COLLECTION SPOTLIGHT THE AMAZING ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
George Grosz’s Eclipse of the Sun is among the most significant paintings in a public collection on Long Island and one of the masterpieces of 20th-century art. The Heckscher Museum has a long history with the renowned artist. Eclipse of the Sun is the cornerstone of the Permanent Collection, and Grosz played a meaningful role in the evolution of the Museum.
George Grosz, Eclipse of the Sun, 1926, detail, oil on canvas. Heckscher Museum of Art.
George Grosz (1893-1959) was a leader in the Dada art movement in 1920s Berlin. He left Germany shortly before Hitler came to power. Grosz was invited to teach at the Art Students League of New York and moved with his wife to the United States in 1933.
WHAT DOES THE PAINTING MEAN?
Ecplise of the Sun is currently on loan to the Neue Galerie, New York City, which added richer context to the meaning of the painting: “In Eclipse of the Sun, Grosz vividly captures the rampant political and social corruption that characterized Germany in the mid-1920s. The central figure depicted is Paul von Hindenburg, president of Germany at the time and recognizable for his walrus moustache. He proudly wears his military uniform, bedecked with medals and with a laurel leaf crown perched atop his bald head. His physique is in sharp contrast to the group of slim and headless financiers in formal attire who join at the table. They bask in the glow of a darkened sun illuminated with a dollar sign—an acknowledgment of America’s investment in Germany post-World War I. A corpulent “man of industry,” wearing a top hat and toting weapons and a miniature train under his arm, whispers discreetly in Hindenburg’s ear. A donkey wearing blinders decorated with the German eagle is balanced on a board tethered to a skeleton. The other participant in this motley group is a more somberly dressed but also headless man whose foot rests precariously on the prison bars below. In the aftermath of World War I, many artists moved away from an Expressionist approach in favor of one marked by a more harsh and Grosz put extensive detail in Eclipse of the Sun.

objective depiction of the world, which became known as the New Objectivity movement. Grosz, in particular, used his vision in a scathing critique of the regime. This made his life more difficult, and he ultimately chose emigration in order to ensure greater artistic freedom.”
fund-raising effort to purchase the painting for the Museum's collection. More than 213 local residents, school children, and even then Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller contributed to the cause. The painting was purchased in 1968 for $15,000.
THE LORE OF ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
In 1947, Grosz moved to the cottage of the Hilaire Farm Estate in Huntington, and lived there until he returned to Berlin in 1959. Grosz remodeled the cottage into a two-story studio where he worked and taught. The artist also taught art at the Museum through the Huntington Township Art League. He juried art exhibitions and was influential in the full-time reopening of the Museum after World War II. There are now 16 works of art by Grosz in the Permanent Collection. Grosz died in Berlin in 1959, just months after his return to Germany.
Grosz brought Eclipse of the Sun (Sonnenfinsternis in German) to America, but after his death the painting was believed to be lost. In the late 1940s, the painting came into the possession of housepainter Thomas Constantine, who had it rolled up in his Long Island garage for years. When finally rediscovered, it was shown at the Harbor Gallery in Cold Spring Harbor. Eva Gatling, the Museum’s first professional director, spearheaded a local

Exhibitions
August 24 to November 17 Long before blockbuster superhero movies, those looking for that adrenaline rush turned to Stag, Male, and For Men Only magazines, among others, featuring headlines that screamed adventure. The illustrations of men in combat, scantily clad women in distress, and nature threatening man drew readers in and firmly established the genre of pulp fiction art. A prolific illustrator, Mort Künstler was so good that there were instances when his carefully detailed illustrations in these magazines actually inspired the story, rather than the other way around. During his long career, Künstler worked with many illustrators, publishers, and authors, including Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather, who wrote in the same magazines under the pen name Mario Cleri. Some of the illustrations in the exhibition are based on real events: for instance, the sinking of the USS Indianapolis during World War II. Künstler drew real and imagined scenes from WW II and illustrated stories about daring escapes and bold bank heists, creating a large portfolio of illustrations. This is the first time many of these works will be seen in public. Künstler also illustrated books, including a serialization of The Godfather, long before the movie franchise. His vision comes amazingly close to how the characters eventually appeared in the movies. Künstler has a loyal following of collectors of this genre, but he is perhaps best known as a painter of history, especially for Civil War inspired subjects. In fact, one of his paintings was used on a U.S. postage stamp. His art of the American Revolution was featured in The Heckscher Museum exhibition Mort Künstler: A New Nation, in 2016.

