The document discusses an art exhibition by Paul Harbutt at the John Davis Gallery in Hudson, NY. It summarizes that Harbutt's work is often violent, cynical, and ominous but also humorous. The current exhibition features six large semi-abstract canvases inspired by and dedicated to a recently deceased friend named Wendy. Though still dark and sad, the works redeem Harbutt's earlier misanthropy by being heartfelt tributes. They capture the spirit of the mysterious Wendy and the culture she walked through, with the intent to honor friendship, idea to reflect on life, and execution that is elegant yet uncontrolled.

Colonial Empires About 1900
This map is really important in understanding how non-Western cultures would have a profound impact on art of the early 20th century. Africa, in particular, was divided among many nations with France taking a huge chunk. Many items would be imported into Europe and would inspire artists like Picasso and Matisse, as you will see.
HENRI MATISSE, Luxe, calme et volupté, 1904-5
Fauvism:
Bold colors of Van Gogh, but used them as complete artistic expression; figure was secondary to color, form, and line; combination of subjective expression and pure optical sensation
Called the fauves by critics who thought the artists like Matisse painted like wild beasts
Combination of Impressionism’s love of nature with Post-Impressionism’s love of expressive color; influenced by African art
Impression upon other coming of age avant-garde artists who were trying to take what Cézanne started even further
Not an entirely cohesive movement as the artists all had their own personal agendas
Henri Matisse first studied law, but in 1891 enrolled in art school and studied under Bouguereau (whose idea later rejected) then studied with Moreau in 1892 who encouraged him to follow his own direction. Later he would experiment with non-descriptive color. He met Andre Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck in 1900 who would also work in the fauvist style.
I’m showing you other works by Matisse so that you get a sense of how much he experimented during the first decade of the 20th century. This piece is a radical reinterpretation of French pastoral landscape painting. We have nudes who don’t have a care in the world, an idyllic female world. There are staccato brushstrokes and color straight from the paint tube applied in a rainbow of colors.
HENRI MATISSE, Blue Nude: Memory of Biskra, 1907
Influences of African art can be seen in the exaggeration of the female body, especially in the breasts and buttocks, and in the mask-like face. The extreme position of the body makes it look like the figure is composed of different people. The color is inherently Fauve in that it isn’t descriptive of nature. This is part of the odalisque tradition, but his painting isn’t seductive and erotic because Matisse believed that he was creating a picture, not a woman.
Figure 24-3 HENRI MATISSE, Red Room (Harmony in Red), 1908–1909. Oil on canvas, approx.
5’ 11” x 8’ 1”. State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg.
This painting is more abstract. The use of color is very unconventional and gives the painting a sense of flatness. It is more decorative in surface patterning; a new pictorial space is defined by color and line. Matisse is doing something important here: he’s tell you that you’re looking at a painting, not an actual view of the world. By emphasizing the flatness of the surface, he’s emphasizing that it is a thing in and of itself.

Stephen Burt, a poet and Harvard professor of English, has compared the now famous poet John Ashbery(1927- ) to T. S. Eliot, calling Ashbery "the last figure whom half the English-language poets alive thought a great model, and the other half thought incomprehensible." Ashbery's ncreasing critical recognition by the 1970s transformed him from an obscure avant-garde experimentalist into one of America's most important poets, though still one of its most controversial.
I am in the group who has always and at least, thusfar, found him incomprehensible. He and his work intrigue me more and more since I first came across him while teaching English Literature in the 1990s to matriculation students in Perth Western Australia and now, in these years of my retirement from the world of FT, PT and casual-paid employment: 2006 to 2014.
The play of the human mind, which is the subject of a great many of his poems, is also the subject of my poems. Ashbery once said that his goal was "to produce a poem that the critic cannot even talk about." I, too, find it difficult to talk about his poetry, but I talk about what others say and have written about his work because I find their talk, their writing, throws light, in an indirect sort of way, on my pieces of poetic-writing.

Art and about: Weird and wonderful Wendy
by John Isaacs
I had three very different mentors in my study of the philosophy of art,
each with a different mindset, based in law, theatre, and history, but they
all suggested that the central factor in art criticism is psychology.
Creativity, they asserted, is the expression of unconscious impulses. To be
honest, I was never convinced by the Freudian premise, even while it was
fashionable.
Nowadays, though, I’m more frequently disillusioned by the vacuous
pretension of so much art criticism that glorifies style over analysis.
Surely, there’s a middle way. I’m of the school that looks at art through
three prisms: the intent, the idea, and the execution. I wouldn’t dismiss the
psychological component, but I would ground it less in the unconscious
and more in temperament.
I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on “style”. Style’s a complex subject,
and I’m still, decades later, trying to get my head around it. But if ever
2. there’s a constant aspect of style, temperament is visible in all great art.
Compare the mercurial Turner to the languid Constable. Consider the fiery
Goya. The unstoppable Picasso.
Like Pablo, Paul Harbutt is a compulsive painter. A fellow north Londoner,
trained at the Royal College at the same the time I was soaking up theory at
the Courtauld Institute, his compulsions were already in full fling. A
frenetically productive image-maker with apparently endless imagination,
he, as did I, moved to New York in the early seventies, but then went on to
Seville, and Rome in particular, where he fashioned a style very much his
own, but rooted in Italian surrealism.
I have another esteemed artist friend, whose name I’ll not mention, but
who aficionados will recognize. A quiet, gentle man, he paints exquisite
small canvasses of bottles and ceramics bathed in Mediterranean light, and
languorous, scantily clothed young women lounging in Apennine
landscapes. His style perfectly reflects his temperament, and love for the
nicer, gently seasoned side of earthly life.
Harbutt’s more on the mercurial orbit, that much closer to the sun. Rarely
lyrical but always ingenious, his work is most often violent, cynical, and
ominous, even if often a bit humorous, even cartoonish. You never know
what you’re going to run into. It’s a hair-raising ride, which occasionally
falls prey to sensationalism. In recent work, however, his mood, as he
grows older, seems to have tempered some.
His series of six large semi-abstract canvasses, inspired by and dedicated to
a friend who died recently, is currently exhibited at the John Davis Gallery
in Hudson. Wendy was Australian, but she could be Dora Maar. And the
mangled lines that suffuse these works could be aboriginal. The imagery is
still dark and sad, but whatever misanthropy animated Harbutt’s earlier
work is redeemed by these heartfelt, fully conscious, skillful and evocative
tributes.
I’ve never visited weird and wonderful Australia, and have no idea who
Wendy might have been. But in his weird and wonderful images,
convoluted though they are, Harbutt captures the culture, and the spirit of
the mysterious woman who walked and waltzed through it. The intent, to
honor a deep friendship, is evident and evocative. The idea, to reflect on a
life, is clear and authentic. The execution, at once elegant and
uncontrolled, is appropriate, and without pretension. Such delightfully
idiosyncratic works are the marks of a temperamentally mature artist.
