Have you ever had the experience of picking out an article of clothing in a store and bringing it home, only to find out that it wasn’t the color you thought it was? This is often the result of the effect of different kinds of lighting on our perception of color. Josef Albers spent thirty years studying how our sense of color is influenced and sometimes tricked. As Albers said in his book, Interaction of Color, “color deceives continually.” His Homage to the Square series is an elegant exploration of the way people perceive colors differently depending on the colors nearby.
If the same yellow square in the center of this painting were surrounded by a dark red color, do you think the yellow square would appear lighter or darker than it does in this painting?

Nearly 40 years after it entered MAG’s collection, Daniel Allen’s tiny painting was re-discovered by an intern updating records for the museum website. Its quirky sense of humor and mysterious narrative caught her eye. Intern Sarah Gerin says: “Sunny Ducks’ intrigue lies in its ambiguity. It is kind and comforting, yet still forlorn and remote. In the painting, there is no context for what interaction is taking place, where it is taking place, or even its significance. With its enigmatic imagery and striking sense of both kindness and solitude, this scene reveals a clever and playful approach to the universal themes of isolation, alienation, and human relationships.”

Watercolor
Rochester artist Ralph Avery juxtaposed the World Trade Center with Trinity Church in a colorful scene painted shortly after the towers were completed in 1973. In reality, the church, a symbol of old New York (it was founded in 1696), is dwarfed by neighboring skyscrapers, but from Avery’s vantage point, the cross-topped steeple competes with the surrounding buildings for the highest point in the scene. Perhaps Avery was inserting his own point of view about the competing roles of God and Mammon in that Wall Street neighborhood. As an illustrator for magazines that were bastions of middle-class, conservative values – Saturday Evening Post and Reader’s Digest — Avery may have been expressing the publisher’s values as well.

Influenced by the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Bearden was friendly with the writer Langston Hughes and jazz musicians Duke Ellington and Fats Waller. He was fascinated by jazz, trying his hand at songwriting for a short time. Bearden’s work bears parallels to the rhythms, intervals, variations, and improvisational devices of music. He stated, “I paint out of the tradition of the blues.”
Bearden was a pioneer of the collage style, explaining “The medium I used was chosen intentionally because assemblage forges a variety of contrary images into one unified expression.”
Bearden was a founding member of the 1960s Harlem art group, Spiral, formed “for the purpose of discussing the commitment of the Negro artist in the present struggle for civil liberties.”

Painting
With his unflinching paintings of brutal boxing matches and urban tenements, George Bellows made a name for himself in the early years of the century as a central Urban Realist artist. In this later painting, "Autumn Brook," the modernist influence of expressive color, space and line is visible in Bellows’ lyrical painting of the countryside near his summer home in Woodstock, NY.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
"Autumn Brook" contains the archetypal elements present in Bellows's finest Woodstock landscapes, including water, rolling hills, mountains, animal life, vegetation, and a dramatic sky. Bellows's choice of vivid colors celebrates the magnificence of nature and the artist's joy at finding himself immersed in it. The active brush strokes prove his ability to paint with a controlled sense of abandon.

This painting portrays the artist with his wife, Emma, and daughter, Anne, on vacation on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine. Two neighbor children occupy the right side of the canvas.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
In the summer of 1914, painter George Bellows convinced his wife, Emma, to travel to Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine along with their young daughter, Anne. There, he hoped to paint more of the stunning seascapes he had worked on so successfully in past years. Evening Group depicts Emma and Anne on the left, the artist in the middle, and two neighbor children on the right.
Based in New York City during much of the year, Bellows found that the harsh beauty of places like Monhegan Island provided him with subjects that contrasted dramatically with his acclaimed urban scenes. He first visited the island in 1911 in the company of his teacher and mentor, Robert Henri, and wrote enthusiastically to Emma: “The Island is only a mile wide and two miles long, but it looks as large as the Rocky Mountains. It’s three times as high as Montauk [Long Island] and all black and grey rock. Beautiful pine forests and wonderful varieties of all kinds…” In another letter, he lamented “my head is full of millions of great pictures which I will never have time to paint.”

Early in his career, Thomas Hart Benton was involved in the American abstract movement, Synchromism. In the 1920s, Benton embarked on a style that incorporated Synchromist rhythmic line and expressive color with representational imagery of rural America. With this major shift in style, Benton established the Regionalist movement. Many consider Boomtown to be the artist’s first Regionalist masterpiece.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Boomtown is one of the masterpieces of the Gallery's collection because of its impressive and unique depiction of an American landscape. When Thomas Hart Benton sketched this panoramic scene from a second floor window, the smoky fire on the horizon signified progress, not pollution. Borger, Texas was a boomtown that sprang to life in 1926 after a refinery company hit a gusher that produced 5000 gallons of oil a day.
Benton is one of the three major American Regionalists (the other two are Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry), so called because most of their subjects were about life in the rural heartland of America.
While Benton was not a fan of contemporary modernist painting, and in fact disdained artists who painted in the abstract style, he couldn't help but be influenced by the curvy and streamlined aesthetic of his times and the way in which artists were reinterpreting three-dimensional space. Consider the way in which the people, buildings and landscape are layered from top to bottom on the canvas, rather than being laid out carefully from front to back in the manner of traditional artistic renderings.

Bouguereau's idealized figures, with their realistically-rendered surfaces and painstaking level of finish, show a technical mastery that still astonishes. Here the fluid fabrics of the priestess's garments and the drapery behind her contrast sharply with her pale flesh and the stone mosaic of the floor. The lack of context invites viewers to provide the figure with a narrative. This painting, completed when the artist was almost 80, demonstrates a return to the themes of classical antiquity that had been mainstays of his youthful work.
Bouguereau had a typical Academic education: he studied anatomy, classical literature and archaeology along with drawing and painting, and spent a year in Rome where he took inspiration from Renaissance artists. A member of the Academy throughout his career, his paintings were regularly included in the annual Salon exhibitions.

Bragdon’s Mathematical Abstractions is a set of images based on mathematical relationships and suggestive of cosmic forms in the solar system. This series grew out of Bragdon’s continued interest in uniting color, form, and music.
The series was exhibited in 1941-42 in Hartford, New York City, and finally in Rochester at the Memorial Art Gallery, where Bragdon’s patrons, Dr. and Mrs. James Sibley Watson, agreed to purchase this one for MAG. Bragdon wrote about the gift to Isabel Herdle, MAG curator, in 1944: “It is the one which your sister [Gertrude Herdle Moore, MAG director] and Fritz [Trautmann] decided would be best and which was also settled upon by Mrs. Watson and myself.”
The Mathematical Abstraction series was best described by the artist in the 1941-42 exhibition brochure:
"These fifteen water-color paintings represent the final distillation of Mr. Bragdon’s creative ability in a field which he has made his own. Although susceptible of classification as non-representational, or non-objective art, they are unique by reason of the fact that Mr. Bragdon is a skilled mathematician and geometer as well as an artist. He does not wish these paintings to be viewed, however, from any other standpoint than that of their intrinsic beauty—their purely aesthetic appeal. He believes that mathematical truth is at the root of all beauty, and that in the same sense that music may be said to be the beauty of mathematics made audible, so are these paintings mathematics made visible. After having made many hundred drawings, Mr. Bragdon made the paintings here and now exhibited, which from one point of view might be regarded as so many 'stills' of color symphonies seen by the author 'in his mind’s eye.'
One of the pioneers in the new art of Color Music, Mr. Bragdon has from far back employed his spare time and his spare money in the construction of one “color-organ” after another, in which it was his idea to add luminosity, color, rhythm, mobility, to his designs derived from mathematical sources. Convinced, after many failures, that the most satisfactory way in which this might be accomplished was by the animated cartoon technique, he made a study of it with this in view, and tried to interest the moving picture people in his idea. None of them were prepared, however, to invest the necessary amount of money in what they regarded as an uncertain venture. Walt Disney, meantime, a free agent, with the means at his disposal, had gone ahead and in certain parts of “Fantasia”—notably in the “sound-track” sequence—approximated some of the color-music effects which Mr. Bragdon had had in mind."

Colin Campbell Cooper wrote an essay in 1911 where he recommended his wife’s home town of Rochester as a subject for artists: “Rochester is filled with subjects which need no other idealization to make beautiful than an eye receptive to the glory of light and color and the ability to register these things on canvas.” Here, the artist’s receptive eye captured from a northeast angle downtown’s Main Street Bridge in contrasting colors of warm brick and the cool water. The shops and offices on the Main Street Bridge over the Genesee River illustrate Rochester’s commercial boom in this era, where every inch of space was needed to support the businesses of the central city.

Charles Cottet was particularly well known for his landscapes and stormy seascapes of Brittany, where he spent several months a year. The dark tones and strong values of his work belong to the tradition of Realism, an artistic movement that emphasized objective representations of the world based on the impartial observation of contemporary life. He studied and exhibited with artists such as Edouard Vuillard.

