ABRAHAM WALKOWITZ WATERCOLOR -ABRAHAM WALKOWITZ WATERCOLOR - "NEW YORK CITY" (1912)Abraham Walkowitz (American born in Russia, 1878-1965). "New York City" watercolor on paper, 1912. Signed and dated in pencil on lower left. A magnificent example of Abraham Walkowitz's masterful interpretations of New York City's palpable energy and modernity, this avant garde cityscape demonstrates the vocabulary, structure, and gesture of Walkowitz's visual language which conveyed his penchant for geometry, lyrical line, and improvisation. While his approach drew influences from modern masters such as Cezanne, he created is own unique style that would inspire future generations of artistic innovators including the Abstract Expressionists. Size of sight view: 11.5" L x 8.125" W (29.2 cm x 20.6 cm) Size of frame: 17.125" L x 14.375" W (43.5 cm x 36.5 cm)
According to curator Patrick Shaw Cable, "Walkowitz's most important legacy is arguably his masterful and wide-ranging draftsmanship...The bold ink New York Abstraction illustrates ...a major theme and mode of expression for Walkowitz-the vital dynamism and power of the modern metropolis, translated in an anthropomorphic way through dense arrangements of simplified forms and rushing lines....The simultaneously organic and geometric composition reminds us of the following words used by historian Gail Levin to summarize Walkowitz's modernist contribution, 'Walkowitz was among the first American artists...to develop a personal, lyrical abstract style based on [Kandinsky's] principles. Walkowitz suggests continuity between the first American avant-garde and the Abstract Expressionists'" (Modern American Painting 1907-1936: The Maria and Barry King Collection, exhibition catalogue, El Paso Museum of Art, El Paso, Texas, 2013, pp. 73-74).
Many Americanists agree that Abraham Walkowitz was the first artist to exhibit indisputably Modernist paintings in the US. Walkowitz exhibited at the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, the New York Armory Show of 1913 where he had 12 works accepted to exhibit, a well as the 1916 Forum Exhibition. Also a regular at Alfred Stieglitz's famous 291 gallery, Walkowitz passionately engaged in debates about modern art in America, supporting experimentation in the arts that fueled Modernism. In addition, Walkowitz affiliated himself with fellow Modernists Arthur Dove, John Marin, and Marsden Hartley in New York City. Hartley actually introduced Walkowitz to Alfred Stieglitz in 1911, and Walkowitz' art was exhibited four times at 291 between 1912 and the gallery's closing in 1917. In addition, Walkowitz is known for his drawings of the avant garde dancer Isadora Duncan. Max Weber introduced them in Auguste Rodin's studio, and Walkowitz went on to crete over 5,000 drawings of Duncan whose dancing was regarded as the epitome of modern expression. In Walkowitz's words, "She (Duncan) had no laws. She did not dance according to the rules. She created. Her body was music. It was a body electric, like Walt Whitman." (Lerner, Abram, and Bartlett Cowdrey. "Oral History Interview With Abraham Walkowitz." 8 Dec. & 22 Dec. 1958. Smithsonian Archives of American Art)
