About the Item
Brodsky’s first classroom experience under Ad Reinhardt at Brooklyn College in 1961 was an extraordinary one. The students were asked to take their places in front of their easels in the large studio. The master had set up each easel with a 30 x 40-inch canvas primed white. As if the sight of the archetypal blank canvas was not intimidating enough, he spoke only once, issuing the simple directive: “Begin.” Then, with no explanation, he quickly departed the studio full of surprised students. When Reinhardt returned a few hours later, he slowly paced by the easels, reviewing the paintings in progress, but rarely speaking. When he came to Brodsky’s painting he paused and asked, “Who taught you how to paint?” Brodsky struggled to find a reply when Reinhardt answered his own question, saying, “You must have known all along.”

- Large TheloBy Diana KurzLocated in Lawrence, NYThe story of the post-WWII New York School artists is still being written. The role of women in the art of the day still needs examination and study. Kurz is one such example. Diana Kurz (b. 1938) was born into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family whose business was Aryanized after the Anschluss forcing the family to flee, first to Spain, then across Europe, and finally to the United States. Brought up as a "normal" American girl, Kurz always wanted to be an artist. She studied at Brandeis, at Hunter with Robert Motherwell and received her MFA from Columbia. She received instruction from Hans Hoffmann, studied with Phillip Guston...Category

- Woman, 1986 - oil paint, 142x114 cm., framedBy Damiano BernardLocated in Nice, FROil on canvas, signed back Bernard Damiano ne découvre sa ville natale, Coni, qu'en 1935, après neuf années d'émigration familiale avec son père Pietro (1895-1964), sa mère Rosa (née en 1897) et sa sœur Angela2, en Alsace, puis à Vallauris. En 1940, en même temps qu'il fait l'apprentissage du métier de taillage de la pierre dans l'atelier Revello à Coni, Bernard Damiano se lie, par des affinités artistiques et littéraires, d'une amitié durable avec le futur poète et linguiste Sergio Arneodo : plus tard, ils s'attacheront communément à la valorisation culturelle et spirituelle d'un village du Val Grana, Sancto-Lucio de Coumboscuro3. Trouvant un emploi de tailleur de pierre et de marbre à Tende (Alpes-Maritimes) en 1948 (c'est là qu'il rencontre son épouse Giselle2), puis d'ébéniste à Nice en 1951, il vit successivement à Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vallauris, puis de nouveau Nice où, dans un atelier situé dans un sous-sol de la rue Benoit Bunico4 dans le Vieux-Nice, il peint tout en étudiant les peintres de la Renaissance et les impressionnistes. Lors de sa première exposition personnelle (Nice 1958, suivie rapidement de participations à des salons), Bernard Damiano reçoit les encouragements du peintre niçois Sylvain Vigny (1904-1970) avec qui il restera en relations. Sa vie à Nice est interrompue par deux années à Paris (Bernard réside alors rue Saint-Vincent, au cœur de la vie montmartroise), coïncidant avec sa première exposition personnelle dans la capitale, de 1966 et 1968. Il obtient la nationalité française en octobre 1974 et se partage dès lors entre Nice et San Remo2. C'est précisément au cours de la décennie 1970 que la peinture de Bernard Damiano est dite s'éloignant d'une parenté avec Jean Dubuffet, l'Art brut ou le mouvement Cobra pour, dans « une touche nerveuse et une pâte triturée »5, puiser son style dans la suite de l'expressionnisme6. Cette proposition est toutefois énoncée avec réserve : à l'instar de l'espagnol Eduardo Pisano, Bernard n'a jamais daté ses œuvres, reprenant et retouchant même souvent un même tableau pendant plusieurs années. C'est peut-être dans l'usage du « trait-couleur et du flamboiement des chairs...Category
