SUMMARY:Form and Content - Selected Works by Floyd Coleman
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4844908/ ] Floyd Coleman\, best known for his art historical scholarship and criticism\, is also a mixed media artist whose work highlights the vibrancy and complexity of Washington\, D.C. His approach to canvas and paper echoes his diverse interests in politics and race relations\, and also reflects the influence of the musical scores of John Coltrane\, Duke Ellington\, and Ornette Coleman. Jazz became the muse that inspired Floyd Colemans work and as an abstractionist\, he used strong hues such as blue\, green\, yellow\, and red in his work to parallel the improvisation of jazz music. His rapid lines and shapes represent the impulsive nature of the tones and notes in jazz music as he endeavors to feel the rhythm and capture the diversity of Washington\, D.C.Admission: Free

SUMMARY:Henri Matisse: Cutouts
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4666333/ ] During the last fifteen years of his life\, Henri Matisse developed his final artistic triumph by "cutting into color." The drama\, scale\, and innovation of Matisse's rare and fragile papiers coupes (paper cutouts) remain without precedent or parallel. His technique involved the freehand cutting of colored papers into beautiful shapes\, which he then pinned loosely to the white studio walls\, later adjusting\, recutting\, combining\, and recombining them to his satisfaction. The result created an environment that transcended the boundaries of conventional painting\, drawing\, and sculpture. Later\, the shapes were glued to large white paper backgrounds for shipping or display. This group of cutouts represents one of the largest concentrations of these important works worldwide.
