The New York Observer January 10, 2000
The New York Observer January 10, 2000 Müller and Thompson: Adjuncts in Art By Mario Naves The paintings of Jan Müller (1922-1958) and Bob Thompson (1937-1966), the subject of the exhibition “Search for the Unicorn” at Lori Bookstein Fine Art, are so striking in their similarities that one initially assumes they were colleagues working in intimate correspondence towards a common goal: the establishment of a post-Ab- Ex school of painting that embraced the Arcadian, the mythic, and the figure. Coming upon “Jan Müller’s Funeral” (1958) at Bookstein, we presume that this somber canvas was Thompson’s homage to his mentor. Which is, in a sense, precisely the case, as is the notion that both men were adjuncts in art. Yet, in actuality, Müller and Thompson never met, a fact that comes as a surprise when comparing their respective work. Thompson did eventually befriend Müller’s widow, Dody, who sternly advised the young artist not to “ever look for your solutions from contemporaries—look at Old Masters.” He would heed this advice—Thompson’s paintings are replete with quotations from Masaccio, Piero della Francesca, Poussin and others—but did not ignore the juggernaut that was the New York School. This mix resulted in densely packed canvases that are flat and bright, cluttered and hasty, electric and ambitious. Thompson can’t be considered, as the painter Jay Milder described him, “a great synthesist;” the work is too unfocused to earn such a moniker and is notable more for its promise than its attainment. But the paintings Thompson left behind upon his untimely death of a drug overdoes in 1966 do form one of the most tantalizing, and frustrating, “What if’s?” in recent art history. -

A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture
COVERFEATURE THE PAAMPROVINCETOWN ART ASSOCIATION AND MUSEUM 2014 A Stellar Century of Cultivating Culture By Christopher Busa Certainly it is impossible to capture in a few pages a century of creative activity, with all the long hours in the studio, caught between doubt and decision, that hundreds of artists of the area have devoted to making art, but we can isolate some crucial directions, key figures, and salient issues that motivate artists to make art. We can also show why Provincetown has been sought out by so many of the nation’s notable artists, performers, and writers as a gathering place for creative activity. At the center of this activity, the Provincetown Art Associ- ation, before it became an accredited museum, orga- nized the solitary efforts of artists in their studios to share their work with an appreciative pub- lic, offering the dynamic back-and-forth that pushes achievement into social validation. Without this audience, artists suffer from lack of recognition. Perhaps personal stories are the best way to describe PAAM’s immense contribution, since people have always been the true life source of this iconic institution. 40 PROVINCETOWNARTS 2014 ABOVE: (LEFT) PAAM IN 2014 PHOTO BY JAMES ZIMMERMAN, (righT) PAA IN 1950 PHOTO BY GEORGE YATER OPPOSITE PAGE: (LEFT) LUCY L’ENGLE (1889–1978) AND AGNES WEINRICH (1873–1946), 1933 MODERN EXHIBITION CATALOGUE COVER (PAA), 8.5 BY 5.5 INCHES PAAM ARCHIVES (righT) CHARLES W.

But as they were profoundly committed to the energetic Abstract Expressionist way of painting that had been formative of their styles, they would not give it up, choosing instead to adapt it to their equally profound need to paint recognizable imagery. Artists like Grace Hartigan, Elaine De Kooning, and Lester Johnson in the east, Nathan Oliviera, Elaine DeKooning Richard Diebenkorn, and David Parks in the west, and Vera Clement in Chicago had only this dual allegiance in common. The paintings of twenty-seven major American Figurative Expressionists have been Figurative Expressionists have been organized by Kresge Art Museum Curator April Kingsley into an exhibition which will open at the Kresge Art Museum in fall/winter 2010 and then be available to travel to other venues starting in 2011. The catalogue, published by the Michigan State University Press, will have approximately 200 pages and 50 color reproductions. -

SHFAP and Martha Henry Present
shfap SHFAP and Martha Henry present Pairings: Gandy Brodie / Bob Thompson: The Ecstasy of Influence, an exhibition about the painterly relationship of Gandy Brodie and Bob Thompson in the late 1950’s. Gandy Brodie and Bob Thompson both spent the summer of 1958 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, amidst a community of other artists that included Mimi Gross, Red Grooms, Jay Milder, Wolf Kahn, Emilio Cruz, Lester Johnson, Anne Tabachnick, Dody Müller and Christopher Lane. Art historian Judith Wilson characterized that Provincetown summer as exemplifying an “ecstasy of influence”: the influences of contemporary figurative painters on Thompson’s work. She wrote about this community in the 1998 Whitney Museum exhibition catalogue for Thompson’s retrospective. Jan Müller who died in January of 1958, was undeniably a significant influence on the developing Bob Thompson, despite the fact that they never met. However, the influences of other members of this community on Thompson have been less explored. Wilson touches on this as she quotes a mutual friend of Brodie and Thompson, the painter Emilio Cruz. Cruz has stated that Thompson painted “his first figurative paintings” in response to the influence of Gandy Brodie. In her Whitney essay, Wilson notes that “The gray-brown palette, division of the canvas into large rectangles of contrasting light and dark tones, and the mask- like treatment of faces, as in Brodie’s “The Penetration of a Thought”, 1958 and Thompson’s “Differences”, 1958, seems to bear this out.” This exhibition includes both “The Penetration of a Thought”, 1958 by Brodie and Thompson’s “Differences”, 1958, among 12 paintings all from the period steven harvey fine art projects gallery 24 east 73 street, #2f new york ny 10021 917.861.7312 office 780 riverside drive # 5aa new york ny 10032 212.281.2281 e [email protected] w www.shfap.com shfap between 1958 and 1964, exploring this influence and relationship between these two important post-war figurative painters. -

Oral History Interview with Red Grooms, 1974 Mar. 4-18
Oral history interview with Red Grooms, 1974 Mar. 4-18 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 Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Red Grooms on 1974 March 4-18. The interview was conducted at Grooms' studio by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. This is a rough transcription that may include typographical errors. Interview PC: March 4, 1974, Paul Cummings talking to Red Grooms in his studio at 85 Walker Street. You were born in Nashville, Tennessee on June first, 1937. RG: No, on June second. This is getting to be ridiculous. Somebody has got to get this straight. PC: So it is June second? RG: Yes. But now the date is beginning to wander all over the place. I've seen it given as the seventeenth. You see, what happened is that the damn birth certificate—I finally had to get a passport and looked up my birth certificate and it had June first on there. Which I guess is a mistake unless my parents are goofy. So the birth certificate actually showed June first and they really make you put that on the passport even if it's wrong.
