Press Release Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact Troy Ellen Dixon Director, Marketing & Communications 203 413-6735 | [email protected] Face & Figure: The Sculpture of Gaston Lachaise Opens at the Bruce Museum on Saturday, September 22, 2012 Gaston Lachaise was more than a gifted sculptor of the human body. He was one of the finest portraitists of his age. Greenwich CT, September 13, 2012 – Face & Figure: The Sculpture of Gaston Lachaise features key examples of the artist’s work – many on loan from leading museums, private collections and the Lachaise Foundation – that reveal the full range of his vision, with special Press Release attention to the fascinating interchange between figural work and portraiture. Executive Director Peter Sutton notes that the sculpture of Gaston Lachaise is among the most powerful, recognizable and enduring of the early twentieth century. “The inspired sensuality of his buoyant nudes uplifts us all and the individuality of his portraits achieves an incisive statement of character scarcely rivaled in three dimensions. Face & Figure addresses these two aspects of the sculptor’s work and explores the intersection of their aims.” Running throughout this contemplative exhibition is the overriding narrative of the obsession Lachaise had with his muse, model and wife, Isabel Dutaud Nagle, who – sirenlike – inspired him to become that rare exception among artists of the 1920s and ’30s, an expatriate Frenchman in New York. Lachaise’s oeuvre is a sustained elaboration of his intense feeling for Nagle’s beauty. The series of great nudes that secured his Head of a Woman (Egyptian Head), 1922 Bronze,13 x 8 x 8 ¼ in. reputation – standing on tip-toe, dancing, reclining, floating, even The Lachaise Foundation levitating – are meditations on flesh and space. Lachaise was probably lucky to have crossed the Atlantic in what seemed to be the wrong direction in 1906, since he became the leading representative of French art imported to the New World. For Lachaise as sculptor and portraitist, the head and face – alternately pensive, noble, aloof, commanding or introspective – inspired superb and complex portrayals. His sitters were poets, painters, musicians, critics, and art patrons, including E.E. Cummings, Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz; a veritable pantheon of the American artistic avant-garde of the interwar years. Page 1 of 2 Press Release According to the exhibition’s curator Kenneth Silver, New York University Professor of Modern Art and Bruce Museum Adjunct Curator, sculptural freedom in the art of Lachaise by no means resides only in the robust sexuality of his nudes. “It is conveyed, just as powerfully, in the thrilling implication of physical movement with which nearly all his three-dimensional figures are endowed.” Perhaps the most remarkable of these is the nude figure of critic, historian and founder of the New York City Ballet, Lincoln Kirstein, a work recently acquired by the Bruce Museum. One of only two examples of the sculpture (the Whitney Museum of American Art possesses its twin), the 23½-inch bronze confounds the usual distinction between figure and portrait, as its bifurcated title – Man Walking (Portrait of Lincoln Kirstein) – indicates. Alluding to dance and oration – the figure’s mouth is open, as if speaking, and his hand extended, as if making an intellectual point – the sculptural form was in fact inspired by a statuette of the Egyptian god Amun that Lachaise and Kirstein admired. As he curated the exhibition, Silver sought to raise a number of compelling questions – Does the aesthetic appreciation of the nude rule out a more intense study of personality, and conversely, does portraiture, with its focus on specific character traits, interfere with the pursuit of beauty? What, in fact, did Lachaise intend by portraying Lincoln Kirstein nude: a revelation of the young man’s personality, the “naked truth” or a device for distancing us from the specific man by means of an idealized portrayal, free of social trappings? Was Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Hyatt Mayor right when he said, three years before the sculptor’s death, “In a sense every figure of Lachaise’s is a portrait – an individual struggling against a particular fate”? These and other compelling issues are explored in Face & Figure: The Sculpture of Gaston Lachaise. Accompanied by a major scholarly catalogue with contributions by Silver, Sutton, Paula Hornbostel (Curator of the Lachaise Foundation) and Laura Hovenac (Bruce Museum Zvi Grunberg Intern 2011-2012), the exhibition runs through January 6, 2013.

