  Art Bears - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Art Bears formed out of what was left of the disassembly of the progressive rock group Henry Cow in 1978.
The band at its fullest was a trio composed of Fred Frith on guitar, bass, violin, and keyboards, Chris Cutler on percussion, electronics, and lyrics, and Dagmar Krause on vocals.
Art Bears were more "song oriented" than Henry Cow, although much of the material that comprised their debut album release was actually written with the intention of being performed by the latter band.

 * Dusted Reviews - Art Bears *
While Art Bears may have risen out of the ashes of Henry Cow, it would be hard to contend that they ever left the shadows left by their spot-lit progenitors.
Art Bears were only in existence for two years, and their three albums represent a distinctly transitional phase as the Bear constituency began to move toward their own massive individual reputations.
Where Krause was relatively reined in with her previous work for Slapp Happy, Art Bears were direly committed to an agenda of experimental progressivism, and despite its implementation of song structures, never seemed interested in exploring the same cynical and sarcastic melodic territory of Slapp Happy.

Here ART BEARS forage even more boldly into aspects of using the recording studio as a compositional instrument : A tape of a lawnmower is slowed down several steps to convincingly create the sounds of machine-gun fire and bombs.
ART BEARS REVISITED : As the years passed and technology marched on, the band decided to let some other artists (all of whom are well-known for their advanced focus on music thru innovation) to remix the three original albums.
It harkens the Art Bears trilogy into a new era of technology, aesthetic and sound, all of which had yet to be introduced back when the albums were made.

 The Art Bears - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
Frith and Cutler were longtime members of the seminal English radical political avant-garde art rock band Henry Cow, while Krause sang primarily with the fine German band Slapp Happy and in Henry Cow's latter years.
The Art Bears were intended as a short-term project, but, even so, their three-year existence resulted in three excellent albums that relied more on shorter, more traditional, almost pop-oriented song forms than huge, complex musical and lyrical extrapolations.
Their life was fleeting, but the Art Bears wrote and recorded bold, challenging, idiosyncratic music that, despite its occasional difficulty, is ultimately very rewarding.

 Jacques Maritain Center: Art and Scholasticism 8
[141] Christian art is defined by the one in whom it exists and by the spirit from which it issues: one says "Christian art" or the "art of a Christian," as one says the "art of the bee" or the "art of man." It is the art of redeemed humanity.
For the virtue of art which reaches it and rules it directly, presupposes that the appetite is rightly disposed with regard to the beauty of the work.
Even now this art seems to herald itself in the individual effort of certain artists and poets over the past fifty years, some of whom are to be reckoned among the greatest.

 Chris Cutler / Art Bears interview
In the short time they existed, between 1978 and 1980, the Art Bears - Chris Cutler, Fred Frith and Dagmar Krause, with the invaluable assistance of engineer Etienne Conod - produced three very fine LPs: Hopes And Fears, Winter Songs and The World As It Is Today.
Even today, when individualism is rampant, Art Bears traces of its collective, social origin‚ but not too much should be read into this; it just sounds intriguing, has an animal in it, plays with ambiguity and is mildly ridiculous.

 Hopes & Fears by Art Bears CD
Art Bears: Dagmar Krause (vocals); Fred Frith (guitar, violin, viola, piano, harmonium, xylophone, bass instrument); Chris Cutler (drums, electronic drums, percussion).
HOPES AND FEARS is the first of three releases by the Art Bears, a band that emerged from the ashes of Henry Cow.
Krause's vocals, with her strong Germanic accent, give these songs a dramatic bearing; they are at once tradition cabaret presentations and modern experimental pieces.

 Tentative Review by The Christopher Currie: Art Bears - Winter Songs
Such observers must surely have felt vindicated when the Art Bears grew out of the collapse of both bands, a few years later.
The album is strongly recommended to adventurous fans, though the inscrutable nature of some thematic variants may frustrate some listeners (obviously, those initiated in the secrets of Cocteau's grave or caught in eternal battle against the legacy of Clement V will feel perfectly at home).
This is easily the most curious of the Art Bears releases; a case could be made that it's the best of the three as well.

 Ground and Sky review - Art Bears - Hopes and Fears
Of all the avant-progressive music out there, it would seem that Art Bears could be one of the most easily accessible, but for some reason they aren't.
I only dared experiment with the Art Bears, yet another Cow-related output married with Dagmar's voice was too enticing to pass up.
Art Bears uses the instrumentation of Henry Cow with a minimalist approach, and capitalizes on Dagmar's astounding vocal capability, with this, their debut, being the most dynamic and, in my opinion, their best.

 Art Bears: Art Box: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Krause brought a highly distinctive vocal presence to the band, one both wildly idiosyncratic (witness her various shrieks, growls and unclassifiable utterances throughout the Art Bears catalog) and schooled in traditional European art songs, particularly those of Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht.
Cutler had a concept for the record, which would be the first recording made from scratch with Art Bears in mind: His words were based on bas-reliefs (three-dimensional figures carved into wood or stone) from the Central Porch of Amiens Cathedral.
However, this band is well deserving of the deluxe reissue treatment: Art Bears not only spoke for the best of the canon, but their music also sounds almost as ahead of the curve today as it did twenty years ago.

The result was the dissolution of Henry Cow, with the longer pieces being released as Henry Cow's Western Culture and the shorter vocal tracks being released as the first Art Bears album, Hopes and Fears.
While much of the Art Bears' later work seems cool at first but gets less interesting with successive listens, this one just keeps getting better.
Overall, I'd have to say that this is my least favorite Art Bears album, without the compelling eclecticism of Hopes and Fears or the sarcastic solidity of The World As It Is Today.

 BBC - Experimental Review - Art Bears, The Art Box
Their three albums tackle different themes; the first, Hopes and Fears is the loosest as a concept, mixing Brechtian observation (a cover of his "On Suicide" opens the record), political allegory and RD Laing-inspired studies of schizophrenia.
The live tracks are of much more interest and prove that an expanded Bears lineup (including Peter Blegvad) was capable of performing songs that were never meant to be performed; Frith's sour, ecstatic soloing on the coda to "Man and Boy" is a highlight.
It must be said that the Bears may not be to everyone's taste; even as a fully paid up member of the Avant Prog tendency, it took me a long time to come to terms with them.
