SUMMARY:Edwin Binney 3rd Memorial Lecture: The Thief Who Stole My Heart
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 8\n10:00 a.m.–noon PT\nSpeaker: Vidya Dehejia\, Barbara Stoler Miller Professor Emerita of Indian Art at Columbia University\nVirtual Event \n  \nJoin an online lecture with internationally renowned scholar of Indian art Vidya Dehejia. Be introduced to a master sculptor working around the year 1000 whose inspiration may well have been child-saint Sambandar’s opening hymn that hails Shiva as “the thief who stole my heart.” Dehejia then moves beyond the sensuous to ask questions of this material that have not been asked before\, treating the bronzes as material objects that interacted in meaningful ways with human activities\, and with socioeconomic and religious practices. Where did the Cholas acquire the copper required to cast the many temple bronzes that are solid and heavy pieces of metal? Why were the Cholas obsessed with island Sri Lanka? What were the circumstances that permitted the creation of so many temples and such large numbers of exquisite bronzes despite the constant warfare that the Chola monarchs undertook to retain and expand their empire? What was the source of the pearls and coral\, rubies and diamonds that were embedded in gold jewelry gifted to adorn every temple’s sacred bronzes? Why did the Cholas cover the walls of their temple walls with inscriptions– over 12\,000 in total – that cast intriguing light on society of the time? \nVidya Dehejia is Barbara Stoler Miller Professor Emerita of Indian Art at Columbia University in New York. An internationally renowned art historian\, she is the author of a range of books on the history of Indian art that connect the literary and visual arts in meaningful ways. Her most recent publications include The Thief who Stole My Heart: The Material Life of Sacred Bronzes from Chola India\, 855-1280 and India: A Story through 100 Objects. Other well-known books include The Unfinished. Indian Stone Carvers at Work (2016)\, The Body Adorned (2012)\, The Sensuous & the Sacred: Chola Bronzes from South India (2002)\, Discourse in Early Buddhist Art (1997). Between 1994-2002\, Dr. Dehejia served as Chief Curator & Deputy Director of the Freer & Sackler Galleries of the Smithsonian in Washington DC\, and as Acting Director in 2001-2002. In 2016\, she presented the 65th annual A.W. Mellon lectures in the Fine Arts at the National Gallery in Washington DC\, a series in which the art of India was featured for the very first time in the 65-year history of the Mellon lectures. The President of India awarded her a Padma Bhushan in 2012 for “Outstanding Contribution to Art & Education.” \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Nothing = Something: Japanese Aesthetics in the Art of Sam Francis
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 27\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Hollis Goodall\, Curator of Japanese Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)\nVirtual Event \n  \nSam Francis (1923–1994) spent many of the years between 1957 and the early 1990’s traveling between his studios in Japan and California. His friendships with avant-garde artists in Osaka and Tokyo introduced him to the principles of the art movements Gutai (meaning concrete or concreteness) and Mono-ha (the school of things). The missions of these two artist groups change the approach to art by allowing the materials to speak of their inherent qualities. Corporate magnate\, art collector\, and patron—and for a time his father-in-law\, Idemitsu Sazō\, taught Sam Francis through his personal art collection to understand the greater field of Japanese aesthetics. \nThis lecture will center around an exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) entitled Sam Francis and Japan: Emptiness Overflowing\, and Japanese aesthetics old and new that can be perceived in the paintings and prints of this foremost artist. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nPlease save your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link via confirmation email with instructions once you secure your place. Space is limited. \n  \nSave my spot!\n  \nSponsored by the Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Sam Francis\, Towards Disappearance\, 1957–58\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Modern and Contemporary Art Council Fund\, © 2023 Sam Francis Foundation\, California/Artists Rights Society (ARS)\, New York\, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA
