Bobby Lee Krajnik- Joyful Spirit at the Olney Gallery Phoenix AZ
Bobby Lee Krajnik: Immediately on entering the Olney Gallery you are welcomed and surrounded by a sincere sense of Joy. There are colors everywhere I looked and with the feeling that I had just magically relieved myself of any stress that I accumulated during the course of the day. There was the hum of excitement. It was a good place to be.
“It is very important to me that my work e positive and uplifting to those who view it. I want to bring a smile to people’s faces, make them chuckle or just feel a little lighter for having viewed my work. If I can make the world a little brighter then my work is done.” Bobby Lee Kranjnik

Golden Adele Comes Back To The Neue!
In April, the “Neue Galerie New York opened “Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold,” an intimate exhibition devoted to the close relationship that existed between the artist and one of his key subjects and patrons. Included in the exhibition will be a display of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, paintings, related drawings, vintage photographs, decorative arts, and archival material.”
When I saw “Adele” a few years ago, I was surprised because at a distance, she looked paler than I expected, but as I moved closer, the painting became more vibrant. The silver and gold on canvas is the glitter/glint shine of the Sun and a gentle silvery Moon-like glow surrounding her. (You can see why it took Klimt 3 years to complete this layered, elaborate work. It is beautiful.)
“Gustav Klimt and Adele Bloch-Bauer: The Woman in Gold “
Until September 7, 2015
Neue Galerie Museum for German and Austrian Art
104 E 86th St, at 5th Ave, NYC

FYI: Klimt was a member of the “Vienna Secession”, a group of artists that broke away from the traditional way of painting.

Cubism At The MET
“Cubism, the most influential art movement of the early twentieth century, still resonates today. It destroyed traditional illusionism in painting and radically changed the way we see the world. The Leonard A. Lauder Collection, unsurpassed in its holdings of Cubist art, is now a promised gift to the Museum.”
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition includes…”eighty paintings, collages, drawings, and sculpture by the four preeminent Cubist artists: Georges Braque (French, 1882–1963), Juan Gris (Spanish, 1887–1927), Fernand Léger (French, 1881–1955), and Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881–1973).”
The Leonard A. Lauder Cubist Collection
Closes February 15, 2015
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
5th Ave and 86 Street, NYC
FYI: Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement pioneered by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso…instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. (per Wikipedia)

The “Nabis” at DMA!
The Dallas Museum of Art presents:
“Small Worlds: Edouard Vuillard and the Intimate Art of the Nabis”
Beginning in the late 1800s, a group of artists, including Edouard Vuillard, Paul Bonnard, Maurice Denis, and Félix Vallotton , “calling themselves the Nabis, a Hebrew word meaning “prophets,” …forged a new relationship to many of the same subjects that had fascinated the impressionists a generation before: the modern city, its streets and public spaces, and the status of the private self in relation to this public sphere.”
“Small Worlds: Edouard Vuillard and the Intimate Art of the Nabis”
DMA / Dallas Museum of Art – Until April 15, 2015
1717 North Harwood
Dallas, Texas
