JULY 3 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2,1968 THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

FOREWORD

Every July for the past fourteen summers the Metropolitan Museum has presented a summer loan exhibition of paintings culled from the private collections of New Yorkers. Year after year the show is so spectacularly good, the quality of the works of art shown is soconsistently high, that after nearly a decade and a half one has to conclude that the wealth of material in private collections must indeed be well-nigh inex haustible.

What has grown into a major annual exhibition actually began in a small way when the Curator of European Paintings, thinking to plug temporarily some of the gaps in the Museum's collection of late nineteenth- century French paintings persuaded a handful of collectors to lend their impressionist and post-impressionist works. The Museum's own holdings have grown brilliantly since then, and so, I might add, have those of the private individual. In a continuing effort to show new things, each year the list of lenders increased and the range of works of art chosen grew wider. The show, we realized this year, had acquired such a unique character of its own that we gave it a proper title, "New York Collects," strung a banner across the building's facade to announce its opening, and prepared this special checklist which is the bare skeleton for what we hope will be a full catalogue to the show in 1969.

There are 273 works this year: 240 paintings, 24 watercolors and nine pieces of sculpture that comprise the largest and most varied show ever held. There are examples of almost every major artist from Corot and Manet in the mid-nineteenth century to Larry Poons and Frank Stella in the present. There are 23 pictures by Monet, 20 by Pissarro, 16 by Renoir,

1G&311 15 by Cezanne (not including a cache of 12 watercolors), 13 by Picasso, 10 by Bonnard, seven by Manet and six each by Degas and Braque.

There is an entire gallery devoted to late 19th and early 20th century American painters, among them Glackens, Hassam, Prendergast and Sargent. In another, such contemporaries as Hans Hofmann, Jasper Johns, Mark di Suvero are included in the show for the first time.

Of the 60 collectors whose works make up the exhibition, over 20 are lending for the first time. And amazingly, almost two thirds of these objects have never been seen before at the Metropolitan, and many never publicly exhibited anywhere in the country.

As I toured the galleries the day before the show opened, I was struck as I always am by the sureness of taste, the informed vision that lay behind the acquisition of so great a number of these works. There is one magnificent picture after another, and in showing them in our galleries we in effect invite the collector's eye to act as a foil to our own. There is a subliminal interplay between their works of art and the Museum's that is valuable, fruitful and exciting. It is a kind of visual dialogue among peers and we would all be the poorer without it.

Among those who worked on the exhibition, I particularly want to thank Guy-Philippe de Montebello, Associate Curator of European Paintings, for his great efforts in organizing and hanging the exhibition, and for his preparation of biographies of each artist and the detailed check list of their works.

And thanks are due, of course, to the collectors themselves. No other city, it seems certain to me, could produce year after year from its own resources, such an ever-changing array of sheer masterpieces.

Long may New York collect.

Thomas P. F. Hoving Director PAINTINGS

APPEL, KAREL (DUTCH, 1921- ) Born in Amsterdam in 1921, Appel studied at the Rijksakademie from 1940 to 1943. In 1948 he was a founding member of the "Cobra" group with which he exhibited from 1949 to 1951. He now works and lives in Paris. Appel's work typifies the "Cobra" group's trust in the evocative force of pure color and automistic handling of paint to release images from the subconscious.

BALTHUS (FRENCH, 1903- ) While Balthus, now President of the French Academy in Rome, insists on clear and recognizable images in his canvases, the content of his art is highly abstract and subjective, filled with suggestions of his own disquieting dreams.

The Cup of Coffee oil on canvas, 63 1/2 x 51 1/4 signed and dated, 1959/60 Lent by Sheldon H. Solow

BELLOWS, GEORGE (AMERICAN, 1882-1925) Bellows began as a student of Robert Henri in 1904 and readily accepted his teacher's tenet that the subject matter provided by New York City was all an artist needed for material. Using a rich palette like Henri's, Bellows portrayed his people lounging in the parks, standing in bars, or fight ing in the ring, as well as posing calmly for their portraits.

