SIMPLY THE BEST LONDON - Coverage of the American Dream: pop to the present at the British Museum
www.SimplytheBest-London.tv

The American Dream, a dream of two tales. Shiny confidence but also disillusionment. The American Dream exhibition begins in the 1960s when artists including Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns began experimenting with printmaking. A process that allows easy reproduction and was perfectly suited to an era of mass media, mass production, mass consumerism and the threat of mass destruction.

This powerful show explores the innovative techniques and unprecedented scale, boldness and ambition that made printmaking an ideal expression of America’s power and influence. This medium also addressed contemporary social issues such as race, AIDS and feminism.

The exhibition traces the creative momentum of American art over six decades - from the moment pop art burst onto the New York and West Coast scenes in the early 1960’s, through the rise of minimalism, conceptual art and photorealism in the 1970’s to the works of living artists today.

ART EXPLAINED | David Hockney Billy + Audrey Wilder Polaroid Composite 1982 at Tate Britain.
Coverage by Sarah Phillips, Lecturer Art History and Visual Culture.
www.SimplytheBest-London.tv

British living-legend artist David Hockney used Polaroid film to create gridded multifaceted images that encourage the eye to experience each subject as it builds from its fragments of different viewpoints. Collages assembled from these borderless photographs allowed him to better approximate the complicated, multiple viewpoints for which he had been striving. Through photography, Hockney revisited motifs and subjects used for his painting, from portraits and encounters to landscape and still life.

Robert Rauschenberg was an American painter and graphic artist whose early works anticipated the Pop Art movement. Rauschenberg is well known for his "Combines" of the 1950's, in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations.

Rauschenberg was both a painter and a sculptor and the Combines are a combinations of both. He also worked with photography, printmaking, paper making and performance.

Mother of American modernism, Georgia O'Keeffe, in full glory at Tate Modern.

The most significant exhibition of modernist painter Georgia O'Keeffe ever to be held outside of America. Marking a century since O'Keeffe's debut in New York in 1916, this brilliant and wide-ranging retrospective at Tate Modern is the first UK exhibition of her work for over 20 years.

This highly anticipated show offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for European audiences to view O'Keeffe's iconic paintings of enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and New Mexico landscapes.

A highlight of the exhibition is the celebrated flower painting, Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, 1932, journeying outside the US for the first time since it was acquired in 2014 by Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas for $44.4 million. At the time it broke records as the most expensive painting to be sold at auction by a female artist.

This blockbuster show at Tate Modern is a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with the "Mother of American Modernism”.
