Lois Dodd FLASHINGS Lois Dodd FLASHINGS Lois Dodd (b.1927 in Montclair, New Jersey) studied art and textile design while attending Cooper Union from 1945 to 1948. In 1952 out of fve artists, Dodd was the only woman, to establish the legendary Tanager Gallery, an important 10th Street co-op gallery, together with her former husband Bill King, Angelo Ippolito, Charles Cajori und Fred Mitche. Amongst the approximately 20 members of Tanger Gallery Alex Katz, Philipp Pearlstein, Tom Wesselmann and Sally Hazelet Drummond were to be found. Dodd exhibited her own paintings at the Tanager for ten years, and later went on to teach at Brooklyn College and Showheagan School from 1971 to 1992. While Lois Dodd’s over 70-year-long career runs parallel to many major artistic movements, most notably abstract expressionism and pop art, her dedication to pursuing her own vision has consistently defed categorisation. Dodd rejected the sources that others of her generation took as a given: mass media, popular culture, and the bright surfaces of a comfortable life. She is primarily known for her observational paintings of landscapes, nudes, and still lives. "I would fnd it, see it, and say 'that's exciting' but I don't want to set things up." There is nothing glitzy about the work, neither in its subject matter nor in her use of materials. She does not celebrate excess, ownership, or leisure, nor does she condemn it. Whether or not she intends her refusals to be a comment on the work of those around her, her paintings embody an implicit critique of those who believe acquisitiveness, possession, and leisure are integral to the pursuit of happiness. Most people use 5x7 inches (13x18 cm) sheets of aluminum as a refuge against the outdoors— they help keep a roof watertight. Not Lois Dodd, who still carries them into the landscape of Maine to paint en plein air, as she has for decades, part poet and part reporter. Flashing, the material’s name, also tidily summarises her process: Dodd paints quickly with oils with small brushes, wet into wet, fnishing each little gem in one session. She is known for the careful simplicity of her paintings, that illustrate her attentiveness to, and appreciation for, the scenes she encounters in her immediate environment. Windows, fowers, gardens, and clotheslines are of a particular fascination to Dodd, and she is celebrated for her ability to capture the complexity of these everyday subjects. Dodd is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design. In 2012 to 2013, the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, organised a travelling retrospective of Dodd’s paintings, which was accompanied by the book Catching the Light. In 2017 Lund Humphries published a stand-alone monograph of her work as part of their new Contemporary Artist series. Philipp Haverkampf is pleased to announce the frst presentation of her small sized paintings in the Gallery in Berlin. At the age of 92 Dodd is still painting and lives and works in Main, Delaware Water Gap and New York City. Philipp Haverkampf Galerie | Mommsenstraße 67 | 10629 Berlin | [email protected].

  • Lois Dodd 6 July
    Modern Art Lois Dodd 6 July – 24 August 2019 Helmet Row, EC1 Private view: Friday 5 July, 6-8pm “Not everybody seems to see the world that they’re living in […] and it’s such a kick, really, seeing things.” – Lois Dodd Modern Art is pleased to announce a major exhibition of paintings by Lois Dodd spanning the last six decades of the artist’s career. This is Dodd’s first exhibition with the gallery and her first survey outside America. The show will include works encompassing the breadth of Dodd’s output and covering key motifs including landscapes, isolated architectural elements, nocturnal scenes and burning houses. Lois Dodd (b. Montclair, New Jersey, 1927) has spent more than seventy years attentively observing the natural and manmade architectures of her surroundings and recording them in paint. Her works preserve the beauty camouflaged in ordinary and occasionally enigmatic details such as windows, wood siding, greenery and washing lines. Dodd’s quintessentially American pictures recount a life spent painting outdoors, much of it in the Delaware Water Gap and the bucolic settings around her summer home in Midcoast Maine, in addition to time in her Manhattan studio. At 92, she continues to produce new work. Lois Dodd attended Cooper Union in New York from 1945 to 1948, where she studied textile design. She also painted throughout her schooling, and soon after graduating would shift her focus entirely to painting. In 1951, she moved to Italy for a year with the sculptor William King. Upon their return, Dodd and King founded a small cooperative gallery in Manhattan’s Tenth Street with Charles Cajori, Angelo Ippolito and Fred Mitchell.

  • Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7)
    1960 Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7) A publisher and an antique dealer for most of his life, Streeter Blair (1888–1966) began painting at the age of 61 in 1949. Blair became quite successful in a short amount of time with numerous exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including several one-man shows as early as 1951. He sought to recapture “those social and business customs which ended when motor cars became common in 1912, changing the life of America’s activities” in his artwork. He believed future generations should have a chance to visually examine a period in the United States before drastic technological change. This exhibition displayed twenty-one of his paintings and was well received by the public. Three of his paintings, the Eisenhower Farm loaned by Mr. & Mrs. George Walker, Bread Basket loaned by Mr. Peter Walker, and Highland Farm loaned by Miss Helen Moore, were sold during the exhibition. [Newsletter, memo, various letters] The Private World of Pablo Picasso (January 15–February 7) A notable exhibition of paintings, drawings, and graphics by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), accompanied by photographs of Picasso by Life photographer David Douglas Duncan (1916– 2018). Over thirty pieces were exhibited dating from 1900 to 1956 representing Picasso’s Lautrec, Cubist, Classic, and Guernica periods. These pieces supplemented the 181 Duncan photographs, shown through the arrangement of the American Federation of Art. The selected photographs were from the book of the same title by Duncan and were the first ever taken of Picasso in his home and studio.

    Mapping the Pedagogy of the New York Studio School Jennifer Sachs Samet “Despite diverse aesthetic points of view as represented by individual artists on the faculty, the School represents a particular attitude toward the study of art…The study is demanding and difficult; it places emphasis on what is learned rather than what is produced, on deep rooted insight into art of the past as well as of the present, on individual authenticity rather than borrowed idioms of fashion...” —Mercedes Matter (1913-2001)1 “I was told, all my life, in art school and beyond, you’re not allowed to draw, you’re not allowed to paint; you certainly shouldn’t paint with images….The way I teach is the way I would have liked to have been taught.” —Graham Nickson2 The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 by Mercedes Matter, in collaboration with a group of students and faculty, during a time of cultural ferment. To this day, it is bound by a sense of mission, one that has often stood in counterpoint to the prevailing tastes of the art world. During the heyday of Pop, conceptual art, and minimalism, the School emphasized drawing, working from life, and a sustained studio practice. To delve into the history, however, is to become aware of the contradictions inherent in a school run by some of the most passionate minds of the New York art world. This essay represents a first attempt to trace a pedagogical map of the New York Studio School, one that connects the school’s teaching to a multiplicity of influences.