BENSON, FRANK W. (AMERICAN, 1862-1951) Benson was born in Massachusetts and received training at the Boston Museum School before studying in Paris with Boulanger and Lefebvre. He taught painting in Maine and then at the Museum School for many years. His pictures, generally of sporting scenes or out-door figure groups, are characterized by light and sunny tones.

Summer Day oil on canvas, 36 1/8 x 32 1/8 signed, about 1912 Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz

BERNARD, EMILE (FRENCH, 1868-1941) Bernard, who was a poet and critic as well as a painter, studied art briefly in Paris in the studio of Cormon. In the late eighties, at Pont Aven in Brittany, he developed a technique based on stained glass painting, and with Gauguin laid the foundations of the movement that came to be known as Symbolism. In his later work Bernard surprisingly, returned to Neo-Classicism. His writings are one of the major sources for the study of Post-Impres sionism.

BLUM, ROBERT (AMERICAN, 1857-1903) Blum received his early training as a lithographer in Cincinnati and Chicago, and later settled in New York, working as a magazine illustrator. Subsequently he absorbed

BOGGS, FRANK (AMERICAN, 1855-1926) Boggs was trained in Paris by the conservative painter Gerome, but the major influences on his mature work were Jongkind and the Dutch marine painters of the 17th cen tury. Using a free semi-impressionist technique, Boggs specialized in painting shipping and street scenes, many of them located in and around Paris.

BONNARD, PIERRE (FRENCH, 1867-1947) Along with Edouard Vuillard, Bonnard belonged to a loosely organized circle of painters who called themselves 'Nabis.' These painters held as their aim the expression of meaning and emotion through color in a way that should be symbolic but at the same time more direct and less literary than the "Symbolism" of Gauguin. Although Bonnard's method of painting is based on Impressionism, his compositions often bring to mind in their unorthodox arrangements the works of Henri Matisse.

BRAQUE, GEORGES (FRENCH, 1882-1963) Braque began his career as a Fauve, working in the manner of Matisse and Derain, but by 1908 he came under the influence of Cezanne's most formal and geometrical pictures. Together with Picasso, Braque invented the Cubist style, which led to some of the first truly abstract paintings of the twentieth century. Most of Braque's later pictures have recognizable subjects, such as nudes or still lifes, but they are always composed of large, sensous shapes that reflect his early interest in Cubism.

CASSATT, MARY (AMERICAN, 1844-1926) Daughter of a wealthy Philadelphia family, Mary Cassatt studied painting in Italy, Spain, and Belgium before joining the impressionist circle in Paris. She was the only American to become an intimate member of the group. A particular disciple of Degas, she painted domestic scenes of women and children "caught" in quiet moments.

CEZANNE, PAUL (FRENCH, 1839-1906)

Cezanne exhibited with the Impressionists in their first show in 1874 and again in 1877, but he was never really in sympathy with their basic aims. In subjects which they treated with spontaneity and sensuous enthusiasm, he sought to bring out the underlying rhythms and permanent structure, thus giving his work a deeper and more serious effect. He was obsessed with a search for repeated forms and rhythms in every aspect of nature, and he created geometrical harmonies that opened the way to Cubism and other abstract styles.

CHAGALL, MARC (RUSSIAN, 1889- ) Chagall was born in Vitebsk and as a young man studied painting at the academy in St. Petersburg. From 1910 to 1914 he was in Paris, where he became a friend of Apollinaire's. He returned to Russia and headed an art school in Vitebsk from 1914 to 1922. He spent six years between 1941 and 1947 in the United States. Returning to France, he settled in Vence, where he now lives. The primary sources of Chagall's art are the rich folk traditions of his native Vitebsk and the structure of analytical cubism that he encountered in Paris. These elements, coupled with a whimsical fancy and great originality, have made his work throughout a long career consistently delightful.

CHIRICO, GIORGIO DE (ITALIAN, 1888- ) Born of Italian parents in Greece, de Chirico played a prominent role in the art movements of Futurism in Italy and Surrealism in France. His early Futurist pictures are social allegories of man's isolation in the modern world, painted in a hard, uncompromising style. His later works, done mostly in Paris, are neo-lmpressionistic in handling, and often depict classical subjects.

