Zapatistas

JosÃ© Clemente Orozco Mexican, 1883-1949 i>Zapatistas, 1931 Oil on canvas From the curation card: The slain revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata (1879-1919) figures prominently in the work of Mexican artists of the 1920s and 1930s. In this painting Orozco depicts a somber moment in the Mexican Revolution,as Zapatistas -- Zapata's peasant followers -- march to their deaths. "I don't trust revolutions or glorify them, as I witnessed too much butchery," Orozco later remarked, referring to his experience in the Revolution. His trademark palatte, dominated by blacks and earthy reds, underscores the violent nature of the subject matter and echoes the colors in the political caricatures he made for revolutionary journals early in his career.

Thoth

Cornice block A.D. 41-68 Sandstone From Philae Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City From the curation card: This block originally formed part of a screen wall that connected the four front columns and sidewalls of the Temple of Harendotes ("Horus the Avenger") on the island of Philae. The relief represents the "baptism of Pharaoh," a purification ritual that was part of Egyptian coronation ceremonies. The gods Horus (not preserved) and the ibis-headed Thoth poured water -- here represented by streams of ankh (life) and was (dominion) hieroglyphs -- over the head of the king. The pharaoh whose head is partially preserved is a Claudian emperor most probably either Claudius or Nero. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoth I admit I had some fun with this -- when I first saw it in the Metropolitan Museum, I thought Thoth was performing a craniotomy on some unsuspecting individual. The curation card cleared that one up. Guess you can't take the physician out of me...

National Gallery Tower

Towers on buildings have long been meant as a symbol to all who view them. Some towers offer a promise of passage to the heavens. Some towers represent the power of those within and are intended to either strike fear of respect (or both) from viewers. Other towers are meant as a simple symbol of wealth, influence and perhaps sophistication. What then to make of a tower at an art gallery? Does it represent the collection? Is this tower a simple homage to the tower at the library of the parliament buildings in Ottawa, across the Rideau Canal? Or is this a symbol of the skill and talent of the architect and engineer that designed and built it? Regardless of the true intended symbolism of this tower, it sure looks nice against the evening sky while lit from inside. I feel not fear, but a sudden desire to enter the museum to view the collection. Towers on buildings have long been meant as a symbol to all who view them.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln Leonard Wells Volk, 1828-1895 Modeled 1860, cast 1880 Bronze From the curation card:On May 18,1860, Leonard Volk made a life mask by covering the future president's face in plaster, letting it set, and carefully removing it. Volk then used the mask to create numerous bronze sculptures. Because they were based directly from Lincoln's face, the sculptures have a freshness and level of detail that capture the intensity of the 51-year-old presidential candidate. At the time Volk made the life mask, Lincoln did not yet wear the beard that would later become an iconic part of his popular image.

Portrait of Jean de ThÃ©venot (1633-1667), 1660-63 by Philippe de Champaigne (French, 1602-74&#x29

Huntington Museum in San Marino, California This man should probably be considered the patron saint of all early morning risers! From the curation card: Jean de ThÃ©venot was a linguist, natural scientist, botanist, and traveler who wrote extensively about his journeys to the eastern Mediterranean and Turkey. He is also the man we can thank for introducing coffee to Parisian society in 1657 and for instructing the French in its use. We do not know why Philippe de Champaigne, one of the greatest French painters of the 17th century, painted his portrait but it is obvious he took pleasure in rendering the lavish fabrics, Turkish-inspired domed architecture, and almost translucent complexion of this striking and exotic figure. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_de_Th%C3%A9venot.
