  • George Bellows on Monhegan Island
    David Peters Corbett The World Is Terrible and It Is Not There at All: George Bellows on Monhegan Island Painted on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine during the summer of 1913, George Bellows’s small oil on panel Churn and Break (fig. 1) depicts a shore and its surrounding sea. The observer’s gaze encounters a mound of dark, almost black, rocks, which glisten with trails of moisture and light. To the left, the sea, sweeping in a great wave up against the rocks, threatens to overtop the ridge. In the midground, further dramatic swells rise and fall, and overhead, in a dreary sky, Bellows’s paint describes the insistent perpendicular fall of rain. Above the rocks and to the right, a plume of spray, dense and gray and white, jets up in a balletic swirl of creamy pigment. Bellows’s painting uses dazzling mixed brushwork to portray the variety of forms and textures of this scene, from the fluid lines and sinuous handling of the fore- ground sea to the dragged marks that describe the descending curtain of rain and cast a shadowy veil across the distance. The world we are confronted by in Churn and Break seems to fall into two disparate levels of experience: on the one hand, a discrete, self-contained universe of vital but inhuman matter, formed by the crashing sea and mute shoreline; on the other, an intimately human domain, the gestural runs and virtuoso flourishes of Bellows’s hand and brush.1 Despite this apparently radical division, the two levels also merge fleetingly into a single identity.

Distinctions like these involve proportion, or relative size. As an art principle, proportion can direct the viewer’s eye to a specific area or object in an artwork. In this chapter, you will: Explain and recognize the Golden Mean. Identify scale and proportion in artworks. Create visual solutions using direct observation to reflect correct human proportions. Compare and contrast the use of proportion in personal artworks and those of others. Figure 10.1 was painted by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera (1886–1957). At age 21, Rivera went to study art in Europe, where he met Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso. Returning to Mexico in 1921, Rivera rejected what he had learned. He chose instead to imitate the simplified forms of his pre-Columbian ancestors in Mexico. Rivera also became a champion of the rights of the working class. Social themes inspired him to create large mural paintings. His murals, which adorn the walls of public buildings, all have political or historical themes.

  • Bellows, George Also Known As Bellows, George Wesley American, 1882 - 1925
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Bellows, George Also known as Bellows, George Wesley American, 1882 - 1925 Peter A. Juley & Son, George Bellows, c. 1920, photograph, 1913 Armory Show, 50th anniversary exhibition records, 1962–1963, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution BIOGRAPHY George Bellows was born in Columbus, Ohio, on August 12, 1882, the only child of a successful building contractor from Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. He entered Ohio State University in 1901, where he played baseball and basketball and made drawings for college publications. He dropped out of college in 1904, went to New York, and studied under Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929) at the New York School of Art, where Edward Hopper (American, 1882 - 1967), Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 - 1971), and Guy Pène du Bois (American, 1884 - 1958) were his classmates. A superb technician who worked in a confident, painterly style, Bellows soon established himself as the most important realist of his generation. He created memorable images of club fights, street urchins swimming in the East River, and the Pennsylvania Station excavation site and garnered praise from both progressive and conservative critics. In 1909 he became one of the youngest artists ever admitted as an associate member of the National Academy of Design. In 1910 Bellows began teaching at the Art Students League and married Emma Story, by whom he had two daughters. After 1910 Bellows gradually abandoned the stark urban realism and dark palette characteristic of his early work and gravitated toward painting landscapes, seascapes, and portraits.

  • High Museum of Art
    About the High Museum of Art The High Museum of Art is the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. Located in Atlanta’s Midtown arts and business district, the High has more than 14,000 works of art in its permanent collection. The Museum has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, folk art, photography, and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists, and in 1996 the Museum launched its “Picturing the South” program to commission emerging and established photographers to create new work inspired by the Southern landscape. Established in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the Museum’s first permanent home came in 1926, with the donation by Mrs. Joseph M. High of her family’s residence on Peachtree Street. In 1955, the Museum moved to a new brick structure adjacent to the old High house. After 122 Georgia art patrons died in a plane crash on a Museum-sponsored European tour in 1962, the Atlanta Arts Alliance was founded in their memory, and the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center opened in 1968—constructed around the existing Museum. In 1979, Coca-Cola magnate Robert W. Woodruff offered a $7.5 million challenge grant to build a new facility; Museum officials matched and exceeded the grant, generating a total of $20 million. The High Museum of Art’s building designed by noted architect Richard Meier opened to worldwide acclaim in 1983, and it has received many design awards, including a 1991 citation from the American Institute of Architects as one of the “ten best works of American architecture of the 1980s.” Meier’s 135,000-square-foot facility, now known as the Stent Family Wing, tripled the Museum’s space, enabling the institution to mount more comprehensive displays of its collections.

  • Archives Alive!
    ARCHIVES ALIVE! An Introduction to Primary Sources: Art in the Archives TARGET GRADE RANGE: 6-12 OVERVIEW By looking closely at artworks from the City of Savannah Municipal Archives’ collections, students will learn the basic tools for analyzing artistic images using description and reflection in order to improve visual literacy, as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of using art as a historical tool. Students will create a brief story, journal entry, or art piece reflecting on the subjects of the images. What is a Primary Source? A primary source is a first-hand, original account or record about a person, place, object, or an event. Oral histories, objects, photographs, and documents such as newspapers, census records, diaries, and journals are primary sources. Secondary sources are accounts, records, or evidence derived from original or primary sources. Textbooks are secondary sources. Objectives: After completing this learning activity, students will be able to: Describe the subjects of artworks and place them in a historical context Understand the components of an in-depth visual analysis Time Required: 1 hour Topic/s: Social Studies, Art, Creative Writing Standards: VA6.RE.1 VA7.RE.1 VA8.RE.1 Reflect on the context of personal works of art in relation to community, culture, and the world. a.
