Born 1915, The Dalles, Oregon; died 2000, New York

Astrazione No. 1 (Abstraction No. 1)

1941

Oil on canvas

Gift of Peggy Guggenheim, 1966

To make Abstraction No. 1, Admiral carefully rendered abstracted shapes and forms, alternately scraping away delicate lines or creating patterns with fine brushwork, against a thick pink ground. A writer and artist, Admiral was active in the San Francisco poetry scene in the 1930s alongside peers including Robert Duncan, with whom she published the single-issue magazine Epitaph (1928), which developed into The Experimental Review. Admiral moved to New York in 1940 and studied at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts. There, she created works such as this that blend figuration and abstraction, creating compelling connections between recognizable and enigmatic objects with built-up layers.

Letters from Hayastan (Armenia) Letter no. 8

There’s a word in Armenian — արևահամ (arevaham) — that has no direct equivalent in English, yet it carries the warmth of an entire season, both in nature and in one's life.

It’s made of two roots: արև (arev), meaning "sun", and համ (ham), meaning "taste" or "flavor". Together, they form a word that means "sun-flavored", but it’s much more than that. It's a poetic way of describing something that’s been touched, ripened, or enriched by the sun, and carries "the taste", the warmth of the sun within itself.

As Charents wrote: "I love the sun-flavored (arevaham) word of my sweet Armenia."

Alongside արևահամ (“sun-flavored”), we have another luminous word: արևաբույր (arevabuyr). It means “sun-scented”. It is warmth made fragrant. Light made tender and almost tangible.

As Gurgen Mahari wrote: "The fresh morning air, sun-scented (arevabuyr) and rain-flavored, filled my heart with joyful longing."
