and so he is excited when morse abandons art in order to pursue the telegraph. and, in fact, he's so excited that in 1838 when morse demonstrates the telegraph in france, humboldt is there helping to translate and congratulating morse on being a master in two worlds, in art and in science. so, you've got this connection that is diving deeper and deeper into american ingenuity, american exploration, american literature, american art. and, in fact, a portrait done of humboldt at this time is this one by rembrandt in 1809. what's interesting about this is when humboldt first gets back to europe, he is carrying a letter from jefferson to the medicine of course -- marquis de lafayette. he knows that it is being censored. so this is the letter that's going to get to him unincumbered. what it does is it creates a friendship between humboldt and lafayette. and two years later lafayette will write to him thank you for doing this, we are such good friends. and the third person they are hanging around is simone bolivar who inspires him to go back to his native south americ

humboldt wants art, and church delivers on that. so you get this wonderful cloud bank and the rising moon over here on the right. and church is going to pull that cloud bank and the rising moon out of a sketch of a totally different volcano in the same area. because what church understands is all of this is data. this suite of oil sketches and pencil drawings that he does on site that he brings back to his studio in new york, this is where the imagination fertilizes those sketches and turns them into compositions that are both faithful to the topography but also imaginative in the way they bring features together. so church's first really great picture coming out of south america is tequendama falls. it is this big vertical. it's an unusual format for the artist. it was his largest painting to date. and it is in fact a replica of the journey that church and humboldt took fighting their way up the bogota river to the base of the falls. and, in fact, humboldt writes that he hired six locals to use machetes to hack away the foliage so

in much of the world we cannot gather to enjoy the art live. the creative world we used to know may be hard to revive. my guest is one of the uk's top live music promoters, harvey goldsmith. has the cultural cost of covid been ignored? harvey goldsmith in london, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. back in november you said this, you said almost 50% of events agencies such as your own, i guess, do not expect to survive beyond the end of this year. and if it goes to february and beyond, that is where we are now, 75% won't survive if events have not resumed by then. so here we are at that doomsday month you were talking about. i mean, you're still around, you're still trying to keep your business afloat. do you think you were exaggerating a tiny little bit? not really, not at the time. and i'm not exaggerating now. i mean, we are all of us, we are at our wits end because we can't see a pathway to go forward. it's very hard to get through to government how our industry actually works. i'm very fearful that we will have lost most of the summer with all

museum in part because johnston was a major collector of american art, of native american art. and she gave her collection to the smithsonian, and it formed the basis of the fine arts collection of the smithsonian. but this is also the only sculpture of a woman of a first lady in the exhibition because sculptures were not generally commissioned of women in the 19th century. we can think about sculpture during this period as being something that was reserved for allegorical figures, figures of america, columbia. that was where you saw women being represented. but these were ideal versions of women, not actual women. but johnston was one of these women who really believed in the arts. she was a big supporter of the arts. so she commissioned a portrait bust of herself. you will have noticed that bust over there on the right-hand side and then lots of other kinds of portraiture. and we've really tried to cover all of the different ways that first ladies were represented, both in the 19th, 20th, and the 21st century. so we have paintings, sculptures, silhouettes, photographs, miniat

>> i'm a huge fan of art galleries. so there's a few black-owned art galleries on there that i cherish and i visit as often as i possibly can. so i'm excited to drive more people to discover them as well. >> yeah, i love that you're doing a showcase of representation. and obviously the pandemic has hit many of our small local businesses very hard. the restaurant industry in particular. they are struggling so much. what are you seeing in oakland, for example, as outdoor dining has reopened? >> yeah, you know, i think that in the beginning of covid there was a ton of support for not just black-owned business but small business in general and that started to die out as people started getting into routines, started to enjoy cooking at home more. but it's important that we help these businesses survive through this pandemic and on by being as creative in things like the treasure hunt where we're giving people reasons to patron these businesses throughout the year and not just when the pandemic first hits or during the summer

, a nonprofit public art organization.oney is the group's director. >> we believe that art and design are critical to our public spaces and the cultural fabric of times square, and in turn that the artists, architects, designers and the creative community at lae are really critical to the spirit, well-being and recovery of new york city. >> reporter: the organization invited designers to submit plans for a heart-themed structure. and, in a nod to the past year, t also added a constraint: plywood had to be incorporated in the design. >> across all of our cities, but especially in new york right now and all of our neighborhoods, we're just seeing so much plywood on our buildings and storefronts. and it's this almost contagious symbol of uncertainty and hardship, whether due to the pandemic or due to fear and uncertainty around political unrest. and we wanted to take this symbol and kind of repurpose it, you know, both literally and figuratively, and reposition it as possibly a symbol of hope and solidarity and positivity. >>

