COOK LIBRARY ART GALLERY Catalogue written by Jan Siesling September 2011 Walter Inglis Anderson (American, 1903 - 1965) will be remembered as one of the most extraordinary American artists of the twentieth century. He was born in New Orleans in 1903, the second of three sons (Peter, Bob and Mac) to grain broker George Walter Anderson and his wife, Annette McConnell Anderson. Annette, a former student at the Newcomb Art College, made sure that arts and crafts dominated life in the family. In the 1920‟s they moved to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where they opened the Shearwater Pottery. Walter participated in the ceramics production of his brothers all his life, but his foremost passion was for painting. Well trained at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, he settled in Ocean Springs as a potter and painter.

  • When Stewart Hitch Breezed Into New York City on His Motorcycle, He Had High Hopes of Making It As an Artist
    When Stewart Hitch breezed into New York City on his motorcycle, he had high hopes of making it as an artist. Fresh from Lincoln, Nebraska, Stewart arrived in Lower Manhattan in 1968. He landed in what was then the largest community of artists the world had ever seen. Bigger than Athens under Pericles and international in the diversity of its inhabitants: this was SoHo; a neighborhood bound by Houston Street to the North and Canal Street at the Southern border, and consisting of unoccupied, abandoned manufacturing buildings with no plumbing or heating. Hitch was one of thousands who claimed these huge spaces for art studios. His first loft was on Greene Street, and it was used as a location in the movie “The Panic in Needle Park” with the, then young, Al Pacino. But Hitch looked a lot more like James Dean. He stood about 5’ 7” with dirty blond hair, low gravelly voice, killer smile, and was made of pure muscle. His tremendous upper body strength came from years of performing the Iron Cross on steady rings, which is still considered an impressive move in artistic and competitive gymnastics. It requires a certain build of muscles (wrist and arms) and technique. Hitch was strong and smart, and you could see both traits in his hands; hands that could have been a surgeon’s, built a log cabin from scratch, or, as he actually did, take apart his motorcycle and put it back together again so he could park it in his loft. He was charismatic and a legend even before he came to New York City.

  • Eleanor Ray: Suggesting Paradise at the Hollywood Roosevelt
    ELEANOR RAY: SUGGESTING PARADISE AT THE HOLLYWOOD ROOSEVELT PAUL MAZIAR | FEBRUARY 18, 2020 Eleanor Ray, Blue Sheet, oil on panel, 6 x 8 inches, 2019 (courtesy of Nicelle Beauchene Gallery). The art world landed in L.A. this past weekend for Frieze Los Angeles, joined by several other fairs and occasioning numerous openings — way too much to see if you’re into the rapturous experience of long-looking. So instead, we opted for a quixotic trip of finding, and looking deeply into, four works from one painter, Eleanor Ray, on view with Nicelle Beauchene’s gallery at the Felix Fair in the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. After twisting through miles of traffic and waiting in what felt like an hour-long concert line, we finally saw Ray’s tiny panel paintings up close. Felix’s labyrinthine layout and swarming crowds challenged contemplation, its displays in cramped rooms rather a disservice to what was on view. But Beauchene’s chamber was the most exquisitely presented, attractive showing at Felix, and a necessary break from the hubbub. Eleanor Ray, Salt Lake Edge, oil on panel, 6 x 8 inches, 2019 (courtesy of Nicelle Beauchene Gallery). In that diminutive Hollywood Roosevelt hotel room, painter Eleanor Ray’s visionary landscapes brought a total calm. Her pale or cobalt blues and tawnier hues invoke the occult, in the sense of unseen spaces of sky and the tranquil, unenclosed lands that affect the mind in profound ways. These four paintings turned out to be perfect for the forced attention that the barn-burner demanded. The experience reminded us of a Simone Weil quotation that Ray sent via email last fall: “In the inner life, time takes the place of space.” But in that room, it was paint that replaced space.

  • 'Southern Abstraction' Is a Compelling View of a Provocative Art Form (Gallery)
    'Southern Abstraction' is a compelling view of a provocative art form (gallery) Published: Friday, June 01, 2012, 1:00 PM Thomas B. Harrison, Press-Register By MOBILE, Alabama — Abstract art “should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed,” said Jackson Pollock. “After a while you may like it or you may not.” Is abstract art something mere mortals are not meant to understand, or is it a form of “visual language” that touches us in subtle yet meaningful ways? Jim Baker of Huntsville, left, and Bobba Turley of Mobile view works by Take a casual stroll around the galleries at Herb Jackson featured in Today's Visual Language: Southern Abstraction at Mobile Museum of Art. (Press-Register/Mike Kittrell) Mobile Museum of Art and study the artwork in “Today’s Visual Language: Southern Abstraction, A Fresh Look.” The exhibit, on view through Sept. 16, is a profusion of odd and eye-catching forms, colors and textures. The vibrancy of this show suggests the electricity of a “live” performance, an ongoing conversation between artist and viewer — and an art form that continues to evolve and re-invent itself.
