EXHIBITIONS

OPENING Home and Away: The Printed Works of Ruth Asawa September 19, 2014–January 19, 2015 The Norton Simon Museum presents Home and Away features, an exhibition of

printed works by Ruth Asawa while in residence at the Tamarind Lithography

Workshop in Los Angeles in 1965. At the Workshop, Asawa produced intimate

portraits of her family and friends back home as well as studies of flowers and

chairs. The works chosen for Home and Away include intimate portraits of her

children and father as well as a suite of twelve floral prints. Home and Away represents the first time an

exhibition has been dedicated to the subject of her family portraits and floral studies.

CLOSING Face It: The Photographic Portrait Through August 11, 2014 The Norton Simon Museum presents Face It: The Photographic Portrait, an

exhibition of portraits by some of the most important artist-photographers of the

20th century, including Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Diane Arbus, Imogen

Cunningham, Judy Dater and Minor White. Drawn from the Museum’s

significant collection of photographs, assembled largely in the late 1960s and

early 1970s, the 20 works on view feature a range of subjects, from the young to

the old, in varying poses and expressions, but all invoking us to look closer.

In the Land of Snow: Buddhist Art of the Himalayas Through August 25, 2014 In the Land of Snow is the Museum’s first large-scale exhibition of Himalayan

Buddhist art, bringing together exceptional Indian, Nepalese and Tibetan

Buddhist sculptures along with significant thangka (flat field) paintings from

throughout the Himalayan region. A highlight of the exhibition is the display of

a monumental thangka, measuring over 20 feet in height, depicting the Buddha

of the Future, Maitreya, flanked by the Eighth Dalai Lama, Jamphel Gyatso, and

his tutor, Yongtsin Yeshe Gyaltsen. Constructed of appliqued silk and presented

on an elaborate mounting, the thangka was commissioned by the Eighth Dalai

Lama for the benefit of his tutor and for the posterity of the Buddhist faith. This is only the second time that

this extraordinary painting has been on view at the Museum.

EVENTS

Unless otherwise stated, all events are free with Museum admission, no reservations are necessary and

seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission is $12 for adults, $9 for seniors and FREE for

members, students with ID and everyone age 18 and under. The first Friday of every month from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. is FREE for all visitors. For select lectures and performances, stickering for ensured seating starts one hour prior to the event. Members enjoy early seating.

Color and Sound: Vasily Kandinsky and the Music of His Time Dr. Polli Chambers-Salazar Friday, July 11, 7:00–8:00 p.m. Vasily Kandinsky spoke of seeking significance in his paintings through the

musical and emotional qualities that he ascribed to color: “Color is the

medium by which one can affect the soul directly . . . the soul is a piano with

many strings, and the artist is the hand that, by striking one particular key,

causes the human soul to vibrate.” Kandinsky was progressing toward total

abstraction while many of his fellow painters were still working figuratively.

At the same time, such composers as Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg were defying

conventional tonality while most of their contemporaries were till composing in the late Romantic

tradition. Many connections may be found between the visual and musical arts of the early 20th

century. Pianist Polli Chambers-Salazar presents a program focusing on the works of Vasily Kandinsky

and on piano works from the same time period.

Presented in the Museum’s theater.

Kalyan Samahar: Collection of Evening Ragas Based on Kalyan Thaat Sandip Ghosh Friday, August 15, 7:00–8:00 p.m. Enjoy a performance by noted North Indian classical singer Sandip

Ghosh, accompanied by Jyoti Prakas on tabla and Narendra Kulkarni on

harmonium. A thaat is a musical mode considered to be the basis for the

system of organizing and classifying ragas (melodies) in North Indian

classical music. This concert features a collection of evening ragas based on Kalyan (blessing) thaat;

these convey a mood of benevolence and devotion

Presented in the Museum’s theater.

Norton Simon Museum 3 Summer 2014

From Beethoven’s Structure to the Fluid and Cyclical World of Debussy

California String Quartet Friday, August 22, 7:00–8:00 p.m. The California String Quartet returns to perform two starkly

contrasting pieces from the 19th century—Beethoven’s String Quartet

No. 6 in B flat major, Op. 18, and Debussy’s String Quartet in G minor,

Op. 10. The evening begins with the structure and mastery of

Beethoven, then separates from classical harmony with Debussy’s cyclical structure, sensuality and

impressionistic tonal shifts.

Presented in the Museum’s 20th-century gallery.

Musical Wonder of Nature

Robert Thies Friday, September 12, 7:00–8:00 p.m. Pianist Robert Thies explores the relationship between the composer and the

splendor of nature, as seen in art and life. Featured pieces by Debussy, Ravel,

Schubert and Liszt take inspiration from nature, as imagined by some of the

most creative minds in music.

