Fusing Both Arts to an Inseparable Unity: Frank O'Hara as a Visual Artist Abstract Frank O’Hara, a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a published poet in the 1950s and 60s, was an exemplary yet enigmatic figure in both the literary and art worlds. While he published poetry, wrote art criticism, and curated exhibitions—on Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollock—he also collaborated on numerous projects with visual artists, including Larry Rivers, Michael Goldberg, Grace Hartigan, Joe Brainard, Jane Freilicher, and Norman Bluhm. Scholars who study O’Hara fail to recognize his work with the aforementioned visual artists, only considering him a “Painterly Poet” or a “Poet Among Painters,” but never a poet and a visual artist. Through W.J.T. Mitchell’s “imagetext” model, I apply a hybridized literary and visual analysis to understand O’Hara’s artistic work in a new way.

  • Beat Culture and the Grateful Dead
    Beat Culture and the Grateful Dead OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did beat writers like Jack Kerouac influence the Grateful Dead’s music? OVERVIEW Note to teacher: The handout in this lesson contains descriptions of drug use. Our hope is that the language used, which quite often details the repulsive nature of addiction rather than glamorizing it, will paint a realistic, and not desirable picture of drug use. However, we suggest reviewing the handout and making a plan for using it with your classroom before working with the lesson. In post-WWII America, a radical new movement took over the literary world. Anchored by writers like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs, the Beat Generation, as they came to be known, viewed conventional American culture with disillusionment. They embraced things like free sexuality and drug use, explorations of Eastern religion, and a shirking of materialism in favor of a liberated lifestyle. One of the era’s most definitive works, Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel On the Road, explores these themes through a semi-autobiographical road trip across America. By the 1960s, the ideals expounded by the Beats were perhaps no better exemplified in musical culture than by the Grateful Dead. For their 30-year career, the Grateful Dead embraced the liberating, always-on-the-move lifestyle promoted by works such as Kerouac’s On the Road. The band eschewed industry conventions by becoming a perpetual “road band,” gaining a reputation not through chart hits, lavish studio recordings, or flashy media appearances, but via ceaseless touring and adventurous, inclusive,and always-changing live performances.

  • R in 1963 Frank O'hara Threw a Party for Edwin Denby's Sixtieth Birthday. the Invitation Was Printed with an Acrostic Poem B
    EDWIN DENBY’S NEW YORK SCHOOL MARY MAXWELL In 1963 Frank O’Hara threw a party for Edwin Denby’s sixtieth birthday. The invitation was printed with an acrostic poem by O’Hara entitled ‘‘Edwin’s Hand.’’ The first stanzas read: Easy to love, but di≈cult to please, he walks densely as a child in the midst of spectacular needs to understand. Desire makes our enchanter gracious, and naturally he’s surprised to be. And so are you to be you, when he smiles. At O’Hara’s funeral three years later (a gathering at which Larry Rivers announced that ‘‘there are at least sixty people in New York who thought Frank O’Hara was their best friend’’), Denby was the first friend to speak, ‘‘standing Lincoln-like and low-voiced under the big elm at Springs,’’ according to Bill Berkson. Of O’Hara’s R 65 66 MAXWELL sudden death, Denby later said, ‘‘Some people never recovered; in ways, I never did.’’ One of the ways Denby did not recover (though he himself would never have said so) was that as a poet, he had lost his most important advocate. His first collection of poems, In Public, in Private, for example, had been praised by O’Hara in 1957 as ‘‘an increasingly important book for the risks it takes in successfully establishing a specifically American spoken diction which has a classical firmness and clarity under his hand.’’ And though Denby is still universally lauded as the most important and influential American dance critic of the twentieth century, he remains rela- tively unknown as a poet beyond a small group of enthusiasts.

  • CULTURAL ICONS Fred W
    CULTURAL ICONS Fred W. McDarrah Save the Village By Norman Borden Fred W. McDarrah, "Women of the World Unite, Women's Liberation Demonstration" 1970 For those interested in the cultural and political history of New York City during one of its most creative and turbulent periods––1958 to 1979––you will be enthralled by the more than 130 vintage prints in this sprawling exhibition of Fred McDarrah’s work for the Village Voice. As the Voice’s only staff photographer for more than 20 years, McDarrah captured many of the Downtown scene’s artists, writers and performers who later became cultural icons. He photographed peace marches, hippie be-ins, gay rights demonstrations and parades, the Weather Underground bombing on West 11th Street, and countless politicians––from Mayor John Lindsay to Mario Cuomo, Ed Koch and Robert Moses. Fred W. McDarrah, "Allen Ginsberg on Central Park Bandstand, 5th Avenue Peace Demonstration to Stop the War in Vietnam, " 1966 McDarrah considered himself a photojournalist rather than a fine art photographer and the pictures here will only confirm that. His photographs are straight portraits: artists at work in their studios, musicians on the bandstand, other celebrities, and an array of casual street portraits of the soon to be famous like Bob Dylan hanging out in Sheridan Square. Intriguing also is the sheer diversity of McDarrah’s subjects. He captured everyone, from Mel Brooks and Robert Kennedy to Tennessee Williams and George Lucas, Woody Allen, Mario Puzo, John Lennon, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Muhammad Ali, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Lee Krasner, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jasper Johns, and yes, even a young Donald Trump and his father, Fred.

Greenwich Village, with its charming townhouses and prewar apartment buildings, Union Square and Ladies’ Mile, with their grand commercial emporia and robust industrial lofts, and the East Village with its pleasingly modest rowhouses, tenements, and factories, mix and mingle in these nearly twenty blocks where neighborhood boundaries are blurred, and building eras, styles, and types sit in sometimes-dramatic juxtaposition. But this area stands out for more than just its unusual amalgamation of features.

  • Beat Writers
    Handout 1 - Beat Writers Allen Ginsberg American poet, writer, and activist, Allen Ginsberg was one of the foremost voices of the Beat Generation. While a student at Columbia University, Ginsberg met Lucien Carr after hearing him play a record of composer Johannes Brahms in his dorm room. Carr went on to introduce Ginsberg to Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, and Neal Cassady, and the core group of Beat writers was formed. Ginsberg attained national prominence after the publication of Howl and Other Poems in 1956. “Howl” was a sprawling poem which openly discussed homosexuality and drug use, while critiquing the materialistic, capitalist culture brewing in the United States. The publishers and booksellers of “Howl” were arrested for publishing the book and put on trial for obscenity charges — which they beat, on the basis of the poem’s “redeeming social importance.” Ginsberg is represented in On The Road as the character Carlo Marx. Excerpt from “Howl” I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz, who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated, who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy among the scholars of war, who were expelled from the academies for crazy & publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull, who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and listening to the Terror through the wall.