Thompson The Whitney Museum of American Art is observing the 100th anniversary of Lincoln Kirstein’s birth with an exhibition focusing on a diverse trio of artists from Kirstein’s circle: Walker Evans, Elie Nadelman, and Pavel Tchelitchew. Lincoln Kirstein: An Anniversary Celebration, conceived by guest curator Jerry L. Thompson, working with Elisabeth Sussman and Carter Foster, opens in the Museum’s 5th-floor Ames Gallery on April 25, 2007. Selections from Kirstein’s writings form the basis of the labels and wall texts. Lincoln Kirstein (1906-96), a noted writer, scholar, collector, impresario, champion of artists, and a hugely influential force in American culture, engaged with many notable artistic and literary figures, and helped shape the way the arts developed in America from the late 1920s onward. His involvement with choreographer George Balanchine, with whom he founded the School of American Ballet and New York City Ballet, is perhaps his best known accomplishment. This exhibition focuses on the photographer Walker Evans, the sculptor Elie Nadelman, and the painter Pavel Tchelitchew, each of whom was important to Kirstein.

  • Oral History Interview with Walker Evans, 1971 Oct. 13-Dec. 23
    Oral history interview with Walker Evans, 1971 Oct. 13-Dec. 23 Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Walker Evans conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The interview took place at the home of Walker Evans in Connecticut on October 13, 1971 and in his apartment in New York City on December 23, 1971. Interview PAUL CUMMINGS: It’s October 13, 1971 – Paul Cummings talking to Walker Evans at his home in Connecticut with all the beautiful trees and leaves around today. It’s gorgeous here. You were born in Kenilworth, Illinois – right? WALKER EVANS: Not at all. St. Louis. There’s a big difference. Though in St. Louis it was just babyhood, so really it amounts to the same thing. PAUL CUMMINGS: St. Louis, Missouri. WALKER EVANS: I think I must have been two years old when we left St. Louis; I was a baby and therefore knew nothing. PAUL CUMMINGS: You moved to Illinois. Do you know why your family moved at that point? WALKER EVANS: Sure. Business. There was an opening in an advertising agency called Lord & Thomas, a very famous one. I think Lasker was head of it. Business was just starting then, that is, advertising was just becoming an American profession I suppose you would call it. Anyway, it was very naïve and not at all corrupt the way it became later.

Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern by Samantha Friedman and Jodi Hauptman with contributions by Lynn Garafola, Michele Greet, Michelle Harvey, Richard Meyer, and Kevin Moore New York: The Museum of Modern Art, 2019. 208 pp.; 170 color illus.; 94 b/w illus.; Hardcover: $55.00 (ISBN: 9781633450820) Exhibition schedule: The Museum of Modern Art, New York, March 17–June 15, 2019 Reviewed by: Clara Barnhart, Independent Scholar The remarkable contribution made by Lincoln Kirstein (1907–1996) to the modern arts in the 1930s and 1940s United States took many forms, but he is still mostly known for enhancing the status of ballet as an American art form. Given that he so successfully spearheaded the American ballet movement, and continued to preside over it into the late 1980s as director of the New York City Ballet (NYCB) and president of the School of American Ballet (SAB), Kirstein's range of artistic interests is often overlooked. Lincoln Kirstein’s Modern, the catalogue for the 2019 Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) exhibition of the same name, seeks to correct this constrictive categorization by presenting Kirstein as a “key connector and indefatigable catalyst who shaped and supported American artists and institutions in the 1930s and ’40s,” writes Samantha Friedman, cocurator of the exhibition (11). The extent of his influence on the arts has not been sufficiently examined until now; the catalogue therefore fills a significant gap in the critical literature.

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; purchase with funds from Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney 31.172 NEW YORK, December 3, 2012—Eighteen early to mid-century American artists who forged distinctly modern styles are the subjects of American Legends: From Calder to O’Keeffe, opening December 22 at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Drawing from the Whitney’s permanent collection, the year-long show features iconic as well as lesser known works by Oscar Bluemner, Charles Burchfield, Paul Cadmus, Alexander Calder, Joseph Cornell, Ralston Crawford, Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Gaston Lachaise, Jacob Lawrence, John Marin, Reginald Marsh, Elie Nadelman, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Joseph Stella. Curator Barbara Haskell has organized the museum’s holdings of each of these artists’ work into small-scale retrospectives. Many of the works included will be on view for the first time in years; others, such as Hopper’s A Woman in the Sun, Calder’s Circus, Jacob Lawrence’s War Series, and Georgia O’Keeffe’s Summer Days, are cornerstones of the Whitney’s collection. The show will run for a year in the museum’s fifth-floor Leonard & Evelyn Lauder Galleries and both the Sondra Gilman Gallery and Howard & Jean Lipman Gallery on the fifth-floor mezzanine. To showcase the breadth and depth of the Museum’s impressive modern art collection, a rotation will occur in May 2013 in order that other artists and works can be installed.

