From Theleague LINES from the League The Student and Alumni Magazine of the Art Students League of New York Fall 2013 Letter from the Executive Director itnessing the act of creation is inspirational, especially among artists. Through interaction with one another, students gain insight W and motivation. Step into any League class to witness this energy, or stop into the café and hear the lively discourse on art and creative ideas. The League is at once both a school and a community. As a result, the discourse is richer—not dogmatic but inquisitive, not dismissive but cognitive. The League is a remarkable example of independent study in action, where the greatest benefits go to those who participate the most. By providing the highest quality of instruction and allowing League students to determine their educational path, the League continues to believe in the power of the individual. Not everyone will become a professional artist, but everyone will have gained a level of understanding of the artistic process based on their personal commitment and determination to learn. And for those who arrive as professionals, they will have had the benefits of participation in a supportive, diverse and engaging artistic community. This laissez-faire approach results in each student having a unique experience, and having the opportunity to explore their own imagination. You will see this in the personal stories in this, the imagination issue of Lines from the League. Students from around the world come to the League to connect to art; to learn a language that allows them to explore their creative spirit and potential for poetic visual expression. You will see that once that connection is made the drive to explore is en- thralling. It is the League’s commitment to all its students to provide the means for that exploration to continue. The magazine you hold in your hands, Lines from the League, was founded in 2010 with the objective of building fellowship by sharing stories and showcasing art. You have probably noticed that LINEA, the League’s journal of art and ideas, is no longer being delivered to you. LINEA is now an on-line publication and can be easily accessed through the Art Students League website, or directly at www.asllinea.org. We hope you’ll visit our vibrant journal and enjoy its frequent updates, which include instruc- tor interviews, news, and other new features that reflect the richness of the League’s unique culture in today’s complex and rapidly changing world.

This led to conflicting values which I have often done battle with and which, in turn, led me to art. Paint- ing is meditative. It transports me to an unknown, magical place where time stops and the only things that exist are the smell of paint, the movement of the brushes, and the focus of the mind on the canvas creating its own reality. Art and culture combine to become an expression, and if you can visualize your thoughts and feelings you can attempt to articulate them. As the eldest child, I had responsibilities from a young age which, coupled with my father’s strong mentorship, made me feel that anything was possible. Unknown to me were my parents’ own talents in painting and drawing. My father created a portrait of my mother which I remember to this day because of its intricacy and how it captured her soul. The loss of my father when I was only 13 was perhaps the starting point of my desire to achieve something great. I studied fine arts and psychology in college and successfully completed a PhD. After earning my doctorate, I taught at one of the top business schools in Pakistan while pur- suing my passion for art in my spare time. Art and psychology have a significant link due to the nature of human perception; both leave an open door to interpretation. During this time, as I trained business ex- ecutives to be better leaders, I came across an art exhibition which inspired me to take my passion to a new level. Soon after, I was offered a position in Dubai as a professor, but declined the opportunity. I realized I couldn’t detach from my artmaking and that if I didn’t conjure up the courage im- mediately and give it my all, I might never. I began with watercolors and poster col- ors and moved on to oils. Currently most of my work is in acrylics. This medium speaks the loudest because we are both impatient. Since acrylic dries fairly quickly, it pushes 6 LINES from the League Psychology, Culture and Art A Fruitful Journey Qinza Najm me to make rapid decisions and rely on my others’ realities by pushing the ego out and let the fear of pleasing others be the guiding instincts.

  • The Studio Homes of Daniel Chester French by Karen Zukowski
    SPRING 2018 Volume 25, No. 1 NEWSLETTER City/Country: The Studio Homes of Daniel Chester French by karen zukowski hat can the studios of Daniel Chester French (1850–1931) tell us about the man who built them? He is often described as a Wsturdy American country boy, practically self-taught, who, due to his innate talent and sterling character, rose to create the most heroic of America’s heroic sculptures. French sculpted the seated figure in Washington, D.C.’s Lincoln Memorial, which is, according to a recent report, the most popular statue in the United States.1 Of course, the real story is more complex, and examination of French’s studios both compli- cates and expands our understanding of him. For most of his life, French kept a studio home in New York City and another in Massachusetts. This city/country dynamic was essential to his creative process. BECOMING AN ARTIST French came of age as America recovered from the trauma of the Civil War and slowly prepared to become a world power. He was born in 1850 to an established New England family of gentleman farmers who also worked as lawyers and judges and held other leadership positions in civic life. French’s father was a lawyer who eventually became assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury under President Grant. Dan (as his family called him) came to his profession while they were living in Concord, Massachusetts. This was the town renowned for plain living and high thinking, the home of literary giants Amos Bronson Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau at Walden Pond nearby.

  • Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.
