Stage West - New Jerusalem

It's 1656, and a large number of Portuguese Jews have found asylum in Amsterdam from the Inquisition. There's just one caveat: no Jew may speak of religion to the Christian Dutch. All seems to be in harmony - until Baruch de Spinoza starts airing some pretty radical ideas about God, and it comes to the attention of the city fathers. Now he has to answer for his "crimes" in David Ives' intelligent (and often humorous) New Jerusalem, the Interrogation of Baruch De Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656, which begins at Fort Worth's Stage West on Thursday, January 5. New Jerusalem, directed by Jerry Russell, will introduce some exciting newcomers to Stage West audiences.

Amon Carter Museum - Major 50th Anniversary Acquisition

To mark its 50th Anniversary, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art announces that it has acquired an important painting by Mary Cassatt, Woman Standing, Holding a Fan, created in 1878 - 79. The work is one of only two known canvases painted by the artist almost entirely in the medium of distemper and represents a key moment in her transformation into an Impressionist. "A great Cassatt painting has eluded us until now," says Andrew Walker, director of the Amon Carter. "With her contemporaries John Singer Sargent and James McNeill Whistler, Cassatt was one of the most influential American artists living and working abroad in the 19th century;

REDLETTERPRINTS: Film Is Art And Good Art Is For Everyone.

We say things you are afraid to say about film. We watch the films you are perhaps slightly intimidated to watch, from countries one can barely pronounce and we break it down in 300 words or less. With a background in film from UTA, founder/editor Olivia Reneé Saldívar began her sordid affair with international film at age 14 and it shows no signs of abating. Highly versed in the ins and outs of transcendental Japanese expressionism, South American cinéma vérité or the latest in French neo-realism, both Olivia and co-editor Jonathan Banda list the best from each country so that you get to view the cream of the crop. Redletterprints loves good film and wants to share the love.  

Modern Art Museum - Ed Ruscha: Road Tested

Dr. Marla Price, director of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, is pleased to announce Ed Ruscha: Road Tested. The exhibition, organized by Michael Auping, the Modern's chief curator, will track key images inspired by the artist's long fascination with driving. Since Ruscha's first road trip from Oklahoma City to Los Angeles in 1956, the artist has continued to engage the images he has encountered along the roads of the western United States. This multimedia presentation will feature some of his most iconic paintings, including two large-scale works from the 1960s, Standard Station, Amarillo, Texas (1963) and Standard Station with Ten-Cent Western Being Torn in Half (1964).  

Kimbell Art Museum - CRUCIFIXION by El Greco

Visitors to the Kimbell will have the extraordinary opportunity to view a rare painting on copper of Christ on the cross by the Spanish master El Greco. The painting comes from the collection of Mr. Fayez Sarofim of Houston, who has generously placed it on loan at the Kimbell through early December as part of the Museum's continuing "Guest of Honor" series. The painting is small in scale yet powerful in conception. Christ's limp body hangs from the cross while a mass of dark clouds billows up from the horizon. Adding to the drama of the sky is a bolt of lightning that cuts across the top of the composition and passes directly behind Christ's head.
