The Five Greatest Creations

Posted on December 13, 2017 by Howard Bosler • Leave a comment

In spite of the grand title of this article and the very arguable point of any work of art objectively placed in value above others, the exercise of the examination of the works most personally influential provokes such an examination in others. The following list is totally biased and as subjective as I can possibly … Continue reading →

Sargent’s The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit

Posted on October 30, 2016 by Howard Bosler • 5 Comments

I start fresh. I look at this picture as if the first time in seeing. Although difficult to do so, the Daughters of Edward Darley Boit has been pondered and subjected to voracious scrutiny and detailed psychoanalysis. Not infrequently this picture has been proclaimed the greatest produced by an American and, upon examination, hardly presents many … Continue reading →

John S. Sargent by Henry James

***In reading up on Sargent and, in particular, his Daughters of Edward Darley Boit for a new article for this website, I came across this writing by Henry James, originally published in Harper’s Magazine in October of 1887.

The Beautiful View of Maxfield Parrish

Posted on June 6, 2016 by Howard Bosler • 1 Comment

[1]Normally one does not think of Maxfield Parrish as a mid-century artist. He was born in 1870 and died in 1966. However, during the decades of the 60s and 70s, his resurgence was remarkable. His pictures, with their breathtaking views and their mythical characters, had a strong influence on those looking for the idyllic. Because … Continue reading →

The Velazquez Prize: Nearly Ready

Posted on March 31, 2016 by Howard Bosler • 1 Comment

If you have seen the previous installments of this series, you will know that it is a practice of mine, as part of learning about an artist, to paint a work in the manner of the artist studied. Sometimes it is an exact copy of a work, such as my reproduction of Judith and Her … Continue reading →

The Velazquez Prize Continued

Posted on December 2, 2015 by Howard Bosler • 2 Comments

To start this second part of the Velazquez Prize, a myth must be dispelled. Reference to Velazquez should not come as part of an examination of Impressionism. Artists, today, wrongly think they are Impressionists simply because they use a painterly or rough approach to brushstrokes on a canvas. The use of broad brushstrokes does not … Continue reading →

Notes to the Ether: On Painting

Posted on August 5, 2015 by Howard Bosler • Leave a comment

Take two pills and call me in the morning. Instructions from a doctor or pharmacist or the musings of an artist? No prescription exists that can sweeten the labor of painting. Indeed, it is work, regardless of the satisfaction derived from the process and the final outcome. Painting has steps. Those steps, when deliberate and … Continue reading →

Modern Floor Systems

Although not meant to detail every modernist floor system, this article will examine a few that I have personal experience with. One of the most admirable features of modernist interiors, in my opinion, is the flooring pervasive during the period of the mid-century.     Although one would suppose by many of the current ideas…Continue reading Modern Floor Systems
