About the Item

A powerful mid century, circa 1950’s abstract painting by Georgia woman artist Genevieve Arnold (1928 - 2005). The muted and earthy tones are presented in a series of angles, almost cubist in their offering of the subject matter. Perhaps non-objective or perhaps a representation of a known form, the viewer is tasked with identifying the object at the center of the canvas. The work is presented in the original, hand painted strip framing, better known as artist framing. Ms. Arnold clearly affixed and painted the wood frame to compliment her work. In an article by Philip Auslander for ArtForum magazine regarding the MOCA GA show, Mr. Auslander writes “ MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART OF GEORGIA - Genevieve Arnold (1928–2005) was the kind of person for whom terms like doyenne and grande dame were invented. Little known outside the Southeast, she was an important presence on the Atlanta art scene for more than fifty years. A recent retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia reflected her cosmopolitan perspective and her implicit refusal to be labeled a “southern” or “regional” artist. It also chronicled the struggles of a midcentury painter to reconcile the twin poles of modernism: figuration and abstraction. Arnold’s first canvases, from the late ’50s and early ’60s, look to Europe. Although these abstractions rely on gestural brushstrokes and saturated, nearly monochromatic color, Arnold seems not to have engaged directly with Abstract Expressionism. Rather, these works are indirectly reminiscent of Henri Matisse’s subdued early paintings. For Arnold, figuration and abstraction were not mutually exclusive: Her project was to make them coexist as equals within the space of a single work.” The Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia offers this biography and exhibition information on Ms. Arnold, “Genevieve Arnold was born in Covington, Georgia in 1928. She received a B.F.A. from Atlanta College of Art in 1951 after studying at Emory University in 1948 and Georgia State University between 1946-1947. In addition to being a recipient of the Georgia Women in the Visual Arts in 1997, Ms. Arnold was also awarded the Travel Award by the Atlanta Arts Alliance in 1964 and received recognition from the Woodruff Arts Center given graciously by the Gilman Paper Company. With several solo exhibitions, including the Fred Reed Gallery in 1959, Atlanta, GA; the New Arts Gallery in 1962, Atlanta, GA; the Jacksonville Art Museum in 1972, Jacksonville, FL; the Heath Gallery in 1987, 1990 and 1994, Atlanta, GA and the Kiang Gallery in 2001, Atlanta, GA, Genevieve Arnold garnered immense artistic praise. In addition, she owned the Arnold Art Gallery at the Omni Hotel in Atlanta and became Director of the Atlanta College of Art Gallery. As an artist, businesswoman and scholar, Genevieve Arnold’s exhibitions at MOCA GA spanned five years and contributed greatly to her artistic legacy. Artists of the Heath Gallery 1965 to 1998, (2002); Celebration Exhibition of the Permanent Collection (2002); Wayne Kline and the Rolling Stone Press (2004-2005) and Genevieve: A Genevieve Arnold Retrospective (2007) exemplified the artists’ distinct viewpoint.”
