One-Way Ticket: Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series and Other Visions of the Great Movement North The exhibition highlights the ways in which Lawrence and others in his circles developed innovative artistic strategies to offer perspectives on this crucial episode in American history. ¶ The exhibition reunites all 60 panels of Lawrence’s Migration Series at MoMA for the first time in 20 years, and includes other accounts of the movement in a broad variety of mediums, including literature, music, photography, sociopolitical writings and paintings. www.moma.org Through September 7

Life Lines: Portrait Drawings from Dürer to Picasso Life Lines explores the role of drawing in portraiture, focusing in particular on the relationship between artist and sitter. Spanning five centuries, the drawings in the show range from Dürer’s moving likeness of his brother Endres to Picasso’s highly expressive sketch of the actress Marie Derval. Life Lines considers selfportraits, portraits of family and friends as well as more formal portraits. Some of the drawings served as preparatory studies for paintings or sculptures, while others are finished work in their own right. What all of them share, however, is that they record a likeness of someone worth remembering. www.themorgan.org

Pathmakers: Women in Art, Craft and Design, Midcentury and Today In the 1950s and 60s, an era when painting, sculpture, and architecture were dominated by men, women had considerable impact in alternative materials such as textiles, ceramics and metals. Largely unexamined in major art historical surveys—either due to their gender or choice of materials—these pioneering women achieved success and international recognition, establishing a model of professional identity for future generations of women. The legacy of these women is conveyed through a section of the exhibition that presents works by contemporary female artists and designers that reflect and expand upon the work of the earlier generation. www.madmuseum.org Through September 30 2 news & views

Albert Oehlen: Home and Garden
ERLA MARIA ARNADOTTIR www.erlamaria.com
CARYL BARQUIN utminers.utep.edu/cabarquin
The range of imagery and techniques that Oehlen has deployed throughout his career is staggering. His canvases capture haunting interiors, mutating self-portraits, archaic and digital landscapes, cryptic fragments of language, and abstractions enlivened by myriad chromatic and stylistic variations. ¶ Across all of his work, Oehlen displays an experimental and intuitive approach to painting infused with a refreshingly irrational sensibility and inspired by a variety of influences, including punk and Surrealism. In recent years, as a younger generation of artists has turned again to painting as a critical medium, Oehlen’s work has only become more influential and prescient. www.newmuseum.org Through September 18
Leighton’s Flaming June
NIKI BENEDETTO www.drexel.edu/westphal
At the end of his career, the British artist Frederic Leighton painted the now-iconic image of a sleeping woman in a vivid orange gown. This nineteenth-century masterpiece embodies the modern philosophy of “art for art’s sake,” the belief that the value of art lies in its aesthetic qualities rather than in its subject matter. The sensuously draped figure — freed from any narrative context — is integrated into a harmonious ensemble of rhythmic lines and radiant color. On loan from the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico, Flaming June makes its first public appearance in New York City in more than thirty-five years. www.frick.org

Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends
KRISTOFER DAN-BERGMAN www.kristoferdanbergman.com
MICHAEL GLENWOOD www.mglenwood.com
Throughout his career, the celebrated American painter John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) created portraits of artists, writers, actors, and musicians, many of whom were his close friends. Because these works were rarely commissioned, he was free to create images that were more radical than those he made for paying clients. He often posed these sitters informally—in the act of painting, singing, or performing, for example. Together, the portraits constitute a group of experimental paintings and drawings—some of them highly charged, others sensual, and some of them intimate, witty, or idiosyncratic. www.metmuseum.org Through October 4 news & views 3

Folk Art and American Modernism
NATALIE LAUCHLAN www.natalielauchlan.ca
In the early years of the twentieth century, a group of young, pivotal American modernists began to equate the straightforwardness, abstracted forms, and delight in color of early folk art with the new modernist art they had studied in Europe and were pioneering in America. ¶ The exhibition highlights folk art owned, collected, and exhibited by such early art-world luminaries as Holger Cahill (curator), Edith Halpert (dealer) and Juliana Force (first director of the Whitney Museum of American Art), and artists Elie Nadelman, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Charles Sheeler, among others, whose own work is shown alongside the folk art that inspired them. In regarding folk art as art and as evidence of a “usable past,” these trailblazers led their generation in preserving a continuous American artistic tradition of which they considered themselves a living part. www.folkartmuseum.org Through Septermber 27

The Art of Saving a Life
RYOTA MATSUMOTO ryotamatsumotostudio.blogspot.com
Vaccines are one of the greatest advances in human history. They have saved millions of lives, and led to better health and opportunity for children and families everywhere. The stories behind this success and the future promise of immunization must be told. They are stories of risk and bravery, the passion and dedication of scientists, the love of parents and the determination of health workers. The Art of Saving a Life is a collection of these stories, as told by more than 30 world-renowned photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers, and musicians. The full collection of art will be unveiled over the course of January 2015. The project is commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

