Roy Lichtenstein American, 1923-1997 Picture and Pitcher, 1977; cast executed 1978 Painted and patinated bronze, edition 2/3 Edmund Hayes and Charles Clifton Funds, 1978 Photo Credit: Alice Lowe for the New York Art Crawl at Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York Early in his career, Roy Lichtenstein derived many of his subjects from cartoon imagery and magazine advertisements. He would strip these images of their context and crop and reimagine them on canvas. Later, he began to broaden his subject matter by canvasing modern art movements such as Cubism, Fauvism, and Surrealism. Between 1977 and 1980, Lichtenstein executed a series of twenty freestanding sculptures, including Picture and Pitcher, that focus on classic themes in painting, such as still lifes and interiors. This series of works additionally explores the theme of light and reflection. Lichtenstein reinterpreted these motifs in his iconic comic book-inspired style --- executed with a thick black outline and flat areas of color – which he developed during the heyday of Pop art in the 1960’s. The subject of Picture and Pitcher is taken from The Ochre Head, a 1937 painting by Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954). Here, Lichtenstein puts his own spin on Matisse’s original composition, which also features a pitcher overlapping the corner of a painting. Lichtenstein’s execution and the way this work appears to be flat, however, comically subvert the very notion of sculpture. The title is humorous as well, taken from the common mispronunciations of the near-homonyms “picture” and “pitcher”.

Emanuel Leutze (1816-1868) Washington Crossing the Delaware 1851, Oil on canvas 📷 Alice Lowe for the Art & Design Matters New York Art Crawl Courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art This depiction of George Washington (1732-1799) and his men crossing the Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey to launch an attack on the Hessians (German soldiers hired by Great Britain) on December 25, 1776—a turning point in the Revolutionary War – was a great success both in Germany, where Leutze painted it, and in the United States. Its popularity lay chiefly in the choice of subject, appealing as it did to flourishing nationalism at midcentury not only in those two countries but around the world. The work’s monumental scale added to its effectiveness. Despite some historical inaccuracies, the painting remains an object of veneration and is one of the best-known and most extensively published images in American art. It is exhibited here in a reproduction of its original frame, based on a photograph by Mathew B. Brady.

Robert Colescott American, 1925-2009 Feeling His Oats, 1988 Acrylic on canvas Sarah Norton Goodyear Fund, 2000. With its loud colors and teeming but tight compositional structure, Feeling His Oats embodies Robert Colescott’s ability to incite social commentary through visual narrative. Tackling themes such as sex, politics, and race, Colescott did not shy away from social taboos in his art. This painting depicts a man who seems to be enjoying the luxurious life. He is surrounded by his material possessions, such as a car and money. However, he is not alone. Several recognizable figures fill the scene. Stereotyped caricatures of a black athlete and a “Mammy” figure are given prominence. Two well-known cultural icons – the Quaker Oats man and Superman – appear on a much smaller scale and, unusually, are rendered as black. Both humorous and provocative, Colescott prompts viewers to consider the history and meaning of these stereotypes and the tensions they may create in contemporary society.

Declared a New York City Landmark in 1966, the Samuel Tilden Mansion is home to The National Arts Club located at 15 Gramercy Park South. In 1976 the Federal government designated the building a National Historic Landmark. The National Arts Club was founded in 1898. Early members include Robert Henri, Frederic Remington, Daniel Chester French, Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. Over the years, The National Arts Club has been used for several prominent film and television productions, including Boardwalk Empire, Z - The Beginning of Everything, Revel in the Rye, Time Out, Gotham, Ring Twice for Miranda, Law & Order SVU, History Channel, CBS This Morning Interview, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Windows of the World, Jimmy Choo, Billions, and Vulture Club. The location has also been featured in numerous prominent photo shoots and fashion shows, most recently Steven Klein photographing Kim Kardashian for Interview Magazine and Jill Stuart showing for Fashion Week 2018. The stained-glass dome that crowns the mansion’s library/bar was created by glass master, Donald MacDonald (1841–1916), a leading stained-glass artisan and designer in 19th century Boston. The dome was commissioned by Governor Samuel J. Tilden, when the Gramercy Park building was his city house.

We Support Museums and are available for assignments! Joan Miro Carnaval d’Arlequin (Carnival of Harlequin) 1924-25 Oil on Canvas Room of Contemporary Art Fund, 1940 At the time Joan Miro created Carnival of Harlequin, he had so little money that he once served radishes to a friend he invited for dinner, because it was all he could afford. He described coming home at the end of a day without food and, in a kind of trance, drawing the forms that were the genesis of this painting. On the left of the work is the figure of Harlequin, a stock character in commedia dell’arte, a popular Italian theater tradition. Because Harlequin frequently played the guitar, Miro represented his body as guitar-shaped. The figure’s unhappy expression might derive from Harlequin’s frequent role as the victim of unrequited love, or it may relate to the hole in his stomach, which may in turn allude to Miro’s own poverty and hunger. Most of the other characters in the scene, however, seem to be having a wonderful time, and it is thought that the title of the painting refers to Mardi Gras, the celebration that precedes fasting during the season of Lent in the Catholic liturgical calendar. Many revelers have characteristics of both humans and animals, and some are anthropomorphized objects, such as the ladder with an eye and ear. The hybrid creatures are playing, singing, dancing, and celebrating, with music literally in the air.
