‎Stevenson, Harold (1929-2018)‎

‎Harold Stevenson: "The Pagan World". Drawings Mixed Media On Paper Inscribed By Artist Harold Stevenson‎

‎New York: Iolas Jackson Gallery 1984. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Near Fine. 14 Color Plates Printed On One Side Only Plus List Of Entire Exhibit And List Of Stevenson's Exhibitions Through 1984. Near Fine Rubbing Along Front Spine Edge. Inscribed "11 November 1984 For My Darling Alberto Saluting His Taste And Refinement. All My Love Harold." Per Wikipedia "Stevenson Played A Role In An Astounding Number Of The Key Moments In Postwar Vanguard Culture But He Is Without Question Best Known For The New Adam 1962 An Audacious Painting Of A Nude Young Man Measuring 8 Feet Tall And Nearly 40 Feet Long That Was Meant To Stretch Across Three Walls. The Critic And Curator Lawrence Alloway Had Seen A Preparatory Work For The New Adam And He Planned To Put The Final Product In His 1963 Exhibition "Six Painters And The Object" At Guggenheim Alongside Works By Fast-Rising Pop Artists Like Roy Lichtenstein Jim Dine And Warhol But He Balked When He Was Presented With Photographs Of The Painting. Writing To Stevenson'S Paris Dealer Iris Clert Alloway Said That He Had Chosen Not To Show The Sprawling Painting "So As Not To Cause An Imbalance In The Exhibition" Explaining That "The Whole Weight Of Public Attention Would Be Drawn Towards The New Adam." Emphasizing That His Decision Should Not Be Taken As An Insult He Said "I Suppose It Is A Tribute To The Painting That I Feel I Cannot Show It." A Robert Rauschenberg Work Took The Place Of The New Adam. Stevenson Later Said That Alloway "Went Into Shock" When He Saw The Nude For Which The Actor Sal Mineo Of Rebel Without A Cause Fame Had Served As A Model. "I Had Never Heard Of Him But He Was Very Good Looking And Beautifully Proportioned" The Artist Said Of Mineo. The New York Dealer Mitchell Algus Recalled Stevenson Saying That The Figure'S Head Which Is Partially Covered By His Arm Belongs To The Artist'S Then-Partner Timothy Willoughby A Member Of The Astor Family Who Was Lost At Sea In 1963. When Algus Went Looking For The New Adam Around 1990 He Found The Painting Rolled Up In The Basement Of A Long Island City Townhouse Where Stevenson Lived With His Longtime Partner Lloyd Tugwell Who Died In 2005. Algus Inaugurated His Gallery With A Display Of The New Adam And Went On To Do Five More Solo Shows Of Stevenson'S Paintings-Predominantly Intense Close-Ups Of The Male Body Often In Soft Tones That Exuded An Intimate But Fantastical Eroticism. He Noted That When Stevenson Was Showing His Work In The 1960S And '70S With Dealers Like Clert And Richard L. Feigen Reviews Of His Shows Were Frequently Negative And Marked By Homophobia. "This Art Is The Expression Of A Pervading Painful And Limp Ennui But So Skillful That It Is Not Quite A Cliché" One Artnews Item From 1963 Reads. But Times And Opinion Changed. In 2005 The Guggenheim Museum Acquired The New Adam Under The Aegis Of Curator Robert Rosenblum Who Told The New York Times "It'S A Seminal Work. It Marks A Crucial Development Not Only In The Exposure Of The Full-Frontal Male Nude But Also In The Billboard-Scale Wraparound Installation Like Rosenquist'S F-111 In The Museum Of Modern Art'S Collection." <br/> <br/> Iolas Jackson Gallery paperback‎
