Louise Bourgeois' drawings for the La Fabrica Matador series of "Artist Portfolios," originally produced in 1999, are executed on music notation paper using red, blue and black ballpoint pens. In a short statement written for the portfolio, Bourgeois writes: "At first there is terrific tension. Then slowly line, shape, space and color, like notes on a score, begin to form a rhythm."

The Art of Bessie Lowenhaupt: St. Louis Painter features 82 paintings and drawings primarily from two periods of Bessie Lowenhaupt's life when she was particularly active as an artist: the first period from approximately 1898 to 1910 and the second from 1958 to 1968. Bessie Lowenhaupt (1881-1968) at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago at the turn of the century. Throughout her life, she continued her studies in St Louis, honing her art through both art classes and repeated study of the challenges that held her interest. In all that she created, Bessie Lowenhaupt sought to describe the essential nature of her subject by expressing its representative forms. Her focus continually shifted, ranging from the broad overview of life in the city to the minutiae of birds enjoying a festive repast. For Bessie Lowenhaupt, art was everywhere, residing in the commonplace sights of daily life to still life models of the classroom. The St Louis Art Museum has prepared this catalogue as the first publication to bring together the early and late works of a local painter whose modest scale and subject matter an essence both true and inviting.

Schiller, Joyce K.

Soon after Japan was opened up to the West in 1868, a new world opened up to the Japanese painters. In the midst of an atmosphere of rapid change and many new influences, some painters chose to immerse themselves in tradition; some looked almost entirely to the West for inspiration; and still others chose to transcend the past by merging Japanese tradition and Western influences. This last group of artists devoted themselves to the art known as Nihonga. Nihonga selects and incorporates many trends and traditions, from Chinese literati painting to abstract expressionism. This study examines the first century of the development of Nihonga, from the middle decades of the 19th century through modern masterpieces of abstraction and representation created in the 1960s. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Saint Louis Art Musuem, it represents a collaboration of American and Japanese scholars on the art of Nihonga. The catalogue, undertaken with the support of the Japan Foundation and prepared with the cooperation of 80 Japanese museums, corporations and individuals, features 171 works by 61 artists, including framed paintings, folding screeens, fusuma (sliding wood doors), hanging scrolls, handscroll and albums.