44. The Archeologists oil on canvas, 57 1/2 x 45 1/2 signed and dated, 1927 Lent by Ian Woodner

CORINTH, LOVIS (GERMAN, 1858-1925) Corinth was born in East Prussia in 1858 and studied first at the Konigsberg Academy and then at the Munich Acade my. Between 1884 and 1887 he visited Paris repeatedly and in 1902 moved to Berlin where he remained until his death in 1925. A leader among the German Impressionists before the first World War, Corinth's later works, where his violent temperament led him to a more expressionistic style, are the most successful.

-9- COROT, JEAN BAPTISTE CAMILLE (FRENCH, 1796-1875) Born in Paris, the son of a well-to-do tradesman, Corot studied with several academic painters before he came under the influence of Bonington's sketches, which set him an example of natural, uncontrived compositions. Corot's style gradually evolved from realistic Italian landscapes to imaginary, rather indefinite motives that give a striking poetic effect.

DEGAS, EDGAR HILAIRE GERMAIN (FRENCH, 1834-1917) Degas was deeply impressed by the style of Ingres, and studied with one of his pupils, Louis Lamothe, who directed him toward the classic and linear tradition. After studying old masters in Italy, he exhibited pictures steadily with the Impressionists, though he was never completely at one with their predilection for painting landscapes out of doors. He did, however, share with them a tendency to use light colors and a deep interest in the effects of light and movement. He excelled as a draftsman, and his bold use of color had a significant influence on Toulouse-Lautrec, the Fauves, and the young Picasso.

DU BOIS, GUY PENE (AMERICAN, 1884-1958) After art studies in New York and later Paris, du Bois returned to New York in 1906 where he worked as an art critic, magazine editor and teacher. He inherited an interest in realism and social comment from Daumier and Forain, as well as from his compatriots, the leaders of the Ashcan School. In his own work, however, he concentrated on themes depicting the life of the well-to-do.

FANTIN-LATOUR, HENRI (FRENCH, 1836-1904) Although he was trained by his father, Theodore, it was the influence of Courbet that determined his style. He specialized in flower pieces and group portraits which bear a superficial resemblance to the style of Impressionism because they are pastel in tone and consistently subdued. His later works tend to be literary in spirit, somewhat reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite school, with which he had become familiar during three visits to England.

FRIESZ, OTHON (FRENCH, 1879-1949) Friesz was born in Le Havre, where he formed an early friendship with Dufy,with whom he studied painting. Later he studied at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and at Moreau's studio, where he met Matisse. He contributed to the famous exhibition of the "Fauves" in 1906. The "Fauve" discoveries

GAUGUIN, PAUL (FRENCH, 1848-1903) The style of Gauguin's paintings at the beginning of his career was based on the work of the Barbizon painters and later on that of the Impressionists. But he very early arrived at Cezanne's belief that the purely visual sensations on which the Impressionists concentrated could not produce a strong expression of emotion. Yearning for an utterly simple life surrounded by primitive people, Gauguin set out in 1891 for Tahiti. His works express poetry in simplified plastic terms and embody the essence of the artistic and literary movement of Symbolism.

GLACKENS, WILLIAM (AMERICAN, 1870-1938) Glackens studied at the Pennsylvania Academy in Phila delphia and there met most of the painters and illustrators later wryly called the "Ashcan School". In a highly realistic vein, he depicted the variety of city life to be found through the parks, streets, and houses of New York. Deeply influenced by impressionist technique, his later work showed a strong dependence on the example set by Renoir.

GOGH, VINCENT VAN (DUTCH, 1853-1890) He had some familiarity with painting at an early age, as three of his uncles were picture dealers. In Paris he met Pissarro, Degas, Gauguin, Seurat and Toulouse-Lautrec, and became identified with the Impressionist movement. He gave fresh life to the pictorial elements of painting by making color more radiant, by applying paint in emphatic strokes, and, in contrast to the Impressionists,

GRIS, JUAN (SPANISH, 1887-1927) In 1905 he arrived in Paris and came into contact with Picasso, Braque, Derain,and Leger. Like them he contributed to the Cubist movement and sought to give his composi tions a mathematical clarity. In his later works his style became increasingly abstract.

