Editor’s Letter As the new year dawns and winter takes hold, our thoughts turn to home

and comfort. It’s a great time to think about doing a little introspection, perhaps a little remodeling and, certainly, all the wonderful things the new year may bring. In this issue we’ve tried to touch on the emotion of art as well as the magic and wonder of this incredible world around us.

Art Château understands that we are in a unique and privileged position to leave a little positive impact on the lives of others, and you will always find a broad array of articles in Art Château Magazine. Just as our web site covers art and lifestyle, our magazine will always surprise you with diversity and imagination.

Our cover story will explore the deep impact of Decorating with Fine Art. We’ve also got the Incredible Driehaus Museum in Chicago, the former mansion of wealthy banker Samuel M. Nickerson, which is a stunning example of the American Guilded Age. Then, Evolution Nouveau; not for the faint of heart.

Join us on a quest for the new Zeitgeist, theory or apostasy? And finally, The Fabulous Life of David Gandy, the first male super model.

The Amazing Driehaus Museum

A

short distance away from Chicago’s famed Magnificent Mile, the Driehaus Museum offers visitors a fascinating vision of one of the few remaining examples of the palatial homes built by the wealthy of America’s Gilded Age. Nicknamed “The Marble Palace,” this monumental edifice was commissioned in 1879 by wealthy Chicago banker Samuel Mayo Nickerson. The home cost $450,000 to build, a staggering amount in that day, and when it was finished, it was the largest private residence in Chicago. The Nickerson’s lived there until 1900 and then it was leased to various tenants for the next 100 years.

In 2003 Richard H. Driehaus acquired the building, established it as a museum, and commissioned the building’s award-winning restoration with a vision to preserve and promote classical style and design. A fine example of Beaux Arts architecture, the grand home interior is a mix of Renaissance Revival and Aesthetic Movement design.

Any historical discussion of great artisans

of the Gilded Age must include the Designer George Schastey and famed Architect William August Fielder, both icons in their field.

Contemporary documentation identifies the overall design of the room as the work of Schastey, while the parquet floor was designed

by Fiedler.

The magnificent Room provides some insight into the collaborative process between the decorators and their responsibilities. One can only imagine the pomp and circumstance between these two giants.

A drawing room was traditionally considered to be a feminine space, thus the decorators favored lighter tones for the woodwork and wall fill. The set of four Empire-style armchairs in the Drawing Room is attributed to George Schastey, and was created specifically for the room.

The piano at the east wall was designed by the firm Chickering & Sons, one of the leading piano manufacturers of 19th century America.

Samuel Nickerson was an avid collector of British, Pre-Raphaelite artists, which are seen throughout his former mansion.

October 2015 Top right: ”Shooting Stars” by Vittorio Caradossi (1861-1918) was one of the leading Italian sculptors at the beginning of the 20th century. He was born in Florence and studied sculpture under Augusto Rivalta at the Accademia di Belle Arti. His genre epitomizes fin-de-siecle Tuscan sculpture.

Right: The Dining Room is without question one of the grandest rooms of the Nickerson mansion. Quarter-sawn white oak was used for the Renaissance Revival interior of the room. The focus of the south wall is an architectural fireplace mantel that extends from floor to ceiling. At the center of the room is the original dining table with silver punch bowl by Tiffany & Co, which was first exhibited at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

Decorating with Fine Art

Although one person’s idea of fine art might not match the opinion of their

friends and neighbors, the fact remain: you, as an individual, can certainly create dramatic focial points by adding a few key paintings throughout your home. I’m always amazed by the minimalist movement and their belief that a bare white wall was astecially pleasing.

Fine art paintings and quality reproductions allow you to add drama and style to any room in your home. Whether it’s an elegant Manhatten town house appointed with Art Deco furniture, or a 17th century Cotswold cottage filled with period antiques, decorating can be a daunting task. So, keep an open mind and let the emotion of the art guide you in this process.

37

A successful decorating campaign is one that ensures you are enveloped with color, objects, and paintings that are meaningful to you.

