Arthur B. Carles (1882-1952)
Tulips, n.d.
Arthur B. Carles (1882-1952), born in Philadelphia, studied at the Pennsylvania Academy between 1900 and 1907, and would return to teach there between 1917 and 1925. Carles returned regularly to Paris, often staying with Edward Steichen at his house in Voulangis, a small village about thirty miles from the city. In the spirit of Matisse, his work reveals the free handling of paint and brilliant Fauvist color that was the hallmark of his work through the twenties, by which time he was known as “the man who paints with color.” Alfred Stieglitz included his work in a group show at his seminal gallery 291, and gave the artist his first one-man show in 1912. The luminous, floating colors of Tulips (1918), is a fine example of early American modernist still life.
