Studio Views: Selections from the Collection
Studio Views is an exhibition selected from the museum鈥檚 permanent collection, as a companion to Life Studies: Figurative Artists at the Schulenburg Studio, which is installed in our large BofA/Hunter Gallery, from October 24, 2015 through January 10, 2016. Studio Views presents a variety of perspectives on the working environment of artists, from the realist photographic images of artists鈥� studios, such as Renate Ponsold Motherwell鈥檚 photograph of Robert Motherwell in his Provincetown studio, and Clare Flanders鈥� image of Edward Hopper鈥檚 working space in Truro, A World Apart, to Salvadore Del Deo鈥檚 collage of images from his own studio, Studio Concept II, and Harry Holl鈥檚 Cubist-inspired self-portrait, The Potter.
In the same way that each new development in artistic theory has affected the way artists have looked at the external world, these approaches have also affected how artists have seen themselves, their fellow artists, and their own work spaces. Blanche Lazzell鈥檚 1935 depiction of her own studio in the early twentieth century reflects her interest in the new experiments in white-line printmaking occurring in Provincetown at the time, as well as her response to the flat planes and altered perspectives of Paul C茅zanne and the Cubists. Similarly, Howard Gibbs鈥檚 Oracle of the Season shows the influence that the work of Picasso and the Surrealists had on him in the 1940鈥檚.
We hope that this installation helps each visitor to get a glimpse into some of these artists鈥� more intimate worlds, and also helps to provide an understanding of how varied the art making has been on Cape Cod over the years, and how that variety is reflected in the museum鈥檚 permanent collection.
