Boundless Art and the Expansive Eye 1

Boundless Art and the Expansive Eye “The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless.”

–Jean-Jacques Rousseau

R

eality has been sobering lately. Navigating the last year or two, for all of us, has required imagination. Never have I been more grateful for the life-giving, perspective-broadening world of art.

Historically, art can be found at the forefront of expansive thinking. From the turn of the century to present day there isn’t an artist in this catalogue who hasn’t pushed the limits of creative expression and wrestled to visualize new ideas and practices. Each new art movement builds on the one before it and stretches the viewer to see.

In the boundless expanse of West Texas we can see a long way. It was certainly an expansive idea for me to embrace my dream and build a gallery here. I have been overwhelmed by your support and interest the last three years. So many of you have found your way regularly to BSFA for openings and events. A number of you stop by for peaceful respites and interesting conversation. Some of you in other states and cities make me a resource for art of the highest quality. Many of you have added to your collections and are living with great art. It gives me such pleasure to be part of that spark of connection between art and viewer!

For those of you who are new to Baker Schorr, our inventory features twentieth century modern art, with a focus on post-war American abstraction; and contemporary art, including both twentieth century works and works by current practicing artists.

Our collection also includes nineteenth century American and European paintings.

Art is life-giving. The possibilities are boundless.

I hope you will be open to all that Baker Schorr Fine Art has to offer this year and may you take to heart these words by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

“One should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. ”

Kathryn Schorr Baker Schorr Fine Art, Midland, Texas October, 2021

Modern The Modern Art movement emerged in 1872 with the emphasis on color, light and blurred brushstrokes of Impressionism. French painters like Monet, Degas and Renoir were at the forefront of this new era when artists were reinterpreting and challenging the rules of realistic academic painting.

The Modern art genre included several major movements including Post-impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and by the middle of the twentieth century, Abstract Expressionism. Abstract expressionists abandoned figurative styles in favor of an emphasis on color, form, composition, emotion, and the creative process.

R

ecognized as an important modernist, Karl Knaths applied his system of color theory to his paintings, which were highly Cubist in style. He was a favorite of patron Duncan Phillips (Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.), who purchased the first painting that Knaths sold in 1926, as well as many subsequent works.

Originally from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Knaths lived in Provincetown, Massachusetts from 1919 until his death in 1971. He was one of the first Americans whose work found its way into Albert Gallatin’s Gallery of Living Art and was affiliated with the American Abstract Artists. He exhibited in New York to positive reviews and benefitted from the valuable support of Duncan Phillips, who not only purchased his paintings, but invited him frequently to lecture at the Phillips Museum. In October 1945, Knaths exhibited in a group show at the Paul Rosenberg Gallery. The following January, he had the first of twenty-two solo exhibitions—almost one each year—until his death twenty-five years later.

Knaths was one of the most theoretically-inclined painters of his generation. He worked out intricate charts for color and musical ratios, which he used to determine directional lines and proportions in his paintings.

“Space, color and form…they work together to create the magical unity, the work of art.”

–John Little

A

student of Hans Hofmann, Little explored the tension between space, form and color i n his work . This early 194 8 canvas conveys interlocking forms in a cubist composition. By the 1950s John Little’s style shifted to gestural abstraction (see pages 16 and 17).

Little maintained a close friendship with Jackson Pollack. The two had a joint exhibition at Guild Hall in 1955. Little’s work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, among others.

A

student of the Orientalist painter Benjamin Constant and French academic painter Jules Lefebre at the Académie Julian in Paris, Louis Abel-Truchet is hailed as a prominent figure in the teeming art world of Paris in the latter half of the 19th century and early 20th century.

From 1891 onward, the young AbelTruchet exhibited his work at various Salons, including the Salon d’Automne, the Salon des Humoristes (of which he was one of the founders), the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and the Salon des Artistes Français.

Though Abel-Truchet did many depictions of the Moulin Rouges, Folies Bergère and Cirque Médrano, his work reflected the liveliness of Paris’ streets and cafes without the harsh judgement or satire that his contemporary Toulouse-Lautrec often depicted.

A

n important Texas Abstractionist, Dorothy Hood was born in Bryan, Texas. Her life and work encompassed much of the twentieth century in Mexico and the United States where she was regarded as a pioneer for her use of intense color and daring techniques. She was a prolific painter who created many large-scale canvases.

Hood traveled to Mexico in 1941 after studies at the Rhode Island School of Design and Art Students League, New York City.

She became part of a circle of leading European and Mexican artists and writers. She eventually settled in Houston where she was a prominent instructor at the Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

O

f German-born Wolf Kahn, art historian and curator William Agee relates, “He suffered through the Nazi horrors until he escaped as a refugee... and got to America in 1940 as a teenager who had literally been given a new life. It is little wonder then that he believes so deeply that painting must celebrate art and, more than anything, life itself.”

Known to balance his color palette with unmatched finesse, Wolf Kahn’s paintings have a life-giving luminosity unsurpassed by other artists. His well-balanced colorist technique has made him one of the most influential American artists of our generation.

A student of Hans Hofmann, Kahn forged a style that was both representational and Abstract Expressionistic.

Contemporary Contemporary Art refers to art— painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance, and video art—produced in current day. Many art historians consider the late 1960s (the end of Modern Art or Modernism) to be the starting point of the Contemporary Art genre. In reaction to the preceeding Modern Art movement, Pop Art emerged.

Pioneered by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, pop artists were interested in portraying mass culture. Other contemporary art movements include Photo Realism, Conceptualism, Minimalism, Performance Art, Installation Art, Earth Art, and Street Art.

Abstract Expressionism describes a movement in American painting that flourished in New York City after World War II, also known as the New York School.

These artists used abstraction, often on largescale canvases, to convey emotional content.

Emphasizing the physical interaction of artist, paint and canvas, abstract expressionists conveyed meaning through the color, texture and application of the paint itself. Given the cultural climate of the time, the movement centered on unfettered artistic freedom and had resonance in many mediums including drawing and sculpture.

Within Abstract Expressionism were two broad groupings—Action painters, led by artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, who attacked their canvases with expressive gestural marks and brush strokes; and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still, whose work was characterized by large areas of flat color, sometimes evoking a meditative response from the viewer.
