Made In America

M A G A Z I N E

For decades, artists have captured our attention with works inspired by mainstream American culture. From the pioneers of Pop Art, who shared an obsession with urban culture and mass media (Pop Art Revisited: A 21st Century Perspective, on pg. 52), to photographers such as Henry Warnecke, whose vivid, uplifting and kitschy images of American celebrities, reflect the popular culture of the 1930s and ’40s (In Vibrant Color: Vintage Celebrity Portraits from the Harry Warnecke Studio, on pg. 66), to Norman Rockwell’s nostalgic depictions of the people and events taking place in small-town America (Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera, on pg. 76) and the hyperrealistic works of Duane Hanson, whose startlingly lifelike sculptures of Americans from all walks of life, continue to mesmerize audiences of all ages (Duane Hanson: Sculptures & Photographs, 1978-1995, on pg. 94), these artists have drawn from everyday objects, images and events to create a heightened awareness of our environment. Through their artistry, we see our world in a different light. These stunning shows are just a sampling of the extraordinary talent on view in fine art museums and galleries throughout Florida, and I hope they may inspire you to venture out and experience them in person. Let’s go...

FMoPA celebrates the 150 year anniversary of this significant era in American his-

tory. On display are 41 photographs from the Drapkin Collection and 20 photographic jewelry and accessories from Larry West. The images demonstrate a turning point in the history of photography as a commercial enterprise, accessible to the general public with the progression from daguerreotypes to ambrotypes and tintypes.

Look, but don’t touch. Reach, but don’t grasp. Dream, but don’t wake up. That is how an exile feels about the homeland he cannot reclaim, and that is how Mario Algaze feels about Cuba. In his remarkable photographs, he brings you a world that is suffocating in stillness. Clocks seem frozen at the dawn of the Castro era. Time, although suspended, is visible on the façades of the aging buildings. The architecture is monumental, their grace and scale is overpowering.

Portraits of Power: Photography by Platon Florida Museum of Photographic Arts

During the crash of 1929, Dorothea Lange found her true calling as a peripatetic chronicler of the many faces www.fmopa.org of America—old and young, urban and rural, native-born and immigrant—as they dealt with unprecedented hardship, sometimes with resilience, often with despondence. Her immortal portraits seared these faces of the Depression era into America’s consciousness. Also included in the exhibition are notable social documentarians of the era, Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Wright Morris,

For any museumgoer contemplating Platon’s poster-size faces, there is an unequal balance of power. With these giant faces, every pore is exaggerated, every presence is overpowering, every pose—artificial or natural—is amplified. In many cases, a man’s

inner character is stripped naked—even as he frantically tries to cover up. (See story on pg. 86.) 10.06.12–01.13.13

In this intoxicatingly passionate journey of being an artist, besides being influenced by African and Oceanic art, the primal, and travel, I’ve also been influenced by the surrealists. Mark Chagall and Dali have been major influences as well as Jungian psychology, Buddhism, Francesco Clemente, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frida Kahlo and Eckhart Tolle,” says Silver Brown. “Glass is the perfect medium….With its fourth dimension of being able to see through the translucency and the breath of bubbles from within…It becomes spiritually and physically charged with life.”

POP ART REVISITED:

A 21st Century Perspective

Text by JAY WILLIAMS

PRESENTED BY THE VERO BEACH MUSEUM OF ART,

Pop Art Revisited: A 21st Century Perspective includes iconic works by the major artists associated with one of the 20th century’s most important art movements.

The original antecedents of Pop Art were images in

slick magazines, billboards, comic books, newspapers,

and advertising. Classic Pop Art was the product of a very different world—bold, brash, consumption-driven, post-war America—but it is relevant to today’s media-

driven world. The debate surrounding Pop Art contained some familiar questions about controversial subject matter in art: Were artists giving up the higher calling of making personal statements and giving in to an overwhelming tide of commercial

Janis explained that the “new Factual Artist” found “inspiration in urban culture” and mass media—including “the billboard, magazine, comic strip, daily newspaper,” and he went on to say that they were “attracted to abundant everyday ideas and facts” and “accumulations...of mass-pro-

