D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Frederick Sweet on February 13 & 14, 1976. The interview took place in Sargentville, Maine, and was conducted by Robert Brown for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview February 13, 1976. ROBERT BROWN: Could you begin, perhaps, by just sketching out a bit of your childhood, and we can pick up from there. FREDERICK SWEET: I spent most of my early childhood in this house. My father, a doctor and tenth generation Rhode Islander, went out to Bisbee, Arizona, a wild-west copper-mining town, as the chief surgeon under the aegis of the Company. My mother always came East at pregnancy and was in New York visiting relatives when my father died very suddenly of cerebral hemorrhage. My mother was seven months pregnant with me. Since I was to be a summer baby, she ended up by coming to this house and being a cook and being a cook and a nurse with her there. The local doctor came and said nothing was going to happen for quite a long time and went off in his horse and buggy. I was promptly delivered by the cook and a nurse.

  • Henrietta Shore in Point Lobos and Carmel
    HENRIETTA SHORE IN POINT LOBOS AND CARMEL: SPIRIT OF PLACE, ESSENCE OF BEING by MINA TOCHEVA STOEVA (Under the Direction of Janice Simon) ABSTRACT Shore’s visual vocabulary developed from Impressionism towards more stylized, abstracted forms in her 1920s work, and after 1930 culminated in the textured, detailed and almost tactile drawings produced in Carmel, California. This thesis focuses on the impact that Carmel had on her personal and artistic life. A detailed analysis of Shore’s images of the Monterey Peninsula establishes the connection between her extended visual narrative of the locale and the tradition of written ecocentric narratives. I will consider the Theosophical and transcendental ideas that Shore expressed in her work and relate them to Lawrence Buell’s theory of ecocentric narrative. By unveiling the subtleties of such a narrative and the process of its creation, the present analysis will further our understanding of Shore’s deeply emotional and spiritual attachment to the Monterey Peninsula. More than merely depicting a peculiar landscape, Shore’s late drawings reveal her preoccupation with current literary and philosophical trends, while simultaneously creating an intimate reflection of the artist’s self. INDEX WORDS: Henrietta Shore (1880-1962), Carmel, Point Lobos, landscape, transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson, place, ecocentric narrative, Theosophy, self-portrait, American modernism, Johann Wolfgang Goethe HENRIETTA SHORE IN POINT LOBOS AND CARMEL: SPIRIT OF PLACE, ESSENCE OF BEING by MINA TOCHEVA STOEVA BA,

    The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part II: Rare Illustrated Books and Print Portfolios, ca. 1850-1930 405 titles, in ca. 585 physical volumes The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part I: Art of France from the French Revolution to the End of the Third Republic, 1790-1940. General Reference Works and Monographs on Artists, with a special emphasis on prints and printmaking The art historian and art dealer Eric G. Carlson (1940-2016) was a noted specialist in French and American prints and drawings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A mediaevalist by training (Ph.D. Yale University), and professor at the State University of New York at Purchase from 1978 to 2006, Carlson brought a scholar's acumen to his exploration of lesser-known fields and figures of French art. His library reflects this, being exceptionally rich not just on the major artists of the era, but on the many painters and printmakers who remain to this day little known to the general public. Its coverage of the art of Romanticism, Realism, and Post-Impressionism, with very impressive concentrations on Géricault, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas and Gauguin, among others, is matched by a fascinating depth in the Symbolist and Nabi movements and the School of Pont-Aven, and the myriad Academic and Salon artists, illustrators and caricaturists who flourished between the start of the Second Empire and the end of the Third Republic. The library is unusually complete and sophisticated in the documentation and critical study of all aspects of the period, with rare exhibition and auction catalogues, and scarce early monographs, as well as the latest academic scholarship.

  • Monet and American Impressionism
    Harn Museum of Art Educator Resource Monet & Impressionism About the Artist Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840. He enjoyed drawing lessons in school and began making and selling caricatures at age seventeen. In 1858, he met landscape artist Eugène Boudin (1824-1898) who introduced him to plein-air (outdoor) painting. During the 1860s, only a few of Monet’s paintings were accepted for exhibition in the prestigious annual exhibitions known as the Salons. This rejection led him to join with other Claude Monet, 1899 artists to form an independent group, later known as the Impressionists. Photo by Nadar During the 1860s and 1870s, Monet developed his technique of using broken, rhythmic brushstrokes of pure color to represent atmosphere, light and visual effects while depicting his immediate surroundings in Paris and nearby villages. During the next decade, his fortune began to improve as a result of a growing base of support from art dealers and collectors, both in Europe and the United States. By the mid-1880s, his paintings began to receive critical “Everyone discusses my acclaim. art and pretends to understand, as if it were By 1890, Monet was financially secure enough to purchase a house in Giverny, a rural town in Normandy. During these later years, Monet began painting the same subject over and over necessary to understand, again at different times of the day or year. These series paintings became some of his most when it is simply famous works and include views of the Siene River, the Thames River in London, Rouen necessary to love.” Cathedral, oat fields, haystacks and water lilies.

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

    168 BOOK REVIEWS APRIL and was a major trader in opium smuggled in from the Near East and India. Though some historians have suggested that drug smuggling re- flected racist attitudes, the author concludes rather that it fitted the moral standards of the day. Defense of opium smuggling was defense of free-trade principles. Despite the corruption of government officials which itoccasioned, the Chinese did not have the same antipathy for American traders as they directed toward the British who fought two wars to continue the trade. What Britain attained by war, America gained by diplomacy, without creating hatreds. While they treated Chinese law casually, Americans greatly respected Chinese merchants for their honesty and high ethical standards. Though the outlines of American contacts withAsia have been thoroughly sketched by others, Goldstein makes an important contribution inrelating the social issues connected with the trade to questions of cultural exchange and racist relationships. Some minor carping: the author might have concentrated a bit more attention on the importance of Chinese styles to eighteenth- century Europeans, the era of "Chinoiserie." That Asian culture was in the mode undoubtedly encouraged American interest in the China trade. The archaic spelling used for St. Eustatius (St. Eustacia) was bothersome. Is it George Chinery (illustration opposite p. 36) or George Chinnery (p. 38) ? References to American war vessels as USF Congress and USF Vincennes are confusing. Does the "F" sig- nify frigate ? Ifso, it is a new usage since frigates were ship-rigged ; thus USS serves. Allin all,however, this small study is very well done ;it is well written, very well researched, very nicely and profusely illustrated, very neatly packaged and published.

Hodgson* Université du Québec à Montréal Sociologists, psychologists and economists have studied many aspects of the effects on human creativity, especially that of artists, of the social setting in which creative activity takes place. In the last hundred and fifty years or so, the field of advanced creation in visual art has been heavily characterized by the existence of artistic movements, small groupings of artists having aesthetic or programmatic similarities and using the group to further their collective programme, and, one would suppose, their individual careers and creative trajectories.
