FINEST PAINTINGS BY IMPRESSIONIST GUSTAVE CAILLEBOTTE AT THE KIMBELL ART MUSEUM THIS FALL

Gustave Caillebotte: The Painter’s Eye November 8, 2015–February 14, 2016 On view in the Renzo Piano Pavilion

Fort Worth’s Kimbell Museum does it again, with a jaw dropping retrospective of a hugely important, and surprisingly unknown Impressionist. Gustave Caillebotte is, hands down, my favorite artist. His career began with failure – rejection by the Salon in 1875, when he submitted the above painting The Floor Scrapers to the French Government’s annual elite art exhibition. The painting was considered vulgar (as IF-) and the perspective unsettling (again, seriously?!).  [Read more…] about Finest Paintings By Impressionist Gustave Caillebotte At The Kimbell Art Museum

Picasso Sculpture
September 14, 2015–February 07, 2016

The Museum of Modern Art’s fall exhibit of 150 Picasso sculptures is one worth seeing; for all of his fame, the sculpture is a relatively unknown part of his entire collection. That he was a self-taught sculptor becomes apparent as you see these very personal works crafted with a sense of improvisation and ingenuity. MoMA is the sole venue so don’t miss this opportunity.
Picasso Sculpture is a sweeping survey of Pablo Picasso’s profoundly innovative and influential work in three dimensions. The largest museum exhibition of Picasso’s sculptures to take place in the United States in nearly half a century, the exhibition brings together around 150 sculptures from Picasso’s entire career via loans from major public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad, with the largest selection of works coming from the Musée national Picasso–Paris. With many works on view for the first time in the U.S., the exhibition provides an opportunity to explore a rarely seen aspect of Picasso’s large and prolific career.  [Read more…] about Picasso Sculpture Exhibit at MOMA

John Singer Sargent’s Portraits of Friends

Self-Portrait-Sargent, Sargent: Artists and Friends- at The Met, on www.CourtneyPrice.com

John Singer Sargent- Self portrait, 1906

Exhibition at Metropolitan Museum to Focus on John Singer Sargent’s Portraits of Friends

Exhibition Dates: June 30–October 4, 2015

Throughout his career, the celebrated American painter John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) created portraits of artists, writers, actors, and musicians, many of whom were his close friends. Because these works were rarely commissioned, he was free to create images that were more radical than those he made for paying clients. He often posed these sitters informally—in the act of painting, singing, or performing, for example. Together, the portraits constitute a group of experimental paintings and drawings—some of them highly charged, others sensual, and some of them intimate, witty, or idiosyncratic. Opening at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on June 30, the exhibition Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends will bring together about 90 of these distinctive portraits, including numerous loans from private collections. It will also explore in depth the friendships between Sargent and those who posed for him as well as the significance of these relationships to his life and art.
