JMW Turner: Painting Set Free
at SF's de Young through Sept 20 |
J. M. W. Turner Quotations ...
"I don't paint so that people will understand me, I paint to show what a particular scene looks like."
"I did not paint... to be understood. I wished to show what such a scene was like."
"Light is therefore colour."
"It is necessary to mark the greater from the lesser truth: namely the larger and more liberal idea of nature from the comparatively narrow and confined; namely that which addresses itself to the imagination from that which is solely addressed to the eye."
|
Light! Turner's paintings explode with light, -- bright white light.
Take a moment and scan these sample thumbnails of Turner paintings currently on exhibit at the de Young. Consider what they have in common.

Burial at Sea, 1842
Tate, London
Turner painted this as a memorial to his friend and rival, Sir David Wilkie (1885-1841). He died while sailing home from the Holy Land. When a critic said the darks were too black, Turner quipped, "I only wish I had any color to make them blacker."
|
War The Exile and the Rock Limpet, 1842
Tate London
This painting evokes war and peace as abstract concepts. It was painted soon after Nepoleon's ashes were returned to Paris, yet the emperor is shown here alive on the Island of St. Helena.
|
Without delving into subject matter, these painting all seem to burst forth from a center of bright white light.
Turner seems to use this bright light as the source for telling his stories. As the light diffuses, it takes on the shapes of vague ships, boats, seas, storm clouds, sunsets, buildings, landscapes and figures.
|
Blue Rigi Sunset, 1842
Tate, London |
Whether he is telling a tale of mythology or history, or a scene of daily 19th century life, the light is the narrator.
As Turner's light breaks into its constituent colors, he often contrasts brilliant light with silhouetted shadows. His images captivate our attention and in some cases, seem as haunting as a dream.

What is extraordinary about Turner's paintings is how modern they appear to be. But how is this possible?
His life span (1775-1851) is way out of synch with other modern artists or movements. He never knew of impressionism, post-impressionism, or any variant school of modernism. He was born just one year before the War for American Independence, and died a full decade before Abraham Lincoln became president. When he died in 1851, Claude Monet was an 11 year old boy. Vincent Van Gogh would not be born until after Turner's death.
He did not benefit from the influence of so many artists and movements which we consider part of the sequential family tree of art. The question is inevitable and has been asked by many, "How was Turner able to produce such a body of work in the 1840's?"
The answer is evasive, but it might have something to do with how we understand the source of the artistic idea. Perhaps great art draws from a deep well that has little to do with time or history. Just as the figures drawn on cave walls were quite abstract, those pre-historic artists on dark cave walls drew ideas from the well of their experience, tempered with the their own terror and courage, their hopes and fears.
|
Hurrah for the Whaler Erebus, Another Fish,
1846 Tate, London
A not uncommon scene in the 1840's, here, a whaler cuts up a whale, hoisting up the head while crew carves blubber from the carcass. There is no record of a whaling ship named Erebus. Turner probably wanted to harness the current interest in the Erebus, one of a pair of ships on expedition at the time, off seeking a Northwest Passage around North America.
|
Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons
October 16, 1834, Philadelphia Museum of Art
Turner watched Parliament burn from the southern bank of the Thames, feverishly sketching on the spot. This scene shows the twin towers of Westminster Abbey eerily illuminated by the fire.
|
The Dogano San Giorgio Citella
from the Steps of the Europa, 1842
Tate, London
Turner captured this scene from the steps of the Hotel Europa on the Grand Canal. A critic from the Art Union in London wrote in 1842, "Venice was surely built to be painted by Canaletto and Turner."
|
Maybe art has little to do with the conscious world, and much to do with the subconscious. If this is the case, people of the 21st century are no more sophisticated than those of the early 20th, 19th or 18th centuries, or those from millennia ago.
Art history therefore may not be so much a case of sequential art movements, but a question of depth, how deep the artistic idea is drawn from an ageless well of common human experience, and how ably is that art expressed.
|
Perhaps this may be what made Turner tick. He managed to find a way to express with power, ideas which touched people in their subconscious -- he struck a chord through their perception of light. He found a visual pathway to speak to people's sense of hope and life, of darkness, fear, and even death. |

J. M. W. Turner:
Painting Set Free
at SF's de Young |
Of course there were the critics, those needing more concrete representations of reality, like green trees and blue sky, and something recognizable in a painting before it can be considered art. Those who held to such ideas critiqued Turner harshly, and such critics still exist today. But true artists, like J. M. W. Turner did in the 19th century, strive onward, unthwarted. They brush off their courage and head again for the blank canvas, the blank sheet of paper, the pile of awaiting clay. For inspiration, they cast downward into the well of human experience and strive to create, expressing their vision in new ways. |