38

Simply Magnifique. Paul Artot’s Magnum Opus, L’Amour Sauvé Des Eaux (1904), is a brilliant painting that commands attention.

39

Mediterranean Beauty.

John William Godward’s 1915 painting, A Fair Reflection is perhaps the finest from his years in Italy.

40

Many

first time decorators fall into the hodge-podge trap, where you try and do too much on a limited budget. Instead, you are probably better off decorating one room at a time.

Making decerning choices about color and style are always best to do first. Then you can pick paintings and art with similiar colors to compliment the room.

Spend some time going thru decorating magazines that are sure to offer inspiration. Chances are you will see a room similar to your own or perhaps you’ll see the room of your dreams.

Be bold. Sometimes it’s fun to think outside the box. For example: Large art has become very popular in recent years, as well as juxtaposing classical art with modern ambiance. For maximum effect, make sure your room colors compliment the art work and vice versa.

Iconic Imagery

Great example of thinking outside the box. This monochromatic room scheme comes alive with the color image of Marilyn Monroe.

Searching

for the perfect painting adds a personal dimension to the decorating process. Collectors and world travelers have wonderful stories to tell about their particular finds, and a room decorated with reminders of happy adventures will add a special element to your home.

The correct painting can create an amazing focal point around which to decorate an entire room. Example: A beautiful Italian painting can be the catalist for your room, helping to bring related items together for a broader aesthetic appeal.

With a little work you will be able to educate yourself and become familiar with the fine points of interior design. Remember to be bold and buy special paintings that have meaning to you. Pick a color from your painting and then paint the walls that color or, vice versa. Don’t be afraid of large art as it really makes a statement.

And finally, try and light your paintings with a spotlight with a dimmer control. Light your fine art as if it was in a fine gallery.

It makes all the difference in the world.

La Dolce Vita Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Irish Whiskey. Inspired by the original Yellow Spot and last bottled in the 1950s.

This is the second addition to the ‘Spot’ range of Irish whiskies. Mitchell & Son is delighted to announce the re-introduction of Yellow Spot which has been matured in three types of cask: American Bourbon cask, Spanish Malaga casks, and Spanish Sherry butts. These are the ones formerly used for Malaga wine, a sweet wine from Spain from the Pedro Ximenez grape.

The choice of wood partly reflects Mitchell and Sons’ history, as they would have imported fortified wines and then used the casks to mature the whiskey. Irish distillers proudly boast that they are not involved in ‘finishing’ any of their whiskeys, so that means that the Malaga wine component will also have spent at least 12 years in the wood. Yellow Spot is an excellent addition to the ever-growing ranks of Irish single pot still whiskey.

Evolution nouveau Did

you ever have a moment in your life, where something sparked a monumental thought or, perhaps you experienced the proverbial epiphany. Well, one such moment happened to me in late August of 1972. It all began on the midnight train from Amsterdam to Hamburg but, please allow me to digress for just a moment. Three weeks earlier, I had lost a contact lens just after arriving in Rome for what was to be a two month Grand tour of Europe. To say that I was upset with myself, would be a vast understatement. We had been in Hamburg several weeks earlier and while Sandra stayed in Holland to do some shopping, I was returning to pick up a pair of glasses that were finally ready. Sandy was to meet me in 18 hours back at Amsterdam’s Central station, where we would resume our trip and set off towards Paris.

As I sat alone and settled in for a long journey, I began to think about the trip and what was still to come. Sandy and I met six months earlier while on Spring break in Fort Lauderdale and we quickly decided to go to Europe together. We were both 20, and the Old World was blossoming before our eyes. Now in deep reverie, it occurred to me that a young mother and daughter had just entered the shared cabin that seated eight, with a four-seat settee on each side. Now, it was just the three of us. Facing them, I smiled but, it looked as if she had been crying, and I received no response. Before long she became catatonic and assumed an abbreviated fetal position with her head down and both knees up under chin staring out into the darkness. So, when the little girl handed me, what looked to be a dozen or so pages, stapled together, I hesitated thinking that perhaps this is what made her cry. I could see the mother look up for a brief moment with eyes half closed and nodded with approval. As I slowly took the papers, the little girl immediately said, in perfect English, �what does it mean�? Before I could answer the bereaved mother softly called for Marie to sit with her and before long they were fast asleep.