“collaboration with materials” that redefined the idea of subject matter. He once stated: “I don’t want a picture to look like something it isn’t....I want it to look like something it is. And I think a picture is more like the real world when it’s made out of the real world.” Rauschenberg’s early “combines” were part painting, part

found-object sculpture, that often included art reproductions, postcards, photographs from magazines, newspaper headlines and illustrations. By the early ’60s, he had experimented with collaging found images in their original form, and also transferring, screen-printing, or photographically reproducing these everyday images in his paintings and prints—a process

October/December 2012

POP ART REVISITED:

A 21st Century Perspective of transformation that was key to the Pop Art movement. Jasper Johns, a close friend of Rauschenberg, had also gravitated toward pre-existing motifs such as American flags, numerals, maps and coffee cans, described by Johns as “things the mind already knows.” Both of these young artists anticipated Pop Art by experimenting with images from everyday culture years before anyone in America used that term. Johns’ first such painting was Flag (1954). During the next six years, Johns followed this initial flag painting with variations that were increasingly abstract. Like Rauschenberg, Johns worked freely between two and three-dimensional media. Rauschenberg and Johns set the stage for the appropriation, re-use and transformation of everyday objects and images by their contemporaries, and bridged the gap between the painterly Abstract Expressionism of the early 1950s and the harder-edged flat shapes more common to Pop Art. From the beginnings of Pop Art, the meaning of these imag-

es was hotly debated and the critical response to the burgeoning number of Pop-related exhibitions was mixed. In an article in which he referred to Pop artists as “the new vulgarians,” Max Kozloff saw in the work of Lichtenstein and Rosenquist “blatantly familiar images”... on the one hand “demonstrating that the recognizable is not necessarily communicative at all,” and on the other hand, that these were “precreated” images that required the viewer, rather than the artist, “to contribute the imaginative values.” Clement Greenberg, a champion of Abstract Expressionism, saw little value in Pop artists’ subject matter and gave only faint praise to their “clear and straightforward handling of their pictures,” noting that “novelty, as distinct from originality, has no staying power.” Given the large number of Pop-related exhibitions and the sometimes hostile critical response to them, it made perfect sense for the Museum of Modern Art to organize A Symposium on Pop Art in December, 1962.

tor, Henry Geldzahler, who was something of a misfit at the generally conservative Metropolitan Museum of Art, commented: “I have heard it said that Pop Art is not art, and this by a museum curator....Why are we

mistrustful of an art because it is readily acceptable?...The new art draws on everyday objects and images. They are isolated from their ordinary context, and typified and intensified. What we are left with is a heightened

awareness of the object and the image, and of the context from which they have been ripped, that is, our environment.” Through the mid-’60s, the debate about Pop Art continued in the press. As early as 1974, O n V i e w M a g a z i n e . c om

POP ART REVISITED:

A 21st Century Perspective the Pop Art pioneer, Lawrence Alloway, declared that the work of the Pop Artists “[had] been legitimated...as representative of a certain view of culture and the world.” Their view was focused outwardly—unlike the inward view of the abstract expressionists—and recognized the importance of the ever-present, overbearing images and symbols of the commercial world of advertising and publishing. Living in the “now” and having a continuing artistic dialogue with the surrounding visual environment was what Pop Art was and is all about. Confusion arises when a critic or audience member assumes that a known visual symbol—a flag, a historical work of art, a word, or a photo of a political figure—retains only its original meaning when it is removed from its common context. When it moves from the everyday world, where it has a known significance, it is redefined as it becomes part of a work of art. The word or image may retain part of its popular meaning, take on a totally different meaning, or represent several meanings O n V i e w M a g a z i n e . c om

simultaneously. The audience member who perceives a work of Pop Art participates in defining its meaning in contemporary culture. Whatever a Pop Art painting or print meant in the ’60s, it is likely to have taken on

October/December 2012

POP ART REVISITED:

A 21st Century Perspective new meanings in the present. Even Andy Warhol’s portraits, as universal as they may seem, are also subject to continual redefinition. His most famous subject, seen in his Portrait of Marilyn (1967), was based on a publicity photograph for the 1952 film, Niagara. Monroe received star billing in this film, which marked the beginning of a major publicity build-up by her Hollywood publicists. Warhol’s misaligned screens of red, pink, green and yellow transform the PR image of the glamorous star into a frightful mask. Warhol’s masked goddess of 1967 remains a powerful image, but one that defies stereotyping. To see Warhol’s Grace Kelly (1984) and Jacqueline Kennedy II (1965), as art images, as opposed to artistic versions of publicity stills, requires us to think of them as historical icons (their deaths having given them a kind of immortality). Warhol forces us to consider what society needs these figures to represent. While Warhol said that his subject matter was inspired by the historical portraits of Hans Memling, he was also obsessed

O n V i e w M a g a z i n e . c om

with the forces of conformity and individuality in society: “Those who talk about individuality the most are the ones who most object to deviation… Some day everybody will think just what they want to think, and then everybody will probably be thinking alike.” His Flowers (a portfolio of ten screenprints on paper, 1970) have been interpreted as a wry comment on the supposedly individualistic flower-power culture of the ’60s. A continuation of a similar series of silkscreened canvases from 1964, they were based on an image he found in Popular Photography magazine. Warhol’s Pepper Pot Campbell’s Soup (1968) sums up his take on conformity. Asked why he painted soup cans, he said that he “used to have the same lunch every day, for 20 years,” and at times, talked about wanting to be a machine. Yet, as a surprisingly religious person, he believed that works of art could Andy Warhol, Flowers, 1970, screenprint, 36 x 36”, Collection of Mr. and Mrs. James Singer

have the kind of power found in a religious icon: “The situation, physical ideas, physical presence,” he said, “I feel that is the comment.” The artist who dealt most directly with consumption and materialism was Claes Oldenburg. Oldenburg installed his first monumental outdoor sculpture, a giant lipstick on tank treads, in 1969. He went on to create some of America’s most notable works of public Pop Art, such as the forty-five foot high Clothespin (1976) in downtown Philadelphia. Before making any actual outdoor sculpture, Oldenburg created a drawing entitled Proposed Colossal Monument to Replace the Washington Obelisk, Washington, DC, Scissors Closed (1967). This drawing was the prototype for the color lithograph, Scissors as Monument (1967). In his notes about the

POP ART REVISITED:

A 21st Century Perspective piece, Oldenburg wrote that scissors were “a central tool in my activity,” referring to the cutting of material for his soft sculpture. “I realized that showing them closed would bring in what is imagined as well as what can be seen— open does not evoke closed, whereas closed evokes open. Also, a mood of anticipation, like the period before dawn.” His inventive way of capturing the spirit of consumer culture has given this Pop insider’s sculpture staying power. From the pioneers of Pop— Hamilton, Rauschenberg and Johns—to the mainstream Pop artists—Lichtenstein, Rosenquist, Warhol, Indiana, Wesselmann, Thiebaud and Oldenburg—these artists have held our attention for more than five decades. Their works in Pop Art Revisited clearly demonstrate that the Pop artists were a collection of strong individuals who shared an obsession with the images and objects of mainstream culture, not members of an orchestrated movement with a political or social agenda. Yet, these artists could not have been O n V i e w M a g a z i n e . c om

more effective in changing our way of thinking about art. Today, no one would dare to refer to James Rosenquist or Robert Rauschenberg as one of a group of “genial jesters,” as a reviewer did after seeing an exhibition by six major Pop painters at the Guggenheim in 1963. As late as 1974, Hilton Kramer scoffed at the notion that Pop Art could be justified as “some sort of grand synthesis of high culture and mass culture,” and, yet, that is exactly what these artists achieved. We are still fascinated by their images and recognize that their meanings are multi-layered and complex. Fortunately, we are no longer put off or offended by the Pop artists’ borrowing from popular culture, but we are still learning to open our eyes and minds to new forms of visual language, whether they originate in the realm of computers and the internet or in some other region outside high culture. The message of Pop Art urges us to approach the visual culture of the 21st century with the attitude they brought to their vibrant era. O n V iew

“Best known for delighting television audiences with her hilarious antics, comedienne Lucille Ball had hoped to make her mark as an actress on the big screen. From 1929 to 1950, she appeared in more than seventy films, but Hollywood stardom remained elusive. Weary of roles that offered steady work but little satisfaction, Ball was delighted when CBS offered her the chance in 1950 to star in a new television show based on her radio program, My Favorite Husband. When she proposed casting her husband, Desi Arnaz, as her costar, CBS balked at the idea of pairing Ball with the Cubanborn bandleader. The network relented after the couple agreed to pay for and produce the show’s pilot through their own newly formed company, Desilu Productions. A huge hit with the public when it debuted on CBS in October 1951, I Love Lucy proved to be the perfect showcase for Ball’s comedic talents.” —National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Harry Warnecke and Robert F.

