Jean-François Raffaëlli's The Absinthe Drinkers now at San Francisco's Legion of Honor | |||
Jean-François Raffaëlli's The Absinthe Drinkers Legion of Honor, San Francisco |
At the entrance to the de Young's recent "Birth of Impressionism," exhibition, visitors were given a preview of the Legion of Honor's newest acquisition, Jean François Raffaëlli's "The Absinthe Drinkers." In 1881, Edgar Degas wanted to increase the number of figural painters at the sixth Impressionist Group Show, and invited Raffaëlli to exhibit his painting, The Absinthe Drinkers. So even then, this painting was exhibited with the impressionists. Now this new San Francisco treasure resides in the Legion of Honor's Gallery 19. |

L’Absinthe by Edgar Degas Musée d'Orsay, Paris |
But why such a fascination with absinthe, especially among so many of the late 19th century French painters? By the 1860's, the French version of "Happy Hour" was called "The Green Hour." Absinthe was embraced by all social classes, from the bourgeoisie down to the poor artists and the working class. By the 1880's absinthe had become core to the French life style and grew steadily in popularity. In 1910, France was consuming 36 million liters of absinthe a year. |

Some attribute Van Gogh's use of pale green in his palette to his excessive use of absinthe. In time, those using absinthe received a backlash from a wide chorus of those resenting such behavior. Movements to ban the drink rose up in Europe and America, and for nearly a century, the ban has held firm. |
|||
Vincent Van Goph, The Drinkers Art Institute of Chicago |
|||
In the January 20th, 1901 edition of the San Francisco Call, absinthe is called the "Green Terror," something to be feared and banned in order to protect the younger generation. Here's some of what the SF Call had to say almost 110 years ago. |
|||
"Is San Francisco in the grip of the Green Terror? Society is all agog over the recent discovery that a coterie of girls in the fashionable uptown boarding school have been caught tippling absinthe. The absinthe habit has existed for some time in certain stratas of society, but this is the first intimation that the insidious green terror is demoralizing the young. To say that society is shocked is putting it mildly. |
The Absinthe Drinker by Viktor Oliva Café Slavia, Prague |
||
“just for fun" at a midnight feast. It exhilarated them and polished their wits. The next lark was not complete without absinthe. Then they found that it stimulated their faculties before an “ex” and then covertly partook of it. In a short time the green terror had them secure in its fangs. Now one of the girls, whose nervous system has become completely shattered, is in a sanitarium fighting to escape from the destroying grip of the green terror. Two of the other girls are home threatened with nervous prostration, for their racked nerves are at the mercy of the terrible dreams pictured by their lively and overwrought imaginations. ... ... France has just entered upon a national crusade against the green terror. No other country on earth is such a victim to this insidious monster. Imagine a nation the size of France that annually |

Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec Monsieur Boleau in a Cafe The Cleveland Museum of Art |
consumes 10,060,000 quarts of absinthe. A man does not have to be an Emile Zola with a mind to picture the horrors of absinthe drinking as set forth in “L’Assocmoir” to know that a dreadful situation this sums up. It amounts to one quart of absinthe to each three inhabitants, including men, women and children. The reports of the Minister of Finance show that there is an absinthe seller to every three buildings in Paris. That means more absinthe shops than there are whisky mills on our notorious Barbary coast. ... " The article goes on and on, but you get the thrust of it. In a similar tone, the irrational abhorrence of the perceived evil of absinthe persisted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, espoused by the inspired ranks of temperance crusaders on both sides of the Atlantic. In time, they got their way, and the Green Fairy was legally eradicated. But recently, the Green Fairy has been resurrected. She now is legally available, and many are making its acquaintance. But now, after the drugs, free love and rock and roll of the 1960's and beyond, the magic appeal of the Green Fairy seems to have waned, and no one seems to claim it as "the green muse" any longer. |

|
But for those of us who enjoy the artistry of the Bohemian artists, the lively cafe life of 19th century Paris, the inspirations of the Impressionist and Post Impressionist era, the style of absinthe drinking writers such as Edgar Allen Poe or Ernest Hemingway, the era of The Absinthe Drinker is one which deserves to be cherished and celebrated. The times may have changed, but their art endures. You may well want to make plans to visit to this new San Francisco treasure, The Absinthe Drinkers now in Gallery 19 at the Legion of Honor. |

The story of James Cagney & his artist friend, John W. Hilton |
||
James Cagney loved all kinds of art and all kinds of artists, writers, actors, dancers, painters, or the thousands of artists throughout his career who plied their talents behind his star on the screen. Cagney loved and appreciated them all. |
||
to the left: |
Excerpt of the 1974 AFI (American Film Institute) Life Time Achievement Award to James Cagney (9 min) |
|
After his career in film, the retired James Cagney had time to dedicate to his passion for painting. In his autobiography, he says he may have been happier (even though he would have been poorer) if he had been a painter rather than a movie star. He studied with Sergei Bongart in Santa Monica, and enjoyed the friendship and comradery of painting with artist John W. Hilton while visiting his vacation home in Twentynine Palms. |
||
John W. Hilton painting while James Cagney sketches |
To listen to John W. Hilton's daughter, artist Kathi Hilton, tell it, there isn't too much to tell. Kathy attended high school with Casey Cagney, James Cagney's daughter. Kathi was invited to a school related party held on Cagney's yacht docked in Newport Harbor, and somewhere along the line, Kathi's artist father, John W. Hilton became fast friends with James Cagney. Cagney owned a second home in Twentynine Palms and regularly visited his Twentynine Palms neighbor John Hilton, often spending hours just visiting, swimming, painting and sketching. Perhaps what drew Cagney to Hilton in part was that Hilton did not treat him as a celebrity, but as a friend. Throughout his life, Hilton loved chumming around with artists, and he enjoyed numerous associations with artists and accomplished people in other fields. From her youth, Kathi Hilton recalls a flood of fascinating stories of her father's friends frequently visiting her house, many who enjoying her mother's enchiladas, and painting with her dad. Kathi's favorite visitors were artists Maynard Dixon and Jimmy Swinnerton, whom she credits as her earliest inspirations to become a painter. And there were other visiting friends such as Howard Hughes who would fly his airplane out from Los Angeles and land on the highway in front of Hilton's Gem Shop and Gallery, bringing lobster for dinner. In 1941, Hilton hosted General George Patton in his home, and in the 1950's, President Eisenhower would visit Hilton and paint with him. |
|

