Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview JH: JOHN HUMPHREY PK: PAUL KARLSTROM PK: Well, John, you've been associated with the San Francisco Museum of Art for a long time — probably longer than anybody else who's still around — and I believe you go back to the opening of the museum. On this tape, we'll be talking quite a bit about the growth of the museum as you've observed it. And also, of course, you've been in a good position to observe just what has happened in the Bay Area in terms of the art scene. Could you give us a little bit of your own background and just how you came to be associated with the museum? JH: Well, as a matter of fact, I'm actually a disappointed painter who decided that painting was not for him, and so, in terms of the problem of assuring enough beans on the table, I joined the staff right at the beginning of the museum. PK: What year was that? JH: That was 1935, and at the time, I actually was a packer and an unpacker of exhibitions that were being sent in from elsewhere. I helped put them on the wall and acted as one of the guards, so that I began in a very unacademic way in the arts here in the area.

    654 He was listed by the New York Times in 1914 as one of the dozen “notable” artists of Carmel.4 That fall his work was included in the Exhibition of Carmel and Southern California Artists at the Rabjohn & Morcom Gallery in San Francisco.5 A year later the Carmel Pine Cone reported that his paintings were selling well in that city.6 During the summer of 1916 he advertised his studio “by appointment only” at the “Schlingman Cottage” on Casanova Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues.7 He taught art to select students in Carmel, but there is no evidence that he was an instructor at the Arts and Crafts Club Summer School. In 1913 he contributed the painting Coast View to the Seventh Annual Exhibition of that Club.8 As a Carmel resident his canvas was allowed into the award competition for that year. For the Club’s Tenth Annual in 1916 he submitted four pieces: Glow at Evening, Oaks in Spring, Happy Valley and Sand Dune-Carmel. Of these Blanche Marie d’Harcourt, art critic for The Wasp of San Francisco, declared that he “interprets Nature in her most poetical moods.”9 That December she reported that this “modest young Englishman” was hard at work “painting many scenes up the Carmel Valley.”10 In May of 1917 Walker assembled fifteen of his “small and modest” Carmel seascapes for exhibition at the Kanst Gallery in Los Angeles.11 The art critic for the Los Angeles Times, Antony Anderson, found the painter to be “a trifle over-conscientious” in depicting detail, too wordy in his titles and lacking in California’s bright colors, but he praised his drawing skills and genuine emotion.12 In a similar assessment of his “oil sketches” that June at the Schussler Brothers Gallery of San Francisco Anna Cora Winchell, the art critic of the San Francisco Chronicle, observed that the British painter depicted:13 .

Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record.

The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Doris Maslach, dated February 3, 2006.

  • Exhibit of Painting and Sculpture from 16
    *4 HE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK EPHONE: CIRCLE 7-7471 FOR RELEASE SATURDAY AFTERNOON DECEMBER 9th AND SUNDAY DECEMBER 10th, 19i53o The Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, announces an Exhi­ bition of Painting and Sculpture from Sixteen American Cities, to open to the public on Wednesday, December 13, and to continue until January 1, 1934. This is the twelfth American show held by the Museum and includes the work of 119 painters and sculptors from all over the country. An unusual feature of it is the large number of women artists represented; tfoeir works comprise almost one-quarter of the total number shown in the Exhibition. As was to be expected, painters throuajiout the United States show in this Exhibition a growing interest in the native scene. Archi­ tecture, farming, cattle raising, religious ceremonies, landscapes, interiors—nearly all are emphatically characteristic not only of America but in many cases of the sections where the pictures were painted. The regions which seem most artistically self-conscious are the Southwest, represented by Dallas and Santa Fe, and the Southeast, represented by Atlanta. The different sections of the country will be represented in the Exhibition as follows: for the Southeast, Atlanta is sending work by Marjorie Conant Bush-Brown, Julian H« Harris, George Ramey, Robert S. Rogers, Benjamin E. Shute and Douglas Berry Wright. For the East, Baltimore sends work by Simons Brangier Boas, Donald Vincent Coale, Herman Maril, Edward Rosenfeld, Charles Leon Schucker, Selma L. Oppenheimer, and Harold Holmes Wrenn; Boston, work by Frederick Warren Allen, Oliver Chaffee, Joseph Coletti, Carl Gordon Cutler, Howard Gibbs, Jr., Charles Hopkinson, Molly Luce, Charles Hovey Pepper, Mar^arett Sargent, and Vernon Smith; Buffalo, work by Charles E.

  • SEPTEMBER 27, 2009 Presented by the Museo Italoamericano Cuneo: the Museo Celebration of Italian Immigration Begins
    A FAMILY OF EARLY CALIFORNIA ARTISTS JULY 16 – SEPTEMBER 27, 2009 Presented by the Museo ItaloAmericano Cuneo: the Museo celebration of Italian immigration begins HE MUSEO ITALOAMERICANO, HAVING JUST COMPLETED ITS THIRTIETH year in existence, proudly continues to achieve its core mission to sustain and T promote Italian-American art, film, language, and general culture, thereby preserving the heritage of Italian-Americans for future generations. The Museo recognizes that a vital component of its mission is to research, collect, display, and preserve historical material pertaining to the experiences of the Italian immigrants, primarily those who came, and continue to come, to the West Coast and, more particularly, to Northern California. The Museo is therefore dedicating the substantial portion of its thirty-first year to exhibits, lectures, and other activities that focus on Italian immigration. The Museo is most pleased to begin this year of programming by presenting Cuneo: A Family of Early California Artists. This exhibit is a retrospective of the art of three brothers, Rinaldo, Cyrus, and Egisto Cuneo, who were born in San Francisco in the late nineteenth century into a family that had immigrated to Northern California from Liguria, Italy in the 1850s. The Cuneo brothers were fortunate to be born into a family who supported their artistic ambitions. They were raised amidst a newly emerging artistic community in San Francisco that embraced the post-Impressionist movements of Europe. Although divergent aspirations drove them in varied directions across the world, each brother’s life was strongly rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area and the fabric of the Italian- Americans who built their lives here.
