THE MISSING LINK

The Missing Link

Sue Fuller, Cacophony, 1944, first state 

 

Sue Fuller, Cacophony, 1944, first state

At the Innovation and Abstraction: Women Artists and Atelier 17 exhibition, Fuller’s Collage, 1944, and final state of Cacophony are both on view. Missing is the first state clearly showing that the collage was used through soft-ground to help etch those vegetable-bag strings into the copper plate. Many steps later the final state has lace and net and all sorts of things giving a rich and intricate surround for the figures.

To see Collage and the final state of Cacophony go to the Gallery site via this link:

WOMEN OF ATELIER 17, NEW YORK

-->

Innovation and Abstraction: Women Artists and Atelier 17 is now on view at the Pollock-Krasner House, The Springs, East Hampton, NY, through October 29, 2016.

 

Minna Citron, Ishtar, 1946, on loan for exhibition.

The curator, Dr. Christina Weyl, selected eight artists to feature from the more than ninety women who worked at the New York facility between 1940 and 1955. For each she selected intaglio prints indicative of their Atelier experience as well as an additional piece in another medium: paintings for MINNA CITRON and ALICE TRUMBULL MASON, string construction for SUE FULLER, sculptures for WORDEN DAY and DOROTHY DEHNER, and woodcut and collage for ANNE RYAN. Works by Louise Bourgeois and Louise Nevelson are also included.

Stanley William Hayter's Laocoön, 1943

The story of Laocoön was told by Sophocles and others though details vary enormously. The most famous is from Virgil’s Aeneid in which Laocoön was a priest of Poseidon (Neptune for the Romans) who was killed with his sons by sea serpents after attempting to expose the true nature of the Trojan Horse by striking it with a spear. (And so we are warned to fear Greeks who bear gifts.)

The most well known image of Laocoön and His Sons is the first century sculpture associated with Agesander, Athenodorus, and Polydorus, made in the Hellenistic baroque manner. It is now in the Vatican. However there are numerous other interpretations and this may in fact be a marble copy of an earlier bronze.

In the Dadaglobe Roconstructed show at the Museum of Modern Art there’s a small gelatin silver print of Jean Arp’s Laocoön, made about 1930. His inspiration was an illustration of the intestine of a dog, preserved in alcohol. It resembled his own abstract drawings. (Here’s my photo of that photo.)

Silver print of Jean Art's, Laocoön, 1920,
original photographer unknown.

Stanley William Hayter tackled the subject while in New York City during World War II. One of his most admired images, Laocoön, 1943, captures a chaotic moment in history enriched by Hayter’s technical heroics.

Art for Every Home, LAST DAY

July 9, 2016

LAST DAY!

Art for Every Home: Associated American Artists, 1934-2000, at the Grey Art Gallery of NYU, ends today, Saturday, July 9. The catalogue and exhibition were about fifteen years in coming so it’s especially hard to see the show close in NYC.

New: Lithographs by ZYGMUND JANKOWSKI

-->

Zygmund Jankowski (1925-2009) is known for his modernist compositions, highly original sense of color, and effective use of  “the white of the paper.” He was born in South Bend, Indiana. After serving in the US Navy Jankowski attended the California College of Arts and Crafts, where studied with, Victor DeWilde, Otis Oldfield, and George Post.

 

Zygmund Jankowski, My Garden, 1961, lithograph

Returning to the mid-west he taught at Indiana University, South Western Michigan College, Hilton Leech School of Art, the Bremen Art Center, the Niles Art Center, the South Bend Art Association, and the Rockport Art Association.

Beginning in 1964 he summered in Rocky Neck, MA, and opened a summertime gallery. In the 1970s he made a permanent move to Gloucester where he held workshops at his studio. In the 1990s he moved to Lanesville. Among those institutions with work by Jankowski is the Cape Ann Museum. In their biography of the artist they acknowledge his role of inspiring a generation of Cape Ann artists.

Zygmund Jankowski was featured in 40 Watercolorists and How They Work by Susan E. Meyer, Watson-Guptill Publications, 1978.