A Honey of an Idea Photographer Blake Little has just recently released a photo series: his preservation series. He’s been experimenting with the human body and honey. He’s called this series preservation because when dripping in honey, each human body seems frozen in time. He was amazed by honey’s transformations when dripped, dribbled, and poured over the human body, and how it can distort and amplify forms, highlight physical perfection, engender repulsion, and suggest both immortality and death. www.blakelittle.com

returns again and again to say ‘It is yet more difficult than you thought.’ This is the muse of form. It may be then that form serves us best when it works as an obstruction, to baffle us and deflect our intended course. It may be that when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real
work and when we no longer know which way to go, we have begun our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.” —Wendell Berry

Birthdate: 5/18 1 FAVORITE COLOR? To use in drawing: cadmium red, to wear: black 2 WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO WHILE WORKING? I listen to the radio, mostly cultural programs where not much music is played. It gives me the impression of learning all day long, but in fact I wonder if I actually remember anything of what I hear while I am working. 3 PERSON WHO HAD THE MOST INFLUENCE ON YOU? My parents. They were always
there for me (and still are). 4 FAVORITE MEDIUM AND SURFACE? I use Linel gouache. After having tested most gouache brands out there, I think that Linel is the best. I went through a long quest before I finally found the right kinds of paper for me. The ones I like most are the Fabriano Watercolor ultra smooth, the Vinco 600gr and the Peterboro cardboards. 5 WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST OR ILLUSTRATOR? My favorite artists change all the time. Right now I love Olaf Hajek, Simone Rea and Einar Turkowski. Others that I have always loved are Sempé, Bosch and Bruegel. 6 HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY? I start my day making my daily
schedule, which is always too ambitious. Then I drink my coffee while reading and responding to my emails until my eyes are fully open and my brain is connected. Then I am ready to start drawing and most importantly, I disconnect the phone! 7 FAVORITE ART DIRECTOR OR DESIGNER? I am ashamed to say this, but I don’t have a favorite designer. I appreciate the work of many of them without really knowing their names. 8 IF YOU WEREN’T AN ILLUSTRATOR WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? I think I would have liked to be a zoologist. Studying animals is a real passion for me. Sometimes I think that if I cannot make a living anymore
as an illustrator—and since I would be too old to do scientific research—I would try to find work in a zoo. 9 LAST BOOK READ? Temps glaciaires by Fred Vargas and My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf. I am always reading more than one book at a time. bl FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME? It is very hard to choose a single movie. Let’s say The Big Lebowski by the Coen brothers, one of the movies that make me laugh the most. bm WHAT DO YOU COLLECT? I have a little curiosity cabinet. I collect all sorts of little strange objects, rocks, insects, miniatures, clockwork figures, etc. bn WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR FREE TIME?

I don’t have a lot of free time, but when I do I go to the movies and the theater, I read and I spend time with my friends. bo WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE STUCK ON AN ASSIGNMENT? I persist, I keep trying, I cry, I go outside for a walk and then ideas start coming up. bp FAVORITE VACATION SPOT? When I was living in Montreal, my favorite vacation spot was Paris. But now that I live in Paris, it is Montreal because of the great friends I have there. bq WHO MAKES YOU LAUGH? My friends, my parents, the
Coen brothers and Woody Allen…and many more of course! br NAME YOUR FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE. Eating!!! I like food and especially good desserts! bs WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION? This may seem ridiculous, but it is a plush Smurf from my childhood. It is very old and horrible now. I do not sleep with it anymore of course, but I keep it like treasure since it represents my childhood happiness, those days when life was so easy. It is the relic of a
lost paradise. bt NAME SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS OVERRATED. Gluten-free food bu WHAT TIME OF DAY ARE YOU MOST PRODUCTIVE? In the evening and night cl WORDS TO LIVE BY? It is a quote in French by Gustave Thibon: “Être dans le vent est une ambition de feuille morte.” Which means, to be trendy is a dead leaf’s ambition. Être dans le vent means ‘to be trendy’ or ‘to follow trends,’ but it also literally means ‘to be in the wind.’

