Tucson Chamber Artists is a versatile ensemble of vocal and instrumental musicians dedicated to enriching lives through the transformational power of classical music. TCA's singers represent the first rank of choral artists in Arizona and from around the country, and it's instrumentalists have trained in some of the finest music schools in the world. TCA accomplishes it's mission primarily through the performance of masterworks and the diverse music of America. Recent performances of masterworks include Brahms A German Requiem, Bach's Mass in B Minor, Haydn's The Creation, Mozart's Mass in C-minor and Oboe Concerto, and Schubert's 'Unfinished' Symphony. Committed to regularly premiering new works by America's leading and emerging composers, TCA has commissioned Paul Crabtree and Stephen Paulus, and has premiered new works every year for the last five years by young promising composers. Approaching it's ninth season, TCA has quickly become a rising star in the American cultural scene. In 2009, the National Endowment for the Arts awarded funding for TCA's American Masterpieces project, featuring works by some of the great American composers of the 20th century. In 2010, TCA's choir was one of three professional choirs, including Chanticleer and the Incheon City Chorale from South Korea, invited to perform at the Western Conference of the American Choral Director's Association. That same year, the journal of Chorus America, The Voice, published a feature article on TCA for it's successes in light of the current economic downturn. In Tucson, the Arizona Daily Star proclaimed as early as 2006 that TCA is 'now in the big leagues...and has grown from fledgling newcomer to assuming a seat at the table with Tucson's larger professional arts groups including Arizona Opera, Tucson Symphony Orchestra and Arizona Theatre Company.' More recently, TCA was lauded as 'arguably the greater Tucson area's finest musicians,' in an October 2010 concert review in which the Star characterized TCA's biggest opening concerts to date as 'a bold pronouncement.' In 2011, TCA joined forces with Tucson Symphony Orchestra and UApresents for a special concert: Remembrance and Renewal: A Concert to Commemorate the Tenth Anniversary of September 11, 2001. The program -- TCA's biggest project in it's history -- featured Mozart's Requiem and the premiere of a new oratorio by acclaimed composer Stephen Paulus, commissioned by TCA and sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy Vanek. TCA's meteoric rise in the current economic climate is due in part to it's immensely popular and unique programming that fuses professional voices and instruments. It is also because of the generous support of TCA's patrons and donors, for which TCA is thankful.

Liang, formerly a game character designer, is now a full time artist, often working within fantastical figurative sculpture. Many have noted the challenge of displaying his work, as each pieces comes fully realized and detailed, 360 degrees of intricate notes from the artist.

"Illustration is an interpretation of an idea." "This has nothing to do with technique - use of color, realism. These are mere tools." "It is not, as some people think, simply a matter of accurate rendering, although the artist has sometimes been reduced to a renderer. With the advent of photography, there was no longer a need for the artist to perform this function, and he shouldn't be expected to. The camera does a far better job." "The artist's reason for existence is the production of an idea. The finest illustrators working today all are people who work with ideas. If illustration is to do anything at all, it must be a part of the total creative problem." "So far as technique goes, the important thing is not to waste strokes. Draughtsmanship has always been easy for me, too easy in fact. At one point Albert Dorne told me, "You'll have to uncreate." "I knew what he meant and had to work it into my way of approaching a creative problem. Now, in every assignment, there is a great deal of preparatory thought. The actual execution of a painting takes about three hours. Few of the drawings take over one hour. Really though, this is a misleading statement. A painting may take ten years... " "... that is to say, it was ten years before I could do it." ~ From an interview with Bob Peak in the September 1962 issue of American Artist magazine.

Funny and whimsical. There are wonderful asides ... It is also poignant. --The New York TimesAn utterly charming book by beloved Parisian artist Pierre Le-Tan, filled with dazzling illustrations and intriguing tales about often eccentric art collectors. Le-Tan, known for designing New Yorker magazine covers and collaborations with fashion houses, summons up memories of inveterate collectors in this lavishly illustrated volume. He evokes fascinating, sometimes troubled figures through insightful and curious portraits. With seventy of his distinctive pen and ink drawings--in vibrant color with meticulous cross-hatching--A Few Collectors opens a window onto the vast or minuscule world created by collectors out of a mix of extravagance and obstinacy. It recounts encounters in Paris, the Côte d'Azur, North Africa, London and New York, where Le-Tan's subjects have amassed a range of treasures. Some involve famed figures like former Louvre Museum director Pierre Rosenberg. Others are insolvent aristocrats, princes of film and fashion, expatriate dandies, and flat-out obsessive eccentrics. Le-Tan devotes perhaps his finest chapter to himself.

ABOUT THIS ARTWORK SIGNATURE Limited Edition prints are numbered and hand signed by the artist. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Prints are sold matted, with an 8- ply rag board and framed. Add approx. 12" to dimensions for matting and framing. ABOUT ANDREA KOWCH A Michigan native, Andrea Kowch cites the Midwestern landscape as the prime inspiration for her work. Kowch's charming, haunting scenes have been compared to the work of Andrew Wyeth and Alfred Hitchcock. Like Wyeth, Kowch paints in a realist style, using rural settings as metaphors for her female subjects' internal states. And as in Hitchcock's films, the scenes Kowch depicts are not what they seem; mysterious plots and backstories seem to lurk below the surface. Kowch's fictive world is both domestic and wild: rabbits nest in women's laps, quails sit in their hands, moths land on their blouses. Even when her characters are inside, the natural world intrudes. In The Feast, three women gather around a table; wind blows through the wide-open windows, while a rooster sits beside their plates, its beak reaching for their loaf of bread.

Museums can be awesome. But let's face it, some of them can also be pretty dull. Which is why it's not surprising that some people get a little bored of them. After all, how many busts do you need to see (no jokes) before they all start to look the same? And frescoes are all well and good, but you can only see so many of them before neck cramp starts to set in.
