Russel Wright (1904-1976)
American Modern Pottery by Bauer
USA, 1937
“In 1937, Wright designed the iconic American Modern dinnerware. The ceramic line came in a variety of soft pastels and earth tones with biomorphic shapes influenced by the surrealist Jean Arp. George Nelson attributed the designs of Wright as responsible for the American “shift towards the modern in the 1930s.” Wright’s mantra was “good design is for everyone” and in 1949 he created a new dishwasher-safe line. In 1950, the Wrights published their Guide to Easier Living, which laid out how to entertain guests in a suburban home. He began to experiment with the new medium of plastic, and his Flair line of melamine dishes was released in 1959. In 1965, he retired from designing and moved from New York to his summer home in Manitoga. Wright passed away in 1976. The Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design in New York honored Russel Wright with a retrospective of his objects in 2001. His work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum, New York, among many others.”
“The biomorphic forms and softly vibrant color palette of Wright's American Modern service, made of sturdy and inexpensive earthenware, made it one of the most popular ceramic services ever created. The highly sculptural forms of some the pieces in this service, including the teardrop-shaped pitcher with elongated spout, were unlike any other products on the market. Wright promoted the service in novel ways, including offering a starter set of twelve pieces, to which consumers could add over time as their budget and lifestyle dictated. American Modern also came in six interchangeable colors, increasing consumer flexibility in assembling their services. As the best-selling ceramic service ever, Wright's dinnerware proved to be an especially successful example of the Good Design movement, which sought to make well-designed, modern goods available to consumers at every price point.”
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Ward Bennett (1917-2003)
Double Helix Stainless Steel Flatware Set, 1985
Sasaki, Japan
“I design interiors and furniture and flatware and so forth, but I think the way I live is maybe the most meaningful.”
- Ward Bennett
Bennett is credited as an American pioneer in the use of industrial materials for home furnishings – a prime example being his early ’60s I Beam Table, which employs a section of beam for a base.
Many his designs are in the permanent collection MoMA The Museum of Modern Art and the #cooperhewitt museum.
“There was nothing superfluous about Ward’s designs, nothing ‘extra,’” says Tim deFiebre, Bennett’s former assistant and keeper of his legacy. “They were always honed down to their bare essence.”

GEORGIA O' KEEFFE (1887–1986) Black Mesa (1,739 m - 5,705 feet) United States of America (Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma) In “Near Abiquiu, New Mexico”, 1931 Oil on canvas, 0.6 x 91.4 cm, Georgia O' Keeffe Museum 
Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most significant and intriguing artists of the twentieth century, known internationally for her boldly innovative art. Her distinct flowers, dramatic cityscapes, glowing landscapes, and images of bones against the stark desert sky are iconic and original contributions to American Modernism. Born on November 15, 1887, the second of seven children, Georgia Totto O’Keeffe grew up on a farm near Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. She studied at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1905-1906 and the Art Students League in New York in 1907-1908. Under the direction of William Merritt Chase, F. Luis Mora, and Kenyon Cox she learned the techniques of traditional realist painting. The direction of her artistic practice shifted dramatically in 1912 when she studied the revolutionary ideas of Arthur Wesley Dow. Dow’s emphasis on composition and design offered O’Keeffe an alternative to realism. She experimented for two years, while she taught art in South Carolina and west Texas. Seeking to find a personal visual language through which she could express her feelings and ideas, she began a series of abstract charcoal drawings in 1915 that represented a radical break with tradition and made O’Keeffe one of the very first American artists to practice pure abstraction. O’Keeffe mailed some of these highly abstract drawings to a friend in New York City, who showed them to Alfred Stieglitz. An art dealer and internationally known photographer, he was the first to exhibit her work in 1916. He would eventually become O’Keeffe’s husband. In the summer of 1929, O’Keeffe made the first of many trips to northern New Mexico. The stark landscape, distinct indigenous art, and unique regional style of adobe architecture inspired a new direction in O’Keeffe’s artwork. For the next two decades she spent part of most years living and working in New Mexico . She made the state her permanent home in 1949, three years after Stieglitz’s death. O’Keeffe’s New Mexico paintings coincided with a growing interest in regional scenes by American Modernists seeking a distinctive view of America. Her simplified and refined representations of this region express a deep personal response to the high desert terrain...

Elaine de Kooning on Stuart Davis, in the April 1957 issue of ARTnews:
His is an art of solid certainties.
His subject has always been America—not America as seen in American art but as seen on a walk down Broadway or a drive past a harbor in a fishing village. He resists art by being true to life.More intensely than any painter in our history, he offers a specific, objective, national experience. It is the experience not of our natural landscape but of America as man-made. The brittle animation of his art relates to jazz, to movie marquees, to the streamlined decor and brutal colors of gasoline stations, to the glare of neon lights, to the flamboyant sweep of three-level parkways, to the fool-proof shine of stainless steel diners, to the big, bright words that are shouted at us from billboards from one end of the country to the other.
His style developed between two continents and two wars, is as insistently remote from the Synthetic Cubism that was his starting point as it is from the American Action-Painting that surrounds him today.

1962 | The Charles Sheeler Collection
Tumblr media
Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) rose to fame in the 1920s as part of the Precisionism art movement. His realistic paintings and photographs of factories, turbines, and barns have minimal detail, focusing instead on the shape, simplicity, and geometry of architecture and industrial design. Along with fellow American modernists, Sheeler greatly admired the Shaker aesthetic. He described their architecture as examples of “utilitarian design” and “rightness of proportion,” often painting and photographing the Shaker sites at New Lebanon, New York, and Hancock, Massachusetts in the 1930s.
Sheeler also collected Shaker furniture for his home, and 15 of those pieces found their way into the collections of Hancock Shaker Village. The objects first arrived at the Village as part of a loan in 1962 and, subsequently, were purchased in 1963 for $10,000. When Sheeler’s gallerist offered to sell the collection to the Village, Amy Bess Miller raised the funds by calling on friends and collectors to donate -- notably the Rockerfellers. Though the Charles Sheeler Collection is small, the pieces are exceptional examples of Shaker design, and many have clear Hancock provenance. Unfortunately, Sheeler never saw his objects on display back home in the Brick Dwelling, he died in 1965 of a stroke before he could visit the Village.

AMERICAN MODERNISM
At the Dawn of a New Age
Early Twentieth-Century American Modernism
Whitney Museum of American Art
99 Gansevoort Street NYC
8th Floor
In many cases the art in this exhibition celebrates a mood of optimism and confidence as America became the worlds largest industrial power while simultaneously struggling with issues of racial, social and economic injustice.
The exhibition showcases non-representational American art produced between 1900-1930 drawn primarily from the Whitney’s permanent collection. The influences of European abstraction were manifest in a uniquely American perspective.
Thrilling!

Georgia O’Keefe, is one of the most significant and intriguing artists of the twentieth century. O’Keefe is known for lush fantastical paintings of flowers, scenery and the American Southwest that led her to be dubbed the “mother of American modernism.”O’Keeffe spent much of her career rallying against the persistent gender divide in the avant-garde art world. She died March 6, 1986, at the age of 98. . . #georgiaokeefe #art #americanmodernism #paintings #artist #womenempowerment #georgiaokeeffe #equalrights #women #womenshistorymonth #genderdivide #womenshistorymonth2019 #americansouthwest #womenartists (at Port Orange, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buta_0rlveD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sr9hgtzhxt2c
