Americans in Paris
National Gallery, London

Paris was the centre of the art world in the 19th century, and a magnet for American art students and artists, eager to experience the cosmopolitan delights of the city and to steep themselves in its artistic atmosphere.

The 2005 Lyon Biennial is an exhibition that takes into consideration the stages of its conception and proposes complementary themes interlinked by the concept of tem-porality, which has provided our common thread... Nicolas Bourriaud & Jérôme Sans, Guest Curators

"Temporality through time"

Temporality has long been at the heart of the Western work of art. Its first appearance can be traced back to Assisi in the thirteenth century and the Saint Francis cycle: like the discoverer of a buried treasure, Giotto delved into the episodes of a legend, fixing their order and succession and thus giving visible form to the expectation underlying the history of Christianity until the 16th century: that time would end...

Bill Brandt - A Retrospective in Wales

 The Aberystwyth Arts Centre presents Bill Brandt - A Retrospective.
British photographer Bill Brandt is an acknowledged master of the twentieth century. Brandt’s early work documents with great sensitivity the contrasts of pre-World War II life in Britain, from farmers and miners to landlords and industrial barons. Later he shifted to a surreal experimentation which connects him with British artists such as Henry Moore and Francis Bacon.
His vision, unconfined by easy categories, ranged widely from direct photojournalism to atmospheric landscapes; from stark, revealing portraiture to high-contrast nudes.
Even though much of Brandt’s work was driven by specific historic periods , his continual search for ways to expand the medium makes his work fresh and timeless, and his influence on photography is still strong today.

Oteiza: Myth and Modernism at Guggenheim Museum

 Oteiza: Myth and Modernism, the most extensive retrospective to be mounted in the U.S. devoted to the work of Basque artist Jorge Oteiza opened at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Jorge Oteiza, one of the leading Basque artists of the 20th century, produced a diverse body of primarily abstract art rooted in a dialogue between the old and the new—represented in his work through an engagement with the art and religion of primitive cultures in the Basque Country and South America, and the clear influence of both historic avant-garde movements such as Cubism, Neo-Plasticism, Suprematism, and Constructivism.
The exhibition will include 125 works of sculpture, drawings, and collage created during the 1950s.

Poussin to Cézanne: French Drawings from the Prat Collection

 The exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a selection of major works that make up the presentation of the genius of French drawing over three centuries.
Selected by Dr. Pierre Rosenberg, the one hundred drawings reflect the panorama of French draftsmanship beginning with the late mannerist style of Jacques Callot, extending through the work of eighteenth century masters Watteau, Boucher, and Fragonard, and early nineteenth century figures as Ingres and Delacroix, concluding with the Impressionism as seen in works on paper by Manet, Degas, and Cézanne. Landscapes, portraits, red chalk and graphite pencil, meticulously finished drawings and brilliant sketches are included.
