Recording of Marcel Duchamp’S Armory Show
Recording of Marcel Duchamp’s Armory Show Lecture, 1963 [The following is the transcript of the talk Marcel Duchamp (Fig. 1A, 1B)gave on February 17th, 1963, on the occasion of the opening ceremonies of the 50th anniversary retrospective of the 1913 Armory Show (Munson-Williams-Procter Institute, Utica, NY, February 17th – March 31st; Armory of the 69th Regiment, NY, April 6th – 28th) Mr. Richard N. Miller was in attendance that day taping the Utica lecture. Its total length is 48:08. The following transcription by Taylor M. Stapleton of this previously unknown recording is published inTout-Fait for the first time.] click to enlarge Figure 1A Marcel Duchamp in Utica at the opening of “The Armory Show-50th Anniversary Exhibition, 2/17/1963″ Figure 1B Marcel Duchamp at the entrance of the th50 anniversary exhibition of the Armory Show, NY, April 1963, Photo: Michel Sanouillet Announcer: I present to you Marcel Duchamp. (Applause) Marcel Duchamp: (aside) It’s OK now, is it? Is it done? Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? Yes, I think so. I’ll have to put my glasses on. As you all know (feedback noise). My God. (laughter.)As you all know, the Armory Show was opened on February 17th, 1913, fifty years ago, to the day (Fig. 2A, 2B). As a result of this event, it is rewarding to realize that, in these last fifty years, the United States has collected, in its private collections and its museums, probably the greatest examples of modern art in the world today. It would be interesting, like in all revivals, to compare the reactions of the two different audiences, fifty years apart. -
Modernism in the Southwest
Modernism in the Southwest Submitted by Dawn Sarah Cohen Department of Art In partial fuifiHment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2000 1 Modernism in the Southwest " Miles upon miles of level stretches covered with sage brush, with here and there a drop of a few hundred feet that would be a canyon, Hills and Mountains of every color ... A sunset seems to embrace the Earth Big sun heat Big storm Big everything ... " 1 In the 1900's, a group of New York City Modernists made a move to create art in the southwest region of North America. This took place almost simultaneously with the Armory Show in New York in 1913. Well·*known academic artists from different schools in New York were drawn to the relatively unexplored exotic territory. Their paintings bridged the gap between landscape painting and Modernism. These artists presented a 1 John Marin. John Marin, ed. Cleve Gray. (New York: Holt, Rinehardt and Winston, 1974), p. 161. 2 unique view of the landscape and culture of the Southwest. This paper will explore four artists and their responses to the Southwest landscape. In New York City during the 1910s and 1920s, many painters were concerned with the social context of city life and political issues. The role of these artists had been to explore urban culture through the style of genre paintings. Modernist painting, which included Individualism, Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Impressionism was also emerging at this time. Modernist groups were headed by two main schools of art, Alfred Stieglitz's group, and Robert Henri of the Ashcan School. -

Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 469 Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Art Studies: Science, Experience, Education (ICASSEE 2020) Study on the Stylization of Color Language in Landscape Oil Painting Lihong Zhang1,* 1Academy of Fine Arts, Huanggang Normal University, Huanggang, Hubei 438000, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT As an independent genre in painting, landscape oil painting has undergone the process of breaking away from Western oil painting and forming a complete landscape color system, which is accompanied by the style evolution of color language. Taking the French Impressionism and Russian Itinerants as research object, the paper attempts to clear the development of landscape oil painting with art history as entry point in combination with style and characteristic of color language in Chinese landscape oil painting, highlighting the importance of outdoors painting for landscape color language, as well as providing relevant teaching with theory of beneficial complement and practical reference.

