On the Net: www His painting, always delicate and elegant, was influenced by a broad range of styles, from integrating aspects of Oceanic or African art to applying the stonelike outlines and simplified planes of sculpture 22 to Jan "Nude paintings of contemporary figures were very surprising and shocking Most of the works were loaned out by dozens of museums in Europe, the United States and Japan They're meant to engage you," said Kenneth Wayne, curator of the Albright-Knox Gallery, which is staging the first major exhibition of Modigliani's works in the United States since 1961 The pictures of children Modigliani met while living in the South of France late in the war get a room to themselves (AP) â€â€? His fragile lungs impaired by limestone dust, Amedeo Modigliani switched from sculpture to painting portraits and nudes during World War I and quickly elevated his reputation along with those of such avant-garde masters as Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso Y His three dozen richly colored nudes were a startling departure from tradition The first person to do it was (Edouard) Manet with a painting called `Olympia' in the 1860s but he didn't really do a lot more with nudes Modigliani and Picasso were among the first in France to seek inspiration outside the Western art tradition in an effort to create "a more exciting and interesting form," said Wayne, a Modigliani scholar who is publishing a 240-page, illustrated catalog to accompany the show "He's really making them important, ennobling them I'd say 12 Titled "Modigliani and the Artists of Montparnasse," it features 56 paintings, sculptures, watercolors and drawings by Modigliani, plus an assortment of works by Constantin Brancusi, Chaim Soutine, Picasso, Matisse and other contemporaries in the Parisian quarter In place of royalty and the rich, here were monumental portraits of small-town youngsters " The show will be on view from Oct He flourished in an era when photography was freeing artists of the need to be realistic or naturalistic While his sculptures and charcoal-pencil drawings are highly prized, Modigliani is best known as a soulful portraitist Exhibit Focuses on Comic Strips, Readers Mar 19, 12:05 PM EST A reader skims the comics in her hometown newspaper "The negative letters I got were from your general crackpots who are way too sensitive for their own good, but of course feature editors ignore the 100 positive ones and listen to this one negative one " The strip in question was "For Better or for Worse," Lynn Johnston's long-running look at family relationships While that could change depending on the course of the conflict, it may also reflect a growing acceptance that the funnies "need a good mix of humor," Salem said cartoonart "But the really successful ones like `Peanuts' were written on two levels, for adults and for kids " Many cartoonists resent it when newspaper editors bow to pressure from aggrieved readers At the same time, Salem doesn't anticipate a day when all cartoonists use comic strips to display their biting wits "There are a few who like to push the boundaries and that process has certainly enlivened the comics pages A combination of burnout, fatherhood and five years of selective editing prompted "Liberty Meadows" cartoonist Cho to give up on newspapers and pursue the comic book market A strip in which he compared President Reagan to a terrorist who had aided Osama bin Laden drew a heated reaction from the grieving public, which in turn provoked a sarcastically patriotic series from an obviously unrepentant McGruder Harold Gray used "Little Orphan Annie" as a platform for blasting Roosevelt's New Deal politics, and "Pogo" openly lampooned communist-baiting Sen "It's a misconception that a lot of people have because a lot of comics are very appropriate for kids," she said 11, 2001, was the stimulus for the show Dietzen says the public's image of cartoons as a purely G-rated medium recalls a time that never was The show features reader responses and inflammatory debated cartoons by seven artists, ranging from Doonesbury's Garry Trudeau, who is in his 33rd year as a comic strip rebel, to such young muckrakers as Frank Cho, creator of the racy "Liberty Meadows," and Aaron McGruder, the satiric mind behind "The Boondocks "They really need to be more open-minded about comic strips, because at the rate they're going they're only going to cater to senior citizens "Hate Mail: Comic Strip Controversies" is an attempt by the 16-year-old museum to illustrate the often anachronistic relationship Americans have with the funnies " At its peak of popularity, "Liberty Meadows" appeared in 100 newspapers " As the United States prepares for war with Iraq, few readers have expressed displeasure with the barbed skepticism that has appeared in "Doonesbury" and "The Boondocks," according to Lee Salem, editor of Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes both strips â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Cartoon Art Museum: www He figures that about 350 strips, one-fourth of his output over the years, were changed â€â€? Cho prefers the term "censored" â€â€? to make them more family friendly The 28-year-old McGruder's experience with "The Boondocks" following the events of Sept But if every comic strip did that they would be pretty boring "Newspapers are basically 50 years behind the whole entertainment curve," says Cho In a scene reminiscent of the post-Watergate period when Trudeau caught heat for using "Doonesbury" to declare Attorney General John Mitchell "Guilty, guilty, guilty," many newspaper editors either temporarily suspended "The Boondocks" or relocated it to their opinion pages as they fielded phone calls from readers threatening to cancel their subscriptions Trudeau, incidentally, won a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning the same year as the Mitchell flap, an honor that annoyed political cartoonists who did not consider Trudeau a member of their tribe Between "Peanuts" and the harmless antics of Garfield the cat, a deceptively childlike cartoon so arouses her ire that she fires off a letter to the author By the time Cho canceled the strip, it was down to about 30 "Most cartoonists aren't out there trying to break down barriers Joe McCarthy org</ p> But a COMIC STRIP?!?!?!?," the offended reader writes When Johnston devoted her syndicated cartoon in 1993 to a gay character's coming out of the closet, she received boxloads of hostile correspondence, the likes of which forms the backbone of an exhibit at San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum Museum Curator Jenny Dietzen says that while most people have grown accustomed to Trudeau's humor, readers often feel betrayed when cartoonists whom they originally viewed as benign "take risks " "Hate Mail" runs through June 8 and will not travel " "Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, there is still very much this idea in some people's minds that the comics are a place of solace where you get away from crime and violence, that the comics are only wholesome family fare," said museum director Rod Gilchrist Early versions of "Brenda Starr" showed a reporter as buxom as Cho's latter-day heroine, Brandy, while "Dick Tracy" fans were treated to a steady diet of violence "I had grown up with the impression that comic strips were supposed to be lighthearted, funny and pleasurable to read "I find it increasingly disturbing to discover that such repulsive behavior is being thrown at us from every medium " When Wiley Miller took on Christian fundamentalists in "Non Sequitur" or Scott Adams had Dilbert make a few jokes about cannibalism, they, too, heard from readers "For every 100 positive letters I got I received one negative one," said Cho, 31, who was often told to tone down the overt sexuality of his strip They want to reach readers," said Salem |
