• Use the Best Field Tripods for Video Cameras for Your Next Moving Image Work

  07-04-2021 23:30 via artnews.com
  
  Whether or not you struggle to shoot video while holding a camera, mounting your camera on a tripod will vastly improve your shots. One can be particularly handy in low-light settings, time-lapses, and incredibly long shoots. A tripod can also help you position your camera at angles that would otherwise be awkward for a cameraperson. Tripods for moving images are quite different from those for still cameras, incorporating a fluid-filled head to make panning smoother. While lightweight field trip

• Los Angeles Partners with Getty to Preserve City’s Historic African American Sites

  07-04-2021 23:10 via artnews.com
  
  As cities across the country reckon with the ways in which the contributions of Black people have long been under-recognized, the Getty will partner with the city of Los Angeles to identify and preserve places that illustrate how African Americans have been integral to L.A.’s history. Of the city’s 1,200 designated local landmarks, only 3 percent (about 36 places) can be linked to African Americans and their contributions to the city, according to a press release from the Getty.

  07-04-2021 22:00 via artnews.com
  
  If you paint en plein air, a portable easel is essential. Finding a reliable one can be tricky, as a winning model should have enough weight to provide stability as you work but also be light enough to carry out to the field. A portable easel is also ideal for painters who want to bring their own to classes or transport it to and from their studio. Save some cash and purchase a bundled easel set that comes with its own carry case—or at least, a strap and a handle. After all, finding a bag

  In 1863, as the Civil War was being fought on battlefields across the country, with a nation at war over the its future and the fate of chattel slavery, two free Black men planned an art exhibition that would travel the north, en route to the nation’s capital. Featuring pieces from their own carefully curated collections of art, William Henry Dorsey and Edward M.

  A good easel can really optimize your painting conditions. You’ll ensure that your canvas rests comfortably as you paint and stays in place throughout the process. You’ll also be able to adjust the easel to suit your painting position, which can help reduce tension and fatigue.

• Synthetic Surrealism

  07-04-2021 19:54 via artnews.com
  
  In 1949, seven years after fleeing a warring Europe for Mexico City, the artist and writer Leonora Carrington (1917–2011) read a very curious book. Robert Graves’s White Goddess: A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth, published a year earlier, was a mythographic account of the ways in which paganism underlies Christian belief. It posited the existence of a moon-affiliated “White Goddess of Birth, Love and Death,” whom patriarchal structures obscure. According to Graves, one

  As artist Leonora Carrington told it, shortly after she became friends with members of the Surrealist movement, Joan Miró once handed her a few coins and told her to go buy him a pack of cigarettes. “I gave it back and said if he wanted cigarettes, he could bloody well get them himself,” she told the Guardian in 2007. “I wasn’t daunted by any of them.”
  Carrington had more metaphysical matters to pursue. She sought to capture fleeting scenes of the subconsciou

And there is more than a shade of defensiveness in his account of how he came to write Fierce Poise. He never met Frankenthaler, he admits, although he easily could have. His father, the poet Howard Nemerov, was Frankenthaler’s English teacher at Bennington. Clement Greenberg (Frankenthaler’s firs
