  • TWO FORGOTTEN WOMEN of AMERICAN MODERNISM Sculptor Mary Callery / Painter Peter Miller
    Page 1 of 3 December 28, 2017 Contact: Dana Martin FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TWO FORGOTTEN WOMEN of AMERICAN MODERNISM Sculptor Mary Callery / Painter Peter Miller January 12 – February 23, 2018 Mary Callery (1903‐1977) and Peter Miller (1913‐1996) were both well‐known artists in the mid‐1940s. Callery showed regularly at a number of prestigious galleries in New York in the 1940s and 1950s: Bucholz (1944‐1955), Curt Valentin (1947‐1955), M. Knoedler & Co. in Paris and New York (1945), and Miller had two well‐received one‐person shows at the Julien Levy Gallery (in 1944 and 1945), the premier showplace for Surrealism in America. Yet today, with the exception of specialists in the field of mid‐century American modernism, both artists are absent from historical accounts of the New York art scene in the mid‐1940s. There are several reasons for these omissions, one of which may have been gender. Indeed, to counter the prevalent sexism of their day, both artists adopted male pseudonyms: Callery occasionally went by the name Meric Callery, while Miller was born Henrietta Myers, but showed under the name Peter Miller. Another factor that may have contributed to their neglect was the fact that they were both born into privilege, meaning that they did not feel the constraints of having to produce and sell to survive and, therefore, made little effort to promote themselves or their work. Page 2 of 3 It is unknown if the two artists ever met, but both were born in Pennsylvania (Callery in Pittsburgh; Miller in Hanover, a small town 100 miles west of Philadelphia).

  • Filling the Grey Spaces
    The Grey Space: Notions of Loss in Writing Real Lives Critical thesis & The Sculptress A work of creative non-fiction Lucie Alexandra Brownlee Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: William Fiennes, Professor Linda Anderson School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Humanities Newcastle University, May 2018 1 Abstract This thesis in Creative and Critical Writing comprises two parts. The book, The Sculptress, is fictional interpretation of the life and work of the American artist and collector Mary Callery and her daughter, Caroline. It pivots around Callery’s fractured relationship with Caroline, suggesting the trajectory which led to the suicide of Caroline at the age of forty. It aims to throw new light on Callery’s considerable body of work, which has been overlooked by art history despite receiving critical acclaim. Set against fast-changing backdrop of European and American Modernism, it spans Callery’s lifetime, from her birth in 1903 to her death in Paris in 1977. The critical part of this thesis proposes that ‘loss’ is a central feature of writing creative non-fiction, and explores this with reference to the work of Naomi Wood and Julia Blackburn along with my own. Notions of loss emerged as the driving force behind my entire project: my own personal loss, loss of direction, loss of emotional, historical and factual truths. The ways in which Callery dealt with the ‘grey spaces’ in her own existence – that is to say, the distance between the two social poles she inhabited (avant- garde bohemia and old money, society New York), plus the grief she was unable to express about her daughter’s death – became the governing theme of the book.

The possibilities are endless—he has opened up a horizon for us." It is well known that Jack Brownson is an architect-builder with a deep and abiding interest in how things go together. His training began early when, as a young boy, he helped his grandfather build barns, sheds and outhouses to survive the Depression, a time he remembers as one of the best of his life. After building several small houses to earn tuition money to study architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology with Mies van der Rohe, some years later, Jacques built his own home for his master's thesis, an award-winning steel and glass structure in Geneva that drew media attention to his talent.