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution

Evolution, as understood by biologists, is the change through time that occurs in populations of organisms in response to changing environments.

The changes, coded in the molecules of DNA, are transmitted from generation to generation and over the history of the Earth have resulted in progressively more complex life forms.

70

As the Hamburg Express chattered through the night, I began to read with great trepidation and soon it became apparent that this was some document or university paper from The Sorbonne in Paris, on the Darwinian theory of evolution. For me, that night, became a pivotal moment in time. I, however, didn’t fully realize the gravity of the moment.

To all Evangelical Christians I say “bravo”. Without your generosity and good

will towards mankind, the world would be dark and hopeless. However, when it comes to transformative thinking within the church, there are old theories that are difficult to overcome.

Irrefutably, there is an undercurrent of change occurring in the society of evolutionary theory. Without question, the evidence for this ancient planet, and a far older universe spanning 4.7 billion years is brilliantly clear, and it’s become increasingly difficult for any thinking Christian to refute the obvious.

The science is there to back it up, just as Galileo proved the Catholic church wrong in 1615, when he said that the Earth revolves around the sun.

This clarity of transformative science in the 21st century continues to guide mankind to evolutionary oil fields on planet earth and manipulating genes in organisms, and we have begun to overcome ancient diseases through DNA research.

However, in this growing space of conscious awareness and scientific understanding, there are still old arguments from Christians that are detrimental and stifle the understanding of evolution. Thus, the hierarchy of the Evangelical church is shunned from the forefront of our society. Their unabated refusal to accept the full scientific framework means that only atheists and nonEvangelicals can lead in this regard, and the Evangelical community cannot be a leader in the 21st century while it denies cosmic evolution.

71

Then, to my atheist brothers and sisters, I suggest that you’re making the same mistake as Evangelicals, in that you’re both agreeing that evolution must be godless.

In fact, there is nothing inherent in the realities of evolution that precludes it from being initiated by a creator or, if you prefer, intelligent design.

The Big Bang theory was first proposed by Fr. Georges Lemaitre (below), a Catholic priest in 1931, at the Catholic University of Louvain. His theory of an ever-expanding universe is elegant to say the least and has the ability to unite Christians and atheists in what some call Divine Evolution.

Without question, there will always be mysteries; however science has proven inception evolution is a beginning where everything has evolved from.

No one can dispute that this event was miraculous and that we continue to evolve as a species. Just as every event in your life changes you to a certain degree, the billions of years of evolution has played out upon our earth, and the cause and effect of evolution are all around us. It is in our very nature to respond to change.

“It’s not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” Charles Darwin, 1809 (below)

Charles Darwin, 1809 - 1882

Georges Lemaître, 1894 - 1966 72

Hours later, with the sun just coming up as we entered Hamburg Hauptbahnhof

Station, Marie leans on the settee beside me and again she asks, “What’s it about?”

Half asleep, I thought for a moment and said with a wink, the beginning. I gave her back the manuscript and thought about what I had just read. As it turned out, the thesis represented, for me, the beginning, the start of a never ending journey of attempted discipline and the pursuit of a higher understanding.

The train came to an abrupt stop, I stood up and slung my backpack over my shoulder; I touched Marie on the head and noticed that her mother had come to life, and we exchanged a glance. She looked better, and I hoped they would be well.

As I walked down the train corridor, I remembered the handwritten words on the last page of the manuscript, it simply said, “Yes, now you are now ready to receive with an open mind.” Those words I’ve never forgotten. The seed was planted, and my thinking slowly began to evolve.

That summer in Europe, Sandy and I wore out our Eurail passes, we traveled from Rome to Denmark and then down to North Africa and stopped in every country along the way. She read the best-selling novel that year, The Exorcist, while I read Frommer’s Europe on Five Dollars a Day. Everywhere we went we heard Gershon Kingsley’s The Popcorn Song. We hitch-hiked through the Pyrenees on our way to Gavarnie. Sadly we were in Munich’s Olympic Village several weeks before the Munich Massacre of the Israeli athletes. We met wonderful people all over Europe, and it was a fabulous trip. I will never forget it.