HOFMANN, HANS (AMERICAN, 1880-1966) Hofmann was born in Weissenburg, Bavaria. He studied in Munich until 1904, and then spent ten years in Paris. Upon his return to Munich he opened an art school. He came to the United States in 1930 and taught in California and New York. Hofmann is important both as a teacher and painter. By 1950 he had achieved a strong personal style and alerted a whole generation of younger Americans to the potential of abstraction.

HOMER, WINSLOW (AMERICAN, 1836-1910) Born in Boston, Homer worked there and in New York as an illustrator for magazines before taking a trip in 1866-67 to Paris, where he was impressed by the work of Manet. In the course of his career Homer produced watercolors and oils, combining landscape and figure motifs in com positions of remarkable simplicity and power. Successful during his lifetime Homer is regarded today as one of America's greatest artists.

HOPPER, EDWARD (AMERICAN, 1882-1967) Born in Nyack on the Hudson River, Hopper came to New York City in 1900to study painting, primarily under Robert Harris at the New York School of Art. In the next few years he visited France and Spain and then divided his time between winters in New York and summers on Cape Cod. Throughout his long and consistent career, Hopper painted his environment in simple volumes illuminated by harsh lighting, and expressing a sense of isolation that is uniquely American.

From 1954 to 1956 he lived in Europe and North Africa, and is now residing in Los Angeles. His prominence among the newly emerging school of local artists has helped make Los Angeles the "second city" of the art centers in the United States.

JOHNS, JASPER (AMERICAN, 1930- ) Born in Allendale, South Carolina, Johns studied at the University of South Carolina for two years, spent six months in Japan with the army and moved to New York in 1952.

KLEE, PAUL (GERMAN, 1879-1941) Klee was born near Bern in Switzerland. He belonged to the Blaue Reiter group of German Expressionists in Munich, and exhibited with them in 1911 and 1912. Gropius appointed him in 1920 to the faculty of the Weimar Bauhaus. Though the style of Klee passed through representational and cubist phases, he is best known for his fanciful abstractions of realistic form with a uniquely original combination of drawing and painting. Impressed

KLIMT, GUSTAV (AUSTRIAN, 1862-1918) A leading figure in the International Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil movement, Klimt created an art that is char acterized by swinging linear rhythms and flat, decorative patterns, which he imaginatively put to use in his highly original portraits. He exerted great influence on Kokoshka and Schiele.

LAWSON, ERNEST (AMERICAN, 1873-1939) A member of the famous "Ashcan School" or The Eight, Lawson was taught by the Impressionists John Twachtman and J. Alden Weir. His characteristic subjects were winter and summer views of Manhattan Island, particularly its northern end near the Harlem Canal. Although he exhibited with the flamboyant Eight, Lawson's use of broken tones and heavy impasto show his origins as an impressionist painter.

19 LEGER, FERNAND (FRENCH, 1881-1955) Leger studied painting at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs and at the Academie Julian in Paris. He exhibited at Kahn- weiler's, Picasso's dealer, and after the first World War traveled and worked with Le Corbusier. During the thirties, Leger made three trips to the United States and taught at Yale University and at Mills College in Oakland. A pioneer in the pre-World War I development of "Machine art", he depicted the industrial era in terms of his personal variation of Cubism, adapting Cubist forms to all media including painting, sculpture, and fabric-design.

LEPINE, STANISLAS (FRENCH, 1835-1892) Lepine studied first with Corot, and later developed a per sonal, restrained approach to Impressionism. He spe cialized in views of the Seine that are wonderfully luminous and show the influence of Jongkind.

LUNGREN, FERNAND (AMERICAN, 1859-1932) As a young man Lungren was influenced by Kenyon Cox to become an artist. He studied with Thomas Eakins in Philadelphia, then worked illustrating magazines there and in New York. After attending the Academie Julian in Paris, Lungren made a reputation painting American Indian and western scenes. His adroit paintings, particularly a number of his city scenes, show how greatly the artist was attracted to the work of Fortuny, Boldini, and Whistler.

MANET, EDOUARD (FRENCH, 1832-1883) Manet, born of an affluent bourgeois family in Paris, studied for six years with the academic painter Couture, and in museums throughout Europe. His paintings, the Dejeuner sur I'herbe and Olympia, though based on Renaissance models, shocked visitors to the Salons because of their modernity. But, their daring technique and their original approach to subject matter were of prime importance to the history of modern painting. Though he never exhibited with the Impressionists, it is for these very reasons that he is often grouped with them.

