  • The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937
    “First Surrealists Were Cavemen”: The American Abstract Artists and Their Appropriation of Prehistoric Rock Pictures in 1937 Elke Seibert How electrifying it must be to discover a world of new, hitherto unseen pictures! Schol- ars and artists have described their awe at encountering the extraordinary paintings of Altamira and Lascaux in rich prose, instilling in us the desire to hunt for other such discoveries.1 But how does art affect art and how does one work of art influence another? In the following, I will argue for a causal relationship between the 1937 exhibition Prehis- toric Rock Pictures in Europe and Africa shown at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the new artistic directions evident in the work of certain New York artists immediately thereafter.2 The title for one review of this exhibition, “First Surrealists Were Cavemen,” expressed the unsettling, alien, mysterious, and provocative quality of these prehistoric paintings waiting to be discovered by American audiences (fig. ).1 3 The title moreover illustrates the extent to which American art criticism continued to misunderstand sur- realist artists and used the term surrealism in a pejorative manner. This essay traces how the group known as the American Abstract Artists (AAA) appropriated prehistoric paintings in the late 1930s. The term employed in the discourse on archaic artists and artistic concepts prior to 1937 was primitivism, a term due not least to John Graham’s System and Dialectics of Art as well as his influential essay “Primitive Art and Picasso,” both published in 1937.4 Within this discourse the art of the Ice Age was conspicuous not only on account of the previously unimagined timespan it traversed but also because of the magical discovery of incipient human creativity.

  • Painterly Representation in New York: 1945-1975
    PAINTERLY REPRESENTATION IN NEW YORK, 1945-1975 by JENNIFER SACHS SAMET A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty in Art History in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, The City University of New York 2010 © 2010 JENNIFER SACHS SAMET All Rights Reserved ii This manuscript has been read and accepted for the Graduate Faculty in Art History in satisfaction of the dissertation requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Date Dr. Patricia Mainardi Chair of the Examining Committee Date Dr. Patricia Mainardi Acting Executive Officer Dr. Katherine Manthorne Dr. Rose-Carol Washton Long Ms. Martica Sawin Supervision Committee THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK iii Abstract PAINTERLY REPRESENTATION IN NEW YORK, 1945-1975 by JENNIFER SACHS SAMET Advisor: Professor Patricia Mainardi Although the myth persists that figurative painting in New York did not exist after the age of Abstract Expressionism, many artists in fact worked with a painterly, representational vocabulary during this period and throughout the 1960s and 1970s. This dissertation is the first survey of a group of painters working in this mode, all born around the 1920s and living in New York. Several, though not all, were students of Hans Hofmann; most knew one another; some were close friends or colleagues as art teachers. I highlight nine artists: Rosemarie Beck (1923-2003), Leland Bell (1922-1991), Nell Blaine (1922-1996), Robert De Niro (1922-1993), Paul Georges (1923-2002), Albert Kresch (b. 1922), Mercedes Matter (1913-2001), Louisa Matthiasdottir (1917-2000), and Paul Resika (b. 1928). This group of artists has been marginalized in standard art historical surveys and accounts of the period.

Re-created Flatness: Hans Hofmann’s Concept of the Picture Plane as a Medium of Expression MICHAEL SCHREyacH There is a fundamental difference between flatness and flatness. There can be a flatness that is meaningless and there can be a flatness that is the high- est expression of life—from infinity depth up to the surface: an ultimately restor[ed] two-dimensionality. [Restoring flatness] is what plastic creation means. Otherwise it is decoration. —Hans Hofmann, “Lecture I”1 Introduction That “flatness” might be equivalent to “the highest expression of life” in modern art is by no means a straightforward assertion.

When this consciousness is attained, a revolt takes place: the beginning of the deliverance from that expression of reality. Destruction of its limitation follows. The culture of intuitive faculties has conquered. A clearer perception of constant reality is possible. A new realism appears... Piet Mondrian: A New Realism Piet Mondrian’s art represents the most revolutionary contribution of our time to the historical development of plastic perception in relation to reality. The vitality of his expression contains profound implications for our understanding of the past and future, as well as of the present.

MEMORIAL EXHIBITION OPENS AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Sponsored by the Netherland-America Foundation, a retrospec­ tive memorial exhibition of the works of the Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian, opens today (Wednesday, March 21) at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street. The exhibition will Include about fifty oils and drawings by this Dutch artist who was the leading painter of the de Stijl group in Holland, and will cover the period from 1900 until the painter's death in New York in February 1944. The exhibi­ tion has been directed by James Johnson Sweeney, Director of the Museum1s Department of Painting and Sculpture. Born March 7, 1872 in Amersfoprt, Holland, Mondrian spent many years in Paris and was the originator of neo-plasticisnw The artist summed up his life work and hopes as follows: "It is my conviction that humanity, after centuries of culture, can accelerate its progress through the acquisi­ tion of a truer vision of reality. Plastic art discloses what science has discovered: that time and subjective vision veil the true reality* "Despite oppressive factors, the great plastic art of the past.has made us feel true reality: it has always struggled to abolish the barriers that prevent expression of this reality. In plastic culture, from,the remotest past down to the present, we see a growing evolution toward freedom, from the limitations of time and subjectivity." Together with fheoxan Doesburg and de Stijl group his in* fluence has been great on modern architecture, typography, and layout design.

JOOSTEN – AN INTERVIEW Madalena Holtzman 20 4 FOREWORD In November 2013 Madalena Holtzman visited the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History. Being one of three children of the American artist Harry Holtzman, she was particularly interested in the material regarding her father that was acquired by the RKD in early 2012. Harry Holtzman became a good friend of the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, whom he first visited in Paris in December 1934. Holtzman financially supported Mondrian when the latter immigrated to New York in September 1940. In New York, Harry Holtzman let Mondrian stay in his studio and continued looking after and supporting him, both financially and morally. Out of gratitude for this lasting friendship and help, Mondrian declared Holtzman the sole heir to his Estate and belongings. When the RKD acquired the personal archive of Piet Mondrian in early 2012, this turned out to also contain the letters that Piet Mondrian had written to Harry Holtzman between 1935 and 1943, documenting their friend- ship, travels, exhibitions and work in the aforementioned period.
