  • John Quinn, Art Advocate
    John Quinn, Art Advocate Introduction Today I’m going to talk briefly about John Quinn (fig. 1), a New York lawyer who, in his spare time and with income derived from a highly-successful law practice, became “the twentieth century’s most important patron of living literature and art.”1 Nicknamed “The Noble Buyer” for his solicitude for artists as much as for the depth of his pocketbook, Quinn would amass an unsurpassed collection of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American and European art. At its zenith, the collection con- tained more than 2,500 works of art, including works by Con- stantin Brancusi, Paul Cézanne, André Derain, Marcel Du- champ, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Paul Gaugin, Juan Gris, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Georges Rouault, Henri Rousseau, Georges Seurat, and Vincent van Gogh.2 More than a collector, Quinn represented artists and art associa- tions in all types of legal matters. The most far-reaching of these en- gagements was Quinn’s successful fight for repeal of a tariff on im- 1 ALINE B.

Davies American painter and printmaker, 1862–1928 Arthur Bowen Davies was an influential painter, printmaker, and advocate for modern art in the United States. Born in Utica, New York, Davies was interested in art from a young age. He studied in Chicago before moving to New York City to study at the Art Students League. Davies favorite subjects were nudes and dreamy images of women in the landscape, and his work sold well. He was represented by William Macbeth, a leading dealer of American art in New York. Despite his success, he was not part of the powerful National Academy of Design. In 1908, he joined with seven other painters--John Sloan, Robert Henri, George Luks, Everett Shinn, William Glackens, Maurice Prendergast, and Ernest Lawson--to mount an exhibition in protest to the conservative policies of the National Academy. It became known as the exhibition of the Eight and was held at Macbeth Gallery.

  • Walt Kuhn & American Modernism
    Walt Kuhn & American Modernism 80.15, Walt Kuhn (1877-1949), Floral Still Life, oil, 1920, Gift of Mrs. John D. West 89.8.2, Walt Kuhn (1877-1949), Pink Blossom, oil, 1920, Gift of Mrs. John D. West. These two paintings were created by the same artist, in the same year, and have basically the same subject matter, yet they are extremely different. Take a moment to look closely at them. How did the artist use paint to create shapes and space in each work? What is the overall emotional impact of these styles? Walt Kuhn was an artist during in the development of American Modernism: the breaking away of American artists from working in the traditional, realistic style of the academy with an emphasis on creating beauty. The new pieces began experimenting with abstraction of image: altering aspects of the subject so it looks different than to what it looks like in “real” life. Abstraction can be achieved in many ways, by using non-naturalistic color, exaggerating scale of some aspects of a subject, or by flattening the forms into two dimensional shapes and breaking the subject down into essential lines and shapes. On the left, Kuhn works in a traditional style of painting. The colors of the subject are true to life and generally depicted in a realistic style. One could argue he has been influenced a bit by the loose brushwork of the Impressionists, but overall the painting is quite traditional and depicts depth and texture one would expect from a still-life of flowers. On the right, the background has been reduced to flat areas of color.

  • Still Modern, After 100 Years
    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 29, Number 5 Thursday, February 7, 2013 Still Modern, After 100 Years by Barbara Stodola Is it possible that 25 years have already gone by? Then 50? 100? Can it really be 100? Anniversary years, besides calling to mind the amazingly swift passage of time, give us the grand opportunity to re- fl ect on differences, often troubling differences, between how it was then and how it is now. In no case is the comparison more timely than with Mod- ern Art, which has chalked up important anniversaries these past few years. Here comes another – February 17, 2013, 100 years since the New York Armory Show opened and caught the American public off-guard by displaying the world’s most shocking art being produced, most of it straight from Europe. After this show, the American art world was never the same. Picasso’s bronze head (1909), now owned by the Art Institute of Chicago, shocked viewers with its harsh, angled features, rather than the softly polished marble typically used to sculpt female faces and fi gures. Picasso, Matisse, Duch- amp, Munch, Kandinsky – names now enshrined as leaders of the modern move- ment – were seen by many Americans for the fi rst time and the viewers were, pre- dictably, shocked. John Sloan’s “Sunday, Girls Drying Their Hair,” was representative of New York’s Ash Can School – so called because of the unrefi ned character of its subjects. Sloan, allied with Armory Show leaders, was Still Modern Continued on Page 2 at odds with New York’s academic painters.

  • Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America Artist Bios
    Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America Artist Bios Gifford Beal was born in New York City in 1879. As a teenager he studied with William Merritt Chase and graduated from Yale in 1900. He became the longest-serving president of the Art Students League of New York, where he also taught in 1931 and 1932. Successful as a painter, printmaker and muralist, Beal applied his talents to both the public side of pageantry like the circus and quieter, everyday moments like natural landscapes and fishing scenes. Paul Lewis Clemens was born in Wisconsin in 1911 and studied art at both the University of Wisconsin and the Art Institute of Chicago. He moved to Los Angeles in 1944 and became well known for a series of movie star portraits—Henry Fonda, Mia Farrow, Ethel Barrymore, Claudette Colbert, Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan, among others—commissioned by Life magazine. Clarence Holbrook Carter was born in Portsmouth in 1904. After graduating from the Cleveland School of Art, he spent a year painting in Europe and then returned to Cleveland to find considerable success as a professional artist, even during the Depression, enjoying prizes every year in the Cleveland Museum’s annual May Show, exhibiting at other important museums and selling his work to public and private collectors. He later lived in Pittsburgh and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, before settling in rural New Jersey for the rest of his long, productive life. His artistic vocabulary underwent several major shifts but he is best known for his regionalist American Scene paintings, including a number of oils and watercolors devoted to a favorite subject since childhood, the circus, especially the unexpected glimpse behind the tents.