MATISSE,HENRI (FRENCH, 1869-1954) Matisse studied in Paris under Adolphe Bouguereau and Gustave Moreau. About 1905 he came into close contact with Marquet and Vlaminck, and soon became the head of an informal group of artists known as the Fauves, or wild beasts. Like Picasso he enjoyed a long career, experimented widely with varied media, and constantly developed and revised both his vision and his means of expression. His color possesses enormous vitality, and his drawing is charged with sweeping energy that is reminiscent of the pure designs of Greek vase paintings.

MATTA (CHILEAN, 1912- ) Born in Santiago of French and Spanish extraction, Matta first studied architecture in Paris with Le Corbusier and later joined the Surrealists both in Paris and New York. He now lives in France. Matta created surrealist demonic fantasies that reflect his own very personal view of the world and that are painted in an expressionist style akin to that of the young American abstract expressionists.

MIRO, JOAN (SPANISH, 1893- ) Miro first studied painting in Barcelona. In 1919 he traveled to Paris where he met Picasso and in 1925 exhibited in the first Surrealist Exhibition. He visited the United States at the invitation of his friend Marcel Breuer and during the year that he stayed here executed an important fresco. In 1948 he returned to Barcelona and now lives and works in Mallorca. Miro has created a series of symbols and signs which are uniquely his own, full of candor, whimsy and childlike gaiety.

There he encountered for the first time African sculpture and the works of Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso,and Derain. His painting and sculpture have strong individuality; the influences of his contemporaries, early Cubism, and Primitive art, are all submerged in his personal and subtle combination of mass and line. Modigliani was one of the foremost members of the School of Paris.

He was soon the chief exponent of plein-air painting and was one of the original group of impressionist painters. More than any of the others he expressed to the fullest the style and range of impressionism, consistently exploring through a long career all of its pictorial possibilities. His study of the effects of light and the techniques that he originated exerted a strong influence on his contemporaries and on succeeding generations.

MORISOT, BERTHE (FRENCH, 1841-1895) Berthe Morisot, the daughter of a cultivated family, began the study of art when she was a young girl. She took lessons from Corot and copied a great deal in the Louvre. At the age of twenty-three she made her debut at the Salon and a few years later made the acquaintance of Manet, whose friend she became and whose younger brother Eugene she married. She was an ardent supporter of the impressionist movement and sent nine pictures to the first impressionist exhibition in 1874. She held an important place in the artistic and intellectual life of Paris in her time, and her very attractive paintings are distinguished by a fine sensi bility and an original feminine charm.

PECHSTEIN, MAX HERMANN (GERMAN, 1881-1955) A member of the group of artists in Berlin known as Der Briicke and also of the Neue Sezession, Pechstein taught at the Academy before and after World War II. He directed the style developed by the artists of Der Brucke toward vigorous, consciously "primitive" landscapes, flavored with exotic interpretations of the Palau islands, which he had visited in 1913.

PICABIA, FRANCIS (FRENCH, 1878-1953) Picabia was born in Paris and studied at the Atelier Cormon. By 1909 he was involved with the Cubists and participated in founding the "Section d'Or". From 1918 on he was active first with the Dada movement in Zurich, and then with Surrealism in Paris. Although most of Picabia's career was devoted to the radical expressions of Dada and Surrealism, his origins were impressionist and he has left some notable work in that style.

-29- PICASSO, PABLO (SPANISH, 1881- ) Picasso's extraordinary vitality, rich imagination, and speed account for the large number of his successive styles and their variety. He began painting during the late 1890's in a style based on Impressionism but already endowed with the magnificent draughtsmanship of which he has always been a master. Successive phases of his career, such as the Blue and Pink periods, gave way in 1907 to one of the most important developments of twentieth century paint ing, Cubism, which first appeared in his well known, Demoiselles d'Avignon. In the next few years Picasso and Georges Braque developed this style to a state of nearly complete abstraction. After 1915 Picasso began again to produce realistic pictures, and for almost half a century he has explored concurrently both the representational and the abstract in paintings, sculpture, and the minor arts.

