Hyperallergic: A Retrospective of Andrew Wyeth, a Painter Both Loved and Loathed

Andrew Wyeth, “Anna Christina” (1967) tempera on panel, 21 ½ x 23 ½ in. jointly owned by the Brandywine River Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, anonymous gifts, 2002 (© 2017 Andrew Wyeth/Artists Rights Society (ARS))

CHADDS FORD, Pa. — Riddle me this: Is the Whitney Biennial a real Whitney Biennial if it goes without protest? In 1960, back when the exhibition was held annually, Edward Hopper urged Andrew Wyeth to sign his letter protesting the near exclusion of realist painting. The artist declined, distancing himself from the New York art world’s socio-political arguments, content with what was in front of him, like Giorgio Morandi with his bottles. Yet, from the late ’60s on, Wyeth would be labeled a reactionary — which is rather like taking issue with a rock for not taking issue with you — and conservative, overlooking John F. Kennedy honoring him in 1963 with a Medal of Freedom for depicting “verities and delights of everyday life” in the “great humanist tradition.” To this day his East Coast critics spend a surprising amount of energy dismissing his relevance.

Jerry Saltz’s 2009 obituary on Wyeth begins by claiming “almost no one in the art world ever thought of or cared much about [him]” thereby slighting Alfred Barr, Elaine de Kooning, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, for starters. More, Robert Hughes did a 180 switch, lauding the painter after his death. “[I]n over three decades in the art world, I have never heard one artist, art student, teacher, critic, collector, or curator mention his name,” Saltz goes on. One wonders whether he missed his wife Roberta Smith’s 1998 New York Times review “New Light on Wyeth’s Outer and Inner Landscapes” on Wyeth’s Whitney Museum show. Was he also completely unaware of photographer Collier Schorr’s obsession with Wyeth’s Helga pictures? “Wyeth was considered so conservative,” Saltz continues, “that even the Metropolitan Museum of Art declined an offer to exhibit his work.” No. The first one-person exhibition the Met ever gave to a living American artist was “Two World’s of Andrew Wyeth: Kuerners and Olsons” curated by director Thomas Hoving in 1976, previewed by Grace Glueck and reviewed by Hilton Kramer in The New York Times, where more argument ensued.

Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw doesn’t ignore art history in her recent piece “Andrew Wyeth’s Black Paintings,” published in the exhibition catalogue for the Brandywine River Museum of Art’s present retrospective on the painter; she rewrites it. It’s not apparent she saw her claimed point of departure: the 2001 “Andrew Wyeth: Close Friends” exhibition of seventy-four works he made of his African-American friends and neighbors over a seventy-year span. But in Shaw’s retelling, Wyeth is a racist oppressor who exploited poor blacks for his own artistic ends. “My issue is more with my field, rather than with the paintings,” Ted Loos cites her as saying, which implies a personal agenda guiding her efforts. It’s helpful to understand this motive, because doing so gives context to the reliably derogatory insinuations and defamatory takes on Wyeth and his art — all free of responsible research.

Shaw makes much of Wyeth’s lifelong black friend and frequent model David Lawrence’s nickname “Doo-Doo,” (which the Wyeth family spelled “Dodo”) to insinuate Wyeth gave him this disparaging moniker. Unmentioned is who dubbed him this — Dodo’s cousin, mom, the mailman? — and that it was only decades later (in the 1950s) “doo-doo” picked up its scatological connotations. So, for the record, Wyeth did not in fact call his best friend “shit.” But Shaw did substantially misrepresent two people’s lives by getting the etymology of six letters wrong. It may seem trivial to address this, but one must select examples of her speculative trivialities when their accumulation is the whole of her piece.