conocimiento; no se trata solamente de palabras o libros, se trata de ver a la gente vivir con su artead lo han bordado, y puede sentir; también es una parte de la historia; no solo muestra a las personas que bordaron en ese momento, y que, quizás, ahora sean grandes, pero les da la oportunidad a las futuras generaciones para añadir más detalles. también hay tantas historias, es increíble que no solo fueron dibujados o pintados, en la realidad fueron bordados, lo que toma una enorme cantidad de tiempo, y la consistencia del estilo, de los colores, aún se mantiene en todas estas piezas grandes; obviamente, las personas que conviven con este arte, lo están enseñando a través de esta pieza grande, y es asombroso. [música] para mí es muy agradable ver cómo la gente incluye elementos naturales, y simplemente dejarlos así; por ejemplo, envolvieron masa para hacer tamales, y solo se necesita un poco de carne, y tal vez algunas especias, verduras, y se puede envolver con cierto tipo de hoja, y si lo cocina, así, en la tierra, entonces, sale ahumado, y eso le añade otro sabor; en realidad es un

we stay out of reach to stay safe and live at a distance plain and what effect does this have on us art. we took these questions to germany the u.s. and to south africa. highly contagious corona virus mutation is spreading quickly in south africa the situation is tense even if the long awaited vaccines have finally arrived and the country's hard lockdown has been eased somewhat. it's kind of really bad at this point but i try to keep safe as much as i can one day is a singer in the archipelago is just 6 they have been doing what they can to stay in touch but this is the 1st time this year they a meeting to rehearse going to talk season but i've got to push on the show will be fun is crazy music good to me the music is going to keep the city you know to. me in the past 5 years or so i've spent a lot of time to get was so we pretty much become like brothers so when we are separated from each other for a long time you kind of feel before you ringback. it's to connect with one another again and that in that way means it means a lot to us it kind of encourages us in the certain way i think j

eugene: well, my wife, maria astrid, she's a art teacher at our cultural arts academy: los centzontles. and she was taking a trip to yucatan, mexico, to study mayan embroidery as part of a sabbatical, and she decided to invite two of her students, two 15-year-old girls. and when they were going, i said, "well, why don't you record the trip on some video equipment?" like, you--just hand video equipment--inexpensive. and she said fine. and so we trained everybody just kind of on the basics of the mid-shot and the close-up and the wide shot, and they came back with just the most wonderful material. and we ended up editing it into kind of a travelogue but also a reflection on tradition and just the experience they had. damian: we do have a-- some clip of that, and we're gonna play about six minutes of that documentary in our last segment. but can you imagine, eugene, what those two young students-- what they are left with not only after making that trip but coming home having documented it? eugene: well, i think what it does for them is really and i think that's really important. a lot of

however, the arts connects us to one another. it bridges the gap in our culture by helping us understand each other. they are how we express ourselves during our brightest and happiest moments, and sometimes some of our darkest ones. for people of all ages, arts and culture can help us navigate a world that can be confusing and strange. they can also provide opportunity not only for jobs and income, but for people who are in under served communities to find their voices and to make sure they are heard. that includes the role of our city's poet laureate. since lauren was made our first poet laureate in 1998, this prestigious honor has showcased san francisco's finest poets from many diverse backgrounds. their work has reminded us how it means to be a san franciscan, it reminus -- reminds us of our diversity and calls attention to our most pressing issues and inspires us to create a more equitable and just society. it inspires young people to search for their voice in a way that may not have -- that they may not have thought was po

a deceitful art world staged an officially lush fashion the critically acclaimed film celebrated its premiere at the venice film festival it also stars monica bellucci as the cynical gallery owner. scuse me. this part of the expedition to the us what is it i almost feel like you guys were sort of like subconsciously inspired by the artist. in real life even though why are he tattooed a real guy the work is called him he he turned this human being into a piece of art which inspired to write the script and i feel like yeah that twisted innocence is still in how you guys translated that you know with your visual beauty and the wickedness of the script while christopher was busy shooting a coproduction in the summer of 2020 constantine box was in beirut on august the 4th 2020 the same day the 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded in the port. he witnessed a nightmare up close. and then this mushroom appeared out of nowhere and it took a few seconds before the shockwave hit us but. you know i think the scariest thing was not knowing what's going on as the what the what does this mean for

i think the arts provide an opportunity to experience yourself in an entirely different way. they can move something in us and that it's not about efficiency having a clear her presence or generating profit. with a good singing the cultural sector film all of this is in a sense of prefers they are not essential to keeping my body alive. but it is precisely for this reason that the sector is systemic the important one. only the arts can provide us with this type of experience this movement within us this reciprocity with the world. we need that in a way we needed to live and to survive. get this is there a silver lining to this pandemic for you personally or for us all. if think of us i think we ultimately always learn from crisis. extreme situations give us a clearer view of what really matters in life they help you focus and hone in on what's important but. at the same time we should not make the mistake of artificially projecting meaning on to everything including grim situations. some things are simply horrific and they still happen and we're just glad when they're over. s
