"New Realism" Paintings by Jean-Noel Vandaele Upcoming at Villanova University Art Gallery
Villanova, PA Some 15 years ago Jean-Noel Vandaele ended his long career as an abstract painter to become a figurative one re-creating paintings of Flemish, Japanese and American master artists. He substituted his own flat, vivid colors; simplified detail, redrew characters, and gave them plain faces. Once into each painting he added a bright yellow head in profile, an open smile its only feature. The Vandaele's exhibit continues to October 4. All exhibits at the Villanova University Art Gallery are free and open to the public. Convenient on-campus parking is available. The Art Gallery is open weekdays from 9 am well into most evenings. For extended and weekend hours, and other information, telephone the Art Gallery at (610) 519-4612. The artist's work and other information about him may be found on his website http://www.jn-vndaele.com .from his Villanova exhibit may be previewed at www.artgallery.villanova.edu.

The museum is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4:30 p.m. This is an amazing opportunity to view in-depth, inspiring artwork. It acts as a visual autobiography of Gilot’s life and her evolution as an artist, muse and student of the great Pablo Picasso, eventually breaking away to find her own truth, as all artists must do. But the artwork itself is not where Gilot found truth; it merely points to it, whispers a suggestion. As the great man said, “Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth.”

An artistic ‘Prom’ for posterity and beyond S
ome pictures grab hold of your attention because they feature the appearance of famous figures. These are different. They are not photographs of recognizable celebrities or people accustomed to enjoying high social status. Instead, they are anonymous high school teenagers. And they are dressed to the nines for the sake of participating in the widespread rite of passage called the Senior Prom. As an exhibition of pictures of boys and girls, they represent adolescents living in such widely separated American cities as New York City, Austin, Texas, and Charlottesville, Va. As you look at them, you find there are two factors they all share. The first is that all the images were made by the same, well-known photographer, Toccarra Baguma and George Wilkinson, New York City, 2007. Mary Ellen Mark. Mary Ellen Mark (American b. 1940).

craft, a gifted photographer has framed moments of understanding that put you in touch visually with the unexpected, the ambiguous, the obvious and, on occasion, the witty. Mary Ellen Mark was born in suburban Philadelphia and began photographing with a small box type camera at the age of 9. She attended Cheltenham High School, where she developed a distinct talent for the visual arts. In due course, she earned a BFA degree in painting and art history at the University of Pennsylvania in 1962. Shortly thereafter, she took graduate studies in photojournalism at the university’s Annenberg School of Communication. That was followed by travel and picture-making abroad on a Fulbright Scholarship. On her return to America, she took up residence in
New York City and achieved considerable recognition for various photographic series including Vietnam War demonstrations, the Women’s Liberation movement, transvestite culture and the Times Square scene. She has also served as a unit photographer for a number of highly acclaimed motion picture films. Among them are Mike Nichols’ “Catch 22” and “Carnal Knowledge” and Francis Ford Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now.” Mark refers to her photography as a projection of her deep interest in people on the edges of society. Specifically, she has said, “I feel an affinity for people who haven’t had the best breaks in society. What I want to do more than anything else is acknowledge their existence.”

he latest addition to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway’s sparkling new image is the refurbished Rodin Museum, which opened in mid July. It joins the new Barnes Museum, which opened in May, to make the Parkway more exciting and filling in the long empty road along the Parkway — from the Free Library, at 20th, to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, at 25th, a space of five long blocks, now filled with world-class art, surely a tourist mecca. At the opening reception, members and officials got to glimpse the newly clean white neoclassical Rodin museum and enjoy French- inspired treats such as French toast bites, croissants and flavored Perrier water. The guests got the chance to wander through gardens created in the 1920s by Jacques Greber, a landscape designer, who worked with famed architect Paul Cret, who designed the building as well as the Parkway itself.
In the past three years, the paths and gardens of the Rodin Museum were returned to their original appearance by landscape architects from Olin, who also designed the grounds of the Barnes Museum next door. The opening was a garden party that would have pleased Auguste Rodin, who died in 1917 before the museum opened in 1929, displaying about 130 examples of his sculptured figures — from his masterpiece “The Gates of Hell” through “The Thinker” and “The Burghers of Calais” and “The Kiss.” Most of the pieces have been restored to their
