It is my hope that my students view his works to see the great body of work that he has cultivated over his life. i am a fan of his work and only hope I have the opportunity to view his work once again.</p> <p>His current exhibtion, “Seven Works” at the <a href="http://www.portlandartmuseum.org/gerhardrichter">Portland Museum</a> is closing Spetember 9th 2012.</p> <p>An important group of paintings from the Gray Series by this post-World War II German artist, Richter positions painting as a formally reductive and sensuously rich experience through these groundbreaking works from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. — Curated by Bruce Guenther, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.</p> <p>“I blur things to make everything equally important and equally unimportant. I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information.” Gerhard Richter</p> <p><a title="Gerhard Richter Official Site" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/</a></p> <p><a title="250 watercolors by Gerhard Richter" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/watercolours/detail.php?13859" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/watercolours/detail.php?13859</a></p> <p>Richter in the 21st Century: Real and Tangible Accomplishments</p> <p>“Well, after this century of grand proclamations and terrible illusions, I hope for an era in which real and tangible accomplishments, and not grand proclamations, are the only things that count.”1 At the turn of the millennium, Richter was increasingly focussed on his Abstract Paintings, with three paintings of his young son Moritz (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?title=moritz&number=863" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 863/1-3</a>) notable exceptions to this trend. Transparency, translucency, opacity and reflection were still clearly subjects with which the artist was engaging at this time, almost a decade since his last concerted period to have addressed them. Eight Grey in 2001 (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10510" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 874/1-8</a>) heralded a number of works the following year that brought glass to centre stage. Works such as Pane of Glass (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10512" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 876-1</a>), 4 Standing Panes (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10513" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 877-1</a>) and 7 Standing Panes (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?10636" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 879-1</a>) demonstrated an interest in pushing wall-based works into the realm of the sculptural.</p> <p>2002 was also a significant year for Richter due to his major retrospective exhibition Forty Years of Painting at MoMA in New York. Curated by Robert Storr, the exhibition featured 190 works, and accompanied by a seminal catalogue, was one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of Richter’s works of his career. It was also the exhibition that confirmed Richter’s status as one of the leading artists in the world, and was described by Storr in his introduction as “long overdue” in the United States.2</p> <p>In 2003 Richter embarked on a small but substantially sized series of paintings entitledSilicate (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=885" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 885/1-4</a>) inspired by an article in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung from 12 March 2003 about the shimmering qualities of certain insects’ bodies.3 The resulting four large paintings are perhaps the most overtly biological of the abstract works in Richter’s oeuvre, suggestive of cell formations and genetic sequences seen under the microscope.</p> <p>Richter’s next significant – and in some ways unexpected – departure came in the form of a single work depicting the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York of September 11, 2001, entitled simply September (2005; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?13954" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 891-5</a>). In a 2010 publication about the painting written by Robert Storr, the author asks: “what is the meaning of a single, small, almost abstract depiction of one of the most consequential occurrences in recent world history?”4 Depicting the explosion of United Airlines Flight 175 as it hit the South Tower, Storr’s essay describes how Richter’s painting raises and encapsulates many of the complex geo-political issues that the attacks provoked, as well as the horrendous realities of those whose lives were taken away or affected by them. The painting, whilst it carries an overwhelming sense of the enormity and significance of the event, avoids spectacularizing it, instead evoking an existential numbness, sadness and incomprehension. Described by critic Bryan Appleyard for The Sunday Times as “the closest you will get to a great 9/11 work” he goes on to assert that “It reclaims the day, leaving it exactly where it was, exactly when it happened.”5</p> <p>The following year, 2006, saw the creation of one of Richter’s most significant cycles of Abstract Paintings, Cage (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=897" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 897/1-6</a>). These six, large-scale canvases, described by Sir Nicholas Serota as “magisterial”6 were named after the American avant-garde composer John Cage, whom Richter had never personally met but whose work had long held a resonance with his own. In a conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist – one of the leading interlocutors of Richter’s work since the 1990s – Richter said that he had been listening to the music of Cage whilst working in his studio at the time.7 In an interview with Jan Thorn-Prikker in 2004, Richter stated, “That’s roughly how Cage put it: ‘I have nothing to say and I am saying it.’ I have always thought that was a wonderful quote. It’s the best chance we have to be able to keep on going.”8 The concluding line in Robert Storr’s 2009 publication devoted to the series,Cage – Six Paintings by Gerhard Richter, references the Cage quote, stating: “In his own idiom, and for his own reasons, [the Cage paintings] are Richter’s beautiful way of saying nothing, and as such, of once more declaring his uncompromising independence.”9 Having been shown alongside the Bach paintings at the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, in 2008, the Cagepaintings have since been exhibited at Tate Modern, London.