A propos de cet article

After the closing of his first art gallery in 1917, photographer AlfredStieglitz reemerged in the New York art world in the 1920s. He achieved his comebackin large part through the innovative means he used to promote himself and theartists of his inner circle. Stieglitz and a number of well-established critics drewon period conceptions of sexuality, gender, and cultural identity to characterizethe artists he championed as the fulfillment of a shared vision of a vital, nonrepressed American art.In Painting Gender, Constructing Theory, Marcia Brennanexamines how Stieglitz and the critics drew on early-twentieth-century discourses onsex and the psyche, particularly the theories of Sigmund Freud and Havelock Ellis, to characterize the artworks of the Stieglitz circle. Critics routinely describedthe often highly abstracted paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe, Arthur Dove, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Charles Demuth as transparent displays of the most intimateaspects of the self, taking both subject matter and painterly form to be guided bythe artist's own gendered and psychic energies.Focusing on the key historicalcriticism and artworks, Brennan shows how the identities of all five Stieglitzcircle artists were presented in terms of the masculinity and femininity, and theheterosexuality and homosexuality, thought to be embedded in their work. Brennanalso discusses Stieglitz's relation to competing artistic and critical movements, including Thomas Hart Benton's regionalist art and Clement Greenberg's reformulationof formalism. Arguing that American formalist criticism consisted of a complex andparadoxical mixture of corporeality and disembodied transcendence, Brennan providesinsight not only into the works of the Stieglitz circle but into the development offormalist criticism itself. How critical conceptions of gender and sexuality helped to advance the artistic careers of the Alfred Stieglitz Circle and influenced American formalist aesthetics.…
