The foundation is housed in a four story townhouse, with the artist's dramatic sculpture studio on the ground floor (fig. 2). Gross built the studio in 1963 when he purchased the building. It was his final workspace after a long history of studios he had in the Village beginning in the 1930s.1 He and his wife Renee rented the second floor, and in the third floor living space, Gross installed a portion of what had grown to Fig. 1.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 * UXl -L1VUVU1U'^x M * ",l" " MUSEUM OF MODERN ART OPENS EXHIBITION OF GALDER MOBILES, STABILES, CONSTELLATIONS AND JEWELRY An American sculptor, peculiarly the product of his age and country, will be presented in a full-length retrospective exhibition Wednesday, September 29, when nearly one hundred sculptures, con­ structions, drawings, and pieces of Jewelry by Alexander Calder go on view at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibi­ tion, directed by James Johnson Sweeney assisted by Margaret Miller of the Museum staff, will be shown in the first floor galleries and sculpture garden of the Museum and will remain on view through Sunday, November 28. The installation has been designed by Herbert Matter, who has also takren many of the photographs for the catalog. Mr. Sweeney has written the text for the sixty-eight-page catalog illustrated with fifty-eight halftones, which the Museum is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition. €n his introduction Mr. Sweeney writes in part as follows: "Exuberance, buoyancy, vigor are characteristics of a young art. Humor, when it is a vitalizing force not a surface distraction, adds a dimension to dignity. Dignity is the product of an artists whole-hearted abandon to his work. All these are features of Alexander Calder1s work,together with a sensibility to materials that induces new forms and an insatiable interest in fresh patterns of order. "On the side of tradition, two generations of sculptors—father and grandfather—gave him an intimate familiarity with the grammar and conventions of art.

  • Jose De Creeft (1884-1982)
    JOSE DE CREEFT (1884-1982) Starting from his humble beginnings in Spain to his early international success in Paris, which was subsequently surpassed in America, Jose de Creeft forged his name in stone as a major American artist by the early 1940s. Known as one of the major contributors in developing key techniques in modernist sculpting, de Creeft drew from a wide variety of resources, among them primitivism, tribalism, abstraction, linearism, Folk Art, and his imagination, to create works which duly supported his ingenuity as an artist and capitalized on his versatility in successfully using any medium, style and theme. His sculptures, paintings and drawings all retain a unique sensibility; one which simultaneously references the past and the future. Most importantly, de Creeft’s oeuvre retains all of the nuances and elements of human expression in its most intimate and fleeting moments. He successfully captured the soul of the medium and subject matter, transcending his emotional energy through his carving. SCULPTURE In 1915, de Creeft was living in Paris among the modern artists of the first wave of modernism. Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Joan Miró and Georges Braque were all instrumental in the European and American modernist movements, and the Parisian ambiance set the stage for invaluable discussions on art, criticism and methodology. Desiring to formulate his own personal aesthetic, de Creeft departed from the traditional techniques and traditions of sculpting, which helped frame the conservative academic institutions worldwide, and instead wholeheartedly applied himself to the process of “taille direct,” direct carving. De Creeft’s earliest introduction to carving was in 1900, at the age of sixteen, where he was apprenticed to a workshop in Barcelona to carve wood reproductions of devotional figures.

  • Julio González First Master of the Torch in Dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro
    Julio González First Master of the Torch in dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro González: First Master of the Torch David Smith, ARTnews, February 1956 The Bull in its symbolic action has stood for many things in Picasso’s history, things Spanish and things noble. The Bull has been the artist, the people of Spain, the open-eyed conscience of free men, the disemboweler of the lie of Franco, the aggressive protector of women, and among other symbols, the lover of woman. But after the death of Julio González, Picasso’s friend of forty-five years, the Bull becomes a skull on a green and blue fractioned table before the window curtained in violet and black. Coming home from the funeral Picasso had done this picture of a bull’s skull and dedicated it: “En homage à González.” To the wall of his studio was tacked a snapshot of his friend. For Picasso all source of life becomes the nature of painting. On what peaks did memory ride — for they were friends from youth, from the days of the Barcelona café, Els Quatre Gats. In 1901 Picasso shared González’s living quarters in Paris until he found a studio. Throughout the succeeding years they remained on good terms, visiting each other, even working together; and then, the end at Arcueil in March of 1942. The youngest of four children (the others, his sisters Pilar and Lola, his brother Juan), González was born in Barcelona in 1876. Both Juan and Julio were apprenticed in their fa- ther’s metal shop, becoming third-generation smiths.
