Bob Winquist at Chouinard Art Institute c. 1950Outtakes from a film made at Chouinard, the great Los Angeles art school, by then-instructor Bob Winquist(1923-2008), who taught his specialty, paper sculpture(which he's demonstrating here) and design). Bob went on to have his own design firm and after his retirement served as a design teacher and head of the character animation department at Calarts(formerly Chouinard) in the 80s and early 90s. These are a few outtakes of the original 16mm color film--whose whereabouts are unknown.

Robert M. Runyan: 20 Outstanding LA Designers, 1986Robert Miles Runyan joined the Marines after high school in 1942. He used the GI Bill in 1946 to attend both Art Center for 4 years, and Chouinard Art Institute for 2 years. His first job out of school was at Desmonds Stores as art director in 1954. In 1955, he started freelancing for Louis Danziger, Milton Zolotow, and ended up as an art director for Hughes Aircraft. Runyan opened his own firm, Robert Miles Runyan & Associates in Playa del Rey, California, in 1956. His first account was Capitol Records, designing album covers. Runyan's earned his reputation with his first corporate commission, a 1959 annual report for an LA area military contractor called Litton Industries. This annual report set the standard of quality, which designers tried to emulate for many years, and anointed Runyan as the father of the annual report. He opened a New York office in 1963. Runyan also developed corporate identity packages for such clients as Mattel, Rockwell International and Vuarnet. His firm also designed the "Stars in Motion" logo for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. A book of his work, State of the Art of Robert Miles Runyan, was published in 1983. A keen collector of Americana, his workspace and residence were crammed with items, and a dozen fully functioning gas pumps. To purchase this Documentary, go to www.archbosgd.com Prof. Archie Boston

Allen, Campbell, and Shapiro at LA Louverwww.vernissage.tv | Three exhibitions opened last week at LA Louver Gallery in Venice, California, presenting works by Terry Allen, Rebecca Campbell and Joel Shapiro. More info vernissage.tv Titled "Ghost Ship Rodez: The Momo Chronicles", Terry Allen presents a new multimedia work that includes two video / sculpture installations, a sound-based environment, and multi-paneled works on paper. The basic idea behind the exhibition is a fictional investigation of what may have happened in the mind of French artist, playwright and actor Antonin Artaud during his journey on a freighter in 1937 from Ireland to France. Terry Allen was born in 1943 in Wichita, Kansas. He studied at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. The second exhibition at LA Louver, "Romancing the Apocalypse" presents new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist, Rebecca Campbell. Campbell's subjects are drawn from both nature and the man-made: The paintings show the ephemeral light of rainbows and the radiance of young girls as well as the spectacular light of fireworks and the mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb. Rebecca Campbell was born in Salt Lake City. She earned her BFA at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland, Oregon. Finallly, LA Louver presents Joel Shapiro's bronze sculpture Untitled, 2005-2006 in the Skyroom of the gallery.

PETER SHIRE : CUPSFilm by Eric Minh Swenson. Music by James Lucchesi Lora Schlesinger Gallery presents Peter Shire's Cups, 1974 - 2012 featuring a body of work focused on more than 30 years of ceramic cups, that have never before been exhibited. The show is the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery. It opens Saturday, April 21 from 5 - 7 pm and is on view through June 9, 2012. Peter Shire is recognized for being an innovative and unclassifiable artist. Since the 1970's Peter Shire has been at an intersection where craft, fine art, architectural and industrial design collide. He is not a "traditional" ceramist and his ceramics push the boundaries and preconceived notions of clay. For nearly four decades Peter Shire has made a collection of teapots, cups and other functional items typically found in domestic settings with atypical designs. The works have challenged ideas of form versus function, and have become sculptural objects occupying domestic settings. Cups, 1974 - 2012 is a body of work focused on Shire's interpretation of a commonly used vessel, but are in no shape or form commonplace objects. A few of the works in the show have fragile thin walls that appear as if they could be easily chipped if touched by human lips. Their painterly surfaces and sculptural elements added or removed, give each cup an individual personality and sense of presence. Some of the larger cups have bases, handles and sculptural elements that look like assemblages or collages of ideas sculpted with ...

ARTINQUIRY/The Art of Peter Shire an interview with the Artist with Molly Barnes (2004)Peter Shire has been known to design and build whole rooms ...and palm size angels. Color and wit are combined with line and structure to create a purely magical illusion of practicality. His sculptural steel teapots are anthropomorphic, bridging the delicacy and fragility of insects with the curious appearance of the neo-nearly-scientific. Needless to say, each teapot leaves you guessing, as at the Mad Hatter's Teaparty, whether it might get up and walk away. The drawings capture fresh first thoughts that flow from his creative center. They bridge prewar and postwar California Modernism with a child-like, rainy day wonder. When his conceptual drawings are translated into concrete form, they become objects with staying power vs inspired but evanescent brain wave. In this exhibition, we have the best of both worlds: quixotic drawings and functional sculptural forms. Born in Los Angeles in 1947, Peter Shire cites his artist-father as his first teacher. His education continued with a degree from Chouinard Art Institute in 1970. Solo exhibitions of his work throughout the United States have been mounted continuously since 1975, with international shows beginning in 1989. In addition to his objects in private and public collections, grand and glorious examples of his commissioned pieces can be visited at the Wilshire/Vermont Station of the LA County Metro, the LA County Metro Center Headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, and Elysian Park.

