Krátky popis
An absorbing group biography revealing how exiles from war-torn
France brought Surrealism to America, helping to shift the centre
of the art world from Paris to New York and spark the movement that
became Abstract Expressionism. In 1957 the American artist Robert
Motherwell made an unexpected claim: 'I have only known two
painting milieus well ... the Parisian Surrealists, with whom I
began painting seriously in New York in 1940, and the native
movement that has come to be known as ",abstract expressionism",,
but which genetically would have been more properly called
",abstract surrealism",.' Motherwell's bold assertion, that
Abstract Expressionism was neither new nor local, but born of a
brief liaison between America and France, verged on the
controversial.Surrealists in New York tells the story of this
'liaison' and the European exiles who bought Surrealism with them -
an artistic exchange between the Old World and the New - centring
on taciturn printmaker Stanley William Hayter and the legendary
Atelier 17 print studio he founded. Here artists' experiments
literally pushed the boundaries of modern art. It was in Hayter's
studio that Jackson Pollock found the balance of freedom and
control that would culminate in his distinctive drip paintings.The
impact of Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Louise Bourgeois and other noted
emigres on the work of Motherwell, Pollock, Mark Rothko and the
American avant-garde has for too long been quietly written out of
art history. Drawing on first-hand documents, interviews and
archive materials, Charles Darwent brings to life the events and
personalities from this crucial encounter. In so doing, he reveals
a fascinating new perspective on the history of the art of the
twentieth century.
