I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

14. SIHIR_090602_114.JPG: Stabile-Mobile: Red Lily 1947 Alexander Calder Collection in Depth Alexander Calder Celebrated as the inventor of the wind-propelled sculpture known as the mobile, Alexander Calder created imaginative works that combine the premises of European modernism with engineering. American ingenuity, and a keen wit, Calder worked in a variety of media, including wood, wire, and painted sheet metal, which he transformed into circus figures, caricatures, wall reliefs, constellations, mobiles, and monumental outdoor projects. Calder was committed to exploring abstract form, particularly how it can be transformed through movement and changes in size. Equally memorable, however, are his works' delightful affinity with biomorphic, anthropomorphic, and cosmic forms. The Hirshhorn's collection includes forty-seven sculptures and works on paper spanning Calder's long career, which stretched from the 1920s into the 1970s. All but one of these works were donated by the Museum's founding donor, Joseph H. Hirshhorn, who collected the work of a number of artists in depth. Almost exact contemporaries, Hirshhorn (1899-1981) and Calder (1898-1976) each had a home in Connecticut, which facilitated a professional friendship and Hirshhorn's acquisition of this exceptional selection of works by Calder, who is considered to be the most important American sculptor of his generation.

51. SIHIR_090602_450.JPG: In the Infield Was Patty Peccavi 1981 Edward Kienholz / Nancy Reddin Kienholz In the mid-1960s, Edward Kienholz earned international renown for his assemblages of found objects and tableaux addressing challenging subjects, usually laced with social and political commentary. Beginning in 1981, his wife, Nancy Reddin, became his collaborator. The artists have stated that "In the Infield Was Patty Peccavi" was intended as a statement about birth control, but the imagery seems more broadly to express a sense of limitation and despair. The work's title conveys nuances about responsibility and guilt: the baseball allusion might imply expectations to "play the game" properly (to avoid "errors"), while the name Peccavi means "I have sinned" in Latin (formerly the opening phrase in the confessional).

55. SIHIR_090602_488.JPG: The Age of Enlightenment -- Antoine Lavoisier 2008 Yinka Shonibare Yinka Shonibare's tableaux re-imagine icons and tropes of Western art and history and feature figures clad in period costumes sewn from batik textiles. These fabrics were originally manufactured in Holland for trade in Indonesia, where they met with low consumer demand and were consequently exported to Africa. "The Age of Enlightenment -- Antoine Lavoisier" depicts a French intellectual celebrated for his discoveries in chemistry who was also involved in politics and economics. The composition includes scientific props and draws inspiration from a famous painting of Lavoisier and his wife by French artist Jacques-Louis David. Shonibare, however, depicts Lavoisier seated in a wheelchair in reference to the artist's experience of being disabled rather than as an attribute of the historical figure. Although Shonibare's subjects are typically rendered headless, this alteration has particular meaning in this work, as Lavoisier was guillotined during the French Revolution.

58. SIHIR_090602_517.JPG: The Pink Tree 1999 John Currin The style of John Currin's "The Pink Tree" recalls Northern Renaissance painting, in particular the works of the German master Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553), who used the nude to depict such religious and mythological scenes and Adam and Eve with the Tree of Knowledge and the Judgment of Paris. Currin updates the look of his figures with faces that seem to reflect contemporary ideals of beauty and provocatively extends the tradition of the nude in art into today's culture, which has seen the rise of feminism and related critiques of representations of women.

63. SIHIR_090602_566.JPG: Portrait of Andy Warhol 1982 Julian Schnabel Julian Schnabel, who is known for his paintings on unconventional materials like broken crockery and truck tarpaulins, first painted on velvet in 1982. Ranging in its associations from opera-house curtains to kitsch artworks, velvet might be seen as fitting for a portrait of artist Andy Warhol (American, 1928-1987), who work black velvet jackets and sponsored the 1960s rock band The Velvet Underground. Schnable's depiction of the bare-torsoed artist alludes to the portraits of Warhol made by painter Alice Neel and photographer Richard Avalon soon after Warhol was shot and critically wounded in his studio in 1968. Schnabel gave this portrait to Warhol, who kept it in his collection until his death. In return, Schnabel received several portraits that Warhol had done of him. The two artists admired each other's work and shared the view that imagery drawn from popular culture can be a source for art.
