  • Let's Go Antiquing: Visiting Round Top Antiques Fair posted on March 10, 2010 01:40:26 am

    Thousands of people from all over the country make the trek to Round Top and Warrenton, Texas for the spring antiques fair. This "fair" is actually a series of shows and flea market fields engulfing these two small towns the first weekends of April and October. Many of the high-end venues open during the span of several days leading up to those weekends, but the flea market fields get revved up as much as a week to 10 days beforehand. I thought it would be fun to share some of the interesting and remarkable things I've seen there in the past. I'll be wandering around there again in a few short weeks!

  • Sprucing Up for Spring: Decorating with Antiques posted on March 09, 2010 05:50:29 pm

    I was really lucky to grow up with a mom who had a knack for merchandising in her antique shop and decorating in our home using really cool old stuff. I watched her use antiques and collectibles in both traditional and unique ways for so many years, it seems to be ingrained in my psyche. Now I'm in charge of continuing her legacy, incorporating things I've collected and inherited into my own home's décor. With spring spruce-ups on everyone's mind about now, it seemed only fitting to share some Tips for Decorating with Antiques & Collectibles.

  • What Does a Klismos Chair Look Like? posted on March 09, 2010 04:19:51 pm

    While the name "klismos" might sound a little space age, the style actually dates way back to 5th-century Greece. It features saber legs and is often found in Regency, Federal and Empire styles. But exactly what does it look like, you ask? Take a look at one of Troy Segal's latest Antique Furniture Glossary entries to see a beautiful example of klismos chair.

    • A Look Into the Invisible
      Image © Estate of René Magritte / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris; used with permission

      De Chirico, Max Ernst, Magritte and Balthus: A Look Into the Invisible recently opened at the Palazzo Strozzi, Florence (where it will be on view through July 18, 2010) and it intrigues me for several reasons. First, of course and as always, because of the paintings in the exhibition. Pittura Metafisica, Dada, Magic Realism, Novecento Italiano and Surrealism--all of which are included--aren't exactly the Comfort Foods of art-historic movements. They're more like eating a small cup of that habañero chili that's too tempting to resist, even though you know it's going to keep you up half the night ... equal parts tantalizing and potentially disturbing.

      Second, it's fitting that this show is in Florence. It was 100 years ago, sitting on a bench in Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, that Giorgio de Chirico (Italian, b. Greece, 1888-1978) watched the sunlight shift on the church facade in such a precise manner that Pittura Metafisica would be born as a movement. The Palazzo Strozzi is less than half a mile away, and who can turn down one of those full circle stories?

      Finally, I keep thinking if I look long and hard enough, metaphysics as it pertains to a visual arts device may become as clear to me as it seemed to these painters. (Not that I am holding my breath. Some us gave up on philosophy after deciding that Descartes' "Cogito ergo sum" was a perfectly good stopping point.) Since we're unlikely to be in Florence together anytime soon, would you care to look at the online image gallery with me?

    • It's Women's History Month
      Image © 2008 Grace Hartigan; used with permission

      A large part of Women's History involves extremely crucial but unremarkable tasks that have no place in the official canon. So when my daughter, who will probably someday make history, elbowed me just now and said, "Ma, do you know the date, even?" I had to check. It seems that I have been both remiss and extremely slow in thinking that it is still February-something. Possibly of 1990. It's all a blur, honestly.

      To begin to make amends, here is Grace Hartigan's biography. I have long admired her work, though felt for her as a mother. She made a choice decades ago that benefited the art world, but deprived herself ... and her son ... of another, equally valuable (to my mind) fount of creativity.

      I have long held that women making art have a tougher row to hoe than do their male counterparts, simply as a matter of biology and nature. I'd be interested in your thoughts, though, since mine are heavily biased/torn between the dueling thrills of making art and motherhood. Care to share?
