Cincinnati Art Museum Acquires Important Hudson River School FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact • Jill E. Dunne • Director of Marketing and Communications 513-639-2954 • [email protected] 953 Eden Park Drive │Cincinnati, Ohio│45202 www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org *Images Available Upon Request Cincinnati Art Museum acquires important Hudson River School painting and major figurative glass sculpture CAM expands its American painting and contemporary craft collections CINCINNATI –The Cincinnati Art Museum recently acquired a magnificent Sanford Robinson Gifford landscape and a timeless glass sculpture by artist Karen LaMonte for its permanent collection. Gifford’s landscape, The Wilderness, 1861, joins the Art Museum’s permanent collection thanks to a generous donation from a Cincinnati supporter. The painting’s acquisition fills a significant gap in the representation of the Hudson River School, the group of painters of the 19th century who celebrated the majesty of America’s unspoiled scenery. Although influenced aesthetically by European Romanticism and Baroque landscape painting, they formed what was in essence the first distinctively American art movement. The painting represents a moment of absolute tranquility in which the monumental silhouette of a mountain is reflected in the still waters of a lake. With its warm rosy glow that suffuses the landscape, the work showcases Gifford’s mastery in depicting transcendent light and palpable atmosphere. The painting is a smaller variant of Gifford’s large exhibition picture of the previous year, also called The Wilderness, at the Toledo Museum of Art. The painting will be on view on the second floor (G217) American galleries starting on January 19. The life-size glass sculpture by Karen LaMonte, Seated Dress with Impression of Drapery, created in 2005, has been added to the Art Museum thanks to funding and an endowment from Nancy and David Wolf. The sculpture presents a dress, worn by a seated female figure. The figure’s body is present only in the negative space within the dress and in the impressions left by the sitter’s torso, knees, legs and feet underneath the graceful, semi-translucent drape of the glass dress. In this way, the piece evokes timeless themes of presence, absence, personal image, space and transience. The LaMonte acquisition marks the seventh installation of what Cameron Kitchin, the Art Museum’s Louis and Louise Dieterle Nippert Director, refers to as the sculptural orientation points of the Art Museum. They include Dale Chihuly’s Rio Delle Torreselle Chandelier in the Front Lobby; Hiram Powers’ 19th- century statue of Eve Disconsolate overlooking Eden Park; Lion Funerary Monument from the 4th century B.C. anchoring the new Antiquities Galleries (G101-102); the 1st-century A.D. Roman marble of a Greek God or Hero at the entrance to the Schmidlapp Gallery; Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ 1994 conceptual portrait of the Cincinnati Art Museum in the Front Lobby; and Jim Dine’s 12-foot bronze Pinocchio (Emotional) at the museum entrance drive. “The Cincinnati Art Museum’s collection of nearly 66,000 artworks gives us the opportunity to tell the story of the power of art across 6,000 years of world cultures and history. The Gifford artwork is immediately of tremendous importance to our American collections and will become a favorite of all,” said Kitchin. “The LaMonte sculpture is a rare early example from a leading contemporary artist working in glass. We are fortunate that Seated Dress will call Cincinnati home.” Nancy and David Wolf have been collecting contemporary art for nearly 40 years. In 2006, they were named among “America’s Top 100 Collectors” by Art and Antiques Magazine. They have been long-time and generous supporters of the Cincinnati Art Museum. Prior to 2009, the Wolfs donated 16 pieces of contemporary glass to the Art Museum’s collection. Since that time, the Wolfs have donated over 250 works of art to the Art Museum, in addition to their research library and a large endowment for the care of the collection. A selection of gifts and loans from the Nancy and David Wolf Collection are currently on view in the Nancy and David Wolf Gallery (G222). About the Artists Sanford Robinson Gifford (1823 –1880) was one of the leading members of the Hudson River School. His landscapes are widely admired for their evanescent effects of light and atmosphere, which he associated with the presence of the divine in nature. Some scholars regard Gifford as the most technically accomplished painter among his colleagues. Of all the Hudson River School artists, Gifford was one of the few native to the Hudson River Valley. He attended Brown University for two years before moving to New York City to become an artist. A central figure in the art world of his day, Gifford exhibited paintings at the National Academy of Design and other venues based on sketches from his extensive travels in the United States and abroad. His work is represented at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and other major collections of American paintings. Karen LaMonte, born in New York in 1967, is a contemporary American artist known for her life-size sculptures in cast glass, clay and bronze. LaMonte graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1990 and moved to the Czech Republic in 1998 when she received a Fulbright Scholarship to study large-scale glass casting. She continues to work in Prague. LaMonte’s work focuses on the symbolic relationship between the human body and the clothes we wear. Her life-size glass castings of garments simultaneously present the