Maurice Prendergast, Beach Scene Oil on Canvas, 28 X 40 In Maurice Prendergast, Beach Scene Oil on canvas, 28 x 40 in. (71.1 x 101.6 cm.) New York Private Collection Maurice Prendergast (1858-1924) was born in Newfoundland, Canada and spent the majority of his life in Boston and its surrounding townships. A student of European Post-impressionism as well an early vanguard of American Modernism, Prendergast’s colorful, flattened scenes of leisure and idleness set among New England’s parks and shores are among the most beloved works of early 20th century American art. Through Prendergast’s life he painted dozens of scenes of the beaches and harbors north of Boston—in Salem, Marblehead, Nahant and Gloucester (Figs. 2-15). Beach Scene (Fig. 1), a characteristic example of this genre, shows an assemblage of ladies socializing near the water with their dogs on a fine summer day. In the background a little girl on a donkey is lead along the shore by a man. At the notable 1913 Armory Show Prendergast’s work was denigrated by famed contemporary and principal organizer of the event, Arthur B. Davies, as resembling, “an explosion in a paint factory.1” Beach Scene is notable for its present untouched, un-restored, deteriorated condition in which it was found (Figs 16-35). The paint layer, experiencing flaking losses is in need of stabilization (Figs. 16,17). The canvas was never re-stretched. The stretcher and fasteners date the hundred- year-old canvas. The painting is signed on the lower right (Fig. 16). The signature is obscured under UV light. Howard Shaw of Hammer Galleries has compared the painting with a similar painting in the collection of Hammer Galleries founder, Dr. Armand Hammer.

    Collections: A Journal for Museums and Archives Professionals Provenance Research in American Museums “A Former Director’s Perspective on Provenance Research and Unprovenanced Cultural Property”[1] Dr. Gary Vikan Former Director, the Walters Art Museum Provenance research for a fine arts museum is neither a luxury contingent on adequate staffing with appropriate training, nor is it one of those onerous tasks only to be undertaken when imposed and funded from without. Rather, provenance research is integral to the day-to-day work of any art museum committed to scholarship – a facet of the analysis of a work of art every bit as important to revealing its story as are its iconographic, stylistic, and technical analyses. Such research is especially important for the Walters Art Museum which, perhaps to a greater extent than any other comprehensive fine arts museum in the country, is the legacy of dealer- collector interaction, to the complete exclusion of works professionally excavated in archaeological context.[2] Researching and reconstructing the collection’s past has been central to the museum’s work since it was opened to the public in 1934. My first project at the Walters when I arrived in 1985 as Assistant Director for Curatorial Affairs and Curator of Medieval Art was to oversee the research and publication of a scholarly exhibition catalogue, Silver from Early Byzantium: The Kaper Koraon and Related Treasures (by Marlia Mundell Mango). Its focus was a treasure (the “Hama Treasure”) of unprovenanced Byzantine liturgical silver acquired by Henry Walters from Joseph Brummer in Paris in 1929 which was part of a larger hoard that almost certainly emerged from a clandestine dig near the town of Kurin in northern Syria in late 1908.

  • Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati
    Spring 1988 Nicholas Longworth 17 Nicholas Longworth: Art Patron of Cincinnati Abby S. Schwartz ... A little bit of an ugly man came in...he came forward and, taking my hand and squeezing it hard, he looked at me with a keen, earnest gaze. ... His manners are extremely rough and almost course, but his shrewd eyes and plain manner hide a very strong mind and generous heart.1 These observations made in 1841 by the young artist Lilly Martin Spencer hardly seem appropriate for a man who was among America's wealthiest and one of Cin- cinnati's most prominent citizens. Described by another contemporary as "dry and caustic in his remarks" and "plain and careless in his dress, looking more like a beggar than a millionaire,"2 Nicholas Longworth, however eccentric and controversial, was a leading Cincinnati art patron as well as an outstanding collector and a generous supporter of the arts during the middle of the nineteenth century. Longworth's eccentricities of dress and behav- ior are well documented in photographs, portraits, and anec- dotes. While the Portrait of Nicholas Longworth by Robert Scott Duncanson (1 821-1872) portrays the subject as an important property owner and vintner, the work also docu- ments Longworth's eccentric habit of pinning notes to his suit cuffs to remind himself of important errands and appoint- ments. The portrait, painted in 18 5 8, is on permanent loan to the Cincinnati Art Museum from the Ohio College of Applied Science. An often repeated anecdote details young Abraham Lincoln's visit to Longworth's renowned gardens During the years he resided at Belmont (now where Lincoln mistook the master of the house for a gardener: the Taft Museum), 1830 until his death in 18 6 3, Longworth In the middle of the gravel path leading to a pillared portico, a amassed a personal art collection, assisted a number of artists small, queerly dressed old man, with no appearance whatever offinancially, offered advice and letters of introduction to having outgrown his old-fashioned raiment, was weeding.

