Last summer I got a call from the Amon Carter Museum of American art offering me the opportunity to work on their first iteration of a new program called “Carter Collab.” In this program I would work with the museum and a school in Fort Worth (Rosemont Middle School) and its art department, which had been awarded a grant through the program, to develop a mural for their campus based on the permanent collection of the Carter, the students’ ideas / school community, and my practice. The entire process so far has been wonderfully rewarding - from selecting the wall with school and fwisd admin, to meeting students at the museum to pull inspiration from the collection, to having them make mock-ups and draw hundreds of dandelion seeds for the final mural design. The concept we settled on was a design that incorporated elements from works by #melaniecervantes , #georgiaokeeffe , @cmfrndz , and #joséguadalupeposada , my interest in plants as proxies for the self, and the students’ values surrounding unity, diversity, and freedom at their school. I started painting it two days ago and will be working on it for the next few weeks. Follow along in stories for updates! 🖤 A thousand thanks to @adamwerner817 and the @theamoncarter for this unique opportunity to intertwine my love of art, education, community and service. #cartercollab #amoncartermuseumofamericanart #cartercommunityartist #brendamelgozaciardiello #fwisd #rosemontmiddleschool #fortworth #texasart

Many families, including mine, have old pictures, papers, heirlooms, and other items that tell the stories of our history. Though these items hold precious memories and family history, they are often jumbled in boxes and pushed aside to deal with later.

Clara E. Sipprell, Untitled, c. 1920 Clara E. Sipprell (1885-1975) began regularly exhibiting her photography at the Buffalo Camera Club from 1910 onwards, which eventually led to her moving to New York in 1915. Within a few months, she established her own portrait studio with a notable list of clienteles; from Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) to Albert Einstein (1879-1955), Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) and Langston Hughes (1901-1967). Continuing to exhibit her work consistently throughout the 1920s, Sipprell was given her first solo show at the San Jose State Teachers College in 1929. Over the course of her lifetime, Sipprell’s work was shown in over 100 photography exhibitions world-wide. Today, her work is held by several major collections across America including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Syracuse University in New York, and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Texas. #ClaraSipprell #BuffaloCameraClub #AlfredStieglitz #AlbertEinstein #EleanorRoosevelt #LangstonHughes #SanJoseStateTeachersCollege #MoMA #SyracuseUniversity #AmonCarterMuseumOfAmericanArt #SistersOfTheLens #WomenPhotographers #FemalePhotographers #1920sPhotography Written by @hannah.marynissen

James Prosek, Self portrait as a burned log, with branch of Cedar Elm, 2022. This art work explores the importance of fires to prairie life.

Charles Baudelaire가 근대 생활의 화가 ’The Painter of Modern Life‘에서 썼듯이 19세기 후반 남성 부르주아들은 플라뇌르(Flâneur)라는 이름으로 도시를 활보하고 구경하며, 새롭게 등장한 레저문화를 즐기면서 대로를 산책하였다. 이들 남성은 대부분 부르주아 출신의 소비계층이었으나, 같은 부르주아 출신이라 하더라도 여성의 경우엔 활동하는 영역이나 사회적 공간이 달랐다. 또한 여성 미술가들이 자신의 그림 속에 여성을 다룬 방식은 남성 미술가들과는 다른 독특한 양상을 보여주었다… 중략 ‘서양미술 산책’ 늘 새학기가 되면 만나고 있지만 그때마다 더 설렌다. #marycassatt #Themuseumoffineartshouston #AmonCarterMuseumofAmericanArt #lanasam_art

