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. -

Not for the Uncommitted: the Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 By
Not for the Uncommitted: The Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 By Emily D. Markert Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts in Curatorial Practice California College of the Arts April 22, 2021 Not for the Uncommitted: The Alliance of Figurative Artists, 1969–1975 Emily Markert California College of the Arts 2021 From 1969 through the early 1980s, hundreds of working artists gathered on Manhattan’s Lower East Side every Friday at meetings of the Alliance of Figurative Artists. The art historical canon overlooks figurative art from this period by focusing on a linear progression of modernism towards medium specificity. However, figurative painters persisted on the periphery of the New York art world. The size and scope of the Alliance and the interests of the artists involved expose the popular narrative of these generative decades in American art history to be a partial one promulgated by a few powerful art critics and curators. This exploration of the early years of the Alliance is divided into three parts: examining the group’s structure and the varied yet cohesive interests of eleven key artists; situating the Alliance within the contemporary New York arts landscape; and highlighting the contributions women artists made to the Alliance. Keywords: Post-war American art, figurative painting, realism, artist-run galleries, exhibitions history, feminist art history, second-wave feminism Acknowledgments and Dedication I would foremost like to thank the members of my thesis committee for their support and guidance. I am grateful to Jez Flores-García, my thesis advisor, for encouraging rigorous and thoughtful research and for always making time to discuss my ideas and questions. -

At 92, Boghosian's New Work Has Many Inspirations
8/18/2018 At 92, Boghosian's new work has many inspirations Entertainment & Life At 92, Boghosian’s new work has many inspirations By Debbie Forman / Contributing Writer Posted Aug 16, 2018 at 6:00 AM Artist Varujan Boghosian, 92, says he’s never done better work in his life. Varujan Boghosian doesn’t look 92. He describes himself as “great,” saying, “I’m 92 and still going strong. And I’ve never done better work in my life.” New Boghosian work will be on exhibit Aug. 10-26 at the Berta Walker Gallery in Provincetown in a show appropriately titled “Poetic Worlds.” (A group show, the paintings of Paul Resika and the pastels of Judyth Katz also will be on view.) Boghosian is a visual poet whose work has references to literature and art. Poetry, Dada and surrealist art influence his work. He has recently been inspired by the imagery of artists as different as Salvador Dali, Andrew Wyeth and Hieronymus Bosch. Writers James Joyce, A. E. Housman and Emily Dickinson, and artists Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray have also moved him. Also Greek myths. “And Etruscan tomb paintings,” he adds. “I’m all over the map.” Wearing khaki shorts, a pink shirt over a white T-shirt and a Harley-Davidson cap, Boghosian is delighted to talk about his art while we chat at Walker’s Wellfleet gallery. He is still as vital, as witty as when I first met him in 1994 when he was preparing for a show at Long Point Gallery in Provincetown. On that summer day, he had time on his mind. -

In Celebration of the Rizzoli Monograph Paul Resika: Eight
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Paul Resika: Eight Decades of Painting In Celebration of the Rizzoli Monograph September 24 – October 24, 2020 Bookstein Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Paul Resika. This is the artist’s eleventh show with Bookstein Projects. This past May, Rizzoli Electa published an expansive tome on the career of Paul Resika entitled, Paul Resika: Eight Decades of Painting. Edited by Blair Resika, the lavishly illustrated monograph includes over 220 color reproductions of paintings from the 1940s to the present. It also includes four scholarly essays by Avis Berman, Jennifer Samet, Karen Wilkin and John Yau. In celebration of this spectacular new monograph, the gallery is delighted to mount an exhibition by the same name. The show will include an example from each decade of the artist’s oeuvre with the earliest painting, Studio (Stars and Easel), dated 1947. The most recent painting, Self-Portrait in the Manner of Tintoretto was painted in 2018 and is hung next to another striking self-portrait of the artist painted some sixty years prior when the artist was only thirty. Taken as a whole, this exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see the breadth of the artist’s entire career, which is expanded upon in detail in his new monograph. Discounted copies of Paul Resika: Eight Decades of Painting will be available for purchase at the gallery. Bookstein Projects is also pleased to announce that the Center for Figurative Painting will mount an exhibition of Paul Resika’s latest body of work this spring. The series, entitled Allegory (San Nicola di Bari), derives from an obscure engraving made of a panel from an altarpiece predella (ca.