Bernetter DerPaulian studiied at Chouinard Art Institute (now California Institte of the Arts) in the late fifties and early sixties. As an Artist Member and Publicity Chairman of Long Beach Arts, she is primarily a figurative/portrait and sometimes animal artist. Bernette has exhibited locally and won numerous awards. Her artwork is in a number of private collections. "As a child, I entertained myself drawing and painting as most children do, but I never outgrew it. Oil pastels are my favorite medium as drawing and painting work easily together. My interest is in capturing that ephemeral moment in time that tells a story. It may just be about how the light falls on a subject, or the mood and energy that the subject projects." You are welcome to view the Art Theatre exhibit through October 2011.

The Butcher, the Baker and the Ice Cream Maker: Animated Cartoonthefilmarchive.org Paul Frees (June 22, 1920 -- November 2, 1986) was an American voice actor and character actor. He was born Solomon Hersh Frees in Chicago. Frees had an unusually wide four-octave voice range that would enable him to voice everything from the thundering basso profundo of the unseen "Ghost Host" in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland to the squeaky voice of the Little Green Sprout in Green Giant vegetable commercials. He began his acting career in 1942 and remained active for over 40 years. During that time, he was involved in more than 250 films, cartoons and TV appearances; like many voice actors, his appearances were often uncredited. Frees' early radio career was cut short when he was drafted into World War II where he fought at Normandy, France on D-Day. He was wounded in action and was returned to the United States for a year of recuperation. He attended the Chouinard Art Institute under the GI Bill. When his first wife's health failed, he decided to drop out and return to radio work. He appeared frequently on Hollywood radio series, including Escape, playing lead roles and alternating with William Conrad as the opening announcer of Suspense in the late 1940s, and parts on Gunsmoke, (doing a passable impersonation of Howard McNear as Doc Adams for at least one episode, "The Cast"), and Crime Classics. One of his few starring roles in this medium was as Jethro Dumont in the 1949 series The Green Lama, as well as a syndicated anthology ...

CHUCK JONHSON Biographychuck talks about school bioAs a youth, Jones often observed film comedians such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton performing before the cameras on the local streets of Los Angeles. Their timing and slapstick pantomimes strongly influenced Jones's comic sensibilities. He studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, and, after working briefly at the studio of former Walt Disney associate Ub Iwerks, Jones in 1933 signed on as an assistant animator with the Warner Bros. cartoon unit run by Leon Schlesinger. He directed his first short, The Night Watchman, in 1938; like most of Jones's early efforts, it emulated Disney's timing, pacing, and design. Jones's own style emerged in the late 1940s and featured pared-down design, precision timing, and highly exaggerated poses and facial expressions, all of which served to explore the psychological depths of the characters.

Begyndte sine studier som 12 årig ved "The American Academy of Art" i Chicago, senere modtog han et stipendium til Los Angeles Art Center og efter endt uddanelse ved Washington High School Los Angeles der er nabo til Manual Arts High School, skolen som Jackson Pollock studeret ved og videre til Grand View College i Des Moines, kom Lundsdal til Chouinard Art Institute i Los Angeles 1957, som blev omdøbt til California Institute of the Arts grundlagt af Walt Disney i Valencia, Californien i 1970. JACK LUNDSDAL`s første separat udstilling og debut var i 1959 i en alder af 23 år hos Duncan Vail Galleries i Los Angeles samt efterfølgende udstillinger i flere gallerier og museer i Staten Californien og senere i mange Europæiske lande. Men et opbrud i 1966 var trangen til fornyelse og udvikling af bevægelsen abstrakt ekspressionisme samt den samlet ubevidste motivrende årsag til at JACK LUNDSDAL flyttede tilbage til Danmark og byggede sit atelier på Røsnæs. I dag forklarer han at, "Mine udfordringer er som eksistensvilkår med et pendlende blik, fra identifikation til brydninger for det at mase på, komme videre til ukendte sammenhæng i min investering ved stoffet, taget i ed med gestus eller blot signatur".

