A man in a red jacket balances on top of his wife's shoulders, toasting the world with a glass of wine in a work of art that exudes joy and celebrates the deepest of loves. The man on the canvas is Marc Chagall, one of the most beloved artists of the 20th century, and the painting is "Double Portrait With Wine Glass," an 8-foot portrayal that is the masterpiece in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto that runs through Jan. 15, 2012. Chagall and the Russian Avant-Garde" includes 118 works from the Centre Pompidou in Paris, with 32 Chagall pieces, most of which were donated by the artist himself or as bequests by family members, giving a unique, personal quality to the exhibition.
In the fourth century B.C., Aristotle wrote that "colors may mutually relate like musical concords for their pleasantest arrangement." According to John Locke, knowledge is gained exclusively through experience by way of the senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. Richard Wagner associated colors with particular musical signatures. And in his seminal On the Spiritual in Art (1912), Wassily Kandinsky wrote: "Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, andstop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?" All of these observations describe sensory crossovers, an uncommon but natural phenomenon experienced by a select few who have the ability to reinterpret sounds as ...

All hearts - and stomachs - belonged to dada on Wednesday night when the National Gallery of Art previewed its major survey of the avant-garde art movement. The East Building soiree reflected the irreverent, mechanistic spirit of "Dada" (opening to the public on Sunday), by serving hors d'oeuvres from a conveyor belt and "vertical" buffets on wheels. Several guests mentioned seeing a much bigger Parisian version of the show - 1,900 objects versus the NGA's 450 - where it originated at the Centre Pompidou last year. "It was so much more frenetic in Paris," collector Barbara Levine said. "Here, you can focus on each object." Pompidou Director Alfred Pacquement and exhibit curator Laurent Le Bon were diplomatic about the NGA's interpretation. "Dada is a world, and there are many possible e...
NEW ORLEANS - France has offered to fly over some of the city's musicians and provide them with rent-free residences and monthly stipends for up to three months, in hopes of compensating for concerts canceled after Hurricane Katrina. Major French museums - including the Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay and the Centre Pompidou - also intend to help the New Orleans Museum of Art put on an exhibit of major French artists, probably in 2007.
Look at a Norval Morrisseau painting and you see brilliant color fields both interrupted and joined by heavy black lines. As you look closer, they resolve themselves into exuberant animal forms and compelling human figures. Then you notice totemic shapes and symbols that seem to link the everyday images with a mystic, inspirational realm, and you realize that Morrisseau, like many insightful artists, balances between the palpable and spiritual worlds. He paints what he sees and knows with his inner eye, not the eyes of the body. Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1932, Morrisseau is also known as Copper Thunderbird, a name considered powerful in his native Anishnaabe culture. He has poured his inner vision onto paper, canvas, and birch bark since the mid-1950s, and shot to public fame with his...