  • Italian Modern Art Journal ISSN 2640
    ITALIAN MODERN ART | ISSUE 3: ISSN 2640-8511 “Positively the only person who is really interested in the show”: Romeo Toninelli, Collector and Cultural Diplomat Between Milan and New York “POSITIVELY THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS REALLY INTERESTED IN THE SHOW”: ROMEO TONINELLI, COLLECTOR AND CULTURAL DIPLOMAT BETWEEN 0MILAN AND NEW YORK italianmodernart.org/journal/articles/positively-the-only-person-who-is-really- Laura Moure Cecchini Methodologies of Exchange: MoMA’s “Twentieth- Century Italian Art” (1949), Issue 3, January 2020 ABSTRACT Romeo Toninelli was a key figure in the organization of Twentieth-Century Italian Art, and given the official title of Executive Secretary for the Exhibition in Italy. An Italian art dealer, editor, and collector with an early career as a textile industrialist, Toninelli was not part of the artistic and cultural establishment during the Fascist ventennio. This was an asset in the eyes of the James Thrall Soby and Alfred H. Barr, Jr., who wanted the exhibition to signal the rebirth of Italian art after the presumed break represented by the Fascist regime. Whether Toninelli agreed with this approach we do not know, but he played a major part in the tortuous transatlantic organization of the show. He acted as the intermediary between MoMA curators and Italian dealers, collectors, and artists, securing loans and paying for the shipping of the artworks. He also lent several works from his collection, and arranged for the printing of the catalogue. A recent collector and gallery owner, Toninelli was mistrusted by many Italian critics and collectors, who suspected him of having commercial motives.

  • Abstract Expressionism 1 Abstract Expressionism
    Abstract expressionism 1 Abstract expressionism Abstract expressionism was an American post–World War II art movement. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve worldwide influence and put New York City at the center of the western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine Der Sturm, regarding German Expressionism. In the USA, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky.[1] The movement's name is derived from the combination of the emotional intensity and self-denial of the German Expressionists with the anti-figurative aesthetic of the European abstract schools such as Futurism, the Bauhaus and Synthetic Cubism. Additionally, it has an image of being rebellious, anarchic, highly idiosyncratic and, some feel, nihilistic.[2] Jackson Pollock, No. 5, 1948, oil on fiberboard, 244 x 122 cm. (96 x 48 in.), private collection. Style Technically, an important predecessor is surrealism, with its emphasis on spontaneous, automatic or subconscious creation. Jackson Pollock's dripping paint onto a canvas laid on the floor is a technique that has its roots in the work of André Masson, Max Ernst and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Another important early manifestation of what came to be abstract expressionism is the work of American Northwest artist Mark Tobey, especially his "white writing" canvases, which, though generally not large in scale, anticipate the "all-over" look of Pollock's drip paintings.

  • THE MUSEUM of MODERN ART ' If WEST 53 STREET, NEW YORK 19, N
    / THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ' If WEST 53 STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. ffllPHONl! CIRCII 5-8900 500727 - 51 FOR WEDNESDAY RELEASE RECENT SCULPTURE, PREPARED FOR CIRCULATION THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, TO BE SHOWN AT MUSEUM "CARVERS* MODELERS, WELDERSr A Selection of Recent American Sculpture/' will be on view on the first floor of the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, from August 2 through September 10. The exhibition consists of work by 11 artists, some already established and some belonging to a younger group whose work has not yet been shown widely. The 1I4. pieces selected range in style from realistic to abstract and show the wide variety of materials and methods used by representa­ tive artists in America today. Experiments with new materials such as plastics, and the adoption to artistic purposes of industrial tech* niques such as metal welding, are presented along with works in the traditional materials of stone, wood and bronze. "Despite the variety of approaches," says Jane Sabersky, Assistant Curator who prepared the exhibition, "a certain skeletal aspect recurs in much recent American sculpture• Whether modeler or welder, these sculptors outline form rather than build in the round. A variety of metals are now being welded together and often stretched into thin bands, creating the effect of drawings in space. Only the carver in wood or stone still builds his forms significantly in the round." Of the sculptors included,Mary Callery, David Hare, Leo Amino, David Smith and Theodore Roszak are mature artists who have established an international reputation. Of the younger artists,William King is at present on a Fulbright Fellowship in Italy.
