Living Figuratively: Getting High in the Living Room
January 28, 2021 6:00 PM EST High Walls of Art in the Living Room
Episode 44 takes us back home again to Judy's new and improved, double height living room.
Improved with the recent hangings and rearrangements of large art, hung high.
We'll see where some of Judy's older pieces have taken up permanent residence, as well as some new acquisitions; monumental pastels by Mark Giangaspero. Also featured is an older iconic charcoal drawing by Cleveland's iconic figurative artist and instructor, Marilyn Szalay, all beautifully composed and orchestrated with Country Blues by Max Ginsburg.
She'll also show us what was taken down to make room for this new display…and how eager she is to send these older, monumental beauties to their forever homes…at very reasonable prices!
First in an ongoing and scattered series where we "get high" in other parts of Judy's beautiful home and studio…
chock full of figurative art!

A Couple Historic Announcements

Judy Takács Elected as Member of Historic Salmagundi Club in New York City
This is so special because I basically grew up in art hearing about the Salmagundi Club in New York from my Portrait Teacher at the Cleveland Institute of Art, José Cintron. He spoke of it with a reverence for the artistic giants of portraiture who have also been members since it began in 1871. William Merrit Chase, Norman Rockwell, Childe Hassam, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle…even Louis Comfort Tiffany. The Salmagundi Club positioned itself at that lovely crossroads between narrative, representational art and illustration, at a time when that was going out of favor, they carried the torch.
Judy Takács Elected as Full Member of the Historic Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club
Catharine Lorillard Wolf was a major collector and patron of the arts at the turn of the last century. The CLWAC was established to honor her legacy. Thrilled to announce that I am the newest elected member of this prestigious and selective 122 year old Organization.
