THE WORD OF ARTIST:
Cristina Acosta
"Sept. 2007 Santa Fe Chicken Rice & A Mermaid!"
Dear Friends,
I love the last few weeks of summer. My
birthday is this month on the Autumnal Equinox (the 23rd).
It's my personal new years day, a time I take to reflect on
my projects and plans being sure to include time for fun
with my family and friends. The legendary artist, Leonardo
da Vinci said, "Every now and then go
away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to
your work your judgment will be surer."
Testing dessert recipes has a place on my list of fun things
to do, but its time for a change before I get too plump.
This month my recipe for you is the
little-black-Patagonia-sports-dress of dinners, a quick
one-skillet dinner I named
Santa Fe Chicken Rice.
Its quick, easy and depending upon how you garnish it,
suitable for camping, school nights or a casual dinner
party.
Delicious fresh food that is artistic and
inventive inspires my cooking. A wonderful chef, my friend
TR McCrystal recently commissioned a painting of his wife
and children. It's titled,
Jen's Garden.
The painting illustrates the rich and happy life they've
created, and it's also the name of their restaurant, Jen's
Garden, in Sisters, Oregon. Stop by for a wonderful meal and
check out the painting while you're there.
You can see a couple more of my paintings beginning the 21st
at Onda Arte Latina Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Allan
Oliver, the owner and curator is exhibiting a retrospective
of five years of gallery artists. Included is my painting,
La Sirena / The Mermaid.
The image is inspired by my summer spent learning to surf.
The mermaid is strong and iconic and represents the
beautiful changeable face of the sea. Completed this month,
she also reflects the reality of seasonal changes both in my
life and the larger world.

ART NEWS
FROM ART-OF-THE-DAY.COM:
 |
BASEL – The exhibition that
celebrates the first decade of the Beyeler foundation
strongly resembles the one dedicated to Ambroise Vollard at
the musée d’Orsay. In both cases, the aim is to present an
anthology of works that went through the shop of the famous
art dealer during his life. While the idea seemed quite
natural when it concerned Vollard who died in 1939, it is
not the case regarding Ernst Beyeler(and his wife), who are
still alive. In this case, one tends to show the «secret
garden», in other words the art dealer's personal collection
(as is under way in Berlin for Jan Krugier). But that could
never do justice to the multitude of works of art that
actually went through this influential gallery. When
speaking of Beyeler, who has been active for 60 years at the
same address (9 Bäumleingasse in Basel), the astronomical
figure of 16 000 has been given. One of course does not see
all of them, but a significant choice is exhibited, from
Braque to Dubuffet, from Giacometti to Gris, from Kandinsky
to Mondrian, Picasso and Elsworth Kelly.
L’Autre Collection,
hommage à Hildy et Ernst Beyeler
at the Beyeler foundation, until 6 January 2008.

To be
Pollock or not to be?
BOSTON - We heard so much
about them, now we will finally see them! "Them", of
course, means the 32 unknown works by Pollock, which
Alex Matter, the son of the painter's intimate friends,
pulled out of his hat -or attic- in 2002. Ever since
this has been a touchy subject and their authenticity
has even been disputed by the laboratory analysis at
Harvard. But not everyone is convinced and now the
public is being asked for its opinion on 25 of the
paintings. It is very fashionable these days to be your
own expert! Obviously there are some financial
considerations involved: any Pollock is very expensive
and he set the record for a private transaction (around
140 million $) when his n°5, 1948 belonging to
David Geffen, the Hollywood tycoon was sold last
autumn. This is surely a wonderful media coup for the
museum that will show them. Who has ever heard of the
McMullen Museum of Art, in Boston? The real theme of the
exhibition, hidden by all this hullabaloo, is the
relationship between Pollock and the photographer
Herbert Matter, who it seems played a crucial role in
the genesis of the «dripping» technique.
Pollock matters,
at the Mc Mullen Museum, from 2 September to 9 December
2007
In
Jason's footsteps
PARIS – Just like the
Pharaohs or the Incas before them, all treasures are one
of the public's favorite themes. They allow for very
interesting discoveries: following the Scythian, Thrace
and Bulgarian gold treasures, here is one that is not as
well known, that comes from Georgia. This land on the
shores of the Black Sea was known in the antiquity as
Colchis, home to the Golden Fleece, which aroused the
passion of Jason and the Argonauts. While the site of
Vani, on an affluent of the Riomi (the former Phase),
has been searched for over a century, the pieces shown
come from the more recent discoveries in 2004, of tombs
with a rich funerary furnishings. Angular jewels with
voluted pendants, signet rings, bracelets and necklaces,
pearls in the shape of melons and hairpins with stags
show the virtuosity of the crafstmen who worked gold,
from the Vth to the Ist century B.C.
L’Or de la Toison
d’or at the
Monnaie de Paris, from 11 September to 7 November 2007
