Abstract 25

초록보기

American artist Charles Demuth is well known as a member of the Precisionists and also

as a water colorist. Particularly, he produced portraits from 1923 to 1929 showing figures

of 10 American artists, writers and actors: Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Charles

Duncan, Arthur Dove, John Marin, William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Wallace

Stevens, Eugene O’Neil and Bert Savoy whom are selected by Demuth.

This series named “Poster portraits” are not consists of actual man’s figure, but various

still life and texts which bring up the image of modern advertisement poster. He selected

objects, texts and its arrangement deeply involved with the sitter’s characteristic, life, work,

and their thoughts. In 1920s, American artists began to create “American” modern art

based on their modern experience. In other words, the American modern art world of the

1920s was in strong demand for American artists who created art that could be identified as

being solely “American”. And at the time, American art world was under the leadership of

Alfred Stieglitz. So on the other hand, Demuth began his series of poster portraits also in

order to receive the recognition of Alfred Stieglitz as a true American artist. And Demuth’s

poster portraits are showing himself in indirectly and symbolic way. Consequently his

poster portraits feature not only about each sitter but also personal relationships between

sitter and Demuth. As making poster portrait series, there seems a certain purpose to

strength self-identity becoming a member of Stieglitz circle.

After the outbreak of the First World War I in 1914, the United States arose as the new

center of the modern art world instead of Europe. Although it was 1940s that America

became the heart of modern art through Abstract Expressionism, 1920s were the period

which they were most concerned about their national identity. And we can strongly feel

their concerns considering the letters exchanged among Demuth and Stieglitz and the

other models of his poster portraits. So to speak, the motivation behind Demuth’s poster

portraits series involved the over all mood of the American society, the state of the

American modern art and the distinctiveness of the American visual culture during the

early 20th century.

Demuth’s poster portraits attempted to establish an identity of America and American

art separate from that of Europe’s. Although European artists Francis Picabia and Marious

de Zaya made symbolic machine portraits ahead of Demuth, there are certain differences

between European Dadaists and Demuth in using text and selecting images. Also his

interests in the visual culture of the 1920s such as billboards and advertisements has been

credited as being the source of inspiration that started his poster portraits series. So to

speak, his poster portraits are advertising American Modern art world based on modern

America consume society. In conclusion, Demuth’s poster portraits seems to symbolize

each sitter with still life and texts, sitters's name or not, identical form of advertisement, but

it also feature relationship with sitter and Demuth himself and finally it could be considered

as group portraits under the name of “Americanism”.
