Los Angeles...Beginning 13 March 2016, Hauser Wirth & Schimmel will present 'Revolution in the Making: Abstract Sculpture by Women, 1947 – 2016', the inaugural exhibition at its new complex in the heart of the downtown Los Angeles Arts District. Through nearly 100 works made by 34 artists over the past seventy years, this ambitious undertaking traces ways in which women have changed the course of art by deftly transforming the language of sculpture since the postwar period. Works on view reveal their makers inventing radically new forms and processes that privilege solo studio practice, tactility, and the idiosyncrasies of the artist's own hand. 'Revolution in the Making' explores multiple strains of artistic approaches, characterized by abstraction and repetition, that reject the precedent of a monolithic masterwork on a pedestal, employing such tactics as stacking, hanging, and intertwining, to create an intimate reciprocity between artist and viewer. The exhibition examines how elements that are central to art today – including engagement with found, experimental, and recycled materials, as well as an embrace of contingency, imperfection, and unstructured play – were propelled by the work of women who, in seeking new means to express their own voices, dramatically expanded the definition of sculpture.

Real Men may eat quiche, but do real men do Talk Therapy?
That is the question Jon Foyt's historical novel asks - and answers - in 'The Mind of an American Revolutionary,' the life and motivations of one of the lesser known - but equally significant - Founding Fathers. Extensively researched, Jon's 12th novel tells the story of Robert Morris, an illegitimate immigrant lad from off the docks of Liverpool, who went on to finance the American Revolution - at times with money out of his own pocket - and then ended up in debtor's prison.
Taking place during the Revolutionary years, the novel explores Morris' mind and his emotions, which are relentlessly probed by a persistent mercenary Hessian Major in what today we would call psychological counseling, or talk therapy.
As to the economic reasons for the American Revolution, the author seems eminently qualified to write about business motivations and ethics, given his years in the trenches as an American entrepreneur in real estate, radio broadcasting, banking, and publishing following his business school studies at Stanford. Adding his own personal drama with talk therapy creates the authenticity of this novel.
Foyt became interested in Robert Morris when he was sent by an Oregon bank to a conference at Rutgers where he learned that Morris was the patron saint of banking for having financed the Revolution and starting the first-ever bank in North America.

Author Perry Haupt points to the Bible as the age-old recipe for true success and happy, joyous living among all people in his new book, 'Trashing the Bible: Ancestral Development of America Based on the Bible' (published by AuthorHouse). The title comes from Haupt's belief that society as a whole has 'trashed the Bible' or thrown it away rather than using it for what it was intended: as a means of guidance for the proper way to live.
In 1625, Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens wrote that he was creating an oil sketch of the Three Graces using opalescent gray and warm brown hues— “en grisaille et non couleurs”— thus giving name to the practice of intentional chromatic reduction in painting and sculpture that has become an enduring paradigm of artistic practice to the present day.