Years later, when time and space became more apparent, when youth gave way to the realities of life and the consequences of action and complacency became as clear as day, it was only then that I truly began to evolve and remember the moment.

“We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.” ~ Herman Melville

“I hate having my picture taken. One of the best things about my job is the other opportunities it has allowed me to do.”

Gandy became internationally known after shooting the Dolce &

Gabbana’s Light Blue campaign commercial. The video, filmed off the coast of Capri by Mario Testino and set against the sparkling and sun-drenched Tyrrhenian Sea, is amazing to behold. David, dressed only in a white speedo, starts to undo the bikini top of supermodel Bianca Balti. Then the director yells, “Cut!” The first day it launched, it recieved 11 million internet hits.

Balti remembers the sun-soaked affair saying, “During the shoot, David and I laughed a lot, so I think it made us very comfortable with one another and after a while it started feeling like we had known each other for ages. And he’s got such an amazing body!”

Balti said. “It was really relaxed and playful. It felt like David and I were on holiday together! Working in the sun was such a luxury.

For me it was fun to work in such an idyllic location, that’s the great thing about photo shoots - they can take you anywhere.”

Others who worked on the video and photo shoot recalled the vision of Balti’s sculpted cheekbones and Gandy’s impossibly chiseled torso, and “it’s hard to believe the boat didn’t buckle under the pressure of so much gorgeousness”.

David Gandy is currently the world’s most in-demand and highest paid male model ever.

92

93

“A gentleman will have a backbone - he’ll have principles and morals and will not move away from those at any cost.”

Long before the catwalks beckoned, super-model and motoring enthusiast David Gandy worked for Auto Express magazine, delivering Porsches and Jaguars to the track for testing. Nowadays, between photo sessions, he reviews cars for British GQ and works as a Jaguar brand ambassador and races cars.

Recently David drove a vintage Jag in Italy’s famous Mille Miglia race in an impeccably tailored three piece. That’s not an ad campaign; that’s just the “Fabulous Life of David Gandy”. He co-drove one leg of the famous road race with Yasmin Le Bon in a 1950’s Jaguar. David notes that this event couldn’t exist anywhere other than Italy. It is utter madness at times, but as much about the passion of the locals as anything else.

The weather was terrible on the first day, but there were hundreds of people lining the route, still cheering after midnight. Early in the race, Le Bon & Gandy were “forced off the road by a competitor” which caused body damage to the fender and side of the Jaguar. They re-entered the race, ultimately finishing in 158th place out of 415 cars.

In real life, Gandy has a watch and automobile collection that would make James Bond wimper, and an unequivial loyalty to Savile Row, even when he’s off-duty.

In his personal time, he’s remodeling an 1860s Victorian townhouse in London.

How the heck does he manage to get it all done?

94

“Head for the moon. If you miss, you will still be among the stars.”

~ David Gandy

96

105 97

Since February 2011, Gandy has regularly written a blog for British Vogue where he discusses his career, cars, antiques, fashion/style, and life in London.

David said that a true gentleman holds chivalry and politeness in great regard.

He holds the door for people, he gives up his seat, he takes off his coat to a lady on a cold evening. He still remains true to these now old-fashioned actions, even though the world has changed somewhat.

He also admitted to us that it’s difficult to do those things these days because women have become very powerful. “Men, I think, have stopped doing that because they’re not quite sure where they stand with women.” Yet he believes men should not let go of such traditions His fashion sense is sleek, well-tailored and precise. “My style icons are Steve McQueen, James Dean, Paul Newman, and Cary Grant.” But, the best dressed man in the world, in Gandy’s opinion, is Prince Charles. “When you look at Prince Charles, he’s always elegantly dressed.” Gandy himself would certainly be at the top of that list too.

There’s a saying I’ve always beieved in: “There’s no such thing as luck. Just a well-prepared man waiting for an opportunity.”