Painting
Ralston Crawford’s strong linear style and simplified form and palette in Whitestone Bridge are representative of the modern Precisionist style. Precisionist artists celebrated industrialization and technology with a visual language that evoked the purity and perfection of the machine.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
The Whitestone Bridge, linking The Bronx and Queens, was opened in 1939 just in time for the New York World's Fair. The suspension bridge routed travelers coming to the Fair from Upstate and New England away from the congestion of New York City. At the same time, Crawford was moving away from painting traditional landscapes and searching for a vocabulary that was closer in spirit to the streamlined, industrial aesthetic that he was observing in the world around him. The Whitestone Bridge was an excellent match for his artistic aspirations.
The sleek and futuristic lines of the Whitestone Bridge matched the Trylon and Perisphere logo of the World's Fair, which was intended to signify progress and the World of Tomorrow. By 1944, when this painting was acquired by the Encyclopedia Britannica Collection, the sleek and elegant Whitestone Bridge had become an icon of contemporary design.
The curator traveled to New York City to determine whether the bridge really looks as though it extends back into space with no land visible on the other side. And, in fact, Crawford's thrilling vantage point can be experienced by taking the bus across the bridge - for a brief instant, the first-time crosser experiences the view that Crawford recorded: a slim line of road, held up by wires, sailing across the water with no end in sight.

Kathleen McEnery’s early training as an Urban Realist drew her to depict reality with an uncompromising eye. The artist was about twenty-two years old and living in Paris when she painted this bold and modern woman. McEnery lived in New York, Madrid, and Paris before she moved to Rochester, NY in 1914.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Kathleen McEnery was about twenty-two years old and living in Paris when she painted Woman in an Ermine Collar. She lived and trained in New York, Madrid, and Paris before moving to Rochester in 1914. McEnery played a major role in Rochester’s cultural circles, and painted throughout her life while raising a family with her husband, Francis Cunningham of the Cunningham Car Company.
McEnery’s training with the American realist master Robert Henri drew her to depict with honesty the conditions of modern life. The result is this woman’s unapologetic presence. She is an embodiment of the New Woman – a cultural phenomenon of the growing women’s rights movement, of which the artist was an ardent supporter. The New Woman rebelled against traditional gender roles and was independent, confident, and physically active. As this woman’s dashing manner illustrates, she was equally as comfortable in the public domain as would be any man.
[Gallery label text, 2006]
In New York City, Kathleen McEnery studied with Robert Henri. She also studied abroad and exhibited two paintings at the controversial 1913 Armory Show in New York City. After her marriage to Rochesterian Francis Cunningham, whose family owned the Cunningham Carriage Factory, she continued painting in a studio off the family's home on 10 South Goodman St., now on the campus of the Rochester Museum and Science Center. As Mrs. Cunningham, she was a member of the Gallery's Board of Managers from 1927 through 1971.
The model's direct and intelligent expression and forthright pose suggests the "new woman," ready to be a participant in contemporary society rather than remain at home. Certainly, McEnery herself, who had graduated from Pratt Institute and lived on her own in New York City, fit that description as well.

Painting
Stuart Davis began as a student of the Urban Realist style, but upon seeing the many European modernist works on display at the New York Armory Show of 1913, the artist found his passion for abstraction. The influence of the broken-up and flattened surfaces of Cubism and the syncopated rhythms of American jazz contributed to Davis’ personal style.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Gloucester, one of Massachusetts's oldest seaports, was a summer home for painter Stuart Davis from the time he was a young man of twenty-two. This view of the harbor clearly captivated him by the early 1930s, and preliminary studies of this painting reveal how carefully he considered the scene and translated it into paint, all the while deliberately conveying a sense of simplicity and speed in its execution.
After a Parisian stay in the late 1920s, Davis returned to the United States with a new way of seeing things. The goal for him was to paint an expressive, abstracted version of the world around him, rather than a photographic simulacrum. As modernism challenged the nature of reality and how it is perceived, Davis reminds us here that it is possible to see two sides of a building at once, and that often it really looks like only half of a ship is in the water even though our brains convince us that the other half is hidden behind the fish warehouse. Flatness and simplification of forms were characteristics that distinguished work of influential European painters like Picasso and Matisse, whose work Davis would have encountered during his stay in France.

Charles Demuth’s most famous paintings are in a hard-lined and tightly-controlled industrial style called Precisionism, which he helped develop, but his watercolors of people, fruit, and flowers are loose, sensuous, and evocative. This casual study of a woman in a studio at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art was made when Demuth was a student there. Based upon a somewhat illegible inscription on the back, this figure may be Helen Torr, a modernist artist who ran in the same circles as Demuth and eventually married the artist Arthur Dove.

Painting
Around the same time that Thomas Dewing painted this portrait of a young woman reading a book, American art critic Charles Caffin wrote about Dewing's work:
"Generations of repressed emotion have made [Dewing's women] incapable of passion; strenuousness survives only in supersensitive nerves; their sole religion is the worship of self…They are motionless in an atmosphere from which all human warmth has been sucked, in a vacuum drained of intellectual and emotional nourishment. These bodily shapes are not of flesh and blood; they are the essence distilled from the withering of what is womanly, the mere fragrance of dead rose-leaves."
Thomas Dewing's depictions of genteel, ethereal young women engaged in contemplative and artistic pursuits stand in contrast to the bold and vigorous "New Woman," the feminist model of woman who emerged during this same period. The "New Woman" earned a living and wanted the vote and was not content to be marginalized in gauzy environments like the ones created by Dewing.
This painting is in its original frame, which is similar to those designed by Stanford White, who created opulent and decorative environments for many of Dewing's Gilded Age patrons.

Painter Mary Lou Dooley is the wife of MAG’s fifth director, Bret Waller, so it seems especially appropriate that one of her canvases was purchased to honor his service to the museum. In describing Silver Surge, she says: “It is a gestural painting related to my interest in calligraphy and movement. It also relates to the influence of two former professors who studied with Hans Hofmann. My intent is to achieve what appears to be a spontaneous result even though the painting has been reworked a number of times.”

American art, George Eastman Collection, paintings, seascapes
Painting
In 1915, Memorial Art Gallery mounted an exhibition of seascapes by a leading American marine painter of the time, Paul Dougherty. After the show was already open to the public, the artist sent an additional canvas, Coast of Cornwall, Near St. Ives, which he considered his best work to date. George Eastman had expressed interest in purchasing a Dougherty for the MAG collection. This painting was a top contender but several members of the Art Committee requested director George Herdle to ask the artist to rework the foreground. Reluctantly, Herdle complied and the mystified Dougherty politely asked him exactly what he would like done. In the meantime, Herdle sought the opinion of painter Elmer Schofield, who “thought the criticism not well made.” The director quickly assured Dougherty that all was well, overrode the Committee’s objections, and acquired this painting with funds donated by Eastman.

Painting
Painted in Geneva, NY, Cars in a Sleet Storm is representative of Arthur Dove’s personalized abstract vocabulary with which he responded to the world around him. Dove, along with Georgia O’Keeffe and Marsden Hartley, were members of a group of modernist American artists championed by the photographer Alfred Stieglitz in his 291 Gallery in Manhattan.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Arthur G. Dove was a native of Geneva, New York, about 46 miles from Rochester. Early on, rural New York State did not satisfy Dove's desire for a more engaged artistic life, and a few years after the turn of the 20th century, he moved to New York City and then to Paris. On his return to the United States in 1910, he began to paint abstract landscapes, and is considered one of America's first abstract painters. Dove's work was actively exhibited by photographer Alfred Stieglitz in his Gallery 291 and Intimate Gallery, major centers of avant-garde art in the United States. Stieglitz also showed the work of Georgia O'Keeffe whom he married in 1924.
Cars in a Sleet Storm was painted at the end of Dove's years in Geneva, where he had returned to manage his father's estate.
Dove's own words align him with the 20th century movement away from identifiable subject matter:"I would like to make something that is real in itself, that does not remind anyone of any other thing, and that does not have to be explained like the letter A, for instance." He also commented, "… I no longer observed in the old way, and not only began to think subjectively but also to remember certain sensations purely through their form and color, that is, by certain shapes, planes of light, or character lines determined by the meeting of such planes."

Werner Drewes said, “Nature is so rich, why shouldn’t non-objective art be the same?” Drewes’ bright planes of opaque and translucent color and contrasting curvilinear and geometric line and shape give this emphatically abstract painting the depth and complexity of a traditional landscape.
Drewes emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1930 only three years before the modern art school where he studied, the Bauhaus, was closed by Hitler.

Painting
Thomas Eakins painted multiple portraits of his father-in-law, William H. Macdowell. Eakins’s sensitive portraits and genre scenes defined American realist art at the end of the 19th century. His art and commitment to realism were enormously influential to the artists of the Urban Realist movement.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Thomas Eakins was one of America's greatest painters, whose realistic portrayals of people at work and at play have become icons of American culture. He immortalized many friends and family members by using them as subjects, among them his father-in-law, William Macdowell, an engraver and self-styled philosopher, whom Eakins painted and photographed numerous times. In the Gallery's portrait, Macdowell's aged face, rendered with scrupulous care and detail, emerges from a somber background. In this direct and straightforward manner, Eakins suggests Macdowell's strength of character and distinctive personality.

Painting
Born in America, Lyonel Feininger spent much of his adult life living and painting in Germany. He developed his own personal style of Cubism in which splinters of form and space are rhythmic and interlocking. At the time the Nazis took over the German government and its cultural properties in the 1930s, the National Museum of Halle owned Zirchow VI. The Nazi campaign against abstract art, labeled “degenerate,” led to the sale of the museum’s collection of modern paintings including Zirchow VI.

