Art Renewal Center -2

 

 

The Art Renewal Center (ARC) was founded in 2000 by a group of artists, art collectors, historians, and enthusiasts, and is chaired by Fred Ross. It is a visual arts organisation which advocates the rejection of Modernism and the current art establishment, in favour of what it defines as the previously established "standards of craftsmanship and excellence". The ARC sees the acquisition of academic skills as being essential for the art of the future.[8] It operates primarily through a web site sponsored by Fred Ross, a millionaire New Jersey businessman and art collector, who is a strong campaigner for its ideas.[1]

 

The web site examines values of art with articles, messages, and a detailed statement by Fred Ross, the ARC chairman.[8] It is a campaigning site that is harshly critical of most modern art, and equally fervent about prior art.[1] The site contains nearly 63,000 images of past works as examples of the art it endorses, as well as listing contemporary artists, schools and studios of which it approves.[8] Particular emphasis is given to the work of French nineteenth-century Salon painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau, who is represented by over 226 images on the site; Ross says that Bouguereau's work is accessed twice as often as any other artist on the site, including such esteemed artists as Michelangelo.[1]
