Mary Lee Abbott
USA 1921-2019
Mary Abbott (...)
was at the heart
of the Abstract
Expressionist
movement
in New York
in the 1940s and
’50s
but, like other
women
painting in that
genre,
received far less
recognition
than her male
counterparts
(...)
Ms. Abbott
painted bold,
colorful works,
often inspired
by nature or
music,
and traveled
in the same
circles
as Jackson
Pollock,
Willem de Kooning
and other artists
who were
redefining
painting
in the years
after World War
II.
De Kooning
in particular,
17 years her
senior,
became a friend,
lover and
protector,
including from
some
of the other male
artists.

Walter Darby
Bannard,

Marjorie Strider, Sly Pop Artist, Is Dead at 83
By RANDY KENNEDY NYT
SEPT. 5, 2014
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/07/arts/design/marjorie-strider-sly-pop-artist-is-dead-at-83.html
Pop artist who
slyly subverted
her male
counterparts’ takes
on consumerism and the female form,
creating images of
packages
that oozed their contents
and women whose
curves
jutted from the picture plane
(...)
Ms. Strider
was
among the first wave
of New York Pop artists
and was
included in
“The First International Girlie Show”
at the Pace
Gallery in 1964,
along with
several
soon-to-be stars
of the movement,
including Andy
Warhol,
Roy Lichtenstein
and Tom Wesselmann.
She said she
did not initially
think of her works as Pop,
but had grown
bored
in the 1950s making paintings
that were
perspectivally
flat and began adding things
like cardboard
and wood
to the surface
to make them
more sculptural.

James Rizzi
USA 1950-2011
The American pop artist
James Rizzi (...)
was no creative trailblazer,
but he achieved renown
for his linear,
childlike style,
vibrant colours
and zany
imagery.
His work was described
by the critic Glenn O'Brien
as a cross between Picasso
and Hanna-Barbera,
combined with an evocation
of Native American friezes.
Rizzi himself listed his idols
as Paul Klee, Jean Dubuffet,
Keith Haring, Andy Warhol
and Bugs Bunny.

Ronald George
Murray Bone 1950-2011
highly
accomplished artist
who was making
the transition
from serene interiors
to portraiture
when cancer intervened.
(...)
His
meticulous detail
earned him comparisons
to Andrew Wyeth,
but the quiet rooms
he loved to paint
were animated
by his lifelong curiosity.
He sought a way
to express stillness
and tranquillity on canvas,
an aim beyond
the technical challenges
that make some
of his paintings
similar to the virtuoso
still lifes
of 17th-century Dutch
vanitas artists.

David Whitaker
UK
1938-2007
The work
of David "Whit" Whitaker
is
instantly recognisable.
Using straight lines,
simple shapes
and a palette
of just seven colours
- two yellows,
cadmium red, magenta,
viridian and two blues -
he explored
a seemingly
unlimited range
of optical effects.
The resulting oils
and watercolour paintings
shimmer with colour
and
combinations of colour.
The effect
is almost hallucinatory,
forcing the viewer
to walk backwards
and
forwards,
or side to side,
to try and make sense
of what he is seeing.
Over the course
of Whitaker's career,
this near obsessive,
single-minded pursuit
amounted to
an astonishing
technical achievement.

Sol LeWitt
USA
1928-2007
Sol LeWitt ('s)
deceptively simple
geometric
sculptures and drawings
and ecstatically
colored
and jazzy wall paintings
established him
as
a lodestar
of modern American art
(...)
Mr. LeWitt
helped
establish
Conceptualism
and
Minimalism
as dominant
movements
of the postwar era.
A patron and
friend
of colleagues
young and old,
he was the
opposite
of the artist as celebrity.
He tried to
suppress
all interest in him
as opposed to his
work;
he turned down
awards
and was camera-shy
and reluctant to
grant
interviews.
He particularly
disliked the prospect
of having his
photograph
in the newspaper.

Norman
Edward Albert Adams 1927-2005
Norman Adams (...)
said it was his ambition
to paint
profoundly
religious pictures,
although he was
not
a churchgoer
and held no
particular
religious beliefs.
He called himself
"a sort of freelance agnostic",
yet there was
always
a spiritual intensity
underlying his
paintings
of the natural world,
as well as the
specifically
religious subjects.
Norman's work
continued
a rich tradition
of romantic visionary painting
more frequently
encountered
in Britain
than elsewhere.
There are close
links
between his output
and that of
earlier
English painters,
such as Blake and Turner.
As a young
painter,
Norman wanted to fuse
the qualities of
these
two great predecessors;
although he
recognised
that Blake never had
much feeling for paint,
he admired
"the
poetry
and political verse,
his intensity
and
his integrity".

