¶ … Art in Fresno
For my observation, I decided to visit the Fall Community ArtReach exhibit at the UC Center in Fresno. This exhibit featured new mixed-media paintings by Fresno artists Shannon Bickford, as well as others. ArtReach started on September 5 and continues on through November 7. I attended ArtReach on September 27, 2002 at 5:30, which is the starting time, and stayed there from 8 pm, which is when the exhibit is closed every night. The event is free, which is one of the reasons it was so great to attend, and artists were present during the session, which helped get me some feedback on their work. There was a wide variety of artists and works there, which I found very educational -- the current exhibition comprises oil, watercolor and mixed-media paintings, photography and metal sculpture. It was a wonderful mixture of various notions about art, and the fact that the artists were present and I was able to meet a few of them made the experience extremely enjoyable.
This latest ArtReach exhibit features a new collection of contemporary mixed-media paintings by Fresno artist Shannon Bickford. Bickford's paintings combine elements from science and nature with dream-like images of flowers, birds, cats and people. Recently her work has been exhibited at the Fresno Art Museum.
Most of the paintings I examined for this assignment belonged to Shannon Bickford. I felt her most intriguing painting was "The Conversation," which is a picture of bright orange flowers with brown leaves. The picture is very bright, and I find it interesting that she calls this work "The Conversation" because it appears...

The idea for a large museum located in the city of New York was first formulated in 1866 when the statesman John Jay resolved to create a place to house America's great art collections in a central urban area.

Cultural Event The Dallas Museum of Art has several temporary exhibitions on display now. One is called "Youth and Beauty: Art of the American Twenties." Another related but separate exhibition is called "Texas in the Twenties: Prints, Drawings, and Photographs from Lone Star Collections." Because both special exhibitions focus on a specific point in time in American and Texan history, it was helpful to view both together on the same day.
Cultural Event Report: Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of Art at Fort Lauderdale. Surprisingly, I had never been to the museum before. It sits adjacent to Nova University, in a very beautiful and modern section of the city. The very moment I walked up to the doors, I was excited. The museum is a very interesting exterior composition, with the bright coat
" "Electric Chair" is squarely of the present, in harsh, artificial pinks and yellows. It is pure pop art, without sympathy for the victim or for any ideology that condemns capital punishment. Not only is there no hope, as voiced in "Saint Perpetuum," there is also no regret, any emotion, and only silkscreened blankness. If Warhol's work is political, it is not political in a way that opposes capital punishment. Rather
Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. is a place that is both dark and light, from the perspective of a visitor and the emotions that one feels on being in a place like this.
