NYSS Board of Trustees Member Paula Hornbostel, Di

NYSS Board of Trustees Member Paula Hornbostel, Director of the Lachaise Foundation, will discuss the life and work of artist Gaston Lachaise TONIGHT, Wednesday, October 20th at 6pm ET “Gaston Lachaise: Immigrant in Greenwich Village” via virtual lecture at the Renee & Chaim Gross Foundation.

Registration is required and can be accessed through the link in the @rcg_foundation bio.

Lachaise was born in France and arrived in Boston in 1906, moving to New York in 1912. He left his homeland in pursuit of the woman who would become the impetus and inspiration of his life’s work, Isabel. Schooled in Paris, Lachaise discovered that America was a fertile place for a burgeoning modern artist. Rubbing shoulders with the artists and writers of Greenwich Village, amidst rallies for suffrage and prohibition, he was inspired to exhibit, carve portraits and commissions, while also nurturing his private vision of the archetypal woman. Lachaise pushed the boundaries of art, from the roaring twenties through the Great Depression, all while aiming to express “the glorification of the human being, of the human body, of the human spirit, with all that there is a daring, of magnificence, of significance.”

Paula Hornbostel is the Director and a Trustee of the Lachaise Foundation which serves to protect, promote, and perpetuate the legacy of Gaston Lachaise for the public benefit. She has organized exhibitions, facilitated loans, and lectured at museums on his life, work, and letters.

In celebration of the centennial of Chaim Gross's immigration to the United States, the Foundation is focusing our 2021 programming on illuminating the stories of artists and immigrants in the collection.

From Genre to Allegory: Figure Painting Today - VI

From Genre to Allegory: Figure Painting Today - VIRTUAL PAINTING MARATHON with Elisa Jensen
November 11th - 15th
9am - 6pm

This 5-day rigorous Painting Marathon will explore figurative imagery – in particular, looking at ideas of allegory and archetype in painting – to consider how these ideas are, and can be, used in contemporary painting. Focus will be on finding and developing personal imagery to the fullest extent by working from perception, from the imagination, and from memory. Sources will be drawings from the virtual model, the study of our own environment, and transcription of specific masterworks, western and nonwestern, from ancient times to contemporary art.

Apply today via the link in bio!

Evening Lecture Series TONIGHT, Tuesday, October 19th at 6:30pm: Alison Wilding: On Her Work

Join us by registering for individual lectures through our website (link in bio).

Alison Wilding’s sculpture has challenged expectations since she first rose to prominence as part of the so-called ‘New British Sculpture’ in the 1980’s. Over five decades Wilding’s work, which is characterized by her particular manipulation of materials, has ranged in scale from the near monumental to small handheld objects, and continues to evolve testing boundaries. She says that beyond Brexit and Covid, the ongoing climate change crisis is causing her to asses her practice.

"Lennart Anderson: A Retrospective" opens today, M

"Lennart Anderson: A Retrospective" opens today, Monday, October 18th. Our Gallery is open from 10am-6pm, 7 days a week. We look forward to welcoming you to this important exhibition on view through November 28th!

Curated by Graham Nickson and Rachel Rickert in collaboration with the artist’s estate, the exhibition features works from both public and private collections as well as Anderson’s gallery, Leigh Morse Fine Arts. Ranging from figurative works like Mrs. Suzy Peterson (1959) to the unfinished painting Three Nymphs on a Bluff left on his easel in 2015, the exhibition brings together a variety of genres, such as the human form, still life, portrait, landscape, and streetscape. Viewed together, the works attest to Anderson’s lifelong interest in the interplay of tone, color, and light. Speaking with Jennifer Samet in 2002, Anderson explained, “When you look at nature from a distance, you can see how it all fits together. There is a harmony, and that is what interests me.” The presentation also demonstrates the singular approach that informed his artmaking, which defied trends such as Abstract Expressionism.
