Nicolas & Elena Calas Archive Catalogue - Nicolas & Elena Calas Preface In the late autumn of 1999 the Danish Institute at Athens received 34 large parcels, containing the material for what was to become the Nicolas & Elena Calas Archive. The parcels had been sent from the Louisiana Art Museum in Humlebaek, near Copenhagen, where they had been stored for almost ten years. The decision to lend the material to the Danish Institute was taken by Steingrim Laursen, the senior director of the Louisiana Art Museum, after more and more Greek scholars had found their way to Denmark, wanting to research the Calas papers. The material needed to be organized and catalogued (a project which demanded extensive work, as many people already had rummaged through the papers prior to their arrival at the Danish Institute) before it could be presented to the scholars and researchers in a shape that could service them in their respective fields of study. Steingrim Laursen thought it best for the Calas papers to be kept in Greece as the people who had contacted him regarding the archive had all been Greek scholars, and also because a few of the notes, articles and letters were written in Greek. Steingrim Laursen first met Nicolas Calas in 1972 after attending one of his lectures at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This was to be the beginning of a very close friendship that lasted until Nicolas Calas‟ death in 1988. The idea of leaving his legacy of books, pictures and writings to Steingrim and the Louisiana Art Museum was a natural consequence of the friendship between Nicolas and Elena Calas and Steingrim Laursen and had been discussed and arranged by Nicolas and Elena Calas themselves before Nicolas‟ death. When Elena Calas died, two years after her husband, her papers also became part of the legacy. The collection of paintings now belongs to the permanent collection of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, while the books have become a great addition to the museum‟s library. 1 Using the catalogue This catalogue is a guide to the contents of the archive boxes. Each box has a number and a title describing the contents of that specific box. After the number and title of the box follows a short explanation of those contents. The boxes contain manila folders which also have a number and a title describing the contents of that specific folder. Then follows the detailed description of the contents of those manila folders. I have transcribed all Greek names with Latin letters, and used the Greek alphabet only when writing the titles of articles and periodicals. When dating the letters and manuscripts, I have used the British or European system (day, month, year), and therefore transcribed the American way of dating (month, day, year) when necessary. Nicolas Calas seems to have used both systems which has caused some problems that I hope I have solved as far as possible. The Calas papers are all in English when not otherwise indicated. The first 31 boxes contain Nicolas Calas‟ papers, while the following 10 boxes contain Elena Calas‟ papers.

    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

  • The Permanent Rebellion of Nicolas Calas: the Trotskyist Time Forgot Wald, Alan
    The Permanent Rebellion of Nicolas Calas: The Trotskyist Time Forgot Wald, Alan. Against the Current; Detroit Vol. 33, Iss. 4, (Sep/Oct 2018): 27-35. Abstract Foyers d'incendie, which has never been fully translated into English, involves a reworking of Freud's idea of the pleasure principle (behavior directed toward immediate satisfaction of instinctual drives and reduction of pain) to include a desire to change the future. [...] rather than following Freud in accepting civilization as necessary repression, Calas was adamant in posing a revolutionary alternative: "Since desire cannot simply do as it pleases, it is forced to adopt an attitude toward reality, and to this end it must either try to submit to as many of the demands of its environment as possible, or try to transform as far as possible everything in its environment which seems contrary to its desires. According to Schapiro, Breton chose van Heijenoort and Calas to defend dialectical materialism, while Schapiro arranged for Columbia philosopher of science Ernest Nagel and British logical positivist A. J. Ayer (then working for the British government on assignment in the United States) to raise objections. Exponents such as Larry Rivers, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns often drew on advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects to convey an irony accentuating the banal aspects of United States culture. Since Pop Art used a style that was hard-edged and representational, it has been interpreted as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, the post-World War II anti-figurative aesthetic that emphasizes spontaneous brush strokes or the dripping and splattering of paint.

    344 marianne jakobi 124 A copy of the exhibition catalogue for “Artists in Exile,” Pierre Matisse Gallery, 1942, signed by the artists. Private collection. 345 The Commercial Strategy of the Pierre Matisse Gallery After 1945: Promoting Individual Artists’ Careers at the Expense of the Careers of Surrealists Marianne Jakobi “Don’t scold me too much if I had to lower the prices in Rome substan- tially.”1 Unlike what we might think, this is not taken from a letter from a dealer to an artist but from a petition by Yves Tanguy to his gallerist Pierre Matisse that immediately raises the issues of the methods used to sell works of art, the works’ prices, the rights of foreigners, and so on. Pierre Matisse engenders many questions as he was one of the most dis- tinguished art dealers and gallery owners in the United States and, above all, a key figure in the development of a market for the surrealists.2 A famous gallerist, editor of exhibition catalogues, and letter writer, Matisse succeeded in establishing himself on the American art market as the standard-bearer of European—and more specifically Parisian—art- ists. Among the assorted artists he championed, such as Henri Matisse, Balthus, Jean Dubuffet, and Zao Wou-Ki, there were many surrealists or artists who participated in surrealism. Matisse’s particular approach was to focus on the artists themselves, at the expense of supporting the internationalist and revolutionary avant-garde movement that surrealism had been. It was this strategy of promoting personal careers—such as 1 Letter from Yves Tanguy to Pierre Matisse, March 3, 1955, Pierre Matisse Gallery Archives, Pierpont Morgan Library, New York (hereafter cited as APML).
