  • 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.

Distinctions like these involve proportion, or relative size. As an art principle, proportion can direct the viewer’s eye to a specific area or object in an artwork. In this chapter, you will: Explain and recognize the Golden Mean. Identify scale and proportion in artworks. Create visual solutions using direct observation to reflect correct human proportions. Compare and contrast the use of proportion in personal artworks and those of others. Figure 10.1 was painted by the Mexican artist Diego Rivera (1886–1957). At age 21, Rivera went to study art in Europe, where he met Paul Cézanne and Pablo Picasso. Returning to Mexico in 1921, Rivera rejected what he had learned. He chose instead to imitate the simplified forms of his pre-Columbian ancestors in Mexico. Rivera also became a champion of the rights of the working class. Social themes inspired him to create large mural paintings. His murals, which adorn the walls of public buildings, all have political or historical themes.

  • Bellows, George Also Known As Bellows, George Wesley American, 1882 - 1925
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Bellows, George Also known as Bellows, George Wesley American, 1882 - 1925 Peter A. Juley & Son, George Bellows, c. 1920, photograph, 1913 Armory Show, 50th anniversary exhibition records, 1962–1963, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution BIOGRAPHY George Bellows was born in Columbus, Ohio, on August 12, 1882, the only child of a successful building contractor from Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York. He entered Ohio State University in 1901, where he played baseball and basketball and made drawings for college publications. He dropped out of college in 1904, went to New York, and studied under Robert Henri (American, 1865 - 1929) at the New York School of Art, where Edward Hopper (American, 1882 - 1967), Rockwell Kent (American, 1882 - 1971), and Guy Pène du Bois (American, 1884 - 1958) were his classmates. A superb technician who worked in a confident, painterly style, Bellows soon established himself as the most important realist of his generation. He created memorable images of club fights, street urchins swimming in the East River, and the Pennsylvania Station excavation site and garnered praise from both progressive and conservative critics. In 1909 he became one of the youngest artists ever admitted as an associate member of the National Academy of Design. In 1910 Bellows began teaching at the Art Students League and married Emma Story, by whom he had two daughters. After 1910 Bellows gradually abandoned the stark urban realism and dark palette characteristic of his early work and gravitated toward painting landscapes, seascapes, and portraits.

  • Vintage Posters
    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

Further, the widespread and persistent recognition of Hopper’s images as unmistakably American, links them to the earlier landscapes on the basis of national identity construction. The thesis is comprised of four parts: First, the definitional and methodological assumptions of visual rhetoric will be addressed; part two includes an extensive discussion of the sublime and its discursive appropriation. Part three focuses on the American Sublime and its formative role in the construction of

After his death a century ago, Chase’s notability began to wane with the arrival of more overtly modernist styles.
