View of the Beach at Beverly, Massachusetts by John Frederick Kensett, 1860, Santa Barbara Museum of Art (Santa Barbara, California)

#ArtHistory #Romanticism #Luminism

Kensett is known for pristinely beautiful seascapes like this one, in which nature as revealed by light emanates a spiritual quality. Kensett initially trained as an engraver and his eye for small detail is evident throughout this meticulously observed composition. Travel throughout Europe in the company of Asher B. Durand, among others associated with the Hudson River School, convinced him to commit to landscape painting. Unlike Thomas Cole, for example, he forewent the overt summoning of grand allegorical themes. Everything presented here is believably organic. If the driftwood in the foreground in the shape of a foreshortened cross alludes to the divine, it does so quietly. The complete suppression of visible brushwork, common to Luminist technique, suggests a transcendental, non-manmade source.

Today I took 8 Yr5&6 SEMH boys to do some #ArtHistory at Nottm Castle and they were wonderful 🥰 They went into the gallery clutching their print outs, remembered their research and connoisseurship from last week, asked questions, made suggestions and spent the best part of an hour with one painting.

David Bone — lovely 1913 oil-on-canvas sketch by Henry Scott Tuke. The intimate portrait showcases Tuke’s luminous coastal light and fluid brushwork, reflecting his Newlyn School maritime sensibility on the eve of WWI. View: buff.ly/r1SOJV9 #HenryScottTuke #ArtHistory

By African-American printmaker Raymond Steth (1917–1997), Evolution of Swing, 1939, lithograph, image: 12 11/16 x 16 3/4 in. (32.2 x 42.6 cm). #art #arthistory #BlackArt #BlackArtist #BlackHistory

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York: “Evolution of Swing illustrates the development of swing music from its origins in rural Africa, represented by the scene at lower right, through the enslavement of Africans by white Americans, to the urban centers of the twentieth century. The subject is representative of the centrality of black American history and culture in Steth’s work. He took cues from the three primary leaders of the Mexican muralism movement—his contemporaries José Clemente Orozco, Diego Rivera, and David Alfaro Siqueiros—in producing a flowing, allover composition that conveys an intelligible narrative. The print is based on a drawing that Steth used in his application to the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal program that financially supported unemployed artists. He was placed in the Graphics Division of the Federal Art Project in Philadelphia, where he worked for a little over two years and developed the drawing into a lithograph.”

A restless mind is a gift. Do not try to settle it. Channel it. Give it work worthy of its appetite.

September's theme: Labor
EDWARD HOPPER (1882 - 1967), “Office in a Small City”, 1953. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City US.
Hopper was a slow and methodical painter and “Office in a Small City” was the only painting that he produced in 1953.
#arthistory #art #labor #EdwardHopper

Hopper was a slow and methodical painter and “Office in a Small City” was the only painting that he produced in 1953. He began this work in Truro, Massachusetts, where he and his wife Jo spent their summers for decades, and finished it later after returning to New York City. His study of and fascination with light resulted in the clear colors that are typical of a Hopper artwork. The scene of a solitary figure, glimpsed through a side window of a corner office, invites the viewer to create his/her own narrative for what is going on. The figure is high up in an office building, unaware that he is being watched; “Office in a Small City” has a touch of voyeurism delivered with Hopper’s Realist style. Hopper composed several paintings of people he spotted in buildings while riding the elevated train through New York City; this one has that feel to it. In the 1950s, New York City was bustling and growing at a very fast pace but Hopper has captured a quiet moment with one isolated man; the cityscape beyond his office does not appear particularly busy. Hopper was the master of loneliness coupled with beauty in his scenes. And, always, that crystal clear light is the star.

Le Guerrier, Figure I from Hector and Andromeda by Giorgio de Chirico, c. 1945-1948, Legion of Honor (San Francisco, CA)

#ArtHistory #ModernArt #Surrealism #MetaphysicalArt

De Chirico often portrayed classical heroes and warriors as faceless, mannequin-like figures constructed from geometric shapes, architectural elements, and metal plates. The subject connects to classical Greek mythology and Homer’s Iliad, specifically the figures of Hector and his wife Andromache.

Artistic touchstones tend toward cult figures like Forrest Bess or Antonin Artaud, and recurring subjects include Greek sculpture, butoh dance-theater, OnlyFans, and celebrity crushes.

Over three decades, Richard Hawkins has developed a body of work that turns on the erotics of visibility, fueled by what he calls “a combination of historical research and boyish obsessions.”