Todd Baxter Todd Baxter studied photography, alongside drawing, painting and sculpting at the University of New Mexico 114 photography profile
in Albuquerque, where he grew up. He got his start as a professional photographer in Chicago, surrounded by
a supportive community of friends. He’s now based out of sunny Los Angeles with his wife and creative collaborator Aubrey Videtto and their dog Ellie. ¶ When Todd and Aubrey are not in LA, they’re travelling in North America, Europe, South America and Africa, working
on personal projects or shooting for clients. www.baxterphoto.com
Birthdate: 9/1 1 FAVORITE COLOR? I love, love all colors. I think colors make the most impact in the context of the other colors they interact with, the colors around them. Colors are different frequencies along the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. I think
of them like music, vibrations of energies interacting with each other. 2 WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO WHILE WORKING? The Pixies, Yo La Tengo, Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, Beck, Peter Bjorn and John, Broken Bells, Kim Baxter 3 PERSON WHO HAD THE MOST
INFLUENCE ON YOU? Honestly, I can’t say there was just one. My parents, sisters, wife, artistic friends and teachers. 4 FAVORITE FORMAT AND CAMERA? I use a Canon 5D Mark II for much of my personal work, but there are a lot of great cameras out there. Different cameras
do different things. I use a range of cameras for my commercial projects. Cool images can be made with anything: toy cameras, old film cameras, pinhole cameras or a $50,000 medium format digital camera. 5 WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER? Hmmm…at the moment I’d

have to say Loretta Lux and Gregory Crewdson. 6 HOW DO YOU START YOUR DAY? Feeding my dog Ellie, making coffee, and having breakfast with my wife Aubrey. 7 FAVORITE ART DIRECTOR OR DESIGNER? Bob Noorda 8 IF YOU WEREN’T A PHOTOGRAPHER WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? Most likely something in the visual arts: painting, sculpture, design. I would also like to do something creative in the world of science. 9 LAST BOOK READ? Joe Meno’s Office Girl bl FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME? Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey bm WHAT DO YOU COLLECT? Art, bones, old toys, succulents, doodles, old cameras bn WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR FREE TIME? Gardening and landscaping my yard, working on Project Astoria, tide pool walks bo WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU’RE STUCK ON AN ASSIGNMENT? Keep working. Talk my thoughts through with my wife. Also, I’ve found recently that my brain keeps working on creative problems while I sleep. Often the solutions present themselves the next morning. Other times, I’ll leave the computer and take my sketchbook somewhere away from the office. I’ll make myself try a handful of solutions that seem like bad ideas. I think the best ideas are hiding amidst bad ideas. bp FAVORITE VACATION SPOT? I love exploring and discovering new things. So I’m happy to vacation pretty much anywhere. I’m really drawn to landscapes and animals.
Having recently moved from Chicago to LA, I’m looking forward to exploring this part of the world, particularly the parks and preserves along the California coast. bq WHO MAKES YOU LAUGH? My wife. My friends and family. I crack myself up a lot. TV-wise, I probably laugh hardest at America’s Funniest Home Videos or candid camera pranks (like the one of the ghost girl in an elevator). br NAME YOUR FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE. Pendleton Ward’s Adventure Time with Finn and Jake. (I don’t actually think anyone should feel guilty about watching this; it’s genius.) bs WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION? I don’t have a lot of “things” that spring to mind. Even though they aren’t by any stretch “possessions,” the first thing that popped into my mind is what I treasure most: my family and friends. But object-wise I’d say either my whale vertebrae or my Soviet high-altitude flight helmet (it looks like an astronaut helmet). bt NAME SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS OVERRATED. Religion bu WHAT TIME OF DAY ARE YOU MOST PRODUCTIVE? In my younger days I was a real night owl. I usually got my best work done between midnight and three in the morning. But now I try to stick to a 9–5 work schedule. cl WORDS TO LIVE BY? That’s a hard one…. I’d probably say something about ignoring self-doubt, working hard, and being kind to yourself and others.

Book Reviews So I Published A Magazine
Between Geometry and Geography: Mexico City
by lorraine phillips
by felipe correa, carlos garciavelez alfaro Unique in scope, scale, and civic aspiration, Mexico City is the ideal laboratory to test the capacity of urban design to construct a spatial synthesis from the geometric and organizational complexity of the city’s layered urban scenarios. Between Geometry and Geography: Mexico City examines—through photography, archival material, and analytical drawings—the urbanistic evolution of Mexico City. The volume focuses specifically on the relationship between major public works projects and the urban fragments they have created in order to construct a visual analysis of the most dominant urban morphologies at play in the city.

Eileen Gray: Her Work and Her World by jennifer goff Eileen Gray looks at the renowned and highly influential architect, furniture-maker, interior designer, and photographer. An elusive figure, Gray’s interior world has never before been observed as closely as in this ground-breaking study of her work, philosophy, and inner circle of fellow artists. The book expertly blends art history and biography to create a stunning ensemble, offering a clear beacon of light into truly understanding Eileen Gray—the woman and the professional. Gray was a self-taught polymath and her work was multifunctional, user-friendly, and ready for mass production, yet succinctly unique. As one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, her designs reveal great technical virtuosity. Her expertise in lacquer work and carpet design, often overlooked, are given due attention here, as is her fascinating relationship with the architect Le Corbusier and many other compelling and complex relationships.
