By C. D. Dickerson, Curator of European Art at the Kimbell Art Museum

“Maybe the best small show ever to hit New York,” wrote one critic of Bernini: Sculpting in Clay, which closed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on January 7 and is at the Kimbell February 3 through April 14. The cause for the excitement was the unprecedented opportunity to observe how the most important sculptor of the 17th century, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, developed his ideas for the monumental works in marble and bronze that secured his fame. These include spectacular fountains, spellbinding decorations for the interior of Saint Peter’s Basilica, ecstatic figures of saints set into intimate, light-filled chapels, and massive urban works such as the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Bernini planned for them by making small models in clay in conjunction with drawings. Bernini: Sculpting in Clay focuses on the models, assembling for the first time nearly all those

by Bernini that survive.

Many of the models in the exhibition are sketches, called bozzetti in Italian. During the preliminary stages of realizing a design, Bernini used clay to record his ideas quickly—to sketch them out in three dimensions.

These bozzetti are intensely beautiful works that capture the speed at which Bernini thought and the extraordinary coordination between his hand and mind. A second type of model, called a modello in Italian, also features in the exhibition. These are larger and more finished than bozzetti. Bernini often made them to show a design to a patron to win a commission or to serve as a guide for his assistants while they carved the much bigger marble. The Kimbell is proud to own the greatest modello by Bernini: Model

for the Fountain of the Moor. It is a sumptuous sculpture, displaying a range of textures and a wealth of details. No wonder his patron Pope Innocent X, on seeing the terracotta, gave Bernini the commission for the fountain, which graces the southern end of the Piazza Navona, in front of the pope’s family palace.

Bernini: Sculpting in Clay represents the first time the Harvard Art Museums has lent its collection of 15 Bernini terracottas, the largest such collection in the world. Almost all the other models that can be confidently attributed to Bernini—some 20 more—join the group from Harvard, as many as have ever been seen in one place during modern

times. The Musée du Louvre, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Bode Museum, the Vatican Museums, and public and private collections in Europe and the United States have sent their prized works to this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition. From the Kimbell’s own collection comes not just the Moor but also two bozzetti for angels on the Ponte Sant’Angelo.

In preparation for the exhibition, an extensive campaign of technical research was undertaken. The curators, including the Kimbell’s own C. D. Dickerson, spent years examining all the terracottas in Europe and the United States that had been associated with Bernini at one time or another. One of the curators, Anthony Sigel, a conservator at the Harvard Art Museums, made a special point of learning how Bernini made his models. His research has enabled a more precise understanding of those tool marks and modeling gestures that are distinctive of Bernini—his modeling handwriting. Visitors to the exhibition will enjoy a special section devoted to Sigel’s findings, where some of the secrets to recognizing an autograph model by Bernini are revealed.

In order to give full scope to Bernini’s preparatory process, the exhibition also includes almost 30 of the artist’s drawings.

These are displayed near related models to

demonstrate that, when preparing for his sculptures, Bernini moved freely between media: many of his ideas originated on paper and were expanded in clay. One of the more beautiful sheets in the exhibition is a drawing in black chalk from the Museum der Bildenden Künste Leipzig, owner of the most important collection of Bernini drawings in the world and a generous lender to the exhibition. The drawing was preparatory for a part of the Celestial Glory, the name given to the gilded stucco decorations that Bernini designed to fill the apse of Saint Peter’s.

To step into Bernini: Sculpting in Clay at the Kimbell is to step into Bernini’s world.

The visitor not only experiences the sculptor’s studio but also the extraordinary transformation he wrought on Rome. Large-scale photographs of his finished sculptures complement the models. This even includes a loose recreation of the Ponte Sant’Angelo—nearly at full scale. Under the arches of Louis Kahn’s iconic building, Rome is brought to life.

For more information, call 817-332-8451 or visit www.kimbellart.org. 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd.

This exhibition is organized by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum. It is supported by a grant from the Crystelle Waggoner Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N.A. Trustee.

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavyduty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side. Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and specialinterest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-and-screen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

northward are additional cultural touchstones: An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington to a new acquisition of last-century Native American photography by Edward S. Curtis. Close by is the Kimbell Art Museum, itself preparing for an expansion and still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America.” The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium . The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting. The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H. The NCM&HF honors women of the American West from those who have lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening

menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing

site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.

The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens.

The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world.

An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic. Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window. Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

chalk. Included in this exhibition is Simmons’ monumental work Subtlety of a Train Wreck which catches the moments just before the crash happens capturing the sensation that inevitably becomes a train wreck. Simmons’ work has been in numerous museum exhibitions across the USA. He recently completed commissions for the New York Presbyterian Hospital and the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

Shonibare, born in London but raised in Lagos, Nigeria, is known for his use of batik to explore race and colonialism. By presenting his version of “historical...figures dressed in batik, Shonibare ‘Africanizes’ his subjects, pointing out a multitude of deep-rooted mythologies, falsehoods, and prejudices that complicate the dominant narrative of history and identity.” He also employs painting, sculpture, photography and film to make the viewer question long accepted cultural concepts of the way things should be. Shonibare’s work has been exhibited in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California (2009), Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, New York, (2005) Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia (2004) and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2004) and others.

by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The multitalented Bernini was born in Naples in 1598 but Rome is home to many of his works where one finds angels and saints in cathedrals and fountains in public places produced by him and the sculptors he sometimes hired to assist him.

As a piece was in development Bernini made models in clay of many of his ideas that would culminate in life-size works in marble or bronze. “Marked with impressions from the artist’s fingers and tools, these models give the viewer a sense of looking over Bernini’s shoulder as the sculptures were taking shape.”

Forty-nine terracotta archetypes, most of them by Bernini, are on view along with 20 of his drawings including a self-portrait in colored chalk ca. 1625.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Kimbell Art Museum organized this exhibition. Closed Mondays. For more information call 817-332-8451 or visit www.kimbellart.org. 3333 Camp Bowie Blvd.

Registration for the mutton bustin’ begins at 6 p.m.

Rodeo performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. and Thursday night will be military night with free admission to anyone with veteran or military ID. Friday night will be Tough Enough to Wear Pink night when all spectators and contestants are encouraged to wear pink. A portion of the proceeds to be donated to cancer research and treatment efforts.

Each night’s rodeo will feature all of the standard rodeo events from calf roping to bull riding, plus a 4-H and FFA calf scramble open to eligible students. The rodeo is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association and consistently draws the top contestants from around the country.

The Frontier Rodeo Company based in Winnie, Texas and Freedom, Oklahoma will furnish rodeo livestock. Featured performers will include barrel man, Robbie Hodges, and bullfighters, Chuck Swisher and Cody Emerson. Terry Starnes will once again handle the microphone duties and describe all of the action.

Glen Rose also offers a number of overnight opportunities ranging from upscale lodges to a variety of bed and breakfasts, cabins, cottages, campgrounds, hotels, and RV parks.
