Note: In 1926 Jackson rentedEl Manglar in Chapala, Mexico where he and his new wife Eileen spent a fewmonths of an extended honeymoon. There Jackson’s work focused on ‘’Öthe lake,its shore, fishermen, and boats’’ (D.S. Atkinson, ‘’Everett Gee Jackson, San DiegoModern, 1920-1955’’, p. 25). According to Atkinson, ‘’One untitled painting, referredto as ‘Garden Setting by Lake Chapala’, closely corresponds to a description pennedby [D.H.] Lawrence: ‘Above the willow trees a square white sail was standing, asif erected on the land’...Jackson’s view to the lake through twin tree trunks andstretching to the mountains beyond created ‘Garden Setting by Lake Chapala’s’dense and complex linear composition. Each leaf of the lush green foliage crowdingthe foreground appears to be individually drawn. The two lithe tree trunks form aprominent ‘V’ in the composition, and behind the left branch is a vertical mast toppedby a horizontal boom; from this structure hangs the ‘square white sail’. Due to theobstruction created by the dense foliage and small shack, the sail appears to riseout of the vegetation, in Lawrence’s words, ‘as if erected on the land.’ The sinuouslines of the tree are analogous to the limbs of a living being: the bulging shapes ofJackson’s new method produced another landscape with an inner vitality’’ (Atkinson,pp. 25-26).

It most likely dates from the years 1948 - 1949. Born in Vienna in 1915 toJewish parents, Koerner immigrated to the US after the Anschluss to escape Nazipersecution, leaving his parents and brother behind. They stayed because they lovedVienna and friends told them ‘’everything would be all right later on.’’ Returning toVienna for a visit in 1946, Koerner learned that his parents had been taken to anextermination camp and killed. The following year in Berlin, Koerner had his first onemanshow. This debut show was a stunning success, establishing his internationalreputation. Shortly after his return to America in 1947, he received furtherenthusiastic reviews for a one-man show in New York, at the Midtown Galleries.Under the Overpass, Koerner’s son Joseph writes, is ‘’A great painting, veryimportant...the big red trolley is a key image in his work. It refers both to the trolleythat passed before his childhood home, the Number 5 trolley; and it has a sort ofarchetypal meaning as the coming and going of people into life and out again, indeath, a meaning I believe is compounded by the fact of his parents being deportedto the extermination camp by train.... The actual setting for the painting is, I imagine,a combination of two things: some train somewhere in NYC, perhaps in Brooklyn,where my father lived; and an overpass cutting over the great boulevard of treescalled the Hauptallee, in the Prater.’’ Bridges are another recurring motif in Koerneríswork, another symbol of the (coming and going) between life and death which hereferred to as a visual ‘’umbilical cord.’’ They fascinated him, he said, because ‘’youare not on one side or another but on a different level of existence.’’ The uniformedfigure at the front of the train is one of many authority figures in Koernerís workthat are sometimes assigned on God-like powers here conducting the others on themomentous journey between life and death. The woman holding the handkerchiefto her face is presumably Koernerís mother, as is the female passenger on the train,and the woman with her back is perhaps one of the friends who told them that‘’everything would be all right later on.’’ As Joseph Koerner writes: ‘’the beauty of thepainting, and its public significance, far transcends the personal story it contains,however painful and resonant that story itself may be.’’ (For the full essay, pleasevisit johnmoran.com).
