SUMMARY:J. Seward Johnson Sculptures
DESCRIPTION:Following an early career as a painter\, Seward Johnson turned his talents to the medium of sculpture. Since then\, more than 450 of Johnson’s life-size cast bronze figures have been featured in private collections and museums in the United States\, Canada\, Europe and Asia\, as well as prominent places in the public realm such as Rockefeller Center\, Pacific Place\, Hong Kong\, Les Halles in Paris\, and Via Condotti in Rome. Seward Johnson is most widely known for his sculptures depicting people engaged in every day activities. Johnson’s desire to highlight the mundane in his Celebrating the Familiar sculpture series has brought a unique voice to the world of art in public spaces. \nJohnson is often recognized for his most dramatic work — and also his largest — the 70’ aluminum giant entitled The Awakening. This sculpture was selected for the International Sculpture Conference & Exhibition and is currently sited along the Potomac River at National Harbor in Washington\, DC. This work was profiled in LIFE magazine\, Time Magazine and has become a “must see” destination in the nation’s capitol. In recent years\, Seward Johnson’s monumental scale sculptures have captured the attention of the international media and a global audience. Among these are the 26 foot tall Forever Marilyn with her skirt blowing upwards defying the stainless steel and aluminum materials. Also\, the iconic “kiss” sculpture depicting the moment in Times Square when the sailor and nurse embraced in celebration of the conclusion of World War II.  \nPieces on Exhibit \nGod Bless America (Located in front of Pollak Theatre)Strolling Professor (Located in front of Pollak Theatre)Between Classes (Located in front of Pozycki Hall)  \nExhibited April 8 – August 31

SUMMARY:Order & Chaos: An Exhibit of Selected Works by Jacob Landau
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Monday\, April 11 | 4:30- 6 PM | Library Seminar Room 102\nGallery Hours: Tues. – Thurs.: 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\, Friday: 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.\, Saturday: 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.\, Sunday: 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. \nBorn in Philadelphia in 1917\, Jacob Landau launched his career as an illustrator\, winning national prizes at age 16 and a scholarship to the Philadelphia College of Art. He had over sixty one-person shows and was the recipient of many awards\, including Tiffany\, Guggenheim and National Arts Council grants. Many of his works are featured in permanent collections in the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, among others. A master teacher\, he retired as professor emeritus at New York’s Pratt Institute. In 1996\, he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts by Monmouth University. \nJacob Landau viewed art as a defense against chaos. That all is subject to entropy haunted the artist his whole life. So art becomes a weapon to combat this descent into disorder. And it is a powerful weapon. For “each time we create something\,” Landau has said\, “we win a victory over decay.” Monmouth University’s exhibit “Order & Chaos” demonstrates this triumph. The exhibition features a selection of fifteen pieces. All works are from Monmouth University’s extensive collection of Jacob Landau’s work\, comprising over 300 prints\, drawings and paintings. The collection was gifted to Monmouth University in 2008 by the Jacob Landau Institute of Roosevelt\, NJ. This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Jewish Culture Studies Program and the Honors School of Monmouth University. \nThis event is free & open to the public. Docent tours are available (for times\, contact Professor Noel Belinski 732-263-5425; email: nbelinsk@monmouth.edu). For additional information on the exhibition and other gallery events on the West Long Branch campus of Monmouth University\, please call 732-263-5759 or visit www.monmouth.edu/arts.