It’s August 25th and time for today’s installment of my Monthly Feature: The Life and Works of Philip Johnson! Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas The Amon Carter Museum of American Art (ACMAA) is located in Fort Worth, Texas, in the city's cultural district. The museum's permanent collection features paintings, photography, sculpture, and works on paper by leading artists working in the United States and its North American territories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The greatest concentration of works falls into the period from the 1820s through the 1940s. Photographs, prints, and other works on paper produced up to the present day are also an area of strength in the museum's holdings. A chance meeting between Amon Carter's daughter and New Yorker Philip C. Johnson at a Houston dinner party led to the commissioning of Johnson as the future museum's lead architect. Ruth Carter Stevenson (who was Ruth Carter Johnson at the time and no relation to the architect) had assumed the role of project manager for the new museum and was in a position to offer Philip Johnson the job. In February 1959, the City of Fort Worth and the Amon G. Carter Foundation entered into a contract for the creation of a museum of western art, with the city providing the remainder of the land needed to build the museum. Construction began in 1960, and the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art opened to the public on January 21, 1961 #monthlyfeature #philipcotelyoujohnson #philipjohnson #amoncartermuseumofamericanart #acmma

Today I finished reading Rembrandt is in the Wind by Russ Ramsey while sitting in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. When I walked in to the museum I was amazingly on the chapter about Henry O. Tanner. Tanner is the artist the author says he owns the most reproductions of and incidentally was the chapter where I found the author asked the most introspective questions. While at the museum I purchased a copy of Fundamentals of Art History hoping to continue my #thinkingreading into a new field and learn the new to me language of art. Sometimes learning to ask questions requires a whole new vocabulary to even begin knowing what you don’t know. You can obviously start by using words borrowed from subjects you are already familiar with but to go beyond just a surface level of understanding of a subject requires the unique language of that subject. What beginning vocabulary might you need to grow in your knowledge of art and where could you acquire such grammar? #russramsey1 #rembrandtisinthewind #amoncartermuseumofamericanart #fortworthtexas

One of our previously featured artists, Leonardo Drew, is exhibiting a new large-scale abstract installation at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. Titled Number 235T, the dynamic installation consists of sculptural pieces made from organic material that surround the walls of the space. You can see this captivating work on display from June 17, 2023, to June 30, 2024. #leonardodrew #contemporaryart #amoncartermuseumofamericanart
Recently opened at @TheAmonCarter, abstract sculptor Leonardo Drew’s "Number 235T" is a site-specific installation responding spontaneously to the museum’s gallery space. Each metal, muslin, plaster, and wood object affixed to the wall was painstakingly created by the artist and recycled from previous sculptures. Museum visitors become participants in the installation, allowing a personal interpretation of the organic and rhythmic structure that mirrors the unpredictability of the natural world. This commission is the latest in a series initiated by the Carter in 2019 to provide space for living artists to interact with and respond to the Museum’s collection through the creation of new works, filtering the tradition of American art through contemporary experiences and expanding the breadth of work represented. "Number 235T" is on view through June 30, 2024.

"Far from the madding crowded ignoble strife Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way." Thomas Gray: Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. Georgia O'Keeffe depiction of Ranchos Church. The San Francisco de Asis Mission Church, Taos, New Mexico. The adobe structure was built between 1772 and 1816. It remains an active church. #georgiaokeeffe #ranchoschurch #adobechurch #oiloncanvas #countrychurch #amoncartermuseumofamericanart #taos #newmexico #abstractreality #modernism #thomasgray #grayselegy #elegywritteninacountrychurchyard #americanart #theamoncarter #farfromthemaddingcrowd #sundaysermon

"We've braved the belly of the beast. We've learned that quiet isn't always peace. And the norms and notions of 'what is' - Isn't always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we know it. Somehow, we've weathered and witnessed - A nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished." Amanda Gorman: The Hill We Climb. Memorial Day. When America remembers those who died in the service of the United States Armed Forces. A day also perhaps to reflect on America and its freedom. The Inauguration poem has been banned in a school district in Florida. It was written to "cause confusion and indoctrinate students." and is "not for schools" according to its critic. Freedom has many different meanings in the America of today. The painting is a detail from 'Flags on the Waldorf' by Childe Hassam.
