Odalisques were Matisse’s primary subjectduring the period in which the artist kept astudio in Nice from 1917-30. His principalmodel during the period, HenrietteDarricarrère, was depicted over and overagain, posed in specially staged areas filledwith exotic pillows, objets d’art, embroi-dered cushions, screens, carpets and furni-ture evocative of a harem setting.

Although obviously lacking the lush, brightcolors of his oils and pastels of this period,Matisse’s drawings and prints are no lessexpressive; rather, the monochromaticmedium allows his facility with pen and inkto shine. Various marks, textures andshading suggest patterns found in exotic,

Moroccan inspired furnishings, while thefigure itself, with its sensual, relaxedcurves, is rendered with only a few dynam-ic lines.

With her arm draped langorously overheadand dressed in an exotic blouse and loose,draped pants, the subject is dressed inattire typical of the women the artist hadseen during his travels in Morocco andAlgeria.

As in so many of his sculptures, paintingsand drawings of this period, Matisse’sreclining female subject is presented hereas cooly confident, elegant and theatricallyseductive.

We are grateful to Wanda de Guébriant forher assistance in confirming the authenticityof this work.

In the early 1960s, Chuck Close wasan art student at the University ofWashington in Seattle. Frequenttrips with friends to San Franciscowould expose him not only to music,theater and film but also to the workof First Generation Bay Area artistssuch as Richard Diebenkorn, ElmerBischoff, and David Park.Additionally influenced by instructorAlden Mason, Close would adopt anearly style that utilized the gestural,figurative style of these artists.

Close was chosen to attend YaleSummer School and subsequentlythe Yale MFA program. Faculty inthese programs included BernardChaet, Philip Guston, Jack Tworkov,and Al Held. Their criticism andinstruction, (as well as exposure tothe work of fellow classmatesRichard Serra, Vija Celmins, BriceMarden, Nancy Graves and RobertMangold) would continue to have animpression on his output during thistime.

The two works shown herebookmark the period between whenClose was studying in Washingtonand New Haven. Close’s largecanvases of the early 1960’scombine Abstract Expressionist andBay Area styles in his use of figureswithin an abstract structure,utilization of bright colors andpainterly brushwork. Also notable isthe use of text, which would be aprominent and important element ayear later in his provocative 1961mixed media piece “Betsy RossRevisited.”

These works are from the collectionof Lee Dalton, a childhood friend ofthe artist.

Miguel Covarrubias (1904-1957),the 20th century caricaturist,illustrator, painter, writer,anthropologist and archeologist,was Mexico’s Renaissance man. Hisaccomplishments in these arts, aswell as his revelation throughimages and words, give us anunderstanding and appreciation forthe art and cultural life of Mexico.

One of the regions to attractCovarrubias’ attention was theIsthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico.He spent several years visiting andstudying the diverse people of thearea and learned the Zapoteclanguage in order to bettercommunicate with his nativeinformants.

Nothing escaped Covarrubias’interest. He researched everythingfrom history, archeology, ethnologyand economics to folklore, literature,music, art, religion, sexual customsand family life. What’s more, heparticipated in the excavation ofancient cultural sites from Veracruzto Oaxaca.

Mexico South: The Isthmus ofTehuantepec, was published in 1946.It is a comprehensive portrayal ofhis native land southeast ofVeracruz and of the pre-Hispanicand contemporary inhabitants. Thebook is copiously illustrated withdrawings and gouaches byCovarrubias, as well as ninety-sixphotographs taken by his wife, Rosa.

Examining the paintings in MexicoSouth, one perceives the sensualaspects of Covarrubias’ art, whichwas always bright and livelybecause of his use of euphoriccolors and luminous greensreminiscent of tropical landscapes.

“Old Lady and Girl in EverydayDress” is similar to the gouachefound in Mexico South, which firstappeared in Vogue Magazine inJanuary 1942, in an article titled“Women of Fashion in Tehuantepec,Mexico.” In the foreground is anolder woman dressed conservativelyin a wrapped skirt and a blackshawl, who carries a lacquered bowlwith painted flowers on her head

that gives her a quiet dignity incontrast to the flair and statelinessof the younger girl. She is dressed ina ruffled full skirt in bright lemon-yellow cotton and a geometricchain-stitch embroidered huipil witha pink ribbon bow in her hair. In thebackground is the TehuantepecRiver with bathers and the Oaxacamountains beyond.

To view this painting and the otherpaintings from the book as solelydecorative works of art is to ignoretheir ideological and anthropologicalvalue and Covarrubias’ exceptionalgenius as a gifted documentaryartist.

In a New York Times review of thebook, Diego Rivera wrote:

“Mexico South’s author is anartist of great value so deeply inlove with the subjects which hesketches and paints, that, in orderto know them more and, thus topaint them better, he has enteredwith devotion and intelligenceand humor into everything

concerning the land which he haspainted, and which is a part of hisown country." [1]