Shaw holds up Senna Moore as the most artistically violated of his models, especially in “Dryad” (2000/2007), where the painter darkens her skin to envelop her within a tree’s shadow. (Dryads are mythological beings that live inside trees.) The incurious takeaway is, in Wyeth’s paintings, “black bodies could be eliminated entirely.” Despite her simplistic reading, Shaw indicates no knowledge that Senna Moore is actually alive — and perhaps available for an interview (as is a male model). In opting out of this exchange, to quote the writer’s own words, Shaw “eliminated entirely” the very black female voice she arrogated herself to speak on behalf of. Knowing none of Wyeth’s models or the artist, Shaw could, to recall her accusation, “exert a great deal of control over how [s]he imagined them.”

In Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania over 100 works by Andrew Wyeth are on display at the Brandywine for Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect, a comprehensive exhibition covering works from 1936 to his last in 2008, titled “Goodbye.” An agrarian in an age of war, living “farm to table” in contemporary parlance, his subjects — neighbors, the fields, woods, and streams, dilapidated houses, interiors mixed with still lifes, scandalizing nudes, shorelines, boats, and boots — have potential to inspire and disgust, weary and delight, according to the viewer and often the era’s politics.

Were Wyeth not so beloved by the general public, it’s unlikely the critics — mostly writing in the popular press — would have been so committed to scorning him. The policing of borders separating fine art from illustration was first-order, boring business for critics whose opinions on Wyeth were evidently ignored, if they registered at all with collectors and postcard-buyers alike. Surveys conducted in 1973 and 2006, years bookending Wyeth’s most tarred and feathered moments in the press, evidenced no alteration in the museum-going public’s approval: 86% for “enjoyment” of his paintings, according to exhibition exit polls by Wanda M. Corn and Lynda M. O’Leary. Wyeth sought to make images widely intelligible and by succeeding in that, rendered third-party mediation largely irrelevant, surely a sore spot for professional mouthpieces of taste. This meant authoritative interpretation of his art was his own, exemplified by Thomas Hoving’s choice to interview the artist for the 1976 exhibition catalogue, rather than commission essays.

Wyeth, elsewhere, writes: “I think one’s art goes as far and as deep as one’s love goes. I see no reason for painting but that. If I have anything to offer, it is my emotional contact with the place where I live and the people [I know].

This quote is slightly revolting in its sentimentality. We rid ourselves of softer emotions in 20th-century art. But “deep love” is not saccharine if we imagine that Wyeth had been a poet, novelist, or essayist. Think of beauty, for example.

“At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.”

Okay, that one’s by Toni Morrison. See? It’s nice. It’s a literary attitude, perhaps, that’s needed to enter the world of Andrew Wyeth, which is not to say it’s easy. Francis Weiss, in the academic reader Rethinking Andrew Wyeth, posits Robert Frost as akin to Wyeth in artistic aim. “You and I have something in common,” Frost wrote Wyeth, “that almost makes me one wonder if we hadn’t influenced each other, been brought up in the same family.” They both aimed their art at the common viewer, eschewing urbane tastes, crafting work within a familiar tradition.

Despite the criticism claiming Wyeth’s weathered pastorals were escapist, the works are, like Frost’s poems, a space for darker dreaming and experiencing alienation, isolation, and a distinctly 20th-century form of anxiety. “At its most aesthetically convincing,” Donald Kuspit holds, “Wyeth’s art brings us to consciousness of the body’s existence — bodiliness as such, bodiliness as the essence of existence.” This seems right. All of his works, at least from the late 1940s on, are relentlessly focused at an observational level, almost cruel at times, while suffused with a range of moods, from the austere to the theatrical, as if visual facts were a container for fictions. Or, invoking the novelist Émile Zola’s words: “a corner of creation seen through a temperament.”

The Japanese see abstract meanings too. In the new catalogue for the Brandywine exhibition, Shuji Takahashi reveals why Wyeth’s work is collected in Japan more than in any other country but this one, and why Wyeth felt more understood there. His paintings reflect “the Japanese sense of life and death, a belief … that people are part of the great cycle of nature.” The tempera “Thin Ice” (1969) in the show is the most abstract piece, and is exhibited in America for the first time in decades. The orange and brown leaves in a stream under an ice sheet suggest a painter who could’ve been an accomplished abstract artist had he not found the genre dull.

