The Met Breuer Falls Flat

3/7/2016

The Met Breuer is one of the best art spaces in Manhattan. So it is only natural that everyone was holding their breathe to see what the Met would put in it after signing an eight year-contract. Well, it's finally clear. The first exhibitions have opened. The Met Breuer has opened with two "ho-hum" exhibits, and I have to ask, "What is it all about?" Can't the Met do better than that?

One part of the exhibition contains the work of contemporary India Artist Nasreen Mohamedi (now passed away). Well fine. Perhaps that is warranted. But then rooms and rooms devoted to unfinished works of "the greats" of Western Art. Is that what we were waiting for? Is this really needed by the public? And is this the best the Met can do?
So much artwork needs to be displayed--both from the United States and abroad. Artists, sculptors, living and dead. The public needs to see these artists work. The Met has the expertise. But somehow, it can't see, "Outside the Box," as that headline writer for Roberta Smith's review in the NY Times Sunday Arts Section suggested. That headline was "Thinking Inside the Box," and that is just what the Met has done. So now we are still left with the question of, what will be the role of these wonderful space? The Met has not answered that question with these two ill matched exhibitions. Please do better next time, Met.

 "Flower" Exhibition Blooms at Norton Sculpture Garden

3/4/2016

The art in the "Flowers" exhibition at the Ann Norton Sculpture     Garden's Exhibition displays a wide range of imagination in paintings, sculpture, and photography. As you pull up to the Norton home, you'll see a giant sized tulip, balanced on a thin stem, that is the work of Robert St. Croix (West Palm Beach).

Called "Grande Prima Flora," that amazing tulip welcomes you to the exhibition. Inside, you'll find smaller sculpture, photography and also varied paintings. The acrylic portrait of Churchill, "Brush with History," by Edwina Sandys (New York and Palm Beach) is one of the most engaging.

Sandys (New York and West Palm Beach) is a granddaughter of Churchill. She also has several sculptural pieces in the exhibition including "Flower Women Trio," a metal trio over six feet high behind the main house near the reflecting pool.

Back inside the house, photo-realist Ben Schoenzeit has three artworks. The large canvas against the far wall is the most stunning. It consists of a horizontal row of roses against a gray and black striped background--exuding both beauty and romance. Make sure you don't miss this exhibition which only runs until Sunday March 6. For the more detailed review I wrote, use the search feature in the online version of Florida Weekly; a link may be found below. (Palm Beach Garden Edition, Feb. 25, 2016)

    Dear  Culture Lover: 
        Art  and music nourish our souls and imagination. So it is fortunate for those living on the Gold Coast of Florida that we have so much music and art around us--all year long.

          But sometimes the problem is just finding out where it is. Where can you find "the best" of these genres?  If that's what you are thinking, you've come to the right place. I cover local and global art, classical music, and traditional jazz. Come here to read my reviews and recommendations. 

               
    Sincerely,
    April

    NOTE: April has a talent for life drawing and sketching; she is the daughter of two professional artists, and has been  writing about art since she  reviewed modern Chinese art when living in Taiwan.
