Myron G. Barlow (May 1870 in Ionia – 14 August 1937 in Étaples) was an American figurative painter known for his paintings of the lives of rural French women. A gold medalist in international art exhibitions, he had a home at the Etaples art colony (the colony a place in France in which American artists converged before World War 1). He was friend to Henry Ossawa Tanner. He also remained a resident of Detroit.[14]

Biography

Confidences, circa 1910. Barlow had another painting called Confidences featuring 3 women around a table, sold in 1912.[15]

Myron G. Barlow was born on April 15, 1873 in Ionia, Michigan of the marriage of Adolph and Fanny Barlow.[16] His father had been born in Breslau, Germany, immigrating to the United States in 1849 and serving in the Union Army with the 5th Michigan Infantry Regiment during the Civil War.[17][18] Barlow trained at the Detroit Museum School (later the Detroit Fine Arts Academy), where he studied with Joseph W. Gies (1860–1935).[19][20][21] He began his career as a "sketch artist" on the staff of the Detroit Free Press.[22] He would also study at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Barlow left for Europe in 1893 to study, and, upon his arrival in France at the age of twenty-one, was noticed by William Bouguereau.[23][19] He enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme.[19][14] In Amsterdam he discovered Johannes Vermeer while reproducing paintings at the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.[13][19] His paintings have been compared to Vermeers, many featuring women set into a "dreamlike atmosphere", caught frozen in a moment, with the image dominated by an overall color.[13] An overall theme throughout his paintings is the depiction of "the luxury of the poor."[24] Another critic described his art as showing the quiet "resignation of feminine labor."[25][26]

Around 1900 in France, Barlow settled in Trépied, near Étaples[13] and joined the Étaples school of painters. He used three models in this period; Julie Sailly, Louise Descharles (born in 1909) whom he would paint for twenty years, and her sister Marie.[27][28] Possibly he had more than one Louise as a model, or one model had three names over time; Louise Perrault, Louise Grandidier and Louise Descharles were all cited as Barlow's model.[28][29][30]

He ran an art school in Etaples.[31] Among his students was James S. Booth.

Barlow was a regular exhibitor in the Paris Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts (National Society of Fine Arts), and his name was used in newspapers in the United States to denote American participation in the event. In 1907, he was the only American elected to the society.[5][13] Like the Société des Artistes Français, which put on the Paris Salon, the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts was a professional association which put on art exhibitions. He became a full member of the society in 1915, when his paintings won the gold medal.[11] He exhibited consistently over years, and it was noted that critiques of Salon works often found time to mention his paintings.[32]

The Gossips. Possibly the 1904 award-winning painting.

In 1914, he was a founding member of a group in France calling themselves the American Artists Association, along with Frederick Carl Frieseke, Richard E. Miller, Myron Barlow, George Elmer Browne, Max Bohm, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Walter Griffin, John Noble, Charles Hawthorne and George Oberteuffer.[5][33]

Barlow returned temporarily to the United States when the German army in World War 1 overran the area he lived in, near Belgium.[34] His work was part of a group of American paintings brought from France to San Francisco on the Navy ship U.S.S. Jason, for exhibition in the Panama-Pacific Exhibition.[11][35] For that show, he exhibited the same paintings which won him full membership in the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and they won the gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exhibition as well.[11]

He lived for a period in "artist's colony", whose members included Joseph Gies (one of Barlow's former teachers), Frances Paulus, Ivan Swift, and John Morse.[36]

In Detroit, he was president of the Scarab Club around 1918. Among his major accomplishments were four large murals which he painted for the main auditorium of Temple Beth-El, completed in 1925.[37]

He is recognized for his work with gold medals at the St. Louis[38] and Panama Pacific exhibition,[22][39] and for having his works purchased by numerous international museums, including the Quentovic Museum in Étaples in France, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Detroit Institute of Arts. The Detroit Club and the private collection of Baron Edmond de Rothschild include works by Barlow.[13][19][40]

After World War 1, he returned to France in May 1920.[41]