complexity and beauty of the garment as well as the female body that was once in the garment. Her work has been exhibited internationally and acquired by institutions including Corning Museum of Glass (NY); The Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Renwick Gallery (DC); and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Paris). About the Cincinnati Art Museum The Cincinnati Art Museum is supported by the generosity of individuals and businesses that give annually to ArtsWave. The Ohio Arts Council helps fund the Cincinnati Art Museum with state tax dollars to encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment for all Ohioans. The Cincinnati Art Museum gratefully acknowledges operating support from the City of Cincinnati, as well as our members. General admission to the Cincinnati Art Museum is always free. The museum is open Tuesday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and is closed Monday. # # # .

Stebbins Jr. and Susan Cragg Stebbins have given their outstanding collection of American art to The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, Florida. The couple have made their gift in honor of Mrs. Stebbins’s parents, Evelyn and Henry Cragg, longtime residents of Winter Park. Mr. Cragg was a member of the Charles Homer Morse Foundation board of trustees from its founding in 1976 until his death in 1988. It is impossible to think about American art scholarship, museum culture, and collecting without the name Theodore Stebbins coming to mind. Stebbins has had an illustrious career as a professor of art history and as curator at the Yale University Art Gallery (1968–77), the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (1977–2000), and the Harvard Art Museums (2001–14). Many of Stebbins’s former students occupy positions of importance throughout the art world. Among his numerous publications are his broad survey of American works on paper, American Master Drawings and Watercolors: A History of Works on Paper from Colonial Times to the Present (1976), and his definitive works on American painter Martin Johnson Heade (1819–1904) including the Life and Work of Martin Johnson Heade (2000).

  • The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision
    The Hudson River School at the New-York Historical Society: Nature and the American Vision Marie-François-Régis Gignoux (1814–1882) Mammoth Cave, Kentucky , ca. 1843 Oil on canvas Gift of an Anonymous Donor, X.21 After training at the French École des Beaux-Arts , Gignoux immigrated to the United States, where he soon established himself as a landscape specialist. He was drawn to a vast underground system of corridors and chambers in Kentucky known as Mammoth Cave. The site portrayed has been identified as the Rotunda—so named because its grand, uninterrupted interior space recalls that of the Pantheon in Rome. Gignoux created a romantic image rooted in fact and emotion. In contrast to the bright daylight glimpsed through the cavern mouth, the blazing fire impresses a hellish vision that contemporaneous viewers may have associated with the manufacture of gunpowder made from the bat guano harvested and rendered in vats in that very space since the War of 1812. William Trost Richards (1833–1905) June Woods (Germantown) , 1864 Oil on linen The Robert L. Stuart Collection, S–127 Richards followed the stylistic trajectory of the Hudson River School early in his career, except for a brief time in the early 1860s, when he altered his technique and compositional approach in response to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics of the English critic John Ruskin.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Nina Sangimino Telephone: (212) 744-3586 Email: [email protected] New York (February 6, 2020) – Questroyal Fine Art, LLC is proud to present the most dynamic exhibition and sale of Hudson River School paintings in modern times: TEN GREAT AMERICAN PAINTERS and Their Brilliant Rivals. Opening March 6, 2020, at 903 Park Avenue, over 130 paintings will be on display, including works by the most acclaimed leaders of the movement: Albert Bierstadt, Frederic Edwin Church, Thomas Cole, Jasper Francis Cropsey, Asher B. Durand, Sanford Robinson Gifford, John Frederick Kensett, Thomas Moran, William Trost Richards, and Worthington Whittredge. Alongside these masters are works by their brilliant rivals, such as John William Casilear, Samuel Colman, William Hart, Hermann Herzog, David Johnson, Jervis McEntee, and Alexander Helwig Wyant. Demonstrating the impressive scope of America’s first and most important artistic movement, this exhibition will ensure that acquisitions are available for collectors of all levels and budgets. Our nation’s great artists conceived and refined a unique artistic means to reveal all of nature’s countenances while restraining artistic interpretation, resulting in work that exalts the wonder of our landscape and incites an urgent interest in conservation. Their approach was distinct from that of their European counterparts, resulting in an art that America can proudly claim as its own. Cole, the unofficial founder of the first American-bred school of art, eschewed European tastes to draw inspiration from the untainted beauty of a young America: “Must I tell you that neither the Alps nor the Apennines, no, nor even Ætna itself, have dimmed, in my eyes, the beauty of our own Catskills? It seems to me that I look on American scenery, if it were possible, with increased pleasure.” With exhibitions that continue to open around the globe, the Hudson River School is celebrated for the timelessness of its message and the innovation conceived in its paintings.

