Society of Six
Author: Nancy Boas
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520919777
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Six plein-air painters in Oakland, California, joined together in 1917 to form an association that lasted nearly fifteen years. The Society of Six—Selden Connor Gile, Maurice Logan, William H. Clapp, August F. Gay, Bernard von Eichman, and Louis Siegriest—created a color-centered modernist idiom that shocked establishment tastes but remains the most advanced painting of its era in Northern California. Nancy Boas's well-informed and sumptuously illustrated chronicle recognizes the importance of these six painters in the history of American Post-Impressionism. The Six found themselves in the position of an avant garde not because they set out to reject conventionality, but because they aspired to create their own indigenous modernism. While the artists were considered outsiders in their time, their work is now recognized as part of the vital and enduring lineage of American art. Depression hardship ended the Six's ascendancy, but their painterliness, use of color, and deep alliance with the land and the light became a beacon for postwar Northern California modern painters such as Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud. Combining biography and critical analysis, Nancy Boas offers a fitting tribute to the lives and exhilarating painting of the Society of Six.

Book Description
An invitational painting exhibit held at the Chico Art Center is showcasing artists from the original Visionary Art Movement born in San Francisco out of the late 60s and early 70s. The featured artists were inspired by the psychedelic era, spiritual awakening, transformative synergy, and a search for a deeper meaning of life.The moon landing and seeing the whole earth from space gave a renewed sense of wonder about where we live, and our vision expanded. Utopia, cosmic consciousness, East meets West philosophies, and fantastic realism were concepts that artists would discover and draw upon. Some artists painted scenes of earthly beauty, a return to Eden, or imaginary landscapes from their psyche and the cosmos. Sacred geometry, world building, the beauty of nature and the human body were important themes. The artists became magicians of color, and alchemists of light, transmuting inner visions into wondrous sanctuaries for the soul.This show comes at a particular time when there is a greater need for hope to sustain us moving forward. The works selected for this exhibit and catalog were chosen to foster hope, renew our spirits, create a meditative space to bring us joy and promote healing.
