Ars longa, vita brevis is a Latin translation of an aphorism coming originally from Greek. The Latin quote is often rendered in English as Art is long, life is short.



Ars longa: Rembrandt catalog receives three honors


Museum exhibitions have lives lasting well past their public display – in artistic inspiration, viewers’ memories, online portals and print catalogs.
David O. Brown/Johnson Museum of Art
One such catalog, produced by the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art in 2017, is now a multiple award winner. “Lines of Inquiry: Learning from Rembrandt’s Etchings” most recently was honored with the College Art Association’s 2019 Alfred H. Barr Jr. Book Award for Smaller Museums, Libraries, Collections and Exhibitions. Award winners will be presented during the CAA’s 107th Annual Conference, Feb. 13-16 in New York City.
The catalog also received the 2018 Henry Allen Moe Prize for Catalogs of Distinction in the Arts, and an honorable mention for the 2018 International Fine Print Dealers Association Book Award.
Positioning Rembrandt van Rijn’s art and artistic practice as inspirational resources for research and teaching, “Lines of Inquiry” ran Sept. 23 to Dec. 17, 2017, at the Johnson Museum, and Feb. 6 to May 13, 2018, at the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, co-organizer of the exhibit. It was co-curated by Andrew C. Weislogel, the Seymour R. Askin Jr. ’47 Curator of Earlier European and American Art at the Johnson Museum; and Andaleeb Badiee Banta, then at Oberlin.
The catalog includes articles by the curators and faculty researchers, including Weislogel and C. Richard Johnson Jr. (professor of electrical and computer engineering and a Jacobs Fellow in Computational Arts and Humanities at Cornell Tech) on collaborations with students on the related Watermark Identification in Rembrandt’s Etchings (WIRE) Project at Cornell.

🖼 The year 2019 marks the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt van Rijn's death. The Dutchman was not only a great painter but also a master of self presentation. If there had been selfies at that time, his self portraits probably would have gotten the most likes:

Morgan Library & Museum



紐約私房景點！大富翁的華麗圖書館

文 / 阿甘      2019-01-25

紐約私房景點！大富翁的華麗圖書館
圖片提供：阿甘
紐約有個比較不太常有人提到的景點，但是非常值得一訪，就是這位於曼哈頓中城區的 Morgan Library & Museum 摩根圖書館與博物館。
這裡是入口大廳。成人票 $22美金，但星期五晚上免費，想省錢的人一定要記得！也別忘記星期一不開放，否則白跑一趟。
穿過大廳後來到一個摩登中庭，充滿著美妙的樂聲。中庭叫做 Gilbert Court，2006年完成，由義大利建築師設計。 這個室內中庭的主要功能是把3棟老建築相連起來。
這是其中一棟: Mr. Morgan's Library and Study，建於 1902-1906 年之間。Mr. Morgan 是誰呢？就是著名銀行家 JP Morgan。這名字聽起來很熟悉？ JP Morgan Chase 摩根大通 2011 年起成為美國最大的金融服務機構，是 JP Morgan 銀行多年來跟其他銀行併購後的結果。
華麗的圓頂壁畫靈感來自於與達文西齊名的義大利名畫家拉斐爾。
圓頂房間有3個門，分別通往圖書室，個人書房和圖書管理員辦公室
JP Morgan 經常在個人書房中和朋友、收藏家和學者見面。
牆上畫像中穿紅袍的就是 JP Morgan。JP Morgan 於1837年出生，很早就開始在金融業打滾，20 世紀初期美國許多知名企業的成立和併購都可以看到他居中的身影，像是通用電子和 AT&T。
這座庫房收藏稀有書籍。
圖書室是最大的重點！讓人驚豔不已。雖然不大，精雕細琢的程度不輸國家級博物館。
果然是大富豪的氣魄，有錢沒什麼辦不到的。
JP Morgan收藏的珍貴手稿。
四周牆上的書籍都是 JP Morgan 的私人收藏，他於 1913 年過世。他兒子根據他的遺願，將精采的圖書館變身博物館開放給大眾參觀。
中庭連接的另一棟建築於 1928 年完工，現在是藝廊。上圖是展廳中間的 Marble Room。
如果你逛膩了千篇一律的觀光景點，不妨來 Morgan Library & Museum  瞧瞧，絕對不會失望。

Fino al 1951 la loro sarà un frequentazione intensa, proseguita poi per lettera fino alla morte di Le Corbusier nel 1965".

The Nivola Museum in Orani (Sardinia), view of the park
Costantino (Tino)[1] Nivola (July 5, 1911 – May 6, 1988) was an Italian-American sculptor, architectural sculptor, muralist, designer and teacher.
Born in Sardinia, Nivola had already started his career when he fled Fascism for Paris in 1938, going to the U.S. in 1939. His major sculptural work is abstract, large-scale architectural reliefs in concrete, made in his own sandcasting and cement carving processes. These were erected in and on American buildings between the late 1950s and early 1970s. Creatively busy and while remaining active in Italy, Nivola also taught at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Columbia University, UC Berkeley, and elsewhere.
Nivola Museum (ph. Armin Linke)
The Nivola Museum in Orani, Sardinia is dedicated to his life and sculpture, and hosts the largest collection of his smaller scale work.[2]

Supported by small exhibitions and a progression of jobs in factories,[8] for Bonwit Teller, and for architectural magazines, the Nivolas bought a modest property in Springs, East Hampton, Long Island. It would expand to 35 acres. Their garden landscape, a series of outdoor rooms and a roofless solarium, was co-designed by the Nivolas and architect Bernard Rudofsky; in 1950 Le Corbusier impulsively painted murals on two walls of their kitchen. On the nearby beach Nivola developed the principle of his distinctive concrete sandcasting technique while playing with his children. They sculpted wet sand, then poured a slurry of plaster or concrete into the form.
In 1951 Nivola was one of the artists shown in the pivotal 9th Street Art Exhibition, hung by Leo Castelli.
