SCULPTUREGertrude Vanderbilt Whitney
NORTON MUSEUM OF ART

( continued from page 1C )

This is not an entirely new effort for Roberts, who was the curatorial voice behind “O’Keeffe, Stettheimer, Torr,
Zorach: Women Modernists in New York,” covered by this publication in 2016. That exhibition gave unprecedented,
individualized visibility to three of the four included artists (O’Keeffe being the obvious exception) who have been
historically underrecognized and, in the case of Torr and Zorach, had gone without a major museum retrospective.
The special concerns of women artists, Roberts says, has been of interest to her since she was on staff at the Muse-
um of Fine Arts in Boston, where she worked on Erica Hirshler’s groundbreaking exhibition “A Studio of Her Own”
(2001). “Many of them were dealing with the same issues that women ... deal with today,” she says. “It’s still a very
compelling topic, and I think it’s very relevant still for today.”
But assessing the artistic career of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney offers unique challenges. Most other women
artists of her time — and male artists, too, it should be acknowledged — worked within the boundaries of a Mod-
ernist art movement that was dominated by painting and aesthetically circumscribed by men. Men were the
teachers, the gallerists, the promoters and the driving force behind the inexorable move toward abstraction that
defined much of Twentieth Century art. Whitney, by contrast, a scion of two of the wealthiest families in America,
had the financial freedom and wherewithal to do more or less what she liked: choosing her own private teachers,
building her own customized studios (there was more than one) and pursuing the subject matter and aesthetic
ideals that intuitively appealed to her.
“One of the reasons that she remains less well known today is that she did work in a variety of styles,” Rob-
“Daphne,” 1933. Bronze. Private collection. erts says, adding that because her work “remained grounded in the visible world,” it “does not play much of a
—Jacek Gancarz photo role” in the schoolbook art-historical narrative of the Twentieth Century, where the rise of pure abstraction in
the postwar period is presented as a culmination of artistic achievement. Robert’s mission, in part, is to dis-

Congress. Whitney’s wealth, coupled with her gender, also brushes up against her
identity as a professional sculptor, then and now. “Her wealth gave her a lot
more leeway than many of her contemporaries had, but it was still challeng-
ing,” says Roberts. “It was typical for a wealthy woman to kind of dabble in
the arts, and it was very difficult for her to get people to take her seriously.”
She was able to invest significantly in her art — the lessons, the studios, the
travel, the studio assistants, the nannies — and yet her very ability to com-
mit herself in this way separated her to a great extent from the community
of Modernist artists who had all struggled through art school together and
then shared studios, materials, babysitters and cold-water flats as they
competed for gallery representation and spots in juried shows. Whitney’s
distance from that scene — both socioeconomically and aesthetically — is
part of why she is not primarily recognized as an artist today.
Another reason, and probably the most important one, is that Whitney
would eventually gain art-world fame for an entirely different set of
achievements: her patronage as a gallerist and a collector of her contempo-
raries’ works, the striking figure she cut as a muse to photographers and
painters like Robert Henri and her founding of New York’s Whitney Muse-
um of American Art, the first museum to be dedicated exclusively to Amer-
ican art. During her lifetime, she was recognized as a leader of the New
York art world, one of few women of her time who might reasonably make
that claim. Even so, at the time of her death, The New York Times identi-
fied her first and foremost as a sculptor, headlining her obituary “Mrs. H.P.
Whitney, Sculptor, Is Dead.” “That changed quite rapidly,” says Roberts, “in
part because of the direction of the history of art in the Twentieth Centu-
ry,” and, it must be acknowledged, because her philanthropic work was
indeed so visionary and exceptional.
But it would be a mistake to discount Whitney as an artist because we “John,” 1933–35. Bronze. The Ger-

fountain originally designed for the Arlington Hotel in Washington, DC, exist
now only in altered form: the Saint-Nazaire monument, destroyed by German
forces in 1941, was rebuilt in 1989; the Arlington fountain was never built as
conceived, though versions exist in Canada and Peru. But others remain more or
less in situ, including her affecting commemoration of the men who gave their
lives to save others during the sinking of the Titanic (Washington, DC) and her
energetic, bronco-busting “Buffalo Bill” (Cody, Wyo.).

