Ropac Newsletter GALERIE THADDAEUS ROPAC MIQUEL BARCELÓ Miquel Barceló was born in Felanitx, Majorca, Spain in 1957. In 1972, he moved to Palma to study at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios (Decorative Arts School). Two years later he had his first solo exhibition at the Casa de Cultura (Centre for Culture) in Manacor. In the mid seventies he moved to Barcelona to study at the Fine Arts School. Disappointed by the school, he left prematurely to follow his own artistic path. He began to paint, applying the paint in thick layers, and subjecting it to a variety of processes. It was this technique that became an essential element in his work and allowed him to explore his fascination with the behaviour of matter and decomposition. He made his international debut in 1982 when he was selected to represent Spain at documenta 7 in Kassel. In 1983, he made his first trip to Africa, living in the city of Gao in Mali. From this point onwards, Barceló divided his time between Paris and Majorca with prolonged and solitary periods in Mali living amongst the locals. These visits were periods of experimentation where Barceló made his own pigments using the local earth and created the first examples of his famous drawings devoured by termites. In 1993, he began to develop important sculptural works in bronze, plaster and ceramics. Over the following years the latter would come to play a major role in his œuvre.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Leo G. Mazow Curator of American Art, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Joyce Henri Robinson Curator, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor of Art History Adam Rome Associate Professor of History Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT In 1943, Peggy Guggenheim‘s Art of This Century gallery staged the first large-scale exhibition of collage in the United States. This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.

  • Esteban Vicente
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ESTEBAN VICENTE 16 December 2014 — 31 January 2015 NEW YORK, NEW YORK – AMERINGER | McENERY | YOHE is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Esteban Vicente. The exhibition will open on 16 December 2014 and remain on view through 31 January 2015. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Christina Kee accompanies the exhibition. Kee is a Brooklyn-based painter and writer as well as a Professor at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture where Vicente was one of the founding members. Esteban Vicente was a Spanish born artist who moved to the United States in 1936. By 1950, he was already a fixture of New York’s downtown art scene. Working alongside Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, Vicente assured his crucial role in the evolution of Abstract- Expressionist discourse. Painting nearly everyday by natural light, he attentively layered abstract and geometric shapes in delicate and sumptuous hues, with acute detail to the time of day and essence of space. Exhibited here, these late paintings are resplendent with the spatial sensibilities of Vicente’s detailed studies of abstraction, natural space, light, color, and reflection. With a sense of unparalleled immediacy, the artist’s expression of time, painted in richly rendered, ethereal palettes, is felt. Similarly to Claude Monet, Vicente’s delicate tonal shifts illustrate a glimpse of universe that exists in an hour of time, and the subliminal world of color abstractions he subsequently discovered. ESTEBAN VICENTE was born in Turégano, Spain in 1903. His father was an army officer and an amateur painter who took the young Vicente with him on visits to the Prado Museum.

  • ELLEN ROSEN Painter
    ELLEN ROSEN Painter - Collagist – Writer - Teacher "What I teach is the language of painting. The language is color, form, rhythm and structure. You have to learn the language before you can talk.” Esteban Vicente Ellen Rosen was born in New York City and has lived there her entire life. As a child she continually visited museums with her parents and later spent her teen years wondering the rooms of, the then much smaller, Museum of Modern Art, learning the work by heart. Rosen attended New York University where she studied with Helen Frankenthaler, Esteban Vicente, Milton Resnick, George Ortman and the critic and art historian Irving Sandler, among other which not only influenced her own work but enriched her extensive secondary carrier as a lecturer and teacher. In addition to attending NYU, from which she received a Bachelor of Science and a Masters, Rosen studied painting and art history at the University of California, writing and literature at Queens College and welding, sculpture and silver-smithing at Cornell University. She considers Frankenthaler and Vicente her major influences, along with Mark Rothko and Hans Hofmann. Coming from an Abstract Expressionist base, Rosen’s work has remained basically non-objective. Large, soft rectangles move in and out on the surface of the canvases, floating on color that often recedes and advances around the major forms. Color is an important component in her work. Each rectangle contains many small brushstrokes that live independently or combine to create amorphic forms within the larger mass. The edge of each rectangle vibrates and changes. There is a mixture of tension and atmosphere with no hard edges.

