    The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part II: Rare Illustrated Books and Print Portfolios, ca. 1850-1930 405 titles, in ca. 585 physical volumes The Library of Professor Eric G. Carlson Part I: Art of France from the French Revolution to the End of the Third Republic, 1790-1940. General Reference Works and Monographs on Artists, with a special emphasis on prints and printmaking The art historian and art dealer Eric G. Carlson (1940-2016) was a noted specialist in French and American prints and drawings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A mediaevalist by training (Ph.D. Yale University), and professor at the State University of New York at Purchase from 1978 to 2006, Carlson brought a scholar's acumen to his exploration of lesser-known fields and figures of French art. His library reflects this, being exceptionally rich not just on the major artists of the era, but on the many painters and printmakers who remain to this day little known to the general public. Its coverage of the art of Romanticism, Realism, and Post-Impressionism, with very impressive concentrations on Géricault, Delacroix, Courbet, Degas and Gauguin, among others, is matched by a fascinating depth in the Symbolist and Nabi movements and the School of Pont-Aven, and the myriad Academic and Salon artists, illustrators and caricaturists who flourished between the start of the Second Empire and the end of the Third Republic. The library is unusually complete and sophisticated in the documentation and critical study of all aspects of the period, with rare exhibition and auction catalogues, and scarce early monographs, as well as the latest academic scholarship.

  • Recording of Marcel Duchamp’S Armory Show
    Recording of Marcel Duchamp’s Armory Show Lecture, 1963 [The following is the transcript of the talk Marcel Duchamp (Fig. 1A, 1B)gave on February 17th, 1963, on the occasion of the opening ceremonies of the 50th anniversary retrospective of the 1913 Armory Show (Munson-Williams-Procter Institute, Utica, NY, February 17th – March 31st; Armory of the 69th Regiment, NY, April 6th – 28th) Mr. Richard N. Miller was in attendance that day taping the Utica lecture. Its total length is 48:08. The following transcription by Taylor M. Stapleton of this previously unknown recording is published inTout-Fait for the first time.] click to enlarge Figure 1A Marcel Duchamp in Utica at the opening of “The Armory Show-50th Anniversary Exhibition, 2/17/1963″ Figure 1B Marcel Duchamp at the entrance of the th50 anniversary exhibition of the Armory Show, NY, April 1963, Photo: Michel Sanouillet Announcer: I present to you Marcel Duchamp.

(laughter.)As you all know, the Armory Show was opened on February 17th, 1913, fifty years ago, to the day (Fig. 2A, 2B). As a result of this event, it is rewarding to realize that, in these last fifty years, the United States has collected, in its private collections and its museums, probably the greatest examples of modern art in the world today. It would be interesting, like in all revivals, to compare the reactions of the two different audiences, fifty years apart.

  • Toulouse-Lautrec and Anti-Semitism in Fin-De-Siècle Paris
    Toulouse-Lautrec and anti-Semitism in fin-de-siècle Paris Essay by Louis Dzialo In 1892, a salacious dime-novel hit the shelves in Paris. Victor Joze’s Reine de joie, moeurs du demi-monde (Queen of Joy, The World of Easy Virtue) tells the story of Alice Lamy, an enterprising Parisian courtesan, and her depraved relationship with a fictitious Jewish financier, Baron de Rozenfeld. Toulouse-Lautrec’s poster that advertised the novel depicts the novel’s moment of high-comedy. Prior to this scene, Baron de Rozenfeld has struck a deal to engage in an illicit relationship with Alice for a tremendous sum of money, plus a fully furnished townhouse in the fashionable Bois du Boulogne. Upon realizing what the Baron has offered her “[Alice] rises suddenly, embraces the Baron with her bare arms, and as her lips slide towards the old man’s mouth, she encounters an obstacle in the form of his large hooked Semitic nose and there she plants her kiss.”1 Though Toulouse-Lautrec’s poster advertising Reine de Joie (Figure 1) remains true to elements of this scene, it is not without the artist’s own creative embellishments. Joze describes Rozenfeld as “an aging Semitic type…an impassive figure of a man who knows his power.”2 Toulouse-Lautrec alters the Baron, depicting a “a short, overweight, sunken figure of a man who indulges in what money can buy and whose own passive body language does not suggest a consciousness of his own power.”3 His Baron is a grotesque blob of a man, his sordid character reiterated in Lautrec’s (ambiguous) suggestion that he gropes Alice’s breast with his right hand.

Seitz Museumof MotfwnArt ARCHIVE Claude Monet was the purest and most characteristic master of Impressionism. The fundamental principle of his art was a new, wholly perceptual observation of the most fleeting aspects of nature — of moving clouds and water, sun and shadow, rain and snow, mist and fog, dawn and sunset. Over a period of almost seventy years, from the late 1850s to his death in 1926, Monet must have pro duced close to 3,000 paintings, the vast majority of which were landscapes, seascapes, and river scenes. As his involvement with nature became more com plete, he turned from general representations of season and light to paint more specific, momentary, and transitory effects of weather and atmosphere. Late in the seventies he began to repeat his subjects at different seasons of the year or moments of the day, and in the nineties this became a regular procedure that resulted in his well-known "series " — Haystacks, Poplars, Cathedrals, Views of the Thames, Water ERRATA Lilies, etc.

  • Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging Her Hair Ca
    Edgar Degas French, 1834–1917 Woman Arranging her Hair ca. 1892, cast 1924 Bronze McNay Art Museum, Mary and Sylvan Lang Collection, 1975.61 In this bronze sculpture, Edgar Degas presents a nude woman, her body leaned forward and face obscured as she styles her hair. The composition of the figure is similar to those found in his paintings of women bathing. The artist displays a greater interest in the curves of the body and actions of the model than in capturing her personality or identity. More so than his posed representations of dancers, the nude served throughout Degas’ life as a subject for exploring new ideas and styles. French Moderns McNay labels_separate format.indd 1 2/27/2017 11:18:51 AM Fernand Léger French, 1881–1955 The Orange Vase 1946 Oil on canvas McNay Art Museum, Gift of Mary and Sylvan Lang, 1972.43 Using bold colors and strong black outlines, Fernand Léger includes in this still life an orange vase and an abstracted bowl of fruit. A leaf floats between the two, but all other elements, including the background, are abstracted beyond recognition. Léger created the painting later in his life when his interests shifted toward more figurative and simplified forms. He abandoned Cubism as well as Tubism, his iconic style that explored cylindrical forms and mechanization, though strong shapes and a similar color palette remained.

    SIXTH CLASS: STILL LIFE I. INTRODUCTION In today’s class we are going to examine two examples of still life painting. Does anyone remember what type objects are often found in still life paintings? Fruit, vegetables, meat, flowers, books, clocks, chinaware, silverware, glassware, bottles, pipes, fabrics, etc. (If time permits, show students different examples of still life painting from an art history text or an art magazine.) What do these objects have in common? They are all small enough to fit on a table, and they are all motionless. Can anyone make up a definition of a still life painting? An arrangement of non-moving objects. These are typically shown close up. Who knows what the term "composition" means in art? The arrangement of shapes, lines and colors in a painting. Still life painting, because it focuses on a few objects at close range, is an easy type of art in which to study how an artist puts a picture together, i.e., how he or she arranges its composition. Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists were attracted to still life painting, each for his own reasons and each with a somewhat different result. Before revealing today's artworks, let's get our eyes ready for looking. II. EYE EXERCISES VI. STILL LIFE PAINTING A.