  • American National Biography Online: Benson, Eugene
    Benson, Eugene (1 Nov. 1839-28 Feb. 1908), art critic, painter, and essayist, was born in Hyde Park, New York, the son of Benjamin Benson. His mother's name is not known. He went to New York City in 1856 to study painting at the National Academy of Design; he also learned portraiture in the studio of J. H. Wright. Taking up residence at the New York University Building, he formed close friendships with several other artists who lived there, most notably Winslow Homer. Desperately poor, Benson earned extra money by writing art criticism for the newspapers, particularly the New York Evening Post, for which he signed his name "Proteus." He quickly became known as a leading art critic. In 1862 he was elected an associate of the National Academy of Design, where he exhibited regularly from 1861 to 1871. In the Book of the Artists Henry T. Tuckerman classified Benson as a genre painter, describing his motive as "poetical" and remarking that "the Fireside Reveries reminds us somewhat of [French artist Charles Theodore] Frere: a young girl sits by a stove, gazing in abstracted mood into the fire; the position and expression are full of the unconsciousness which betokens self-absorption." Benson's major contribution to American art, however, came through his criticism; as Nicolai Cikovsky, Jr., observed, Benson's goal was to formulate the principles of "a modern, national, and democratic art, derived from native materials and formed in a native language of style" (Cikovsky, p. 42). Benson wrote approvingly of those artists who, as he explained, had been "least influenced by foreign art." These included Homer and the painters Sanford Robinson Gifford, Frederic Edwin Church, and John Frederick Kensett.

  • INTRODUCTION Inventions and Failures
    INTRODUCTION Inventions and Failures In the 1870s, Martin Johnson Heade painted a self-destructing artwork, a landscape in a strangely entropic state. Propped on a studio easel, the painting—a panoramic scene representing a salt marsh—appears to be dripping water, draining itself of in one sense the wetland’s vital life force, and in another the canvas’s pictorial substance. A fitting emblem for the end of landscape, Heade’s peculiar artwork marked a turning point in the history of the genre, a moment when the cultural ambitions of landscape painting in America were most in doubt. The nineteenth-century art critic James Jackson Jarves once called landscape “a thor- oughly American brand of painting.”1 Although not the first genre to receive national attention, it was certainly the first to develop a self-consciously American ideology. As the closest American correlate to European grand-manner history painting, the coming of age of the genre in the mid-nineteenth century was synonymous with the country’s quest for international artistic recognition and cultural self-affirmation. In the 1830s, the legendary early pioneer of landscape painting, Thomas Cole, began to champion the substitution of American wilderness for the Old World’s vestiges of antiquity as the pictorial setting of moral and religious events. In the scenic vistas of the Hudson Valley and New England, he recognized “a natural majesty, and an unbounded capacity for improvement by art.”2 By the 1840s, Cole and his first disciple, Asher B. Durand, a founder of the National Academy of Design in New York, had established last- ing conventions for a specifically American landscape painting—a naturalistic combina- tion of dramatic, extended vistas and topographical and botanical details.