Painting
Helen Frankenthaler constantly pushed the limits of abstraction throughout her long career. Many of the first generation of abstract artists, such as Jackson Pollock, highlighted the expressive quality of painting. Through her unique process known as “soak-staining”—in which thinned paint was allowed to seep into unprimed canvas— Frankenthaler pioneered the emphasis on color in the following generation. Despite her ground-breaking approach, Frankenthaler’s early achievements were regularly diminished by critics on account of her gender. The artist resisted such limiting interpretations of her paintings:
"I wonder if my pictures are more 'lyrical' (that loaded word!) because I'm a woman. Looking at my paintings as if they were painted by a woman is superficial, a side issue, like looking at Klines and saying they are bohemian. The making of serious painting is difficult and complicated for all serious painters. One must be oneself, whatever."

Jane Freilicher came of age when contemporaries like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning were painting in the often gestural and painterly style of Abstract Expressionism. Freilicher remained loyal to representational subjects and the time-honored traditions of landscape and still-life painting. Characteristically, View Over Mecox depicts the view of an inlet near her studio in Water Mill, Long Island.
Vivid colors and fluid brushwork link Freilicher with Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann, with whom she studied and whose work is on view nearby.

Like many American painters, including Winslow Homer, William Glackens was an artist-reporter early in his career. He met Robert Henri in Philadelphia, shared a studio with him, and went to Paris with him in 1895. Upon Glackens's return, he moved to New York City. He exhibited with The Eight in 1908, and chaired the Armory Show in 1913. By 1914, he was devoting all of his time to painting, and espoused subjects like this one, colorful depictions of Americans at play. Many of his paintings reflect the influence of French impressionists, particularly Pierre Auguste Renoir.

Originally from Rochester, the painter and writer Douglas Gorsline attended the Art Students League in New York City and taught at the National Academy of Design. He was profoundly influenced by the artistic styles of cubism and realism. He tended to use fragmented compositions as a means of depicting reality, in particular reality combined with movement.

Painting
Nancy Graves worked in many media, including sculpture, printmaking, film, and painting. This fact may be one reason why this important and influential artist is not as well known today as she might otherwise be. Graves’ work is so varied in subject and material that it can be difficult to grasp the totality of her accomplishment. For paintings like this from the late 1970s, the artist found inspiration in topographical maps, including of the ocean floor, lunar photographs, fossil records, and other records of the natural world to create ebullient, whimsical, and layered abstract paintings.
[Summer 2015]
By incorporating scientific research and popular imagery into her practice, Nancy Graves sought to emphasize the amorphous relationship between reality and representation. In Fragment, Graves distorts recognizable patterns one might come to expect from a map—constructing a painting as much about visual expectations as it is about vibrant abstraction. From a distance, Fragment can be viewed as a jumbled topography, with distinct regions of colorful mark-making clashing or blending together. Upon closer inspection, the abstraction of the work takes over, denying a tangible reference to a specific place.

William Gropper satirized the United States Senate in The Opposition as lawmakers were threatening to cut significant federal funding for the arts. Gropper wrote, “I have portrayed the type of representative that is opposed to progress and culture. The U.S. Senate…[has] such an influence on American life, good and bad, that it has even affected the artist and the cultural development of our country.”
William Gropper supported himself with his political cartoons, satirical drawings, and illustrations, most of which pointed out how the burdens of society were largely borne by the working class.

Lawmakers were threatening to cut significant federal funding for the arts when political cartoonist and painter William Gropper satirized the United States Senate in The Opposition. Gropper wrote, “I have portrayed the type of representative that is opposed to progress and culture. The U.S. Senate…[has] such an influence on American life, good and bad, that it has even affected the artist and the cultural development of our country.”
[Gallery label text, 2007]
William Gropper was best known for his caustic commentary on the American political and social scene. He depicted realistic and identifiable subjects; The Opposition was one of a number of paintings and illustrations that came out of his 1934 assignment for the magazine Vanity Fair, to sketch legislators in action in Washington. Gropper made no bones about his distaste for politics and used his art to further his point of view:
"I have portrayed the type of representative that is opposed to progress and culture. The U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives have had such an influence on American life, good and bad, that it has even affected the artist and the cultural development of our country. No matter how far removed from politics artists may be, it seems to strike home. Only recently one blasting speech of a reactionary representative resulted in not only doing away with the Section of Fine Art, but also dismissing the Graphic Division of the OWI [Office of War Information] and nullifying art reportage for the War Department."
Gropper's start as a newspaper illustrator informed the creative processes of the rest of his life. His work retained his journalist's interest in issues of the day, giving it a particularly topical essence presented in a dynamic, expressionistic format.

George Grosz was a German soldier in World War I and left his country for the United States in 1933 during Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. Ten years later, he painted The Wanderer in New York—his intensely personal response to his experiences—as World War II raged over the ocean.
[Gallery label text, 2024]
Ten years after fleeing Germany during Hitler’s rise to power, George Grosz painted The Wanderer in New York. As World War II raged over the ocean, Grosz created this intensely personal response to his experience as a German soldier in World War I and his 1933 emigration to the United States.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Painted in the midst of World War II, The Wanderer is an expression of the artist’s recent life experience. George Grosz was an established painter in Germany who, like many others, spoke out against the totalitarian Nazi regime. For his own safety and that of his family, he relocated to the United States. The Wanderer was one of a group of so-called ‘hell pictures’; in a letter, he wrote:
I work a lot…I painted a little picture – The Wanderer –
myself of course…The resonance of explosion and
destruction often shakes me bodily.
The explosion and destruction was a reference to the war-torn European continent that he had left behind, as well as a reference to his own emotional volatility as he tried to adjust, with little success, to his new life in America, suggested in the painting by the seagrasses he knew from Long Island and Cape Cod beaches.
The Wanderer was probably one of the newest paintings acquired for the Encyclopedia Britannica Collection, as the collection was formed in 1943, the same year that Grosz painted this work. Stylistically, the painting’s expression of personal and cultural angst – achieved through desolate subject matter, somber palette, and unquiet line – was very much an alternative view to the more upbeat images of wartime artists like Norman Rockwell.

Entrenched in the social realist movement, which sought to depict the trials and tribulations of all people, Robert Gwathmey focused on the lives of Black sharecroppers in the American South. Non-Fiction shows a once common sight on southern farms: older children tending to the young while adults worked all day in the fields. The barbed wire and minstrel puppet figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism.
Born in Virginia and spending much of his life in New York City, Gwathmey spent two summers in the 1940s working alongside Black tobacco farmers in North Carolina. At a time when Black artists in the American South were rarely granted a platform for self-representation, Gwathmey, as a white artist, was able to depict the oppression he witnessed.

In the 1940s, Robert Gwathmey focused his artist’s eye upon the lives of African-American sharecroppers in the South. Non-Fiction shows a common sight on southern farms; older children tended to the young when both parents worked all day in the fields. The barbed wire and minstrel figure symbolize the dual oppressions of segregation and racism.

With the introduction of modernism, landscapes painted by American artists become deeply personal exercises. Unlike the emphasis on panoramic vistas in the 19th century, modernist artists allow their personal connection and response to a waterfall or a tree become the main subject of their painting. This waterfall in the Maine woods would have held particular interest for Marsden Hartley, who felt a spiritual connection to Maine and its natural resources.

This painting hung originally in the home of C.E.S. Wood, a Portland, Oregon lawyer, writer and art collector.
Murals were a common feature of turn-of-the-20th-century interiors, as they complemented the unified design popularized by artists and designers like William Morris and Gustav Stickley.
Monumental buildings like the Boston Public Library as well as cozy residential bungalows were decorated by artists who covered blank walls with colorful, imaginative, and romantic scenes like The Bathers.
MAG’s painting by Impressionist painter Childe Hassam was installed as part of a larger mural in the library/studio of the Portland, Oregon, home of Charles Erskine Scott Wood. A lawyer, writer, connoisseur, and friend of Hassam, Wood was influenced by the late 19th century Arts & Crafts aesthetic that disdained the ornate and cluttered surroundings of the Victorian period and aspired to simplicity and harmonious design. Wood wrote to his friend, the artist J. Alden Weir, that Hassam “whirled in and painted me a whole wall for my studio, and they tell me it is beautiful.”

Robert Henri, the leader of the Urban Realist movement, sought truth in art above all else. Henri promoted this revolutionary idea in support of a uniquely American art.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
In addition to providing guidance and inspiration (as well as occasional financial assistance) to many artists, Robert Henri was himself a very fine painter. Wherever he taught, he gathered around him eager and enthusiastic students who benefited from his instruction. He moved to New York in 1900 and taught at William Merritt Chase's school for a few years. In 1909, he established his own school, and also taught painting at the radical Ferrer School established by former Rochesterian Emma Goldman.
Although a member of the National Academy of Design, Henri actively promoted non-juried exhibitions and the work of younger, less traditional artists. Dictums such as "Know what the old masters did…They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you" gave his followers the confidence to paint in their own way.
During the 1920s, Henri lived in Ireland and painted a young boy named Tom Cafferty, who was the subject of this painting and a number of others. Characteristically, Henri painted him in a very loose and colorful style, with energetic brush strokes.

