The program, already in place in various schools in Los Angeles County, focuses on four aspects of art education: history, criticism, production and aesthetics. The grants will help the recipients plan regional institutes for teaching the GettyвЂ™s вЂњdiscipline-basedвЂќ art education program in elementary and secondary schools. Institutions heading the consortia are: Florida State University, the University of Minnesota, the Nebraska Department of Education, Ohio State University, Kutztown University in Pennsylvania, the Rhode Island School of Design, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and North Texas State University. Paul Getty Trust, has awarded eight $20,000 grants to consortia of universities, school districts and art museums across the country. GETTY ART ED: The Getty Center for Education in the Arts, funded by the J. ChristieвЂ™s expects the painting of a woman in a chair to bring more than $2 million. The Van Gogh is in a sale of Impressionist and Modern paintings that also offers MatisseвЂ™s вЂњLe Seance du Matin,вЂќ painted in Nice in 1924. вЂњLe Pont de TrinquetailleвЂќ has been in a private collection since 1932 when Siegfried Kramarsky bought it for about $14,400. The Dutch masterвЂ™s 1888 painting of a bridge was shown in the Metropolitan Museum of ArtвЂ™s 1984 вЂњVan Gogh in ArlesвЂќ exhibition.

вЂњLe Pont de TrinquetailleвЂќ is expected to fetch from $10 million to $15 million-less than the record $40 million recently paid by a Japanese insurance company for Van GoghвЂ™s вЂњSunflowersвЂќ but still the second highest price for a painting sold at auction. Both shows are funded by grants from the Armand Hammer Foundation and the Pepsico Foundation.ДЄUCTION WATCH: Another Van Gogh painting is coming on the market June 29 at ChristieвЂ™s in London. The American exhibition is organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service. In return for вЂњRussia,вЂќ the United States this fall will send a show called вЂњNew Horizons: American Painting 1840-1910' to the Soviet Union. 2, is an outgrowth of the 1985 cultural agreement made in Geneva. The exhibition, opening Thursday and running through Aug. Wassily Kandinsky, primarily known for his abstractions, is represented by an early (1909) landscape, said to fit the tradition of Russian landscape painting even though it was painted in Bavaria. The show also focuses on portraits of Russian personalities and realist landscapes. Itinerant leaders Ivan Kramskoi, Vasilii Perov and Ivan Shishkin all have works in вЂњRussia.вЂќ Members of one important nationalistic group were called the Itinerants because of their mission to take traveling art exhibitions to the provinces.

It was a time of industrialization and urbanization, when artists questioned the values of the old patriarchal society while seeking a means of expression free from European influence. вЂњRussia, the Land, the People: Russian Painting 1850-1910' includes 62 paintings by 19th-Century artists, on loan from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the State Russian Museum in Leningrad.ДЄrtworks in the exhibition reflect the turbulent era leading to the Russian Revolution. Now the County Museum of Art presents the home-grown side of Russian art from the Soviet UnionвЂ™s two major repositories of art created within the vast country. When the Soviets loan French Impressionist works from the HermitageвЂ™s collection-as they did last year in an exhibition that traveled to Los Angeles-the event brings front page headlines and record attendance. Long lines form almost daily at the entrance of the HermitageвЂ™s palatial structure in Leningrad. The Soviet UnionвЂ™s most celebrated art museum in international circles is the one that houses its foreign collections.
