Metropolitan Useum Of THE ETROPOLITAN NEWS USEUM OF ART FOR Tuesday, March 21, 1950 M RELEASE FIFTH AYE.at82 STREET • NEW YORK 3 PAINTINGS AND 9 DRAWINGS BY BOARDMAN ROBINSON PRESENTED TO METROPOLITAN MUSEUM Three paintings and nine drawings by Boardman Robinson, well-known contempo­ rary American artist, have been presented to The Metropolitan Museum of Art by a group of 154 of his fellow artists. The gift was announced yesterday by Roland L. Redmond, President of the Museum, following the regular March meeting of the board of trustees. Accompanying the gift was a scroll bearing the names of the donors which stated that the works by Robinson were being given to the Museum as "a gesture of the deep affection and high esteem we hold in our hearts for our dear colleague whose spirit­ ual, aesthetic and social contributions to American Art are invaluable." John Sloan, who has been chosen by the American Academy of Arts and Letters to receive its gold medal for painting this year and who is a life-long friend of Mr. Robinson, said in a statement especially prepared for the occasion that "it is surely appropriate that examples of Robinson's work should be presented to the Metropolitan Museum through the means of a fund contributed by 154 American artists. As a draftsman and teacher, Robinson's influence reached many more than those who actually attended his classes. "Robinson was always an independent searching for his own way to graphic ex­ pression and learning from such varied sources as the Italian primitives and the French moderns^" Mr. Sloan continued. "He belongs to the tradition of graphic real­ ists stemming back to Steinlen, Daumier, Goya, Rembrandt. His best paintings have power because of this significant drawing and concern for the essential living character of the real world." Mr. Sloan added that he was confident that "when the fads of the moment have passed, the honest strong work of the imaginative realists like Robinson will be held in real esteem and take an important position in the history of American art." Of the three paintings by Robinson in the Metropolitan gift, one in oil and two in tempera, the oil, Mount Yale, is the most recent work. It was painted in 1944. The other two paintings, as well as seven of the drawings, are originals of illustrations that the artist made for classics of American and European literature. The tempera paintings are Zilpha Marah, from "Spoon River Anthology" (1942), and Caught in the Line, from "Moby Dick" (1943). The drawings include all six used as illustrations in a 1939 edition of "King Lear," and one — Nastasya Bums the Money -- which was done for a 1935 edition of Dostoevski's "The Idiot." (more) Boardman Robinson — 2 The two other drawings are Civil Prisoners, done in 1915 when Robinson was a European correspondent for Metropolitan Magazine during the first World War, and Return from Moscow, executed in 1920. Born in Nova Scotia in 1876, Boardman Robinson has had a successful career as an illustrator, muralist, painter, cartoonist and teacher. His art training began under E. Wilbur Dean Hamilton at the Massachusetts Normal Art School in Boston and continued in Paris at the Acade'mie Colarossi, the Acade'mie Julien and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Upon completion of his studies in France, Mr. Robinson returned to the United States where he became well known as a newspaper and magazine illustrator in New York. He was an instructor in The Art Students League of New York from 1918 to 1929. He became director of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center in 1930, a post which he held until 1947.

  • Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years
    Henry Varnum Poor: Commemorating 125 Years by Ron Michael, Curator, Birger Sandzén Memorial Gallery Extended Essay - August 2012 Seeking Beauty Henry Varnum Poor is an important name not only for those interested in the history of Kansas or American art, but for Angular detail of Self Portrait, circa those who celebrate bountiful lives. Determined to follow his own 1917, lithograph, size unknown. path, he was committed to a life based on unadorned pursuits and a constant search for beauty. He once wrote to friend and fellow artist Birger Sandzén, “I want to make beautiful things so as to make our living as beautiful as possible.”1 Developing and using his multi-faceted talents, he also lived a life of great variety. At various times in his life he combined one or more professions as an artist, craftsman, builder, writer, teacher, organizer, administrator, evaluator and more. He was the perennial “jack-of-all-trades,” or perhaps more appropriately, a “renaissance man.” Just within the arts he explored a vast array of differing media – oils, watercolors, ceramics, pastels, drawings, frescos, etchings, lithography, woodworking, textiles, and illustration. He seemed to turn everything he touched into art. Perhaps nowhere is this better evident than the house he designed and constructed near New City, New York. Dubbed Crow House it was conceived as a place of comfort for his family – away from, but still accessible to, the bustling metropolis of New York and other Eastern cities. As he continued to write in his letter to Birger Sandzén, “The joy and satisfaction in making the house has been tremendous, and the future work of carving and painting our huge beams and stones will be great.

In many ways, this past year will be remembered as one of extreme high and lows. Amid a five- month closure due to COVID-19, we came together as a Museum, conceiving new accessible online programs, art activities, and community outreach initiatives on a scale that we had never seen before. We also witnessed the nation face a reckoning in race relations, and in an effort to counter systematic racism in the art world, we at the NBMAA strengthened our commitment to expanding the dialog of equity, diversity, and inclusion that we activated years ago. Additionally, in 2020, exactly a century after the Women’s Suffrage Movement celebrated its landmark victory, the New Britain Museum of American Art is proud to recognize the extraordinary achievement of women artists through the 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA initiative. An ambitious year- long series of groundbreaking exhibitions devoted exclusively to female-identifying artists, 2020/20+ Women @ NBMAA serves as just one part of our larger commitment to representing the ever-broadening scope of American art—a commitment that we will continue to strive towards, long into the future.

  • KINDRED SPIRITS: George Bellows and Friends in Woodstock
    GALLERY GUIDE KINDRED SPIRITS: George Bellows and Friends in Woodstock June 26 – August 8 August 25 – September 12, 2004 SAMUEL DORSKY MUSEUM OF ART KINDRED SPIRITS: George Bellows and Friends in Woodstock The quest for an idyllic setting where one might pursue one’s creative passions, surrounded by natural beauty and unfettered by the day-to-day distractions of conventional life, emerged as a phenomenon in the United States during the latter part of 19th century and early part of the 20th century. By the mid-1920s it had reached its apex, and significant art colonies existed in Rockport and Provincetown, Massachusetts; Taos, New Mexico; Old Lyme, Connecticut; New Hope, Pennsylvania; and locally in Cragsmoor and Woodstock, New York. The art colony in Woodstock evolved from an experiment championed and funded by the utopian Englishman, Ralph Whitehead. He and “kindred spirits” Hervey White of Chicago and Bolton Brown, a native New Yorker, then teaching art at Stanford University, founded the Byrdcliffe Art Colony on Overlook Mountain in 1902. Byrdcliffe was an arts-and-crafts-based colony designed to foster individual creativity through self-sufficiency. During its brief existence, it was a center for fine furniture-making, ceramics, metalwork, and painting. The community attracted creative people who traveled to Woodstock from locations near and far, and it was indeed Byrdcliffe that served as the magnet. Here the seeds were planted that spawned the enduring Woodstock art colony that survives to this day. Kindred Spirits: George Bellows and his Friends in Woodstock, takes us back to Woodstock in the early 1920s and examines the work of a small circle of friends (in essence a microcosm of the creative life found in the colony).
