TIME & ETERNITY

I t is with our deep-est sorrow that AS-

CA announced the passing of our be-loved ASCA Mem-ber, Honey Kassoy, on Friday, July 5

th,

2013. Honey was 95 years old. Her hus-band, Bernard, also an ASCA member passed away in 2008.

Riverdale Press, 07/11/13 Hortense Kassoy, who died at 96 on July 5, was an artist as adept with a chisel as she was with a paint brush. For many years she shared stu-dios with her late husband, Bernard, in both Kingsbridge Heights and Burlington, N.Y., not far from Cooperstown. The couple moved to the Amalgamated Houses in 1950 and quickly became active members of the com-munity. Among the many activities Honey — as she was known to all — embraced were the Amalgamated Nurse-ry School, the co-op’s visual arts committee, the costume ball committee, a publication called Co-op Voices and the Apricot theater group.

-ties in the two plans; the knowledge is acquired by spa-tial interactions. (Significant or back plan, signifier or fore plan). Prebinarity is the evolutif erecting process of the sig-nificant to the signifier; giving a preponderant presence of the fragmented chromatics, it is a procedure of fusion after a long dialogue of reasoning between the signifiant and signifier, with the goal of becoming a single surface on which is expressed the final phase of the impression-ism lyric. The philosophy of the temporal elevates a dimension of a present reality by the presentism and by its reality called temporality. The temporal distinguishes from the presentism philo-sophically, by giving to the present temporal a perma-nent fixation, meaning the temporal is a permanent pre-sent. Where as the presentism, by its philosophical or metaphysical wheel, evokes the notion of the fugitive ephemeral that gives to the presentism, the notion of the non-sizeable in the present. If a surface has no fragmentation it is because there is a temporal conscience of time fixation and its antinomy the present fugitive. The symbiotic fusion of the two di-mensions becomes transcendentalism. The origins of binarity in transcendentalism it is the fusion of Divine and the human Soul, and by this cause, we understand that we are a symbiosis of God, and pushes us to fusion to a transcendent consciousness of polytheist or pantheist dimension. The binarism has inspires modern Art to transcend-ence from antiquity, before the emerging of monotheism, a contemporary veracity in function of our reality in con-nection with the scientific technology evolution. With the industrial evolution of the 19th century, the significance of time has changed, we must deal with time, it is the fusion of the temporal and the presentism, which gives an obsolete present total and complete. The impressionist Art has lightness in pictorial aes-thetic, but is deeper than lead to believe. Its content is powerful in the philosophy of existentialism. The Frag-mentation is a parameter of the subdivision of the perma-nent temporal fixed in the philosophy of the permanent wheel of time.

-lumbia Teachers College in 1938 and 1939 when her work was first featured in museums and galleries. Both she and her husband were noted for exploring a wide variety of media including oils, watercolors, wood and stone. According to a recent posting on the Bronx Council on the Arts website, Ms. Kassoy’s accolades include a scholarship to Parson’s School of Design in Paris and first prize in watercolor on painter’s day at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. She received numerous awards for sculpture from the American Society of Contemporary Artists’ annual show-cases and six fellowships from the Virginia Center for Creative Arts. Ms. Kassoy is survived by her daughters Meredith Kassoy and Sheila Kassoy Krstevski, sons-in-law Rafael Bustin and Dimitar (Mitko) Krstevski, grandson Alexander Krstevski and wife Anna Krstevski with great-grandson Nicholas Krstevski and granddaughter Toby Krstevski. A memorial gathering was held on Saturday, July 13, at 2 p.m. in Vladeck Hall, at 74 Van Cortlandt Park South on the Corner of Hillman Avenue.

PIAZZA MICHELANGELO, PIETRASANTA Across the square a golden palace glows, the past etched in its glorious facade. Lost memories so secretly repose in wooden doors, so intricately carved. In Michelangelo's cafe I doze and dream of marble from the distant hills. I wait there while my inspiration flows, to take up tools and utilize my skills. For he slept here so many years ago and waited for his marble to descend, pure marble cut from Mt. Altissimmo. Took several months before his stay would end. Nine men set my marble up for me. And now to carve , and set my image free. Honey Kassoy