Title is taken from Memorial Exhibition.
George Herdle was one of the most versatile and influential leaders of Rochester’s arts community around the turn of the twentieth century. In addition to being a fine landscape painter, he was president of the Rochester Art Club for nearly two decades and, in 1913, he became the first director of the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester.
Herdle’s legacy is visible in the building and collections that surround you, as well as in the tradition of connoisseurship and artistic vitality that he transmitted to his two daughters, Gertrude Herdle Moore and Isabel C. Herdle. Gertrude took over at the Gallery as director after her father’s untimely death, and Isabel worked by her side as curator and associate director for many years. The family was honored by the naming of the Herdle Fountain Court on the second floor of the Gallery.

Painting
According to painter Hans Hofmann, “there are bigger things to be seen in nature than the object.” Ruby Gold demonstrates this idea through the dramatic interplay of color, form, and expression.
Hofmann was one of the most influential teachers of Abstract Expressionism, the painting style for which he is known. While other painters, such as Jackson Pollock, pioneered the style, Hofmann taught it to generations of students and helped to cement its role as a dominant form of painting in the U.S. from the 1950s onward. He created his signature works, like Ruby Gold, in the last eight years of his life, when, at age 78, he stopped teaching and devoted himself exclusively to painting.

Karl Knaths seldom left his home in Provincetown, where he primarily painted familiar Cape Cod scenes: the rambling lilac bushes that overtake the island in the summer months and the local fishermen and their gear. The 1956 exhibition from which the Gallery purchased Lilacs and Books received a glowing review in the New York Times that predicted, “Knaths’ work may well be part of the work of our time that is likely to endure.” Despite his popularity in the 1950s, his lyrical style was eclipsed in the annals of history by the muscular, dripping abstractions of Jackson Pollock and other Abstract Expressionists.

Painting
John Koch was a master of the tradition of American realism. His warm, intimate, and elegant New York City interiors glow with light that is reflected by well-polished furniture, floors, and silver.
In this painting, the artist’s wife (piano teacher Dora Zaslavsky) offers a cup of tea to the nude artist’s model, while the artist sits in the background and contemplates his canvas. A variation on the theme of artists and models, Interlude also is an expression of the generosity of human relationships. As one of Zaslavsky’s former students wrote, “…her philosophy of care and concern for the individual student helps shape my teaching to this day.”

The poet John Ashbery and the painter Elaine de Kooning were both members of a group of innovative New York artists that included Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and de Kooning’s husband Willem. Like those of her contemporaries, de Kooning’s aesthetic interests had shifted from traditional representational styles toward the radically new artistic development of Abstract Expressionism. However, the human—and particularly the male—figure still intrigued her; during the 1970s she painted several portraits of friends, including this one of Ashbery.

Compare the ominous and somber mood of Jacob Lawrence’s Gamblers with the upbeat and optimistic flavor of his painting Summer Street Scene in Harlem (MAG collection). The still and formal arrangement of figures and cards in Gamblers, the delicate floral vine that arches across the canvas, and the casket or tombstone forms behind the standing men create a scene that is very nearly funereal, perhaps suggesting the idea that life (and death) is a game of chance.

Jacob Lawrence put his own stylistic innovations on the flattened surfaces, distorted shapes, and bold colors of modernism. Here his vibrant palette and energetic composition express the joy and vitality of a summer in Harlem. Children play with their soap box and approach a shaved ice vendor; adults gather in conversation. Lawrence moved to Harlem with his family at the age of twelve, and he was greatly influenced by the creative community flourishing there.
Lawrence chronicled the lives, accomplishments, and challenges experienced by Black communities in the United States. His best-known series, The Migration of the Negro (1941), depicted the mass movement of Black people who relocated from the American South to the North, Midwest, and West in search of economic and social mobility. Lawrence’s parents themselves moved to the North in this exodus known as the Great Migration, which took place from the 1910s through the 1970s.

Painting
While many early twentieth century American paintings celebrated buildings, bridges and the hustle and bustle of the city, tranquil subjects, including Ashcan artist Ernest Lawson’s Garden, filled canvases as well.
In documenting a formal garden owned by H.H. Rogers in exclusive Tuxedo Park, New York, Lawson chose rich and vivid colors that evoked the warmth and languor of a summer interlude. The view of the charming teahouse, complete with sculpture, suggests afternoons filled with genteel conversation and desultory reading, or spent drifting off to the sound of lapping water, far removed from the clamor of Lie’s nearby Brooklyn Bridge or Sloan’s Election Night.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Ernest Lawson moved to New York in 1898, and in 1908 he exhibited at Macbeth Gallery with The Eight.
While this garden vista is an uncharacteristically intimate view by Lawson, it demonstrates his intense use of a color palette that was referred to as consisting of "crushed jewels." The painting was exhibited in 1916 at the Memorial Art Gallery, acquired from the exhibition by longtime MAG patrons, the Watsons, and generously donated to the Gallery in 1951. Long thought to be a Rochester garden, the subject was definitively identified by Deirdre Cunningham, the George Eastman House Nancy R. Turner landscape curator, as a garden in Tuxedo Park, New York. The current owners are in the process of restoring the garden, abandoned for many years, to its original beauty.

This painting of a shoeshine boy is a part of a series Luks made of young boys who worked on the streets of New York.
[Gallery label text, 2007
Luks, like Glackens, was originally from Philadelphia and moved to New York City in 1896. He was one of The Eight who exhibited together at Macbeth Gallery in 1908, and his painting of a boy with dice reflects his interest in depicting aspects of life in the lower classes. Here, a boy who looks to be no more than ten is smoking, more than likely earning his own living as a shoeshine boy, and supplementing his income by gambling.
The painting, inscribed To Elizabeth, was given by the artist to his student, Elizabeth Olds, who studied with him at the Art Students League in New York City. Elizabeth Olds was an accomplished printmaker and, like her teacher, believed in the importance of art for all people, not just the upper classes.

Like Arthur G. Dove and Georgia O'Keeffe, John Marin aligned himself with the avant-garde circle surrounding Alfred Stieglitz. While Marin's favorite subjects were landscapes and seascapes, particularly Maine marines, he applied to them the modernist sensibilities that he absorbed from European masters like Cézanne, whose first one-man show was at Stieglitz's Gallery 291 in 1911. The island that Marin depicts here is one that he purchased in 1914 immediately after getting married. It is off the coast of Maine, near Portland. The Maine landscape drew Marin back throughout his life.
A chief characteristic of twentieth century painting has been the practice of artists to transform subject with emotion, or as Marin's fellow painter Arthur Dove describes it, to pull the subject matter out and leave the sensation. Here, Marin sketches in the bare bones of his island but then folds it in as part of an all-over expression of action and energy, as if to suggest that the land mass is one with the wind and the waves.

Painter-printmaker Robert Marx taught at the State University at Brockport from 1970 to 1990. His figures personify the frustrating, hurtful, and dysfunctional aspects of the human condition in relation to authority, personal relationships, and oneself. He invites the viewer to meet the gaze of his subject, stating, “If I am successful, my people will make eye contact with you and a dialogue will begin.”

Monet loved London for its fog. During his 1901 visit to the city, he attempted to capture the evanescent effects of its misty climate in a series of views of Waterloo Bridge under varying conditions. Each time the light and weather shifted, he began a new canvas or returned to the one that recorded that particular atmosphere. Monet did not complete the paintings in London. He perfected them in his studio in France over the next three years. Thus, this painting records not only the artist's immediate response to the scene, but also his memory of it.

If you asked people to name an American artist, chances are that many of them would say “Grandma Moses,” for her name has come to be associated with a distinctive style of painting and rural subjects that strike a common national chord.
Grandma Moses first began to paint in her seventies, after arthritis made it impossible for her to continue to embroider. A New York collector driving through Moses’s home town of Hoosick Falls, New York, saw her paintings in a drugstore, bought them, and bought more after visiting her at her farm. She had her first exhibition in 1940.
In her biography, she wrote: "I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I feel satisfied with it. I was happy and contented, I knew nothing better and made the best out of what life offered. And life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."

Walter Murch’s poetic depictions of objects—clocks, gears, light bulbs, tools, stones—defy easy categorization. A unique figure among his contemporaries of the 1950s and 1960s, Murch was good friends with another outlier artist, Joseph Cornell, whose work The Admiral’s Game is on display nearby. The two shared an interest in the poetic significance of mundane objects. Through their eyes, a common object like a rock or a scrap of weathered wood is transformed into something mysterious and extraordinary.

Jerome Myers said of his art, “I went to the gutter for my subject, but they were poetic gutters.”
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Jerome Myers was called "the gentle poet of the slums" for his compassionate images of immigrant life in New York's Lower East Side. Myers recorded the unglamorous, yet commonplace aspects of city life, as did fellow painters John Sloan and Robert Henri, members of The Eight or the Ashcan School. However, his vision of the city's poor never evoked a sense of wretchedness: "Why catch humanity by the shirt-tail," he said, "when I could see more pleasant things?"
Though tame to us today, paintings like Sunday Morning were considered progressive, even "revolutionary" when they were painted, because of their subject matter. However, when it came to exhibiting with The Eight, Robert Henri didn't think that Myers's work was forceful enough. As a founder of the innovative American Association of Painters and Sculptors in 1911, Myers helped to pave the way for the watershed 1913 Armory Show in New York City, the exhibition that introduced European modernism to an enthusiastic but occasionally bewildered public.