This creates logistical problems for the modern curator, of course. “I think
without dealing with the public sculpture, you haven’t really dealt with her
career,” says Roberts, “but trying to represent that in an exhibition setting is
really difficult.” Luckily, Whitney’s methodology ensured that there are studies
and sketches — both drawn and modeled — for nearly every major work she completed. A plaster model of the
Arlington fountain demonstrates the artist’s inventive solution to the challenge of the fountain form and her
facility with the heroic male nude, while graphite sketches and bronze models of the Titanic and Saint-Nazaire
monuments give a sense of their sweeping lines and moving spiritual symbolism. In both pieces, the central
figures arms are outstretched, crucifix-like, in a gesture of sacrifice. For the latter two pieces as well as “Buffalo
Bill” — arguably her best-known public works — there are also a multitude of historical photographs, giving a
sense of the works’ monumental scale and popular appeal, as crowds press in to get a look.

The Saint-Nazaire monument reflects a sustained interest that Whitney had in the toll of war on the individual.
Having served as a Red Cross nurse in France during the First World War, Whitney witnessed the horrors of the
conflict firsthand, giving her a perspective that few other American artists had. Most sculpture related to World
War I was patently heroic, and while Whitney’s Saint-Nazaire monument undeniably fits that mold, her other
works, Roberts says, were “not glorifying [war] but instead thinking about it more as the tragedy that it really was
... [which was] unusual at the time.” This is most evident in a rarely seen group of small studies of individual sol-
diers that Whitney modeled not for any specific commission, but to work out her own feelings about the war she
was living through. The realistic, unidealized features of the works and the narrative titles she assigned them
—”Orders,” “Home Again,” etc — suggest real lives behind the materials, both expanding and personalizing the
same concepts she explored in her major commissions.

On the advice of a friend, Whitney had her clay studies cast in bronze to preserve them, and she exhibited them
at her own Whitney Studio in 1919. The studies would later provide inspiration and a visual language for a
monument, still in place, for New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood (a bronze model is in the show) and
the large bronze relief panels she produced for architect Thomas Hasting’s “Victory Arch” in New York’s Madison
Square. While the original arch is no longer standing, slightly smaller versions of Whitney’s reliefs remain in the
collection of Whitney’s Long Island studio, now a house museum, and are included in this exhibition.

Later in life, Whitney remembered the individual war studies as the “first
time” that she had “been able to approach what is in me to say.” Though she
had always courted public success and the legitimacy that it gave her, it
seems that she found a special kind of satisfaction in work that she made
more purely on her own terms. Some of these pieces, including her alluring
self-portrait, “Chinoise,” convey the same kind of serene idealism of many
of her public sculptures. But others were more like the war studies: rough-
er, expressionistic works that gave an aura of realism.

She made such pieces from the earliest days of her professional career.
Early examples include a portrait of her friend and fellow artist Jo Davidson
and a bust, “Spanish Peasant,” that she exhibited in the 1911 Paris Salon.
But later, when opportunities for public commissions dried up during the
height of the Great Depression in the 1930s, Whitney used the time to explore
in a more sustained way what was “in her to say.” “John” and “Gwendolyn,”
two portrait busts of either local working people or family servants, express
not only her conviction that all human lives were worthy of expression in art,
but also her remarkable ability to work simultaneously in drastically differ-
ent styles. And works like “Daphne” and “The Kiss” express her lifelong
admiration for that other master of sensual, expressionistic bronzes, Auguste
Rodin, whom she had met in Paris early in her career.

The impression she made upon the great French sculptor, as much as any-
thing, argues the case for assessing Whitney on her own terms, as an artist and
not an heiress. “I receive many foreign artists,” Rodin wrote to a friend shortly
after meeting her. “There are among them women and sometimes fashionable
women ... they think they are making sculpture to amuse themselves and
astonish their friends, but they do not have the moral courage which is neces-
sary to truly liberate themselves from the prejudices of their milieu. One came
to me, however, who is an exception… She is an American named Gertrude
Whitney. She has the gift. I think that she will go very far. Remember her
name and try to follow her exhibitions.”

“Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney: Sculpture” will travel to the Planting Fields
Foundation in Oyster Bay, N.Y., in June and to the Newport Art Museum in
Rhode Island in 2019.
