“This is the best of stories…now to be seen through a looking glass, over the shoulder, backwards to understanding.”

—Jean Lasher Gaede 2

Woodstock owes much of its current reputation as “The Colony of the Arts” to the remarkable writer and gentle gentleman Hervey White (1866–1944). Hervey came here with Ralph Whitehead and Bolton Brown to found the Byrdcliffe Arts Thought by and Crafts Colony in 1903 before many as the first buying land nearby to start his hippie, Hervey own community, the Maverick helped young Colony. Thought by many as the first hippie, Hervey helped talented musicians, young talented musicians, writers & artists writers and artists by building them houses on his land, charging $100 a year if they could pay, and nothing if they couldn’t.

The first Maverick Festival in 1915 came out of necessity.

After building over 20 houses, a water well was needed and 500 feet of drilling cost $1500.

The idea to raise money was hatched, to hold a festival charging a small entrance fee for those in costume and double the fee for those not.

The festival was so successful Hervey White photo by Konrad Cramer it continued on for 16 more years before being shut down for “debauchery.” (See Barry Samuels’ story on page 12.)

Jean & Eileen Lasher at a Maverick Festival is from the Maverick Notebooks at Woodstock Artists Association & Museum.

“On a full moon in August, musicians from the Metropolitan Opera were tuning up while artists made sets, posters and banners. The musicians descended into a pit that had been dug down into a field below the quarry wall…The woods were darkening but we could see they were carrying musical instruments... The men had to remain standing to play them with their bows held ready in silence. They were ready to go to work now. And right in this instant there was that breathholding moment before they started to play, and like them, I, too was holding my breath!... they began emitting wonderful clucking and plucking sounds into the night... I held myself on full alert sucking in the starry sky until it burned my throat and filled my chest... the entire scene was lit by a truly magical light, an amalgamation of the mixes of the merry-go-round feeling of the moment.”

4

Jean Lasher Gaede wrote about this imaginary evening based on recalled memories from the last Maverick Festival in 1931 when she attended at age 6.

And always the host selecting & embellishing the story...

Jean remembers, “The Festivals got us through two wars and many depressions of all kinds and kept the town repartee fattened and refreshed. Everybody of every age got lost in dreaming of the Festivals, the first Festival and the next Festival, the just past Festival and the next Festival! Every year there was a different story played out against some elaborate backdrop built and polished for whatever occasion of real life that it warned against the danger of, the danger of armies, pilgrims, frivolity, pirates, the man next door... And always the host selecting and embellishing the story, creating and hatching the theme, providing breath-catching settings for each new festival. The host who understood what the human heart longs for, who cheered the faltering struggle, who laughed with all of them, who wept with all of them, who provided a place to rest, a place to play and to work, shared always a cup of tea, who loved and kept the music playing... Hervey White.”

Jean, now nearing 90, and the departed Fritzi Striebel spent much of their lives documenting Hervey and all things dealing with the Maverick. An extensive archive, the Maverick Notebooks, is housed at the Woodstock Artists Association & Museum (WAAM) in the center of Woodstock.

Regarding White, Jean wrote in 2005, “We celebrate one hundred years of Hervey White and marvel at his Maverick Colony. He did get a Utopia. It was formed by the crystallization of his unique view of life… and of his celebration of all human beings, being human. He was a graceful spirit leavened by robust good humor!

He set us a ‘high style.’”

We feel the same today about Jean.

Woodstock is often described as a state of mind—one that revels in creative freedom, social liberation, peaceful co-existence and a literal back-to-the-garden sensibility.

The 1969 Woodstock Festival imprinted this ideal on hearts and minds Hervey White around the world.

channeled the counterculture We here in the beautiful zeitgeist of the time town of Woodstock into an annual summer know that the genesis of pilgrimage event this utopian state of mind was defined by the exploits of a rare and remarkable man— Hervey White—the rebel founder of Woodstock’s Maverick Colony and instigator of the renowned Maverick Festival now celebrating its 100th anniversary.

