A Vision, Joseph Stella, 1925, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

In 1922 Joseph Stella revisited his native Italy and became fascinated by Renaissance painting. After returning to New York, he began to produce detailed, symbolic compositions such as A Vision, which was originally a mural commission. Stella was enthralled by the tropical plants he observed at the Bronx Botanical Garden, and here he imagined a woman growing out of the earth like the exotic flowers on either side of her. This painting’s fantastical subject also aligns it with modern art, particularly the dreamlike imagery of Surrealism. Through prior gift of the Albert Kunstadter Family Foundation Size: 203.2 × 101.6 cm (80 × 40 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

[artbookdap]

Works and details from lyrical, exuberant new release, 'Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature,' published by @delmonico_books @brandywinemuseum & @highmuseumofart⁠ ⁠ Amazingly, this is the first major monograph on the nature-based paintings of the pioneering American modernist whose work is normally associated with Futurism. ⁠ ⁠ If Stella’s NYC cityscapes and paintings of the Brooklyn Bridge were symbols of a modern era, his pictures of flowers, plants, birds and trees were rooted in another, more ancient, primal and paradisaical world. Inspired by archaic and classical precedents as well as his own brand of spirituality, these works are also his least understood. ⁠ ⁠ Edited with text by Stephanie Mayer Heydt. Edited with illustrated chronology by Audrey Lewis. Foreword by Rand Suffolk, Thomas Padon. Text by Ellen E. Roberts, Karli Wurzelbacher, Ara H. Merjian.⁠ ⁠ Pictured:⁠ 1. Red Flower, 1929⁠ 2. Dance of Spring (Song of the Birds), 1924⁠ 3. Aquatic Life (Goldfish), ca. 1919–1922⁠ 4. Study for Song of Birds, ca. 1924⁠ 5. Purissima, 1927⁠ 6. Neapolitan Song, 1929⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #josephstella #visionarynature #josephstellavisionarynature #josephstellanaturepaintings #americanfuturism https://www.instagram.com/p/CoFQfWMuS5V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

By-Products Plants, Joseph Stella, 1923, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

While studying art in Italy and France from 1909 to 1913, Joseph Stella was captivated by Italian Futurism, a movement that employed Cubism’s fragmented forms to express the mechanization and speed of modern life. After he returned to the United States, Stella used Futurism to convey the dynamism of American industry in paintings such as By-Products Plants, which depicts the factories that extract ammonia, tar, and light oils when coal is burned. Such mechanical processes fascinated Stella, and he later recalled, “opposite my studio was a huge factory . . . towering with the gloom of a prison. At night fires gave to innumerable windows menacing blazing looks of demons.” Stella invested his factory paintings with this sense of eerie mystery.
