Edmund Lewandowski (1914-1998), Charleston Marina, 1988
Est: $20,000 - $30,000
Edmund Lewandowski (1914-1998) Charleston Marina 1988 Watercolor on paper, 17" tall x 25" long Signed and dated lower right: Edmund Lewandowski 1988 Provenance: H. V. Allison Gallery, c. 1995; private collection, Bedford, New York Exhibited: Flint Institute of Arts, Michigan (and traveling), Edmund Lewandowski: Precisionism and Beyond, September 2010-December 2011 (catalogue, 24, no. 45 [illustrated]). Edmund Lewandowski was born in 1914 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and studied at the Layton School of Art from 1931 to 1934. While Lewandowski painted murals for the Federal Art Project during the 1930s and taught at various art institutions throughout his career in the Midwest and South, his art was always his primary focus. Soon after his graduation, in 1936, Lewandowski was asked to join the Downtown Gallery, run by the modern art dealer Edith Halpert. During his tenure with the Downtown Gallery, he became affiliated with the Precisionist school and was strongly influenced by his fellow Precisionist Charles Sheeler. Precisionism was a uniquely American style. The use of watercolors by the artists of this school was Ðantithetical to the traditional conceptions of the mediums purposes inasmuch as the anti-atmospheric, flat, planar surfaces, hard edges, and graphic control that define the style run counter to the notions of vitality, freedom, light, and movement consistently attached to watercolor production.Ó This new approach to an old medium allowed Lewandowski and other artists in the school, like Ralston Crawford, Charles Demuth, and Sheeler, to focus on subjects that were new and to display modern technology, machinery, and industrial subjects. Charleston Marina is an excellent example of Lewandowskis Precisionist style and his affinity for painting marine vessels. Its hard edges and quasi-abstraction transform the recognizable, three-dimensional forms of the boats into two-dimensional bands of color. This reduction of space and the cropped view make the boats appear to be a single, continuous object, and differentiating between their large hulls and decks becomes difficult. Lewandowski painted the scene using flat, geometric blocks of whites, blues, and browns that are only interrupted by small flashes of color, like the red life preserver or the orange cords. Lewandowski exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1938 to 1949, Carnegie Institute from 1940 to 1946, Corcoran Gallery biennials from 1947 to 1957, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1940, 1942, and 1944, Brooklyn Museum from 1939 to 1942, Wisconsin Painters & Sculptors from 1938 to 1942, Museum of Modern Art, New York, in 1943, Milwaukee Art Institute in 1938 and 1940, and at the Whitney Museum of American Art. He was a member of the Wisconsin Painters & Sculptors, Polish-American Artists, Chicago Fine Art Club, California Watercolor Society, and the Wisconsin Federal Artists. His works can be found at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Addison Gallery of American Art, Phillips Academy, Andover, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; University of Wisconsin and Milwaukee Institute of Art, Wisconsin.

V. Allison Galleries, 1990) illus., no. 21 Edmund Lewandowski: Precisionism and Beyond (Flint: Flint Institute of Arts, 2010), pp. 114-115 color illus., no. 43 Attracted to "industrial power technology and efficiency" from the time of his youth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lewandowski was the American artist who sustained the Precisionist style longest. After beginning his career as an American scene painter in the 1930s, he was impacted by the art of Charles Sheeler and adopted the streamlined Precisionist aesthetic to which he was committed until the end of his life. In Cruise Ship, No. II, inspired by a Mediterranean cruise that the artist took, Lewandowski narrowed his focus to the central mast of the ship and its top deck, capturing the way that artistry and new technology were conjoined in the design of a vessel intended for smooth travel along the Italian and Greek coasts. The light-retentive surfaces of the white ship against the translucent blue sky result in an iconic image of this subject. C The Spanierman Gallery, LLC Collection of American Art