Why Philip Guston Can Still
Provoke Such Furor, and Passion
Guston’s Ku Klux Klan paintings
are but one facet of an incendiary artist’s storied career,
stretching from social realism
to abstraction and back.

Marjorie Jewel "Marlow" Moss UK
1889-1958
one of Britain’s
most important
Constructivist artists
(...)
Prior to
the First
World War,
Moss produced
highly abstract
painted compositions
similar to the
work
of Mondrian,
with whom
she is
often associated
and who she was
close to
for much of her life.
Later,
her
practice developed
toward the production
of all-white
reliefs
and sculptural works.
Moss lived and
worked
between Paris and
Cornwall
for much of her life,
changing her name
and permanently adopting
a masculine
appearance
in 1919.
Moss finally
settled
in Lamorna Cove
in 1939.

George Caleb
Bingham USA
1811-1879
Bingham
made
his fame
largely through
painting images
describing American
civil virtues;
his most famous
paintings
include a series
on American electioneering
completed
before the Civil War
– “Stump Speaking,”
“The County
Election”
and “The Verdict of the People” –
which capture
the essence of democracy
in the first half
of the 19th century.
Although
some
commentators
have seen a
critique
of Jacksonian democracy
in Bingham’s
depiction
of drunken voters,
the art
historian Nancy Rash
argued that the election series
embodied
Bingham’s
commitment to democracy
as the supreme
expression
of the people’s will.
Even his
frontier scenes,
such as
“The Jolly Flatboatman”
and
“Fur
Traders
Descending the Missouri,”
which depict
life
on the Western rivers,
reflect his
Whig Party
political views.
(...)
Bingham was
also
a zealous Unionist.
Although his
family
had owned slaves
in Virginia and Missouri,
he considered
slavery
doomed.
But he had no
love
for the abolitionists either,
whom he
considered
as dangerous to the Union
as
the Southern fire-eaters.
His election
paintings
are dominated by whites
and show
African-Americans
only on the periphery,
working or
serving drinks
to the voters.

John Constable UK 1776 - 1837
Constable
is famous
for his landscapes,
which are mostly
of the Suffolk countryside,
where he was born and lived.
He made
many open-air sketches,
using these as a basis
for his large exhibition paintings,
which were worked up
in the studio.
His pictures
are extremely popular today,
but they were not
particularly well received
in England during his lifetime.
He did, however,
have considerable success
in Paris.

Richard Wilson 1713/14 - 1782
Wilson was a pioneer
of landscape painting
in Britain.
He visited
Italy and, in Rome,
met the French painter
Joseph Vernet,
who encouraged
his interest in landscape.
Like Vernet,
Wilson was deeply influenced
by the work of Claude
and Gaspard Dughet,
and he interpreted
the English and Welsh
landscapes
in their manner
after his return
to England.
Wilson is sometimes called
'The English Claude'.
Wilson was born in Wales,
moving in about 1729 to London,
where he trained
with Thomas Wright
as a portrait painter.

William Hogarth 1697-1764
William Hogarth
was an English artist,
satirist and social reformer.
His art was full of innovation.
Hogarth's work
is easily accessible
to modern audiences.
His paintings
and engravings
cover themes
like crime,
sex and political corruption.
His prints of Europe's
financial turmoil
during the 1720s
would not look out of place
as cartoons in today's
newspapers.

Samuel Cooper 1608 or 1609-1672
The greatest English
miniaturist
of the 17th century,
Cooper enjoyed
a prosperous career
and a European reputation
(he is said to have travelled
on the Continent
as a young man).
He worked for both sides
during the Civil War
and Commonwealth,
and his sitters
included
Oliver Cromwell
and Charles II.
His portraits
are almost always
of the bust only,
but within this limitation
his range is remarkable:
he presents each sitter
(man or woman)
with an individuality
of characterization
that can make
the life-size portraits
of contemporaries
such as Lely
appear doll-like,
and his vigorous
Baroque sense of design
marks a complete break
with the tradition of Hilliard
and Hoskins.
