Hyman Bloom's Still Life Paintings:
Amphora Pottery in the Eye of a Modern Master
by Paul Royka
In 1940,
Hyman Bloom
was dubbed
“the
greatest
artist in
America” by
Clement
Greenberg,
Jackson
Pollock and
Willem de
Kooning. In
1942,
thirteen of
his
paintings
were chosen
to be
exhibited at
the Museum
of Modern
Art in New
York. He is
influenced
by Altdorfer,
Grunewald,
Caravaggio,
Rembrandt,
William
Blake,
Rudolph
Bresdin,
J.M.W.
Turner, John
Martin,
Chaim
Soutine and
Denman Ross
among many
others.
Bloom
synthesizes
Western
traditions
of art, his
experiences
in a morgue
and Mysticism
creating
powerful
paintings
exploring
themes of
the
harrowing
and the
beautiful.
With
comparisons
to Francis
Bacon &
Damien Hirst,
the recluse
Bloom is
receiving
more
appreciation
for his
contributions
to the world
of art.
Showing never before seen paintings from the estate of Hyman Bloom (1913-2009), this 82 page color exhibition book examines Bloom’s still life paintings through his use of Amphora Pottery. Made in Austria at the turn of the century, the art pottery is influenced by the Art Nouveau & Symbolist art movements. Hyman Bloom continued his exploration of the harrowing, beautiful and mystical by creating modern vanitas paintings using the pottery to explore his themes.
