- My Thesis Advisor
for my UNCG Masters Degree was the writer -Arturo Vivante, Biographical
Information: born 1923, in Rome, Italy, and lives in America. Vivante's
books written while I was at UNCG, a time span during 1968 -1969 were:
The French Girls of Killmi (short stories), Little Brown;
1967 and Doctor Giovanni (novel), Little, Brown; 1969. I
do remember reading A Goodly Babe (novel, 1966). Vivante
writes in English.
-
- Carol Sutton-Martin's MEMORIES OF AUTURO VIVANTE: Vivante
has been on the faculty of several American universities and was at University
of North Carolina in Greensboro, North Carolina, during 1968 and 1969,
when I was earning my Masters Degree. I met with Arturo Vivante in his
office on several occasions and read his books, which I liked very much.
Vivante's writing is filled with humanity, touching observations, and poetic
recall. We mostly discussed my artwork and his writing. Vivante always
a gentleman and once pulled out his lower desk draw where he kept a bottle
of wine and a couple of wine glasses, after all he is Italian, to offer
me a glass of wine. Not on every visit, just occasionally. At the end of
the semester it came time for my thesis examination; which took place in
an open area of The Weatherspoon Art Gallery, where I had set up my four
sculpture works. The grouping was a loose semi circle of chairs with the
all male faculty and me a young woman, facing them. I was somewhat nervous
yet ready to articulate and defend my Masters Degree Presentation. Arturo
Vivante could sense my nervousness and to break off the harsh questioning
by the professors offered me a cigarette. He took his time pulling one
cigarette slightly out of the pack and extending the pack out to me, waiting
for me to reach for it. Then he pulled out a pack of matches and lit one
and slowly held it so that I could light my cigarette; all the time the
other professors were waiting, chomping at the bit, so to speak, ready
to pounce the next question on me - but Professor Vivante had broken the
pattern, had paused the moment, and his delay and kind gesture helped me
to keep a cool demeanor {stay calm}, during my Masters exam questioning
session. I could sense the irritation of the other men, almost like they
were thinking, 'Oh brother, get on with it." It was almost as if Arturo
was silently saying to me, 'don't worry, you are doing fine.' The funny
thing is that to this day, I can't recall exactly who the other men were;
and rather, I only remember Arturo Vivante and his kindness to me.

- Excerpt biographical notes:
- SUBJECT: silk screen portfolio of prints titled The
Artist As A Young Woman - Picabia.: Jacob Kainen Collection,
Smithsonian, Collector Ruthie Julian.
-
- Age twenty-two, her work enters the Jacob Kainen Collection,
who is the curator of prints and drawings for the Smithsonian, in Washington,
D.C. , (She was told by her dealer that this was for The National Collection
of Fine Arts in Washington, D. C., but did not learn until decades later
when her book was published, while checking for copyright, that her work
was bought by Jacob Kainen for his own personal collection.) with a portfolio
of 16 serigraphs, titled The Artist As A Young Woman - Picabia.
A note in my diary of 1969, 1970, notes that Rudi Julien bought a portfolio
of silkscreen prints from the Contemporary Art Gallery of Winston-Salem,
North Carolina. Almost as a miracle, I heard about Ms. Julian, in 2002
via an email from Bob Cheek.

- Subject: Ruthie Julian
-
- Carol: My name is Robert Cheek. I'm an art dealer and appraiser from
Durham, North Carolina. I have been asked by Ruthie's son to evaluate
her art holdings. Ruthie has, at age 93, been moved to an assisted living
arrangement and her condo and belongings are being sorted out. Among the
many art works in her holdings is a set of 14 silkscreen prints you did
in 1967 while at RPI and entitled "The Artist As a Young Woman".
I assume Ruthie bought the set from you when you had your show at the old
Gallery of Contemporary Art (now South Eastern Center for Contemporary
Art - SECCA) in 1968 although it may have been a bit earlier or later.
You may not recall meeting/knowing Ruthie but I am sure you remember that
fine suite of images.They were done in an edition of 50 and the set Ruthie
bought was #6, which you kindly dedicated to her. I wonder if you could
provide me a figure, either as your estimate or based on secondary market
experience, as to the current retail worth of the set, please? It is my
policy to always defer to/confer with living artists when they can be referenced.
If you are not comfortable providing the estimate perhaps you could steer
me to one of your dealers who has experience with your graphics. You may
be pleased to know that of the several hundred items in her holdings Ruthie
had a particularly strong affinity for your set and held on to it all these
years. It is still in the original portfolio, unframed as was most of the
material she collected. She simply never had room enough to exhibit all
the items but loved browsing back over the pieces from time to time. She
is unaware of your great success over the years but always proclaimed you
to be "...one of the most precocious student artists to ever come
through here". How right she was. Thank you for considering this
request. I look forward to your response. Robert Cheek http://www.artnet.com/robertcheek.html