With her unique vision and expression, Georgia O’Keeffe epitomizes the modern American artist. Her simple, pared down shapes and closely cropped still-lifes of bones and flowers turn objects into landscapes of their own.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Painting on the verso, an untitled abstraction, dates to ca. 1923

Ivan Olinksy, a Russian who arrived in New York City at age 13, was for many years the studio assistant of John LaFarge, the celebrated muralist and stained glass designer. After LaFarge’s death, Olinsky became a well-known painter in his own right, and George Herdle included his work in MAG’s inaugural exhibition of 1913. In attempting to trace that painting for the Gallery’s 75th anniversary show, MAG made contact with Olinsky’s daughter and grandsons. Serendipitously, Olinksky’s great-grandson had just graduated from the University of Rochester, and the family generously donated A New Arrangement to the permanent collection.

Painting
Maxfield Parrish, leading illustrator and muralist of the early twentieth century, painted Interlude to hang at the Eastman Theatre in Rochester. Through architect Lawrence Grant White, George Eastman commissioned three murals for the theater, which served as both silent movie palace and philharmonic hall. Interlude was Eastman’s favorite, a “peacherina,” he wrote White.
The radiant quality of Interlude is due to Parrish’s high technical standards and theatrical sense of color—electrical reds, vivid purples, and lush apricots. A shade of cobalt straight from the tube was applied so ingeniously that it became known as “Parrish blue.” He painted glaze upon glaze to create a hard photographic finish that betrayed no brush strokes.
Interlude was moved to the Memorial Art Gallery in 1997 to provide it with more stable temperature and humidity conditions. In its place at the Eastman Theatre is a full-size color reproduction.

Painting
Critic and painter Guy Pène du Bois continued the Realist, urban tradition of the Ash Can School painters, but peopled his canvases with more urbane elegant, and at times, mysterious, figures.
Jane is one of his quintessential creations. An enigmatic figure appears to step out of a shadow, perhaps in a restaurant or nightclub, perhaps inside or outside, in America or abroad. She is fashionably thin, well-dressed, and bejeweled, and yet for all her apparent material comfort, she manifests a sense of isolation and anxiety, expressed by her hands, her cast down eyes, and a downward turn of the mouth. Pène du Bois' intriguing contrasts of light and dark areas within the painting contribute to the sense of unease that the figure expresses. The painting's mood certainly reflects the artist's admiration of Edward Hopper.

Painting
One of Rochester's most picturesque river crossings is the Veterans' Memorial Bridge (Ridge Road), completed in 1931. In this painting, Carl Peters records the complex engineering systems that were used to build the bridge's series of seven granite-faced concrete arches. Most likely, his vantage point was the steep west bank of the Genesee River, whose green waters flow far below; work has been completed on both sides of the river but the bridge is still lacking its large central span.
On the bridge is a dedicatory plaque donated by World War I Gold Star Mothers - women who lost sons in World War I. At the dedication, the president of the group said:
Great bridges across flowing waters are
indicative of the continual labors of life.
In the very presence of continual change,
they seem to connect the past with the
present, even as they connect the East
with the West, the North with the South...

Painting
Jackson Pollock mused “that the modern painter cannot express this age, the airplane, the atom bomb, the radio, in the old forms of the Renaissance or of any other past culture. Each age finds its own technique.”
His “poured” paintings, like the one on view here, have become an emblem of twentieth-century abstract art. Eschewing traditional brushes, easels, and realistic subject matter, Pollock placed his canvases on the floor. He often walked on them as he dripped skeins of paint across their surfaces. Using the movement of his entire body, he got inside his paintings, as he sometimes described his working process. His painting style may appear to be accidental and random, but it was, in fact, controlled and defined.

Throughout his life, Maurice Prendergast found delight and inspiration in the pleasant, sun-filled parks and beaches along the New England shore. He recalled happy moments there in brilliant watercolors, so remarkable in their energy and hue that they were likened, in Prendergast's day, to "an explosion in a color factory."
Trained as a theater poster painter, Prendergast became extraordinarily facile in watercolor, and he employed it throughout his career. The fluid medium was especially appropriate to Prendergast's expressions of the momentary, as the dance of light across the landscape and the rhythmic movements of bathers and picnickers could be suggested in quick dashes of luminous color.
Under the influence of French post-impressionistic painting, Prendergast's watercolors became increasingly abstract. This late example is typical in its brevity. The design is realized through a loose pattern of strong primary and secondary colors set against the bright white ground. Much of the sheet has been left to create scattered highlights and to heighten the viewer's awareness of the work as pure paint on paper.

Despite many differences in style and subject matter, Maurice Prendergast exhibited with the Urban Realist artists in the beginning of the century. His style of breaking up the surface of his paintings with color and light was a shock to American viewers. An art critic wrote in 1908, “Hung in a group, these canvases of Mr. Prendergast look… like an explosion in a color factory.”
[Gallery label text, 2007]
Prendergast looked to European artists for his inspiration. One of the most modern painters working in America in the first decade of the century, his colors were often applied in post-impressionist daubs, like Seurat, and the space in his works was compressed and unrealistic.
Like Glackens, he enjoyed painting scenes of leisure, particularly bathing scenes like this one. He exhibited in the 1908 Macbeth Gallery show, along with Henri and the others, and while his work had little in common with many of the members of The Eight, he was as interested as they were in defying the conventions that had been established by the National Academy.

Ad Reinhardt took a philosophical point of view when it came to making fine art and explaining its significance. An influential writer on the subject, he is remembered for having made the following statement: “Art is Art, and Life is Life.” The spirit of this statement is well represented by this painting, which has a very subtle composition that only emerges for the viewer after close inspection. For Reinhardt, to appreciate the true significance of art one shouldn’t compare it to anything else. Art is an idea that is revealed only through pure form and content. For Reinhardt, art cannot teach you about the world. It can only teach you about art.

Renoir’s health began failing in the early 1900s, and he spent most of his remaining years in the south of France. In 1907, he bought property near Nice, France, where he lived until his death. Despite his physical limitations due to severe rheumatism, he continued to paint still lifes, portraits, and landscapes of the area. Like Monet, he used a fairly limited color palette, usually five to seven pigments, to create his complex, yet subtle, color relationships.

Painter Paul Resika's brush translates the dramatic colors of boats, sea and sky into a nearly abstract composition. The artist's lifelong interest in color was established early on in studies with Hans Hofmann (see Hofmann's "Ruby Gold," 60.37). Two years in the watery environs of Venice, and residency since the 1960s on Cape Cod, have given Resika the imagery with which to express his profound connection with the beauty of the natural world.

When Director George Herdle invited artists to exhibit their work at the Memorial Art Gallery, he often included an invitation for them to visit Rochester, give a talk, and meet potential patrons. Such was the case with Walter Elmer Schofield's 1915 exhibition. In March, he came to Rochester, spent time braving cold weather in various locales and painted at least two canvases. As he stood by his easel on the Driving Park Bridge overlooking the Lower Falls of the Genesee River, a news photographer happened upon him and took his picture for the March 3, 1915, newspaper. The headline? "Artist Braves March Weather to Paint Lower River".

This image of a New York City construction site is based on a film still from Charles Sheeler’s 1920 film collaboration with photographer Paul Strand, <em>Manhatta</em>. In the ten-minute film, the artists track the dynamism of Manhattan through the course of a day, focusing on the unique pulse and geometry of the city’s machinery, vehicles, and architecture. <em>Manhatta</em> provided Sheeler with numerous images from which he later painted.
The title of this painting, <em>Totems in Steel</em>, frames modern engineering, industry, and architecture in quasi-religious terms. Sheeler wrote, “In a period such as ours when only a comparatively few individuals seem to be given to religion, some form other than the Gothic cathedral must be found. Industry concerns the greatest numbers—it may be true, as has been said, that our factories are our substitute for religious expression.”

In a city of many tough neighborhoods, New York’s Sullivan Street was one of the toughest. Shinn’s depiction of the isolated figure in the foreground evokes the condition of modern man in an urban environment—a recurring theme in the art of the Urban Realists.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
In 1897, encouraged by his mentor Robert Henri, Shinn moved from Philadelphia to New York City. Like Luks and Glackens, he was an artist-reporter as well as a painter. He exhibited with The Eight in 1908 at Macbeth Gallery. Sullivan Street was owned by the artist until 1945, when the Memorial Art Gallery purchased the canvas directly from him.
With just a few strokes of his brush, Everett Shinn has recreated an overcast winter street scene filled with mood and mystery. Sullivan Street is in Greenwich Village, around the corner from Shinn's studio on Waverly Place and near Washington Square Park, whose leafless trees can be seen beyond the buildings on the right.

