Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary
Gordon Onslow Ford Voyager and Visionary 11 February – 13 May 2012 The Mint Museum 1 COVER Gordon Onslow Ford, Le Vallee, Switzerland, circa 1938 Photograph by Elisabeth Onslow Ford, courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation FIGURE 1 Sketch for Escape, October 1939 gouache on paper Photograph courtesy of Lucid Art Foundation Gordon Onslow Ford: Voyager and Visionary As a young midshipman in the British Royal Navy, Gordon Onslow Ford (1912-2003) welcomed standing the night watch on deck, where he was charged with determining the ship’s location by using a sextant to take readings from the stars. Although he left the navy, the experience of those nights at sea may well have been the starting point for the voyages he was to make in his painting over a lifetime, at first into a fabricated symbolic realm, and even- tually into the expanding spaces he created on his canvases. The trajectory of Gordon Onslow Ford’s voyages began at his birth- place in Wendover, England and led to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and to three years at sea as a junior officer in the Mediterranean and Atlantic fleets of the British Navy. He resigned from the navy in order to study art in Paris, where he became the youngest member of the pre-war Surrealist group. At the start of World War II, he returned to England for active duty. While in London awaiting a naval assignment, he organized a Surrealist exhibition and oversaw the publication of Surrealist poetry and artworks that had been produced the previous summer in France (fig.

Drawing Surrealism Didactics 10.22.12.Pdf
^ Drawing Surrealism Didactics Drawing Surrealism is the first-ever large-scale exhibition to explore the significance of drawing and works on paper to surrealist innovation. Although launched initially as a literary movement with the publication of André Breton’s Manifesto of Surrealism in 1924, surrealism quickly became a cultural phenomenon in which the visual arts were central to envisioning the world of dreams and the unconscious. Automatic drawings, exquisite corpses, frottage, decalcomania, and collage are just a few of the drawing-based processes invented or reinvented by surrealists as means to tap into the subconscious realm. With surrealism, drawing, long recognized as the medium of exploration and innovation for its use in studies and preparatory sketches, was set free from its associations with other media (painting notably) and valued for its intrinsic qualities of immediacy and spontaneity. This exhibition reveals how drawing, often considered a minor medium, became a predominant mode of expression and innovation that has had long-standing repercussions in the history of art. The inclusion of drawing-based projects by contemporary artists Alexandra Grant, Mark Licari, and Stas Orlovski, conceived specifically for Drawing Surrealism , aspires to elucidate the diverse and enduring vestiges of surrealist drawing. Drawing Surrealism is also the first exhibition to examine the impact of surrealist drawing on a global scale . In addition to works from well-known surrealist artists based in France (André Masson, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, among them), drawings by lesser-known artists from Western Europe, as well as from countries in Eastern Europe and the Americas, Great Britain, and Japan, are included.

Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Art History by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 Ó Copyright by Joanna Marie Fiduccia 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hollow Man: Alberto Giacometti and the Crisis of the Monument, 1935–45 by Joanna Marie Fiduccia Doctor of Philosophy in Art History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor George Thomas Baker, Chair This dissertation presents the first extended analysis of Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture between 1935 and 1945. In 1935, Giacometti renounced his abstract Surrealist objects and began producing portrait busts and miniature figures, many no larger than an almond. Although they are conventionally dismissed as symptoms of a personal crisis, these works unfold a series of significant interventions into the conventions of figurative sculpture whose consequences persisted in Giacometti’s iconic postwar work. Those interventions — disrupting the harmonious relationship of surface to interior, the stable scale relations between the work and its viewer, and the unity and integrity of the sculptural body — developed from Giacometti’s Surrealist experiments in which the production of a form paradoxically entailed its aggressive unmaking. By thus bridging Giacometti’s pre- and postwar oeuvres, this decade-long interval merges two ii distinct accounts of twentieth-century sculpture, each of which claims its own version of Giacometti: a Surrealist artist probing sculpture’s ambivalent relationship to the everyday object, and an Existentialist sculptor invested in phenomenological experience. This project theorizes Giacometti’s artistic crisis as the collision of these two models, concentrated in his modest portrait busts and tiny figures.

Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
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.

When the Margin Cries: Surrealism in Yugoslavia
Sanja Bahun-Radunovic When the Margin Cries: Surrealism in Yugoslavia HE CURRENT GEOPOLITICAL REDEFINING of the notions of the center and the margin accelerated rediscovery of “minor” Tcultures. The study of their import and influences, however, remains largely focused upon the post-Second World War period. Yet, it was precisely modernist apprehensiveness of fixed structures that initiated a subversion of these geo-cultural categories. Nowhere was the urge to restructure geopolitical hierarchies felt more powerfully than in the avant-garde. The geographic effect of this principle was an emphatic internationalization of the avant-garde activity and the establishment of multifaceted relations between the avant-garde “centers” (Paris, Berlin, New York, Moscow) and their counterparts in the cultural “periphery” (Buenos Aires, Athens, Bucharest, Cairo). These unique cross-cultural dialogues fermented in surrealism. Even though Paris served as an indisputable (if self-assigned) center, this site of desire was, quite “surrealistically”, infused and indeed formed by the periphery. We have discovered many loci of the “centripetal” surrealist forces and the literature on, for instance, Brazilian, German, or even Egyptian surrealism abounds. Yet, one surrealist grouping seems to have escaped the record: apart form a brief mentioning in several most comprehensive books, the Yugoslav surrealists have hardly received any critical attention outside their own country1. At the same time, the Belgrade 1 Maurice Nadeau’s classical Histoire du surréalisme suivie de documents surréalistes (Nadeau 1945) mentions the Belgrade Circle only parenthetically. Gérard Durozoi’s Le surréalisme (2002), even though criticizing Nadeau’s book for failing to account for the global spread of the movement, does not escort much more attention to the Serbian BAHUN-RADUNOVIC Sanja, «When the Margin Cries: Surrealism in Yugoslavia», RiLUnE, n.

She learned photography as an assistant and had her first solo exhibition in 1944 at Mexico City’s Palace of Fine Arts. She described the camera as a way to show “the life I found before me.” Álvarez Bravo was engaged in the Mexican surrealist movement, documenting the lives of many fellow artists in her work. Jean Arp JON ARP (J as in mirage) Jean Arp (also known as Hans Arp), was a German-French sculp- tor, painter, and writer best known for his paper cut-outs and his abstract sculptures. Arp also created many collages. He worked, like other surrealists, with chance and intuition to create art instead of using reason and logic, later becoming a member of the “Abstraction-Création” art movement. 3 André Breton ahn-DRAY bruh-TAWN A founder of surrealism, avant-garde writer and artist André Breton originally trained to be a doctor, serving in the French army’s neuropsychiatric center during World War I. He used his interests in medicine and psychology to innovate in art and literature, with a particular interest in mental illness and the unconscious.

Surrealism in Connecticut July 3 – Oct. 18, 2015 Wall Text & Extended
Visions from Home: Surrealism in Connecticut July 3 – Oct. 18, 2015 Wall Text & Extended Labels This exhibition examines the international artistic community that flourished from the 1930s to the 1950s in rural towns such as Roxbury, Sherman, and Woodbury, in Litchfield County. With its rolling hills and farmhouses, the countryside provided a retreat from the congestion and noise of city living. Following the outbreak of World War II, a wave of European artists—many proponents of Surrealism—relocated to this area, where they found physical and intellectual refuge. For many, the landscape of Connecticut inspired their imagery and choice of subject. The Wadsworth Atheneum was a center for vanguard exhibitions and performances in the 1930s and 1940s, including the first display of Surrealist painting in America. This current exhibition looks back to this defining moment in the museum’s history and celebrates the artists and tastemakers that helped define Connecticut’s cultural landscape as modern and innovative. Unless otherwise stated, all objects are from the collection of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. Supported in part by a gift of the Jean and Julien Levy Foundation for the Arts, Inc. Support for the Wadsworth Atheneum is provided in part by the Greater Hartford Arts Council’s United Arts Campaign and the Department of Economic and Community Development, which also receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
