Hall Groat Sr. Biography, American Impressionist Learn about the life and career of this important American Impressionist painter, living and working in Central New York. Hall Groat Sr, an American Impressionist painter is a native of Syracuse, New York, where he studied painting; worked towards his Master of Fines Arts degree and began his life long career as an artist. Groat has dedicated his entire full-time professional career, spanning over forty years, to pursuing his passion for art. The Berkshire Museum was the first of several museums worldwide to acquire a major Groat work. The Museum purchased the prize winner, Megalopolis, one of the largest of Groat’s railroad paintings. This is where the late Norman Rockwell first discovered him and invited the then twenty-nine year old to dinner in the Berkshires. The United Nations awarded Groat with the honor of having a series of paintings for their stamp reproduction. The series of ten paintings is in the permanent collections of United Nations Philatelic Museum in Geneva, Switzerland. In addition, Groat’s paintings are included in the collections of notables such as President Jimmy Carter, the late Jacob Javits, Henry Kissinger, Fred Perry, Sir Michael Tippett, Christopher Keane, and the late Arthur Fiedler. Ambassadors among countless others have also invested in his work. In recent years, Groat has turned his attention to the corporate world with emphasis on banks, churches, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. His work is included in numerous corporate collections throughout the world today. Clement Greenberg, one of the nation’s foremost art critics, once stated that “Hall Groat was an artist who could make it” and he was proven correct.

In many of the works presented, we find the paint is applied in broad strokes or highly apparent daubs and drips, heightening our sense of disparity between the creative energy of the artist and the refined sophistication of the image. The surface of these paintings is thicker, with the addition of sand and occasionally collage to the medium, so that lines are inscribed into the surface as often as painted upon it. The hallmark of Groat’s style remains his uncanny ability to organize compositions through color. But those who recall the soft, brooding landscapes of the past will find here a warmer, more vibrant palette, with more strident contrasts of both hue and value. So, too, has the ambient light of earlier landscapes become more focused and dramatic. In paintings like Monhegan Surf, the light which illuminates the landscape has become the subject of the painting. “Groat’s depiction often treads a fine line between realism and abstraction. Objects or entire scenes come into our presence with the force of belated recognition.” The Self-representing Artist By Hall Groat Sr. Forty years of dragging art to galleries from Cape Cod to Sarasota and struggling to make a living have come to an end. The way artists have had to work with galleries as middlemen was a big disaster. Most artists have had to put their art on consignment while the galleries keep hiking up their commissions. Freedom for artists has come by way of cyberspace and a new breed of self-representing artists are enjoying what is rightfully theirs–direct contact with their customers. We are now the deal makers and can reap the profits without working through an established gallery. No longer is there a need for a critic to nod approval to a young artist who dreads what a bad review can do to his career. The artist is in the driver’s seat now and galleries as we know them are dying on the vine. each year there are fewer of these antiquated establishments in business. Art lovers can now enjoy the luxury of attending an opening on-line and meet the artist through his podcast or personal on line store or any number of innovating ideas.