In Vibrant Color “A trumpet virtuoso with a wide smile and an ebullient personality, Louis Armstrong was a jazz pioneer who helped to transform that musical genre into an international phenomenon. In the process, he became one of the most beloved American entertainers of the 20th century. Raised in New Orleans, Armstrong moved to Chicago in 1922 to join King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. Several years later, he formed his own band, billed himself as the ‘World’s Greatest Trumpet Player,’ and helped to develop the jazz style popularly known as ‘swing.’ His technical prowess, rhythmic ingenuity, memorable improvisations, and lively ‘scat’ singing made Armstrong a standout. As Duke Ellington observed, ‘Satchmo’ became the ‘epitome of jazz’ as he played before capacity audiences across America and abroad. A consummate performer first and foremost, Armstrong modestly declared, ‘I never tried to prove nothing, just always wanted to give a good show.’” —National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Harry Warnecke and Gus Schoenbaechler, Louis Armstrong, 1947, color carbro print, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution; gift of Elsie M.

ventriloquist, Edgar Bergen, and his wisecracking wooden cohort, Charlie McCarthy, rocketed to national fame in 1936 with their radio debut on the Rudy Vallee Show. The monocled dummy and his human straight man proved so popular with the listening audience that when NBC gave the pair their own program in 1937, it quickly became one of radio’s top-rated shows. One reviewer credited the success of the act to Bergen’s ability to endow an ‘inanimate bit of timber’ with ‘as distinct and as assertive an individuality’ as any entertainer in show business. Although other characters such as country bumpkin, Mortimer Snerd, were later added to the act, the irrepressible Charlie McCarthy remained its star. When Bergen announced his intention to one day donate his rambunctious alter ego to the Smithsonian, Charlie fired back, ‘Well, I won’t be the only dummy in Washington.’” —National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Harry Warnecke, Robert F.

In Vibrant Color A true newsman, who credited his assistants on all of his works, Warnecke convinced the Daily News to invest in expensive technology that introduced color photography to a broad audience. Employing a special one-shot camera of his own design, he produced color images by utilizing the technically demanding tri-color carbro process that yields richly-hued prints because the color actually derives from pigment that is suspended in gelatin rather than from color dyes. That’s one of the reasons why the color carbro prints from the ’30s and ’40s still have this wonderful, vivid color, unlike the dye-based color processes that we are familiar with today. Warnecke and his team photographed hundreds of people in the news, from beloved film stars and athletes to military leaders and government officials, as they had never been seen before. His mastery of the process left lasting photographs and glimpses into popular culture of the 1930s and ’40s.

rity portraits of today. Because color took priority over dramatic shadows and special effects, he produced the sorts of uplifting, kitschy images that have become the hallmark of American nostalgia. Yet after his death in 1984, many of Warnecke’s portraits were forgotten. “He sort of fell off the radar,” says Ann Shumard, Curator of Photographs for the National Portrait Gallery. “It’s the difference between a fine art photographer and the photographers who worked for major newspapers. The photographers at Life and Look certainly were more well known because they had national circulation.” Twenty-four of these photographs from the 1930s and ’40s have been brought together for the exhibition, In Vibrant Color: Vintage Celebrity Portraits from the Harry Warnecke Studio, at Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, on view from October 27th through January 12th.

