  • THE AMERICAN ART-1 Corregido
    THE AMERICAN ART: AN INTRODUCTION Compiled by Antoni Gelonch-Viladegut For the Gelonch Viladegut Collection Paris-Boston, April 2011 SOMMARY INTRODUCTION 3 18th CENTURY 5 19th CENTURY 6 20th CENTURY 8 AMERICAN REALISM 8 ASHCAN SCHOOL 9 AMERICAN MODERNISM 9 MODERNIST PAINTING 13 THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST 14 HARLEM RENAISSANCE 14 NEW DEAL ART 14 ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM 15 ACTION PAINTING 18 COLOR FIELD 19 POLLOCK AND ABSTRACT INFLUENCES 20 ART CRITICS OF THE POST-WORLD WAR II ERA 21 AFTER ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM 23 OTHER MODERN AMERICAN MOVEMENTS 24 THE GELONCH VILADEGUT COLLECTION 2 http://www.gelonchviladegut.com The vitality and the international presence of a big country can also be measured in the field of culture. This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Center Bridge Burning
    Burning of Center Bridge, 1923 Edward W. Redfield (1869-1965 oil on canvas H. 50.25 x W 56.25 inches James A. Michener Art Museum, acquired with funds secured by State Senator Joe Conti, and gifts from Joseph and Anne Gardocki, and the Laurent Redfield Family Biography The Pennsylvania school born in the Academy at Philadelphia or in the person of Edward W. Redfield is a very concise expression of the simplicity of our language and of the prosaic nature of our sight. It is democratic painting—broad, without subtlety, vigorous in language if not absolutely in heart, blatantly obvious or honest in feeling. It is an unbiased, which means, inartistic, record of nature. —Guy Pene du Bois Among the New Hope impressionists, Edward Willis Redfield was the most decorated, winning more awards than any other American artist except John Singer Sargent. Primarily a landscape painter, Redfield was acclaimed as the most “American” artist of the New Hope school because of his vigor and individualism. Redfield favored the technique of painting en plein air, that is, outdoors amid nature. Tying his canvas to a tree, Redfield worked in even the most brutal weather. Painting rapidly, in thick, broad brushstrokes, and without attempting preliminary sketches, Redfield typically completed his paintings in one sitting. Although Redfield is best known for his snow scenes, he painted several spring and summer landscapes, often set in Maine, where he spent his summers. He also painted cityscapes, including, most notably, Between Daylight and Darkness (1909), an almost surreal, tonalist painting of the New York skyline in twilight.
