Articoli correlati a Earl Cunningham's America
Earl Cunningham's America presents Cunningham as a folk modernist who used the flat space and brilliant color typical of Matisse and Van Gogh to create sophisticated compositions. Wendell Garrett brings his broad knowledge of decorative arts and folk art to bear, placing Cunningham in a context of ideas and events. Virginia Mecklenburg, senior curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, traces Cunningham's life and situates his work in the context of the folk art revival that brought Edward Hicks, Grandma Moses, and Horace Pippin to national attention. Carolyn Weekley, director of museums at Colonial Williamsburg, shows how Cunningham's style developed over the course of his career.
The catalogue accompanies an exhibition of Cunningham's work that opens in Washington, D.C. in the summer of 2007. The show will feature fifty of the more than 450 works Cunningham produced. His imaginary landscapes are marvels of the unexpected and unlikely. Pink flamingos dot the shoreline of the Maine coast. New England cottages sit at the edge of Florida swamps, and Seminole Indians wear feathered headdresses. In this make-believe world, Cunningham merged past and present and defined time by sunsets, dawns, seasons, and storms.

Descrizione libro gebunden. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Earl Cunningham (1893-1977) malte das ländliche, traditionelle und maritime Amerika in den Farben, Formen und der Flächigkeit der Moderne - geschult an Werken von Matisse und Van Gogh. Als kreativer, exzentrischer und rastloser junger Mann lernte Cunningham Automechaniker und Bootskapitän. Im Jahre 1949 zog er nach St. Augustine, Florida, wo er einen Antiquitäten- und Kuriositätenladen eröffnete. Dort jedoch stellte er auch seine eigenen Gemälde aus, die bald legendär und begehrt wurden. Als Autodidakt war er frei von irgendwelchen »-ismen«, seine Koloristik ist leuchtend und schlägt einen in den Bann, wie der vorliegende Band beweist.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 160 pp. Color illus.& plates. From the publisher: Catalogue to the Smithsonian American Art Museum's exhibition of the same name. Earl Cunningham (1893-1997) was a folk modernist who used the flat space and brilliant color typical of Matisse and Van Gogh to create sophisticated compositions. A creative, eccentric, and restless young man, Cunningham studied automobile mechanics and coastal navigation, earned a license as a harbor and river pilot, and worked on a schooner that carried cargo between Maine and Florida. In 1949, he moved to St. Augustine, Florida, and opened an antique shop and art gallery, which he dubbed Over Fork Gallery. There he displayed crockery, toleware, old photographs, magazines, and tools (all of which were for sale), and his own paintings, which were not. In Earl Cunninghan's America, scholars trace the development of Cunningham's style through his career and explore his life, placing his work in the context of the folk art revival that brought Edward Hicks, Grandma Moses, and Horace Pippin to national attention.