  • Ben Mauk, the Rise of the Private Art “Museum” (The New Yorker)
    10/13/2017 The Rise of the Private Art “Museum” | The New Yorker Currency The Rise of the Private Art “Museum” By Ben Mauk May 28, 2015 n the heart of Berlin stands a windowless concrete bunker so awesomely ugly that, I when you see it, you instinctively avert your gaze. It is heavy, gray, and shrapnel- pocked, and has no signage to explain its protean history. Designed by the Nazi architect Karl Bonatz, under the direction of Albert Speer, the bunker was built in 1942 as an air-raid shelter for German citizens. In 1945, it became a Red Army P.O.W. camp. Later, its cool, sunless chambers served as an East German warehouse for fruit imported from Cuba, which is how it picked up an early nickname: the banana bunker. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the building was appropriated for use rst as an avant- garde performance space, and later as a techno club whose low ceilings, dark rooms, and frequent fetish parties led to its designation as “the hardest club in the world.” In 2003, a few years after authorities shuttered the night club, Christian and Karen Boros bought the building to display a portion of their sizable collection of contemporary art. They recongured its hundred and twenty cramped rooms into eighty larger ones, and added an astonishing window-lined penthouse, where the couple lives with their ten-year-old son. Between 2008 and 2012, more than a hundred and twenty thousand visitors navigated through the bunker’s intricate passageways to see the début exhibition, which focussed on the theme of light.

ADVANCE EXHIBITION SCHEDULE August 1986 - September 1987 CONTINUING EXHIBITIONS GEORGE INNESS Through Sept. 7, 1986 Uest Building, Ground Floor Seen in four other cities across the U.S. during the past two years, George Inness represents the first national retrospective of this widely influential late 19th century American landscape artist. The exhibition traces Inness' artistic output from his early assimilation of French Barbizon landscape art through his development of an individually expressive artistic language. The exhibition was organized by Michael Quick, curator of American art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and coordinated in its Washington showing by Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr., curator of American art, National Gallery of Art. George Inness is accompanied by a fully illustrated, scholarly catalogue. GIFTS TO THE NATION: SELECTED ACQUISITIONS FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF MR. AND MRS.

  • Robert Indiana: a Sculpture Retrospective June 16–September 23, 2018 1905 Building, South Galleries and Sculpture Court
    Robert Indiana: A Sculpture Retrospective June 16–September 23, 2018 1905 Building, South Galleries and Sculpture Court This exhibition explores the more than five-decade career of one of America’s most beloved artists, Robert Indiana (American, 1928–2018). A selective survey of Indiana’s sculpture, it also includes numerous paintings, prints, and drawings, highlighting how Indiana’s thinking in visual form crossed different media. This quintessentially American artist returned to frequently autobiographical motifs, symbols, and imagery often after many decades of quiet reflection and rumination, building a corpus of work that ever more meaningfully reflected what it meant to be an American artist—and what it meant to be Robert Indiana—as the years passed. While LOVE will likely always remain the artist’s greatest contribution in the public imagination, his work beyond and apart from this memorable image places Indiana among the great American artists of the second half of the twentieth century. This exhibition introduces lesser-known late works—the Vinalhaven Woods, bronze editions of sculptures from different eras in his career, and the marble LOVEs—to make the case for the breadth and import of Indiana’s achievement. *** Zenith, 1960 Gesso and iron on wood panel Private Collection This small construction is among Indiana’s earliest sculptural works and introduces many elements of his later practice, including the prominent use of white gesso and the incorporation of rusted metal found objects. The circle and diamond shapes also find echoes in Indiana’s later work. Soul, 1960 Gesso, oil, and iron on wood with iron-and- wooden wheels Private Collection Indiana was raised in the Christian Science faith, and although he was not exceptionally religious, many ideas introduced there—for example, the circle as a symbol of eternity or the integral relationship between love and God—found their way into works, including Soul, through the decades.

