Eighteenth-Century Pastel Portraits

July 28, 2017

Pastel portraiture flourished in 18th-century Europe owing to the medium's distinctive optical properties-its brilliant colors and warm glow. The powdery nature of pastel crayons allowed artists to bathe their sitters in flattering light.

This exhibition draws from a small but important group of French, Italian, German, and British pastels in the Museum's collection. Examining works by Rosalba Carriera, Charles Antoine Coypel, Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, and other leading portraitists, it explores the rising popularity of pastel in conjunction with artistic practices and technological advances of the day.

by Rosalba Carriera
The exhibition runs from July 26-October 29, 2017 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028.

New ARC Associate Living Master™

July 11, 2017

ARC is pleased to welcome Michelle Jung as an ARC Associate Living Master™!

Rocks and Foam by Michelle Jung
"Nature is a major influence in my work. The initial inspiration comes from my experience outdoors painting and observing beauty. It is also a place for exploration and a chance for all my senses to take in information. In the studio, I utilize my experience from the outdoors with critical thinking to construct a composition that conveys to the viewer: sight, sound and mood.Yet, the sense of peacefulness and beauty fill the canvas with balance and harmony. I paint with empathy. I want to paint not only what I feel, but what we feel as humans."
