Shawn<p>To wrap it up, traditionalism sells a revisionist history based on ads that sold a lifestyle that wasn’t real. I don’t blame the marketers - they had to sell products after all.

PotterdayArt<p>Wanted to take this one home from Bonhams NYC, but... outbid. &#39;The Hidden Apple,&#39; Philip Evergood (1901-1973). In the mid-1940s, his attention was increasingly toward the plight of women. The painting &quot;creates so vividly the sense of a vital and vulgar humanity.&quot; Evergood said, &quot;There&#39;s a universal Eve there, yet there&#39;s a pathos, I felt.&quot; <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/158808213_philip-evergood-1901-1973-the-hidden-apple-40-18-x-24-14-in-1019-x-616-cm-painted-in" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">liveauctioneers.com/item/15880</span><span class="invisible">8213_philip-evergood-1901-1973-the-hidden-apple-40-18-x-24-14-in-1019-x-616-cm-painted-in</span></a><br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/modernart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>modernart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artauction" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artauction</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artcollector" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artcollector</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artgallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artgallery</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artmuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artmuseum</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/potterdayart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>potterdayart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/midcenturyart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>midcenturyart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/figurativeart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>figurativeart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/americanart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>americanart</span></a></p>
PotterdayArt<p>&quot;Episode at Fire Island,&quot; Philip Evergood (1901-1973), 1967. Evergood was one of the leading Modernists of the 20th Century, combining abstraction and magic realism. He was a &quot;figurative painter when much of the art world placed greater value on abstraction, &amp; a moralist when moralizing was not considered an option for serious painters&quot; Private collection.<br /><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/americanart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>americanart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/magicrealism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>magicrealism</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/figurativeart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>figurativeart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/modernart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>modernart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/modernist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>modernist</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/midcenturyart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>midcenturyart</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/midcentury" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>midcentury</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artcollector" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artcollector</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artgallery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artgallery</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/artmuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>artmuseum</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/arthistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>arthistory</span></a></p>
PotterdayArt<p>&quot;Wonders of the Frog,&quot; ca 1960s, Phillip Evergood (1901-1973). A leading Modernist of the 20th century, Evergood blended abstraction &amp; realism in a way that found him also identified as a Magic Realist. Mid-century, he was distancing himself from political &amp; social issues to works that were more fanciful &amp; free with an almost childlike sweetness he seemed to never outgrow.
