Gustave Caillebotte: Painting Men

Published on April 17, 2025

French painter Gustave Caillebotte’s interest in male subjects sharply distinguishes him from his Impressionist peers. Overwhelmingly, he observed and depicted the men in his life—including his brothers, bachelor friends, fellow sportsmen, and the workers and bourgeois of his neighborhood—and did so in bracingly original paintings that often subverted artistic and gender norms. His distinctive vision of modern masculinity is considered here for the first time in a major international loan exhibition.

This exhibition runs from February 25 – May 25, 2025 at the Getty Center, 1200 Getty Center Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90049.

BACAA/Tony Ryder Intensive Portrait Drawing Master Workshop - Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK 2025

Published on April 11, 2025

BACAA/Tony Ryder Intensive Portrait Drawing Master Workshop  -  Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, UK 2025

Join ARC Living Master Anthony Ryder and the ARC Approved Atelier, BACAA on a five-day drawing workshop at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK.

This workshop is for students wishing to develop a deeper understanding of the classical tradition of portrait drawing. The focus will be on patience, craft, observation, and understanding of drawing principles. Students will learn a practical drawing method that serves as a framework in which to study the elements of drawing. Drawings are built up methodically through a succession of linear and tonal stages. Each stage embodies and exemplifies one or more universal aesthetic principle: shape, curve, form and light.

Included will be a one day trip to London to visit the National Gallery collection. Participants will also visit the Western Print Room (which has an extensive collection of master drawings) at the Ashmolean Museum. Their studio is in the Ashmolean museum and it is an incredible chance to be immersed in the collection.

Home Land

Published on April 1, 2025

ARC Associate Living Master Mark Harrison is holding a solo show of evocative, symbolic landscapes exploring the concept of "home" and it's intrinsic connection to the landscape. The warm glow of light that emanates from each structure becomes a metaphor for the resilience and spirit within all of us set against the backdrop of uncertain futures.

The imagined settings transcend specific locations offering the viewer a chance to reflect on their personal sense of belonging amidst the changing world. Each composition invites an emotional connection suggesting that home is as much a state of mind as a place.

Harrison’s fascination with the vastness of the American Landscape is evident throughout the 15 paintings all employing a panoramic format that add a layer of grandeur and reflection to the themes of home and humanity which together create a series of paintings that speak both to the personal and the universal.

The show takes place at the Abend Gallery, 1261 Delaware Street, Suite 2, Denver, CO 80204 and runs from April 5 -19, 2025.
