  + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Leah Dolan | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
London CNN —“This is not daredevil stuff,” says 75-year-old fine art photographer Donn Delson as we sit in a helicopter with no door, almost 2,000 feet above London. Donn DelsonDelson, who is based in Los Angeles, began his career as an aerial photographer almost a decade ago. On a trip flying 3,200 feet over Molokai, Hawaii, Delson was captured inside a rare double circular rainbow. Courtesy Donn DelsonEven if he returns empty-handed, Delson believes there is more to be gained from the experience than simply making new work. “The world from above, it’s just so different from the world we know,” said Delson.

To the Editor:Re “The Overlooked Truths About Biden’s Age,” by Frank Bruni (Opinion, March 30):Mr. Bruni was absolutely right to point out that the presidency is not a one-person job. The president needs the right people under him and around him. Joe Biden put together a great cabinet and other advisers quite quickly three and a half years ago. Janis DelsonNew YorkTo the Editor:Like President Biden, I turn 82 this fall. And, yes, we sometimes experience brief memory freezes as the memory bubbles surface more slowly through our brain’s molasses.

☆ Making Art for the Age of Screens
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Susan Delson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
In 1987, artist Gretchen Bender created the installation “Total Recall,” a wall of televisions and projection screens emitting a barrage of nonstop flashing images and sound. The shift to screen life has been decades in the making, and generations of tech-savvy artists have been charting those changes. The new exhibition “I’ll Be Your Mirror: Art and the Digital Screen,” opening Feb. 12 at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (MAM), features more than 70 works by 50 artists, for whom the screen is both indispensable tool and irresistible subject. These works include paintings, sculpture, videogames, augmented reality projects and more the 1960s to the present. The show is structured around themes such as connectivity, surveillance and the posthuman body, in which art and screen “intersect most dynamically,” says the show’s organizer, MAM curator Alison Hearst.
☆ Painters in Search of Transcendence
  + stars: | 2022-12-17 | by ( Susan Delson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
In 1932, the painter Agnes Pelton traded a well-established career in New York for the beauty and isolation of Cathedral City, a desert settlement near Palm Springs, Calif. A few years later, her ethereal abstractions caught the attention of a small group of artists in New Mexico who called themselves the Transcendental Painting Group (TPG). Pelton never met most of the artists and didn’t attend their gatherings, but they saw in her work what they hoped to achieve in their own, and they elected her their honorary president. “Another World: The Transcendental Painting Group, 1938-1945,” opening Dec. 18 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), brings to light this little-known band of philosophically minded artists. The exhibition presents some 80 works by 11 artists who were united in the belief that “the spiritual can be both achieved and expressed through abstraction,” said LACMA curator Leah Lehmbeck.
☆ Exploring Nature in Japanese Prints
  + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( Susan Delson | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +1 min
Last year a print of “Under the Wave off Kanagawa,” the near-ubiquitous image by Katsushika Hokusai better known as “The Great Wave,” sold at auction for $1.6 million, a record for the artist. In the 1830s, when it was made, a woodblock print in Edo—now Tokyo—cost roughly the same as a bowl of noodles. Produced in large quantities for a popular market, these affordable images brought the country’s landmarks and natural wonders to audiences eager to experience them through artists’ eyes. “Human / Nature: 150 Years of Japanese Landscape Prints,” a new exhibition opening on Dec. 3 at the Portland Art Museum in Oregon, presents some 70 of these works, from 19th-century classics like “The Great Wave” to late-20th-century prints by artists in Japan and the Pacific Northwest. “Human imagination has been shaped by nature and the landscape,” says exhibition curator Helen Swift.
