  • Networking Surrealism in the USA. Agents, Artists and the Market
    151 Toward a New “Human Consciousness”: The Exhibition “Adventures in Surrealist Painting During the Last Four Years” at the New School for Social Research in New York, March 1941 Caterina Caputo On January 6, 1941, the New School for Social Research Bulletin announced a series of forthcoming surrealist exhibitions and lectures (fig. 68): “Surrealist Painting: An Adventure into Human Consciousness; 4 sessions, alternate Wednesdays. Far more than other modern artists, the Surrea- lists have adventured in tapping the unconscious psychic world. The aim of these lectures is to follow their work as a psychological baro- meter registering the desire and impulses of the community. In a series of exhibitions contemporaneous with the lectures, recently imported original paintings are shown and discussed with a view to discovering underlying ideas and impulses. Drawings on the blackboard are also used, and covered slides of work unavailable for exhibition.”1 From January 22 to March 19, on the third floor of the New School for Social Research at 66 West Twelfth Street in New York City, six exhibitions were held presenting a total of thirty-six surrealist paintings, most of which had been recently brought over from Europe by the British surrealist painter Gordon Onslow Ford,2 who accompanied the shows with four lectures.3 The surrealist events, arranged by surrealists themselves with the help of the New School for Social Research, had 1 New School for Social Research Bulletin, no. 6 (1941), unpaginated. 2 For additional biographical details related to Gordon Onslow Ford, see Harvey L.

  • Atelier 17 and the Art Students League November 4 – December 5, 2021
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Two Generations of Women Printmakers: Atelier 17 and the Art Students League November 4 – December 5, 2021 Worden Day, The Great Divide, 1969, Woodblock print, 23” x 28”. Permanent collection of The Art Students League (New York, NY): The Art Students League of New York is pleased to present Two Generations of Women Printmakers: Atelier 17 and The Art Students League on view November 4–December 5, 2021. The exhibition explores the intertwined histories of The League and the renowned avant-garde printmaking studio Atelier 17, which formed in interwar Paris in the late 1920s. Established by Stanley William Hayter (1901-1988), the studio, together with The League, produced some of the most accomplished female printmakers of the twentieth century. Featuring works by twenty-four artists, the exhibition spotlights the rich possibilities that printmaking presented to women across two generations of artists. Augmenting this exhibition, guest curator Dr. Christina Weyl will present a lecture on the exhibition Tuesday, November 9 in the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery at 6 PM. This live talk will bring to life the stories our exhibition tells, spotlighting the rich possibilities that printmaking presented to women across two generations of artists. Atelier 17’s founder, Stanley William Hayter, took his first printmaking lessons in 1926 from Mary Huntoon (1896-1970), who had spent several years mastering the graphic arts at The Art Students League of New York. Huntoon’s instruction carried forward the pedagogy of her own teacher, Joseph Pennell (1857-1926), who had established a rigorous program at The League whereby students executed all aspects of the printmaking process themselves and were encouraged to test new technical approaches.

  • Langhorne Comment on Wimmer Pollock Masson Hayter.Pdf
    Hinweis: Die Rechteinråumung gem. der Creative Commons Namensnennung 3.0 Lizenz hat nur für diesen Text Gültigkeit, nicht jedoch für die darin abgebildeten geschützten Werke der bildenden Kunst. Elizabeth L. Langhorne From Mythic Narrative to Abstract Automatism: Jackson Pollock, Andre Masson, and Stanley William Hayter In working towards his mature abstract poured paintings, Pollock not only learned from Masson's abstract linear automatism, but was challenged by Masson's mythological narratives: Mythology of Being 1942 and Anatomy of my Universe 1943. Pollock's response to these narratives of male descent into the female labyrinth in search of harmony is evident in his Male and Female 1942, and later in his exploration of these same themes using an increasingly abstract automatist line in prints made at Hayter's Atelier 17 in 1944-45. In addition to Masson's example, what Hayter taught Pollock about the ability of an engraved line to move in the "space of the imagination" anticipates the three-dimensionality of Pollock's future poured gestures. In "From Automatic Drawing to American Abstract Art: André Masson, Jackson Pollock and Cy Twombly" Wimmer explores the role that the surrealist tradition of automatism plays in the rejection of traditional painting characterized by the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, and later by the automatist works of Cy Twombly. Especially noteworthy is her emphasis on the cultural transfer that took place when the greater part of the European Surrealist group, Andre Masson and Stanley William Hayter among them, was transplanted to New York, bringing with them the lessons of Surrealist automatism. I would like to add to this discussion by developing the relationship of Pollock and Masson, and of Pollock and Hayter that I explore in my book on Pollock and his art, Jackson Pollock: Kunst als Sinnsuche (Hawel Verlag, Wallerstein, 2013).

