Ammi Phillips's Portraits with Animals
Atntni Phillips's Portraits with Anitnals by Leigh Rehner Jones and Shirley A. Mearns mmi Phillips (1788-1865), the nineteenth-century portrait artist, spent most of his working life in the Hudson Valley, where he painted its people-and yes, a few of its animals , too. Two years ago, his POTtrait of a GiTl in a Red DTess sold A I for $682,000, a record price for a work by this extraordinarily pro lific artist who painted more than five hundred portraits during a career spanning at least fifty years. 2 Nineteen of the surviving portraits by Ammi Phillips depict ani mals, and these are some of the most appealing works by the Con necticut-born artist. The child he painted in Portrait of a Gid in a Red DTess is charming; equall y charming is the brown-and-white beagle like dog at her feet. Together they make an especiall y winning double portrait. While the people in Phillips's portraits are sometimes identified, more frequently their names are unknown. This anonym ity extends as we ll to the animals in his paintings. Cats and dogs are nearly always found with child ren, but in two portraits of adults, a horse and a team of oxen are painted which are undoubtedly clues to the sitters' professions. 62 The Hudson Valley Regional Review, September 1987, Volu me 4, Number 2 D r. Cornelius Allerton (1779-1855) was painted about 1825 in Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York, where he practiced medicine. He was recalled later as having "perceptive faculties of high order" and as "quick and correct in diagnosis, and a bold yet carefuI prac titioner. -

Lost Man Blues: Jon Schueler – Art and War
Exhibition Proposal Lost Man Blues: Jon Schueler – Art and War Wing Shadow Over Grey Sea, 1982, 72” x 65” (o/c 1248) Curated by Marissa Roth Lost Man Blues: Jon Schueler – Art and War Lost Man Blues Romasaig, Scotland, September 1988 Oil on canvas 18 x 16 in / 45.72 x 40.64 cm (o/c 1549) The title of this painting refers to the loss of a plane in Schueler’s squadron on the return to England after a bombing mission over Germany. Lost Man Blues JON SCHUELER – Art and War Curated by Marissa Roth When reflecting on the arc of an artist’s life and career, we find that his or her own words and thoughts provide the most telling details and authentic backdrop to the work and convey its full breadth. Because of the physical nature of art, it can only tell part of the story at any one time. But the binding together of years of personal writings reveals the artistic journey in its totality and offers the most meaningful context. Jon Schueler (1916-1992), the esteemed prolific American Abstract Expressionist painter from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was also a masterful writer. Over the course of three decades, he wrote thousands of pages and deliberately conserved them by date as a testimony of his life. This self-portrait in words - reflections, ruminations, personal letters and business correspondence - is an acutely self-aware record of his creative process and mirrors his breathtaking output as a painter. Through these writings lovingly edited by his widow Magda Salvesen, and editor Diane Cousineau, we hear his voice and understand his innermost creative struggles. -

Jon Schueler, It Is Magazine, 1960
When I speak of nature I’m speaking of the sky... And when I think of the sky, I think of Jon Schueler 1916-1992 the Scottish sky over Mallaig... Jon Schueler Time was there and motion was there..lands forming, seas disappearing, words Discover the artist, his works fragmenting, colors giving birth to burning shapes...... and his inspiration in 2016. Jon Schueler, It is magazine, 1960 Born in Milwaukee in 1916, Jon Schueler studied at the California School of Fine Arts from 1948-51 where his teachers included Clyfford Still and Richard Diebenkorn. In ‘51 he moved to New York and, through Still, became immersed in the art world of Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, and Robert Motherwell. Considered one of the younger members of the legendary New York School, he was taken up by both the celebrated dealer Leo Castelli and the Stable Gallery. In 1957 he discovered Mallaig, a fishing village on the west coast of Scotland, and this landscape informed his work in NY throughout the ‘60s. In 1970 he returned to Mallaig for 5 years, and then painted there again most summers until his death in 1992. Essentially an abstract painter, Schueler nonetheless grounded his work in nature --especially in the light and atmosphere of the Scottish west coast. This dimension will be celebrated by both museums and galleries during the 2016 centenary. Schueler’s paintings are in the collections of distinguished American and British institutions including the Whitney Museum in New York and the Scottish above : Sea Light: Dreaming, I, 1981, 152 x 132 cm (60”x 52”) o/c 1192 National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. -
Sigrid Ruby the Give and Take of American Painting in Postwar Western Europe
The American Impact on Western Europe: Americanization and Westernization in Transatlantic Perspective Conference at the German Historical Institute Washington, D.C., March 25–27, 1999 Sigrid Ruby The Give and Take of American Painting in Postwar Western Europe www.ghi-dc.org/conpotweb/westernpapers/ruby.pdf ©Sigrid Ruby 1 The Give and Take of American Painting in Postwar Western Europe (Sigrid Ruby) The standard narrative of 20th century art maintains that with the advent of abstract expressionism in the late 1940s American painting for the very first time made a genuine contribution to the course of Western art history. This at first sight eurocentristic narrative relies on the conceptualization of modern art as an evolutionary process, mainly conditioned by the esthetic qualities of the autonomous art work and urged on by successive vanguard movements. Pointing out its formal inventiveness and radical newness, its painterly grandeur, purity of means, and artistic self-consciousness, art historical writing has naturalized abstract expressionism as an integral part - if not the climax or glorious finale1 - of the modernist adventure. In 1970, the American art critic Irving Sandler published „Abstract Expressionism. The Triumph of American Painting.“2 The book perpetuated the by then well- established modernist interpretation of abstract expressionism, but the somewhat self-congratulatory title suggests a bias which became crucial for a revisionist reading of this „triumph“ in the following years. Max Kozloff‘s article „American Painting During the Cold War,“3 Eva Cockroft’s „Abstract Expressionism. Weapon of the Cold War,“4 and, especially, Serge Guilbaut’s book „How New York Stole the Idea of Modern Art“5 are landmarks of a new, materialist approach in dealing with post- 1945 art history and its American contribution. -

Edith O'donnell Institute of Art History Newsletter
Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History Newsletter Report of the Director After a splendid opening party for the new headquarters of the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History in the Edith O’Donnell Arts and Technology Building at the University of Texas at Dallas in May, we scattered for summers of research and writing to return to a fall brimming with new life. Gary Cunningham’s design for the UT Dallas offices has proven wonderfully generous, and we have welcomed three of our four O’Donnell Research Dr. Richard R. Brettell Fellows and six Graduate Research Fellows to their newly outfitted carrels. Meanwhile, during the summer, work proceeded apace for the Institute’s new headquarters next to Mayer Library and across from the board room on the second floor of the DMA’s Hamon building. This project is designed by Buchanan Architecture and will be ready for fellows and graduate students in the fall. Stay tuned for an opening date. We have also welcomed two new members of the team-- our financial guru and comptroller Lisa McClain, who started in August, and our new consultant for development, Lucy Buchanan, who has relocated from San Francisco to Dallas to help us Photo of the almost finished EODIAH headquarters at continue to thrive in the metroplex. the University of Texas at Dallas. My great challenge of the fall involved not only completing the recruiting process for chairs in Conservation Science and Islamic Art History, but also in introducing the brilliant undergraduate students of UT Dallas to the University’s newest research efforts in Art History. -