John Sloan’s interest in the working class was not only aesthetic, it was also political. By 1909, Sloan was an active member of the Socialist party and used his art to shine a light on the equally noble and interesting lives of the lower classes. Marrying style to subject, Sloan’s loose brushwork and dark colors epitomize the Ashcan style.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
In 1909, many artists and collectors would not have considered a Chinese restaurant to be an appropriate subject for a painting. The artist, John Sloan, was part of a group of artists labeled “Ashcan” painters early in the century, because of their frequent choice of the less genteel aspects of urban life. Now, Sloan’s paintings are recognized as major documents of American life and this painting, like many others on view in this installation, is often loaned to museums in the United States and overseas.
Also called “The Eight,” Sloan and his seven colleagues exhibited together in a landmark show at Macbeth Gallery in 1908 in response to the jurying system of the National Academy and its more traditional members that frequently excluded less conventional artists.
It’s amusing to consider that in 1943, when the Encyclopedia Britannica collection was being assembled, that a painting created in 1909 would be considered contemporary. However, it may have been included in recognition of the fact that John Sloan painted his contemporary world as he saw it. In fact, in 1943, the freshness of Sloan’s style and the timeless nature of the scene painted thirty-four years previously did not seem out of keeping with many works from the 1940s. And Sloan was still quite an active artist at this point in his life.
[Gallery label text, 2006]
As recommended by his mentor, painter Robert Henri, John Sloan derived most of his subjects from close observation of his surroundings. Such was the case on the night of February 23, 1909, when he went out to eat at a restaurant on Sixth Avenue, not far from Herald Square. He wrote, “I saw a strikingly gotten up girl with dashing red feathers in her hat playing with the restaurant's fat cat. It would be a good thing to paint. I may make a go at it.” Characteristically, Sloan waited for a bit before undertaking the work, and on March 15 wrote, “I started a memory painting of the Chinese Restaurant girl I saw some four weeks ago." His intermittent working style is revealed by a diary entry on March, 18, in which he described not only working on the painting, but going to the restaurant again to “refresh my memory of the place.”
In 1944, the painting joined a corporate collection of outstanding contemporary art formed by the Encyclopedia Britannica. In 1951, the Memorial Art Gallery acquired fourteen paintings from the collection – this painting and work by Thomas Hart Benton, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Stuart Davis, among others.

This scene, nearly unintelligible in its crowding and confusion, is Sloan’s celebration of the furor of the city on election night.
[Gallery label text, 2007]
John Sloan met Robert Henri in Philadelphia, and from early on maintained a friendship and correspondence with him until Henri died in 1929. He moved to New York City at Henri’s urging.
On November 5, 1907, he wrote: “Election Day… saw the noisy trumpet blowers, confetti throwers and the 'ticklers' in use - a small feather duster on a stick which is pushed in the face of each girl by the men, and in the face of men by the girls. A good humorous crowd, so dense in places that it was impossible to control one's movement.” The location, Herald Square at 34th and Broadway, was close by the New York Herald Building as well as Macy's. The elevated railroad tracks loomed overhead, increasing the suggestion of noise and activity in the scene.
Sloan included Election Night as one of his entries in the 1908 exhibition at Macbeth Gallery. In his estimation, it was “…one of my best things. So that I felt happy in the evening, that good all over feeling that only comes from satisfaction in work - the real happiness, the joy of accomplishing or thinking that one has accomplished, which amounts to the same thing.”

Jaune Quick-To-See Smith’s collaged paintings incorporate the desert colors of her childhood with the spontaneous brushwork of Abstract Expressionism. She has said about her work:
My art, my life experience, and my tribal ties are totally enmeshed. I go from one community with messages to the other, and I try to enlighten people.
Famous Names accomplishes Smith’s self-appointed task. The canvas is dominated by the image of a traditional Native American buckskin dress. The photographs and text around this central form refer to stereotypes that the dominant non-Native culture has used to describe Native Americans as simultaneously exotic and ridiculous, and to marginalize them. As Seneca artist and site manager of Ganondagan
G. Peter Jemison writes in an essay on this painting, the “famous names” referenced in the title offer a composite of “a record of people with ancient ties to the land and of the often-bungled attempts of English-speaking writers to capture what a translator related.”

Sorolla discovered Impressionism during an 1885 visit to Paris and took its revolutionary approach to light and color back to Spain with him. There he developed his own style, characterized by large, strong brushstrokes, and soon his international reputation was established. Sorolla's special ability to render the play of bright sunlight on the sea, on sand, and on figures along the beach has been praised by critics. "Oxen on the Beach," which features all three surfaces, is a brilliant display of Sorolla's talents.

Raphael Soyer was a prolific realist painter and printmaker whose career spanned most of the 20th century. In 1912 he immigrated to New York from Russia with his family, and the city became his muse.
The actress Maureen Stapleton (1925-2006) was an artist’s model before her film career took off. In her memoirs she wrote that she “worked for Reggie [Marsh] for quite a while. He passed me off to his friend, Raphael Soyer….I was zaftig, and that’s what those guys wanted: a big, blubbery young dame.”

Throughout history, artists have painted portraits of their friends, including friends who are often artists themselves. The young man in this portrait, Clarence J. McCarthy, met the artist Eugene Speicher while both were studying at the Albright Art School in their native Buffalo. The two also studied together at New York City’s Art Students League with the influential teacher Robert Henri. Speicher became an important portrait painter, and McCarthy, a significant illustrator.

Harwood Steiger, a master of the watercolor medium, lived for many years in Fairport, NY. Steiger’s industrial landscape is a ramshackle vision. The title, <em>Fungus</em>, implies Steiger’s impression of industry as a growing blight on the landscape. However, the almost-comical characterizations suggest a more harmless than threatening presence.

For thirty-three years Fritz Trautmann’s passion for painting inspired his students in MAG’s Creative Workshop. Over his lifetime, he developed an approach to color that was scientific as well as mystical, and in 1942 he painted Galaxy to teach his theories to students. MAG purchased the painting from the artist in 1956. It has been a visitor favorite ever since.
Despite appearances, not a single drop of black paint was used, as Trautmann believed it dampened the natural vibrations of color. Focusing on what he considered the four primary colors rather than the traditional three, Trautmann wrote,
Galaxy symbolizes the great truth that every phenomenon in life involves ALL of life. Each globe of Galaxy is composed of EXACTLY THE SAME ELEMENTS. The entire spectrum wraps itself around each globe with unvarying uniformity. Warm red plays across the field from the left, bright yellow streams down from above, cold blue comes in from the right, and deep violet rises from the bottom.

In River Garden, we see the two passions of Fritz Trautmann’s life: color and landscape architecture. In a letter to the painting’s donors, Trautmann wrote, “This is a corner of my River Road garden. I’ve made many gardens in my day, but this one gave me the most pleasure. It was built in the ruined foundation of a barn that burned many years ago. As I remember it there were thirteen different levels… It was located about midway between the old River Bend Inn and Balentine bridge [sic] on the east side of the Genesee River.”
Although he lived in the city of Rochester, Trautmann sought rural surroundings in the summer. He stayed in the house attached to this garden in the 1920s; by the early 1930s he purchased and refurbished an old farmhouse and its gardens on Canadice Lake.

Douglas Volk was known for his portraiture. This painting of his daughter, Marion, is a nice example of his work.
Volk was the son of Leonard Wells Volk, the sculptor of Life Mask and Hands of Abraham Lincoln (98.37.1-.2a-b) and Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation statuette (2008.29) in the collection of the Memorial Art Gallery. As the child of an artist, Douglas Volk was surrounded by art from an early age. He travelled to Paris as a young man where he studied under the academic painter, Jean-Léon Gérôme. Volk went on to have a long and distinguished career in the United States where he exhibited widely, was the recipient of numerous awards, and taught generations of artists at Cooper Union, the Art Students League, and the National Academy of Design.

Neil Welliver is one in a long line of painters of the Maine landscape, where the forces of nature play themselves out against a background of severe beauty.
As art critic Edgar Allen Beem has commented,
In the end, what you have in a Neil Welliver landscape is the evidence one artist has collected of the visual order within the seeming chaos of nature, of human consciousness alive in an indifferent universe, and of the clarity of vision that can be brought to bear on a beauty borne out of pain.

Painting
In 1922, the year he painted "Three Trees, Winter," Harold Weston wrote:
"I stopped beside a big hemlock tree and reached around the great trunk to feel its vigor, its reality, its life existing essence. My ear, laid against the wet bark, seemed to hear the pulse, the flow of life-creating sap....[R]oots plunged into the soil, made it one with the earth and gave it life. As a primitive pagan I bowed before the mystery of that world spirit that giveth life to nature and to man."
Weston has recently emerged as one of the premier painters of the Adirondack landscape. His modernist sensibility - abstract forms, expressive lines and colors - renew the viewer's understanding and appreciation of traditional vistas. In the words of collector Duncan Phillips, "There is a young American painter who stirs in me the hope for a re-birth on this new soil of something that was not lost to the art of painting with the passing of Vincent van Gogh."

