Annoucement of a new Zoom session Nov. 19, Literature Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu

 



Dear colleague,

 

You might have receive this announcement from some other distribution sources. However, I wish to extend you my personal invitation to this event about a very gifted Romanian interbellum writer: Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu. It is sad that she is not more known around the world.

 

The event will be completely in English (with no translations).

 

Also if you know other people who might be interested please let them know to, and ask them to register (instruction in the text below).

 

All the best, and much health (most important in this Covid-19 times),

 

Ileana

PS I am also (FYI) placing below a Summary of the 2021 events.



Română:

 

Dragi membri și prieteni ai ARA,

 

Dorim să vă aducem la cunoștință că Academia Româno - Americană de Arte și Științe organizează prin Zoom în data de 19 noiembrie 2021, 8-10 AM (West Coast, SUA) / 18-20 (România) / 11-13 (East Coast, SUA) al șaselea minisimpozion de anul acesta, cu tema Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu. Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu este o scriitoare interbelică a cărei operă este revoluționară, și al cărei activism cultural constituie o moștenire remarcabilă a începutului de secol XX. In romanele sale, Hortensia Padadat-Bengescu creează atât portretul condițiilor socio-economice și structurilor de putere, cât și al structurilor educaționale și medicale, care contribuie la condiția dezavantajoasă a femeii în societate în acea perioadă. Modul unic in care această scriitoare prezintă viețile femeilor în România interbelică rivalizează contribuția Viginiei Woolf pentru literatura engleză si universală.

 

Afișul conferinței se regăsește în fișierul atașat. Prezentările sunt ținute în limba engleză de cercetători literari specialiști în opera acestei autoare.

 

Dacă aveți cunoștințe în domeniu sau considerați că interpretarea operei acestei scriitoare în viziunea dumneavoastră este originală, sunteți invitați să trimiteți un email Mădălinei Meiroșu la mmeiros1@swarthmore.edu pentru a propune sa va alăturați prezentatorilor.

 

Dacă doriți să participați în audiență, vă rugăm să vă înregistrați trimițând un email la mmeiros1@swarthmore.edu și veți primi linkul de conectare și programul detaliat cu câteva zile înainte de eveniment.

 

Cu cele mai bune gânduri,

Dear members and friends of ARA:

 

This is to announce you that the American Romanian Academy of Arts and Sciences organizes via Zoom on November 19th, 2021, 8-10 AM (West Coast, SUA) / 18-20 (Romania) / 11-13 (East Coast, SUA), the sixth mini-symposium, on the work of Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu. Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu is a Romanian interbellum writer whose revolutionary work and cultural activism continue to remain a remarkable legacy of the beginning of the 20th century. In her novels, Hortensia Papadat-Bengescu creates a fresco of the socio-economic conditions and power structures, as well as educational and medical structures, that contribute to women’s disempowerment in this epoque. The unique way in which this writer depicts the lives of women during the 1920s and 1930s rivals Virginia Woolf’s contribution to Anglophone and world literature.

 

The poster to this event is in the attached file. The presentations are made by distinguished literary specialists in the field.

 

Those of you who are knowledgeable on the subject matter or simply feel that your interpretation of this writer’ work is an original one and you would like to share it in the form of a presentation, please contact Mădălina Meiroșu at mmeiros1@swarthmore.edu.

 

Should you wish to participate in the event as an audience member, please pre-register by sending an email to mmeiros1@swarthmore.edu and you will receive the link and final program a few days prior to the event.

 

With best wishes,

“LOOK AT ME”
New York artist Jerry W. McDaniel

Artist Statement

This exhibition represents the beginning and middle of my “billboards-inspired Citiscapes” period of rectangles, circles, and spheres.
During the 60s, when I had my studio in Greenwich Village, New York, many parts of the city were in the midst of large construction projects. They did not have the elegance of today’s big walls to fence the construction sites, but instead used the old doors from the buildings they were tearing down, stacking them two-doors-high to make a fence 14’ wide and 16’ tall.   Saul Bass used these doors as background for his titles and credits for West Side Story.  Although film credits customarily ran at the beginning, these 28 minutes of credits ran at the end of the film. Bass explained that this gave the audience time to collect themselves after the gripping and tragic love story.
Then came the “snipers”, companies who were hired to paste big advertisements on these door-walls. This business spread quite rapidly and every couple of days they would attach fresh ads on top of the previous ones. After a period of time, these walls got so thick they would curl up at the edge. I tore some 2’ x 3’ pieces and discovered 20-30 layers of ads stuck together.
I was fascinated by this explosion of colorful advertisement, busy and kitschy as Hell. It was like the Barnum and Bailey Circus on every construction site in Greenwich Village. I took photographs and made many sketches of those advertisement walls. This was the inspiration for my “billboard-typographic” art. All my paintings during that period were based on a small fragment of the various torn and ripped billboards with colors coming from the ads underneath.
The idea of circular paintings came to me while studying at the New School for Social Research in New York with Angelo Savelli and Henry Pearson. They taught an experimental workshop where we were exposed to everybody’s wild and fantastic ideas. One night a student came to class with a 30” empty circular canvas. While she was out of the room for a few minutes I made a quick colored abstract pizza slice and placed it on her canvas. When she returned I told her jokingly, “It’s finished. Voila!” That was the birth of my thinking about circles. The first circles I painted were enamel on sized canvas. I went to enamel because the chemical condition of acrylic paint in those days was pitiful. In this exhibit I am showing 4 of my original 13 enamel paintings.
Meanwhile the quality of the acrylic paint improved and I started using it. At a group show in Soho, Manhattan, people were fascinated by the fact that my circle had part left as row canvas. This was the beginning of my second series of circles in which I used the canvas as part of the composition.  These are not included in this exhibition.

I do not use easels. I put all 13 canvases on sawhorses in my studio so that I can walk around them. All 13 circles were painted on at the same time. I set up different colors in all 4 corners of the room. I worked from north, east, west, and south back and forth through the canvases. I made all those colors move through each other. The portion where the color was set initially remained predominantly that color, diminishing in quantity as it crossed to the other side of the studio. That explains why all these circles have the same date. They were finished in a 2-3 week period in 1971.
The following fall I had a one-man show with these circles at the Fashion Institute of Technology/SUNY Gallery. At the opening Henry Pearson, who gets credit for being the father of optical painting commented,  “You should have mixed the circles with some rectangles”.
Finally after 40 years, I am doing just that in my exhibition at the Valley Performing Arts Center Gallery with the help of the CSUN’s Art Gallery Director, Jim Sweeters: I am combining circles with rectangles.
