Jack Whitten (1939 – 2018)
“I believe in the history of painting. Let’s go back to Franz Kline. Franz Kline helped me. He said to me and a group of younger artists one night, ‘The minute you walk into that studio, and you pick up that brush, you’re a part of history, and you will never be alone.” By God, did that help me, being black and so forth, being left out of shit and so forth, and Franz Kline saying, you’ll never be alone. You pick up that brush and you walk in that studio. Man, that’s meaningful. For a young artist to hear that coming from a master, I still stand by that, he’s right.” – Jack Whitten from an interview by Robert Storr, page. 60)

Sam Gilliam - American Contemporary Art Sam Gilliam (1933 – 2022) was an American color field painter and lyrical abstractionist artist. Gilliam was associated with the Washington Color School, a group of Washington, D.C.-area artists that developed a form of abstract art from color field painting in the 1950s and 1960s. His works have also been described as belonging to abstract expressionism and lyrical abstraction.[2] He worked on stretched, draped and wrapped canvas, and added sculptural 3D elements. He was recognized as the first artist to introduce the idea of a draped, painted canvas hanging without stretcher bars around 1965. This was a major contribution to the Color Field School and has had a lasting impact on the contemporary art canon #art #americanartist #artistic #fineart #artwork #painter #visualart #painting #abstraction #abstractart #abstractpainting #abstractartwork #colorfield #lyricalabstraction #contemporaryart #visualculture #culture #blog #artblog @expositionblog https://www.instagram.com/p/CisBx2moaOD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last week I walked into fabric stores in my area looking for patterns in cool colors. Even though I wasn't really feeling the yellow, I do love lines and angles so I couldn't ignore this textile. #ifychiejina #IfeatuanyaChiejina #americanartist #workinprogress #drawing #contemporaryart #mymom https://www.instagram.com/p/CiN41AEOFsu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

With the market for surrealism staying strong (see today’s Art of the Surreal auction at Christie’s), we suggest you take a look at our collection of works by the Russian-Jewish-American painter Nahum Tschacbasov. BTW, my wife loves this one from 1944–says it reminds her a bit of Frida Kahlo—so it must be good! #nahumtschacbasov #surreal #surrealism #artoftheday #interiordesign #artadvisory #artofthesurreal #figurativeart #russianartist #americanartist #jewishartist #paintingoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CpN3pZ3rWek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Birthday to Isamu Noguchi who was born on this day in 1904.
Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was one of the twentieth century’s most important and critically acclaimed sculptors. He created sculptures, gardens, furniture and lighting designs, ceramics, architecture, landscapes, and set designs with his own unique style of bold and modern aesthetics.
Noguchi was born in Los Angeles to Léonie Gilmour, a white American of mostly Irish descent born in Brooklyn, NY, and Yonejiro Noguchi, an influential Japanese writer of poetry, fiction, essays, and literary criticism in both English and Japanese. Noguchi moved to Japan with his mother at the age of two and lived there until the age of thirteen. In 1918, he returned alone to the United States to attend high school in Indiana. After high school, he moved to Connecticut and then to New York City to attend Columbia University, enrolling there as a premed student. He began taking evening sculpture classes at the Leonardo da Vinci School on the Lower East Side, and soon left the university to become a sculptor, supporting himself by making traditional portrait busts.
In 1926, Noguchi saw Constantin Brancusi’s work in an exhibition in New York. In 1927, he received a Guggenheim Fellowship and went to Paris to work in Brancusi’s studio. This experience profoundly changed his artistic direction, turning Noguchi toward modernism and abstraction.
This photo of the artist is from circa 1926 before he left for Paris. It shows the young artist looking at his work, which depicts a female nude in a traditional way. This work was later destroyed.
During the WWII, Noguchi became a political activist and co-founded Nisei Writers and Artists Mobilization for Democracy. He voluntarily entered the Poston concentration camp in Arizona and remained there for six months. (Summarized from Noguchi.org website)
Undine [destroyed] Noguchi, Isamu, 1904-1988, American [artist] American 1926 HOLLIS number: olvwork240109 Image title: Photo with artist [ca.1926]
This image is part of FAL’s Digital Images and Slides Collection (DISC), a collection of images digitized from secondary sources for use in teaching and learning. FAL does not own the original artworks represented in this collection, but you can find more information at HOLLIS Images.

Two circular photo-based mixed-media pieces, mounted on 6 inch diameter, 1 inch thick stained plywood. A combination of sensitized liquid emulsion, cyanotype, print toner and shellac. A loose commentary on surveillance and the legal system, these pieces can be mounted on the wall or viewed on a flat surface. #socialcommentaryart #survailance #collage #art #alternativeprocess #alternativeprocessphotography #mixedmedia #photographicarts #cyanotype #vandykebrownprint #liquidlight #altprocessphotography #artistsoninstagram #newenglandartist #americanartist #bostonartist (at Stephen Sheffield Photography & Fine Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cocapvmuaaf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