He was primarily an original artist who painted landscapes, genre scenes, portraits, and still lifes. Beyond his contribution as a painter, Pissarro was at the same time a great propagandist for Impressionism, and brought several young artists, notably Cezanne and Gauguin, brief ly into the ranks. His output is vast and his importance among the Impressionists will never be questioned.

POONS, LARRY (AMERICAN, 1937- ) Poons was born in Tokyo in 1937, but was brought up in Great Neck, L.I. He briefly attended the Boston Museum School and has been living in New York since 1960. Poons is one of the leading new American abstract painters. The unified field in his work is activated subtly, yet dynamical ly, by circles and ellipses of color. Although his work has been called optical, it is more complex, and resonance is also one of it's chief characteristics.

Educated in Boston, Prendergast began his career there as a show-card painter. During academic studies in Paris in the early 1890's, he spent summers sketching on the French coast, preferring to work in a freely impressionistic style. His forceful paintings and watercolors, done in an increas ingly broad and decorative manner, were not widely known until the Armory Show in 1913. Today he is recognized as one of America's best painters of the period.

REDON, ODILON (FRENCH, 1840-1916) Although Redon was a visionary and in his early years de voted more time to solitary contemplation than to pro ductive activity, he was very much aware of the work of his contemporaries. Yet Redon's paintings, drawings, and pastels are independent of both academic and Impressionist aesthetics. His own expressed intention was "to place the logic of the visible at the service of the invisible." In up holding the validity of the artist's imagination Redon laid the foundations for Symbolism and was a forerunner of Surrealism and Expressionism.

RENOIR, PIERRE AUGUSTE (FRENCH, 1841-1919) One of the original group of Impressionists, Renoir differs from his colleagues in his concentration on painting the human figure. After an early apprenticeship to a porcelain manufacturer, he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Gleyre's studio, where he met Monet and began to work with him on landscapes painted out of doors. Renoir had a native gift for fresh color and sensuous textures. He con stantly studied the old masters at the Louvre and in his extensive travels. All through the second half of his long career, he aimed at improving his own drawing and com position. His late paintings of nudes achieve a grandeur that recalls those of Ribensand Titian whom he so strongly admired.

ROBINSON, THEODORE (AMERICAN, 1854-1896) Robinson was one of the first American artists to work in the French impressionist style. Before meeting Monet in 1888, he had received an academic training in America and France, but after his discovery of the new style, he relied on it entirely for his figure and landscape painting, much of it done in France. Due to his early death, the size of Robinson's oeuvre is limited.

ROUAULT, GEORGES (FRENCH, 1871-1958) Rouault was apprenticed in his teens to a maker of stained glass and this experience seems to have been the basis for his characteristic use of strong, pure colors, separated by heavy lines of black that resemble the leads in medieval glass windows. In the early years of the twentieth century, Rouault, deeply religious by nature, experienced a period of disturbing spiritual crisis. His bitter rage against corrup tion and injustice was expressed in paintings of prostitutes, judges, and clowns. Although Expressionism has never been strong in France, it is the manifestation of art to which Rouault's work most clearly belongs.

ROUSSEAU, HENRI (FRENCH, 1844-1910) Rousseau painted for many years in his free time, while he was holding the post of a minor inspector at the toll office on the city limits of Paris. He had no real instruction but only some advice from Gerome and Clement. When he was nearly fifty he retired and devoted himself completely to painting, continuing to exhibit at the Salon des Independants. Art critics and literary men, especially

39- ROUSSEAU, HENRI (FRENCH, 1844-1910) Cont'd. Alfred Jarry, made much of him, and he was an active participant in the bohemian amusements of Paris at the turn of the century. He was a musician and playwright as well as a painter, and conducted a school of painting, music and diction. His imagination was extraordinary, leading him to paint a wide range of subjects, most of them exotic, based on his observations of real life, but flying far above actual fact in their bizarre forms and colors.