    THE LACHAISE FOUNDATION Marie P. Charles, Director Frederick D. Ballou, Trustee Paula R. Hornbostel, Curator & Trustee Ronald D. Spencer, Trustee REMINDER February 21, 2012 www.frelinghuysen.org www.lachaisefoundation.org www.nyc.gov/parks GASTON LACHAISE’S LA MONTAGNE (THE MOUNTAIN) IN TRAMWAY PLAZA New York City’s Department of Parks & Recreation, The Lachaise Foundation and the Frelinghuysen-Morris Foundation are pleased to remind the public of the loan of La Montagne (The Mountain) modeled in 1934 by American Modernist sculptor Gaston Lachaise (1882-1935). The monumental bronze earth goddess lies at Tramway Plaza, located on Second Avenue between 59th and 60th Streets, where it is on loan to the New York City Parks Department from September 23rd until June 4th, 2012. Born in Paris in 1882, Gaston Lachaise studied sculpture at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, coming to the United States in 1906. He arrived in New York in 1912, and gained work with Paul Manship. He is known for his striking, voluptuous sculptures of women, they having been inspired by one woman, his muse model and wife Isabel. In 1935 the Museum of Modern Art gave Lachaise a retrospective exhibition of his work. He died later that year at the height of his career. The work of Lachaise’s work can be seen at Rockefeller Center on the 6th avenue facade of the GE building; in the sculpture garden at Moma (Floating Figure 1927) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and at the Whitney Museum. This bronze cast, the second in an edition of five, was made in 2002 by the Modern Art Foundry.

    41 REFASHIONING THE FIGURE The Sketchbooks of Archipenko c.1920 Henry Moore Institute Essays on Sculpture MAREK BARTELIK 2 3 REFASHIONING THE FIGURE The Sketchbooks of Archipenko c.19201 MAREK BARTELIK Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate…but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins, for he sees different (and more) things than the others: after all, he is dead in his own lifetime, he is the real survivor.2 Franz Kafka, Diaries, entry on 19 October 1921 The quest for paradigms in modern art has taken many diverse paths, although historians have underplayed this variety in their search for continuity of experience. Since artists in their studios produce paradigms which are then superseded, the non-linear and heterogeneous development of their work comes to define both the timeless and the changing aspects of their art. At the same time, artists’ experience outside of their workplace significantly affects the way art is made and disseminated. The fate of artworks is bound to the condition of displacement, or, sometimes misplacement, as artists move from place to place, pledging allegiance to the old tradition of the wandering artist. What happened to the drawings and watercolours from the three sketchbooks by the Ukrainian-born artist Alexander Archipenko presented by the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds is a poignant example of such a fate. Executed and presented in several exhibitions before the artist moved from Germany to the United States in the early 1920s, then purchased by a private collector in 1925, these works are now being shown to the public for the first time in this particular grouping.

    PRESS RELEASE. For Immediate Release: September 17, 2020 Contact: Paula Hornbostel | Director, Lachaise Foundation [email protected] | (212) 605-0380 Gaston Lachaise Sculpture, Floating Woman, 1927, to be Installed in Hunter’s Point South Park On Thursday, September 24 at 3pm The Lachaise Foundation and the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy will be hosting a brief, socially distant unveiling ceremony, with short dance performance by local dance company Karesia Batan | The Physical Plant to celebrate the addition of Floating Woman in Hunter’s Point South Park. Members of the press are invited to attend. Event will occur by the sculpture, near the intersection of 51st Ave. and Center Blvd. Follow by Live- stream: @Paula_Hornbostel_LachaiseFoundation Long Island City, NY – Hunters Point Parks Conservancy and the Lachaise Foundation are thrilled to announce the temporary installation of Gaston Lachaise’s Floating Woman (Floating Figure) in Hunter’s Point South Park. The work is one of Lachaise’s best-known, monumental works dating from the late twenties. The buoyant, expansive figure represents a timeless earth goddess, one Lachaise knew and sought to capture throughout his career. This vision was inspired by his wife, who was his muse and model, Isabel, that “majestic woman” who walked by him once by the Bank of the Seine. This work is a tribute to the power of all women, to ‘Woman,’ as the artist referred to his wife, with a capital W. Gaston Lachaise devoted himself to the human form, producing a succession of powerfully conceived nude figures in stone and bronze that reinvigorated the sculptural traditions of Auguste Rodin and Aristide Maillol.