COMMENT ON chouinard-art-institute
The Chouinard Art Institute was a professional art school founded in 1921 in Los Angeles, California, by Nelbert Murphy Chouinard (1879–1969).
Contents |
Founder
Born in Montevideo, Minnesota, Mrs. Chouinard studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and in Munich, Germany. Believing an art school was both necessary and important on the West Coast, she devoted herself almost exclusively to her school, setting aside her own painting. In 1935, the state of California recognized her institute as a nonprofit educational university.
Students
Among her early students was Anthony Heinsbergen, who went on to become a leading muralist. Also attending, with film careers in mind, were three time Academy Award winner for Art Direction, John DeCuir, Sr.; Randal Duell; and legendary Disney artists such as Herbert Ryman, Mary Blair and John Hench. Every major Hollywood film studio in the late 1930s and early 1940s looked to Mrs. Chouinard to provide the talent pool for their art departments and many legendary film and entertainment design careers were launched under her guidance.
Chouinard was important in the Westcoast art movements from 1921-1972. Faculty and students included DISNEY'S ORIGINAL ANIMATORS (Marc Davis, Chuck Jones, et al.), THE CALIFORNIA WATERCOLOR SCHOOL (Millard Sheets, Phil Dike, Phil Paradise, et al.), SYNCROMISM (Stanton MacDonald Wright), WESTCOAST ABSTRACTION (Matsumi Kanemitsu, Hans Burkhardt, Emerson Woelffer, Richards Ruben, et al.), ARCHITECTURE (Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, et al.), MURALISM (David Alfaro Siqueiros, Millard Sheets, Philip Guston, et al.), COSTUME DESIGN (Edith Head, Bonnie Cashin, Theadora Van Runkle, et al.), DESIGN (Lou Danziger, et al.), HARD EDGE PAINTING (Frederick Hammersley, Lorser Feitelson, et al.), FERUS/ WESTCOAST POP (John Altoon, Llyn Foulkes, Ed Ruscha, Larry Bell, Ken Price, Billy Al Bengston, John Baldessari, et al.), CERAMICS (Elsa Rady, Jun Kaneko, Otto Heino, Peter Shire, Ralph Bacerra, et al.), FILM (Terry Gilliam, et al.), PHOTOGRAPHY (Edmund Teske), SURF/SKATE/ROCK (John Van Hamersveld, Jim Ganzer, Rick Griffin, Ivan Hosoi, Boyd Elder, et al.), LIGHT AND SPACE (Robert Irwin, Doug Wheeler, et al.), CONCEPTUALISM (Jack Goldstein, Terry Allen, Al Ruppersberg, et al.) and GRAFFITI (Chaz Bojorquez).
Merger
Nelbert Chouinard's age and health led to Walt and Roy Disney along with Lulu May Von Hagen, then chairman of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, overseeing a 1961 merger of the Chouinard Art Institute with the Music Conservatory to create the California Institute of the Arts.
The Chouinard Art Institute closed its doors near downtown L.A. in 1972 under what many considered to be controversial circumstances. Walt Disney’s promise to keep the school alive morphed into the awkward realities of closure and transition, removal of longterm teachers, and to some, the neglect of a 50 year body of work unparalleled in art history. An article in the L.A. Times at the time articulated it as a debacle; others considered it evolutionary and necessary. Most likely it was a combination of both.
Then the Chouinard/Cal Arts transition in ’72 had deeper and earlier roots. Walt Disney and Nelbert Chouinard had a longterm collaborative relationship since the 1920′s when she offered Disney, who was low on cash as he funded his growing enterprise, free scholarships in order to train his first animators – now known as the 9 Old Men among others. Their teacher was a former USC engineering student named Donald Graham who would become the longest-running teacher at Chouinard (1929–1972). An excellent draughtsman, his advanced abilities in figure drawing technique and teaching lent themselves well to Walt Disney’s advanced ideas concerning the future of animation. This union produced the radical advancement visible in the early, simplistic Mickey Mouse cartoon’s transition into full-blown animated productions such as Snow White. Disney’s collaboration with Chouinard would continue until his death in 1966, and reached a most critical point in 1955 when he salvaged the school from certain closure.
Through years of administrative problems including embezzlement, the Chouinard Art Institute was several weeks away from closing its doors in 1955 when Disney stepped in. Nelbert Chouinard signed the school over to him, he endowed the new non-profit with ten million dollars, and thus the California Institute of the Arts was born. He promised a hands-off approach which he honored, and which in fact was the primary reason for Chouinard’s massive productivity in the Postmodern movements of Westcoast Pop, Light and Space and Conceptualism which would flourish during it’s last run through the ’60s. Disney had envisioned a new, multi-disciplined school which would be a fertile, creative environment, cross-pollinating a wide range of disciplines from music to dance to art which in fact, began in the early 60s at Chouinard.
What was likely not planned for was his passing in 1966, which led to the usual confusions of transition which Chouinard awkwardly found itself in. Nelbert Chouinard died in 1969, and the school made its way several more years until 1972. This was also a time of great change in the arts. The evolutionary/revolutionary spirit of the 60s was very much alive and change was inevitable one way or another, smoothly or awkwardly.
In the end, the new school known as Cal Arts would find it’s place on Disney land in Valencia and become a world force in art, music and performance – a testament to the enormous creative vision and will of Walt Disney as well as Nelbert Chouinard and Lula Von Hagen, the founder of the L.A. Conservatory of Music which was also part of the new evolution.
Asked how to say her name, Chouinard told the Literary Digest: "Properly, oui as the French for 'Yes': almost shwee-nar'; but generally spoken shu-nard', u as in shun." (Charles Earle Funk, What's the Name, Please?, Funk & Wagnalls, 1936.)