199. Flamingos oil on canvas, 44 1/2 x 64 Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Payson

SARGENT, JOHN SINGER (AMERICAN, 1856-1925) The son of a cosmopolitan American family, Sargent studied painting in Florence and during the 1870's in Paris with the portraitist Carolus-Duran. He was quickly estab lished as a portrait painter of the fashionable "society" in Europe, England and America.Today Sargent is remembered also for his dashing watercolor and oil sketches of architec tural and landscape subjects, which reflect his admiration for the pictures of Manet and Monet.

200. Venetian Street oil on canvas, 29 x 23 3/4 signed, 1882 Lent by Rita and Daniel Fraad

SEURAT, GEORGES (FRENCH, 1859-1891) In the course of his extremely brief career Seurat moved from Impressionism, the style in which his earliest pictures and many of his sketches are painted, to the carefully formulated style of Pointillism, or Divisionism, which attempted, through its set of definite rules, to solidify and structure the "dissolved" forms of Impressionism. His admi ration of the colorism of Delacroix and especially of Chevreuil's color theories led to his division of pure color, which he applied to the canvas in regulated strokes or dots.

40 SEURAT, GEORGES (FRENCH, 1859-1891) Cont'd. Though the color was thereby intensified, the effect was rather cold, and the compositions rather stiff. Yet his striving for greater control over color, composition, and even the manner in which the spectator looked at the picture at times tempted such artists as Pissarro away from Impressionism, and had a great impact on painting in Belgium.

SISLEY, ALFRED (BRITISH, 1839-1899) Sisley was the son of an English family, but spent al most all of his life in France, where he was a member of the original group of Impressionists. He studied briefly under Gleyre, in whose studio he met and became the friend of Monet, Renoir, and Bazille. Sisley specialized in the painting of landscape and brought to it a very personal style, characterized by great freshness and limpidity in both color and design. His blues and greens are unique in their power to suggest moisture and coolness.

SOUTINE, CHAIM (LITHUANIAN, 1894-1943) Born in Lithuania, Soutine was the son of a very poor and humble tailor. At the age of twenty he went to Paris, where he studied for two years at the Ecole des Beaux Arts. After six years of extreme poverty he came in con tact with the dealer Zborowski, who made it possible for him to work away from Paris, in the Pyrenees and on the Riviera, and ultimately managed the sale of a large part of Soutine's stock of pictures to Dr. Albert Barnes. His turbulent style, determined by his violent temperament

- 42 - SOUTINE, CHAIM (LITHUANIAN, 1894-1943) Cont'd. and his fiercely subjective attitude toward the world, carries the very essence of Expressionism. He had a fine feeling for strong color and a very personal use of the brush, creating notable effects of upheaval and pathos.

STAEL, NICOLAS DE (RUSSIAN, 1914-1955) Nicolas de Stael was born in St. Petersburg in 1914 and in 1919 his family emigrated to Poland. In 1922 he moved to Brussels, where he studied at the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts from 1932-33. By 1940 he had settled in Nice, but visited Paris frequently in the following years. Although he has painted pure abstractions, de Stael's most powerful work and the style he ultimately developed, are identified with visible reality through color and structure.

STELLA, FRANK (AMERICAN, 1936- ) Born in Massachusetts,Stella studied painting at the Phillips Academy, Andover, and then at Princeton University, from which he was graduated in 1958. Since then he has lived in New York. Stella is a leader among those painters today who try to suppress everything subjective in their art. His paintings are among the best realized and most influential of recent abstractions.

TANGUY, YVES (FRENCH, 1900-1955) An accidental encounter with the work of de Chirico led Tanguy to painting. He joined the Surrealists in Paris in 1925. Born in France he became an American citizen in 1935. His dream landscapes, populated by amorphous, amoeba-like forms are perhaps the purest statements of Surrealism, the images of which enjoy their existence only in the mind.

TARBELL, EDMUND C. (AMERICAN, 1862-1938) Born in West Groton, Massachusetts, Tarbell began his studies at the Boston Museum School before he continued them in Paris, where he studied under Boulanger and Lefebvre. Like Benson, he was a member of theTen Amer ican Painters and an instructor at the Museum School. Tarbell's portraits and interiors done in the impressionist style are well-balanced compositions infused with sunlight and atmosphere.

