Episode No. 690 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curators Vivien Greene and Michael Hartman.
With Tracey Bashkoff, Greene is the co-curator of “Harmony & Dissonance: Orphism in Paris, 1910-1930” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. The exhibition surveys a transnational art movement that joined abstraction to dance, music, and poetry and that engaged with ideas of simultaneity across kaleidoscopic pictures and sculpture. Among the artists included in “Harmony & Dissonance” are Robert Delaunay, Sonia Delaunay, Marcel Duchamp, František Kupka, Francis Picabia, and Stanton Macdonald-Wright. The exhibition is on view through March 9. The Guggenheim published an excellent catalogue for the exhibition. It’s available from Amazon and Bookshop for about $60.
Hartman is the curator of “Beyond the Bouquet: Arranging Flowers in American Art” at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. The exhibition looks at how North American artists have made use of floral beauty.
