Description of Pictures: Coco Chanel: A New Portrait by Marion Pike, Paris 1967-71
January 13 through February 12, 2017
Coco Chanel: A New Portrait by Marion Pike, Paris 1967-71 explores the profound friendship between California artist Marion Pike and legendary designer Coco Chanel. This exhibition features five portraits of Chanel, painted Pike, following a meeting between the two women at Chanel's Paris atelier in 1967. The meeting sparked an immediate friendship between the women captured in the series of at least 13 expressive, color-saturated portraits of the fashion icon. In addition to the large-scale portraits, the exhibit features haute couture pieces styled by Coco Chanel for Marion and her daughter, Jeffie Pike Durham, who generously loaned all of the pieces for the collection. Curated by Amy de la Haye, London College of Fashion, this exhibit marks the first time this collection will be displayed in North America.

7. KATCHA_170127_60.JPG: This exhibition explores the friendship and working practices of two, extraordinarily talented, creative women. Californian artist Marion Pike met Coco Chanel in 1967, when she went to the coutureiere's Paris atelier to paint her portrait. Chanel has been depicted as lonely and embittered in later life. The story of their immediate friendship reveals an alternative narrative. Marion painted at least thirteen expressive portraits and huge, color saturated, works of Coco seated amidst bolts of cloth. And, Coco dressed the artist and her daughter in chic, luxurious clothing. Surviving garments reveal that, even in her eighties, Chanel's fashion flair remained undiminished. Exhibiting their works together an exquisite, shared, palette emerges. Portraits of women whose life stories intersect with those of Marion and Cocos own, along with one of Marion's many self-portraits are also exhibited. The artist's ability to also capture places and nature is demonstrated eloquently by Paris cityscapes and flower paintings. The exhibits are lent by Jeffie Pike Durham, Marion's daughter. She met Coco in 1968. It was an unforgettable, affirmative experience. This is also Jeffie's story...

2017 photos: Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Trips this year: Civil War Trust conferences in Pensacola, FL, Chattanooga, TN (via sites in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee) and Fredericksburg, VA, a family reunion in The Dells, Wisconsin (via sites in Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin), New York City, and my 12th consecutive San Diego Comic Con trip (including sites in Arizona). For some reason, several of my photos have been published in physical books this year which is pretty cool. Ones that I know about: "Tarzan, Jungle King of Popular Culture" (David Lemmo), "The Great Crusade: A Guide to World War I American Expeditionary Forces Battlefields and Sites" (Stephen T. Powers and Kevin Dennehy), "The American Spirit" (David McCullough), "Civil War Battlefields: Walking the Trails of History" (David T. Gilbert), "The Year I Was Peter the Great: 1956 — Khrushchev, Stalin's Ghost, and a Young American in Russia" (Marvin Kalb), and "The Judge: 26 Machiavellian Lessons" (Ron Collins and David Skover). Number of photos taken this year: just below 560,000.