Armin Hansen,The Artful Voyage,
Sacramento's Crocker, through Oct 1
by Daniel Rohlfing |
Men of the Sea 1920
Monterey Museum of Art |
He's California's painter who made Monterey his home, a big burly artist who captured the daring men who battled the elements making a living from the sea.
|
The '06 Quake shook San Francisco and altered countless lives, among them a 6 foot 4 inch 20-year-old art student attending the Mark Hopkins Institute named Armin Hansen.
After the shaker, Hansen continued his art education at The Royal Academy in Stuttgart, Germany, with Carlos Trethe. After graduation, he maintained a studio in a rustic art colony near Oostende on the Belgian Coast.
|
Jeweled Waters 1923,
Monterey Museum of Art |
Drifting, Collection of Donna and Mark Salzberg |
He was fascinated by the burly life of fishermen. To observe his subject close up, he worked on a Norwegian trawler, experiencing the ocean's motions and moods. He observed his shipmates close up. When in port, he rushed to his studio to paint, or nurtured his artistic curiosity by touring Europe's finest museums and galleries. |
Armin Hansen Self Portrait |
His career in Europe was showing promise. He was winning prizes for his paintings and critical recognition. But Armin left that life behind and returned to California's Bay Area, teaching at Berkeley. Within a year of his return, he settled in Monterey. In the 1910's and '20's, he taught landscape classes for the Monterey Branch of the California School of Art. In one of these classes, he met his future wife Frances whom he married in 1922. During this period, he assisted in the formation of the Carmel Art Association.

In 1925, he was elected to the National Academy of Design and became a member of New York's Salmagundi Club. In the 1920's, he was better known in the East than he was in his native California, but his reputation was established and growing. Today, he is fondly remembered as the "Winslow Homer of the West Coast." Although he did some landscape and western work, he is best known for his paintings of rough and weathered men of the sea, strong

men willing to take on the challenging and real moods of the sea.
During the Great Depression, Hansen's savings were erased and like the rest of economy, his artwork wasn't selling. He diversified his subjects in an effort to increase sales, turning to popular cowboy scenes and still lifes. But today, it's his paintings of the fishermen of the sea that linger, that record for us in exceptional graphic

style the courage, character and strength of California's fishermen.
Of the paintings in this exhibit, perhaps the most iconic is "Nino" done in 1919. The fisherman leaning into the oars does battle with the swelling seas. With canvas and bold oranges and blues, Hansen transports us into a world he knew, loved and honored. This is no passive image of a sailor, it is Hansen's homage to fishermen everywhere.

