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.

"C'est le soleil... qui m'a principalement intéressé. Si je pouvais le reproduire exactement comme je le vois, je serais satisfait." - Frederick Frieseke

Histoire

Frederick Frieseke est souvent considéré comme le meilleur peintre impressionniste américain de la figure. Pourtant, lorsqu'il est venu étudier à l'Académie Juilian en 1898, plusieurs peintres des Nabis étaient encore présents, et ce sont les riches motifs décoratifs d'Edouard Vuillard et de Pierre Bonnard qui ont servi de modèle à ses premiers succès. Cette influence est clairement démontrée par la répétition effrénée des parapluies volumineux, plissés et rayés de Afternoon at the Beach, une toile murale installée dans l'opulente salle à manger de l'hôtel Shelburne, qui donne sur la promenade d'Atlantic City. L'impact unificateur de cet élément répétitif imprègne le décor d'un voile nuageux au sein d'une palette de couleurs, évoquant Vuillard et la richesse d'une tapisserie de Gobelin, plutôt que l'effet de la lumière du soleil et de la couleur brisée qui caractérisent ses peintures plus familières de la décennie 1910 à 1920.

Afternoon at the Beach a été installée sous la direction de l'artiste en février 1906. Elle est restée exposée pendant des décennies dans l'hôtel chic qui avait incité "Diamond Jim" James Buchanan Brady à payer mille dollars par semaine pour y résider en permanence et qui était un souvenir impérissable pour une foule de mondains, de financiers et de notables bien nantis, d'Irving Berlin à John Philip Sousa et d'Ethel Barrymore à Al Jolson. Sans aucun doute, sa présence sur le mur de la grande salle à manger a contribué à la popularité et à la renommée de l'artiste.

Aujourd'hui, nous pouvons considérer cette longue composition en forme de frise comme une délicieuse étude de costumes fin de siècle ou un exposé instructif des mœurs victoriennes, comme le suggèrent les sphères séparées des groupes de sexe. Mais surtout, Afternoon at the Beach témoignedu plaisir débridé de l'artiste et de son appréciation des femmes, ici exprimées dans des contextes familiaux, maternels et sociaux. C'est le sujet et le thème qui ont valu à Frieseke d'être acclamé et récompensé des deux côtés de l'Atlantique et qui, aujourd'hui encore, l'attache à ceux qui le comptent parmi les peintres figuratifs américains les plus appréciés.