    Esteban Vicente. The Red Form November 6th 2013 – January 31st 2014 The technique is in the language. The language is the technique Esteban Vicente. Untitled, 1996 | 81,2 x 114,3 cm | Oil on canvas Galería Elvira González is pleased to announce a new exhibition of work by Esteban Vicente entitled La Forma Roja (The Red Form), which will open on November 6th, 2013. With more than 20 works spanning the period from 1955 to 1995, The Red Form focuses on a particular compositional device frequently employed by Vicente: the placement of a red point or form that provides balance and order to the painting as a whole. Esteban Vicente (Turégano, Segovia, 1903 - New York, 20012) began as an academic realist whose work was influenced by Cubism before finally evolving into Abstract Expressionism. Throughout his career, from Abstract Female (1955 - 58) to the final works from 1997, Vicente always sought formal balance and perfection in his compositions, in contrast to the free, gestural brushwork of the style known as action painting that ran parallel with Vicente’s own work from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. From the 80’s onward, Vicente’s work became more nostalgic, although he never lost interest in compositions based on large forms and blocks of color. As Vicente himself often remarked, important influences on his early painting included 17th century Spanish still-lifes and “bodegones”, the Cubist paintings of Juan Gris, and the collages of Kurt Schwitters: these were the sources Vicente drew on when composing his own work. In La Forma Roja, we see how Vicente utilizes the presence of powerful masses of color in order to balance and calibrate the painting as a whole.

    César Paternosto b. 1931 La Plata, Argentina - lives in Segovia, Spain Portrait of his father, 1949, Pencil on paper Portrait of his mother, 1948, Pencil on paper César Paternosto. Buenos Aires, 1965 1931. César Paternosto is born in La Plata, Argentina on November 29th. Shaded by maple, linden, sycamore and jacarandá trees, La Plata is a quiet town located 45 miles southeast of Buenos Aires. It is the seat of the provincial government and it was founded in 1882, after the city of Buenos Aires was federalized. It was the first modern city designed on a drawing board; its plan is a square and the streets are laid out in a grid of square blocks though intermittently crisscrossed by diagonal streets at a 45 degree angle; the plan, too, has a mandala-like center: the Plaza Moreno flanked by City Hall and the imposing neo-gothic, brick- built cathedral. La Plata is also the seat of one of the National Universities (Albert Einstein lectured at the Institute of Physics in the thirties) and, most notably, of its Museo de Ciencias Naturales, which, well known in international scientific circles thanks to its paleontological holdings, also houses a choice collection of pre-Columbian art from the Andean region. His father, Pedro, was a Chemistry professor at the National University; his mother, María Esther Nethol, was a piano teacher and homemaker. The paternal grandparents had come from southern Italy’s Calabria region. The maternal grandmother was Argentinian of Italian parentage, while the grandfather was a native of Navarre in Spain’s Basque country.

The works will be on view from 21 April through 21 May 2016. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated publication with an essay by Eren Johnson. “I think that no matter what, the painter has to have a sense of the physicality of the world.” – Esteban Vicente ESTEBAN VICENTE was born in Turégano, Spain in 1903. His father served in the Civil Guard, a police force in the Castile region, and was an amateur painter who took the young Vicente with him on visits to the Prado Museum. In 1918, Vicente entered military school, but left after three months. At fifteen years old, Vicente began at the School of Fine Arts of the Real Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. As a young man living in Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris, he developed friendships with artists and writers. In 1928, he had his first exhibition with Juan Bonafé at the Ateneo de Madrid. Vicente left Europe for New York City in 1936. The United States became the artist’s permanent home. His contemporaries and associates included Willem de Kooning (their 10th Street studios were on a shared floor), Elaine de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline, Barnett Newman, and Ad Reinhardt. The late paintings of Esteban Vicente, exhibited at the gallery, represent the continued influence of his native Spain through his time spent in Bridgehampton, New York at his home, purchased in 1964, where he studied the light and colors in his flower garden.

    Esteban Vicente September 15th – July 31st 2011 Any one of my paintings is part of a sequence, part of a whole. None is completely separate from the others, whether they be upstream or downstream. Each picture is solved in its own way, but the continuation of the process involves all of them. Harriet Birthday, 1982. 61 x 76.2 cm | 24 x 30 in. Paper collage, gouache and charcoal on canvas Galería Elvira González opens the 2011-2012 season with a solo exhibition by Esteban Vicente (Turégano, Segovia, 1903 – Long Island, USA, 2001), the abstract expressionist whose work it has been showing for over twenty years. The exhibition overviews Vicente’s body of work from the 1960s to the 1990s with a selection of original oil paintings, collages and drawings. Though born in Spain, Vicente’s career as an artist was made largely in New York, where he moved to at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War and was to live for the rest of his life. In the decade of the 1940s he made the acquaintance of the artists who would come to be known as the New York School, establishing close relationships with many of them. As a result of connections with this seminal movement, Vicente’s work evolved towards his signature style. In the 1950s and 60s, figurative forms gradually disappeared from his work and were replaced by symbols and large heavily plastered stains of colour, dovetailing with the painting of his friend de Kooning. He went on to make large paintings dominated by fields of colour and was invited to take part in some of the most influential exhibitions of the time, such as New Talents 1950 and 9th Street, earning him a prominent place within the first generation of American Abstract Expressionism.