“Before signing a film contract with Republic Pictures in 1943, Dale Evans enjoyed modest success as a singer, performing in nightclubs and on the radio. But when Republic cast her opposite singing cowboy, Roy Rogers, in The Cowboy and the Senorita (1944), her career was transformed. Teamed with Rogers in more than 25 films between 1944 and 1951, Evans became ‘Queen of the West’ to Rogers’s ‘King of the Cowboys.’ When the couple married on New Year’s Eve in 1947, they became off-screen partners as well. Following the wedding, Republic announced that Dale Evans would no longer play Roy Rogers’s leading lady. But after fans protested, that plan was scrapped and Evans returned to the screen with her husband. She also co-starred with him when the Roy Rogers Show debuted on television in 1951, and composed the Happy Trails theme song with which the pair closed each episode.” —National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Harry Warnecke, Dale Evans, 1947, color carbro print, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution

He scored a hit as a small-time con artist in the Broadway musical, Poppy (1923), and reprised the role in D. W.

landmark exhibition that sheds new light on Norman Rockwell’s art and artistry—Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera is the first exhibition to explore in depth, Rockwell’s richly detailed study photographs, created by the artist as references for his iconic paintings. Organized with Norman Rockwell Museum and author/guest curator, Ron Schick, whose companion book of the same name was released by Little, Brown and Company, the exhibition (and publication) reveals a rarely seen yet fundamental aspect of Rockwell’s creative process, and unveils a significant new body of Rockwell imagery in an unexpected medium.

NORMAN ROCKWELL: Behind the Camera

Rockwell’s photographs, displayed alongside his paintings, drawings and commercial illustrations, present a fascinating view of the development of some of the artist’s most memorable images. At the same time, the photographs themselves— each painstakingly staged by Rockwell and involving an array of models, costumes, props and settings—are works of art in their own right. Rockwell’s study photographs are part of the Norman Rockwell Archives, a 200,000-object collection of Rockwell’s papers, photographs and mementos, housed at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, MA. Curator, Ron Schick, is the first Saturday

researcher to undertake a comprehensive study of the Museum’s newly digitized photography archives—a repository of nearly 20,000 images encapsulating Rockwell’s use of photography over four decades. Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) is best known for his images of everyday American life. A masterful storyteller, Rockwell painted nuanced scenes of people and events inspired by his New England hometown. Born in New York City in 1894, he enrolled in art classes at the New York School of Art at the age of fourteen, and quickly found success as a commercial illustrator, receiving his first commission before his sixteenth birthday. Rockwell’s illustrations were extremely popular in his lifetime and were seen across America in books, advertisements, calendars and popular magazines, but it was his work with the Saturday Evening Post that made him a household name. And while he is remembered for his nostalgic approach to American daily

NORMAN ROCKWELL: Behind the Camera life, Rockwell also seriously addressed major social issues of the time in some of his later work. Early in his career, Rockwell hired professional models to pose for the characters in his paintings. Beginning in the mid1930s, however, the evolving naturalism of his work led him to embrace photography, which had increasingly come in vogue as a useful tool for fine artists—and a natural ally of commercial illustrators working on tight deadlines. For Rockwell, already known as “the kid with the camera eye,” photography was more than an artist’s aid. The camera brought a heightened sense of realism to his work and opened a window to the keenly observed

authenticity that signifies his art. Working with friends and neighbors rather than professional models provided him with a wide array of “everyday” faces, while the camera’s ability to capture a fleeting expression or freeze a difficult pose gave him free reign to imagine and construct his visual narratives, capturing the fine details and nuances of his beloved characters. Before committing his ideas to canvas, Rockwell brought them to life in studio sessions. He carefully orchestrated each element of his design for the camera, selecting props and locations, choosing and directing his models, even getting in on the action to pose and perform. In fact, Rockwell’s photographic OnV

archive reveals that the artist himself is his most frequently captured model. Rockwell staged his photographs much as a film director works with a cinematographer, instructing his cameramen when to shoot, yet never personally firing the shutter. He created numerous photographs for each new subject, sometimes capturing complete compositions and other times, piecing together separate pictures of individual elements. Photography brought all the essential elements of Rockwell’s art completely under his control. For an artist with a “camera eye,” narrative genius and commitment to painstaking perfectionism, no better instrument could have been devised. O n V iew

Portraits of POWER:

