🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #ExhibitClosing "Posing Modernity: The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today" closes at the @wallachartgallery tomorrow, February 10th. . . . "In a sweeping re-examination of the history of modern art, Posing Modernity proposes that the changing representation of the black female figure has been central to the development of modernism from Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863) to the present... This exhibition explores the changing modes of representation of the black figure as central to the development of modern art. The #models' interactions with and influences on #painters, #sculptors and photographers are highlighted through archival #photographs, correspondence and #films. The artists featured in the exhibition depicted black subjects in a manner counter to typical representations of the period. The works included highlight the little-known, multiracial aspect of each artist’s milieu." The #curator of the exhibition in New York is Denise Murrell, Ph.D., Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Research Scholar, Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University. . . .

Henri Matisse - Danseuse Creole (Creole Dancer), 1951. Henri Matisse was a leading figure of Fauvism and, along with Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the modern era. In his paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, Matisse experimented with vivid colors, Pointillist techniques, and reduced, flat shapes. “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter,”; his subjects of choice included nudes, dancers, still lifes, and interior scenes. . . . #henrimatisse #matisse #fauvism #pointillist #modernart #posingmodernity #wallachartgallery #columbiaalumni #columbiaalumniassociation #columbiaartsaccess #nycmanofmanytalents #localtourist #nyc #nyc🗽 #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #morningsideheights #harlem #newyorker #newyorkcity #newyorkny #newyorkinstagram #newyorkstateofmind #citywhereilive #touristinmycity #citywhereilivein #thecitywhereilive #newyorkcitylife #newyorkcitypics #newyorkcityphotos (at Wallach Art Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/nycmanofmanytalents/p/BthwxPlHaJC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xaqw2d13d5n3

Among the pleasures of the #PosingModernity exhibit at @wallachartgallery w/ @kylegallup2 last weekend was discovering talented #circus trapeze artist Miss LaLa, who Degas painted. She held the chain of a booming cannon in her sturdy teeth. #Columbia #Harlem #inthenabe https://www.instagram.com/p/BsCFwl6HN6w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n31jouiva6g8