Presented in the Museum’s theater.

Stretching the Musical Horizon of Jazz from Funk to Bossa Nova John Beasley Friday, September 19, 7:00–8:00 p.m. Jazz, America’s indigenous art form, is a metaphor for change and

innovation, as shown by its evolution of styles from ragtime to swing,

bebop, avant-garde, Latin and contemporary jazz. Pianist and music

director for the Thelonious Monk Institute John Beasley performs

works to showcase original, propulsive, multilayered compositions from funk, soul, bop, bossa nova and

nuevo tango to illustrate how he has stretched the musical horizon of jazz.

Presented in the Museum’s theater.

Norton Simon Museum 4 Summer 2014

Sculpture Garden Friday, July 18, 6:00—8:00 p.m. Join in an enchanting summer evening exploring the Norton Simon

Museum’s beautiful Sculpture Garden. For this Night in Focus, the museum

experience is taken outdoors, with curator-led tours of celebrated 20th-

century bronze sculptures, from Maillol to Moore, and educator-led drawing

sessions en plein air. Or simply relax and take in the scenery, enjoying live

music and a special champagne menu for sale in the Café.

The Norton Simon Museum Presents... From Baroque to Braque

Every Wednesday in July, enjoy a tour of the Museum’s renowned French art collection, followed by a

film exploring the eras, ideas and styles discussed. Tours begin at 1:00 p.m. and are limited to 25

participants; please register at the information desk 15 minutes prior to tour. Films begin at 2:00 p.m.

and are held in the Theater. No reservations are needed.

Wednesday, July 2 Tour: Profoundly Baroque

1:00–2:00 p.m. Film: Molière (2007), PG-13 Directed by Laurent Tirard 2:00–4:00 p.m. In 1645, the French playwright and actor Jean-Baptiste Poquelin—better

known as Molière— mysteriously disappeared for several weeks. This

lavish comedy drama imagines a scenario that could explain what may

have happened to him. Molière (Romain Duris) is touring the French

countryside with his traveling theater company but has yet to be

recognized as one of the Continent’s great authors (or achieve significant

financial success). When the wealthy Monsieur Jourdain (Fabrice Luchini)

offers to cover his debt, so that Molière’s theatrical talents might help

Jourdain win the heart of a certain widowed marquise, hilarity ensues.

In French, with English subtitles.

Norton Simon Museum 5 Summer 2014

Wednesday, July 9 Tour: The Age of Enlightenment: Art of the 18th Century 1:00–2:00 p.m.

Film: Marie Antoinette (1938), NR Directed by W. S. Van Dyke and Julien Duvivier 2:00–4:30 p.m. Norma Shearer plays Marie Antoinette, the young Austrian princess

imported to marry the man who would become Louis XVI of France. With an

opulence exemplifying Hollywood’s Golden Era at its most glamorous, the

grandeur and revolutionary fervor of 18th-century France sweeps across the

screen. Tyrone Power plays Antoinette’s ardent beloved, John Barrymore is

crafty Louis XV and Robert Morley debuts as timid Louis XVI. From ballroom

to boudoir to guillotine, Marie Antoinette is a regal romantic adventure.

Wednesday, July 16 Tour: A New Vision: Art of the 19th Century 1:00–2:00 p.m.

Film: French Cancan (1955), NR Directed by Jean Renoir 2:00–3:45 p.m. Nineteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in Jean Renoir’s exhilarating

tale of the opening of the world-renowned Moulin Rouge. Jean Gabin plays

the wily impresario Danglard, who makes the cancan all the rage while

juggling the love of two beautiful women—an Egyptian belly dancer and a

naive working girl turned cancan star. This celebration of life, art and the City

of Light (with a cameo by Edith Piaf) is a Technicolor tour de force by a

master of modern cinema.

In French, with English subtitles.

Wednesday, July 23 Tour: The School of Paris 1900–1940: Émigré and French Artists in the City of Light 1:00–2:00 p.m. Film: Midnight in Paris (2011), PG-13 Directed by Woody Allen 2:00–3:35 p.m. Woody Allen’s beloved romantic comedy stars Owen Wilson as Gil, a

screenwriter on vacation with his fiancée (Rachel McAdams) and her family in

Paris. One night, Gil steps from modern day into the Paris of the 1920s,

enjoying the company of celebrated writers and artists. Night after night he

returns to the past, and slowly realizes that a different fate awaits him. Marion Cotillard, Michael Sheen,

Kathy Bates and Carla Bruni costar.

