OPENING AT THE GETTY CENTER

Bouchardon: Royal Artist of the EnlightenmentOne of the most imaginative artists of 18th-century France, Edme Bouchardon was instrumental in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism. Much celebrated in his time as both a sculptor and draftsman, he created some of the best-known images of the age of Louis XV. This major international loan exhibition, developed in partnership with the Louvre, is a testament to the remarkable variety of his oeuvre—copies after the antique, subjects of history and mythology, portraiture, anatomical studies, ornament, fountains, and tombs—and to his masterful techniques in drawings, sculptures, medals, and prints.

January 10–April 2, 2017Museum, Exhibitions Pavilion

This exhibition was organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum and the Musée du Louvre. The Los Angeles presentation is supported by City National Bank.

The Sculptural Line Featuring some of the most spectacular sheets from the Getty Museum’s collection, this exhibition presents the role sculpture can play in the art of drawing, as well as the function of drawing in the act of sculpting. Works from the 15th through the 20th century, such as Goya’s Pygmalion and Galatea and Rodin’s Sphinx, as well as bronzes by Foggini, Degas, and Giacometti, illustrate how ancient statuary inspired the work of artists from the Renaissance onward.

Remembering Antiquity: The Ancient World through Medieval EyesThis exhibition of illuminated manuscripts and antiquities from the Getty’s collection explores medieval responses to the classical world. For over a millennium following the fall of Rome, the culture of antiquity was remembered, performed, and preserved through visual arts, ceremony, and manuscript culture. The narratives of ancient rulers and mythic heroes were adapted for inclusion in Christian texts by medieval artists and authors who saw themselves as part of a rich and shared classical heritage.

January 24–May 28, 2017Museum, North Pavilion

In Focus: Jane and Louise Wilson's SealanderWorking collaboratively since 1989, twin sisters Jane and Louise Wilson create powerful, compelling photographs, videos, and installations that explore historical events and architectural spaces that resonate with power. Their Sealander series presents images of abandoned World War II bunkers along the Normandy coastline of northern France. The monumental scale and monochromatic palette of the photographs merge time and space, past and present, man-made structure and natural environment, land and sea.

February 14–July 2, 2017Museum, Center for Photographs, West Pavilion

Concrete Poetry: Words and Sounds in Graphic SpaceThis exhibition focuses on the visual, verbal, and sonic experiments of the 1960s and ‘70s and features work by Ian Hamilton Finlay, Augusto de Campos and fellow Brazilians, foundational figure Eugen Gomringer, and key contemporaries who led the movement in new directions. Drawn principally from the collections of the Getty Research Institute, Concrete Poetry also explores how Finlay and de Campos invented new poetic forms (“poster-poems,” “standing poems”) and continuously reproduced their projects across media, transforming poems into three-dimensional objects and even digital animations.

Chemical Rainbows and Liquid Crystal Souls: The Spirit of Alchemy in the History of ArtExplore the mystifying subject of alchemy with Getty Research Institute Curator David Brafman. Bonding science and spirituality, alchemy was known as the Great Art in medieval Europe, and simply called “The Art” in Islam. Alchemists may be notorious for attempting to make synthetic gold, but their goals were far more ambitious: to harness the powers of creation and transform natural matter into the man-made materials of synthetic artifice.

Wednesday, January 18, 7:00 p.m.Getty Center: Museum Lecture Hall

Provenance: Exposing the Spoils of WarSimon Goodman's book, The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family's Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis (2015), is a fascinating true story.

Secrets of a European Neuroarthistory: From the “Photographic” Art of the Chauvet Cave to the Mysterious Appeal of the Mona LisaIn this talk, John Onians, professor emeritus of world art at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, presents the theory of neuroarthistory, the neurological study of artists throughout history. Until recently, exceptional artistic quality was seen as the product of intense conscious thought, however, new knowledge of an individual's neural formation suggests that such quality may often be more the product of intense looking. Understanding the emergence of an exceptional work of art in any time or place begins by reconstructing what the artist may have been looking at and why—and the conclusions from such a reconstruction can be astonishing.

Strother, Riggio Professor of African Art at Columbia University, explores concepts of masking and masquerading using African case studies in this talk.
