New York- Bonhams announces the seventh installment collector Eric C. Caren's voluminous collection of How History Unfolds on Paper, an online-only sale from March 6-14, with an exhibition in the New York galleries March 7-11. The collection begins in the 17th century and covers 4 decades of American and world history, focusing primarily on letters, documents, and printed media.

Highlighting the sale is an Albert Einstein letter written to a young U.S. Naval Officer near the end of World War II (estimate: $100,000-200,000). The young man had written to Einstein relaying a conversation he'd had with a Jesuit priest who claimed he had convinced the scientist to believe in a "supreme intellect which governs the universe." Rather than his usual cagey response, Einstein admits that he has always been an atheist, but that the world is indeed wondrous: "We have to admire in humility the beautiful harmony of the structure of the world--as far as we can grasp it. And that is all." The letter includes its original envelope, and copies of the original outgoing correspondence.

From America's pre-Revolutionary War period, two highlights include examples of patriot Paul Revere's artwork: a first issue of his famous engraving of Boston Harbor, published in a 1770 Boston almanac (estimate: $15,000-25,000); and a rare variant of his even more famous engraving of the Boston Massacre showing British soldiers firing on American colonists (estimate: $8,000-12,000).

An important Revolutionary War highlight is the military commission appointing Benjamin Lincoln as Major General of the Army of the United States, signed by John Hancock as President of the Continental Congress (estimate: $60,000-90,000). Issued in February 1777, the appointment was signed at Baltimore during the brief window of time that city served as the nation's capital. Interestingly, this appointment as Major General (one of 5 suggested by George Washington), provoked jealousy and outrage in Benedict Arnold, who was not one of the 5 promoted, and who nursed a grudge which likely led him to betray his country a short while later.

Further highlights include reportage of Alexander Hamilton's duel with Aaron Burr, providing both an account of the tragic event and printing the correspondence exchanged between the two in the run up. Most devastatingly for Burr, the paper prints Hamilton's message to his family, in which he announces his intention to throw away his shot (and make Burr look the villain) (estimate: $3,000-5000); two remarkable broadsides from the War of 1812: a Baltimore paper's first hand account of the bombardment of Fort McHenry (estimate: $8,000-12,000), and a rare, early printing of the full lyrics of the "Star Spangled Banner" (estimate: $8,000-12,000).

The sale also offers several items of Mormon interest, including a fine copy of the 1830 first edition of the Book of Mormon (estimate: $40,000-60,000), and an 1844 letter from an early church member relaying a first-hand account of Joseph Smith's last words to his flock before his death at the hands of a mob (estimate: $10,000-15,000).

From the realm of sports, the collection offers the earliest known newspaper coverage of Babe Ruth (estimate: $6,000-9,000). In an April 4, 1914 issue of the Baltimore News, as the Babe's first professional season with the Orioles got underway, the newspaper emphasized the young player's prowess as a pitcher, not a batter, reporting that the "St. Mary's schoolboy is going to do plenty of twirling." Not long after this story appeared, Ruth was traded to the Red Sox, who would infamously trade him to the Yankees after only 2 years.

2/25/19 Hungarian born, LA-based Ivan Kamaras lends his voice to Dr. Ruben Brandt, in Sony Pictures Classics breakout hit, Ruben Brandt, Collector

Pronounced: Ivan Kamaras (ee-VAN CO-mo-rash)

LISTEN to today's conversation with Ivan Kamaras!


'Ruben Brandt, Collector' is a sexy, smart art heist film - that happens to be animated. It is garnering incredible reviews worldwide, including Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Hollywood Reporter and many more.

Peter Travers of the Rolling Stone calls "Ruben Brandt, Collector" a "transcendent cinema marvel that re-invents what animation can do." High art becomes high cinema.

Ivan Kamaras voices the starring role of Dr. Ruben Brandt, a brilliant but tormented psychotherapist who desperately seeks relief by possessing the famous paintings that possess him. Encouraged by several of his nefariously-inclined patients, Brandt embarks on a globetrotting spree to steal a dozen 20th-century masterpieces. From Tate’s Picasso in London to MoMA’s Warhol in New York, these are the canvases that terrorize Brandt in mind-bending nightmares. Now as the infamous “Collector,” and chased from museums to private collections, Brandt must face the art that will come alive before him.

Ivan will discuss:

How art is a key to the trouble of the mind
How art heals
Why this stylish action thriller has captured attention around the world


Ivan Kamaras, Star of Ruben Brandt, Collector - Man Behind the Voice


Ivan Kamara's voice of Ruben Brandt in Sony Pictures Classics animated art-heist shares insights on acclaimed Hungarian feature that elevates both genre and relationship to art.




LOS ANGELES, February 19, 2019 (Newswire.com) - “Art is a key to the troubles of the mind,” proclaims Dr. Ruben Brandt. It could also be the motto of Ivan Kamaras’ life, the Hungarian-born star of "Ruben Brandt, Collector."

Ivan Kamaras is the star voice behind Sony Pictures Classics English-language release of Hungary’s "Ruben Brandt, Collector," a genre-bending art-heist indie that is making waves. Mostly hand-drawn, this debut feature film is the six-year opus of Budapest visual artist Milorad Krstic. So original and eye-popping is this high-octane caper that Peter Travers of the Rolling Stone calls "Ruben Brandt, Collector" a "transcendent cinema marvel that re-invents what animation can do." High art becomes high cinema.

