New Exhibit features, Picasso, Braque, Ebgi and Warhol.

The Courtyard Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibit titled Cubism-Then and Now featuring the works of
Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Amram Ebgi, and the sculpture of Hans Van de Bovenkamp. Also on display will be Enamel Paintings by Goldberg and a new collection by TL Lang from the Jimmy Warhol collection.
Paintings by Ruth Ilg and Haruka Shikiauchi will also be on hand, that display elements of modern cubism. This exhibit will open June 2 from 5pm to 8pm at the Courtyard Gallery located at 9 Walnut Street. You can also enter at 58 Lexington Ave or 13 Carolina Lane.

I n the spring of 1907, Georges Braque visited the studio of Pablo Picasso for the first time. In the years that followed, the two artists, apparently so unlike in background, temperament, and possibly even in aesthetic, became essential to each other, forging a relationship that was part intimate friendship, part rivalry, part two-man expedition into the unknown. The young men were constantly in each other’s studio, scrutinizing each other’s work, challenging, stimulating, and encouraging each other. They went off to paint in different places and returned to compare results. They invented nicknames for each other, shared jokes and pranks, dressed up in each other’s clothes and took photographs. Along the way they invented a new language of painting that destroyed time-honored conventions of representation: they invented what came to be known as Cubism.

The remarkable symbiosis between the two artists and their continued influence of the visual arts is the subject of the exhibition “Cubism, Then and Now,” organized by Carlos Steward of the Courtyard Gallery. “All works are for sale at affordable prices,” says Steward, “and this would be a great time to come and see early some influences in modern art and to start or add to existing art investments.”

The exhibit will be on display until Oct 30, 2006 and can be view between 1-6pm Tuesday through Saturday or by appointment. The exhibit opens in conjunction with the second downtown art walk coordinated by the Downtown Gallery Association. For more information please call 828-273-3332
