- In the fifth episode of “Frick Five,” Curator Aimee Ng interviews Emerson Bowyer, Searle Associate Curator of European Painting and Sculpture, Art Institute of Chicago. Emerson answers our five questions, expressing his admiration for the early twentieth-century French sculptor Camille Claudel. “This is, for me, sculpture at its limit, sculpture on the edge.”

Not being able to visit The Frick is very truing, but the three series: Cocktails with a Curator, Travels with a Curator, and Frick Five are helping to fill in the gap. Thank you.
A stimulating and personal conversation, fun to watch. Inspiration to watch the 1988 film Camille Claudel!
The artists referenced in this episode are:
Gustave Caillebotte
Ignaz Gunther
Adolphe-William Bouguereau
Camille Claudel
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
Wow, never saw this Claudel, thank you!!! I will make a pilgrimage back to Chicago for THIS!!! Bravo
Beautiful choice.
The difference was that Caillebotte COMPOSED!!!! God love him. One of my favorites. I never saw this man at the window. Always loved Floor Scrapers.
Aimee, thank you so much for this very informative and delightful interview with Emerson Bowyer. I have not heard a conversation I have enjoyed in a long time, and certainly not since the Great Isolation of 2020 began. I love these Curator cocktails and travels with the Frick!
So much fun! Thank you!
Aimee you are fabulous!! Thank you for this wonderful interview... how I would love to meet this gentlemen in real life he is a delight!
These videos are wonderful, and I love watching and learning. Thank you.
Great Job, Aimée and Emerson!
Would love to see you do an episode of the Frick Five!
Interesting interview. Not sure I am so crazy about the “Wave,” but to each his/her own. I love Caillbotte though, especially that large painting of Paris on a rainy day. I found it mesmerizing and spent considerable time with it when I was in Chicago.
Love the Frick discussions, but this one made me work hard for the names of the artists under discussion. Lots of googling. Probably learned more, which of course is the goal😊
Entertaining on so many levels 😊
Thanks it was very interesting.
Keep making them and I’ll keep enjoying them. Thanks
What a resource these are! ❤️
Could you write the names of the painters of the first two paintings he mentioned? Great session! Thank you
Gustave Caillebotte.
Bouguereau, over-rated? How daring! Thank god you've helped to stamp that out. I wanted to hear more about Caillebotte, a fav of mine, so interesting, strange perspectives, obviously closeted, often painted men from the rear, incredible close relation with his brother -- the gardens! Too bad you had to talk about your favorite music. "The Wave" looks much influenced by Bouguereau, you're right Aimee.
Thank you!
so much here and so fun
The sound was not clear. Could you show the names of the artists and title of the paintings please?
Young Man At His Window, Gustave Caillebotte
Paris Street Rainy Day, Gustave Caillebotte
Wooden model for "Female Saint of Starnberg", Ignaz Günther
The Broken Pitcher, William-Adolphe Bouguereau
The Oreads, William-Adolphe Bouguereau
The Wave, Camille Claudel
Great talk. Could you list the artists mentioned, please?
Please do not mix art with politics. This is not a good thing. Beauty is truth. Be truthful.
So
