Richard Sargent
Lookout Point, Saturday Evening Post Cover

1953

About the Item

Medium: Oil on Canvas Signature: Signed Lower Right Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, July 18, 1953. The Post described, “Gently, gently now, for both sides are right in this slight vacation convulsion. Papa Toury has been steering the bus for three days toward Point Lookout, and, having finally made it, is he not justified in decrying the little one’s disinterest in lookouting? On the other hand, for three days Johnny and Janey Toury have been peering at interminable scenery; so now that the car has quit jiggling and reading is possible, what is more dutiful than rejoicing in the new books that papa bought them to read? If papa, with his field glasses, should happen to spot a drive-in movie in the valley which could be reached by eventide, the children, then monopolizing the glasses, would revel in this lovely view and artist Sargent’s cris would subside. Or when do we eat?” (The Saturday Evening Post, July 18, 1953, p. 3)

    Located in Milano, MI
    After touring Europe on a motorcycle, he arrived in Berlin in 2012, where he won a residence for artists with a pictorial series on massification and nihilism. In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba. The experience of Central America affects his painting so much that it becomes gestural and dominated by strong and bright colors. Contact with indigenous communities contributed to the formation of his thought and poetics, which suggests accessing an irrational dimension that cannot be explored through science and technology.

  • Oltremare 6
    Located in Milano, MI
    I am not afraid to define it as a metaphysical painting, - says Angelo Crespi - and right in the suffix "beyond" (in Greek "meta") also of the title "Oltremare" the intent to climb over the wall of the sensible and the real is revealed. There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human. If Caspar Friedrich...
