th-century painting by Camillo Miola entitled “Oracle at Delphi," the Getty said.

For the eleventh episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Emily A. Beeny, curator at The Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco and co-author with Francesca Whitlum-Cooper of the book, “Poussin and the Dance,” published in 2021 by the J. Paul Getty Museum.In this episode, we take an in-depth look at Nicolas Poussin in 17th century Rome — a city rich with classical sculpture from antiquity and Renaissance paintings that led the artist to formulate an entirely new style of painting. This style would make Poussin the model for three centuries of artists in the French classical tradition, from Jacques-Louis David and Edgar Degas to Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso. Long considered one of the most influential French painters of the 17th century, the French Neoclassicist Poussin is seen in a wholly new light.Co-author Emily A. Beeny talks with me about how Poussin's paintings from the 1620s and 1630s of gods and goddesses, biblical and historical figures, are choreographed across his canvases like dancers on a stage. Tracing the motif of dance throughout this period, the book examines how Poussin devised new methods of composition and depicting motion. We explore Poussin's artistic process and influences, notably his use of wax figurines to choreograph the compositions he drew and painted. “Poussin and the Dance” is the first exhibition and first published study devoted to Poussin's dancing pictures. The book, by Beeny and Whitlum-Cooper, was produced in tandem with the exhibition at the National Gallery in London (October 2021 - January 2022) and at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (February - May 2022)."Reading the Art World" is a live interview and podcast series with leading art world authors hosted by art advisor Megan Fox Kelly. The conversations explore timely subjects in the world of art, design, architecture, artists and the art market, and are an opportunity to engage further with the minds behind these insightful new publications.Megan Fox Kelly is an art advisor and President of the Association of Professional Art Advisors who works with collectors, estates and foundations.

Episode No. 498 features artist Ken Gonzales-Day and curator Rachel Adams. Gonzales-Day is among the artists included in "Photo Flux: Unshuttering LA" at the J. Paul Getty Museum. The exhibition opens when Getty Center re-opens on May 25, and will be on view through October 10. "Photo Flux" features pictures by 35 Los Angeles-based artists who challenge ideals related to beauty, representation, cultural capital and objectivity. It was curated by jill moniz. Gonzales-Day's work considers the historical construction of race and the limits of representational systems, such as photographs of lynchings and museum displays. His book "Lynching in the West: 1850-1935" expanded our understanding of racialized violence in the United States through the discovery of photographs of lynchings of Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and African-Americans in California. His work has been the subject of solo or two-person exhibitions at museums such as the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. On the second segment, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts chief curator and director of programs Rachel Adams previews "Celebrating Tony Conrad," a two-day online streaming festival honoring and highlighting Conrad's collaborations with musicians and performers from around the world. The event streams from the Bemis YouTube page on May 27 and 28 at 5 pm ET. Conrad was a pioneering experimental media artist whose work, beginning in the early 1960s, helped initiate ways in which artists have explored audio and video.

Isabella d'Este knew a thing or two about bad luck.

A meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai in Lyncroft Centre, Toronto, on January 3, 2021. For the Church which believes and prays, the Wise Men from the East who, guided by the star, made their way to the manger of Bethlehem, are only the beginning of a great procession which winds throughout history. Readings of today's Mass are from Book of Isaiah 60, 1-6 and Psalm 71 (72) Isaiah 60, 6: "…camels in throngs will cover you, and dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; everyone in Sheba will come, bringing gold and incense and singing the praise of the Lord." Pope Benedict XVI says that all kinds of factors could have combined to generate the idea that the language of the star contained a message of hope. But none of this would have prompted people to set off on a journey, unless they were people of inner unrest, people of hope, people on the lookout for the true star of salvation. The men of whom Matthew speaks were not just astronomers. There were “wise.” They represent the inner dynamic of religion toward self-transcendence, which involves a search for truth, a search for the true God and hence “philosophy” in the original sense of the word.” Restless? Meaning anxious to tap into something great and beautiful, outside ourselves, beyond ourselves, beyond what we can even imagine.

We voyage across the Pacific to Sydney, to speak with Dr. Michael Brand, director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. We explore his outspoken commitment to indigenous art and artists, the massive and environmentally sensitive expansion of his museum well underway, his views on public support of the arts in both Australia and the U.S., and the challenges of restitution of art with disputed title—from his days as director of the J. Paul Getty Museum to today. He shares his experience in curating a major exhibition of contemporary art that was installed during the pandemic, intended to demystify the field and the process of collecting major works beginning in the late 1960s. We get a little insight into Sydney's place in the cultural firmament, as distinct from Canberra and Melbourne, and follow his thinking about larger responsibilities facing the directors of the world's leading museums.
The J. Paul Getty Museum, the world's wealthiest, was shaped under the steady hand of Dr. John Walsh, a renowned scholar of Dutch art. In this episode we glean a bit about his work as a curator and director, and dive into topical matters: Museums during the pandemic, commercialization of exhibitions, his role as a witness defending Cincinnati's Contemporary Arts Center's exhibition of photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe and its then director at a trial accusing them of promoting obscenity, decades-long neglect of advancing racial equity in museums, due diligence when researching antiquities collections, advice for new directors, and a brief preview of his forthcoming lectures on Rembrandt.

After more than a decade of inquiry, the artist David Maisel was granted access to photograph the terrain and testing facilities of Dugway Proving Ground, a classified military site covering nearly 800,000 acres in a remote region of Utah's Great Salt Lake Desert. This is a site where chemical and biological weaponry and defense programs were developed, tested and implemented by the U.S. government. Maisel began by photographing at ground level before moving to an overhead and aerial perspective. The result is a remarkable series of photographs that addresses questions of power, secrecy and land use, all collected in a single volume and freighted with an abiding skepticism toward technology and human endeavor. Please join The Commonwealth Club and Maisel in conversation to discuss his work, the site and the larger issues of power and surveillance that his book, Proving Ground, brings to the fore at a very acute time in American democracy. David Maisel was named a Guggenheim Fellow in 2018 for the work he did on Proving Ground. His photographs are included in more than 40 public collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Maisel is represented by Haines Gallery (San Francisco) and Houk Gallery (New York). He lives in Mill Valley, California. ** This Podcast May Contain Explicit Language ** Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As the old year dies, our thoughts turn to what happens next. What better time, then, to cast a seasonally morbid, deeply philosophical, and curiously uplifting pod about what happens in the Ancient Greek afterlife? The Getty Villa's new exhibition, Underworld: Imagining the Afterlife is all about this and Dominic Green talks to David Saunders, Associate Curator of the J. Paul Getty Museum in California.
During her 34-year reign, Catherine the Great embarked on a single-minded quest to modernize and westernize Russia. Among her tactics was a ravenous acquisition of art, which she used to strengthen her image and that of her empire. A self-proclaimed “glutton for art,” the wily tsarina created St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum and spearheaded the expansion of the former capital into an architectural wonder. Join author Susan Jaques as she discusses highlights of Catherine II's extraordinary cultural campaign. Following the talk, Susan will be signing copies of her new biography, The Empress of Art: Catherine the Great and the Transformation of Russia (April 2016, Pegasus Books). Susan Jaques is a journalist specializing in art. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Stanford University and an MBA from UCLA.
