" 'Smooth surfaces, straight edges, sharp curves, polished materials, right angles, clarity and order.' That's how architect Robert Mallet-Stevens described this 1920s villa, which he conceived for fashion designer Paul Poiret. Construction halted when the couturier ran out of funds, but screen siren Elvire Popesco bought the place and hired architect Paul Boyer to finish it."

Untitled, Kara Walker, 1996. (Ink-wash drawing.)
I saw this work by Kara Walker at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond) over the holiday weekend.
"The large 1996 ink-wash drawing, "Untitled," shows what most likely is a house servant about to smother her owner with a pillow. Another woman in the scene, the man's wife, perhaps, stands in the hallway watching with one hand to her mouth. The artist says she imagined the protagonist — a house slave, daughter, or both — as a hero and villain in a 'mercy killing' met with surprise and tacit approval. [Artist Kara] Walker, who is black and grew up in Atlanta, is known for her disturbing cut-out silhouettes, often inspired by Southern romance tales and slave narratives, which typically address issues of race, gender, sexuality and violence. . . . Adding her work to the permanent [Virginia Museum of Fine Arts] museum collection has been a longstanding goal, says John Ravenal, the curator of modern and contemporary art. 'I don't expect any controversy really. In some of her works there is much more overt sexuality or violence. But this represents her interests,' Ravenal says. 'It's a particularly bold piece in terms of the contrast between the black, white and gray. And it makes direct reference to her cut paper [works], but it's a framed drawing.' "

"In a Houston house with Georgian bones and siren allure, the drama begins in a foyer swathed in Phillip Jeffries’s Lacquered Walls in Eyeliner — a long-lasting vinyl that mimics lacquer and 'fools everyone,' says interior designer Rob Southern. For theatrical contrast, the shield-back English hall chairs are painted Benjamin Moore’s White Dove."

"The master bedroom, the only room on the second floor, was angled so that the window across from the bed faces a Nantucket landmark - the 120-foot-high steeple, half a mile away, of the First Congregational Church. 'The steeple is lit up every night,' says the senior Jacobsen, 'and it's something nice to go to sleep with.' "

Architectural Digest (July 2004).
"For his series Jacks, now installed outside the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York, [sculptor Mel Kendrick] created a group of 11-foot-tall sculptures in black and white. The bottom half of each work is a giant block tunneled with holes. On top sits an oversize version of the titular game piece, seemingly (and impossibly) extracted from the base. To some, it's an engaging formal exercise; to the littlest art lovers, a place begging to be explored."
