Edwin Dickinson
Edwin Walter Dickinson (October 11, 1891 – December 2, 1978) was an American painter and draftsman best known for psychologically charged self-portraits, quickly painted landscapes, which he called ''premier coups'', and large, hauntingly enigmatic paintings involving figures and objects painted from observation, in which he invested his greatest time and concern. His drawings are also widely admired and were the subject of the first book published on his work.〔Goodrich, 1963.〕 Less well known are his ''premier coup'' portraits and nudes, his medium-sized paintings done entirely from imagination or incorporating elements from one of his drawings or done from observation over several days or weeks, including still lifes, portraits of others, both commissioned and not, and nudes.
==His art characterized, interpreted, and evaluated==
Dickinson's art, always grounded in representation, has been compared to Surrealism, but the resemblance is superficial.〔Ward, 1003, pp. 34–35; De Kooning, 1952, p. 67; Waldman, 1965, p. 31.〕 His sensibility and emotional ties lie closer to Romanticism and Symbolism, and he was included in the Museum of Modern Art's 1943 exhibition ''Romantic Painting in America''.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 14, 31-38〕 But Dickinson generally avoided being grouped in any art movement, which contributed to his being somewhat marginalized, and he adamantly refused to take sides in the controversies between traditional representational painters and the avant-garde artists of the New York School, both groups of whom respected him.〔Ward, p. 15.〕 The tendency of his larger works toward monochrome, as well as the darkness of many of them, have also contributed to some observers' bewilderment and disapproval.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 107, 137.〕 Another complaint was that the strange juxtapositions and imagery in these works hint at underlying narratives or situations but their purpose is unclear, and Dickinson generally avoided explanation except to describe procedures, technical problems and formal concerns.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 14–15.〕 Even when he mentioned the underlying subject or theme of a painting or identified figures or objects in it, he acted mystified about some of its particulars.〔Ward, 2003, pp. 133–34.〕 But if some observers were frustrated and put off by the elusive character of the large paintings' content〔Schwartz, 1972, p.43.〕 others have been moved by them and have attempted explanations to account for the power they experienced.〔Adler, 1982; Driscoll, 1985; O'Connor, 2002; Ward 2003.〕 The frequently voiced view among critics, museum directors, and artists that Dickinson deserved greater recognition,〔Ward, 2003, p. 13.〕 led one critic to call him "perhaps America's best-known, underknown artist."〔Nancy Grimes, "Edwin Dickinson at Tibor de Nagy andBabcock," ''Art in America'' 85, no.3 (March 1997): 98-99.〕