Wednesday, July 30 Tour: A Family Tour of the Art of France 1:00–2:00 p.m. Film: The AristoCats (1970), G Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman 2:00–3:20 p.m. In the heart of Paris, a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate

to Duchess, her high-society cat, and her three little kittens. Laughs and

adventure ensue as the greedy, bumbling butler pulls off the ultimate catnap

caper. Now it’s up to the rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O'Malley, and

his band of swingin’ jazz cats to save the day.

ADULT DRAWING CLASSES

Considering the Figure

Artist Michael Horowitz leads classes emphasizing figure drawing. Using the Museum’s collections and

figure models as inspiration, the classes explore the figure’s basic construction and anatomy as well as

its use as a means of self-expression.

The Building Blocks of the Figure Friday, August 8, 6:00–8:00 p.m. Using simple shapes and measuring the proportions of the body,

students are introduced to the basic layout of the figure by

drawing from examples in the Museum’s Asian galleries. This class

emphasizes gesture drawing and analyzing the silhouette of a

figure.

The Torso as Central Force

Friday, August 15, 6:00–8:00 p.m. Why have artists throughout the centuries found the torso to be

one of the most expressive parts of the human body? By studying

the torso in works by Rubens and Rodin, together with that of a live model, students learn to

understand the source of the momentum or spirit of a pose that makes the figure so expressive.

Drawing the Figure in Pen Friday, August 22, 6:00–8:00 p.m. This class focuses on interpreting the figure in pen with both quick and long sketches, along

with instruction in using crosshatching techniques to give the figure shading and form. Students

study the pattern of light and dark, or chiaroscuro, in paintings by Daumier,

and then embark on their own interpretations of the lighted figure while

drawing from the sculptures of Degas.

Interpreting the Figure Friday, August 29, 6:00–8:00 p.m. In this class, students explore their personal style while drawing from a live

model. Using the works of Moore and Matisse as inspiration, students

experiment with the use of scale and cropping and the placement of the

figure in a composition.

All levels of experience are welcome. Each class is $20 ($16 for members) and is limited to 20

participants. Materials are provided. Advance registration is required and can be made at

nortonsimon.org/events.

ART-MAKING WORKSHOP

Stitching Buddhas: An Introduction to Tibetan Appliqué

Sunday, August 24, 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. Join thangka artist Leslie Rinchen-Wongmo for an introduction to the

Tibetan art of appliqué. This workshop gives participants direct experience

with the techniques involved in creating the monumental appliqué thangka

at the center of the exhibition In the Land of Snow: Buddhist Art of the

Himalayas. Gain deep appreciation for the thangka’s intricacy and discover

the mind-steadying potential of needle and thread.

The fee of $30 ($24 for members) includes all materials and admission to

the galleries on the day of class. Space is limited. Advance registration is required and can be made at

nortonsimon.org/events.

IN STUDIO

The Art of Tapestry Artist’s Demonstration by Marta Rogoyska Thursdays, July 24, July 31, and August 7, 2:00–4:00 p.m. Tapestry has been called “the elegant art.” In a true tapestry, the

design is woven during the making, so that it forms an integral part

of the textile. Join artist/weaver Marta Rogoyska and watch her

demonstrate the making of tapestry with its mosaic of pieces of

color made up of dyed threads. Questions and comments are encouraged.

Presented in the Museum’s northeast wing. No registration is required.

Norton Simon Museum 8 Summer 2014

Join a Museum educator on select Sunday afternoons for a dynamic discussion of art.

Sacred Geometry: The Search for Perfection

Sunday, July 13, 1:00–2:00 p.m. Learn about the geometric principles that have been used by artists

throughout the world to create sacred and secular art. Artists who

created Buddhist imagery relied on manuals that specified the proper

proportions, ensuring that an image of the Buddha was equal in size to

the Buddha himself. Similarly, artists working during the Renaissance

utilized mathematical ratios, dating to antiquity, to inform their

compositions.

The Role of Still Life in Modern Art Sunday, August 17, 1:00–2:00 p.m.

Starting in the mid-19th century, the still life gradually began relinquishing its strong allegorical

associations, with which it had been conventionally aligned throughout the previous centuries. In the

hands of Courbet, Manet, Cézanne, Gauguin and Braque, among others, the still life was transformed

into an anti-narrative exercise, if not a “play” in form, as artists sought to call onlookers’ attention to the

true condition of painting: “the flat surface, the shape of the support, the properties of pigment.”

El Greco: The Link to Expressionism and Cubism

Sunday, September 14, 1:00–2:00 p.m.

Join us to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the death of the great Spanish master El Greco.

Sharing some traits with Italian Mannerism, his flame-like forms, electric colors and intense emotion

were deeply personal. All but forgotten by the 18th century, El Greco’s distinctive style was revived in

the 19th and 20th centuries. Look at and discuss works by Manet, Cézanne and Picasso through the

lens of El Greco.
