  3. Mucha’s Epic May Finally Head to Prague, Controversially (ARTINFO)

    ARTINFO – Czech painter Alphonse MuchaÂ’s “The Slav Epic,” an Art Nouveau tribute to the history of the Slavic peoples, is now the source of a major conflict between Prague cultural officials — who want to permanently display the work in a dedicated pavilion in the capital city — and the local government of the provincial town of Moravsky Krumlov, where it currently resides. Government officials in Prague are anxious to move the 20 canvases depicting 20 allegories, composed between 1910 and 1928, from a privately owned chateau about 5 miles from Mucha’s hometown to a building that, according to Agence France Presse, will be completed by 2015 and run by the Czech National Gallery.

  6. Upon Reading "The American Dog at Home" (ARTINFO)

    ARTINFO – Not only do gentlemen and distinguished ladies of the United States “increasingly view dogs as members of the family,” they commemorate them with the kind of portraiture traditionally reserved for war-veteran grandfathers, dauphin-like children, and members of the British court. This, at least, is the message of “The American Dog at Home: The Dog Portraits of Christine Merrill,” a book by William Secord being published this September that will provide a sweeping look at the nation’s gentry — from Oprah Winfrey to conductor Leon Fleisher — alongside their furry wards.
