About the Item

Girl in a Swivel Chair Graphite on paper, 1960 Signed by the artist in pencil lower left (see photo) Titled in pencil upper left Dated by the artist lower right center: "LX" (1960) An important exhibition work by the artist Exhibited: “156th Annual Exhibition, American Water Colors, Prints and Drawings” The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Philadelphia Water Color Club Jan. 22 to Feb. 26, 1961 (see label) The Gallery of Modern Art, New York Huntington Hartford Museum, 1967 (see label) “Phillip Evergood Retrospective” Catalog No. 110 Lent by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Freidus (see label) Condition: Very good, freshened up by Alan Firkser Provenance: Long Island Estate Mr. and Mrs. Jack Freidus Philip Evergood was born Philip Blashki in New York City on October 26, 1901. His father, an artist named Meyer Blashki, was an Australian Jew of Polish descent who had immigrated to the United States, but his mother was a member of a well-to-do Anglican family determined to have her son educated in her native England. When Philip failed to get past the Committee of Admirals for entrance into the Royal Naval Training College, his father fired off an angry letter to the First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, demanding to know whether the boy's last name had influenced the admirals. Convinced that it had, Meyer Blashki renamed himself and his son Evergood and the boy duly did time at both Eton and Cambridge. But Cambridge and Philip did not long agree, for he finally made up his mind that all he wanted to do was paint. He studied art at the Slade School in London with Henry Tonks and Havard Thomas, Julian Academie in Paris, and the Art Students' League of New York. He was especially influenced by the Spanish artist El Greco. He met his wife Julia in Paris and they eventually settled in Manhattan. On canvas, Evergood's figures were apt to be as chunky as himself, his colors applied in solid, intrically designed blocks. But the mood could be as soft as a glow. Occasionally Evergood would vent his rage against the world in brilliant clashing clutters of symbolic figures. But there remains an almost childlike sweetness that he was never able to outgrow. During the 1930s he was a muralist for the Works Progress Administration and was President of the New York Artists Union. His mural work includes "The Story of Richmond Hill" for the library in that part of New York City, and another work, "Cotton from Field to Mill" for the Post Office in Jackson, Georgia. He also focused on many Biblical themes with a distorted style reflective of both Cezanne and El Greco in that his figures seemed to be in fanciful worlds or "imagined space" (Baigell). By 1935, he did American Scene painting with politically and social-message works whose themes were the unhappiness of people caught in the Depression. In the 1940s, he distanced himself from political and social issues to figures that were more fanciful and free seeming. He taught at various institutions in the 1940s and in 1952 moved to Southbury, Connecticut and two years later to Bridgeport where he lived until his death in 1973.

He went to Paris and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts from 1861 to 1863 with Charles Gleyre (1808-1874) and Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889), and attended the Accademia di San Lucca, then in Venice, in 1863. Knight returned to Philadelphia that year, married, and served in the Union Army during the Civil War. He went back to France in 1871 and lived there for the remainder of his long and successful career. He settled in Seine-et-Oise near Poissy to study with the noted academic painter Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier (1815-1891) in 1873, and the two artists became close friends.
