As usual, I've been absent. Working on paintings, a web site, an upcoming exhibit and a possible move have all kept my life quite hectic. But I'm still reading about art and checking it out too. Hope you are doing the same. To that end, I've created this new folder for those who want to make announcements, of their own shows and other shows of interest, plus art events or happenings.
Gina, this one is for you:
George Caleb Bingham (1811–1879), "The Jolly Flatboatmen," 1877–78. Oil on canvas, 66,2 x 92,4 cm.*

World Class. The Düsseldorf School of Painting 1819–1918
Stiftung Museum Kunstpalast Ehrenhof 4-5 40479 Düsseldorf/Germany T 0049/211/8990200 F 0049/211/8929307 info@smkp.de www.smkp.de Share this announcement on: Facebook | Delicious | Twitter
10 September 2011–15 January 2012 SAMURAI, STARS OF THE STAGE AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Japanese colour woodblock prints by Kunisada and Kuniyoshi
The exhibition is organised under the patronage of the Japanese Consulate General in Düsseldorf.
The exhibition presents a selection of some 80 prints of the artists who competed with each other for the favour of the public during their lifetimes. The Collection consists in a large donation of Japanese colour woodblock prints (ukiyo-e), especially 220 works by Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865) and Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861) alone.
Kuniyoshi's ink and brush drawings, which are similarly part of the prints and drawings collection, will now be shown to a broader public for the first time. The subject repertoire of the exhibited works includes pictures of beautiful women, famous actors from the traditional Kabuki Theatre, theatre scenes and portrayals of heroes by the two colour woodblock print masters who were both very popular in the 19th century. A few of Kuniyoshi's beloved whimsical and feline pictures will also be shown.
If you make it there, let us know!
Feel free to post everyone. And if you see a show that makes your eyes pop, let us know your thoughts!