In 1915, Europe was in the throes of the First World War and prevailing social and artistic mores were breaking down here and abroad. Woodstock poet, philosopher and social activist Hervey White channeled the counterculture zeitgeist of the time into an annual summer pilgrimage event. His Maverick Festivals became notorious, full-moon bacchanalia that for 17 years could be counted on as a night of raucous revelry, where creatively costumed (and frequently unclothed) participants enjoyed avant-garde theatrical spectacles and world-class music and artistic comaraderie.

White declared himself and his colony of kindred bohemian souls “mavericks”—an allusion to his early poetic rendering of a young spirited colt, free of ties to the branded herd and human bondage. At his Maverick Colony, surrounded by the raw beauty and peace of the Catskill Mountains, artists, writers and musicians were free to challenge the bondage of artistic convention without financial concern. At his Maverick Festivals, members of the public enjoyed a taste of that bohemian freedom in rustic simplicity. In exchange, they helped fund the mounting operating expenses needed of the growing colony.

Earnest Brace, Florence Cramer, Reeves Brace, Konrad Cramer, Helen Walters, Eugenie Gershoy, Harry Gottlieb, Margie Barnes.

In the August 25th, 1915 edition of The New York Times, the first Maverick Festival was announced as “...a fête patterned after the European fair.” The posting went on to describe the bucolic setting of the colony nestled on the south slope of Ohayo Mountain and noted the contributions of the Woodstock organizers of the groundbreaking 1913 Armory Show: “A theatre has been constructed in a stone quarry in the side of a hill. The rock walls of the quarry provide excellent acoustics, and its shape adapts it for use as a theatre. It has been decorated in the style of the modernists by Andrew Dasburg and H. L. McFee, artists and Ilonka Karasz, a poster artist of note. In the fields and groves below the quarry spacious picnic grounds have been arranged.”

8

White intended the Festival to be more than a gathering for passive spectators. Attendees would be fully engaged participants in the all-night revels:

Those attending the festival have been asked to come in fancy costume, or at least to dress comfortably without regard for convention

“Those attending the festival have been asked to come in fancy costume, or at least to dress comfortably without regard for convention, and to bring articles to sell. In the afternoon there will be a pageant and concert within the theatre... a costume ball will end the day’s festivities.�

That Saturday evening, Lada, an American dancer compared favorably at the time to Isadora Duncan, performed a program of dances by moonlight. Accompanied by conductor Leon Barzin and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Russian opera singer and Maverick colonist Madame Mieler-Narodny sang to acclaim. The raucous costume ball that followed lasted until dawn.

In the years to follow, the Maverick Festival expanded its tradition of exciting and socially unconventional theatrical presentations and daring nocturnal revelry to a growing, enthusiastic audience. Along with the season-long Maverick Concerts series founded the following year, summer at the Maverick Colony vibrated with energetic artistic collaboration and controversy. Maverick residents prepared presentations

Noted Maverick resident Edna St. Vincent Millay presented her play, Aria da Capo

including Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle, with nude nymphs—a scandal in 1917—and a satirical farce ridiculing the Kaiser in 1918. Noted Maverick resident Edna St. Vincent Millay presented her play Aria da Capo—a commedia dell’arte with characters in masks and harlequin costumes. Its powerful anti-war message struck a deep theatrical chord with festival attendees, who were costumed and masked as well.

The pirate ship The Ark Royale

Avant-garde festival themes became the norm. In 1923, future American housewares innovator Russel Wright created sets for the theme “Cubist Circus.” And in 1924, swash-buckling colonists constructed an elaborate 80-foot pirate ship, The Ark Royale, which was burnt to the ground in a spectacular Burning Man–style conflagration.

The gatherings continued until 1931, leaving behind a legacy of unbridled spirit and freedom. The spirit of that legacy strives to live on in today’s Woodstock through the abundance of art, film, writing, theatre, music, comedy and magic festivals that thrive here.

