"Lady in Red," József Rippl-Rónai, 1898.

Hungarian artist Rippl-Rónai (1861-1927) doesn't get remembered the way he should.

After being trained as a pharmacist, he decided to study art in Budapest, and in 1888 he won a grant to study in Paris, where he joined up with my beloved Nabis. Under their tutelage, he had his first successes as an artist, and their influence stayed with him.

He returned to Budapest, and while it took him a while to get some recognition, he eventually was a success and now most historians regard him as Hungary's first artistic modernist.

He was a believer that his entire life should be reflecting his art, even how he dressed, and later in life he became fascinated by interior design and stained glass...which makes sense with this image, which could be a stained-glass window. He also stuck to the Nabi idea that art shouldn't be afraid to simply be beautiful.

From the Iparművészeti Múzeum, Budapest.

I went to the Blanton Museum on the UT Austin campus to see the exhibition "American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection: From Edward Hopper to Alma Thomas ".

Butt is the grandson of the founder of the HEB grocery chain and one use to which he put his considerable fortune is the collecting of American modernist art.

The one room exhibition reflects Butt's idiosyncratic interests. The titles of the seven sections of the exhibition hint at these preferences: Breaking Form: Cubism and Its Legacy, Urban Encounters, Intimate Perspectives, Precisionism, The Language of the Sea, Land Progressions, and Edges of Abstraction.

The human figure is seen only in a minority of the pictures here, and I sensed that the seascapes, landscape, and precisionist buildings have been Butt's central passion. From these to the impressive Alma Thomas and Ellsworth Kelly works hung next to each other seems a natural progression.

I was particularly struck by his Alice Neel not being a portrait but a depiction of a fire escape.

I spent the most time looking at some of the seascapes and the handful of hard edged abstraction works, one of which I have attached to this post.

The exhibition plots the history of American modernism only in the narrowest and most formalistic sense. As such, it cannot be taken as at all representative of the art of US modernity.

Of course, such a representation was not the objective of the exhibition. So what is the point of the show? I took a glance at the catalog, which seemed to be thin on art historical scholarship. Perhaps the collection's tour of just four museums, all in Texas, suggests that the exhibition is connected with possible institutional beneficiaries of the now aged collector's bequests.

If you happen to already be in Austin, it's worth dropping in, but unless you have a burning desire to see second tier American modernist work, don't make a special trip.

"Henry McBride on Winslow Homer," Florine Stettheimer, c. 1924.

Stettheimer (1871-1944) was many things (feminist, theatrical set designer, salonkeeper, all-around intellectual), but she was notably a Modernist painter with her own individual style.

In the 20s, some Modernists began to experiment with portraiture, going more for symbolism than just showing the person's face. Here, Stettheimer paints her friend, art critic Henry McBride, who was devoted to American art. Here he's incorporated into a painting by his favorite artist, Winslow Homer, and looking up at a miniature version of himself at the top of the tree, waving two American flags, indicating his devotion to art from the good ol' USA.

It's an amusing portrait that borders on caricature, but affectionately so, Perhaps a good painting for April Fool's Day?

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
