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.

Arnold Mesches        USA        1923-2016

 

socially conscious painter

were recorded

by the F.B.I.

for his series

“The F.B.I. Files”

Walter Darby Bannard        USA        1934-2016

 

Walter Darby Bannard,

a Color Field painter

whose elegant, severe

abstract paintings

of the late 1950s

and early ’60s

were the springboard

for a lifetime’s exploration

of color, form

and the physicality of paint

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.

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

prominent Pop artist

best known

for modernizing

the classic female nude

into a flat, enigmatic,

billboard-friendly

silhouette

 

(...)

 

Along

with Andy Warhol,

Roy Lichtenstein,

Claes Oldenburg,

James Rosenquist

and Jim Dine,

Mr. Wesselmann

belonged to

a generation of artists

who gave

American art and culture

a new sense of itself.

 

They found inspiration,

source materials

and even working methods

in areas beyond art

- in advertising, movies,

food labels,

household appliances,

newspaper front pages

and in commercial

art techniques

like silkscreen,

Benday dots

and billboard painting.

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.

one of Britain’s

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.
