He also studied at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design. He was one of America's first Social Realist painters, influenced by that Robert Henri-led movement in New York City where Gottlieb settled in 1918. He was also a pioneer in screen printing, which he learned while working for the WPA. He married Eugenie Gershoy, and the couple joined the artist colony at Woodstock, New York.

John Frederick Kensett (1816 - 1872) Portrait of an Italian Fencer, circa 1845-47 Watercolor on wove paper 13 1/8 x 8 1/8 inches Signed with initials and inscribed lower right "J.F.K. Rome" From October 1845 through the spring of 1847, Kensett lived in Rome. He attended classes where he sketched from live models, and he sketched in the countryside outside Rome and around Florence, Perugia, and Venice, places he visited with his artist friends. He fulfilled commissions for paintings from Americans in Italy, and by 1847 his career was well established. Son of an English immigrant engraver, John Kensett lacked enthusiasm for that medium and became one of the most accomplished painters of the second generation of Hudson River School painters. His reputation is for Luminism, careful depiction of light, weather, and atmosphere as they affect color and texture of natural forms. He was particularly influenced by the painting of Asher Durand in that he focused on realism and detail rather than the highly dramatic views associated with Thomas Cole. Going to the western United States in the mid 1850s and the 1860s, he was the first of the Hudson River School painters to explore and paint the West. Kensett was born and raised in Cheshire, Connecticut, and learned his engraving from his father, Thomas Kensett with whom he worked in New Haven, Connecticut until 1829. He continued working until 1840 as an engraver of labels, banknotes and maps and was employed part of that time by the American Bank Note Company in New York City. There he met Thomas Rossiter, John Casilear, and other artists who urged him to pursue painting. In 1840, he and Rossiter, Asher Durand, and Casilear went to Europe where Kensett stayed for seven years and supported himself by doing engraving but became accomplished in landscape painting. Having sent canvases of Italian landscapes back to New York, he had a reputation for skillful painting that preceded him. When he returned to New York City in 1847, he was an "instant success" and very sought after by collectors. Two of his Italian landscapes had already been purchased by the American Art Union. By 1849, he was a full member of the National Academy of Design and was generally popular among his peers. His studio was a gathering place with travelers stopping by to see his canvases and to identify "precise locations in the Catskills or Newport or New England in the oil sketches and drawings that covered his walls." (Zellman 170). For the women, he was a popular bachelor, "romantic looking with high forehead and sensitive expression." (Samuels 262) He was also sought after by many organizations. Among his activities were serving on the committee to oversee the decoration of the United States Capitol in Washington DC, and becoming one of the founders of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. An inveterate traveler, Kensett spent summers on painting excursions away from New York City. One of these trips was a special painting excursion with fifteen other artists sponsored by the B & O Railroad from Baltimore, Maryland to Wheeling, West Virginia. Unlike many of the Hudson River painters...