LARGE ANTIQUE MID CENTURY MODERN ABSTRACT OIL PAINTING OLD VINTAGE POLLOCK 1959

THIS WORK IS SIGNED AND DATED 1959 IN THE LOWER RIGHTHAND CORNER, HOWEVER THE SIGNATURE IS ILLEGIBLE. PERHAPS YOU RECOGNIZE THE ARTIST? WE ACQUIRED THIS PIECE FROM A PRIVATE MID CENTURY MODERN ESTATE IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA. THE DECEASED OWNER WAS A WORLD TRAVELER. THE HOME WAS FILLED WITH EXQUISITE MODERN FURNITURE AND FINE ART. GOOD OVERALL CONDITION. DIMENSIONS: 72” LONG x 20” HIGH. Jackson Pollock (1912 – 1956) was active/lived in New York, Wyoming. Jackson Pollock is known for Gestural painting, abstract expressionism. Jackson Pollock Born: 1912 – Cody, Wyoming Died: 1956 – Southampton, New York Born in Cody, Wyoming to Scotch-Irish parents, Jackson Pollock was dubbed “Jack the Dripper” (Time magazine 1956) for his revolutionary technique of gestural painting that freed generations of American artists from academic strictures. He used dissonant, garish colors, and applied paint with energetic circular motions to large canvases so that his work exuded physical energy. It also, according to many art historians, reflected his own turbulent, manic depressive personality. Pollock was raised in Arizona and California and helped his father in the late 1920s with a surveying job on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It is thought that his life-long compulsive fear and fascination of vast, open spaces “probably originated at this time”. (Anschutz Collection) During these years, he and his brothers investigated Indian mounds near Phoenix by the home of a family named Minsch where Pollock's mother worked as a housekeeper. From those experiences, Pollock later used occasional Indian symbolism in his paintings. He also had ongoing interest in Southwest Indians and under his bed kept twelve volumes on these subjects of illustrated annual reports from the Smithsonian Institution. After living as a youth in Arizona and not finishing high school, he left to join his brother, Charles Cecil Pollock, at the Art Students League in New York. He never again lived in the West but went through on visits to California. His nostalgia for the West persisted, and he frequently dressed in cowboy garb; some thought his personality traits were akin to those of legendary cowboys–a loner, melancholy, rash, impulsive, quiet, and alcoholic. He went to the Art Students League with the intention of studying with Thomas Hart Benton, the most celebrated artist of the Depression and later a well-known Regionalist painter from Missouri. Benton took a particular interest in Pollock because Benton preferred friendships with “virile and honest” people from the West and Midwest like himself. Benton had the greatest influence on Pollack, teaching that the artist's experience with painting was of more importance than the resulting work. Benton promoted theories of rhythmic balance, dynamic sequence, and “muscular action patterns,” all of which Pollock utilized later in his work. Pollock, from his earliest days studying art in California, was also much influenced by techniques of El Greco, Spanish painter, whose rhythmic repetition of forms he adopted. In the summers in the 1930s, Pollock would “hit the highway,” often going through Oklahoma and the Panhandle of Texas, and from these experiences he did prints showing cowboy and farm activity. He also had work as a W.P.A. artist, working in the Mural Division, which required one painting a month for a public building. By the late 1930s, he was seeking professional treatment for alcoholic depression. He did many expressive paintings, which he said were intended to free him of the yoke of Benton's influence and from his mental problems. He also came under the influence of the Mexican muralists David Siqueiros, Jose Orozco, and Diego Rivera, whose extensive use of symbolism Pollock utilized in his large-scale paintings. In the 1940s, his emotional turmoil led him to themes that were mythic and heroic in highly abstract styles including Cubism, Surrealist automatism, Abstract Expressionism, and the biomorphic forms of Joan Miro. For him, a turning point for public recognition came with his friendship with Peggy Guggenheim, wealthy New York heiress whose money built the Guggenheim Museum. In November, 1943, she gave him a solo exhibition and a contract guaranteeing him one-hundred fifty dollars a month for a year, freeing him from financial straits. She also commissioned him to decorate her apartment. This first Guggenheim exhibition was followed by two others for Pollock. For her, this was the beginning of promoting her “war babies,” unknown American artists whom she thought had promise, and for him, her show of confidence in his work was a great boost to his ego and reputation. Pollock married Lee Krasner, a Russian Jewish artist, with whom he had a crisis-driven relationship but a sharing of interest in mysticism and avant-garde painting. They lived at East Hampton on Long Island, and the move away from the city seemed by 1946 to have a freeing effect on his painting. Much influenced by her theories and encouragement, he began painting increasingly with drips, smears, and giant circular motions over smaller geometric shapes. This technique seemed particularly inspired by readying for an exhibit in 1947 arranged by Betty Parsons, who took over Peggy Guggenheim's Gallery. He made a transition to mural size works asserting that easel painting was a dying form. He laid canvases on the floor, where he felt nearer his work, and feeling totally into the work, likened it to Indian sand painting. He applied paint with sticks, trowels, knives, and by dripping paint. He spoke of the painting taking on a life of its own, and a sense of pure harmony with the creation. It set a new standard in American art, especially when Pollock abandoned brushes completely for dripping and pouring paint to avoid the disruption of reloading the paint brush. He said he had a general notion of what he was about before beginning but that the painting also took on a life of its own. For a period in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he abstained from alcohol and lived quietly on Long Island. However, his success with these works seems to have paralyzed him, and he felt his privacy eroded. Life magazine had a feature on him suggesting that he was “the greatest living painter in the United States.” He returned to drink, which seemed to trigger his creativity, but his paintings began to lack color and were horrifying with eyes and totems. They were done scroll-like with thin black paint on huge bolts of unsized duck cloth. He also did scary self portraits, which revealed himself as tense, confused and despairing. Financially neither he nor Krasner did well and lived off wealthy friends, and the only time he made serious money was 1956, the last year of his life. However, by then, he was producing virtually nothing and was drinking constantly. On August 27, 1956, he died in a one-car auto crash, in which one other person, his female passenger was also killed. He had been a turbulent soul, stilled by the alcoholism that so dominated his life. However, his influence on American art is monumental, reinforced by the fact that ARTNews magazine selected him as one of the top twenty-five most important-ever western artists. According to the article, he “shattered pictorial space.”
