Art Talker
Calvin Tomkins
1977
A fiery redhead with the speed of light, a cloud of
blue chiffon, and a hearty This lecture is about a very
good-looking man with rather thin legs who was born just under
five hundred years ago and had ideas about hospitality which
most of us would find it hard to put into practice who but
Rosamond Bernier, talking about François I of France, on a
recent Wednesday evening at the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
We are not alone in thinking Mme. Bernier the most stylish art
talker around. A recent lecture series in the Met s Grace Rainey
Rogers Auditorium was sold out two months in advance. Her
invigoratingly literate television interviews with Philip Johnson,
the architect, on CBS-TV s Camera Three made the three
Sunday mornings when they were shown astonishingly bearable
for a much larger audience. Could we catch up with this
scintillating creature (who has been married since 1975 to John
Russell, the Times s equally scintillating art critic) and importune
her with a few questions? We could and we did.
Imagine being paid to talk! Mme. Bernier said to us over
lunch in a midtown French restaurant the other day. I ve been a
listener all my professional life, and here I am talking everybody s
head off. Mme. Bernier s lecturing self, it seems, rose quite
recently from the ashes of her former, publishing-and-writing
self. After twenty-odd very busy years in Paris, where she and
her ex-husband, Georges Bernier, founded the magazine L OEil
in 1955 and made it into one of the century s best art journals,
she was, as she put it, left absolutely flat when, in 1969, she
lost both Bernier and L OEil through divorce. All at once, I
had nothing to do, she said. I just cried all day. Friends did
what they could to cheer her up, but nothing really helped
until Michael Mahoney, an art historian, persuaded her to
give fourteen lectures on modern art to his students at Trinity
College in Hartford in the fall of 1970. I was terrified at the
start, but it worked, she said. I m probably the only person
you know who hasn t been psychoanalyzed. Those lectures
literally saved my life.
Mme. Bernier, who was born in Philadelphia but grew up
mostly in London, approached her subject from the point of
view of an active participant. Having arrived in Paris in 1946
as European feature editor for the American Vogue, she followed
her natural bent toward art by becoming a close friend
of virtually all the important European artists of the period.
Picasso took to her because she spoke fluent Spanish as well as
French, and she was the first to see and report on his postwar
paintings. Matisse saw to it that she wrote the first article on
the chapel he was designing in Vence. Miró, Braque, Max
Ernst, and many other artists gave her exclusive interviews and
became lifelong Bernier-philes, and from 1955 on they all took
a personal interest in the development of L OEil. In her lectures
at Trinity, she was careful to avoid the famous-men-who-havebreathed-
on-me sort of gossip, but her close connection with
the Paris art scene, her memory for the telling detail, and her
own infectious delight in recapturing the atmosphere of the
period made for a wonderfully vivid presentation.
The Hartford success led to an invitation from Rice University,
in Houston, where she spent a month in 1971 as a guest of John
and Dominique de Menil. Roberto Rossellini was staying with
them, too, and we became great friends, she told us. Wha
