Winterthur Museum+Country Estate
Route 52
(5105 Kennett Pike)
Winterthur DE 19735 http://www.winterthur.org
Winterthur’s 1,000-acre country estate encompasses rolling hills, streams, meadows, and forests. Founder Henry Francis du Pont (1880-1969) developed an appreciation of nature as a boy that served as the basis for his life’s work in the garden. He selected the choicest plants from around the world to enhance the natural setting, arranging them in lyrical color combinations and carefully orchestrating a succession of bloom from late January to November. Du Pont translated his love of the land into a unified work of art that embodies a romantic vision of nature’s beauty

Edvard Munch: Master Prints
July 31–October 31, 2010
Edvard Munch is renowned for his haunting portrayals of love, alienation, jealousy, and death—universal human experiences that he filtered through events in his own life. By manipulating color, line, texture, and pictorial details, he reworked these images in multiple print variations, continually renewing their power to express his artistic goals.
In this fascinating exhibition, the National Gallery of Art brings together nearly 60 of Munch’s most important prints to show how his persistent experimentation and virtuosic handling of woodcut, lithography, and intaglio endowed different impressions of his primary motifs with new meanings. Exploring these transformations in several series of Munch’s prints, selected not only from its own superb holdings but also from two exceptional private collections, the curators of this exhibition offer a richer and more nuanced appreciation for this great Norwegian master.

Art and Politics
Mao’s Last Dancer (Three Stars)
U.S.; Bruce Beresford, 2010
Ballet, that grand art of music and the body married together, is a natural subject for the movies — a potentially wondrous one, as The Red Shoes is there to prove again and again. And Bruce Beresford‘s fact-based drama Mao’s Last Dancer is an exhilarating example of a contemporary ballet film, fusing dance and drama, art and politics, body and soul: a real-life story, scripted by writer Jan Sardi (of Shine) from the experiences, and the autobiographical book, by Chinese star ballet dancer Li Cunxin.
It’s not a musical movie where the dance dominates. The movie works less from the music than from the ways Beresford and Sardi reveal the world around the dancers. But that’s not a drawback. It’s a fascinating world, and a fascinating story, about a complex person, who also happens to be a dancer — and who was able to escape into a new world because of it.
This movie is now showing in MD/DC etc.Check movie theatre and times on the web.

How to make landscape beds in your yard
Do you ever look at your back or front yard and dream of having them look like a landscape magazine? It is not as difficult as you may think.First, get out your garden hose and make the shape of the bed you want to plant in your yard.Yes,I did say garden hose.It is flexible,has weight and makes perfect outlines.You will also need enough mulch to fill the new bed and also allot of newspaper.Place the newspaper,3-5 sheets thick, on the grass/ area outlined by the garden hose.After the newspaper has covered the area,place mulch on top of the newspaper.Remove the garden hose.Wait about 4-5 months and all the grass will be gone.You will then have your new garden to plant whatever you wish without going to the chiropractor to fix your back from digging.

Homme-Temoin Artists and art
I did not have a topic for today and decided to go on line to find some new piece of art information.So I googled scupture+ artists.It was magic what happened next.This site,the-artists.org called out to me to investigate .The first page consisted of art movements ,63 listed.I picked the most obsure words I could find,Homme-Temoin,sounds like a meditation chant to me.Suprising,the article was interesting.Enjoy!
Homme-Temoin, artists and art
(movement, 1948)
Homme-Temoin (Man as Witness). “A group of French artists who were united in their promotion of expressive Social Realism in opposition to the current schools of abstraction. They came to public noctice in 1948 when Michel de Gallard, Bernard Lorjou, Yvonne Mottet, Paul Rebeyrolle and Michel Thomson exhibited at the Gal. du Bac, Paris. They declared that ‘man is an eater of red meat, fried potatoes, fruit and cheese’, solidy rooted in the elementary material needs of daily life, and that his need in consequence was for true, authentic and direct pictures. They set the solid common sense of the populace against the refinements of the abstractionists who, engrossed in their purely pictorial problems, had lost contact with ordinary life . . . . “[Osborne, Harold, editor.

Late Renoir
June 17, 2010 – September 6, 2010
Late Renoir follows the renowned painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir through the final—and most fertile and innovative—decades of his career. At the height of his creative powers and looking toward posterity, Renoir created art that was timeless, enticing, and worthy of comparison to the greatest of the old masters, such as Raphael, Titian, and Rubens. He devoted himself to joyful subjects—frolicking bathers, domestic idylls, the drama of classical mythology, and the brilliance of Mediterranean landscape and sea. His fluid brushstrokes and masterful use of color won the admiration of the emerging modernist avant-garde, who considered Renoir one of the greatest living artists. Approximately eighty paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Renoir are being displayed alongside twenty works by younger artists—Aristide Maillol, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso among them—to illustrate, illumine, and celebrate Renoir’s legacy.
