Cattelan

Earlier this evening I attended a book signing @ the Guggeneheim museum for Maurizio Cattelan. He was signing copies of his exhibition catalog for patrons, fans and tourist. After about an hour of waiting in line, I finally got my book signed. Definitely worth the wait for. – YG (@youngglobal)

We’re looking for writers who have a passion for culture.  Specifically, if you’re have a sense what’s new, next and exciting when it comes to forward-looking, global black culture, then Bold As Love Magazine can be your platform.  We’re solid on music, but would like to add a focus on areas such as visual art, literature, theater, film.  Also open to profiling the generation next of tech & business.

News, reviews, profiles, Q&As and multimedia posts are welcome.  We’re looking for writers who can commit to 1-2 posts per month to start.  For now, we can only offer you admiration, fame and glory, as well as exposure throughout the Bold As Love Magazine social graph.

February 2012 marks our 5th year.  We started with a tight focus on black rock, afropunk and other black alternative music.  This year, we produced the first Festival of the New Black Imagination (nbifestival.org).  As a result, we are in the process of expanding the scope of Bold As Love Magazine to match that of the Festival and its vision.

Anyone with questions should feel free to contact Rob Fields, Boldaslove.us editorial director at rob AT boldaslove DOT us.

Study from ‘Life’ (Male Model) by Pablo Picasso

04

Today I spent some time @ the Frick Collection with my friend Yumi who was in town from Geneva. The Frick currently has a really nice selection of drawings by Pablo Picasso on exhibition. I was impressed by one image in particular that was exhibited in the show,  a study from 'Life' (Male Model) by Picasso. 

Having seen a fair amount of art from this period, I found it really interesting to see the subject of this drawing who is clearly of African descent. To be honest, it was actually refreshing to see when you take into consideration how influential Africa was to Picasso, Matisse and many other artists. Now I'm going to do a little digging to find out more about this mystery figure. 

For those who are interested in seeing the drawings live and direct, the Frick on Sundays from 11am-1pm is pay what you wish. Check it out. – YG

Description of the Piece

From casts of sculpture, Picasso progressed to the live model. Here Picasso captures the specific qualities of his subject. The human figure would remain Picasso's primary subject throughout his life.

Ice Cube recently narrated a short film on The Eames House. As part of a celebration of the postwar Los Angeles art scene and Pacific Standard Time, the film gives props to Charles and Alexandra “Ray” Eames who were American designers who helped redefine modern architecture and design. Check out the film. – YG (@youngglobal)
