About the Item

Color lithograph with color paper collage, 1987. Pencil signed lower right and dated, and numbered lower left 5/24. Litho depicts a poem titled "Ariadne" by T. Weiss. Published by Pondside Press, New York. Pondside Press is collaborative workshop for artists desiring to produce hand printed lithographs, monotype and works of art on paper. Tamarind Master Printer Melissa Katzman Braggins and Printer, Ted Braggins operate the studio in the Hudson River valley region of New York. Founded in 1985, the printers have produced original graphic art for over 30 years. Matt Phillips (1927–2017) was a painter, printmaker, poet and art educator. He was born in New York and studied literature at the University of Chicago where he earned his master’s degree. He first studied art at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, and traveled throughout Europe studying painting. He taught art in Paris from 1962 to 1964. When he returned to the United States, he taught at Bard College in upstate New York for 27 years. After retiring from Bard in 1987, he devoted his time to exhibitions, travel and guest lectures. Matt Phillips passed away in Oakland, Ca in March, 2017. Phillips is widely recognized as a master of the monotype and monotype/collage. Phillips’ reputation as an important 20th century artist is based on his revival of the monotype technique in America, previously explored by 19th century artists Degas, Gauguin, and Maurice Prendergast. Phillips merges figural and abstract traditions in his works. Matt Phillips has had over 60 solo exhibitions. His work was shown in: "Singular Impressions: The Monotype in America" - The National Museum of American Art Washington, DC; "The Painterly Print" - Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; "The New American Monotypes" - Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; "The Monotype, An Edition of One: Milton Avery, Maurice Prendergast, Abraham Walkowitz, Matt Phillips" - Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indianapolis, IN; and others. Phillips has received grants and awards by Pollock-Krasner Foundation; Bard College; National Endowment for the Arts; and John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. “I think of my monotypes as colored poems, enclosed in mystery. Henri Matisse once wrote that black is a color. White is too, and all the off whites, their tones and intervals and shapes and spaces, made possible by paper and printing, fascinate me. Ultimately monotype is just another method which allows us to get our work done. It is one form of discreet communication." Matt Phillips, Monotypes, 1961-1975.

Contemporary Pattern and Decoration piece, The original movement was championed by the gallery owner Holly Solomon. The P&D movement wanted to revive an interest in minor forms such as patterning which at that point was equated with triviality. The prevailing negative view of decoration was one not generally shared by non-Western cultures, The Pattern and Decoration movement was influenced by sources outside of what was considered to be fine art. Blurring the line between art and design, many P&D works mimic patterns like those on wallpapers, printed fabrics, and quilts. There is a close connection between the Pattern and Decoration movement and the Feminist art movement. The P&D movement arose in opposition to the Minimalist and Conceptualist movements. Mary Grigoriadis, Valerie Jaudon, Joyce Kozloff, Miriam Schapiro, Robert Zakanitch were early proponents of this style. The artist lives and works in New York City.