Countess Elektra Rozanska receiving a community
theatre thespian award from
1950's comedian George Goebel
|
Countess Elektra Rozanska, and her article,
"Joshua Meador Moods and Mediums" |
She was in the movies 60 years ago. Although she never became a star, Countess Elektra Rozanska's movie credits include The Buccaneer (1958) and Letter from an Unknown Woman (1948).
Although the Countess never admitted it, she was not a real Countess; she played one in Hollywood. She added the title and changed a single letter in her first and last names to give her screen name some panache. Her real first name was Electra (with a "c" rather than a "k") and her last name was Rozanski (with an "i" rather than a "a"). But in a town where Marion Morrison became John Wayne and Norma Jeane Mortenson became Marylyn Monroe, I don't suppose we should come down too hard on Countess Elektra.
To supplement acting, she worked as a speech therapist, was active in the Pasadena community theater and wrote a column for the Pasadena Star News. The following column is about her experience walking in the hills north of Hollywood and encountering Walt Disney artist Joshua Meador at his easel. We don't have any photos of Countess Elektra's encounter with Joshua Meador, or of the painting he was working on that day, but below are some similar scenes done during the same period by Joshua Meador near his La Crescenta home.
It is interesting to hear an artist grappling with the distinction between artistic movements, such as impressionism versus modernism. He may have been thinking particularly of the contributions of his friend Conrad Buff, who reduced the landscape to simplified shapes and bold colors and marks, yet had been born in 1886 and seemed ahead of his time for United States modernism. Meador espouses expressing oneself with whatever one's vision requires, and the result is different from his contemporaries just as Turner's was at a far earlier time.
|
Meador Moods and Mediums --
Artist Explains Canvas Techniques
by Countess Elektra Rozanska |
Joshua Meador's Wild is the Wind,
currently available on view at the gallery |
Painting is older than writing and when man could not express himself in speech as he wished, he used this medium.
The history of painting really began in the remote ages when man had to depend upon his existence as a hunter. In the caves of Spain many pictures can be found depicting animals and executed with line that would do credit to modern draftsmen. The ancient Egyptians used much flat color and this is also true of the Greeks.
|
Joshua Meador painted the Home of Granville Redmond. Josh did not know the great painter, arriving in La Crescenta after his death, but he painted the home where Redmond's widow and daughter resided, his La Crescenta neighbors.
The paintings is now in a private collection. |
Not long ago I ambled up a rustic lane in the foothills to be stopped by a figure sitting under a huge red umbrella, paint brush stuck between his teeth, squinting and scanning northward.
Valley His Paradise
It was Joshua Meador, noted artist, who told me that he had found La Canada Valley an inspiration and his paradise.
After a dissertation on the arts, I hinted that it would be a privilege to view some of his paintings and he invited me to his studio.
Meador, with his charming wife Elizabeth and young son Philip, live in a delightful house which nestles in the hills among pine and olive trees close to the San Gabriel range.
I was intrigued by the landscapes, still lifes and beautifully executed pen sketches which show the artist's love of fantasy.
|
In 1940 Joshua and Elizabeth Meador moved to La Crescenta and many of his sketches and paintings have been done within walking distance of their home. Their mutual love of art has bound them in an idealistic romance and the artist gives credit to his wife for his progress and inspiration.
As a boy Meador showed great talent for painting and was known as the school artist, starting his career as a cartoon animator by drawing on the margins of his books at Lee High School, Columbus, Miss.
Columbus did not have an art school and Joshua took a correspondence course in art.
|
He worked diligently for two years after graduating and entered Pittsburgh Art Institute. Convinced that what he was seeking was not to be found at this school, he entered Chicago Art Institute, graduating in 1935 with high honors.
"What an inspiration it must be up here away from smog, noise and maddening crowds," I commented. "It is just that," Meador said, he drew a brush over the blue sky of a landscape. "This high altitude, glorious scenery, the sunshine with its play of light and shadow is a haven for artists. Dusk and night lend themselves particularly to rare scenic effects."
"In what medium do you enjoy expressing your moods?" I asked. "In all mediums and forms," the artist replied. "I get joy painting the sea, it has a terrific pull on my artistic sense."
|
Joshua Meador, Verduga Hills
private collection |
Curious about the development of cartoons, I asked how he developed a sequence, such as the fire scene in Bambi.
"You're touching on a subject that is very technical and lengthy," he answered. "A sequence first is developed in the story department. Then it is given to the director who controls the picture. The effects work is turned over to the effects department where it is drawn. This is my special field. Then the effect is interpreted by the artist to whom it is assigned."
"How is a sequence interpreted?" I queried.
|
Joshua Meador's Neighbor's House
in La Crescenta, Private Collection |
Sequence Interpretation
"First of all thumbnail sketches must be drawn. These are placed in continuity until the idea begins developing. It is elaborated upon and must be worked out until it is a finished drawing. Then color may be added. When it is okayed, animation is begun and the mood of the sketches is carried over into the scene throughout the movement."
I inquired what was meant by animation.
"It is making your idea move through a series of drawings. Many times I have to create the mood to fit properly into the sequences to establish the feeling," he explained. "Animation has to do with color changes, background effects such as water, clouds, smoke, designs, patterns and changes in the mood of the picture."
|
Joshua Meador is a conservative painter, but feels that a lot of conservatives are ignoring valuable points of the modern trend in art.
"I think conservative artists can gain much, particularly from the brilliance of color and strong design in composition," he said. "We could not ask for anything more beautiful than the symmetry of modern building. I think it is expressive of our century and country."
|
Joshua Meador's Warming in the Sun,
(The figure in this painting is Joshua's wife, Libby,
spreading a picnic while Josh painted. Libby told us a mountain lion had scampered down and up a not too distant hill as they arrived. The painting is presently in the Meador family's private collection.)
|
Work Not Modernistic
Noting his interpretation of one of the lovely spots in our valley, I said he did not lean toward modernism. |

through Bodega Bay Heritage Gallery |
"No, I think I'm inclined toward impressionism and the conservative school. I want to paint and interpret the way I feel and not be influenced by any one school."
As to adherence to fundamental rule, he admitted, "I like to select a subject according to the emotional quality and enjoy painting it emotionally rather than breaking it down to rule, form or dynamic symmetry."