Barlow lived both in Etaples and in Detroit.[13][42] While his primary home was to become Etaples, he continued to interact with the Detroit community, making trips back.[42][43] At the end of his life, living in Detroit, his final trip to Etaples was with the intention of selling his house there, to spend his final years in Detroit.[13] He died in France on 14 August 1937 in Étaples in the Pas-de-Calais department and is buried in the municipal cemetery.[44][45]

Connection to Breslau Jewish community

Myron Barlow's grandparents emigrated from Breslau, Germany to the United States by way of Hull, bringing Myron's father Adolph with them.[17] Had they remained and he born in Breslau, they would have been part of the Jewish community there that numbered about 7,384 in 1849 and 20,202 in 1933.[46] That community was devastated after 1933; its population shrank to 10,309 by 1939.[46] Hitler's 3rd Reich shut down most places of worship and schools for Jewish people in 1939 and sent the population to concentration and extermination camps in 1941-1942, including Auschwitz, Sobibor, Riga, and Theresienstadt.[46]

Myron died in 1937, about the time the destruction of his ancestral community was beginning; had his family been in Breslau in the four years after his death, they would have suffered the same fate as other Jewish people in their community.

Murals in Detroit

Myron Barlow created mural paintings for his parents' synagogue in Detroit, at the suggestion of Rabbi Leo M. Franklin.[4] It was mentioned that Barlow looked at the work of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo in France, and he himself studied and possibly painted ceilings in Paris.[47] Four murals in the Temple Beth El were dedicated in 1925 and still survive today, each measuring 8 feet 3 inches in diameter.[48][49] Barlow's four paintings were painted on canvas in France and then brought to the United States by him, to be installed in the temple.[48] The paintings were written about in March 1923, when the first to be completed, "The Prophet in Conflict With The Church" was displayed at the Institute of Arts.[50] They were among the first paintings to be placed in a Jewish temple as decoration.[51]

The four paintings were written about in The Advocate in 1925. The paintings include The Patriarch in which Abraham welcomes three strangers, The Prophet in which 11 figures react to the words of a prophet, a painting of older European Jews from the middle ages teaching the young, and The Immigrant depicting an immigrant with prayer book passing the Statue of Liberty.[48]

He had a family connection to the temple. In his mother's obituary, the temple was listed as the one she attended.[52] His father's funeral services took place at the temple.[17] His sister Rose was also active at the temple.[4]

In a separate event, when the older Beth El Temple was converted into the Bonstelle Theatre, Barlow directed the interior decoration in "Italian style."[53]

Grandfather, 1903. Possibly Barlow's 1904 Paris Salon painting.[55] This color scheme was described as "Rembrandt shades".[56]

About 1909, Barlow made a shift in the way he was using colors. His hometown newspaper, the Detroit Free Press, commented on his shift, saying, "The low, dark tones in which Mr. Barlow painted at the time of his last exhibition [1907[57]] have given place to harmonious gray and blue tints."[58] Another said, "dreamy studies...in greys, blues and mauves."[59]

His color was further characterized in 1914, as being of "light, reserved tones...delicate shades...."[60]

In 1916, the work was defined as "blue pictures," "high key" with "figures placed against a very light or white background."[5] He claimed to have pioneered pictures in an overall blue cast;[5] another to use this blue cast was his friend Henry Ossawa Tanner.[61]

When I first saw him, a good many years ago, in Paris, he was suffering from an original form of cramp, for, in deep admiration of the work of Tiepolo, the painter of ceilings, he had just been spending day slung from one, fly-fashion. Whether any of Barlow's painted ceilings now exist is doubtful, but many of his picture can be seen in Paris, in the Academy ot Philadelphia, and at his native Detroit.

Very different, yet equally clever, is the "Cinderella." Still there is more to the "story" in this canvas, all the pathos, the longing, the unsatisfied cry of the soul in this rich, yet brilliant painting.

It is a simple study—as are all the Barlow Canvases—two maidens in the quaint garb of Picardy, one atop a table, pillowing in her lap the head of her companion, who sits in a chair reading a letter just received. It needs only a glance at the picture of the poilu framed on the wall to guess the writer of the missive that is holding the undivided attention of the reader. The picture is termed "The Poilu's Letter," and its inspiration was the world war as it left its impress on Mr. Barlow.
