Matisse’s cutouts are in many ways the epitome of what cultural critics term “late style” — a new creative idiom that some artists and writers acquire in their old age, as Edward Said once defined it. For Matisse, the childlike exuberance of cutouts represented a continuation of his fascination with boldly juxtaposed colors married with a pared-down, almost primitive simplicity.It can be difficult to grasp the scale of the collages from photographs alone. Some are huge.“They are more like installations or environments than paintings,” Tate curator Nicholas Cullinan told PBS. “They were a way of collapsing line and color; at the same time they were a kind of sculpture — carving into pure color.” “L'Escargot”, cut paper collage and gauche paint. #aviaraparkhyatt #fourseasons #artgroupprojects #matisse #carlsbad #encinitas #lagunabeach #solanabeach #rsf #beverlyhills #losangeles #sandiego #orangecounty

"It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression." -Henri Matisse #tbt #henrimatisse #matisse #cutouts #MoMA #museumofmodernart #tatemodern #lacma

Few #artists have explored a single medium, and an unusual one at that, as tenaciously and consistently as #DanFlavin with his signature #fluorescentlight tubes.

Dan Flavin is best known for creating art almost entirely of commercially-available fluorescent light tubes. Although he used common materials, Flavin’s art is complex in design and often relates to specific architectural contexts. #DanFlavin; untitled (for Charlotte and Jim Brooks) 3, 1964. #lacma #moma #broadmuseum #artgroupprojects #broadcontemporary #davidzwirner (at New York, New York)

Happy Birthday Van Gough .When an #artist like van Gogh is planning on making a #painting, he will make #preparatory #drawings, or #sketches, to work on elements of the painting. You can see the beginnings of his paintings in his drawings. InThe #Sower, done in 1881, Van Gogh copied a painting by #Millet. Later, in 1888 when #vanGogh painted #Sower with #Setting #Sun, he used a figure in the same pose. Van Gogh places a man in a field throwing seeds to the ground. As the sun sets, the sky is lit with #golden #sunlight and the ground is cast in #flecks of #blue and #purple #shadows. @artgroupprojects #aviara #parkhyatt #fourseasons #carlsbad #encinitas #oc #la #sd #thun #vangoghmuseum (at ART GROUP PROJECTS)

"We eat light, drink it in through our skins. With a little more exposure to light, you feel part of things physically. I like the power of light and space physically because then you can order it materially."

In 1966, Marc and Vava Chagall left Vence to settle in Saint-Paul. They had a big house built on the edge of the village, called La Colline, where Chagall could work - for although the artist was almost 80 his work was very much in demand. Many of the pictures he painted in Saint-Paul are vibrant odes to love: loving couples entwined against calm blue skies, surrounded by birds and bunches of flowers, floating over the village and its ramparts. #marcchagall #chagall #moma #metmuseum #guggenheim #gettymuseum #lacma #louvremuseum #tatemodern (at Saint Paul De Vance)

Hauser Wirth & Schimmel in Downtown LA. They have six other locations, including a large compound in Somerset, England. But it has always been a “California gallery in its spirit,” Wirth told members of the press last Thursday morning, as he stood on a winding staircase a few feet away from a suite of Louise Bourgeois sculptures. He explained that some of the gallery’s first artists—among them Diana Thater and Mike Kelley—were based here, before handing the microphone over to Paul Schimmel, the new gallery’s partner and vice president and the former chief curator at L.A.’s Museum of Contemporary Art. #hauserwirth #hauserwirthschimmel #artgroupprojects #moca (at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel)