Dicono di Angini Tra spiritualità e colore La scomposizione delle sue opere è frutto di quella della sua anima, sempre alla ricerca di qualcosa che vada oltre. Nei suoi occhi, come nelle sue tele, c’è una malinconia “viva” che ci attraversa e ci emoziona, trasportandoci in un mondo fantastico e complesso; come lui. Tutta la sua vita è stata una sperimentazione artistica volta alla conoscenza di sé, degli altri e del mondo che lo circonda. Nei suoi colori predomina il giallo della luce divina e della speranza. Una consapevolezza del sé ottenuta mediante la sperimentazione artistica come strumento di conoscenza, come atto di autoriflessione, attraverso l’indagine del proprio vissuto, in costante tensione con l’esterno, quasi volesse far emergere quel tripudio di emozioni che tiene nelle stanze della sua anima. Olimpia Bruni Intervista con Dalì Da un’idea di Josè Van Roy Dalì, “In mostra con Dalì”. Un progetto d’arte che si concretizza in una mostra itinerante, in omaggio al padre Salvador Dalì. Lo scorso anno partiva, come una caccia al tesoro, presso la Galleria Tondinelli, nel favoloso scenario del Complesso Monumentale di San Carlino delle Quattro Fontane, a Roma, la prima edizione della mostra itinerante con la partecipazione degli artisti: Vittorio Angini, Graziano Peretti, Fausto Ciotti, Ileana Della Matera, Loredana Bendini, Ada Cardilli, Patrizio Veronese e Mario Spigariol. Tra gli artisti in mostra di particolare rilievo – non togliendo prestigio agli altri partecipanti – le sorprendenti opere del pittore aretino Vittorio Angini. Invitato nel 2007 su segnalazione di Josè Van Roy Dalì, figlio d’arte del famoso pittore catalano, a partecipare alla “Quadriennale d’Arte Contemporanea”, tenutasi a Roma presso il “Vittoriano”, Angini collabora attualmente all’importante progetto d’arte “In mostra con Dalì”. I suoi quadri si trovano in collezioni private negli USA, Canada, Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Sud Africa, Inghilterra, Irlanda. La sua pittura, risplendente di luce diffusa, penetra nella nostra capacità e sensibilità di stimolare ricordi ancestrali, che pensiamo sepolti nei meandri della nostra memoria. In molte delle sue opere par di cogliere una sorta di metempsicosi del colore, che nelle sue ricercate tinte pare trasferirsi, espandersi, in ogni angolo della tela, fluttuando oltre le rigide forme del contorno, e dove la sacralità della luce rischiara quelle impalpabili zone della nostra anima in cui risiedono i sentimenti e le emozioni più profonde. I riverberi della luce scaturita dal colore allargano l’immagine, che pare perdersi, oltrepassare i confini della percezione visiva, quasi ad illustrare, ad indicare la strada di un mondo che necessariamente dimora e vive oltre il quadro, espandendosi in orizzonti più ampi. Le forme, i paesaggi, i giochi di colore, i ritratti, appaiono come effigi della nostra esistenza, che coesistono nell’intercalare del ticchettio del tempo che scorre. Addentrarsi nelle parole di Josè Van Roy Dalì è sempre oltremodo affascinante e l’incontro avvenuto presso la sua casa museo mi ha fornito l’occasione per approfondimenti sul pittore Vittorio Angini e su “In Mostra con Dalì”. D. I quadri di Angini, che ha voluto appartenessero sin dagli esordi al suo “viaggio” itinerante, svelano le verità nascoste dei nostri desideri e della nostra immaginazione. Trovano affinità con le Sue opere d’arte ed il Suo percorso pittorico? R. Prima di tutto trovano affinità con il mio gusto e con il mio senso estetico del bello. Inoltre, scavando nel “labirinto” artistico di Angini, tra i lavori del passato e nei vari percorsi, ho trovato molteplici mondi paralleli multicromatici, che mi hanno fatto apprezzare ulteriormente il lavoro di questo artista. D. Ho avuto modo di ammirare tra le molte opere esposte nella sua galleria privata, appunto in Via Salvador Dalì, quelle di Vittorio Angini. So che sono state largamente apprezzate nel mondo della cultura e dell’arte. Un suo parere strettamente personale su tali opere? R. Il modo immediato di trasmettere, attraverso i colori, indefinibili emozioni, con la medesima semplicità di un grande romanziere. D. Maestro, in questa interessante esposizione “In mostra con Dalì”, ciascun artista presenterà, accanto alle sue, tre opere. So che ha fatto la ricerca dei pittori presenti in mostra con molto impegno e serietà, con quale criterio li ha selezionati? R. Ho saputo “ascoltare” le vibrazioni del colore e individuare, attraverso le varie tematiche, la peculiare sensibilità di ogni singolo artista. E poi, per dirla tutta, mi sono affidato al mio gusto personale, immaginando quali fossero le opere che avrei gradito collocare nella mia residenza… e quali tra queste, avrebbe apprezzato anche mio padre. D. Com’è sbocciata e che traguardi vuol raggiungere questa mostra? È puramente un omaggio a suo padre Salvador o è un omaggio ad entrambi i Dalì o...