The Japanese never succumbed to the form of western modernity Wyeth’s art rejects, that is, the separation of truth from beauty. Here, what is beautiful cannot be true, and what is true cannot be beautiful. Europe caught this earlier, with the First World War — hence Dadaism — and then this view rose in the United States with WWII. Jackson Pollock and the Abstract Expressionist’s bent toward self-obliteration was incommensurable with a tenacious realism holding forth that humans are inherently dignified. Pop Art then successfully brought back realist imagery, but only by exhausting the meaning of the images’ referents. It’s striking to note Wyeth’s painting of Tom Clark in “Chester County” (1962) was made the same year Warhol introduced his serialized images of Campbell’ Soup. Wyeth was pursuing the human affect in his paintings that Pop Art was laying to rest.

When Robert Rosenblum said in 1977 that Andrew Wyeth was both the most overrated and underrated living American artist, he had it right. The “best” and “worst” artist would’ve been better candidates, but in accounting for collective perceptions, Wyeth did divide. This friction is playing out at the Museum of Modern Art right now. “Christina’s World” (1938), the famous painting of crippled Christina crawling up a hill toward home, was acquired as a work then considered categorically modern, surrealist. But as its popularity grew with the public, the museum’s curatorial thrust instead went toward Abstract-Expressionism, forcing MoMA into its present fix. It keeps the painting at home to do the heavy lifting — it’s their Mona Lisa for ticket sales and merchandising — but rejects displaying it as a great work of art. It’s rarely lent, citing concerns about its condition, a claim contradicted by their relegating it to the heavily trafficked hallway, to be appreciated en route to the toilet. Thus the rub: the museum’s curators let visitors know Wyeth is not a canonical artist, to be put in an legitimate gallery space, while also being substantially reliant on his work for financial support.

The artist’s watercolor landscapes are often considered his best works, or to his dedicated detractors, the least bad — which might in part be due to their purported affinity to Abstract Expressionism. Regardless, they are great works. There are no physical, mental, or material intermediaries between the artist’s spirit and his image. Wyeth’s brush does not represent the subject; it discovers it. The painting is a visual artifact and its process of making are the result of an experiential whole of pointed intention. Mistaking his facility as bravura, which is often done with these works, is like mistaking the beauty in an athlete’s skill — hard won by discipline — for ease.

Given that so much handwringing has been generated about Wyeth for at least the last fifty years, his work is already interesting. The criticisms against him are more rich, varied, and contradictory than any other artist of the 20th century, with him being both lascivious and sexually repressed, impossibly fantastical and boringly descriptive, embarrassingly sentimental and oppressively racist, idyllic and depressed, undeservedly famous and nobody at all. The reasons to like him are less fanciful and few. He was a good guy, made likable pictures, and was a fantastic painter with a rare deftness of touch, able to make innumerable paintings of the same hill and never repeat himself, nail a subject in six seconds or six months, paint from imagination a picture more convincing than a photograph, keep brushes wet for 75 years, and have it in him to paint a “Goodbye” when he knows it’s time to go.

Andrew Wyeth: In Retrospect continues at the Brandywine River Museum of Art (1 Hoffman’s Mill Road, Chadds Ford, PA) through September 17, 2017.

Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is an impeccably smart film. For 1967, it approaches the issue of interracial marriage without judgment and without prejudice. Though the question of whether John (Sidney Poitier) and Joanna (Katharine Houghton) may marry is put to Joanna's white parents Matt (Spencer Tracy) and Christina Drayton (Katharine Hepburn), the Drayton family is not the only one put on trial. Their black maid Tillie (Isabel Sanford) and John's parents, John Sr. (Roy E. Glenn) and Mary Prentice (Beah Richards) are forced to tackle their own preconceived notions about interracial marriage. As a result, the film does not just attack whites for their prejudice, but blacks as well. After so many years being told that this was wrong, no matter one's politics, seeing your child come home with a person of the opposite race is somewhat of a surprise. In this film from director Stanley Kramer, every person of every race concerned is forced to ask themselves whether or not they accept this pairing and why they feel the way that they do. This allows the film to not damn any specific race, instead it shows it as an issue that everybody must confront and overcome to see the truth: love is love.

