Exhibition: William H. Johnson: Full Circle
Feb 10, 2018 — Jun 10, 2018
One of the most important African-American artists of his time, William H. Johnson (1901-1970) was born in Florence, South Carolina. As a youngster, Johnson copied comics from the local newspaper. He also worked to help support himself and his family. By the age of seventeen, he had saved enough to go to New York. He moved to Harlem, where he worked as a hotel porter, cook, and stevedore while studying at the National Academy of Design with Impressionist Charles Hawthorne. Hawthorne financed Johnson’s first trip abroad, and, in 1926, Johnson settled in Paris, where he experimented with French Post-Impressionist styles, using bright colors and deliberate brushstrokes. These early European works highlighted his eager assimilation of the styles of such artists as Vincent van Gogh and Chaim Soutine. While working in southern France, Johnson met Holcha Krake, a Danish artist. They married in 1930 and made their home in Kerteminde, Denmark, a fishing village that is the subject of much of Johnson’s work of the period. In 1935 the couple traveled to Norway where they painted, exhibited, and met the modern expressionist master Edvard Munch, whom Johnson greatly admired.
In 1994, Steve Turner, gallerist and art historian, retraced Johnson’s European sojourn in search of the artist’s collectors and paintings. Turner found that the artist enjoyed a highly respected career. He received extensive press coverage during the 1930s and boasted a following of collectors who avidly acquired his work. Turner subsequently mounted an exhibition titled William H. Johnson: Truth Be Told, which traveled to four museums in 1998-1999 and shed new light on Johnson’s life and career.
This installation features twenty-six of the works collected by Turner in Scandinavia and brings the art of William H. Johnson full circle, from his native South Carolina to international centers of modernism—Paris, Oslo, and New York—and back to the state of his birth, where his standing as a significant painter is more fully realized today.

Artist | Jean Fautrier (1898-1964 in France)
Title | Chrysanthemums on a Table (c.1927)
oil on canvas
65 x 81 cm
Exhibitor | Art Institute of Chicago
www.artic.edu/artworks/265938/chrysanthemes-sur-une-table
In the 1920s Jean Fautrier was part of a circle of artists, including Chaim Soutine and Marc Chagall, whose work grappled with subjects of human tragedy. Here, in a still life of discarded chrysanthemums, the flowers’ decay suggests moral decline and contrasts with the sensual, energetic paint application. Fautrier’s work became less figural over time, approaching total abstraction from the 1940s onward, but he continued to explore themes of suffering, erotic feeling, and death in these later works.

Artist | Chaïm Soutine (1893 in Belarus - 1943 in France)
Title | Le Village (c.1923)
oil on canvas
73.5 x 92 cm
Exhibitor | Musée de l'Orangerie
www.musee-orangerie.fr/en/artworks/le-village-196565
Chaim Soutine was born in the region of Minsk (present-day Belarus), within the Russian Empire and settled in Paris in 1913, where he forged friendships with artists living in Montparnasse, including the painters Marc Chagall, Amedeo Modigliani and the sculptors jacques Lipchitz and Ossip Zadkine. After spending three years in the south of France, he returned to Paris in 1922 and met Paul Guillaume. This meeting made Soutine's name on both sides of the Atlantic; Guillaume introduced the artist to Albert Barnes, an art enthusiast eager for new work, who was planning to set up a foundation in Philadelphia and open it to visitors. The Musée de l'Orangerie boasts twenty-two paintings by the artist and, along with the Barnes Foundation, has the largest collection of works by Soutine in the world.
This very balanced corpus reflects the artist's habit of working by theme in series. Soutine subjected portraits, still lifes and landscapes alike to violent distortions, combining Expressionist brushwork with melancholy lyricism. Yet beneath the formal impetuousness of his paintings lies a classical solidity which is evident in their composition. Soutine was steeped in older traditions of painting which he had studied tirelessly at the Louvre, and referenced them continuously.

Detroit Institute of Arts, art museum in Detroit, Michigan, U.S., noted for its collection of American paintings from the 19th century and its Dutch, Flemish, and Italian paintings from the Renaissance through the Baroque period. It is also known for a large collection of arts of antiquity and of the Islamic world, based on works acquired by pharmaceutical magnate Frederick Stearns. The Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and ancient Persian holdings have been augmented by artifacts from western Europe, Mesopotamia, and ancient Arabia. The museum also houses traditional Asian, African, Oceanian, and Native American works and contemporary art from around the world.
The museum was founded in 1885 by a group of Detroit citizens. It was given to the city in 1919 and moved into its present Neoclassical-style structure in 1927. It was enlarged by additions completed in 1966 and 1971. The museum’s central courtyard is decorated with a series of 27 murals by the Mexican painter Diego Rivera that depict the automobile industry. In 2001 the museum created a new department, the General Motors Center for African American Art, and in 2010 it opened a gallery dedicated to Islamic art.
