Eduard Angeli Cities on Water

On display through April 2, 2023

Eduard Angeli (b. Austria, 1942) began spending summers in Venice, Italy in 2002 and 2003 and in 2004 he went there to live. Before this he had lived, and painted, in Istanbul and more recently sojourned for a long period in St. Petersburg. Hence the title of this exhibition, with eighteen large works depicting motifs from these three cities.

Angeli is a landscape painter in his favored medium of charcoal. His motifs derive from but do not copy nature. They convey ‘ideas’, or realities beyond appearances which evoke hidden and mysterious sensations. His somber scenes, deprived of human beings, express a delicious, sentimental melancholy.

This exhibition is curated by Philip Rylands, President and CEO of The Society of the Four Arts, and organized by The Four Arts.

Contemplating Character

Portrait Drawings & Oil Sketches From Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud

On display through April 2, 2023

Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748-1825), A Turbaned Man in Distress, 1815, black chalk on ivory laid paper.

Contemplating Character: Portrait Drawings & Oil Sketches from Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud explores the evolution of portraiture in 80 works on paper by famous European and American artists. The works range from the 18th century to present day and encompass the many art styles and movements during this expanse of time. They reveal the challenge of artists engaged with portraiture: accurately to portray an individual’s physical appearance and capture the sitter’s personality and soul.

All the works are drawn from the personal collection of Robert Flynn Johnson, Curator Emeritus of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Contemplating Character: Portrait Drawings & Oil Sketches from Jacques-Louis David to Lucian Freud is organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA.

2022 Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards

By Anthony Ochieng Onyango of Nairobi, Kenya

This exhibition showcases winning entries of the 2nd Annual Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards, a collaboration between the African Wildlife Foundation and Nature’s Best Photography. The awards are a global competition that attracts photographers at all levels of expertise who advocate for wildlife conservation. 48 prints from award winners and highly honored selections will visit the Four Arts. “Bringing Africa to the World, and the World to Africa” defines this global competition, geared towards developing multi-media plaforms that engage and involve Africans and also those traveling to Africa in a blended narrative of conservation awareness and visual storytelling.

The 2022 Benjamin Mkapa African Wildlife Photography Awards exhibition was organized by the African Wildlife Foundation and Nature’s Best Photography, in honor of one of Africa’s most beloved leaders, H.E. Benjamin Mkapa (1938-2020), to engage global audiences in conserving wildlife and wild lands in modern Africa. This exhibition is generously supported by The Cregan Team at Sotheby’s International Realty.