A dventurous artists love dares. Thus the brashly mis-informed critical edict abstract painting is supposed

to be dead in the postmodern era has resulted in the ap-parent bumper crop of interesting abstractionists who approached your form and color from unexpected angles and take it in new directions. Three pages you took to dare a featured prominently in exhibition curated by fellow artist Basha Maryanska. One of the first cardinal rules of the old abstraction was that it was supposed to be nonobjective. If US the artist his or her intentions, he or she was supposed to answer as disingenuously as Willem de Kooning reportedly did well Paul McCartney asked him what one of the forms in one of his paintings were supposed to be: “I dunno, looks like a couch doesn’t?” So Sir Paul thought “Hmmm, I could do that” as he would later confess in an inter-view and took a painting to. Having been influenced by mu-sic in one way way or another. Bonnie Goodman, for one, lists “interpreting music expres-sion mystically” among the en-thusiasms a driver to paint, along with “the Bible and my-thology, images from our collective unconscious past dance…, Both in circuses, plant life” and several other things. The while she is also inspired by her collection of dolls, figurines, and statues, her paintings come off as primarily abstract anyway. Witness the acrylic painting sequels “Fugace” for one lively example. The first thing one notices is to simplify figures. But are they really fig-ures or anthropomorphic abstract forms alluding to the figure? The second choice appears correct, since Good-man’s “figures” are faithless, featureless two-dimensional entities that have the picture plane has anonymously has other shapes that seem to allude to many things and ac-tivities that invariably escape easy interpretation. Are those sinuous linear forms serpents? Surely they are serpentine; yet don’t they also seem like extensions of those slinky cloud forms in the sky, or architectural forms are also visible, suggesting steeples of high-rise struc-tures.

Let’s take another example of Goodman’s ability to confound the boundaries called “Mirror Toccatta.” wherein the previous painting they were loose and goosy, here, the so-called “figures” are more angular, with sharp edges and are strangely interlocked with cir-cular shapes around the wrists and ankles and torsos (See New Abstraction page 4)

suggesting bracelets and hula hoops, and they stand clustered in front of something that could suggest a fold-ing screen filled in with the same pale pastel hues as they themselves. But are they actually “selves” in any proper sense of that term or simply hand the elements of a basically abstract composition? One of the best examples of the fascinating duality in Goodman’ s paintings can be seen in “Silver Dancer in Shade of Blue,” with a graceful dancing figure, defined in silver outline simultaneously stands out and blends in with the intricate array of more totally abstract silver stripes, crosshatching, secular and triangular shapes that grace the vibrant blue background like symbols in an especially elaborate tic-tac-toe like game. The paintings of Bonnie Goodman confound all boundaries and cate-gories in the best tradition of the new abstraction Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the street artists are helping to establish a tradition in the making, as they explore new aesthetic territory, as the sec-ond painter, Larry Glickman, implies when he states, “I seek lyrical answers to problems that occur when one faces a blank space. The process begins when I create, constructs form-ing shapes, lines and textures… When colorists pushed in and on top of shapes and lines and applied again and again, and composing across the picture plane – challenging the inner eye to make rhythmic connec-tions through space in ways a musical composer challenges the synthesis of the inner ear. At some point during the complexity of this process the painting takes control of the picture and tells the pain to what to do, the painter merely follows.” The visual music that Larry Glickman conducts is nothing less than symphonic, with less saturations of color and tone consensual form to fill the entire canvas with a sense of movement and harmonic tonal variation. A true colorists in the sense that Matisse was (in contrast to his main rival Picasso, whose forte reform, to which color was a mere accessory, subservient to join), Glick-man is especially intrepid in his willingness to combine

hot hues such as cadmium red medium and deep purple with flecks of vibrant blue underpainting showing through with neon bright shades of orange and big masses of violent and compositions that threaten to leap off the wall and golf that you are physically as well as dramatically. Although many of Glickman’s organic looking form sug-gest the human body, both outside and inside (given the glistening visceral quality of his color combinations), as well as evoking aspects of landscape, nothing is ever spelled health, allowing the viewer to dry his or her own mental associations. Like the shapes in Arshille Gorky’s paintings, those Glickman’s compositions are biologically suggestive, alluding to nature without imitating the spe-cifics. Each painting is a big bowl explorative gesture in an adventure in inventing the new abstraction. The third painter, Nancy Stella Galianos born in Montréal to Greek Canadian parents, identifies with the abstract expres-sionists but adapts their voraciously spontaneous formal vocabulary to a savvy postmodern sensibility. Although the yellow violet, and blue calligraphic drips in Galianos’ acrylic on canvas “Celestial Dance” channel the visual terpsichore of Jackson Pollock, there “dance floor,” as the artist refers to her canvas, is a contrastingly soft, broadly brushed field of overlapping gestures more in the matter of his contemporary de Kooning. In other works, par-ticularly “Guided by Dreams,” the linear whirls and brash explo-sions of blue and yel-low that Galianos lays down on a virgin white ground are somewhat akin to the instant “action painting” of the showy French painter Georges Mathieu. Unlike Mathieu, who often created paintings before an audience in a pro-totype of so-called performance art, however, Galianos applies a similarly sweeping linear technique to settle statements of lyrical abstraction, such as a large compo-sition “Warm Autumn Feelings,” where her whiplash line wafts over soft patches of earth colors evoking the tones of fall foliage, or another acrylic on canvas she calls “Capriccio,” name for a kind of freeform improvised mu-sic composition. Like the other two artists featured here the work of Nancy Stella Galianos suggests a kind of visual music that revitalizes the art of purer line, form and color, chal-lenging our definition of nonobjective painting in new and exciting ways.