</p> <p>In 2007 Richter completed arguably his largest commission – a major stained glass window for Cologne Cathedral to replace a window that had been destroyed during World War II. He had been invited to undertake the commission back in 2002 and had devoted considerable time to developing and completing the project in the following five years. In notes prepared for a conference in July 2006, Richter wrote:</p> In early 2002, the master builder of the cathedral suggested that I develop a glass design for the southern window. The guiding principle was the representation of six martyrs, in keeping with the period. I was, of course, very touched to have such an honour bestowed upon me, but I soon realised I wasn’t at all qualified for the task. After several unsuccessful attempts to get to grips with the subject, and prepared to finally concede failure, I happened upon a large representation of my painting with 4096 colours. I put the template for the design of the window over it and saw that this was the only possibility.10 <p> </p> <p>Several months later, Richter began work on a model with test patterns and a number of design concepts. He settled on a design in which 11,000 mouth-blown squares measuring 94 x 94 millimetres each were to be used, with half of these selected randomly by a computer programme, and the other half a mirror image of these. As well as an evolution of his Colour Charts and Colour works of the 1960s and 70s, the Cologne Cathedral window (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?14890" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 900</a>) was also informed by his Glass Window, 625 Colours of 1989 (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?6667" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 703</a>). The resulting window is a remarkable accomplishment, both real and tangible, and has been documented extensively in a film by Corinna Belz released in 2007.11 </p> <p>In 2008, Richter embarked on a significant body of colourful abstract work entitled Sinbad(<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/paintings/sinbad/intro.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 905</a>). Comprising 100 small paintings in enamel on the back of glass, Sinbad is the first series of works by Richter to allude to The Book of One Thousand and One Nights (Arabian Nights) and was followed in 2010 by Aladdin (<a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/detail.php?14901" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 913</a>). That the artist was clearly thinking a lot about the Middle East is illustrated by the related series Baghdad (2010; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=914" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 914</a>) andAbdallah (2010; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=917" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 917</a>). Taking up some of the brighter palettes he had explored in the abstract works of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Sinbad is a rich, joyous journey through colour and abstraction.</p> <p>One of Richter’s most recent new avenues for the exploration of abstraction and colour takes the form of stripes. A work entitled Strip (2011; <a title="" href="http://www.gerhard-richter.com/art/search/?number=920" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CR: 920</a>), consisting of a digital print on paper mounted between aluminium and Perspex, presents dozens of long horizontal stripes of varying thickness spanning a width of three metres. It is a tantalising taste of what is still to come from one of the world’s most prolific and respected living artists, whose insatiable desire to explore the languages and possibilities of painting and image-making continues to keep him at the forefront of developments in contemporary art today. To coincide with Richter’s 80th birthday, in October 2011 a major retrospective entitled Gerhard Richter: Panoramaopened at Tate Modern, London, before touring to the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in 2012.</p> <p>Prepared for www.gerhard-richter.com by Matt Price with assistance from Carina Krause, 2010-11.

Adobe released a study this past spring on how creativity is suffering. The results showed that Americans think their lack of time, money and tools are barriers to creativity. Rightly so, the American system is slowly grinding the gears of conceptual and critical thought to a halt by adopting an ideology that only looks at the productivity of test scores in the educational system. This has resulted in massive cuts to teachers jobs, and is disproportionately cutting History, Physical Education and both the Visual and Performing Arts. The arts represents at least 37% of the entire population who are visual thinkers and problem solvers. This is why I am working on the Born to Draw Art Program because it is a way to bring drawing and the arts to children and adults, to get people to use their hands and minds once again. <p>See the <a href="http://www.borntodraw.com">www.borntodraw.com</a> website Let me know how we might be able to create a space where we can roll out the Born to Draw® art curriculum.</p> Universal Concern that Creativity is Suffering at Work and School <p><a href="http://www.elaineciminostudios.com/uncategorized/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/attachment/lack-of-tools-barrier-to-creativity/" rel="attachment wp-att-2531"></a>SAN JOSE, Calif. — April 23, 2012 — New research reveals a global creativity gap in five of the world’s largest economies, according to the Adobe® (Nasdaq:ADBE) <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Global_Benchmark_Study.pdf">State of Create global benchmark study</a>. The research shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of respondents feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority – only 1 in 4 people – believe they are living up to their own creative potential.</p> <p>Interviews of 5,000 adults across the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan expose surprising attitudes and beliefs about creativity, providing new insights into the role of creativity in business, education and society overall.</p> <p>Workplace Creativity Gap The study reveals a workplace creativity gap, where 75% of respondents said they are under growing pressure to be productive rather than creative, despite the fact that they are increasingly expected to think creatively on the job. Across all of the countries surveyed, people said they spend only 25% of their time at work creating. Lack of time is seen as the biggest barrier to creativity (47% globally, 52% in United States).</p> <p>Education Concerns More than half of those surveyed feel that creativity is being stifled by their education systems, and many believe creativity is taken for granted (52% globally, 70% in the United States).</p> <p>“One of the myths of creativity is that very few people are really creative,” said Sir Ken Robinson, Ph.D., an internationally recognized leader in the development of education, creativity and innovation. “The truth is that everyone has great capacities but not everyone develops them. One of the problems is that too often our educational systems don’t enable students to develop their natural creative powers. Instead, they promote uniformity and standardization. The result is that we’re draining people of their creative possibilities and, as this study reveals, producing a workforce that’s conditioned to prioritize conformity over creativity.