If you haven’t made it to the Georgia Museum of Art to see Salvador Dali’s illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy, you’re in luck- you have 4 more days to see it! From the GMOA website:  “The interdisciplinary nature of this exhibition especially befits a university museum,” says Lynn Boland, GMOA Pierre Daura Curator of European Art and the exhibition’s in-house curator. “In addition to connecting 14th-century Italian literature and 20th-century visual art, the suite also makes references to, for example, hyperdimensional geometry.” Read more at: http://www.georgiamuseum.org/about/pressroom-item/dali-illustrates-dantes-divine-comedy-on-view-at-the-georgia-museum-of-art
Traveling this summer? Passing through Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta? Make sure to stop by the special exhibition, “All Creatures Great and Small.”  Featured in this exhibition are works from the Georgia Museum of Art’s permanent collection and Carl Mullis. “ Paintings, sculptures and mixed-media creations by such folk masters as Howard Finster and Mose Tolliver and by such outstanding but relatively unheralded contemporary artists as Jim Lewis and Ted Gordon are on display in the Atlanta airport’s T gates. The majority of artists featured have spent their lives in the South, including the following artists from Georgia: Michael Crocker, Finster, Willie Jinks, R.A. Miller and O.L. Samuels.” Check out this article on the GMOA’s website and a link to an upcoming film documentary about the art: http://www.georgiamuseum.org/art/exhibitions/on-view/all-creatures-great-and-small

TOMORROW, Tuesday, October 12th: Donald Lipski Lecture As part of the Visiting Scholar and Scholar Series at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, sculptor Donald Lipski will be speaking at 5:30 in room S151. From the Lamar Dodd website (http://art.uga.edu/index.php?pt=4&id=140#): “Donald Lipski is a sculptor living and working in Philadelphia since 2006. While best known for his poetic combining and altering of existing things, he has in recent years created many prominent and compelling public sculptures. Since coming to prominence with his Museum of Modern Art installation Gathering Dust in 1979—thousands of tiny sculptures pinned to the walls—his work has been shown in galleries and museums around the world, and he’s in the permanent collections of dozens of museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney, The Menil Collection, and The Chicago Art Institute. He is the winner of many awards and honors, including The Guggenheim Fellowship, National Endowment for the Arts Awards, and The Academy Award of the American Academy of Arts & Letters, and The Rome Prize. His public projects have been both overwhelmingly popular with the general public and garnered critical acclaim. Says Lipski, “I strive to both seduce and challenge the viewer, to provoke wonder and delight…to lead him to question, to make his own metaphors.”“ For more information: http://donaldlipski.net/

The Badia of Florence: Art and Observance in a Renaissance Monastery A lecture by SCAD Atlanta Art History professor Dr. Anne Leader. “My talk will present a relatively unknown fresco cycle that adorns the second story of the so-called “Orange Cloister” of the Florentine Badia, an ancient, powerful, and wealthy Benedictine monastery that underwent a thorough institutional reform in the early fifteenth century. Murals depicting the Life of St. Benedict were painted in the cloister between 1435 and 1439 at a time when the Benedictine Order in Italy was experiencing profound change as certain Italian houses undertook a reform of their monastic practice and a refashioning of their corporate identity. The Florentine Badia was one of four Italian monasteries to initiate a Reform Congregation in 1419, and the frescoes that decorate the Badia’s cloister served as a means to define what it meant to be Benedictine.” TONIGHT- September 2, 2010 - at 5pm in room S150 of the Lamar Dodd School of Art Covered in today’s issue of the Red & Black: http://www.redandblack.com/2010/09/01/author-talks-fresco-fascination/
