Productbeschrijving
An account of the life and work of a once-famous self-taught American artist of the 1940s, and a study of how artists go missing from public memory.
A garment worker and slipper manufacturer with no training in art, Morris Hirshfield was never expected to make history. Against all odds, his wildly stylized paintings of female figures, often nude, animals, and landscapes became internationally known in the 1940s. Admired by Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, and the French surrealists, his peak moment of visibility occurred in 1943, when the Museum of Modern Art mounted a one-man show of his work. The exhibition was widely reviewedthough mostly reviledby the press, who jeeringly crowned Hirshfield Master of the Two Left Feet for his tendency to display the female body in that unorthodox fashion.
After the artists death in 1946, his work was largely forgotten, but in Master of the Two Left Feet, art historian Richard Meyer rediscovers Hirshfield for twenty-first-century audiences, offering full-color reproductions that capture the vibrant imagination and sheer visual pleasure of Hirshfields paintings. The book also features a catalog of works compiled by curator Susan Davidson which provides the most comprehensive documentation of the artists work ever assembled.
Ten years in the making, Master of the Two Left Feet presents Hirshfields unlikely career as a painter not only as a missing episode in the history of twentieth-century art but as a case study of the ways in which artists go missing from historical knowledge and public memory. By looking closely at Hirshfield and his milieu in 1940s Brooklyn, Meyer demonstrates how much we have yet to learn, and to see, of the visual past.
The book accompanies the exhibition Morris Hirshfield Rediscovered, at the American Folk Art Museum, New York City, September 22, 2022January 27, 2023.