- Dear Bob Cheek,
-
- What a wonderful surprise to receive your amazing praise
filled email about you friend and client Ruthie Julian. I
was so touched that I called up my husband and read him the whole thing.
It was so wonderful to read that Ruthie is alive at age 93
and remembers me. I was so happy to read that she bought my portfolio;
"The Artist As a Young Woman, Picabia" about 31 years
ago.
-
- In those days I went by my first married hyphenated name
of : Carol Sutton-Martin. { then, age 19, 1965, married to
Dennis Stillwell Martin }, but after my divorce (1975), I had my
name changed back to my maiden surname of SUTTON and subsequent second
marriage in 1977 to André Joseph Lucien Fauteux, I
go by the name: Carol Sutton.
-
- >You may not recall meeting/knowing Ruthie but I am
sure you remember that fine suite of images.
-
- To be completely honest I do not remember meeting Ruthie
Julian; and indeed may not have met her in Winston-Salem, North
Carolina. I did not have a car in those days and just traveled there a
few times, once to set up my show in the then called [1968] Gallery
of Contemporary Art, now called as you inform me; (now South Eastern
Center for Contemporary Art - SECCA) and on subsequent visits to sign some
of my portfolios of silk screens and to pick them up finally {those that
were unsold} at a later date.
-
- I indeed do very well remember that portfolio; "The
Artist As a Young Woman, Picabia" and those images. It took me
over 2 years work to complete the whole portfolio, which I started out
printing
1967 in my 100 North Plum Street ground floor apartment, in Richmond,
Virginia, in my kitchen on my dining table, that I converted to a silk-screen
table and had the whole kitchen hung up with clothes line ropes and strung
with close -pins, on which I hung my wet silk-screens to dry; and then
in 1968 finished the edition{ about the last six prints in the edition},
in my 601 Church Street #2 apartment, home in Greensboro, North Carolina,
where I lived for three years from 1967 until 1970, when I migrated to
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I loved those images and did paintings of many
of them at that time in both Richmond and then in Greensboro. Greensboro,
by the way is where my sweet Momma , Nancy Chester SUSTARE,
now deceased, who was the daughter of Beverly Townsend Sustare
and Nannie Clara Williams, came was born and raised.

- I do remember taking some of my silk-screen portfolios
there on consignment. The then {1967-1968} gallery director and curator
of Gallery of Contemporary Art, now called SECCA, was a very
nice man. Do you know his name??? I even tried to take a quick look
into my file cabinets to see if I could find his name or correspondence,
which I know I kept and it is buried somewhere in my papers/ maybe in the
basement. I tend to try and save all related papers and documents. Anyway,
this director asked me to sign a number of portfolios that he was successful
in placing with clients / collectors. And this may be how I came to sign
the one to Ruthie Julian. Also, I could, now that I think
about it; have met Ruthie at the opening of my 1968 exhibition
in Winston-Salem.
-
- It is so touching to me to read all this about how she
loved to look through them and Ruthie's love of my images.
-Your special message to me. It certainly made my day. Please give both
Ruthie Julian and her son my kindest regards and tell Ruthie
that I am thinking of her as one astute and inspired collector. I had a
look at your find page in the artnet.com site and thought it was very good.

- I am happy to give you a value. Please advise me as to
the status you desire.

EXCERPT FROM BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES:
-
- In 1969, she received a Master of Fine Arts Degree
and the Chancellor's Purchase Award for her sculpture from
the University of North Carolina
at Greensboro.
{Web link: http://www.uncg.edu.html } Web link: Weatherspoon
Art Gallery at http://www.uncg.edu/wag.html. Working along side
her long time friend and fellow artist and alike minded companion Kent
English, while at UNC; who now is CEO of English Signs of Salisbury,
Maryland.
- Her UNCG professors are Will Insley of New York City,
Walter Barker, Gilbert Carpenter, Stephen Antonakas, thesis advisor, writer
-Arturo Vivante.
-
- She moves from Greensboro, North Carolina to Toronto
(an inland port), Ontario, Canada in 1970, sponsored on her immigration
papers at the border by her good friend and former next door neighbor from
Plum Street in Richmond, Virginia, Djénane Lemmon. Djénane
Lemmon is the reason Carol moves to Canada for it was Djénane
who provided Carol with her first Canadian exposure in 1965 when she and
Dennis went to Toronto and Shanty Bay, Ontario to visit with her at her
city home and her Stonywood estate. Carol originally wished
to move to New York City, experience it and savor it's art museums
and galleries and then to move out after two years and live in Vermont
or somewhere in New England. But her husband Dennis did not want to move
to New York City, so the next choice in major cities that were east coast
oriented were Atlanta,Georgia and Toronto, Ontario. Carol thought these
would be the cities that would change within the next decades and offered
bright futures. Toronto was chosen over Atlanta, really as a choice of
city and not as a choice of country. When Djénane moves back to
Canada a few years later, they become fast friends once more.
In Toronto she soon meets new music composers,
including David Jaeger, James Montgomery, Larry Lake and
David Grimes; makes moving stage sculpture and light work for computer
synthesized sound for The Canadian Electronic Ensemble and does
a joint work , 'Fancy', with David Jaeger for The University
of Toronto. Sally and David Jaeger are close friends
of Carol's and they hold the largest private collection of Carol Sutton's
art outside of her own collection. Sally Jaeger is a professional
story-teller. Carol Sutton Martin separates from Dennis Stillwell
Martin on July 4, 1971(Independence Day) and late divorces resuming
her maiden name. Three years later she meets her future husband, André
Fauteux, a Toronto sculptor, who is listed in The Canadian Encyclopedia.
Ms. Sutton and André Joseph Lucien Fauteux, marry on June
25, 1977 and have two children, a girl, Viva-Laura Claire Sutton-Fauteux,
born on June 12, 1980, and a boy, Yale Quentin Sutton-Fauteux, born
on March 9, 1983.
