  • Gertrude Abercrombie
    University Galleries’ Permanent Collection EDUCATOR RESOURCE Gertrude Abercrombie ABOUT THE ARTIST: Gertrude Abercrombie (b. 1909, Austin, Texas — d. 1977, Chicago) was a Chicago-based oil painter most known for her Surrealist/ Magical Realist portraits and landscapes. The life of the party and lover of jazz, Abercrombie was known in Chicago as the “queen of bohemian artists” (Seaman, 2017. Pg. 28). She was the daughter of traveling opera singers Lula Janes and Tom Abercrombie, who eventually settled in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, where Abercrombie remained for most of her adult life. Abercrombie earned a bachelor’s degree in Romance Languages from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. She briefly studied figure drawing at the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as commercial art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago. After her death on July 3, 1977, much of Abercrombie’s work was donated to museums and other not-for-profit organizations per her last will and testament (Weininger & Smith, 1991. Pg. 34). Abercrombie's work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Illinois State Museum, Springfield, Lewistown, Lockport; The Art Institute of Chicago; Museum of Contem- porary Art, Chicago; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; and Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee (Karma, n.d.). ABOUT THE ARTWORK: Abercrombie’s paintings are open-ended and ambiguous, rendering familiar objects mysterious and bizarre. Regularly revisited motifs—a vast and desolate landscape, the full moon, a solitary woman, sparse interior spaces, cats, a single dead tree, doors leading to nowhere—weave an allegorical web of Abercrombie’s physiological and psychological experiences.

  • Gertrude Abercrombie Organized with Dan Nadel August 9–September 16, 2018 Opening Reception: Thursday, August 9, 2018, 6–8Pm
    Gertrude Abercrombie Organized with Dan Nadel August 9–September 16, 2018 Opening reception: Thursday, August 9, 2018, 6–8pm Karma is pleased to present Gertrude Abercrombie’s first exhibition in New York since 1952. Abercrombie (1909–1977), a key figure in mid-century American Surrealism, was a sui generis artist who, from the late 1930s until her death, painted images populated by objects of personal significance — including moons, towers, cats, a barren tree, owls, hats, pennants, winding paths, grapes, bridges, Victorian furniture, shells, snails, and doors — to create allegories for her own often perilous emotional and psychological states. Often residing over these symbols was Gertrude herself, who appears in numerous pictures as proud observer, defiant actor, and witchy caricature. This exhibition, comprised of loans from institutions and private collections, is the most comprehensive look at Abercrombie’s artwork in nearly three decades. Abercrombie, the only daughter of Opera singer parents, grew up in Texas, Germany, and Aledo, Illinois, before settling in 1916 in Hyde Park, Chicago, where she spent the rest of her life. Aledo and its hills, ruins, and trees — the distinctly midwestern landscape she adored most — remained a constant in her work. She took art classes at the American Academy of Art and the School of the Art Institute. In 1933 she was appointed to the Public Works of Art Project (the first of the government supported arts programs), which gave her the time to find her subject matter and approach. Abercrombie exhibited in Art Institute Annuals and galleries in both Chicago and New York in the 1940s and 50s and became the center of several overlapping circles of Chicago and midwestern culture.

  • Surrealism, Occultism and Politics
    Surrealism, Occultism and Politics This volume examines the relationship between occultism and Surrealism, specif- ically exploring the reception and appropriation of occult thought, motifs, tropes and techniques by surrealist artists and writers in Europe and the Americas from the 1920s through the 1960s. Its central focus is the specific use of occultism as a site of political and social resistance, ideological contestation, subversion and revolution. Additional focus is placed on the ways occultism was implicated in surrealist dis- courses on identity, gender, sexuality, utopianism and radicalism. Dr. Tessel M. Bauduin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer at the Uni- versity of Amsterdam. Dr. Victoria Ferentinou is an Assistant Professor at the University of Ioannina.

    William Zorach American, b. Lithuania, 1887- 1966 401 Interior and Exterior Audio oil on canvas, 1919 Collection of John and Susan Horseman Born in Lithuania, William Zorach immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of three, finally settling in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1896. Zorach studied with legendary Cleveland artist and teacher Henry Keller before meeting and becoming friends with artist William Sommer through his apprenticeship at the Otis Lithograph Company, where Sommer worked as a commercial illustrator. Sommer served as a mentor to the much younger Zorach, encouraging him to travel abroad to widen his artistic horizon. Zorach heeded his advice, traveling to Paris in 1910. Yasuo Kuniyoshi American, b. Japan, 1893- 1953 Morning oil on canvas, 1920 Collection of John and Susan Horseman Lured by romantic ideas of America as a land of opportunity and prosperity, Yasuo Kuniyoshi left Japan and immigrated to the United States in 1906, at the age of thirteen. Soon after he arrived in California, Kuniyoshi enrolled at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design, and then, in 1910, he moved to New York, a city poised to become the center of an increasingly international art world. Kuniyoshi was invited to take part in the 1917 Society of Independent Artists exhibition, an artist- organized rebuttal to the annual juried exhibition of the conservative National Academy of Design. By 1920, the year he completed this painting, Kuniyoshi was living in a small hut-like dwelling in Ogunquit, Maine. There, Kuniyoshi created works, like this, that fused traditional and modern ideas. Working in a style uniquely his own, Kuniyoshi created this interpretation of the American landscape.

  • Gertrude Abercrombie Karma, New York, 2018
    GERTRUDE ABERCROMBIE KARMA, NEW YORK, 2018. Gertrude Abercrombie By Susan Weininger In about 1938, Gertrude Abercrombie’s friend, the late Rickey Austin, purchased a small but typical Interior from Katharine Kuh’s gallery. Abercrombie, in a character- istically enigmatic way, told Austin that he would “get a bonus with that painting,” but would have to find the bonus himself. Some years later, when he decided to reframe the painting, he discovered Abercrombie’s “bonus”: a self-portrait on paper, signed and dated 1929 (her earliest extant painting), which had been used as a backing for the later painting. What makes this hidden self-portrait so interesting is what it reveals about Abercrombie as a person and a painter. In fact, an examination of both paintings illuminates some of the essential features of Abercrombie’s art and the life with which that art was so intimately connected. It was in the late seventies that Austin told Abercrombie of his find and her reaction was delight. “I wondered when you would find the bonus,” she said, impressing Austin with her memory. Her delight in Austin’s discovery resulted from her percep- tion of the self-portrait as a document which she could not destroy because of its historical significance. Abercrombie’s notoriously frugal nature may have also con- tributed to her actions in this case; they are even less surprising when we remember that this was done during the Depression, when materials and money were scarce. Regardless, she always found it difficult to part with things, particularly if they had to do with herself.
