Meyer Schapiro Abroad: Letters to Lillian and Travel Notebooks
Meyer Schapiro’s 1952 Cezanne book dwelled on the psychological component of his artwork.
Quote:
Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing pleasure, I’ve found the dance in which our favorite New School sculpture is used. It is a dance in performed in three movements, score composed by Aaron Copland. It premiered in 1944.
While this included in the Card Player's exhibit, it stood out different for me.
As opposed to the Card Players, this painting stood out to me because, while it still has stillness, I still feel emotionally connected to him. Contrary to the gravitas of the card players, I think because the peasant has actual eyes instead of shadows I am intrigued as to what he is thinking. I still don’t think is a direct narrative. but the contrast between the use of color in his face and the coolness of his clothing and background makes him feel more alive to me. Also, is he stern? Sad? Pensive? Heart broken lover? or concerned father? I could easily believe any of them. Anyone else?

The admission desks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are intimidating. They make it seem like you must pay a high admission. As a student of art in the city, I urge you to pay only one dollar — or less. I usually do this. There is no shame. It means that you’re not a tourist. You are using the museum as a New Yorker and as an educational resource. I feel that all New York museums should be free. For all the money that is spent on new acquisitions and new buildings, why not put the money toward admissions? And why not pay the workers better?
Questions:
Should museums be free? Why? Why not?
How much did you pay?

For those of you who were interested in the TIna Barney “Sunday New York Times” photo at the MoMA photography show. Or for those of you who were engaged in our discussion about her work last Friday, you may want to go to this event. It requires an advance RSVP, but I believe it is free.

In “The Players”, Tina Barney expands her subject matter to include fashion, performers, and actors, as well as her own circle of friends. In her two previous books, Barney chose to look at families in America and their milieu and then carried on this examination of families in Europe. Now she combines commercial assignments dating back as far as 1988, with …editorial, fashion, and portraiture. Whether performing publicly or privately, they are all “players”. “The Players” is edited and designed by Chipp Kidd with text by Michael Stipe, and published by Steidl. Michèle Gerber Klein is a trustee of BOMB Magazine, the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Museum, and the Alliance Francaise. She writes frequently about art and fashion and is currently researching a book project on the last tapes of legendary designer Charles James.