Digital Suprematism Overview
DIGITAL SUPREMATISM "Tom R. Chambers is a Texan with a “Russian, Suprematist soul”. He has repeatedly introduced the modern trend of new media art to the masses. He has brought Minimalism to the pixel. In 2000, Chambers began to look at the pixel in the context of Abstraction and Minimalism. And he is currently working with interpretations of Kazimir Malevich’s “Black Square” and other Suprematist forms. His work calls our attention to visual singularity, which is all that we see in the digital universe. Since the pixel corresponds to what we call “subatomic particles” in our physical universe, Chambers’ work connects us directly with the feeling of Russian Suprematism, described as the spirit that pervades everything, and pays tribute to the faith in the ability of abstraction to convey “net feeling in the work.” (Curator, OMG [One Month Gallery], Moscow, Russia, 2015) Chambers states: “I have always liked Minimalist works and as a digital artist, I began to explore the pixel as an art form in 2000. As I did research, and experimented with this picture element, I also began to read about Kazimir Malevich and his extreme Minimalist approach with ‘Black Square’. The more I contemplated his ‘Black Square’, the deeper I moved into the pixel and consequently the creation of the ‘My Dear Malevich’ project, which revealed similar to identical Suprematist forms that he created. I have focused on the pixel and his ‘Black Square’ ever since.” My Dear Malevich (MDM) (http://tomrchambers.com/malevich.html) In 2007, Chambers traveled (via magnification) into a digitized photograph of Malevich and discovered at the singular pixel level arrangements which echo back directly to Malevich's own totally abstract compositions. -
Nature and the American Vision: the Hudson River School
Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School “The painter of American scenery has indeed privileges superior to any other; all nature here is new to Art.” —Thomas Cole Nature and the American Vision: The Hudson River School is designed as a grand tour of the nineteenth-century American landscape, and the paintings on view reveal much about issues of national identity, westward expansion, mistreatment of the native population, and the beginnings of environmentalism in the United States. These curriculum materials are intended to help teachers discuss the paintings of the Hudson River School, in hopes that the works explored here can be used to create lessons in social science, language arts, geography, natural history, and science, among other subjects. The Hudson River School, which emerged by 1825 and continued to thrive until the end of the nineteenth century, was the first truly American art movement. While the term “Hudson River School” originated as a dismissive nickname referring to the perceived provincialism of its members, in time it came to represent a distinctive and vibrant movement devoted to the depiction of untamed American scenery as a symbol of America’s independent spirit. In Europe, writers and painters were exploring landscape as a vehicle through which to communicate universal truths, and landscape painting was acquiring more prestige as nature was increasingly associated with spirituality and the divine in Western culture. As these ideas spread to the United States, landscape acquired new connotations within American culture. The Hudson River School celebrated the exploration of the natural world as a source of spiritual renewal and an expression of national identity. -
The Ashcan School: a Literature Review Chris O'neill History 297 April 13, 2018
The Ashcan School: A Literature Review Chris O’Neill History 297 April 13, 2018 Abstract The Ashcan School was a group of artists painting in turn-of-the twentieth century New York. They painted in what was then an unconventional style known as Urban Realism. Various scholars have studied the group from various perspectives over the last century. The earliest writing is from when the artists where fresh on the American art scene. This early art critic labeled them as revolutionary. The first scholarly writing about the school would not be published until some thirty-five years after the group's pinnacle of success. Consequently, they would no longer be depicted as revolutionary. These scholars, nevertheless, write of the importance that these turn-of-the century artists had in the history of New York. Their writing reflects the different training each scholar had, their purpose, and the time that they were writing in. 1 The Ashcan School was a loosely-affiliated group of artists who painted in New York City during the Progressive Era. The group consisted of Robert Henri (1865-1929), their leader; George Bellows (1882-1925), William Glackens (1870-1938), George Luks (1867-1933), Everett Shinn (1876-1953), and John Sloan (1871-1951). Glackens, Luks, Shinn, and Sloan knew one another through the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and various Philadelphia newspapers where they worked as illustrators. They met regularly with Henri at his art studio in Philadelphia to receive advice and encouragement. After sojourns to Europe the group set up in New York City. George Bellows joined the group after studying under Henri in New York. -

These artists took advantage of their worker status to learn and practice art legitimately in the Mass Art System of the time. They developed their particular style and vision of art from their amateur art training, forbidden visual and textual sources in the underground cultural sphere, and official theoretical debates on art. -
New York City Through the Eyes of Its Artists
New York City through the Eyes of Its Artists In the nineteenth century, American Impressionist artist Childe Hassam described New York City as “the most wonderful and most beautiful city in the world. All life is in it . No street, no section of Paris or any other city I have seen equal to New York.” His artwork was inspired by parks, pristine residential districts and genteel strolling pedestrians. Yet the dawn of the twentieth century would bring a deluge of European immigrants to the shores of New York City and a plethora of rapidly advancing technology, creating a new modern metropolis unlike anything that had been seen before. Gone was the picturesque city of the nineteenth century Hassam adored; a city made of brick and timber, its streets filled with horse drawn carriages. These remnants of a by-gone century had been replaced with soaring towers of glass and steel, streets teeming with noisy streetcars, electrified subways and elevated railroads, motor buses and electric streetlights. Advances in technology had revolutionized the look and feel of the city. The skyscraper towered above it all, its verticality an emblem for urban innovation. For Hassam, a stalwart proponent of the picturesque nineteenth century New York, these new tall buildings were, “wildly formed architectural freak[s]” and not “marvel[s] of art.” The more progressive looking the building, the less appealing it was for Hassam to represent it in his artwork. When he did include modern buildings in his artwork, they were often anonymous and generic, blending in with the older buildings he favored. -