Hervey White’s vision and generosity of spirit opened the possibilities of creative community that continue to define our town. One hundred years ago, White understood that the joy of that freedom within the simplicity of nature remains forever timeless. ~Karen St.Pierre 10

Russel Wright’s Decoration for A Cubist Circus

Let us, the moment, hear thy symphonies; And list the melodies of moon and sun, Planets of Life’s and Death’s eternities, Chant of the ages, which have ne’er begun And ne’er will end the race, but ever onward run.

From “The Adventures of Young Maverick” by Hervey White

Why did the Maverick Festival, founded by Hervey White in 1915 to raise money to dig a well, suspend all activity by 1931? It died with a whimper, not a bang. Alf The new Modern Evers records that White Art, beginning with felt that the festivals had the Armory Show of “fallen victim to outside forces.” A few of those forces, 1913, found its way and not just the stock market to Woodstock crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, were at work to cause its demise. One particular ingredient was the clash between the less-inhibited artists, who mainly emigrated from the salons of NYC with their exuberance and freespirited attitude, and the local people, pastors and business people alike who feared the radicalism of these “free-love fanatics.”

Alexander Archipenko (in black wig) and his wife (in white wig) with friends

The new Modern Art, beginning with the Armory Show of 1913, found its way to Woodstock with the Art Students League and was a culture shock to this quiet community.

The 1920s witnessed emboldening of the women’s rights movement (women got the vote in 1923) and the moresubtle influences of culture and fashion. Freud unlocked the psyche a decade before and placed the mystery of the mind as rooted to the beginnings of sexuality in the child.

No longer were women confined by whale-bone corsets of Victorian America, nor were they hampered by the time-consuming chores now alleviated by new modern 13

appliances. Hollywood gave women new role models. Clara Bow exhibited something called “It,” which signified a new and greater expression of seduction and sexuality. Also, the decade saw the steady economic growth of the middle classes which brought with it an adventurous quality that was illustrated by the Flapper and all her loose morals and thrill-seeking ways. It was the roaring ’20s, it was the Jazz Age so well documented by the literature of the time, especially by Scott Fitzgerald.

By the summer of 1929 locals were thoroughly shocked by the goings-on of the festivals. It was a hotbed of sin, some exhorted. At the time there were appeals by local religious folk to report wild parties, nude bathing and indecent dress and lewd behavior. “The Festivals,” stated Alf Evers, “were becoming less an expression of creating community exuberance and more an occasion for people of all sorts... to cast off their inhibitions.” That year saw a record 8000 14

attendees, whose vehicles clogged the arteries leading to the festival and hindered access to the town…a situation that was mirrored by the Woodstock festival 40 years later.

“the dancers came on The Maverick Festival stage with a closer of 1929, themed “The Gay ’90s,” included a great & closer approach to many dance performers, cancomplete nudity” can numbers, a bathing beauty contest and, as one observer suggested, “the dancers came on stage with a closer and closer approach to complete nudity.” The New York Herald reported “the old Greek spirit [of the festival] has been abased by a squad of state police, recrudescence of Puritanism and hordes of fat, goggle-eyed curiosity-seekers.”

So the festival was brought down by its own success of outrageous costumes and more outrageous attitudes and eccentric behaviors and by visitors who wanted to catch a glimpse of scantily clad women. It was no surprise that the battle between pro- and anti-festival forces created, as Alf Ever suggested, “as vigorous a controversy as Woodstock has ever endured.” The easy comparison between the original Aquarian festival and the one of sex, drugs and rock & roll from 1969 is inevitable. Woodstock still remains a liberal, fun- loving community in sharp contrast to the conventional doings of much of Ulster County. The battle continues today in Woodstock.

There are those who seek a more conservative lifestyle and those who are more forwardlooking. I for one hope that the spiral of history moves progressively upward and not in a downward motion... for we are the inheritors of both the artist & the farmer, the city & the town, the modern & the old.

“It’s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips…

It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet.”

— Maya Angelou
