New Today from SouthwestArt
A Master of Pastel In the April issue, we profile masters of four different media—sculpture, pastel, oil, and watercolor. Featured artist Lorenzo Chavez, who lives in Colorado, is known for his pastel paintings. He has painted still lifes, portraits, and cityscapes but is enamored with the landscape. "I just get more satisfaction from being in the landscape and painting in it than anything else," he says. "I think it is the meditative quality—to stand out in nature and really look, to just connect with the landscape." Click here to see more of Lorenzo's pastel paintings.

Cine-concert: Art in Motion! with Sharon Louden

ART IN MOTION!   Cine-Concert: Art in Motion! Sunday, March 27 at 5:00 p.m. Andrew Simpson, piano; Barry Dove, percussion Artist Sharon Louden in person Music and animation synchronize and harmonize in 15 playful abstract shorts by classic and contemporary animators. From Viking Eggeling's 1924 Symphonie diagonale, to Jules Engel's 1968 Silence, to New York artist Sharon Louden's 2011 digital creations—all the works presented are "whimsical, drawn-in-space creations that come alive and create their own narratives," as artist Louden describes her own work. Her new pieces are accompanied by live piano and percussion compositions. The older classic works feature their own original scores, intersections of visual and musical forms. (Approximately 100 minutes) www.nga.gov/programs/film/index.htm#ccartinmotion Films are shown in the East Building Auditorium, 4th Street at Constitution Avenue NW. There is no charge for admission but seating is on a first-come, first-seated basis. Doors open approximately 30 minutes before each show time. Programs are subject to change.

March 24, 2011
Winter/Spring Film Series The Red Shoes Friday, March 25 | 8 pm East Building, Museum Auditorium There probably aren't a lot of little girls who will dream of being a ballerina after watching Black Swan. But The Red Shoes is a different story, danced by a young star of the Sadler's Wells Ballet, with authenticity provided by Leonide Massine, formerly of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. The film's fantastical atmosphere is unforgettable. The Red Shoes (1948) Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Moira Shearer, Anton Walbrook, Marius Goring, Leonide Massine. (133 min.) Generations of nascent ballerinas have been inspired by this ravishing adaptation of a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale into the story of an obsessed ballerina caught between a devilish impresario and a dashing composer. Film critic Michael Sragow calls it “ecstatic entertainment.” Technicolor restoration print from the UCLA Film Archive. This film will be introduced by NCSU Film Studies Professor Marsha Orgeron. Upcoming Friday, April 1: The Creative Life series continues with outsider artist Edward G. Robinson in Scarlet Street. Tickets $3.50 Museum members, students, Cinema Inc. and Galaxy Cinema members $5 All others Winter/Spring Film Series Pass Valid for 10 admissions $35 ($25 Museum members, students, Cinema Inc. and Galaxy Cinema members) Please note that film series passes must be exchanged for individual film tickets at the Box Office.