- 44 - TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, HENRI DE (FRENCH, 1864-1901) Cont'd. as a result of two falls. He got some instruction from the animal painter Princeteau and studied briefly with the academicians Bonnat and Cormon. More important to his style were his contacts with the leading contemporary artists of his time. He lived and worked in Montmartre, drawing his subjects from the lurid night-life of the quarter and from the singers, dancers, and acrobats who provided entertainment there. His style is personal and distinguished, with a use of line that recreates individuality and character and gives to them a sharp and penetrating quality of vitality.

45- UTRILLO, MAURICE (FRENCH, 1883-1955) Utrillo, the natural son of the painter Suzanne Valadon, received his first instruction in art from his mother, and after that found his way alone, with some influence for a short time from the Impressionists. His career was frequently interrupted by time spent in attempted cures of his hope less addiction to alcohol. Utrillo painted all kinds of subjects, but is best known for his atmospheric city scenes, beautifully painted views of the pale white washed houses of Paris and the picturesque crooked streets of Montmartre that he has immortalized.

Vlaminck's approach to painting was dominated by his violent manipulation of pigment on canvas. Responding particularly to the passion he found in Van Gogh, he concentrated, often rather self-consciously, on conveying this sense into the dark and stormy street scenes with which he has become popularly identified.

VUILLARD, EDOUARD (FRENCH, 1868-1940) Vuillard studied painting in Paris, at the Academie Julian and also at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. The art of Toulouse- Lautrec and the fashionable Japanese prints influenced his early style, which is characterized by interesting flat patterns and strong contrasts between pale colors and black. His later works are less decorative, but richer and more impressionistic in manner. Vuillard was a close friend of Bonnard and both of them belonged to the group of artists who called themselves Nabis, after the Hebrew word for "prophet". Because of their subject matter they were also known as "Intimists."

DELACROIX, EUGENE (FRENCH, 1798-1863) He formed his style by copying the works of the old masters, especially Rubens, Veronese, and Velazquez, and by responding to the romantic influences of Gros and Gericault. His themes were largely literary and, especially after a six months' voyage to Morocco in 1832, oriental. The dominant characteristic of Delacroix's work is color, which grew increasingly lighter and brighter as his career progressed.

Vogel -51- KANDINSKY, WASSILY (RUSSIAN, 1866-1944) Chief theorist, teacher, and highly original painter in the field of non-objective art, Russian-born Kandinsky aban doned his studies of law and ethnology for painting when he came to Munich in 1896. By 1909 he was painting purely non-representational works. His book Concerning the Spiritual in Art, written in 1910, his organization and participation in the Blaue Reiter exhibitions, and his instruction at the Bauhaus laid the foundations for this important movement in abstract art. Always lyrical, and seeming like spontaneous explosions, his work varies be tween the painterly and the extremely geometrical, this phase of his work being a result of his contact with the Constructivists on a return trip to Russia.

NOLDE, EMIL (GERMAN, 1867-1956) One of Germany's leading twentieth century artists, Nolde is best known today for the paintings he did as a member of the Brucke, a group of artists who worked together in Dresden around 1905. The Brucke artists practiced a kind of Expressionistic art which deliberately distorts form, color, and space in order to express powerful and violent emotions. Nolde particularly is known for his personal use of clashing color schemes and for his preoccupation with religious themes.

SCHIELE, EGON (AUSTRIAN, 1890-1918) Together with Gustav Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, Schiele belongs to the great period of Viennese art during the decade immediately before the first World War.

SIGNAC, PAUL (FRENCH, 1863-1935) A self-taught painter, Signac turned from Impressionism to Neo-lmpressionism on meeting Seurat in 1884. He became the chief theorist of the movement with his treatise on its tenets, published in 1889. Though Signac's painting is less vibrant than that of Seurat, perhaps because he preferred colored squares to Seurat's dots, his watercolors are among the best of this genre.

RODIN, AUGUSTE (FRENCH, 1840-1917) Often compared to Michelangelo and Bernini, Rodin surely ranks with the greatest sculptors of all times. His imagination was inexhaustible, his output prodigious, and his influence for later artists immeasurable. His creative genius outstrips all the classifications, such as Impressionists, Expressionists, or Surrealists, which are conventionally applied to his contemporaries.
