Howard Daum, Face and Hand, 1946, 4 x 6 inches

CALIFORNIA REVIEW, January 2016

-->

Los Angeles in January was as terrific as ever – OK a little cool and some much-needed rain – but still GREAT. At LACMA it was just lovely to see the Frank Gehry show (there’s never enough time!) and find the William Baziotes painting, Congo, 1954. 

William Baziotes, Congo, 1954

First there was the Los Angeles Fine Print Fair at Bonhams on Sunset Boulevard and then the Los Angeles Art Show at the Convention Center.

Fortunately we were able to start hanging at Bonhams on Thursday because we had much too much to install if everything had to be done on Friday, the day of the reception. The dark walls made everything look different I think. In particular colors looked brighter against the charcoal gray and subtleties of the Atelier 17 intaglio techniques showed up very well. The Howard Daum three-state set of Combat, 1947, was well received as were the Will Barnets, Peter Grippes, and Anne Ryans.

Peter Grippe, Battle of the Centaurs, 1953

At the Convention Center of course the Baziotes surrealist wall, this time with a drawing by his pal Jackson Pollock, Mexican Bandits, 1939, was a more or less constant draw. Completely on the other side of the coin (and booth), the Peggy Bacons were popular. The main painting wall featured, from left to right, Howard Daum, Anne Ryan, Mary Sinclair, Hugh Mesibov, native Californian Claire Mahl Moore with Big Sur, 1960, a Baziotes pictograph painting, Young Clown, 1943, and Bernard Rosenquit.

Happy Birthday Hugh Mesibov!

-->

On December 29, 2015, Hugh Mesibov turns 99.

From 1937 to 1941 Mesibov worked on the painting, mural, and printmaking sections of the Philadelphia Works Progress Administration. In 1941 Mesibov made the mural Steel Industry, for the Post Office, Hubbard, Ohio, under the US Treasury Department. While on the printmaking division of the WPA he was instrumental in developing the carborundum mezzotint technique (with Michael J. Gallagher and Dox Thrash), and the subsequent innovation of color carborundum printmaking. His drypoint, Pieta, 1937, was shown at the New York World's Fair, 1939. Mesibov's work from this period reflects social issues of the day and is drawn in a lively and bold style influenced by the modernist works he knew from the Barnes. In 1940 he had his first one-man show, at the Carlin Gallery, Philadelphia. 

The Wartime Shipyard, Surrealist Works of 1942/45, Paintings and Drawings, was on view at the Gallery May 1 – 22, 2010. During World War II Mesibov was a First Class Ship Fitter at the historic William Cramp & Son Shipbuilding Company in Philadelphia. That day-to-day experience, combined with horrific wartime news, resulted in a body surrealist works depicting dangerous post-industrial wastelands. A work by Mesibov from this period was included in Surrealism USA, at the National Academy of Design Museum, NY, 2005.

In 2008 work by Mesibov was included in the landmark exhibition, The American Scene, at the British Museum. In 2012 it was shown in America @ Work, at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum, Connecticut College, New London, and this past summer, 2015, in WPA*Jobs, at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Norwalk, Connecticut.