to Guido Reni in the half tones. She was especially happy in the heads of the Madonna and the Magdalene, impart-ing to them an expression of exalted tenderness. Her paintings on copper and her etchings were most attractive; indeed, all her works revealed the innate grace and refinement of her nature. Aside from her art the Sirani was a most interesting woman. She was very beautiful in person, and the sweet-ness of her temper made her a favorite with her friends, while her charming voice and fine musical talent added to her many attractions. Her admirers have also commend-ed her taste in dress, which was very simple, and have even praised her moderation in eating! She was skilled in domestic matters and accustomed to rise at dawn to at-tend to her household affairs, not permitting her art to interfere with the more homely duties of her life. One writ-er says that "her devoted filial affection, her feminine grace, and the artless benignity of her manners rounded out a character regarded as an ideal of perfection by her friends." It may be that her tragic fate caused an exag-gerated estimate to be made of her both as a woman and an artist. The actual cause of her death is unknown. There have been many theories concerning it. It was very generally believed that she was poisoned, although nei-ther the reason for the crime nor the name of its perpetra-tor was known. By some she was believed to have been sacrificed to the same professional jealousy that destroyed Domeni-chino; others accepted the theory that a princely lover who had made unworthy proposals to her, which she had scorned, had revenged himself by her murder. At length a servant, Lucia Tolomelli, who had been a long time in the Sirani family, was suspected of having poisoned her young mistress, was arrested, tried, and banished. But after a time the father of Elisabetta, finding no convincing reason to believe her guilty, obtained her pardon. Whatever may have been the cause of the artist's death, the effect upon her native city was overwhelming and the day of her burial was one of general mourning, the ceremony being attended with great pomp. She was buried beside Guido Reni, in the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, in the magnificent Church of the Dominicans. Poets and orators vied with each other in sounding her praises, and a book called "Il Penello Lagrimato," pub-lished at Bologna soon after her death, is a collection of orations, sonnets, odes, epitaphs, and anagrams, in Latin and Italian, setting forth the love which her native city bore to this beautiful woman, and rehearsing again and again her charms and her virtues. In the Ercolani Gallery there is a picture of Elisabetta painting a portrait of her father. It is said that she also painted a portrait of herself looking up with a spiritual ex-pression, which is in a private collection and seen by few people.

W e are all familiar with the artists of the Renaissance: Michelangelo, da Vinci, Raphael etc. when we think

of the Renaissance their names immediately pop into our heads. However, did you ever wonder who where were the gifted women artists creating art during this time. I recently came across a book that was included in the Gutenberg Project, which publishes books that are out of copyright and are free to anyone who wishes to download them to the computer, Kindle, etc. the title of the book is “Women in the Fine Arts From the Seventh Century B.C. To The 20th Century A.D.,” written by Clara Eerskine Clement and published in 1904. Here is one you may or may not have heard of. Sirani, Elisabetta. Has been praised as a woman and as an artist by Lanzi, Malva-sia, Picinardi, and other writers until one must believe that in spite of the exaggeration of her personal qualities and her artistic genius, she was a singularly ad-mirable woman and a gifted art-ist. She was born in Bologna and, like Artemisia Gentileschi, was the daughter of a painter of the school of Guido Reni, whose fol-lower Elisabetta also became. From the study of her master she seems to have acquired the pow-er to perceive and reproduce the greatest possible beauty with which her subjects could be invested. She worked with such rapidity that she was accused of profiting by her fa-ther's assistance, and in order to refute this accusation it was arranged that the Duchess of Brunswick, the Duch-ess of Mirandola, Duke Cosimo, and others should meet in her studio, on which occasion Elisabetta charmed and astonished her guests by the ease and perfection with which she sketched in and shaded drawings of the sub-jects which one person after another suggested to her. Her large picture of the "Baptism of Christ" was com-pleted when the artist was but twenty years old. Malvasia gives a list of one hundred and twenty pictures executed by Elisabetta, and yet she was but twenty-five when her mysterious death occurred. In the Pinacoteca of Bologna is the "St. Anthony Ador-ing the Virgin and Infant Jesus," by the Sirani, which is much admired; several other works of hers are in her na-tive city. "The Death of Abel" is in the Gallery of Turin; the "Charity," in the Sciarra Palace in Rome; "Cupids" and a picture of "Martha and Mary," in the Vienna Gallery; an "Infant Jesus" and a picture called "A Subject after Guido" are in the Hermitage at Petersburg. Her composition was graceful and refined, her draw-ing good, her color fresh and sweet, with a resemblance
