  • HARD FACTS and SOFT SPECULATION Thierry De Duve

    HARD FACTS and SOFT SPECULATION Thierry De Duve

    THE STORY OF FOUNTAIN: HARD FACTS AND SOFT SPECULATION Thierry de Duve ABSTRACT Thierry de Duve’s essay is anchored to the one and perhaps only hard fact that we possess regarding the story of Fountain: its photo in The Blind Man No. 2, triply captioned “Fountain by R. Mutt,” “Photograph by Alfred Stieglitz,” and “THE EXHIBIT REFUSED BY THE INDEPENDENTS,” and the editorial on the facing page, titled “The Richard Mutt Case.” He examines what kind of agency is involved in that triple “by,” and revisits Duchamp’s intentions and motivations when he created the fictitious R. Mutt, manipulated Stieglitz, and set a trap to the Independents. De Duve concludes with an invitation to art historians to abandon the “by” questions (attribution, etc.) and to focus on the “from” questions that arise when Fountain is not seen as a work of art so much as the bearer of the news that the art world has radically changed. KEYWORDS, Readymade, Fountain, Independents, Stieglitz, Sanitary pottery Then the smell of wet glue! Mentally I was not spelling art with a capital A. — Beatrice Wood1 No doubt, Marcel Duchamp’s best known and most controversial readymade is a men’s urinal tipped on its side, signed R. Mutt, dated 1917, and titled Fountain. The 2017 centennial of Fountain brought us a harvest of new books and articles on the famous or infamous urinal. I read most of them in the hope of gleaning enough newly verified facts to curtail my natural tendency to speculate. But newly verified facts are few and far between.
  • Archives of American Art Journal, Vol. 49 Nos. 1-2: the Anniversary Issue

    Archives of American Art Journal, Vol. 49 Nos. 1-2: the Anniversary Issue

    From the director This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of theArchives of American Art Journal. What started as a modest pamphlet for announcing new acquisitions and other Archives’ activities soon blossomed into one of the signature publications for the dissemination of new research in the field of American art history. During its history, the Archives has published the work of most of the leading thinkers in the field. The list of contributors is far too long to include, but choose a name and most likely their bibliography will include an essay for the Journal. To celebrate this occasion, we mined the Journal’s archive and reprinted some of the finest and most representative work to have appeared in these pages in the past five decades. Additionally, we invited several leading scholars to prepare short testimonies to the value of the Journal and to the crucial role that the Archives has played in advancing not only their own work, but its larger mission to foster a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of American art and artists. I’m particularly grateful to Neil Harris, Patricia Hills, Gail Levin, Lucy Lippard, and H. Barbara Weinberg for their thoughtful tributes to the Journal. Additionally, I’d like to thank David McCarthy, Gerald Monroe, H. Barbara Weinberg, and Judith Zilczer for their essays. And I would like to make a very special acknowledgement to Garnett McCoy, who served as the Journal’s editor for thirty years. As our current editor Darcy Tell points out, the Journal’s vigor and intellectual rigor owe much to Garnett’s stewardship and keen Endpapers inspired by the Artists' Union logo.

  • CHILDE HASSAM: Docent Notes

    CHILDE HASSAM: Docent Notes

    CHILDE HASSAM: Docent Notes The Childe Hassam oil painting in the Mint‟s holdings –“The Stone Cottage, Old Lyme”- has always been a favorite of our museum visitors, at least in my experience. This short survey and biographical note is followed by a brief timeline and some authoritative quotes from art historians. Hassam (born in Boston in 1859, died at the summer home East Hampton NY 1935), is widely known as America‟s foremost Impressionist. He is often described as “the American Monet”, and his works were collected and admired during his life by major collectors such as Freer, Whitney, Frick, and White -–no struggling, starving, misunderstood artist he! “Stone Cottage, Old Lyme” is obviously painted outdoors (en plein air to use the French term), with a very pleasing impressionist palette – pastel and deep blues, greens, and yellows. Note that he used no blacks or greys. The sun is to the left and behind the cottage, casting a chimney shadow on the roof and shadow on the ground. While there is a wisp of smoke from the chimney, the people seem warmed by the sun. The adult walker is effectively silhouetted against the tree trunks. Hassam used the quick, short brushstrokes of the impressionist –though he decried this term, and never acknowledged being influenced by the French Impressionists--to give the characteristic vibrant, shimmering light effect. Unlike the French, his works always had form and did not disintegrate into simply “vibrations of light”. The strokes seem loose but controlled. Note the different qualities of brushwork: quick vigorous horizontals for the roof, choppy impasto for the foliage, wide diagonals for the sky.
