  • John Sloan's Illustrations for the Novels of Charles Paul De Kock Oct
    Drawn to SSATIREATIRE John Sloan’s Illustrations for the Novels of Charles Paul de Kock Oct. 24, 2009 –March 29, 2010 The Susan and Stephen Chandler Wing of the Virginia Steele Scott Galleries of American Art The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens ThThee MMisplacedisplaced KKISSISS REMARQUES A remarque is a small sketch made anywhere in the margins of an etching plate and originally served as a way for artists to test the sharpness of their etching needles. By the late 19th century, print dealers promoted “remarque proofs” as more valuable and ex - clusive than impressions without them. Sloan’s remarques, included on etchings found in the most deluxe editions of the de Kock novels, are often clever puns on the illustrations and enhance their meaning. The Misplaced Kiss ,1905, etching, state 2 of 3, 6 x 4 in. (also on the cover). From the novel Cherami , vol. 1. Partial and promised gift of Gary, Brenda, and Harrison Ruttenberg. The dual cause of The Misplaced Kiss —alcohol and ardor—can be found in the remarque of a blindfolded, tipsy cupid next to an overturned champagne bottle and glass. Although illustrating only a moment in the narrative, Sloan infuses the remarque with the essence of the scene. rom 1902 to 1905, American artist John Sloan F(1871–1951) created 53 etchings to illustrate novels by French author Charles Paul de Kock (1793 –1871), whose satires of early 19th-century Parisian society were popular in the United States around the turn of the century. While Sloan is best known for his gritty depictions of life in the streets, taverns, and tenements of New York City, the de Kock commission gave him the op portunity to refine his etching technique and hone his ability to convey anecdotal incidents with wry humor.

    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

Washington, D.C.—This fall, The Phillips Collection examines the Neo-Impressionist movement through a new lens with its special exhibition, Neo-Impressionism and the Dream of Realities: Painting, Poetry, Music. Highlighting 15 artists and more than 70 works, the exhibition demonstrates that the Neo- Impressionists, a group generally identified by its pointillist technique and emphasis on the representation of reality, were in fact influenced by their literary Symbolist contemporaries and created evocative, suggestive compositions inspired by ideas and dialogue between the two groups. Neo-Impressionism will be on view at the Phillips from September 27, 2014, through January 11, 2015. The lush exhibition focuses on the Neo- Impressionist movement in Brussels and Paris around 1890. During this time, the exchange of ideas and interactions between painters, poets, and musicians were particularly fruitful and compelled the Neo-Impressionists to create works that accentuated evocative atmosphere. Their paintings and works on paper often transformed reality in a way that seemed to be a departure from the group’s beginnings in 1886; at that time, it was hailed as an alternative to Impressionism that offered a fresh opportunity to focus on light and Paul Signac, Place des Lices, St.

Throughout his career, Lawson focused his attentions on the city’s half-developed border, where colonial-era farms, apartment blocks, tenements, and squatter shanties intermingled. These contradictory spaces were the material products of an uncoordinated and irregular process of urbanization driven by real estate speculation.