Smartly confronting each player in the situation and slowly bringing them all to the side of John and Joanna after each character is allowed to voice their concerns and learn their miscalculations, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a film that is about learning. It is not about scolding or putting those racists in their place. There may be a time for that, but it is not in this time. Rather, it is to force those who are prejudiced to watch this film and realize the error of their ways. The stubbornness and refusal to change that has warped their line of thinking into believing that there is a logical reason as to why blacks and whites should not marry. By putting everybody and their internalized prejudice to task over this potential union by showing the authenticity and purity of the love shared by these two people while also pointing to that love repeatedly as to why any prejudice is illogical, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is a film that lives up to its obvious hype as a crucially important film. It has a message. It communicates that message without preaching. It explains why it is right, without damning those who are a bit taken aback (unless it stems from hatred or stupidity/ignorance, which is fair). It offers evidence to the fact that it is right. In today's day and age, this is far too uncommon in these divisive times.

What does not hurt this effective communication is the film's generally light tone. Finding comedy in the commentary of its participants and their reactions, the film rides on the natural comedic chemistry shared by Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, which allows it to become a deeply funny film. When John's parents come in and see Joanna for the first time, the comedy only improves with the hilarity found in the awkwardness and shock of all relevant parties and being of the highest order. While the film is not as witty as screwball comedies or joke-reliant like comedies that would follow it in the years to come, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner has a very human sense of humor. It is more subtly observational and relies upon the audience to pick up the comedic moments that occur in the background, in deliveries of lines, or in reaction shots. The natural and entirely human comedy found in this film is the type of comedy one can find in their own home and, as a result, it makes the Drayton home feel like the audience's very own. By doing this, it makes the issues put forth feel relevant, intimate, and pertinent to the lives of the audience, which is a very important step that is often missed when making an issue-based film.

In writing its romance, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is undeniably rather cute. Rushing into love with 37-year-old John and 23-year-old Joanna falling head over heels with one another, the two have no misconceptions about the world that awaits them, but they are nonetheless infatuated with one another. The writing is obviously intentionally cute to make their love more readily apparent to those who still harbor prejudice in their hearts, but it is still equally communicated by their interactions with one another and with others. Though he loves her, John is not willing to take her from her parents without their blessing, for fear of the pain it will cause Joanna. It is a selfless act she is unaware of, but underscores the love and respect he feels for her, while also having an awareness of the challenges before them. On the part of Joanna, her radiancy is immediately felt by Monsignor Ryan (Cecil Kellaway) when he sees her for the first time with John and it is felt by the audience in equal measure. She is joyous when she is with John and it is easily communicated that she is starstruck through the physical and facial acting done by Katharine Houghton. By the end of the film, it is a challenge to find why these two should not be wed, purely by spending just under two hours with them. By posing the film as a sort of mock wedding where the parents are asked to object to this holy union that is approved of by a priest, the film subtly puts the audience in the same boat. We see the love. We see the arguments. We see the challenges. Do we have any objections before they are quickly whisked away to say "I do" or can these two young lovers join one another in holy matrimony?

A funny, authentic, and tremendously acted film about an issue that was paramount in 1967, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner's incredible approach to the issue is what still makes it relevant today. Though the right to marry between the races was granted six months before the film came out, its confronting of prejudice and discovering why somebody would oppose their child marrying somebody of the opposite race is what makes it relevant then and even now. In this divisive time, it is not enough to just write off people as racists or prejudiced. Instead, one must ask why they feel that way and why they hold those beliefs. This applies not just to interracial marriage, but to same-sex marriage, immigration as it pertains to Muslims, or any other issue that confronts prejudices held by individuals. It is this longevity and timeless nature of the film that makes it feel so fresh, which is only bolstered by its natural acting performances from the whole cast, the lovely and cute romance, and the very authentic familial humor the film embraces. An important film in 1967, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner manages to be just as important in 2017, as underscored by Jordan Peele's Get Out.

