Episode No. 642 features curator Simon Kelly and artist Marc Bauer. Kelly is the curator of <a href= "https://www.slam.org/exhibitions/matisse-and-the-sea/">"Matisse and the Sea,"</a> at the Saint Louis Art Museum through May 12. The exhibition examines the significance of the sea across Matisse's oeuvre. It especially examines SLAM's own 1907-08 Bathers with a Turtle, long considered one of Matisse's most challenging, enigmatic paintings. The excellent exhibition catalogue was published by the museum and Hirmer. <a href= "https://amzn.to/49ohJsu">Amazon</a> and <a href= "https://bookshop.org/p/books/matisse-and-the-sea-simon-kelly/20631671?ean=9783777442693"> Bookshop</a> offer it for about $45. <a href="https://marcbauer.net/">Bauer</a> is showing a 36-foot-wide charcoal and pastel mural titled RESILIENCE, Drawing the Line, 2023 in the latest installment of <a href= "https://www.menil.org/exhibitions/372-wall-drawing-series-marc-bauer"> The Menil Collection's wall drawing series.</a> The work adapts imagery from art history with cultural references specific to global and Houston-specific events. For this work Bauer is trying something new: he's repeatedly modifying the work over the course of its year-long display. It will be on view through this summer. Bauer was the 2020 recipient of the Prix Meret Oppenheim, Switzerland's most prestigious art award. His work is in the collections of museums such as the Centre Pompidou, Paris, and the Museum Folkwang, Essen, and he was included in the 2022 Congo Biennial in Kinshasa.