Painting
Throughout his career, Jerome Witkin’s dedication to the human form has never wavered. In "Breaking the Pose," Witkin captures the activities within an artist’s studio at a specific moment in time. A figurative painter’s reliance upon a nude model is made evident here, as two women pose for the artist. Modeled after Diego Velasquez’s 1656 portrait of the royal family of Spain, Las Meninas, Witkin elevates the goings on of an artist’s studio and makes a connection across the centuries to one of the most successful and revered Old Master figure painters.
Similarities between the two works include the presence of the canvas and the artist; multiple subjects, all of whom appear to be momentarily distracted by visitors; and the reflections in a mirrored background that extend the scene and pique the viewer’s interest.

Until research identifies the sitter, Portrait of a Youth or Portrait of a Young Man may be applied as a more appropriate title.
Unfortunately, the name of this young man was not recorded. The title that the work has carried for many years is further dehumanizing. In the historical moment when this painting was made and exhibited, the term “negro” was commonly used—including by significant African American figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Langston Hughes—to refer to a Black person. Today, however, this terminology is outdated and inappropriate.
John Steuart Curry is known for his narrative and landscape paintings of life in his home state of Kansas. When he painted this luminous portrait, he had just returned from studying art in Paris, France.

1900-2000, 20th century, by Rochester artists, paintings, portraits, women
Painting
Kathleen McEnery’s artistic career drastically changed course after her marriage to Frank Cunningham and subsequent relocation to Rochester. Early on, she studied in New York City with Robert Henri, exhibited two paintings in the pioneering 1913 Armory Show, and continued her education in Paris. Although she continued to paint, her work consisted primarily of intimate portraits of friends and acquaintances. Marjorie Quetchenbach, one of McEnery’s friends, served as the model for this portrait. The title Mood, however, identifies the moment and personality of the sitter rather than her name.

Painting
About the time this work was painted, Le Sidaner's art was compared by a French critic with the music of his countryman and exact contemporary Claude Debussy. The painting's subtle, almost monochromatic coloring, with daubing brushstrokes creating a soft, flickering play of light over surfaces, is certain reminiscent of Debussy's dappled tonal effects.

Walt Kuhn received great acclaim during his lifetime for the bold simplicity and emotional intensity of his paintings of vaudeville and circus performers. Kuhn was also one of the principal organizers of the landmark and pioneering Armory Show of 1913, which introduced the American public to avant-garde European art and helped change the course of painting and sculpture in the United States.

The creator of the beloved Madeline stories had a sharp and satirical eye for the scenes that he found around him in his adopted city of New York. In addition to his children’s books, Bemelmans illustrated for the New Yorker, Vogue, and Holiday magazines. Currently, the curator is trying to determine if this artwork was designed for a New Yorker cover.
Upscale New York restaurant were familiar territories for Bemelmans. At age 14, he was apprenticed to his uncle, a hotelier in the Tyrol. The young Bemelmans’ lack of success – and outright bad behavior – contributed to his emigration to America, where he sought his fortune as a waiter at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in New York City. After serving in World War I, he opened and decorated his own restaurant. When a friend in the publishing business suggested that he turn his whimsical paintings into stories, Bemelmans wrote his first children’s book – Hansi. In 1939, Madeline appeared. He went on to write for adults, and in 1941, wrote Hotel Splendide, a fictional account of a grand hotel with an elegant, but problem-ridden restaurant.
Bemelmans is buried at Arlington National Cemetery. His public work survives in the 1947 mural commission for the Hotel Carlyle on Madison Avenue – in what is now called Bemelmans Bar.

While much of Arthur B. Davies's work is ethereal and far-removed from the gritty realism that characterized the work of many of The Eight, he was an innovative artist who was dedicated to fighting the conservative practices of the National Academy of Design. Davies also spearheaded the 1913 Armory Show, which became a byword for all that was contemporary in American and European art.
This work is typical of his figure paintings, which often include groups of nudes in the landscape.

Mark Tobey’s observations about his own work are especially eloquent and revealing:
Over the past 15 years, my approach to painting has varied, sometimes being dependent on brushwork, sometimes on lines, dynamic white strokes in geometric space. For me, the road has been a zig-zag into and out of old civilizations, seeking new horizons through meditation and contemplation. My sources of inspiration have gone from those of my native Middle West to those of microscopic worlds. I have discovered many a universe on paving stones and tree barks.
Some critics have criticized me for being what they call an Orientalist and using Oriental models for my work. But they were wrong….What did develop there was what I call the calligraphic impulse that has opened out new horizons for my work. Now I could paint the turmoil and tumult of the great cities, the intertwining of the lights and the streams of people caught up in the mesh of their net.

James Lechay played a notable role in the tradition of avant-garde painting in New York City, where his circle of friends included Milton Avery, Mark Rothko, and Arshile Gorky, and later in the Midwest, where he taught at the University of Iowa for nearly three decades. “A serious painter is what I like,” he said in an interview in 1995 at the age of 89. “Whether I like his work or not has nothing to do with it, but I like the fact that he’s serious and struggling and trying to find something. A carefully done, precise, boring rendition copy, that shows no search, I’m not interested in that, and I don’t think that goes anywhere. But the person who has all the wonderful mistakes of a human being, his work is wonderful because it has wonderful errors in it, it’s full of life. I mean that a cadaver is perfect, it doesn’t make any mistakes, but it’s also dead.”

This 1837 “Greek Revival” mansion is actually designed in the style of a Roman temple, with large Corinthian columns defining the front façade. Like innumerable structures found across the U.S., it represents the American fondness for adopting classical architecture styles for important buildings of political power and prestige.

Bragdon’s Mathematical Abstractions is a set of images based on mathematical relationships and suggestive of cosmic forms in the solar system. This series grew out of Bragdon’s continued interest in uniting color, form, and music. The series was exhibited in 1941-42 in Hartford, New York City, and finally in Rochester at the Memorial Art Gallery. The Mathematical Abstractions were best described by the artist in the 1941-42 exhibition brochure:
"These fifteen water-color paintings represent the final distillation of Mr. Bragdon’s creative ability in a field which he has made his own. Although susceptible of classification as non-representational, or non-objective art, they are unique by reason of the fact that Mr. Bragdon is a skilled mathematician and geometer as well as an artist. He does not wish these paintings to be viewed, however, from any other standpoint than that of their intrinsic beauty—their purely aesthetic appeal. He believes that mathematical truth is at the root of all beauty, and that in the same sense that music may be said to be the beauty of mathematics made audible, so are these paintings mathematics made visible. After having made many hundred drawings, Mr. Bragdon made the paintings here and now exhibited, which from one point of view might be regarded as so many 'stills' of color symphonies seen by the author 'in his mind’s eye.'
One of the pioneers in the new art of Color Music, Mr. Bragdon has from far back employed his spare time and his spare money in the construction of one “color-organ” after another, in which it was his idea to add luminosity, color, rhythm, mobility, to his designs derived from mathematical sources. Convinced, after many failures, that the most satisfactory way in which this might be accomplished was by the animated cartoon technique, he made a study of it with this in view, and tried to interest the moving picture people in his idea. None of them were prepared, however, to invest the necessary amount of money in what they regarded as an uncertain venture. Walt Disney, meantime, a free agent, with the means at his disposal, had gone ahead and in certain parts of “Fantasia”—notably in the “sound-track” sequence—approximated some of the color-music effects which Mr. Bragdon had had in mind."

As an art student in Paris, Bonnard became affiliated with the Nabis, or Prophets. This group of young artists was influenced by Paul Gauguin's belief that a painting should be a product of the imagination rather than a mere copy of nature. Influenced also by Gauguin's style, the Nabis simplified form and used color boldly and expressively.
After the turn of the century, Bonnard refined these principles, developing a personal, decorative, and highly subjective style. As in this scene, his pictures of everyday life often featured his wife. Painting from memory in his studio, Bonnard freely modified form and heightened color to express the beauty he recalled in nature.

This idyllic scene of fashionable women and children in a New York City park contrasts with the reality of Jan Matulka’s impoverished childhood as the son of an immigrant mother in the Bronx.
The realist style of Matulka’s early years shifted to abstraction as he had the opportunity to travel, first through the United States and subsequently to Paris, and engage with artists like Stuart Davis, who was experimenting with modernist styles like cubism.

In 1942-43, a mural competition was held for the newly built Recorder of Deeds Building in Washington, D.C. The topic was "The Contribution of the Negro to the American Nation." Hale Woodruff submitted this imagined grouping of Frederick Douglass, President Lincoln, and members of Lincoln's cabinet. While Woodruff did not win the competition, his mural study is a dramatic reminder of the alliance of two of America's most courageous leaders, Lincoln and Douglass, during a period that threatened to destroy the American union.
While Douglass never, in reality, met with Lincoln's cabinet, he did meet with Lincoln and repeatedly urged the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Woodruff stressed the significance of Douglass's role by appropriating the historical image engraved by Ritchie and adding an animated Douglass and the colorful American flag.

After the war, John Wenrich stayed in Europe and sketched the cities and landscapes of France. In this bleak sketch of the French city of Verdun, dated January 18, 1919, Wenrich captured the devastation of modern warfare; a sight most Americans had little experience viewing first hand. The Battle of Verdun, a year-long battle that ended before America entered the war, resulted in nearly one million casualties and was the bloodiest battle of the war.