  • Wolfgang Paalen
    Wolfgang Paalen Implicit Spaces May 17 – July 12, 2007 “The main concern is not to operate for eternity, but in eternity.” from Wolfgang Paalen´s scrapbook Voyage nord-ouest, Canada/Alaska 1939 Cover Image Wolfgang Paalen, Ciel de pieuvre (Octopus sky) Fumage and oil on canvas 1938 97 x 130 cm (38 1/4 x 51 1/4 in.) More than half a century ago Wolfgang Paalen in the Bay Area Paalen worked and exhibited for some years together with his wife, Luchita, and their friends Gordon Onslow Ford, Jacqueline Johnson and Lee Mullican in Mill Valley. It was here in 1949 that he published his essay with the strange title Dynaton, in which he contemplated space and time, our changing image of the cosmos caused by the new physics, and what it meant for an artist to draw from a universe of the imaginable and no longer merely from the three known dimensions of the visible world. Jacqueline Johnson later wrote, “Paalen´s voice held the flashing presence of mystery where, as in childhood, it is central to all the threads of reality, of an identity to come, the clue of the concealed.” In this way, Dynaton was formed as a small artists’ group. Onslow Ford consequently called him “the man of many possibilities.” For Lee he embodied, “the advent of the Lord of Prismatic Situations.” Jacqueline adored him as a, “man with a spark of nuclear presence.” And Luchita, his wife, called him “the most intriguing spirit possible, but the most impossible man to live with.” Each friend acknowledged his visionary genius.

    , , Leonard Baskin Leonard - - Blake: a Fragment a Blake: 6 Webber Center Gallery Sept. 22-Oct. 29, 2011 Special thanks to the College of Central Florida Webber Gallery Patron Society and Ocala Art and Frame –an equal opportunity college– The Importance of Print: Comprehending the Moving Message of the Reproducible Image William R. Adams, Adjunct Instructor of Art History, College of Central Florida It is at once fortuitous and problematic that this particular exhibition is being mounted at this particular moment in time. We live and operate in an era in which the old post-modern saw, “What is art?” has itself become post-modern. By that, I mean that a general consensus answer was agreed upon by the art-going public several decades ago that art could be whatever the artist or viewer wanted. As conveniently glib as that answer to one of the great philosophically vague questions of the twentieth century may be, it in fact creates more problems than it solves. By the time the post-modernists got around to asking themselves that most puzzling of questions, the curatorial and museological worlds had just begun to shake off their centuries-old patina of inaccessibility and elitism that had, for so long, daunted those who were interested in delving into the world of expression, but found themselves shunned by museums’ and galleries’ insistence on “protecting” their collections from a presumably uninformed public. This particular scenario presented a dangerous dichotomy: just as museums and galleries were beginning to become more inclusive and cognizant of the importance of the public’s attention, the artists and image-makers themselves began to explore increasingly more esoteric, incorporeal, less easily comprehensible personal and psychological realities in their works.

  • Introduction
    The Art of Collecting sweet Briar College March 19-May 31, 2015 Grace Hartigan (1922-2008), Pastorale, 1953, silkscreen on paper, 7 ¾ x 10 13/16 inches. Sweet Briar College Art Fund purchase; ACG.1969.001. Introduction The Art of Collecting: The 20th Century was guest-curated by Lindsay Profenno ’15, an art history major, as an Arts Management Program practicum under my guidance. The installation’s two focal points are images of women and abstraction. Ms. Profenno contributed to this checklist as well. All works were chosen from the permanent art collection of Sweet Briar College—a collection built over the past 75 years by dedicated alumnae, artists and their heirs, professors and staff as a teaching tool for the students and faculty of Sweet Briar and for the enjoyment and education of the College’s neighbors and friends across the region. No exhibition comes to fruition without the work of many people who support the curator and turn her concept into reality. The art gallery’s work-study assistants Mariah Miller ’16, Samantha Cochran ’16, and Abigail Schutte ’17 have been key to the success of the exhibition.
