Los Angeles-based artist Brandon Deeners first solo exhibition in Paris features 15 large-scale oil paintings.
PARIS.- Tony Shafrazi / Gallery Without Walls and Doriano Navarra / Galerie Enrico Navarra are presenting Resonance at Galerie 75 Faubourg, Los Angeles-based artist Brandon Deeners first solo exhibition in Paris, featuring 15 large-scale oil paintings. The title highlights the striking result of combining more than one element within music, painting, and among people, with a particular emphasis on the splendor and pleasure of jazz, as seen in the focused expression of Miles Davis playing trumpet (Sketches of Miles [all works 2024]), the vibrant depiction of John Coltrane with two saxophones (Soprano and Tenor), and the tightly packed crowd of Tennessee teenagers blowing various brass instruments (The Aristocrat of Bands). One of the largest canvases in the exhibition, Players of the Horn, gives homage to Jean- Michel Basquiats Horn Players, 1 ... More |

SEOUL.- White Cube Seoul is presenting DUST by Marguerite Humeau, marking the artists debut solo exhibition in Asia. Comprising new sculptures, photography and works on paper, the works in the presentation visualise the unseen natural forces involved in the mechanics of space and time. Animating dust as a key protagonist in an operatic milieu, Humeau takes this overlooked matter and imbues it with meaning as symbolic of the interconnected forces of life and death, and carrier of multitudinous ...

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.- When Roy Cockrum, a one-time struggling actor and a former monk, won a $259 million Powerball jackpot in 2014, he decided to splurge on something a bit out of the ordinary: supporting nonprofit theater. He set up a foundation that has given $25 million to 39 American theaters so far, which is why he found himself the other night at the Old Globe in San Diego. He was there ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- If youre about to stay up all night atop a cold mountain, to squint through an eyepiece at shimmering, impossibly distant specks of light or to stare at pixels on a screen, it helps to have eaten a good meal first. So it was dismaying to learn recently that Palomar Observatory in Southern California, home to the famous 200-inch Hale ... More | |

PARIS.- Since the Paris Olympics kicked off, a pair of tiny orange Dutch clogs, the unofficial pin of the Netherlands team, has become a coveted currency among the athletes. Nearly 1 inch long and dangling from a butterfly clutch, the pin exchanged hands between Yara ten Holte, a Dutch handball player, and Ilona Maher, a U.S. womens rugby star, who gleefully flaunted her prize on TikTok. One thing about the Olympic Village is, trading pins is serious business, Maher said last ... More | |

