  • 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.

  • 0 0 0 0 Acasa Program Final For
    PROGRAM ABSTRACTS FOR THE 15TH TRIENNIAL SYMPOSIUM ON AFRICAN ART Africa and Its Diasporas in the Market Place: Cultural Resources and the Global Economy The core theme of the 2011 ACASA symposium, proposed by Pamela Allara, examines the current status of Africa’s cultural resources and the influence—for good or ill—of market forces both inside and outside the continent. As nation states decline in influence and power, and corporations, private patrons and foundations increasingly determine the kinds of cultural production that will be supported, how is African art being reinterpreted and by whom? Are artists and scholars able to successfully articulate their own intellectual and cultural values in this climate? Is there anything we can do to address the situation? WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2O11, MUSEUM PROGRAM All Museum Program panels are in the Lenart Auditorium, Fowler Museum at UCLA Welcoming Remarks (8:30). Jean Borgatti, Steven Nelson, and Marla C. Berns PANEL I (8:45–10:45) Contemporary Art Sans Frontières. Chairs: Barbara Thompson, Stanford University, and Gemma Rodrigues, Fowler Museum at UCLA Contemporary African art is a phenomenon that transcends and complicates traditional curatorial categories and disciplinary boundaries. These overlaps have at times excluded contemporary African art from exhibitions and collections and, at other times, transformed its research and display into a contested terrain. At a moment when many museums with so‐called ethnographic collections are expanding their chronological reach by teasing out connections between traditional and contemporary artistic production, many museums of Euro‐American contemporary art are extending their geographic reach by globalizing their curatorial vision.

  • Les Noirs De L'afrique (Maurice Delafosse, 1922)
    Maurice Delafosse : Les Noirs de l'Afrique (1922) 15 des siècles se sont desséchés ou transformés en nappes souter- raines. Il est probable que l’Afrique du Nord, très différente déjà du reste du continent et se rapprochant de l’Europe méditerra- néenne plus que de l’Afrique centrale et méridionale, était habi- tée par une autre race d’hommes. Selon toute probabilité, les Négrilles de l’époque antérieure à la venue des Noirs en Afrique devaient être des chasseurs et des pêcheurs, vivant à l’état semi-nomade qui convient à des hommes se livrant exclusivement à la chasse ou à la pêche. Leurs mœurs se rapprochaient vraisemblablement beaucoup de celles des Négrilles qui existent encore à l’heure actuelle et sans doute parlaient-ils, comme ceux-ci, des langues mi-isolantes mi-agglutinantes caractérisées, au point de vue phonétique, par le phénomène des « clics 1 » et par l’emploi des tons musicaux. Les grands arbres des forêts, les grottes des montagnes, des abris sous roche, des huttes de branchages ou d’écorces, des ha- bitations lacustres construites sur pilotis devaient leur servir, selon les régions, de résidences plus ou moins temporaires. Peut-être s’adonnaient-ils à l’industrie de la pierre taillée ou po- lie et convient-il de leur attribuer les haches, les pointes de flèche, les grattoirs et les nombreux instruments en pierre que l’on trouve un peu partout dans l’Afrique noire contemporaine et que les Nègres actuels, qui en ignorent la provenance, consi- dèrent comme des pierres tombées du ciel et comme les traces matérielles laissées par la foudre.

  • Room 10 Consuming Pop
    Room 10 Consuming Pop 101 The relationship between art and consumer society is a thread that runs throughout pop art, and this final room deals directly with the lure and act of consumption. The risk that art itself might become a consumable product is mooted in some works here, but others proclaim the power of art to subvert and oppose the operations of global capitalism. Thomas Bayrle’s The Laughing Cow wallpaper makes the cheese company icon omnipresent and inescapable, while Boris Bućan’s series of brand logos transformed into ‘art’ reflect Yugoslavia’s transition to consumerist culture. Advertising always shows consumption as pleasurable. Many works here expose the coercion that backs it up, from the bars on the screen in Sanja Iveković’s video Sweet Violence , to the aggressively proffered American products in Keiichi Tanaami’s Commercial War animation. 102 Wall labels Clockwise from right of wall text Thomas Bayrle 1937 Born and works Germany The Laughing Cow (Blue) Wallpaper La Vache qui rit (blau) Tapete 1967/2015 Wallpaper, silkscreen on paper Courtesy the artist, Air de Paris and Groupe Bel, Paris X50880 32 103 Komar and Melamid Vitaly Komar 1943 Alexander Melamid 1945 Born Russia (former USSR), work USA Post Art No 1 (Warhol) Post Art No 2 (Lichtenstein) Post Art No 3 (Indiana) 1973 Oil paint on canvas Russian artists Komar and Melamid reappropriated canonical American works, copying them from reproductions in Lucy Lippard’s seminal book Pop Art (1966).
