  • Free Art and a Planned Giveaway

Henri Gallery Records, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. first attempt to create the paintings, using local art students, so poor that he refused to put his name to them.40 McGowin ultimately enlisted Michael Clark (now known as Clark V. Fox), a recent graduate of the Corcoran School of Art and a skilled artist, to paint the fifty copies.41 The process of mass-reproducing Popsicle highlighted a hierarchy of labor in Giveaway, by which the physical production of the work was subordinate to its conception. Working on five canvases at a time, twelve to sixteen hours a day for nine days, and paid less than a skilled worker’s hourly wages plus meals, Clark painted all fifty works.42 Extant canvases bear the silkscreened names of the three event organizers followed by Clark’s original signature, with some—but not all—of the works also signed by Clark’s assistants ( fig. 10).43 In effect diminishing the painter and fabricators’ skill and artistic contributions, Douglas Davis declared “although his work is original and profound, in some ways Gene Davis is an easy copy.”44 Like Sturtevant’s repetitions, the copies of Popsicle were not exact.45 Mixing pigments to produce the exact hues of the original painting was challenging, given the brevity of Davis’s instructions.46 Moreover, at least one critic noted stylistic differences between Davis’s and Clark’s stripes; the older artist had been interested in how overlapping colors could produce faint effects of subtle vibration, but Clark did not have the luxury of letting one stripe dry before painting the next.47 Subtle aesthetic differences between the original and its reproductions produced fresh skepticism about a model of creative practice unable to see beyond the dichotomy of author and nonauthor.

  • Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's Shadow 1 MUSEUM
    1 MUSEUM DIGITAL ARCHIVE Loss and Restitution: The Story of the Grunwald Family Collection Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Shadow PETER H. FOX A major strength of the original Fred Grunwald collection is early twentieth-century German illustrated books. The resurgence of artistic interest in book design precipitated by Jugendstil is evident in Joseph Sattler’s vision of Germanic myth in Die Nibelunge (The Nibelunge, 1900) and Oskar Kokoschka’s fable Die Träumenden Knaben (The Dreaming Boys, 1908), while Expressionist impulses animate Wassily Kandinsky’s mystical Klänge (Sounds, 1913), Max Beckmann’s treatment of friend Kasimir Edschmid’s novel Die Fürstin (The Princess, 1918), and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s design for poet Georg Heym’s Umbra Vitae (The Shadow of Life, 1924) (fig. 1). Kirchner created numerous illustrations to literary texts throughout his career, starting with 1001 Nights in 1906–7, but his edition of Umbra Vitae is the most complete realization of his work in this genre. Unique to the Grunwald Center is a set of two bound volumes with 163 original woodcuts, drawings, and other illustrations by Kirchner, which were created from roughly 1919 to 1923 (figs. 2–3). Previously unaccounted for in the literature on the artist, these volumes present a new perspective on the significance of illustration for Kirchner’s artistic project. This essay explores Kirchner’s engagement with Umbra Vitae as a turning point in his oeuvre, a moment in which his desires to work through the trauma of World War I and control the reception of his art coalesced.

  • Memories & Inspiration
    MEMORIES & INSPIRATION The Kerry and C. Betty Davis Collection of African American Art TRAVELING EXHIBITION SERVICE A PHILOSOPHY OF ART, COLLECTING, AND LIFE The traveling exhibition Memories & Inspiration: The Kerry and C. Betty Davis Collection of African American Art presents sixty-two selected works from a body of art amassed over thirty-five years by an ordinary working-class couple. Often choosing artworks over material items and other creature comforts, Kerry, a retired mailman, and Betty, a former television news producer, have opted instead to live with drawings, paintings, prints, and sculpture as their principal luxuries. While their stated intention to “preserve cultural memories and provide their community with a source of inspiration” are goals shared by most art enthusiasts, Kerry and Betty do not search exclusively for well-known and/or documented artists, keeping in mind “the importance of gathering and preserving a spectrum of approaches to the black image in order to console the psyche and contribute to a more authentic articulation of the self.” To this end, the Davises continue to be students of the visual arts through visits to galleries and museums and through their voracious reading of exhibition catalogues, artist monographs, books, and online data about artists, art genres, mediums, and history. The Davis Collection has evolved considerably over the years, as its owners went from sifting through entries posted on various auction sites to visiting artists in their studios, dropping by galleries, trading with other collectors, going to estate sales, and receiving artworks from artists as gifts. The result is an eclectic gathering of pieces crossing different mediums, subjects, and styles by a group of artists of the African Diaspora who—in terms of training, experience, and expression—are singularly diverse but unified in their use of cultural and historical narratives.
