In 1959 his family moved to Paris. It was there that he began to attend French and international schools. When he turned 18, he decided to dedicate himself to art, and began to study etching with Henri Goetz, an American artist who ran a school in Montparnasse. He was then accepted at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied painting and lithography. School in Paris was followed by a year in Sweden spent pursuing his study of lithography with Bertil Lundberg, the renowned Swedish print maker. After finishing his studies, he traveled in Europe and Africa and began to exhibit his work. In 1980 he visited New York and settled there, living in downtown Manhattan in the midst of a thriving art scene and occupying studios in Soho, TriBeCa and Chinatown. He would live in New York for nearly a decade, until 1989. New York impacted him strongly and he has said that the first years there were like being back in school – his work went through a total revolution. The second half of his extended sojourn in the city was extremely productive and he had a number of exhibitions in both New York and around the United States. By 1989, he was drawn back to Europe and based himself in Paris.

  • The Authenticity of Ambiguity: Dada and Existentialism
    THE AUTHENTICITY OF AMBIGUITY: DADA AND EXISTENTIALISM by ELIZABETH FRANCES BENJAMIN A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham August 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ii - ABSTRACT - Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical approaches to Dada as a quintessential part of the European Avant-Garde, this thesis performs a reassessment of the movement as a form of (proto-)Existentialist philosophy. The thesis represents the first major comparative study of Dada and Existentialism, contributing a new perspective on Dada as a movement, a historical legacy, and a philosophical field of study.

  • Mondrian and De Stijl
    Exhibition November 11, 2020 – March 1, 2021 Sabatini Building, Floor 1 Mondrian and De Stijl Piet Mondrian, Lozenge Composition with Eight Lines and Red (Picture no. III), 1938 Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Beyeler Collection. © Mondrian/Holtzman, 2020 The work of the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian within the context of the movement De Stijl [The Style] set the course of geometric abstract art from the Netherlands and contributed to the drastic change in visual culture after the First World War. His concept of beauty based on the surface, on the structure and composition of color and lines, shaped a novel and innovative style that aimed at breaking down the frontiers between disciplines and surpassing the traditional limits of pictorial space. De Stijl, the magazine of the same name founded in 1917 by the painter and critic Theo van Doesburg, was the platform for spreading the ideas of this new art and overcoming traditional Dutch provincialism. Contrary to what has often been said, the members of De Stijl did not pursue a utopia but a world where collaboration between all disciplines would make it possible to abolish hierarchies among the arts. These would thus be freed to merge together and give rise to something new, a reality better adapted to the world of modernity that was just starting to be glimpsed. Piet Mondrian (Amersfoort, Netherlands, 1872-New York, 1944) is considered one of the founders of this new art. His progressive ideas about the relationship between art and society grew from the deep- rooted Dutch realist tradition inherited from the seventeenth century.

  • Jews in Dada: Marcel Janco, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Richter
    1 Jews in Dada: Marcel Janco, Tristan Tzara, and Hans Richter This lecture deals with three Jews who got together in Zurich in 1916. Two of them, Janco and Tzara, were high school friends in Romania; the third, Hans Richter, was German, and, probably unbeknown to them, also a Jew. I start with Janco and I wish to open on a personal note. The 'case' of Marcel Janco would best be epitomized by the somewhat fragmented and limited perspective from which, for a while, I was obliged to view his art. This experience has been shared, fully or in part, by my generation as well as by those closer to Janco's generation, Romanians, Europeans and Americans alike. Growing up in Israel in the 1950s and 60s, I knew Janco for what he was then – an Israeli artist. The founder of the artists' colony of Ein Hod, the teacher of an entire generation of young Israeli painters, he was so deeply rooted in the Israeli experience, so much part of our landscape, that it was inconceivable to see him as anything else but that. When I first started to read the literature of Dada and Surrealism, I was surprised to find a Marcel Janco portrayed as one of the originators of Dada. Was it the same Marcel Janco? Somehow I couldn't associate an art scene so removed from the mainstream of modern art – as I then unflatteringly perceived 2 the Israeli art scene – with the formidable Dada credentials ascribed to Janco. Later, in New York – this was in the early 1970s – I discovered that many of those well-versed in the history of Dada were aware of Marcel Janco the Dadaist but were rather ignorant about his later career.

  • Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum
    1 Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum (by Hugh Grant, Founding Director and Curator, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art) Kirkland Museum’s decorative art collection contains more than 15,000 objects which have been chosen to demonstrate the major design styles from the later 19th century into the 21st century. About 3,500 design works are on view at any one time and many have been loaned to other organizations. We are recognized as having one of the most important international modernist collections displayed in any North American museum. Many of the designers listed below—but not all—have works in the Kirkland Museum collection. Each design movement is certainly a confirmation of human ingenuity, imagination and a triumph of the positive aspects of the human spirit. Arts & Crafts, International 1860–c. 1918; American 1876–early 1920s Arts & Crafts can be seen as the first modernistic design style to break with Victorian and other fashionable styles of the time, beginning in the 1860s in England and specifically dating to the Red House of 1860 of William Morris (1834–1896). Arts & Crafts is a philosophy as much as a design style or movement, stemming from its application by William Morris and others who were influenced, to one degree or another, by the writings of John Ruskin and A. W. N. Pugin. In a reaction against the mass production of cheap, badly- designed, machine-made goods, and its demeaning treatment of workers, Morris and others championed hand- made craftsmanship with quality materials done in supportive communes—which were seen as a revival of the medieval guilds and a return to artisan workshops.

  • The Making of David Mccosh Early Paintings, Drawings, and Prints
    The Making of DaviD Mccosh early Paintings, Drawings, and Prints Policeman, n.d. Charcoal and graphite on paper, 11 x 8 ½ inches David John McCosh Memorial Collection The Prodigal Son, 1927 Oil on canvas, 36 1/2 x 40 3/4 inches Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Museum purchase. 28.1 8 The makIng of davId mcCosh danielle m. knapp In 1977, David and Anne McCosh participated in an oral history interview conducted by family friend Phil Gilmore.1 During the course of the interview the couple reminisced about the earliest years of their careers and the circumstances that had brought them to Eugene, Oregon, in 1934. As the three discussed the challenges of assessing one’s own oeuvre, Anne emphatically declared that “a real retrospective will show the first things you ever exhibited.” In David’s case, these “first things” were oil paintings, watercolors, and lithographs created during his student years at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) and as a young struggling artist in the Midwest and New York and at several artist colonies and residencies. This exhibition, The Making of David McCosh: Early Paintings, Drawings, and Prints, highlights those years of his life with dual purpose: to thoughtfully examine his body of work from the 1920s and early ’30s and to provide those familiar with his celebrated later work a more complete understanding of the entire arc of this extraordinary artist’s career. McCosh’s output has always defied traditional categorization within art historical styles. During his life he found strict allegiance to stylistic perimeters to be, at best, distracting and, at worse, repressive, though his own work certainly reflected elements of the artistic communities through which he moved.
