  • 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.

Datasets 16 A. Data curation. Digital scans of landscape paintings were collected from the two major online sources: Wiki Art (WA) (1) 17 and the Web Gallery of Art (WGA) (2). For our purpose, we collected 12,431 landscape paintings by 1,071 artists assigned to 18 61 nationalities from WA, and 3,610 landscape paintings by 816 artists assigned with 20 nationalities from WGA. While the 19 overall number of paintings from WGA is relatively smaller than from WA, the WGA dataset has a larger volume of paintings 20 produced before 1800 CE. Therefore, we utilize both datasets in a complementary way. 21 As same paintings can be included in both datasets, we carefully constructed a unified dataset by filtering out the duplicate 22 paintings from both datasets by using meta-information of paintings (title, painter, completion date, etc.) to construct a unified 23 set of painting images. The filtering process is as follows.

  • Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912
    perished because of a negative and exclusive solution to the question of shading. Our age is obliged by force of circumstances to finish what our predeces- sors passed on to us. The path of search in this direction is broad, its bends are diverse, its forks numerous; the solutions will be many. Among them, those connected in our art with the name of A. Exter will remain as an ex- ample of courage, freedom, and subtlety. The upsurge of strength and courage in the plastic arts wanes neither beyond the Rhine nor at home, and it is expressed in the high level of pure painting unprecedented in our coun- try, a phenomenon that is characteristic of its contemporary state. DAVID BURLIUK Cubism (Surface—Plane), 1912 For biography see p. 8. The text of this piece, "Kubizm," is from an anthology of poems, prose pieces, and articles, Poshchechina obshchestvennomu vkusu [A Slap in the Face of Public Taste] (Moscow, December 1912 [according to bibl. R350, p. 17, although January 1913, according to KL], pp. 95-101 [bibl. R275]. The collection was prefaced by the famous declaration of the same name signed by David Burliuk, Velimir Khlebni- kov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, and Vladimir Mayakovsky and dated December 1912. The volume also contained a second essay by David Burliuk on texture [bibl. R269], verse by Khlebnikov and Benedikt Livshits, and four prose sketches by Vasilii Kan- dinsky [for further details see bibl. 133, pp. 45-50]. Both the essay on cubism and the one on texture were signed by N. Burliuk, although it is obvious that both were written by David and not by Nikolai (David's youngest brother and a poet of some merit).

  • Articles John E. Bowlt David Burliuk, the Fa- Ther Of
    ARTICLES JOHN E. BOWLT DAVID BURLIUK, THE FA- THER OF RUSSIAN FUTURISM The poet Boris Lavrenev has left the following description of his friend and mentor, David Davidovich Burliuk: "The thickset, clumsy, and shortleg- ged David Burliuk, putting his inseparable lorgnette to his eye, stood before his superb, rather Impressionist landscapes hung all over the walls of his stu- dio, and ... smirking, said that you won't get much glory or capital today by following classical traditions and serious painting, and that you have to stup- efy the bourgeoisie and the philistine with the cudgel of novelty." During the heyday of Russian Cubo-Futurism (ca. 1912-ca. 1916); Burliuk certainly wielded the cudgel of novelty and many were bruised by it. Perhaps that is one reason why people have tended to avoid direct confrontation with Bur- liuk and why, even today, he is known more as a barrack-room lawyer, a "hooligan of the palette,"2 rather than as an original painter and poet and an astute critic. No history of twentieth-century Russian culture can be written without substantial reference to the life and work of David Burliuk, and there is no question that the Russian avant-garde-the experimental movements in art and literature of the 1910s and 1920s-would have developed quite as dra- matically if Burliuk had not undertaken his many creative and organiza- tional activities. As his fellow Futurist, Vasilii Kamenskii, once said: "The name of David Burliuk was, and always is, an international name, like the sun in the heavens."3 Put more succinctly, he was, as Vasilii Kandinsky called 1.

  • Steppe Son: David Burliuk's Identity
    MYROSLAV SHKANDRIJ (Winnipeg, MB, Canada) STEPPE SON: DAVID BURLIUK'S IDENTITY Scholarship has recognized David Burliuk as the force behind Futurisrii's crystallization within the boundaries of the Russian Empire. It is generally accepted that he "largely gave Futurism its ideological orientation: to bring art and poetry to the streets and thus yoke art and life, to reject the art and po- etry of the past, to see art and poetry as an unending quest for novelty and the creation of new forms."' It is also agreed that he provided much of the orga- nizing drive behind the early Futurist movement in the Russian Empire, its landmark exhibitions, its publications and public engagements, and that he often supplied the "promotional" strategies that made it famous. Without him, Markov has written, there would have been no Futurism in the Russian Empire.2 Yet, he is perhaps the least researched and understood among the major figures of the twentieth-century avant-garde. Scholars have had rela- tively little to say about him as a writer or artist. Barooshian has written that "The sad irony of Burljuk's life is that he organized an avant-garde move- ment of the first magnitude while himself failed to achieve significant recog- nition."3 Bowlt has also commented that the artist "enjoys an uncertain posi- tion in our contemporary appreciation of the avant-garde. Little serious re- search has been undertaken on Burliuk's career, few publications have been devoted to him, and leading specialists in Russian Cubo-Futurism at best communicate equivocal opinions as to the artistic worth of Burliuk's out- put.

    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.
