Francis Alÿs, Fabiola
 This
is a project by Belgian artist Francis Alÿs.
Francis Alÿs has assembled a significant collection of nearly identical
paintings and other depictions of fourth-century Saint Fabiola over the
last two decades.
All of these are based on a renowned, but lost, portrait by nineteenth-century
French academic painter Jean-Jacques Henner.
This much-venerated image has been so assiduously copied by amateurs and
professionals alike that it has become a popular icon, a phenomenon that,
as the artist stated, "indicates a different criterion of what a
masterwork could be."
Gathered from flea markets, antique shops, and private collections throughout
Europe and the Americas, Alÿs's collection offers a window onto aesthetic,
sociological, and theological values over the past century and more.
This exhibition will display Alÿs's group of more than three hundred
Fabiola portraits, all of them copies of a lost original, mostly paintings,
as well as several versions in needlepoint, wood relief, and other materials.
This exhibition was organized by the Dia Art Foundation
and curated by Lynne Cooke of Dia. The coordinating curator at LACMA is
J. Patrice Marandel, European art.

Penetrating Vision: Jean Fouquet and the Art of Portraiture
Erik Inglis, professor of art history at Oberlin
College, examines the portraits of Jean Fouquet, the most celebrated
French painter of the 1400s.
As royal artist, Fouquet used his realistic portraits to advertise his
patrons' status and power at the court.
His portraits include portrayals of royalty, courtiers, and in one case,
even the king's mistress.
Complements the exhibition Faces of Power and Piety: Medieval Portraiture.

Sur le Motif: Painting in Nature around 1800
During the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries, artists from
across Europe set themselves up outdoors in the clear, pure light of the
Italian countryside to practice transcribing the atmosphere and depth
of picturesque landscape views. Originally intended as studies for more
formal, idealized studio paintings, the sketches they created are today
considered highly satisfying (and increasingly valuable) works of art
in their own right.
Sur le Motif: Painting in Nature around 1800 features recent Museum acquisitions
by artists such as Jean-Victor Bertin, Jean-Joseph Xavier Bidauld,
Camille Corot, Simon Denis, and Pierre-Henri de Valenciennes.
Loans from local collections, both public and private, broaden the scope
of this concise survey.

Rodin: The Back Story
Jane M. Roos, Professor Emerita, Hunter College and the Graduate Center
of the City
University of New York
Today, Auguste Rodin is recognized as one of the greatest sculptors of
the Western world.
From The Thinker, The Kiss and The Gates of Hell to The Burghers of Calais
and The Monument to Balzac, he created resonant works that changed the
rules by which sculpture was made.
“The Back Story” tells how Rodin rose from grinding poverty
and, with little formal training, acquired the skills that led to a mastery
of his profession. However, great originality often comes at a price.
Jane M. Roos analyzes why his sculptures were so controversial at the
time they were made—and why they have endured into the 21st century.