Ronald Gonzalez: Private Collection Description In Ronald Gonzalez’s latest series of sculptures, old leather satchels, small antiquated appliances, dulled tools, bicycle handles, shoes, a fencing mask, an accordion, a bicycle seat, a toaster and helmets, among other various found parts and outdated detritus are combined to evoke the heads and torsos of human- like forms. The viewer identifies the components at once as what the objects literally are as well as the specific body parts they figuratively describe. As such, his art calls for an exercise in perceptual shifts that allow for more than one visual interpretation. While some objects are manipulated, others are left intact, as Gonzalez creates paradoxically human and strangely inanimate assemblages.

  • American Modernists University of Wyoming Art Museum, 2007 Educational Packet Developed for Grades K-12 Introduction in This
    American Modernists University of Wyoming Art Museum, 2007 Educational Packet developed for grades K-12 Introduction In this museum visit students will view the work of the American Modernists from the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, American artists who began discarding the conventions and traditions of the past in search of something “new.” Personal expression and individualism were embraced as artists forged new visual vocabularies. American Modernists explores the stylistic developments and diverse approaches to the image- making process as American artists undertook to create new art during the 20th Century. History Modernism: Making a Sharp Break with the Old For artists in America before World War II, Europe was considered the center of the art world and it was essential that artists live and study there in order to be successful. In the Post-War years, New York became the recognized art world center. While European art continued to inspire, emulating or copying it and not seeking your own personal voice in your creative process was considered taboo. In 1908, an exhibition in New York would change art in America. Frustrated by the lack of recognition for artists who were working outside the mainstream of the acceptable traditions that dominated the National Academy, eight artists banded together to present their work to the world. Under the leadership of artist and educator Robert Henri; Arthur B. Davies, William Glackens, Ernest Lawson, George Luks, Maurice Prendergast, Everett Shinn, and John Sloan organized their only exhibition together. The Eight was shown in the Macbeth Gallery, drawing 7,000 visitors. The experimental work being created in Paris found its way to the US through these inventive and John Sloan, Burglars, 1903, etching, 4-1/8 x5-3/4 cm, Gift of Mr.

  • How-To Guide: Image Citation
    How-To Guide: Image Citation Students at the Academy of Art University (AAU) follow the Modern Language Association (MLA) format for research papers. This How-To guide provides explanations and examples based on the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 8th ed., which is available at the AAU Library u n d e r the call number LB2369.G53 2016. The intention of this guide is to help students follow MLA format and appropriately credit creators of works of visual art used in their research. This not only helps authors avoid plagiarism and copyright infringement, but also helps readers successfully locate the same resource. Image citations can be confusing at times, so just keep in mind: • The citation of an original work of visual art differs from the citation of an image/reproduction from a secondary source, such as a book or a website. • You may not always be able to find each source detail mentioned in the format guidelines. Just do your best to provide as much information as possible in your citations. • Instructors may have specific requirements for each class. Always check with your instructors early in the assignment to confirm their expectations for your final work. An Original Work of Visual Art To cite an original work of visual art (a lithograph, painting, photograph, sculpture, etc.) in an institution such as a museum or in a private collection, follow this format: Artist’s Last Name, First Name. Title of Artwork. Year, medium, Name of Institution or Private Collection Housing Artwork, City Where Institution or Private Collection is Located.
