Last year the exhibition stressed a hundred years' progress in American picture collecting and convincingly demonstrated to the greatest number of visitors attending a museum during a world's exposition, that our public galleries and private owners possessed treasures of amazing worth belonging to every period and nation in the history of Western art. This year native achievement is the theme. For the past twenty-five years, an increasing interest has been manifest

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 14, 2013 MEDIA CONTACTS: Erin Hogan Chai Lee (312) 443-3664 (312) 443-3625 [email protected] [email protected] THE ART INSTITUTE HONORS 100-YEAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PICASSO AND CHICAGO WITH LANDMARK MUSEUM–WIDE CELEBRATION First Large-Scale Picasso Exhibition Presented by the Art Institute in 30 Years Commemorates Centennial Anniversary of the Armory Show Picasso and Chicago on View Exclusively at the Art Institute February 20–May 12, 2013 Special Loans, Installations throughout Museum, and Programs Enhance Presentation This winter, the Art Institute of Chicago celebrates the unique relationship between Chicago and one of the preeminent artists of the 20th century—Pablo Picasso—with special presentations, singular paintings on loan from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and programs throughout the museum befitting the artist’s unparalleled range and influence. The centerpiece of this celebration is the major exhibition Picasso and Chicago, on view from February 20 through May 12, 2013 in the Art Institute’s Regenstein Hall, which features more than 250 works selected from the museum’s own exceptional holdings and from private collections throughout Chicago. Representing Picasso’s innovations in nearly every media—paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, and ceramics—the works not only tell the story of Picasso’s artistic development but also the city’s great interest in and support for the artist since the Armory Show of 1913, a signal event in the history of modern art. BMO Harris is the Lead Corporate Sponsor of Picasso and Chicago. "As Lead Corporate Sponsor of Picasso and Chicago, and a bank deeply rooted in the Chicago community, we're pleased to support an exhibition highlighting the historic works of such a monumental artist while showcasing the artistic influence of the great city of Chicago," said Judy Rice, SVP Community Affairs & Government Relations, BMO Harris Bank.

    Oral history interview with Eugenie Gershoy, 1964 Oct. 15 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview EG:: EUGENIE GERSHOY MM:: MARY McCHESNEY RM:: ROBERT McCHESNEY (Miss Gershoy was on the WPA sculpture project in New York City) MM:: First I'd like to ask you, Johnny -- isn't that your nickname? -- where were you born? EG:: In Russia. MM:: What year? EG:: 1901. MM:: What town were you born in? EG:: In a wonderful little place called Krivoi Rog. It's a metal-lurgical center that was very important in the second World War. A great deal of fighting went on there, and it figured very largely in the German-Russian campaign. MM:: When did you come to the United States? EG:: 1903. MM:: You were saying that you came to the United States in 1903, so you were only two years old. EG:: Yes. MM:: Where did you receive your art training? EG:: Very briefly, I had a couple of scholarships to the Art Students League. MM:: In New York City? EG:: Yes. And then I got married and went to Woodstock and worked there by myself. John Flanagan, the sculptor, was a great friend of ours, and he was up there, too. I was very much influenced by him. He used to take the boulders in the field and make his sculptures of them, and also the wood that was indigenous to the neighborhood -- ash, pine, apple wood, and so forth.

    A Fantasy in Blue and Gold, 1964, oil and acrylic on canvas, 27" x 36", The Stillman-Lack Foundation Coney Island (Three Horses) , c. 1936, oil on canvas, 24" x 30", The Stillman-Lack Foundation Ary Stillman PLAY OF LIGHT The Journey of an American Modernist Ary Stillman (1891—1967) was a Russian-born American artist who, in spite of gaining significant recognition in his day, is largely absent from the historical annals of modern art. Yet the works he produced have continued to intrigue art historians as well as offering contemporary audiences new perspectives on the prevailing movements, influences and milieus of twentieth century art. Following his own independent and wayward course, evolving from representational art to the post war, painterly style of abstraction inspired by cubism and surrealism, Stillman took cues from his surroundings — Paris in the 20’s, New York in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s and Mexico in the 60’s. While he absorbed the stylistic experiments and innovations of these decades, he distilled them through his singular vision to produce a remarkably distinct and mature body of work. In tracing the evolution of Stillman’s art, one finds evidence of his early academic training in Russia, the lingering spell of Impressionism in Europe in the early part of the twentieth century, and the mid-century impact of Abstract Expressionism in America. Further, one discovers yet another story as well — the story of a young Jewish boy in Russia seeking to realize his dream of becoming an artist against all prevailing odds. His legacy is not only the distinctive body of work that he created, but also the undaunted resolve that characterized his life as an artist.
