About the Item
We are pleased to offer Ashelot Spring, 2005, by the second generation
American Abstract Expressionist painter Robert S. Neuman (1926-2015). Neuman's work
bridged a love of pigment, abstraction, landscape and the application of color. He began
his studies in the late 40s with the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists, traveled to Europe
where his work would absorb the lessons of Art Informel and finally New York where he
would meet the New York School painters.
Arriving in San Francisco in 1947, at age 21, Neuman would first be exposed to the work of
Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis, Clyfford Still, David Park and others. These painters
would immediately and irrevocably influence him. He writes of his experience:
"Coming from the State of Idaho to San Francisco and walking into the museum, green as a
cucumber, and seeing Clyfford Still for the first time, and Sam Francis and Richard
Diebenkorn all hanging there, was quite a shock. Here I'd been painting views of Coeur
d'Alene Lake with the mountains!...I thought, 'I wonder what there people are doing.' I
didn't condemn them at all--I thought: 'If they're in a museum there must be something to
it. I don't know what but I'm going to look.'"
In the year 1953, Neuman was awarded a Fulbright Grant for painting. The grant brought
Neuman to Stuttgart, Germany, allowing him his first contact with his contemporaries in
Europe. There he would begin to absorb the tenets of Art Informel and there that he
composed his renowned "Black Paintings."
After his stay in Germany, Neuman traveled to Spain, and there he absorbed something
different entirely. He found the open and seemingly unformalistic attitudes of the West
Coast artists contrasting severely with the deeply felt mysticism present in much of the
contemporary Spanish artists of that time.
Appearing as graphic and chromatic symbols, Neuman's approach to painting creates a
duality between visual and literal associations. The Boston art critic, Robert Taylor
remarked (Boston Globe, March 25, 1979): "Neuman's pictures fuse the methods of color
field paintings, emblematic abstractions and expressionist responses and, at their best as
in this series, are evocative and original."
Neuman's work can be found in the collections of the MOMA, NY; the Hood Art Museum;
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Harvard University Art Museums, among others.
