A Personal ViewWinslow Anderson

In 1948, Selden Rodman, an authority on Haitian art, published a book titled Renaissance inHaiti. I first saw it on the coffee table of a friend who, at the time, was the head of the Bureau ofCultural Relations to the Caribbean and South America.

I was electrified by the illustrations of Haitian primitive paintings. At this time I did notknow the difference between Haiti and Tahiti, and my friend enlightened me regarding not onlythe location of Haiti, but also about a man named DeWitt Peters who had begun Le Centred’Art in Port-au-Prince. This center had become famous as the base for the beginning of mostHaitian painters.

My spontaneous enthusiasm for this genre of painting was a reaction to my previous arttraining from a zealous and devoted pupil of the renowned Hans Hofmann, whose teachingswere very Germanic and based largely on the school of cubism and the beginnings of abstractexpressionism. These art principles are largely cerebral and appeal to a painter in the same waya Bach fugue appeals to a musician. When introduced to the Haitian work, I saw, for the firsttime, fun and joy in paintings just as the musician would have fun in playing the “Blue Danube”or the “Beer Barrel Polka” as compared to a complicated fugue.

My friend from the United States Bureau of Cultural Relations had previously arranged a gen-erous grant to Le Centre d’Art. A letter of introduction that he wrote to DeWitt Peters was influen-tial in my relationship to Le Centre d’Art, and to the Haitian scene to which I responded rapturously.

My friendship with DeWitt Peters was instantaneous, spontaneous and genuine. It lastedthroughout my many visits to Haiti from 1949 until his death in 1966.

During these years I purchased many paintings – all chosen with my heart and not my head.Each one inspired me to “get to the easel” and start to paint.

I sincerely hope you will all have the same reaction, and experience for yourselves the “joyof painting.”

Backgroundon Winslow Anderson

Winslow Anderson was born in Plymouth, Massachusetts, May 17, 1917. Following hisgraduation from high school in 1935, he was for four years a handcraft potter at the PlymouthSparrow House Pottery. He attended New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University,graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1946. Immediately following his graduation, from 1946-1953,he became the first designer for Blenko Glass Company, Milton, West Virginia. While at Blenko,Anderson’s designs won many prestigious awards, including a 1951 Museum of Modern ArtGood Design Award. In 1953, he accepted the position of Design Director and Designer for LenoxChina, Trenton, New Jersey, and worked there for twenty-seven years. Anderson retired in 1979,and returned to Milton, West Virginia, where he lives today.

Anderson studied painting and drawing for several summers with Hans Hofmann inProvincetown, Massachusetts, and for several years took evening classes at the PennsylvaniaAcademy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, studying with Morris Blackburn and Oliver Grimley.

Introduction

To call this group of painting and sculpture a “collection” is actually a misnomer, as thatimplies that it was put together with some focus and purpose. Winslow Anderson prefers to callit an “accumulation of things that he loves.” From 1948 to about 1989, Winslow Anderson madeannual trips to Haiti – often visiting every six months. Each day he spent in Port-au-Prince, hevisited Le Centre d’Art, and with the eye of a trained artist/designer, he carefully perused thestacks of paintings available for purchase, pulled his favorites, and in a separate room, began hisown stack of works he wished to acquire.

DeWitt Peters determined the price of each painting the day before Anderson departedHaiti. The two would meet, go through Anderson’s “stack,” and figure prices. Anderson wouldreluctantly pare his selection down to those he could afford – and one can imagine the friendlydickering that must have occurred. In his forty years of visiting Haiti, Anderson met many ofthe pioneers of Haitian painting, and purchased representations of their early styles. A numberof works are gifts from artists to Mr. Anderson, including a copper cut-out sculpture by GeorgesLiautaud, an artist whose work Anderson could never afford to purchase. Anderson has favoriteartists, of whom he purchased numerous works; these include Gabriel Alix, Montas Antoine,Rigaud Benoit, Préfète Duffaut, Hector Hyppolite, Jasmin Joseph, Stephane Magloire, SénèqueObin, and Salnave Philippe-Auguste, among others.

Anderson’s main criterion for selecting a work is that it has to have “form.” He was drawn toHaitian paintings for just that reason. He believes that Haitian artists, especially in the early years,had an intuitive, almost innate, sense of form. Today, he feels that many very talented Haitian artistshave lost the essence of who they are; however he still finds their art marvelously decorative.

This important collection of 156 paintings, metal cut-outs, and wooden sculptures, allpromised gifts to the Huntington Museum of Art, have not been seen outside of the Tri-Stateregion (West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky), with the exception of five works (four by RigaudBenoit, and one by Salnave Philippe-August) that were part of the exhibition titled Haitian Art,organized by The Brooklyn Museum in 1978, which traveled to the Milwaukee Art Center, andthe New Orleans Museum of Art.

A selection of works from this collection has been on display at The Regional Arts Center,Centre College, Danville, Kentucky (April 5 - May 3, 1981); Southern Ohio Museum andCultural Center, Portsmouth, Ohio (May 24 - August 1, 1981); and The Headley-WhitneyMuseum, Lexington, Kentucky (April 4 - June 10, 1982). The collection has been shown at theHuntington Museum of Art in 1981, 1987, and 1991, where it has been on long-term loan since1981.

The Huntington Museum of Art is indeed honored to be the recipient of this wonderfulcollection, and we thank Winslow Anderson for his generous support of this catalogue, hisinvolvement with the Museum for the past twenty-five years, for his friendship, and for his undyingpassion for the art of Haiti and its people. The exhibition Winslow Anderson Collection of HaitianArt will be on view June 12 - August 19, 2004. Plans are under way to travel the collection, withthe hope of sharing it with Haitian art scholars and collectors all over the world.