In 2003, the Gallery received 50 drawings and watercolors that Rochester artist John C. Wenrich painted in France after he served in the First World War. This group includes both sketches and more fully developed images, like this one of Le Gros Horloge, or The Great Clock, in Rouen, France. Wenrich’s paintings show his fascination with the culture, history, and architecture of France. The pedestrian street below this clock links the site where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1431 with the cathedral Claude Monet painted repeatedly, in different seasons and weather, during the 1890s.

Painting
Robert Lee MacCameron was well-known for two very different kinds of paintings: society portraits of people like President Taft, Auguste Rodin, and Lady Astor, and depictions of the sordid demi-monde of his adopted city of Paris. The Absinthe Drinker, completed in the year of the artist’s death, is an excellent example of the latter. Despite the painting’s poor condition, the sitter’s ghastly complexion and stooped posture evoke the fate of those who lost themselves to “the green fairy,” as the potent and inexpensive spirit was sometimes called.
MacCameron married Louise Van Voorhis, a member of one of Rochester’s most prominent families. Her mother donated this painting to MAG many years after the painter’s death at age 46.

A heat haze gathers at the base of distant hills; a lone truck kicks up a trail of dust on a scorched dirt road; the cool blue of a quiet river beckons amidst arid surroundings. River and Canal, San Patricio, a deceptively evocative painting, exemplifies Peter Hurd’s southwest landscapes. The artist wrote of his native New Mexico, “I knew, even as a boy of five or six, that there was about that land… something very special and strangely exciting.”

Decorative Arts
Like philosophers and artists before him, Claude Bragdon sought a sacred geometry of cosmic significance and harmonious design. In his 1915 book Projective Ornament he outlined a modern, universal system of design based on numbers and geometry abstracted from nature. Bragdon’s beliefs in Theosophy influenced his use of the fourth dimension in creating his ornament. He believed in the fourth dimension as a mystical hyperspace that explained some of the mysteries of life and the afterlife. Bragdon based his new ornamental style on a complex system of projecting and manipulating two-dimensional shapes such as squares and triangles into four-dimensional shapes such as tesseracts and pentahedroids.
In September of 1915, Claude Bragdon helped organize the Song and Light Festival, a community-building public singing event held in Highland Park. As Master of Light, Bragdon used projective ornament to design colorful circular glass shields and Japanese-style lanterns that he artfully arranged around the stage. Lit by electricity, Bragdon’s projective ornament designs created an otherworldly outdoor environment likened to a “cathedral without walls.”
Bragdon was intensely absorbed and inspired by this new endeavor in which he could aid progressive social reform using his passion for color, light, drama and modern ornament. The popularity of the Rochester festival soon spread to other cities in the northeast, and Bragdon was involved in staging Song and Light Festivals through 1918.

Fritz Trautmann—landscape architect, painter, colorist, teacher—was an important figure in Rochester’s art community. He was at the center of the city’s bohemian life with one foot in the upper echelon of Rochester society, with friends like businesswoman Kate Gleason and patron of the arts Charlotte Whitney Allen. He was known to have painted many murals in East Avenue mansions.
Artist and influential MAG board member Kathleen McEnery Cunningham painted this portrait of her friend Fritz Trautmann. It seems Trautmann was pleased with the likeness as the portrait hung above his mantel for many years. Upon his death, the painting came to the Memorial Art Gallery with his estate.

Rochester artist Kathy Calderwood brings a pop-culture sensibility to her version of a 19th-century trompe l’oeil (“fool the eye”) painting. William Harnett (1848-1892), cited in the title of her work, was an American artist known for his realistic depictions of still-life elements such as musical instruments, stacks of books, hunting equipment, and sometimes dead game. Here Calderwood provides a plucked Donald Duck, accompanied by an unlucky rabbit, half a banana, a wad of bubble gum, and a newspaper’s comics pages. Calderwood’s modern references are as familiar to modern audiences as Harnett’s original still-life subjects would have been in his era.

Like other early 20th century artists, e.e.cummings explored the potential of sensory relationships - dizzying compositions, and combinations of vivid color and bold patterns that suggest sound, for example. This paralleled his efforts to incorporate multiple sensory effects in his poetry. He worked in this style through 1925; in the years following, cummings abandoned abstraction and found delight in bringing his own experimental style to representational scenes.

e. e. cummings painted many self portraits throughout his life. This one was probably included in the first of his two Memorial Art Gallery exhibitions, which opened on June 8, 1945. A notation on the back of the painting -June 5, 1945 - suggests that it was a last-minute addition to the exhibition!

The subject of this painting is probably the same as for the oil on board Mountain View--New England Landscape (46.5). However, because of his choice of media and color, the mood is completely different.

Most of cummings's landscape paintings have as their subjects views of the White Mountains from Joy Farm, where the Cummings family retreated during the summer months. For e.e.cummings, Joy Farm was his haven from the time he was four until the summer he died, in 1962.

Painting
Born in Brooklyn, Kathleen McEnery studied with noted painter Robert Henri at the New York School of Art. Her work was of such high quality that she exhibited two nudes at the famous 1913 Armory Show in New York City.
There are two paintings, Colette and Mood, by Kathleen McEnery exhibited in this gallery. Although both are portraits of women, they say a great deal about two very different periods in the artist’s career. McEnery painted Colette when she was living in Paris between 1908 and 1910. This elaborate full-length portrait of a young French model, beautifully dressed and heavily made up, was exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1911. Mood, painted about 15 years later, reflects the more intimate, sensitive nature of her work after she married and moved to Rochester.

Roycroft
Painting
Alexis Fournier was known as the “Court Painter” during his many years at Elbert Hubbard’s Roycroft community of artists and craftsmen in East Aurora, New York. The murals he painted of the great cities of the world still grace the walls of the main salon at the Roycroft Inn. He was also active in Minneapolis and the artists’ colony at Brown County, IN. Sometimes referred to as “the last American Barbizon,” his landscapes were reminiscent of the mid-19th-century French painters who championed a new realism in art. This lovely canvas was donated by the grandson of MAG’s founder.

John C. Wenrich’s watercolor painting captures one of the ironies of modern technology: the occasional and spectacular failure of machines designed to make life more convenient. In <em>Almost Home for Christmas</em>, the family car has been bested by the snow. The application of good old-fashioned sweat and muscles of both man and beast is the only solution.

Supper was one of George Tooker’s “protest paintings.” Inspired by the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the artist chose the New Testament story of the supper at Emmaus to draw attention to the Civil Rights movement.
In the biblical story, Jesus appeared as a stranger to two disciples after the Crucifixion. The disciples invited him to supper and only when Jesus blessed and broke the bread did they recognize him. In a year of great strife and bloodshed—1963 was marked by boycotts, the killing of African American civil rights activist Medgar Evers, and the bombing of a church in Birmingham, Alabama that killed four young African American girls—Tooker chose to voice his protest by depicting an African American man as the enlightened, peace-filled Jesus in the moment preceding the revelation of his identity.

As a symbol of American invention and progress, the telegraph pole and its wires frame a depressing landscape. The curved pole, clearly a tree cut down and stripped of its bark and limbs, is a powerful metaphor for the abuse that man and nature experience under the unstoppable momentum of industry. Railroad tracks lined by austere workers’ huts lead the viewer’s eyes back to an industrial inferno.
Buffalo artist Charles Burchfield felt a great deal of reverence for the natural world. His nuanced depictions of the industrial landscape were indictments of environmental abuse.

Dargis enjoyed sending handpainted holiday cards. In addition to the customary expression of season’s greetings, this tradition also served as a public relations tool, reminding his friends and patrons of his steady supply of prints and paintings. Gertrude Herdle Moore, MAG’s second director, was an ardent supporter of Dargis’s work during his time in Rochester, so it is not surprising that the inscription on this back of this painting says Mrs. G. Moore Seasons Greetings- A.L. Dargis-.

By mid-century, American artists—influenced primarily by artists who had fled Europe during the 1930-1940s—had firmly established themselves as the leading force in abstract painting and sculpture. The Gallery, continuing its practice of acquiring contemporary art, grew significantly during this period to include the work of the first and second generation of Abstract Expressionists like Al Leslie, former faculty members of the German Bauhaus like Joseph Albers, as well as artists who absorbed and transformed the aesthetic lessons of abstraction and integrated them back into representational imagery.

Perhaps best known as the illustrator of the popular Madeline books, Ludwig Bemelmans breathes unexpected life into Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris. Established by Napoleon in 1803, the 125-acre cemetery is the final resting place of such famous figures as Héloise and Abelard, Honoré de Balzac, Frederic Chopin, Oscar Wilde, and Jim Morrison. At least six gendarmes are depicted in this watercolor, most giving directions to bewildered tourists and one giving chase to a dog on the loose.

Painting
Philip Morsberger painted Newark as a companion piece to his 1964 painting titled, November 22, 1963, of President Kennedy's assassination (now in the collection of The Butler Institute of American Art). Although painted four years apart, the artist was consciously depicting what he saw as two assassinations - both of unarmed men, shot to death. While the Kennedy painting was derived from the famous film of the President’s assassination captured by Anthony Zapruder, the Newark painting was derived from Life Magazine photos of the shooting of a man caught looting during the Newark riots of 1967. Morsberger arranged the sequencing of images in Newark in an effort to mimic that of November 22, 1963, modifying the imagery of the actual photographs in order to heighten the similarities.