Photographs by PLATON

AN EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION OF images by portrait photographer, Platon, is on display at Florida Museum of Photographic Arts in Tampa. Featured are some of the world’s most powerful personalities presented as we’ve never seen before, providing viewers with a glimpse at what lies behind their carefully constructed auras. As Platon once stated in an interview with BBC’s World News Today: “We’re all used to seeing these characters on the podium making dramatic speeches, but we never see them up close and personal, and I wanted to show in a humble, honest way, what it’s really like to connect with them on an intimate level.” All the subjects Platon has photographed are used to being in control, yet for a few seconds, Platon has been the one in control, determining with a click of a button, which momentary truth is captured and how each figure will be permanently represented in history. “Artists have been making portraits of the mighty for centuries—from Velázquez’s Philip IV to Lucian Freud’s Elizabeth II— and the act of portrait-making can leave the royal or the tyrant, the President or the diplomat, with a sudden feeling of disequilibrium, of a transfer of power….History is full of leaders who cannot bear the result of their sittings. Winston Churchill publicly praised a portrait of him by Graham Sutherland, but soon decided that it made him look senile. His wife, Clementine, destroyed it. Usually, it seems, politicians seek out a portrait artist at the beginning of OnV

their career. On February 27, 1860, the day he delivered his careerdefining speech at Cooper Union, Abraham Lincoln walked over to Mathew Brady’s studio and had his picture taken. The greatest of American political lives had begun.”—from The New Yorker, December 7, 2009 In 1976, as renowned photographer, Richard Avedon, was about to photograph Henry Kissinger, the US Secretary of State made a request—“Be kind to me,” he said. Did Kissinger want Avedon to make him appear wiser, warmer or perhaps more sincere than he thought he was? Avedon later wrote: “Isn’t it trivializing and demeaning to make someone look wise, noble (which is easy to do), or even conventionally beautiful when the thing itself is so much more complicated, contradictory and therefore, fascinating?” In September of 2009, during a meeting of world leaders at the United Nations in New York, Platon, a staff photographer for The New Yorker magazine, was granted unprecedented access to the event and set up a makeshift studio off the floor of the General Assembly, where he proceeded to lure the likes of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chávez and Muammar Gaddafi in front of his camera. The artist recalled what Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, asked just before his portrait was taken—“Platon,” he said, “make me look good.” Born in London in 1968, Platon was raised in the Greek Isles until his family returned to England in the 1970s. He received his BA with honors in Graphic Design from St. Martin’s School of Art and his MA in Photography and Fine Art at the Royal College of Art. After working for British Vogue for several years, he was invited to New York to work for the late John Kennedy Jr. and his political magazine, George.   Platon shot portraits for a range of international publications, including Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ and The Sunday Times magazine. He also developed a special relationship with Time magazine, producing over 20 covers. In 2007, Platon photographed Russian Premier, Vladimir Putin, for Time magazine’s Person Of The Year cover. The image was awarded 1st prize at the World Press Photo contest.   In 2008 he signed a multi-year contract with The New Yorker. OnV

As the staff photographer, he has produced a series of large-scale photo essays, two of which won ASME Awards in 2009 and 2010. Platon’s New Yorker portfolios have focused on many themes, including President Obama’s inauguration, the US military, portraits of world leaders, and the Civil Rights Movement.    The following year, Platon teamed up with the Human Rights Watch to help them celebrate those who fight for equality and justice in countries suppressed by political forces. These projects have highlighted human rights defenders from Burma as well as the leaders of the Egyptian revolution. Platon photographed Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, for the cover of Time, just days after her release from house arrest. Platon’s first monograph, Platon’s Republic, was published in 2004 by Phaidon Press. To coincide with its publication, his work was exhibited in London and New York.  His second book, Power—a collection of portraits of over 100 world leaders—was published in 2011 by Chronicle. The book includes portraits of Barack Obama, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Dmitry Medvedev, Benjamin Netanyahu, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Abbas, Tony Blair, Robert Mugabe, Silvio Berlusconi and Muammar Gaddafi.    In recent years, public speaking has progressively played a major role in Platon’s career as a communicator and storyteller. He has been invited to be a keynote speaker at the World Economic Forum, Yale University, the London School of Economics, the National Portrait Gallery in London and the International Center of Photography in New York. He has also appeared on a range of television media, including Charlie Rose (PBS), Morning Joe (MSNBC), Fareed Zakaria’s GPS (CNN) and the BBC World News.   In 2011, his work was exhibited in New York at the Matthew Marks Gallery and the Howard Greenberg Gallery. The New York Historical Society also exhibited a solo show of Platon’s Civil Rights photographs, which remain part of the Museum’s Permanent Collection. Platon’s advertising credits include the United Nations Foundation, Credit Suisse Bank, Exxon Mobil, Diesel, The Wall Street Journal, Motorola, Nike, Converse, IBM, Rolex, Ray-Ban, Tanqueray, Kenneth Cole, Moschino and Timex. Platon lives in New York with his wife, daughter and son.

