Artist: Robert Henry
On The Porch
By Robert Henry
Located in Fairfield, CT
Represented by George Billis Gallery, NY & LA -- As April Kingsley said in The Village Voice, "Henry-watching is always a fascinating activity." And Henry himself has said, while acknowledging that he knows a consistent, signature style is good for the business of art, "I hate to repeat myself." Thus, every season brings a new Henry adventure. Henry's continuity is not of form or format, "but of the feelings generated by the rotating paintings, the will to imbalance, the 'hypnogeic' state, the feeling of a shifting world, the loss of firm footing, as well as the joy of change itself." Within each series, details alter slightly from scene to scene, suggesting a linked narrative, time passing. He moves from one medium to another, one idea to another. Previous allegorical series have explored privacy and public place, belonging, the relationship between artist and audience, the contradictions and confusions of modern, urban life, feeling in response to that experience. Several of the new paintings are a variation on games, especially playing with danger, as metaphor for life experience. In last year's wonderful "Snap the Whip...

La salle de répétition de l'opéra de Paris, 1968, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem
By Jean Jansem
Located in Carouge GE, GE
Jean Jansem (1920-2013) La salle de répétition de l’Opéra de Paris, 1968 Huile sur toile Signée en bas à gauche 130 x 195 cm Provenance: Wally Findlay Galleries, New York Bibliographie: Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem Historique: 1964: c’est l’inauguration du nouveau plafond du Palais Garnier par Marc Chagall commandé par André Malraux alors ministre chargé des affaires culturelles. Commande qui fera couler beaucoup d’encre entre les partisans du modernisme et les tenants du conservatisme. Malraux tiendra bon, si ce n’est une légère concession: pour éviter de détruire l'ancien plafond et son décor, il sera masqué par une toile amovible de quelques 240m2 réalisée par Chagall dans les ateliers des Gobelins puis tendue par-dessus. Cette commande, autant acte politique que intellectuel, intervient à une époque où Malraux, convaincu que l’art contribue au rayonnement international de la France, soutiendra notamment les commandes du Mobilier national dont Pierre Paulin sera l’une des grandes figures, et où la CGT (Compagnie générale transatlantique) lancera un de ses plus gros chantiers avec le mythique paquebot France...