Kamaras plays Dr. Ruben Brandt, a brilliant but tormented psychotherapist who desperately seeks relief by possessing the famous paintings that possess him. Encouraged by several of his nefariously-inclined patients, Brandt embarks on a globetrotting spree to steal a dozen 20th-century masterpieces. From Tate’s Picasso in London to MoMA’s Warhol in New York, these are the canvases that terrorize Brandt in mind-bending nightmares. Now as the infamous “Collector,” and chased from museums to private collections, Brandt must face the art that will come alive before him.

“Art helps people, it cures people, it heals people, art is therapy, it’s alchemy, turning toxic thoughts, emotions, or energy into something better, even beautiful and divine,” says Kamaras. It is a conviction long held by Dr. Brandt in his practice, where he uses it with success on his patients, but now, must heal himself. Kamaras continues, ”The therapist must heed his credo, that to conquer your problems, you must possess them.”

"This movie can be as simple as it is surreal,” says Kamaras, “On the surface, it’s a stylish, action-propelled crime story with characters drawn as oddly as those in the stolen paintings -- although we soon accept that a thief can be a four-eyed thief and a socialite three-breasted. Diversity becomes the norm.”

For Kamaras, starring in animation for grownups is new. Now based in Los Angeles, his two-decade career in Hungary spanned theatre, film, and television.

At 23, upon graduating from Budapest’s premiere acting conservatory, Kamaras won the National Theatrical Award for Best Actor as "Othello." Early acclaim led to starring roles on the national stage, including Benedick in "Much Ado About Nothing," Antony in "Antony & Cleopatra," Romeo in "Romeo and Juliet," Stanley Kowalski in "A Streetcar Named Desire," and Brick in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."

At the same time, Kamaras became one of Hungary’s most bankable box office draws. Significant roles in European film and TV series then became springboards to domestic American productions -- including Guillermo del Toro’s "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," "Strike Back," "Die Hard 5," "Spy," "Houdini," and "Fleming."

“This film has a mission, something, that has never been done before,” adds Kamarás "Imagine Picasso and Freud animating Dick Tracy. It’s turning real art into animation and animation into real art. It is brave to make the statement that art can be cool, smart, thrilling, funny, odd and fancy at the same time. It makes it accessible for a younger generation to see paintings without going to a museum and it challenges what we think of as beautiful.”

"Ruben Brandt, Collector" opens in Los Angeles on Friday, Feb. 22 at the Landmark NuArt Theater in West Los Angeles. For a listing of national theatrical dates, please visit: http://www.sonyclassics.com/rubenbrandtcollector/#1stPage

2/25/19 @9:15am pst - aspiring actor Kirk Taylor spoke with Janeane on KUCI 88.9fm!

KIRK TAYLOR

Actor. Singer. Composer. 

LISTEN to today's conversation with Kirk Taylor!

Kirk Taylor hails from New York City by way of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Trained by late luminaries Lee Strasberg, Stella Adler, Clay Stevenson, Elaine Aiken, and Lehman Engel, he earned a BFA from New York University with a major in Drama and a minor in Music. Kirk has enjoyed success in the acting, teaching and music arenas. 

Imagine beginning your professional acting career convincing Francis Ford Coppola that you have a good idea for a scene; then moving on to work with film artists as varied as Stanley Kubrick, Spike Lee, and Charles Bronson. For actor Kirk Taylor, success as a young actor three decades ago gave him the confidence he needed to expand his career into becoming a respected acting teacher and accomplished musician.

Now, Kirk Taylor is finding his “second act” as a film performer, appearing in the new musical film “Revival!,” a new rendering of the Gospel According to John. Produced by and starring Harry Lennix (“The Blacklist”), Taylor stars as Cephas (known as Simon Peter), the apostle who denies knowing Jesus, appearing with an all-star cast that includes Chaka Khan, Michelle Williams, and T’Keyah Crystal Keyman. “Revival!” opens in select cities this December, and is co-directed by Danny Green (“Troubled Waters”) and Obba Babatunde (“Miss Evers’ Boys”), and features a gospel-inspired score by Grammy nominee Mali Music.

A student of both Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler, Kirk Taylor’s life as a performer has found him working regularly in memorable supporting roles in films such as “Death Wish 3,” “School Daze,” “Full Metal Jacket,” and later in acclaimed indie dramas like “MacArthur Park” and “The Angriest Man in Brooklyn.” He’s seen his share of parts left on the cutting room floor, and his name left out of the credits, but that hasn’t stopped Taylor from finding success and praise from all corners, from strangers who recognize him from a key role in a favorite film, to a chance encounter with Sidney Poitier that left a lasting impression.

Guided by his deep faith and a lifelong respect for the craft of performing, Taylor’s resurgence on the big screen follows years of work as an acting coach and stage performer, with Broadway, regional, and off-Broadway credits in both contemporary and classical works. An avid musician and composer, Taylor’s creativity knows few bounds, and the stories he tells about a lifetime of professional work reflect unique insight into the trials and tribulations of a show business career.
