FREDERICK CARL FRIESEKE (1874-1939)

 
Frederick Frieseke is often regarded as the finest American Impressionist painter of the figure. Yet when he came to study at Académie Juilian in 1898, several les Nabis painters remained a lingering presence, and it was the rich, decorative patterns of Edouard Vuillard and Pierre Bonnard that served as the blueprint for his early success. That influence is clearly demonstrated in the unrestrained repetition of the voluminous, pleated, striped umbrellas of Afternoon at the Beach, a canvas mural installed in the opulent Hotel Shelburne dining room overlooking the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The unifying impact of that repetitive element imbues the setting with cloud-like loft within a color scheme, evoking Vuillard and the richness of a Gobelin tapestry, rather than the effect of sunlight and broken color that mark his more familiar paintings from the decade of 1910 to 1920.<br><br>Afternoon at the Beach was installed under the artist’s direction in February 1906. It remained on view for decades at the swanky hotel that enticed “Diamond Jim” James Buchanan Brady to pay one thousand dollars a week for permanent residence and was an unfading memory for throngs of well-heeled socialites, financiers, and notables from Irving Berlin to John Philip Sousa and Ethel Barrymore to Al Jolson. Undoubtedly, its presence high on the grand dining room wall contributed to the artist’s popularity and renown.<br><br>Today, we may look upon this long, frieze-like composition as a delightful fin-de-siécle costume study or an informative expose of Victorian mores as suggested by the separate spheres of gender groupings. But mostly, Afternoon at the Beachrecounts the artist’s unbridled delight and appreciation of women, here, expressed within familial, maternal, and social contexts. It is the subject and theme that brought Frieseke acclaim and awards on both sides of the Atlantic and which, to this day, endears him to the many who count him among the most beloved of American figurative painters.

"Es la luz del sol... la que me ha interesado principalmente. Si pudiera reproducirlo exactamente como lo veo, estaría satisfecho". - Frederick Frieseke

Historia

Frederick Frieseke es considerado a menudo como el mejor pintor impresionista americano de la figura. Sin embargo, cuando vino a estudiar a la Académie Juilian en 1898, varios pintores de Les Nabis seguían siendo una presencia persistente, y fueron los ricos patrones decorativos de Edouard Vuillard y Pierre Bonnard los que le sirvieron de modelo para su temprano éxito. Esa influencia queda claramente demostrada en la repetición desenfrenada de las voluminosas sombrillas plisadas y rayadas de Afternoon at the Beach, un mural de lienzo instalado en el opulento comedor del Hotel Shelburne con vistas al paseo marítimo de Atlantic City. El impacto unificador de ese elemento repetitivo impregna el escenario de un desván nuboso dentro de una combinación de colores, evocando a Vuillard y la riqueza de un tapiz de Gobelinos, en lugar del efecto de la luz del sol y el color roto que marcan sus cuadros más conocidos de la década de 1910 a 1920.

Tarde en la playa se instaló bajo la dirección del artista en febrero de 1906. Permaneció expuesta durante décadas en el ostentoso hotel que atrajo a "Diamond Jim" James Buchanan Brady a pagar mil dólares a la semana por su residencia permanente y fue un recuerdo inmarcesible para multitudes de adinerados miembros de la sociedad, financieros y notables, desde Irving Berlin a John Philip Sousa y Ethel Barrymore a Al Jolson. Sin duda, su presencia en lo alto de la pared del gran comedor contribuyó a la popularidad y el renombre del artista.

Hoy en día, podemos considerar esta larga composición en forma de friso como un encantador estudio de vestuario finisecular o una exposición informativa de las costumbres victorianas, tal y como sugieren las esferas separadas de los grupos de género. Pero, sobre todo, Tarde en la playa da cuentadel desenfrenado deleite y aprecio del artista por las mujeres, expresado aquí en contextos familiares, maternales y sociales. Este es el tema y el asunto que hizo que Frieseke fuera aclamado y premiado a ambos lados del Atlántico y que, hasta el día de hoy, lo hace querido por los muchos que lo consideran uno de los pintores figurativos más queridos de Estados Unidos.
