AMSTERDAM.- Three faces stare blankly from sepia-toned passport photos, haphazardly pasted onto a card to an unknown recipient. They are probably two parents and their son, but well never know for sure. Under their pictures are the handwritten words: Dont forget us! Its unclear when this card was sent. But its plea has helped shape the permanent collection at the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, which opens to the public next week. The new institution has been in the works for almost 20 years, during which time the project overcame persistent skepticism partly driven by hesitance at facing this part of Dutch history. I think its a remnant of a long-felt discomfort in the Netherlands with taking ownership of what happened, said Emile Schrijver, the general director of the National Holocaust Museum. While other museums in the Netherlands cover aspects of the history of the Holocaust such as the Anne Frank House, or museums that focus on W ... More |

'Domestic Memory: Manny Farber and Patricia Patterson' opened last week at Quint Gallery in La Jolla
SAN DIEGO, CA.- Quint Gallery recently opened Domestic Memory, a two-person exhibition featuring Manny Farber (b. 1917; d. 2008) and Patricia Patterson (b. 1941). Life-long partners and collaborators, the pair are known, both together and in their own right, as painters and critics who became instrumental figures in the San Diego art and academic community since their arrival from New York in 1970. Farber, an established film critic and painter, was invited to teach at the University of California, San Diego in their newly formed Visual Arts department. Patterson was soon asked to teach drawing, and later, graduate seminars on art and politics in utopian communities, the Shakers, de Stijl, and the Russian Constructivists. This presentation highlights a small selection of Farber and Pattersons work made between the late 1980s and early 1990s, ... More
Title of exhibition by Merike Estna drawn from 20th-century French novelist René Daumal's 'Mount Analogue'
NEW YORK, NY.- Margot Samel presents Analog Mountain, by Merike Estna. This is the Estonian-born, Mexico City-based artists first solo exhibition with the gallery.

The title of the exhibition is drawn from 20th-century French novelist René Daumals Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing. The allegorical story, unfinished in the writers lifetime, follows a group of mountaineers as they work to climb Mount Analogue, an enormous mountain on a surreal continent, invisible and inaccessible to the outside world, and only perceived by applications of obscure knowledge. A mountainous and cavernous ... More
Recent work by French artist Stéphane Villafane, on view during the month of March
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery is opening On the Road, an exhibition of recent work by French artist Stéphane Villafane, on view during the month of March. Villafane transforms his canvases into contemplative journeys through space and time, stepping beyond the bounds of narrative subject matter. His passage through a particular landscape sets his painting process in motion: Before starting to paint in my studio, I need to go for a walk or take to the road, which acts as a doorway to my creative process. Travel journals filled with notes and drawings chronicle his felt experiences, while photographs act as references for qualities of light and color. These tools, however, are merely distant precursors to his final compositions, which require the alchemy of detachment and rumination. ... More
Coral Woodbury's 'Revised Edition' draws women back into the history of art

Figurative painter recognized for her melancholic, big-eared, and doe-eyed figures, Jess Valice, at Almine Rech
NEW YORK, NY.- Almine Rech New York, Upper East Side is presenting Mara, Jess Valice's first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from today to April 20, 2024. On the face of things, stoicism can look a lot like exhaustion. In fact, fatigue, with all its causes and variations, may be our modern-day version of stoicism. Or so we may surmise from spending time with Jess Valices portraits: the straight-ahead stare of large hooded eyes, the small tightly-closed mouths, and the massive yet contorted solidity of her figures convey both determination and resignation, poise and detachment. These figures remain resolutely silent in the face of any pain we may imagine them sufferingand we know, everybody hurts. Over ... More

Flashback On a day like today, Dutch-American painter Piet Mondrian was born March 07, 1872. Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1906 Mondrian (7 March 1872 - 1 February 1944), was a Dutch painter and theoretician who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is known for being one of the pioneers of 20th century abstract art, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style, until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements.