A Brush with HerStory PAINTINGS BY GABRIELA GONZALEZ DELLOSSO AUGUST 31 TO NOVEMBER 10 Gabriela Gonzalez Dellosso is a contemporary figure painter with remarkable art historical knowledge. This exhibition focuses on the artist’s homage works, which pay tribute to great female painters from the Renaissance through the modern era. Dellosso often melds her own image with artists from the past, creating selfportraits conveying the inspiring stories of historical women. Also included is work from the artist’s most recent series, Homage Ode, which takes the form of illuminated manuscripts featuring poetry inspired by select historical artists. The artists she portrays may not be household names, but they have fascinating stories.
ONE WOMAN’S STORY Dellosso cites the life and work of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard (1749-1803), as the primary inspiration for her homage series. Labille-Guiard was a renowned artist and a member of both the Guild Académie de Saint-Luc in Paris and the French Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Dellosso depicts the moment in Labille-Guiard’s life in which her monumental painting, Reception of a Chevalier de Saint-Lazare by Monsieur, Grand Master of the Order, is destroyed during the French Revolution. In their zeal to destroy everything associated with the monarchy, revolutionaries torched the painting in 1793. Labille-Guiard had spent more than two years on the painting, and was so devastated that she never again attempted such a large work. Only a small sketch of the painting survives, which Dellosso used as reference. Dellosso depicts herself as Labille-Guiard supported by her friend and student Marie Gabrielle Capet. Dellosso studied many portraits of Labille-Guiard and even had a seamstress recreate the blue dress featured in Labille-Guiard’s painting Self Portrait with Two Pupils, 1785. The dress is also in the exhibition.

Stan Brodsky Scholarship Award LOND ISLAND'S BEST: YOUNG ARTISTS AT THE HECKSCHER MUSEUM The Heckscher Museum is pleased to announce the creation of the Long Island’s Best Stan Brodsky Scholarship Award, established in memory of the incredible life and legacy of artist and Huntington native Stan Brodsky (1924-2019). Brodsky’s impact during his lifetime was vast. He touched the lives of many whether through his expressive artwork during his career of over 50 years; his powerful influence as an educator at Long Island University, the Art League of Long Island, and beyond; or his spectacular passion for supporting his local community of artists and art lovers. From early in his career, Brodsky was an enthusiastic supporter of The Heckscher Museum. The Museum has included Brodsky’s work in many group exhibitions such as the Long Island Biennial and showcased his art in solo exhibitions including Transformations into Color (1991) and most recently, Stan Brodsky: Retrospective, which dovetailed with Stan being selected as an honoree of the 2013 Celebrate Achievement Benefit. The Museum will honor Brodsky’s monumental influence on Long Island’s artistic community through the creation of this scholarship. Brodsky was a passionate supporter of the annual Long Island’s Best: Young Artists at The Heckscher Museum exhibition and throughout his career focused on empowering emerging artists, giving them the tools and drive to succeed in following their dreams. Donate to the scholarship fund today and help the Museum recognize the lasting impact of Stan Brodsky’s life and work.

Floral designers from the North Country Garden Club and the Three Harbors Garden Club were inspired by artwork in the exhibition In a New Light: American Impressionism 1870 – 1940, Works from the Bank of America Collection. Using a diverse array of flowers, the garden club designers presented ten stunning arrangements reflecting the color, form, and texture of the paintings.
The event, on June 8 and 9, beautifully combined art and nature. The North Country Garden Club chose Gifford Beal’s Garden Beach, 1925, as one of its inspiration pieces. “The abundance of lines and curls in our roses, carnations, delphinium, and hyacinth petals mimic the brush strokes and energy that Beal portrays,” noted designers Jess Green and Abby Wier.
Three Harbors Garden Club interpreted Philip Little’s Untitled (Fishing Boats), 1938. “Most of [Little’s] artworks were crafted to capture the movement of water. The floral design attempts to capture a boat floating in the sea and the movement of a net cast over water,” said Vasana Hildebrand, creative team lead for the arrangement. Sponsored by Robin T. Hadley and Patricia P. Sands