DUANE HANSON:

Sculptures & Photographs, 1978-1995

EVER SINCE DUANE HANSON MADE HIS

American museum debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1978, he has continued to delight viewers with his lifelike and life-sized

of life. “I’m mostly interested in the human form

as subject matter and means of expression for my sculpture,” the artist

once said. “What can generate more interest, fascination, beauty, ugliness, joy, shock or contempt than a human being?...” Duane Hanson: Sculptures & Photographs, 1978-1995, hosted by the Museum of Florida Art in DeLand, presents nine hyperrealistic conceptual works by the sculptor as well as a selection of photographic “sketch book” studies that enhance our understanding of the artist’s process. “Duane Hanson’s sculptures are soundly rooted in the ‘Photo Realism’ school, stemming from the ‘Pop Art’ movement of the mid-1960s. This style is

generally associated with painters such as Chuck Close and Richard Estes, but Duane Hanson is the preeminent sculptor of this genera,” says David Fithian, the Museum’s Curator of Art and Exhibitions. “This exhibition will give viewers a unique chance to experience first-hand these superb works in the intimate atmosphere of the Museum’s upper galleries.” The initial, close-up encounter with a Hanson sculpture encourages the viewer to ad-

mire his technique. Some may think the artist merely made casts of real people and then glued the parts together, inserted body-hairs, glass eyes and teeth. Hanson’s figures are actually composites of castings from various people or “New People,” composed of polyester resin and fiberglass. In his vignettes of American life, Hanson hasn’t missed a single detail. After casting his figures from live models in his studio, he adorned them with every attribute of lifelikeness, right down to tiny body hairs and varicose veins. He also hand-picked their clothes from second-hand shops, and meticulously accessorized them. We have all come across Hanson’s people at one time or another—at the market or the gas station or while simply walking about town. Hanson’s people are not beautiful. His figures are often overweight, garishly dressed and exhausted. Some appear merely tired out—others simply seem tired of living. “I’m not duplicating life, I’m making a statement

lege in St. Paul, MN, in 1946 and his MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI, in 1951. From 1953 to 1960, Hanson lived in Munich and Bremerhaven, Germany, working as an art teacher for the US Army dependent school system. It was in Germany that he began to experiment with synthetic media, particularly, polyester resin and fiberglass—the materials that would become his signature media. He spent the following years perfecting his artistic skills and the use of these materials in such a way that the boundaries between real and artificial seem to blur. Hanson moved back to the US in 1960 and from 1962’65, he was an art professor at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. It was during his time at Oglethorpe that he received a grant from the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust to develop his work with life-sized polyester resin and fiberglass sculpture. The subjects of his sculptures during the mid- to late 1960s were political. Though he later tempered his political message, he continued to address the roles of the working class— housewives, repairmen, office

cleaners, dishwashers, museum guards and janitors. One of the first sculptures Hanson created after moving to South Florida in 1965, was Abortion, a mixed-media rendering of a dead pregnant woman, sprawled on a table and covered with a sheet. When the work was publicly displayed for the first time in Miami the following year, it provoked strong reactions—both favorable and negative—and Hanson suddenly became a celebrity in the South Florida art scene. Hanson’s provocative, lifelike sculptures soon attracted attention beyond Florida. In 1967, New York art dealer, Ivan Karp, began to woo Hanson away from Miami and in 1969, the artist moved to Manhattan. His works were shown in solo exhibitions in New York and Germany, and he created more than 25 sculptures over the next four years. Although Hanson’s move broadened his exposure in the New York art world, he grew tired of the city. In 1973 he returned to South Florida, settling in Davie, where he lived for the rest of his life. Despite his absence from New York, Hanson’s work OnV

