Albright, Ivan

American painter

in full Ivan Le Lorraine Albright

born Feb. 20, 1897, North Harvey, Ill., U.S.

died Nov. 18, 1983, Woodstock, Vt.

American painter noted for his meticulously detailed, exaggeratedly realistic depictions of decay and corruption.

Albright was educated at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, and the University of Illinois, Urbana, before World War I. After the war he trained at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and, briefly, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design, New York City.

In 1927 Albright settled in Warrenville, Illinois, near Chicago. Independently wealthy, he devoted himself to painting. In 1930 he completed Into the World Came a Soul Called Ida, a portrait of an aging, flabby woman looking into a mirror. Ultrarealistic, it conveys the ravages of time with startling surface detail. His first one-man show was held in Chicago the same year.

In 1931 Albright began That Which I Should Have Done I Did Not Do (The Door), which shows a scarred, decrepit door on which is hung a funeral wreath. Albright completed it in 1941, and in 1942 the work won both the Temple Gold medal at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the medal for best picture in the “Artists for Victory” exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. He went on to gain fame with his portrait of the final stage in the dissolute life of the title character in the film The Picture of Dorian Gray (1943–44). Among his other works are God Created Man in His Own Image (1929–30) and Portrait of Mary Block (1955–56). The pale, unearthly light and hallucinatory proliferation of detail in Albright's paintings convey an atmosphere of age and decay with morbid emotional intensity. Although his style defies simple stylistic categorization, the combination of intense realism with garish colour contrasts have led most art historians to associate his work with magic realism.
