0:00 y gaby woman John me you general atomics chance I swine goblin cultural machine
0:14 woman soy already in Chicago your life when Jack a can shoot how woman chance i
0:20 jus chillin current in labor so this is probably my favorite painting in the
0:26 collection it’s a painting by Brett Emery and his waiting series called
0:32 waiting number 230 I’d really like it because it captures a real sense of
0:39 loneliness and alone s using very simple planes lights shadows and color and it
0:47 really army captures the fundamental experiment experience
0:53 Kevin you and I we grew up in urban settings you grew up in big cities and
0:56 so this scene which captures as you just said alienation loneliness is actually
1:02 very typical in cities and that’s why we really liked it a lot
1:06 the artist jose parla has painted uh families and migration across the world
1:13 and this painting is very interesting because it depicts if you look very
1:18 closely it looks like a collisional forces but if you take a step back you
1:24 look at the swirls the circles in the painting you can actually see harmony
1:30 and energy coming from and that’s what we really like we like Hannah Barrett’s
1:35 work so much we have had to her paintings in our collection on this is
1:39 job and over here it’s pretty dangerous are paintings are colorful their delay
1:46 there was a cold and and at the same time they actually carry a more serious
1:53 message on that of gender identity
1:56 yeah and Barrett I think lives in a very interesting and strange world sometimes
2:01 and you can see in the painting some of the images she paints here for instance
2:06 flowers with pedals are looking like their arms are flexing or arms akimbo
2:10 like this and this actually made me laugh out loud this this man was typing
2:16 on a typewriter know Kathy’s writer so it made me laugh and he’s typing on a
2:20 piece of paper punctuation marks and they seem like they’re floating off into
2:24 space
2:26 actually they often feel that way when I have writer’s block chain gene is a
2:31 taiwan born american artist and his work has been influenced by manga graffiti as
2:39 well as fantasy comics and you can see that in this work here it’s called a
2:43 drip and it’s a painting of a beautiful princess in the middle of crashing waves
2:49 around are very dangerous crashing waves and
2:51 on the theme of what you would think of the Japanese hokusai paintings
2:56 it’s beautiful lapis blue the colors are really vibrant that’s what we really
3:01 like about this we also feel very fortunate to have james jeans are here
3:04 because my daughter Olivia really likes manga and this really reminds her of
3:09 Japanese money we’re really fortunate because we have the opportunity to
3:14 feature to pieces by two of the most influential contemporary artist in
3:19 America elizabeth marie and Jennifer Bartlett this is a painting called deep
3:23 blue sea and you can see in its abstract you know method this coffee cup and it
3:32 can barely contain the beverage inside of it and the the liquid inside the
3:38 beverage almost seems like it’s roaring waves coming over the edge
3:43 this is a picture that wakes me up every morning I follow jennifer Bartlett’s
3:47 painting since the nineteen eighties when I saw a retrospective of hers
3:51 around the Minneapolis area and in this painting is called Earth fireworks and
3:56 it is reminiscent of my childhood actually when we used to go out and
4:02 crowd around the FDR bridge and look at the night sky on july 4th and see the
4:07 fireworks streaming down on us as we look deep into the night sky
4:11 one of America’s great art exports is jazz music and jazz is also one of the
4:18 most expressive forms of music too
4:20 and so we have two pieces one a collage and another one a copy print of a
4:25 photograph that was featured in a very famous life magazine cover in 1966 these
4:32 two pieces use Jazz’s as an inspiration in Lucille nurses singer for saxophonist
4:39 you can see the woman singer at the center of this collage ready to belt out
4:45 a very powerful solo and Louie Armstrong the photo Louie Armstrong you can see
4:54 that he is a larger-than-life personality in a photograph it’s very
4:58 difficult to capture someone in was so that such a big personality and in a two
5:05 dimensional form and so Philip osman the photograph a photographer is able to
5:10 film him or to shoot him at such an extreme angle that he almost seems like
5:15 he’s bursting into the third dimension