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.elaineciminostudios.com/uncategorized/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/attachment/adobe-study-creativity-4-12pg-8/" rel="attachment wp-att-2532"></a>Creativity Rating: Japan Ranked Most Creative The study sheds light on different cultural attitudes toward creativity. Japan ranked highest in the global tally as the most creative country while, conversely, Japanese citizens largely do not see themselves as creative. Globally, Tokyo ranked as the most creative city – except among Japanese – with New York ranking second. Outside of Japan, national pride in each country is evident, with residents of the United Kingdom, Germany and France ranking their own countries and cities next in line after Japan.</p> <p>The United States ranked globally as the second most creative nation among the countries surveyed, except in the eyes of Americans, who see themselves as the most creative. Yet Americans also expressed the greatest sense of urgency and concern that they are not living up to their creative potential (United States at 82%, vs. the lowest level of concern in Germany at 64%).</p> <p>Generational and gender differences are marginal, reinforcing the idea that everyone has the potential to create. Women ranked only slightly higher than men when asked if they self-identified as creative and whether they were tapping their own creative potential.</p> <p>Four in 10 people believe that they do not have the tools or access to tools to create. Creative tools are perceived as the biggest driver to increase creativity (65% globally, 76% in the United States), and technology is recognized for its ability to help individuals overcome creative limitations (58% globally, 60% in the United States) and provide inspiration (53% globally, 62% in the United States).</p> <p>About the Adobe State of Create Study The study was produced by research firm StrategyOne and conducted as an online survey among a total of 5,000 adults, 18 years or older, 1,000 each in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan. Interviewing took place from March 30 to April 9. The data set for each country is nationally representative of the population of that country.</p> <p>For more information on the research results visit <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Global_Benchmark_Study.pdf">Adobe State of Create Global Benchmark Study</a> and <a href="http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pdfs/Adobe_State_of_Create_Infographic.pdf">Adobe State of Create Infographic</a>.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/universal-concern-that-creativity-is-suffering-at-work-and-school/">Universal Concern that Creativity is Suffering at Work and School</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Highland Senior Center Art Classes</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/highland-senior-center-art-classes/</link> <comments>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/highland-senior-center-art-classes/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:57:51 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Announcements]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Albuquerque art Classes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art lessons]]></category> <category><![CDATA[creativity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Senior Center art classes Albuquerque]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Studio Art]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=696</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Elaine Cimino Studios Registration for Art Classes July through December 2012 at the Highland Senior Center Please check a class and spark your creativity o Learn Watercolor –July 7 – August 25th for 8 wks Cost: $75.00 o Pastel Workshop – September 22– October 27 for 6wks Cost: $65.00 o Drawing for the Holidays and […]</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/highland-senior-center-art-classes/">Highland Senior Center Art Classes</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elaine Cimino Studios</p> <p style="text-align: left;" align="center">Registration for Art Classes July through December 2012</p> <p style="text-align: left;" align="center">at the Highland Senior Center</p> <p><a href="http://www.elaineciminostudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/spirit_dancer_gp300px.jpg"></a>Please check a class and spark your creativity</p> o Learn Watercolor –July 7 – August 25th for 8 wks Cost: $75.00 o Pastel Workshop – September 22– October 27 for 6wks Cost: $65.00 o Drawing for the Holidays and Special Occasions- November 3 -December 15 for 6 wks Cost: $65.00 <p>All Classes will be on Saturday mornings 10am – Noon</p> <p> </p> <p>Method of payment</p> <p>Cash, Check: Make payable to: Elaine Cimino Studios</p> <p>Use SASE available at Senior Center Office</p> <p>or use PayPal http://www.paypal.com for online payment</p> <p> </p> <p>Instructions for PayPal, Go to PayPal website.</p> <p>Click “send money” Button You will send to my email address</p> <p>Please contact Elaine Cimino through this website</p> <p>Thanks you for your interest!</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/highland-senior-center-art-classes/">Highland Senior Center Art Classes</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.elaineciminostudios.com">Elaine Cimino Studios</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/highland-senior-center-art-classes/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>5939</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Painting for the SawMill Land Trust Art Auction</title> <link>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/painting-for-the-sawmill-land-trust-art-auction/</link> <comments>https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/painting-for-the-sawmill-land-trust-art-auction/#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 03 Mar 2012 23:41:14 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Announcements]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Artwork]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Giclee Prints]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Paintings]]></category> <category><![CDATA[art education]]></category> <category><![CDATA[artwork]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Elaine Cimino]]></category> <category><![CDATA[painting]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Studio Art]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.elaineciminostudios.com/?p=624</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>  This is the painting I just finished today called, “When life serves you lemons…” I am working on it in a corner of my kitchen.