gained popularity. It was during the 1970s that he attained international recognition. In 1974, a retrospective of Hanson’s work toured Europe and in 1976, his work went on a major tour of museums in the US. His solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1978 attracted more than 297,000 visitors, setting an attendance record for the Museum. Among the many awards and accolades Hanson received, he was perhaps most proud of those that identified him as a Florida artist. In 1983, he was given the Ambassador of the Arts Award of the State of Florida and two years later, he received the first annual “Florida Prize” of $10,000 for his outstanding achievements in sculpture. In 1987, he was honored with a “Duane Hanson Day” proclamation in Broward County, and was inducted into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame in 1992. Hanson is regarded as one of the most influential American sculptors of the 20th century, committed to Realism, and considered by many to be the most popular and significant artist ever to have come out of South Florida.

Their work ranged from abstraction to realism and was influenced by artistic movements such as Surrealism, Constructivism and New Objectivity along with creative approaches to documentary and reportage. Broadly, the work reflects what artist and theorist, László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946), described as a ‘new vision,’ a perspective that emerged from the technical culture of the 20th century, incorporating a multitude of unconventional forms and techniques such as unusual cropping and camera angles, high contrast and photomontage in both experimental and straight photography.

Responding to the new urbanism of the 1920s, photographers in Europe and America reflected the aesthetics of the “new vision” in metropolitan landscapes, creating groundbreaking work that emphasized the abstract forms, geometry and formal rhythms of city life and industrial production. Berenice Abbott’s photographs of New York City skyscrapers are iconic examples of this approach, which was also adopted by artists such as Alma Lavenson and Peter Stackpole in California and Josef Ehm in the Czech Republic.

During the interwar period, artists such as Brassaï, Henri Cartier-Bresson and André Kertész connected the ordinary and the fantastic, the real and the surreal. They saw the city as a labyrinth of ephemeral moments, obscure places, forgotten objects, and marginal people linking to a deeper mystery behind ordinary appearances. This style was especially prevalent in the Czech Republic, where Jaro-

SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND DOCUMENTARY AND REPORTAGE

In the 1930s, economic turmoil and political extremism on both sides of the Atlantic inspired many photographers to use the camera as a tool for activism, uniting modernist aesthetics with progressive ideas. American artists like Walker Evans, Marion Post Wolcott, Paul Strand and Weegee captured the social hardships of the Great Depression, often with support from Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA) and Farm Security Administration (FSA). MASS MEDIA:

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE PUBLIC

The increasing recognition of photography as a new 20th century art form was accompanied by an explosion in the mass distribution of photographic images in the interwar period in

magazines such as Life, Look, Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar as well as Vu, Minataure and De Stijl in Europe. These publications introduced new styles of photography to American and European readers, and gave artists a commercial platform on which to establish themselves. Books, magazines and films from this period will be featured. OnV

“The Modern Impulse offers a window into one of the most artistically fertile periods in the history of photography,” said Rebecca Nagy, Director of the Harn Museum of Art. “We’re delighted to share a remarkable exhibition that meaningfully contributes to a greater understanding of 20th century visual culture.” O n V iew

What if… the possibilities and imaginative solutions that exist, are far beyond our comprehension? As a child, I used to watch ‘The Twilight Zone,’ an intriguing, imaginative, black and white television program that fired up my imagination.‘What if’ became my constant question.

Kabuki, noh and ningyō-jōruri (puppet theater, more commonly known as bunraku) have served as cultural ambassadors since Japan’s opening to the West in the mid-19th century, introducing the world to a distinctive view of Japanese art and culture. Earlier forms and traditions, however, remain virtually unknown outside of Japan. Mechanical puppet theater (karakuriningyō), for example, easily rivaled in popularity that of both kabuki and more traditional puppet theater during the 17th and early 18th centuries. Dioramas of hyper-realistic dolls known as iki-ningyō (lifelike human forms) were all the rage in Edo (present-day Tokyo) for much of the 19th century, and were collected by museums in the West.
