Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 S Two Wagnerian Paintings: the Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens
ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: Albert Pinkham Ryder 1 s Two Wagnerian Paintings: The Flying Dutchman and Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens Sharon Dale Carman, Master of Arts, 1988 Thesis directed by: John Peters-Campbell, Assistant Professor, Art History Albert Pinkham Ryder (1847-1917) has traditionally been regarded as an anomalous figure in the history of art. A small, but growing, body of scholarship has recently been devoted to correcting this view of the artist and to establishing his relationship to the aes- thetic currents of his time. This study explores the influence on his art of Ryder's environment, late nineteenth-century New York. Two of Ryder's paintings, each based on an incident in an opera by Richard Wagner, are examined: Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens, drawn from Gotterdammerung; and The Flying Dutchman, inspired by Der fliegende Hollander. The history of opera in nineteenth- century New York helps to explain how an American painter came to be influenced by such distinctly German operatic themes. German immigration patterns are linked with changes in operatic taste, and the interest of native intellectuals in Wagner's music and ideas is discussed. Wagnerian staging tradition is posited as a source for the compositions of both Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens and The Flying Dutchman. It is demonstrated that the set designed by Josef Hoffmann for the original Bayreuth pro duction of Gotterdammerung, Act III, Scene I, served as the specific compositional basis for Ryder's Siegfried and the Rhine Maidens.

Placing Harvey Quaytman Dore Ashton Early in Our Friendship Harvey Quaytman Made Me a Gift of His Cherished Copy of Artur Schnab
Placing Harvey Quaytman Early in our friendship Harvey Quaytman made me a gift of his Dore Ashton cherished copy of Artur Schnabel’s My Life and Music. Years later, he titled a painting after the pianist’s book. Quaytman’s tread, as a visual artist, was always tempered by his inner ear, alert to intervals played out in time and space. While Quaytman was a highly literate painter, well acquainted with all the arts and their history, I believe he felt the deepest affinities with what his idol Schnabel called the ‘direct musician,’ who is a gardener, while the indirect musician is a botanist. During a question period after the lectures that make up his book, Schnabel was asked what the ideal should be for a person performing music, and ‘if it all comes from within a person.’ Without hesitation he responded: ‘Love has to be the starting point – love of music. It is one of my firmest convictions, that love always produces some knowledge, while knowledge only rarely produces something similar to love.’ Sometimes, embedded in a title, Quaytman’s affinities for the other arts appear, as when he titled a painting Warsaw Thirds (no. 57) in 1986. Since a third is a musical interval, I took this painting to be a tribute to Chopin, the celebrated Polish pianist, and a hint of Quaytman’s thoughts transposed into a painting. In a different key is the title Quince Days, a painting of 1979. Fellow travellers would recognize immediately Wallace Stevens’ poem Peter Quince at the Clavier, especially as Quaytman’s visual construction hints at the strings of a piano. -

Weir Farm: Home of an American Impressionist
National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Weir Farm: Home of an American Impressionist Weir Farm: Home of an American Impressionist (Weir Farm National Historic Site) (Weir Farm National Historic Site) Sunny north light streams into the small wooden studio built high on New England’s rocky landscape. Paintbrushes, canvases, and sketchbooks still clutter the artist’s work space. The acrid smell of oil paint pervades the atmosphere and brings to mind a time when an artist National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior Weir Farm: Home of an American Impressionist found creative energy at this rural escape from city life. Outside, the rolling green landscape is intersected by picturesque stone walls. The sweeping hillside is further punctuated by blossoming fruit trees and mature oaks and sugar maples. It is not hard to imagine a distinguished gentleman in a three-piece tweed suit standing before an easel, a paintbrush in one hand and a palette in the other. This is clearly the home of an artist. This is Weir Farm. Weir Farm, in Branchville, Connecticut, exemplifies the "quiet marriage of art and tended landscape that so clearly defined the American Impressionist movement."¹ The painter Julian Alden Weir (1852-1919) acquired the farm in 1882 and summered at this country retreat for nearly forty years. During a period when railroads were expanding, populations were increasing, and America’s agrarian system was being replaced by industry, Weir was one of a group of artists who found comfort and inspiration in the quiet everyday settings of New England, and, in many ways, defined our vision of the American landscape. -

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Harvey Quaytman Blum
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Harvey Quaytman Blum & Poe, Los Angeles November 9, 2019-January 11, 2020 Opening reception: Saturday, November 9, 5-7pm Blum & Poe is pleased to present a selected survey of work spanning three decades by the late artist Harvey Quaytman. This is the gallery’s first exhibition of work by this critical figure in late-20th century American abstraction following the announcement earlier this year of co-representation of the artist’s estate along with Van Doren Waxter. Harvey Quaytman (b. 1937, Rockaway, NY; d. 2002, New York, NY) came of age in the downtown art scene of 1960s New York, living and working in SoHo studios first on Grand Street and later at 231 Bowery, where he would remain through the late ’90s. Long considered an artist’s artist, the painter enjoyed a close-knit and vibrant artistic and social milieu, over the years sharing studio addresses with Brice Marden, Ron Gorchov, and James Rosenquist, among others. Quaytman’s emerging career as a young painter began in the heyday of Ab Ex with a marked allegiance to Gorky and de Kooning. This approach was slowly shed as the decade unfolded, as his work began to lean towards sculpture— compositions with curvilinear shaped canvases and rectilinear U-shaped bases that inhabited a newfound objecthood. This was followed by a forty-year engagement with geometric abstraction, his approach to painting in contradistinction to the prevailing trends of the era—first with Pop Art and later Neo Expressionism. Despite painting being declared “dead” by Minimalist and Conceptual artists of the time, Quaytman maintained a commitment to the medium and to his vision throughout, helping to shape an alternate trajectory for American painting.
