Key collections
Harrison, Newton, 1932-Newton Harrison, born in 1932 in Brooklyn, New York, graduated from the Yale University School of Art and Architecture in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1964 with a BFA and from Yale University Graduate School of Fine Arts in 1965 with an MFA. Newton also attended Antioch College (1950-1952) in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia (1952-1953, 1955-1957), where he received a certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and won their traveling fellowship. Newton was dra!ed into the Korean War and served in the Army (1953-1955).
Newton knew he wanted to be an artist from a young age and immersed himself in art. At 14, he was a sculptor’s apprentice, working a!er school and during summer breaks. A!er the Army, Newton completed his studies in Pennsylvania and moved to Florence, Italy, with Helen and their two young children from 1957 to 1960 to study art. A!er living abroad, the Harrisons returned to the United States and lived in New York City’s lower east side. Newton conducted experimental workshops in painting for children at the University Settlement House, Sloane Neighborhood Center, and St. Augustine’s Chapel (1961-1962). He also taught art to at-risk youth at the Henry Street Settlement House (1962). While in graduate school at Yale University, Newton worked as a Teaching Assistant for an experimental workshop in environmental art and a color workshop (1964-1965). A!erwards, the Harrisons moved to Albuquerque, where Newton worked as an assistant professor at the University of New Mexico from 1965 to 1967. Newton and his family le! New Mexico when he cofounded the Visual Arts department at the University of California, San Diego in 1967.
Prior to Newton and Helen’s collaboration, Newton exhibited in a variety of genres, media, and materials typical of many artists in the fi!ies and sixties. Newton began getting commissions and exhibiting in the mid-1950s. During this period, he made large scale figurative sculptures, cast in plaster, plastic, and bronze. Newton’s “Love Groups” are an example of this type of work. In the late 1950s, Newton moved away from sculpture and began creating field and figure-field relationships paintings. The late 1960s saw Newton working with sculpture again along with various technologically based works. An example of this type of work is the “Artificial Aurora Borealis,” a work comprised of five chambers that emit light. The work was commissioned by the Los Angeles County Museum for the Art and Technology Program and executed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, California. This work was a turning point in Newton’s art, as it introduced Newton to physics. The study of physics led him to research biological phenomena, which exposed Newton to ecological concerns. Therea!er, Newton decided to make these issues central to all future work.
