Introducing light, color, 1 and music to dry-goods emporia, these “palaces of consumption” transformed mere trade into occasions for pleasure and spectacle. Through the early twentieth century, department stores remained centers of social activity in local communities. But after World War II, suburban growth and the ubiquity of automobiles shifted the seat of economic prosperity to malls and shopping centers. The subsequent rise of discount big-box stores and electronic shopping accelerated the pace at which local department stores were shuttered or absorbed by national chains.

This is such an intervention—a strong and exhilarating book.”—Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University “Daniel Boyarin demolishes the long-standing notion that diaspora was born out of despair and sorrow. A highly erudite, suggestive, and provocative study on the concept of diaspora, and the Jewish diaspora in particular.” —Oded Irshai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem A word conventionally imbued with melancholy meanings, “diaspora” has been used variously to describe the cataclysmic historical event of displacement, the subsequent geographical scattering of peoples, or the conditions of alienation abroad and yearning for an ancestral home. But as Daniel Boyarin writes, diaspora may be more constructively construed as a form of cultural hybridity or a mode of analysis. In A Traveling Homeland, he makes the case that a shared homeland or past and traumatic dissociation are not necessary conditions for 2 diaspora, and that Jews carry their homeland with them in diaspora, in the form of textual, interpretive communities built around talmudic study.

  • George Bellows on Monhegan Island
    David Peters Corbett The World Is Terrible and It Is Not There at All: George Bellows on Monhegan Island Painted on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine during the summer of 1913, George Bellows’s small oil on panel Churn and Break (fig. 1) depicts a shore and its surrounding sea. The observer’s gaze encounters a mound of dark, almost black, rocks, which glisten with trails of moisture and light. To the left, the sea, sweeping in a great wave up against the rocks, threatens to overtop the ridge. In the midground, further dramatic swells rise and fall, and overhead, in a dreary sky, Bellows’s paint describes the insistent perpendicular fall of rain. Above the rocks and to the right, a plume of spray, dense and gray and white, jets up in a balletic swirl of creamy pigment. Bellows’s painting uses dazzling mixed brushwork to portray the variety of forms and textures of this scene, from the fluid lines and sinuous handling of the fore- ground sea to the dragged marks that describe the descending curtain of rain and cast a shadowy veil across the distance. The world we are confronted by in Churn and Break seems to fall into two disparate levels of experience: on the one hand, a discrete, self-contained universe of vital but inhuman matter, formed by the crashing sea and mute shoreline; on the other, an intimately human domain, the gestural runs and virtuoso flourishes of Bellows’s hand and brush.1 Despite this apparently radical division, the two levels also merge fleetingly into a single identity.

  • Realist Art in 20Th Century America Illustrated Seminar by Barry Venning
    Realist Art in 20th Century America Background notes Barry Venning - 21 November 2018 Leon Golub,Vietnam II, 1973 Acrylic paint on canvas, 294 x 1151.1 cm. Tate Winchester Art History Group www.wahg.org.uk 1 Realism in 20th Century American Art For many critics and historians, especially those writing in the third quarter of the 20th century, the greatest achievements of American art appeared to be those of post-war Abstract Expressionist artists such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko or Willem de Kooning. In his celebrated book, ‘The Triumph of American Painting’, (1976), the art historian Irving Sandler pictured the abstract art produced in New York after World War II as a US victory over an enfeebled and exhausted European visual culture. Sandler and others viewed Abstract Expressionism as a body of work that was both aesthetically radical and distinctively American. In comparison with the ‘heroic’ achievements of Pollock and his peers, however, the Realism that dominated pre-war American art appeared to be conservative in form, limited in ambition and parochial in outlook. The dominant post-war artistic theory, which was known as modernism, further marginalised those artists who attempted to render the world around them. According to the most influential proponent of modernist theory, Clement Greenberg, it was the purely aesthetic qualities of an art work – colour, line and form - that determined its value, not its subject matter or its social significance. Greenberg didn’t dismiss Realist art altogether; he acknowledged, for example, that Edward Hopper had a distinctive artistic vision, but he also said he “is not a painter in the full sense; his means are second-hand, shabby, and impersonal.” He was, in other words, an artist of the second rank.

  • Painting Civilization by Charles Raskob Robinson
    T O DAYT’ S MASTERS ™ Pamela Talese: Painting Civilization BY CHARLES RASKOB ROBINSON GH ast season, art lovers in Washington, D.C., New York City, and LLondon were treated to the superb touring retrospective of Pamela Talese’s bicycle with its trailer and the George Bellows (1882-1925), one of the American masters admired easel set-up it carries most by the contemporary artist Pamela Talese (b. 1964). Many Bellows paintings open a fascinating window on the dynamic growth that New York City experienced a century ago; indeed, many were conceived out- doors in some of the city’s roughest patches, most famously the deep pit that teemed with the men and machines constructing Pennsylvania Station between 1904 and 1910. Bellows documented the start of New York’s greatest building boom, while Talese keeps busy chronicling its denouement — the deterioration of what Bellows’s contemporaries built — or what Talese affectionately calls “Rust.” Thus she can often be found pedaling her bicycle — which tows a trailer loaded with painting equipment — around the city’s decaying waterfronts and other no-go zones. Talese is a highly observant plein air painter who requires many hours to capture what she is after. First, this means establishing legitimate and safe Talese particularly admires the loose brushwork in Bellows’s 1912 access to places where attractive women are not usually encountered, espe- painting Men of the Docks: “I am in awe of the way his bravura cap- cially alone — such as the dry docks of the 200-year-old Brooklyn Navy Yard, tured the tensions so evident in the building of early 20th-century or at the foot of crumbling power plants and sugar refineries.

  • George Bellows in Great Britain.Docx
    George Bellows in Great Britain George Bellows (1882-1925) produced the most innovative and forceful realist paintings in America during the first quarter of the 20th Century, following the bold creations of Winslow Homer and leading to the hallowed images of Edward Hopper. All three of these giants of American art painted figure and genre subjects as well as landscapes and have by now achieved international renown, in the case of Bellows quite recently, with two major museum acquisitions. Pursuant to a small focused exhibition of Bellows and his progressive colleagues at the National Gallery in London and the Bellows retrospective presented at the Royal Academy of Arts, the National Gallery made the very notable purchase in 2014 of Bellows’s 1912 masterpiece Men of the Docks. A year later the Barber Institute of Fine Arts of the University of Birmingham acquired Bellows’s rare and striking Early Standing Nude of 1906 that had been the centerpiece of Collisart’s selection at the Masterpiece fair in 2015. Thus, there are two major examples by George Bellows in two distinguished British museum collections, in each case the first acquisition of a traditional American painting. Indeed Bellows is a quintessential American artist; while his esthetic in many ways echoes European precedents – from such Old Masters as Velazquez, Goya and Rembrandt to such 19th-Century masters as Courbet and Manet – whose work he studied with great enthusiasm in the Metropolitan and other New York museums, Bellows was intent on creating as purely an American canon of canvases as he could. Collisart has two impressive Bellows landscapes at Masterpiece this year: Clouds and Hills of 1909 and Village on the Green of 1916.
