About this title
Synopsis:
During the twentieth century, artists across the United States participated in the modernist movement. But as American modernism evolved during the 1950s and 1960s, the art world too changed, narrowing its vision toward big coastal cities such every bit New York and Los Angeles. Equally these cities increasingly claimed the avant-garde for themselves, artists from the "flyover" states all simply disappeared from the canon of experimental artists. Amongst these forgotten figures is Oklahoma modernist J. Jay McVicker (1911–2004). In Centering Modernism, Louise Siddons fills a curious gap in the history of American art by exploring—and indeed salvaging—McVicker's career and contributions to international modernism.
A painter, printmaker, and sculptor, McVicker served as chair of the Department of Art at Oklahoma State University. As his career progressed, he experimented with different styles and expanded his professional network, exhibiting his piece of work in major national and international galleries and museums. Marshaling evidence from primary sources—including newly discovered archival sources and interviews with the artist's friends, family, and colleagues—Siddons traces McVicker's development from his early regionalist roots through biomorphic brainchild, difficult-edge geometric brainchild, and finally to a style that reflects the shifting boundaries of postmodernism.
Despite his achievements, McVicker—along with other midwestern artists—dropped out of view during the postwar period due to what Siddons terms the coastalization of American art, as critics, artists, and curators from the East and Westward Coasts formed an elite and tightly knit grouping that garnered exclusive institutional access and support. Co-ordinate to Siddons, the bias confronting artists outside that circle continues to this day, even among revisionist scholars.
Featuring virtually one hundred full-colour reproductions of McVicker'southward works, Centering Modernism showcases the extraordinary range of his artistry. Equally the first comprehensive survey of McVicker'southward career and oeuvre, this book is besides the story of American modernism in all its variety.
