  • Nolde’S Search for Ruleless Color
    [Note to readers: this is an older essay; it was written c. 1984 and hasn’t been revised since. (I still believe much of it, but it would need work.) Because computers have changed so much since then, this version lost its footnote numbers, its n-dashes, and a host of other typographic details. It has most of the illustrations, but some are missing—it’s readable without them. Please send comments, suggestions, etc., to me via the website, www.jameselkins.com.] NIGHT, COLORSTORMS, AND THE UNNATURAL: EMIL NOLDE’S SEARCH FOR RULELESS COLOR James Elkins The painter had found himself, and colors were his language. Nolde Tropensonne (Tropical Sun, Plate l) was painted shortly after March, 1914 in a most obscure part of the world: the outpost of Käwieng in Neu-Mecklenburg (now New Ireland). Aside from its location, which is certainly more exotic than Gauguin’s Tahiti, it seems the painting is fairly straightforward. Its subject matter is clear—once the viewer recognises the distant shapes on the horizon as trees—and it has simple forms and few colors. There are in fact only six pigments: two warm, two cool, and black and white. The red sky and sun are painted in Scharlachzinnober, our scarlet vermilion, and the darker sky is a wild, sultry madder, possibly violet Krapplach, which is close to our manganese violet. Opposed to them are a green and blue: the cold green is probably Malachitgrün (close to our “emerald green”), and the light blue under a breaking wave is helles Kobaltblau, modern cerulean blue.

  • Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States (June 5–September 1)
    1941 Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States (June 5–September 1) Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States was the museum’s opening exhibition, highlighting trends in American art from colonial times onward as it reflected the unique culture and history of the United States. The exhibition also exemplified the mission of the SBMA to be a center for the promotion of art in the community as well as a true museum (Exhibition Catalogue, 13). The exhibition included nearly 140 pieces by an array of artists, such as Winslow Homer (1836–1910), Walt Kuhn (1877–1949), Edward Hopper (1882–1967), Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953), and Charles Burchfield (1893–1967), and A very positive review of the exhibition appeared in the June issue of Art News, with particular accolades going to the folk art section. The Santa Barbara News-Press wrote up the opening in the June 1 edition, and Director Donald Bear wrote a series of articles for the News-Press that elaborated on the themes, content, and broader significance of the exhibition. Three paintings from this exhibition became part of the permanent collection of the SBMA: Henry Mattson’s (1873–1953) Night Mystery, Max Weber’s (1881–1961) Winter Twilight, and Katherine Schmidt’s (1899–1978) Pear in Paper Bag (scrapbook 1941–1944–10). The theme of this exhibition was suggested by Mrs. Spreckels (Emily Hall Spreckels (Tremaine)) at a Board meeting and was unanimously approved. The title of the exhibition was suggested by Donald Bear, also unanimously approved by the Board. Van Gogh Paintings (September 9) Seventeen of Vincent van Gogh’s (1853–1890) paintings were shown in this exhibition of the “most tragic painter in history.” This exhibition was shown in conjunction with the Master Impressionists show (see “Three Master French Impressionists” below).

  • Color & Process
    Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University presents: Color & Process Color & Art We have all seen beautiful, intricate and complex works of art that have made us marvel at the artist’s ability to create. We can find joy in viewing art, but art can also bring joy to its maker. Many artists find creating art therapeutic as it can be a means of expressing things that are difficult to verbalize. Art can be tied to different emotions through the colors chosen and the subject matter, both for the artist and for the viewer. What kind of art do you most enjoy viewing or creating? What colors are most impactful for you? Leo Valledor, Sunprize, 1970 How does art bring you joy? What other Acrylic on canvas, 90 x 60 in. emotions do you feel when looking at art? Gift of the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation Exploring Color Artists strategically use color as one of their means of communication. They know that color is tied closely with emotion. Colors often have cultural associations to certain activities like weddings, funerals, or holidays. They also have associations with specific groups of people like doctors (white coats) babies (pastels, primary colors), or places Hilaire Hiler, Parabolic Orange to Leaf Green, 1942 like the USA (red, white and blue). Oil on board, 23.5 x 27.625 in. Gift of the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation Using color strategically can help us express or depict emotions. These works focus on color as an integral part of the composition. What emotions or associations can you connect with the colors you see?