Walter Arlen, Holocaust refugee and belated composer, is dead at 103NEW YORK, NY.- Walter Arlen, a Viennese musical prodigy who fled to the United States after Nazi Germany annexed Austria in 1938 and became a music critic and a late-in-life composer of Holocaust and Jewish-exile remembrances in song, died on Sept. 3, 2023, in Santa Monica, California. He was 103. The death, in a hospital, was not widely reported at the time; Howard Myers, Arlens husband and sole survivor, confirmed it to The New York Times only recently. Arlen and Myers, longtime residents of Santa Monica, had been companions for 65 years and were married in 2008 after Californias Supreme Court upheld the legality of same-sex marriages. Even after eight decades, Arlens memories remained vivid of his father being dragged off to a concentration camp; of his mothers nervous breakdown and suicide; of his familys home, business ... More They translated the books of others. Now they're writing their own.NEW YORK, NY.- By many measures, Bruna Dantas Lobato is quite the literary star. At 33, the Brazilian American has published a cascade of translations, both fiction and nonfiction, from Portuguese to English, and last year won the National Book Award for translated literature. But one story, she said, was missing from her bibliography: her own. With her debut novel, Blue Light Hours, centered on a Brazilian student who sees her close relationship with her mother reduced to a computer screen when she moves to New England for college, she is finally closing that gap. (The book is due out in October, from Grove Atlantic.) I wanted to write the kind of novel I hadnt found yet, she said. Knowing two languages, she added, allowed her to play with different styles and genres to tell that story. She isnt alone. A growing cohort of translators is expanding ... More The director of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' on those spoilery surprisesNEW YORK, NY.- Though director Shawn Levy has spent the last several months promoting his new blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, there was so much he couldnt say until now. This conversation will be tantamount to therapy for me, Levy joked last week as he signed on to a video call to discuss cameos and plot elements that had to be kept hidden until after the films juggernaut opening weekend. (Major spoilers follow.) Though trailers sold the movie as a team-up between Ryan Reynolds meta mercenary, Deadpool, and Hugh Jackmans surly mutant, Wolverine, the starry supporting cast includes some big surprises, including Jennifer Garner as the assassin Elektra, Wesley Snipes as the vampire hunter Blade and Channing Tatum as the card-tossing mutant Gambit. The films multiverse-spanning shenanigans also allow the return ... More Barbara Howar, irreverent memoirist of Washington society, dies at 89NEW YORK, NY.- Barbara Howar, a bestselling author, television interviewer and gleefully nonconformist fixture of the Washington social scene, died Friday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 89. The cause was complications of dementia, her daughter, Bader Howar, said. By her 30s, Barbara Howar had become known in Washington as a successful hostess. The headline on a 1966 Life magazine article about her declared, A Swinger Frugs Gaily Into the Hostess Gap. (The frug, pronounced froog, was a dance. The word swinger was used more broadly then.) Early newspaper articles identified her as Mrs. Edmond N. Howar, in the society-column style of the period. Her husband at the time was a prominent Washington real estate developer. But it was Laughing All the Way, her irreverent 1973 memoir, that put Barbara ... More David Lynch says he has emphysemaNEW YORK, NY.- David Lynch, co-creator of the groundbreaking series Twin Peaks and director of Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet, said Monday that he had emphysema but that he would not retire. Lynch, 78, confirmed the diagnosis in a social media post after revealing it in an interview featured in the September issue of Sight and Sound, a monthly film magazine by the British Film Institute. He added that his mobility was limited and that he could continue directing only remotely. After the interview was quoted in several publications, Lynch said in a social post that he had no plans to retire. Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a ...

More Embodied Forms: Painting Now - group show opens in September at Thaddaeus Ropac Ely HouseLONDON.- Embodied Forms: Painting Now brings together new works by seven artists who reconfigure the relationship between subjectivity and the body, interrogating how its complexities are given form in painting today. Encompassing diverse material, stylistic and conceptual approaches, the exhibition features works by a group of international artists: Carolina Aguirre, Dean Fox, Olga Grotova, Michael Ho, Effie Wanyi Li, YaYa Yajie Liang and Eva Helene Pade. Themes emerge and commingle across the exhibition, with the relationship between bodies and their environments whether narrative and/or painterly standing at the fore. While figurative traditions run as a rich seam through art history, today art has become an essential means for reimagining how embodiment is expressed and perceived. Embodiment intimately entwines ... More Akili McDowell, star of 'David Makes Man,' is charged with murderNEW YORK, NY.- Akili McDowell, an actor who starred in the television series David Makes Man, has been charged with murder in the July shooting death of a man in the parking lot of a Houston apartment complex, authorities said.

Flashback On a day like today, German painter Emil Nolde was born August 07, 1867. Emil Nolde (7 August 1867 - 13 April 1956) was a German painter and printmaker. He was one of the first Expressionists, a member of Die Brücke, and is considered to be one of the great oil painting and watercolour painters of the 20th century. He is known for his vigorous brushwork and expressive choice of colors. Golden yellows and deep reds appear frequently in his work, giving a luminous quality to otherwise somber tones. His watercolors include vivid, brooding storm-scapes and brilliant florals. In this image: Members of the media take a look at some of the paintings by German artist Emil Nolde presented at the Grand Palais in Paris, Wednesday Sept. 24, 2008. Painting at left is: Leute Im Dortkrug, (At the Village Hotel).
