    sargent, monet... and manet Elaine Kilmurray In December 2006, I went to Paris to look at a cache of over a thousand letters written to Claude Monet by fellow artists (Caillebotte, Mary Cassatt, Cézanne, Manet, Pissarro, Renoir, Rodin, Sisley), writers (Octave Mirbeau, Gustave Geffroy) and his principal dealer (Paul Durand-Ruel) that had remained in the collection of Monet’s descendents and were about to be auctioned. They had passed through generations of the Monet family and many were unreleased and/or unpublished. Those of us working on the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné project were particularly interested in seventeen letters from Sargent to Monet. There has always been a sense of the provisional in accounts of the relationship between the two artists, a scarcity of fixed points and an absence of detail. We wanted to see how illuminating these letters were and how helpful they might be in filling lacunae and deepening our understanding. The timing was fortuitous: we were engaged on research for Volume V of the catalogue raisonné, in which we would catalogue Sargent’s most ‘Impressionist’ paintings. At the Artcurial auction house, I spoke to Thierry Bodin, who had done initial transcriptions of all the letters for the sale catalogue to a daunting deadline. The members of the catalogue raisonné team have struggled with Sargent’s writing (especially when in French, Italian or Spanish) for decades, and it was gratifying to hear from M. Bodin that, while Octave Mirbeau’s tight, closely worked hand had given him the most trouble, Sargent’s had come a close second.

  • Eugénie Prendergast: Market Maker by Warren Adelson
    Eugénie Prendergast: Market Maker By Warren Adelson About twenty years ago, Eugénie Prendergast telephoned me at my office at Coe Kerr Gallery and invited me to visit her at her home in Westport, Connecticut. I had never met her and was not sure why she was calling. I really knew her only by reputation: people said she was difficult. I drove north on Merritt Parkway, followed her directions to a nondescript side street, and entered the circular driveway of a small frame house. Mrs. Prendergast greeted me at the door; her manner was imposing. She looked me in the eye, extended her hand and invited me into the L-shaped living room. The sensation I recall is shock. It was like walking into a dream. Every inch of wall space was covered with paintings by Maurice Prendergast, the brother-in-law she had never met, yet devoted her life to. It was a profusion of art: oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, monotypes, and even a mosaic panel on an easel. In the adjacent dining room were large tempera paintings by her late husband, Charles. She suggested I walk up the narrow staircase that split the entry, and I saw more walls covered with Maurice’s work, all periods, sizes and media. I silently walked through those upstairs rooms, knowing it was a privilege. When I rejoined my hostess, she invited me to have tea and cookies and talk. We spoke for quite a while, although, in truth, I mostly listened. Mrs. P. seemed to have total recall. She recounted dinner parties forty and fifty years ago, and spoke about who was there and what pictures were on the walls.

Performing Identities in the art of John Singer Sargent Abstract In the elegant society portraits by John Singer Sargent, body language created social identities. The fallen dress strap and obvious makeup in Madame X, for example, declared her a “professional beauty”; the costume of Charles Stewart proclaimed him a British lord. Critics often conflated appearance and character in Sargent's images, yet Sargent used theatre and masquerade in numerous works to problematize essentialist links between appearance and character that were fundamental to turn-of-the-century class, gender, and racial stereotypes. This dissertation concentrates on the art Sargent produced after Madame X, as he recovered from the scandal it provoked in 1884 and as he established his patron base in England and America. Many of Sargent's later works can be seen as a response to the issues raised by Madame X concerning the relationship between appearance and character. An analysis of theatrical elements in Sargent's paintings elucidates the function of these images in variously maintaining and challenging notions of social identity. Chapter One discusses the critical reception of Sargent's art in the context of a turn-of-the-century culture engaged in classification and performance activities.

From a peripatetic upbringing emerged an artist with a penchant for the exotic. A painter-traveller above all else, Sargent sought to record his visible delight with the world. Not content to replicate the successes of men before him, Sargent set out on an artistic course to discover his own aesthetic and announce it to the world. His first Orientalist painting exhibited at the Salon, Fumée d’Ambre Gris (1880), was notable for its tonal virtuosity. In preparation for a grand mural scheme for the new Boston Public Library, Sargent embarked on a thorough investigation of the Near East.

  • Jacob Collins: New Works
    PRESS RELEASE | N E W Y O R K FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | 19 NOVEMBER 2012 JACOB COLLINS: NEW WORKS AN EXHIBITION OF RECENT PAINTINGS IN NEW YORK FROM NOVEMBER 24 –DECEMBER 19 Clockwise from top left: Banjo, Storm Breaking, Studio in Sharon, Yellow House at Thompson’s Point in Sunshine, all works 2012 New York - Christie’s Private Sales and Adelson Galleries are pleased to announce a public selling exhibition of recent works by the celebrated American realist painter Jacob Collins (b.1964), Jacob Collins: New Works, in New York, from November 24 – December 19, 2012. Held at Christie’s Private Sales Gallery, located at 1230 Avenue of the Americas, the exhibition will unveil a selection of 40 recent works comprised of landscapes, still lifes and figural compositions. New Works marks the third in a series of remarkable American realist collections presented this year, in partnership with Christie’s Private Sales and Adelson Galleries, following Stephen Scott Young, and Andrew Wyeth in China. Warren Adelson, Adelson Galleries, commented “Aside from Jacob’s obvious technical skill as a painter and draftsman, his paintings have a rich and elusive psychological character. Throughout his broad range of subject matter there is a taut sense of movement. His landscapes and seascapes roll with a palpable resonance; his figures seem on the verge of active expression, and his still lifes glow with light. We are thrilled to present this exceptional artist to the vast audience that Christie’s allows.” In an essay surrounding the collection of New Works, Dr. William H. Gerdts, professor emeritus of Art History at City University of New York, and author of more than 25 book on American Art said “a discussion of Jacob Collins’ latest paintings should not be concerned with a classification of Realism, but rather, what is immediately obvious to all, his astounding technical skill and his ability to impart to the viewer a meticulously nuanced visual experience.
