  • Richard-Hambleton-Catalog-1.Pdf
    REFLECTIONS Now the sine qua non of mega-collectors and elite auction houses around the world, the once subversive “Street Art” that originated in New York City in the 1980s with such artists as Keith Haring and Jean Michel Basquiat has redefined where and how we look at art. Today, in the streets and in contemporary galleries, names such as Banksy, Stik and Shepard Fairey are familiar to hip, younger collectors. With fairs and festivals from New York to the Greek Islands and beyond, “Street Art” has become a global phenomenon. The wave of creativity that began to be noticed thirty-five years ago in New York’s East Village and brought renown to such ‘tags’ as “Samo,” “Crash,” “Daze” and “Lady Pink” was a fertile, drug fueled period of spray and splatter. Julian Schnabel had begun to make headlines for the upstart Mary Boone Gallery as Ronald Reagan became President and scientists raced to contain the spread of a mysterious and deadly new virus (HIV Aids). It was into this environment that Canadian artist Richard Hambleton arrived. Hambleton’s first stop in America was the west coast of the United States. He used funds from a grant to visit cities like Seattle and San Francisco, where he caused an uproar with his controversial “Mass Murder” series. The artist peppered the sidewalks with white chalk outlines of bodies – like those a police coroner sketches around the victim of a crime – the bloodier looking the better. The authorities were not amused. He was told also, that he was ineligible for future grant money by his donors.

  • Impressionist Adventures
    impressionist adventures THE NORMANDY & PARIS REGION GUIDE 2020 IMPRESSIONIST ADVENTURES, INSPIRING MOMENTS! elcome to Normandy and Paris Region! It is in these regions and nowhere else that you can admire marvellous Impressionist paintings W while also enjoying the instantaneous emotions that inspired their artists. It was here that the art movement that revolutionised the history of art came into being and blossomed. Enamoured of nature and the advances in modern life, the Impressionists set up their easels in forests and gardens along the rivers Seine and Oise, on the Norman coasts, and in the heart of Paris’s districts where modernity was at its height. These settings and landscapes, which for the most part remain unspoilt, still bear the stamp of the greatest Impressionist artists, their precursors and their heirs: Daubigny, Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh, Luce and many others. Today these regions invite you on a series of Impressionist journeys on which to experience many joyous moments. Admire the changing sky and light as you gaze out to sea and recharge your batteries in the cool of a garden. Relive the artistic excitement of Paris and Montmartre and the authenticity of the period’s bohemian culture. Enjoy a certain Impressionist joie de vivre in company: a “déjeuner sur l’herbe” with family, or a glass of wine with friends on the banks of the Oise or at an open-air café on the Seine. Be moved by the beauty of the paintings that fill the museums and enter the private lives of the artists, exploring their gardens and homes-cum-studios.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The rise of neo-conservatism defined the critical context of many appraisals of artistic work produced in downtown New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although initial reviews of the scene were largely enthusiastic, subsequent assessments of artistic work from this period have been largely negative. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf have been assessed primarily in terms of gentrification, commodification, and political commitment relying upon various theoretical assumptions about social processes. The conclusions reached have primarily centred upon the lack of resistance by these artists to post­ industrial capitalism in its various manifestations.

  • Yeats at Petitpas' 1910/C
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 John Sloan American, 1871 - 1951 Yeats at Petitpas' 1910/c. 1914 oil on canvas overall: 66.2 × 81.28 cm (26 1/16 × 32 in.) framed: 80.96 × 96.36 × 6.51 cm (31 7/8 × 37 15/16 × 2 9/16 in.) Inscription: lower right: John Sloan Corcoran Collection (Museum Purchase, Gallery Fund) 2014.136.54 ENTRY In August 1910 the realist painter John Sloan began this group portrait of regulars at Petitpas’, a French restaurant and boardinghouse in the Chelsea district of Manhattan. The work joined other Ashcan school artists’ depictions of casual dining experiences in urban eateries that focused on portraiture and narrative, such as At Mouquin’s by William Glackens (American, 1870 - 1938) [fig. 1]. [1] The Ashcan school, informally led by Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929), generally focused on the everyday life of the working classes rather than idealized views of the city. George Luks (American, 1866 - 1933) and George Bellows (American, 1882 - 1925) completed a watercolor and a print, respectively, featuring Petitpas’ as well [fig. 2], but Sloan’s large image in oil is the most ambitious of the three. [2] The scene takes place in the enclosed backyard of the restaurant, where the dining room was located in the hot summer months. The party gathers around a table placed under an awning decorated with a French flag. [3] At the head sits John Butler Yeats, smoking and sketching. Yeats, the Irish portrait painter and father of the poet William Butler Yeats, lived at Petitpas’ from 1909 until his death in 1922.

Although he was fully two decades younger than some of the elder statesmen of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Jack Roth exhibited alongside Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Philip Guston, William Baziotes and others while still in his twenties. Roth was a true polymath, pursuing interests in chemistry, literature, music, mathematics and Zen Buddhism in addition to painting. Despite the rarified company he kept and his many accomplishments, Jack Roth’s contributions to 20th century modernist painting have been largely overlooked until fairly recently. Rachel Roth, his wife of fifty years, remembered him this way: “Jack was the hardest working person I’ve ever known. I’ve never said this before, but I think he was a genius, and I don’t say that lightly!” to Big Sur where he began to explore his interests in painting and sculpture and played chess with his friend Henry Miller. Roth moved to San Francisco in 1949 and enrolled in the California School of Fine Arts where he studied under Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Richard Diebenkorn. He re- enrolled at Penn State in 1951 and earned his Bachelor’s in chemistry, an achievement later followed by a Master of Fine Arts from the State University of Iowa in 1952, and a PhD in La Gaîté oil on canvas 1958 72” x 60” mathematics from Duke University in 1962.

  • Richard Hambleton Preface
    A selection of my most recent writing for Munich’s Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art: Preface of our Richard Hambleton retrospective. Richard Hambleton is a foundational urban artist in more than one sense. The mysterious ferocity of this pioneering vandal’s interventions has set the tone for street art’s brazen approach since. His preference for anonymity in the appropriation of public space consciously marginalised his own identity as an artist; much of his elusive life was spent, quite literally, in the shadows. Both his themes and methods move along outer boundaries and reflect a figure well-acquainted with urban abyss. The liminal imagery of Hambleton’s mischievous street art conjures the very real darkness underlying mass spectacle; it generated feedback with a paranoia that, to this day, echoes across the public landscape. The warmth and enthusiasm with which collectors overseas contributed to our curation has enabled us to retrace the artist’s creative phases through a life that drifted between rockstardom and the void. Our retrospective encompasses the full range of Hambleton’s oeuvre, from 1983 to his death in 2017. His earliest public interventions, pretend crime scenes, spun into a performance that teased the limits of law, with Hambleton hanging up wanted posters that blurred into a murderous detective chasing himself. The victim outlines soon morphed from pavements onto city walls in his I Only Have Eyes for You series, ghost-like paste works that French street artist JR credits as an inspiration for his own renowned projects. The paper on which Hambleton printed his life-size likeness faded, leaving behind a pale trace – a white shadow.
