George Tooker.avi
George Tooker
Nato il 5 agosto 1920 a Brooklyn ( New York ) –
E’ uno dei maggiori pittori Americani .
Da Brooklyn si trasferisce a Belleport, Long Island. Studia con Malcolm Frazier, un pittore ( che s’ispira a Barbizon ) . Frequenta la Philips Academy ( scuola privata ) in Andover nel Massachusetts . Entra subito In contrasto con l’ambiente elitario del campus . Lui ama osservare e capire le classi discriminate , visita le vicine Lowell e Lawrence, da ciò nasce una certa influenza che si manifesta nelle sue opere . Benchè desideroso di frequentare una scuola d’arte , dopo la laurea si reca ad Harvard , ove studia letteratura inglese e diviene un attivista socialista del campus. Nel 1942 si laurea , entra nel Corpo dei Marines ma viene rifiutato per un difetto fisico. Dal 1943 studia con Reginald Marsh e Kenneth Hayes Miller presso la Art Students League di New York. Il suo amico Paul Cadmus, lo incoraggia e l’nvita a sperimentare la tempera all’uovo , veloce nell’ asciugarsi ma di difficile applicazione . Intanto nei suoi dipinti sono raffigurate scene della vita quotidiana americana . Queste figure sono viste con estrema malinconia , ciò le iconizza dando loro con ossessione un grave senso di isolamento psicologico , di anonimità e di un’umiliante ripetizione . Inoltre esse sono spesso di sessualità e razza non ben definite , tutte costrette in ingombranti vestiti e prigioniere dei mondi in cui vivono . Ricerca rigorosamente sia la geometricità che la simmetria , per questo la sua produzione è di sole due opere all’anno . Il Maestro viene di sovente confrontato con Edward Hopper . I suoi quadri più belli sono ” la metropolitana ” ( 1950 ) , ora presso il Whitney Museum of American Art, e ” L’ufficio del Governo ” ( 1956 ) ora presso il Metropolitan Museum of Art. Moltissime sue opere sono presenti nelle collezioni permanenti del Museum of Art di Colombo e lo Smithsonian American Art Museum. La sua prima grande mostra che risale al 1951 avvenne all’ Edwin Hewitt Gallery . Da allora le sue opere vennero esposte presso molte istituzioni tra cui l’Art Institute di Chicago, il Museum of Modern Art e la Galleria Nazionale d’Arte. Di recente ( 2008 -2009 ) , una grande mostra itinerante è stata organizzata dalla National Academy Museum, New York City, la Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, e il Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio. Nel 1968 viene eletto membro della National Academy of Design , poi anche membro della American Accademia delle Arti e delle Lettere. Il 15 novembre 2007 presso la DC Moore Gallery a New York il Presidente Bush gli conferisce la National Medal of Arts con questa motivazione : ” I quadri di Mr . Tooker uniscono realismo e simbolismo, trasformando scene di vita americana in immagini iconiche. Le sue opere metafisiche rivelano il cammino dell’uomo dalla
disperazione alla vittoria . “

Chicago – Day 5 – Going home
This is me returning to Washington D.C., Charlottesville VA, and eventually Staunton VA. I was exhausted, the weather seemed unnaturally warm, but it was nice to see the sun. I went to Chinatown again, that’s where I saw the guy with the mic. What I didn’t get on tape was him chanting “Da-na na-na na-na… Black Man!” (think Batman.) I went to a few museums, it was a nice way to end the trip.
“All Mixed Up” Red House Painters (because it’s my new favorite song, and that’s how I felt at the time. Happy and sad, relieved and reluctant.)