It was an interesting experience for me to hear myself in the language of my novel, to hear my characters in a foreign language so wonderfully translated by Christina E. Kramer.

Desperately Seeking Relevancy: Madonna slams Boy Scouts at GLAAD awards

http://twitter.com/#!/vanityboi/status/313133338565148672

Aww! The Material Girl was searching for some sweet, sweet anti-Boy Scouts buzz during the GLAAD (The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) awards this weekend.

#GLAADForMadonna “@cedavi: “@lilialuciano: Room going wild for Madonna- rooting for #boyscouts equality twitter.com/lilialuciano/s…””

— Jay MDNA (@JasonMDNA) March 17, 2013

Retweet to thank #Madonna for challenging the @boyscouts on their shameful, discriminatory #LGBT ban at @glaad awards twitter.com/Clarknt67/stat…

— Scott Wooledge (@Clarknt67) March 17, 2013

#Madonna advocating for equality in the @boyscouts!!!Amazing! twitter.com/Theemuki/statu…

— David Duran (@Theemuki) March 17, 2013

Not everyone was as impressed.

‘I wanna join the boy scouts.. and I think they should change their stupid rules’ Thank you for your intelligent contribution, Madonna

— Jessica E (@_jegg) March 18, 2013

Madonna & DeGeneres can shut it. The Boy Scouts is more about helping boys become men & leaders not camping. That’s a method. #tgdn

— Richard Rivette (@VoteRivette) March 18, 2013

@mrliberty68 @fox411 It looks like Madonna is trying to bully the Boy Scouts!

— John Kramer (@mrliberty68) March 18, 2013

Hey #Madonna, if you don’t like what the boy scouts stand for, leave them alone and join another club. #liberty

— Joe Stone(@jdstone79) March 18, 2013

If I were the Boy Scouts I’d take note of the respect they’re being shown by ppl like Madonna and not change my policy.

— Moxie Mom (@moxiemom) March 18, 2013

That’s it! Gays must be allowed in The Boy Scouts! Madonna has donned a boys scout uniform..changed my mind instantly…

— Monica Anthony (@meanthony1) March 18, 2013

Madonna: you are a *straight woman* that wore a Boy Scouts uniform to urge them to allow gay members congrats on the irrelevancy

— miranda (@bleh) March 18, 2013

Madonna,a fine outstanding example of Morality speaks out against Boy Scouts.I must rush right out and follow her beliefs.Moron. #tcot

— Jeff Jones (@jjones0722) March 18, 2013

Madonna in a Boy Scouts uniform is a perfect example of liberals who dress the part – and that’s all.

— nikki (@eastendville) March 18, 2013

Slacktivism at its most pitiful.

Madonna gave Anderson Cooper a GLAAD award wearing a Boy Scouts uniform. For this she’ll get her “trying to stay relevant” badge.

— Jeff Snider (@OnAirWithJeff) March 18, 2013

Heh. Desperately seeking relevance. And failing.

Carly Rae Jepsen backs out of Boy Scouts concert, cites ‘battle for gay rights’

Priorities! Obama inserts himself in Boy Scouts business; Journalists mock questioning it

‘Nothing’s gayer than a Boy Scout uniform’; Celebs, others react to news of possible lift of gay Scout ban

Merck Foundation pulls funding from Boy Scouts due to sexual orientation policy

Not enough material, girl: Instagram threatens to close Madonna’s account over ‘community standards’

Immaterial Girl: Madonna tells concert-goers in La., Texas ‘vote for Obama’; Fans report boos, walk-outs

Madonna flaunts Obama tramp stamp again, waves toy guns in Denver

Gutsy call: Madonna endorses Obama via body paint

Madonna’s wardrobe malfunction: Christina Applegate says ‘What’s a little nip slip?’ Santorum calls it ‘sign of cultural decline’