James Cagney pursued his painting for the joy of it. During one of his visits at the Hilton home, Kathi shared her concern with him that her paintings were too much like her father's. Cagney responded to Kathi enthusiastically saying, "Katy my dear, don't you worry about it. Just paint what's in your heart." Cagney never sold his work except on one occasion, selling a painting to Johnny Carson for a charity event. He always considered himself an amateur, but painting allowed him an avenue and opportunity to live artistically, a philosophy we all can ascribe to. |

In Memoriam ... Artist Varnette Honeywood 1950 - 2010 |
Caregiver |
|
As an artist, she created from her heart what she knew best, her African American heritage, filled with love, hope, and life. Just as the images of other American regionalists such as Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton spoke to the idyllic interpretations and hard working ideals of their times, Varnette's striking images speak to the deeply rooted faith of her culture, a people filled with the joys of community and confidence for the future. Varnette's big break came when her paintings were chosen to help decorate the set of The Cosby Show. Bill Cosby once said of Varnette's paintings as fitting the walls of the |
||
home of the fictional Huxtable family "like a slice of pie on a plate." In a recent article with the LA Times, Bill Cosby went on to describe Varnette's work saying, "She truly captured the feel of family love. Her work had depth and storytelling. She just knocked it out of the ballpark every time." |
||
She was born in Los Angeles in December of 1950. As a teen, she studied art at the famed Chouinard Art Institute and attended college in Atlanta at Spelman College where she majored in Art. She later earned a Masters Degree in Education from USC in Los Angeles. Her work was influenced by her life experience. Her childhood visits with family in the deep South, her experiences at Spelman College in Atlanta, and an eye opening visit to Nigeria all were inspirations for later works. |
Gettin' Down |
Generation of Creative Genius |
St. Saphire |
The basic thrust of Varnette's work speaks to the vibrancy and vitality of African American culture, overcoming the racial oppression it had endured. Her striking colors against the contrasting backdrop of historical oppression is striking and memorable. After graduation from Spelman College, she returned to LA where she worked in a Joint Educational Project teaching art to minority students. This included a challenging aspect, as she taught art at the central LA Juvenile Hall, an experience she said was highly difficult. But these experiences only gave backbone to her desire to create positive images for black children. |
Jesus Loves Me |
Varnette was thrilled to have visited Nigeria in 1977. She later reflected on how her African travels influenced her work, giving her an emotional linkage to her own ancestors, and reinforcing her belief that African Americans must look to Africa as a source of their independent identity, pride, and creativity. Varnette leaves behind a body of artistic work which speaks to the ages. She used art as a way to not only picture a culture, but to inspire it, drenched in a tasteful vibrancy of a rainbow of color, she manages to weave themes of confidence, family, faith, love, and aspiring hope. Varnette died in Los Angeles on September of 2010 of cancer at the young age of 59. She leaves for all of us the legacy of her spirit and her art. |

The Walt Disney Family Museum The 1st Anniversary of the Walt Disney Family Museum occurs this weekend, Oct 1 - 3. This world class museum fits well in its prime historical setting of San Francisco's Presidio and tells the tale of how the art of animated film was born, nurtured and advanced by the talented artists and visionaries assembled by Walt Disney. |
||
In our September Newsletter, we reported on the Pixar 25th Anniversary exhibition at the Oakland Museum, a celebration of Pixar's contributions to the art of computerized animation. Pixar has gone to great lengths to explain that 75% of the work done on any animation feature is completed before they even touch a computer, and that they employ many of the same steps, methods and techniques used by the animation pioneers at Disney. |
||
So grab your hat, and visit The Walt Disney Family Museum this weekend. Richard Benefield, founding executive director of the Museum says “It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we opened our doors in the Presidio. Our efforts to present the life and achievements of Walt Disney in an interactive and imaginative way are ongoing and we’re pleased to see families, teens, and seniors all enjoying different elements of the Museum.” Weekend highlights include: Live Music throughout the weekend. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, bring a picnic lunch for the front lawn and they’ll serenade you with ragtime jazz. |

Gray Whales They're still here. Visitors are flocking to Bodega Head to view our group of juvenile gray whales who have chosen to spend the summer with us. Our ocean is filled with krill and the whales chose to stay rather than head to their historic feeding grounds in Alaska. Come this winter, they will join the migration south to Mexico, and we won't see them until the migration north next Spring. So plan a trip to the coast soon, and enjoy our local giants of the sea. |
