AMArt: Fall 2021 Albany Museum of Art Magazine

AMA | WINTER 2017 | DEC/JAN/FEB

A SEASON OF REAWAKENING

While the pandemic has continued to be a concern for everyone, activities began to take a more normal tone in late winter through summer. Art Ball 2021 was a successful event for the Albany Museum of Art, reimagined as a hybrid celebration conducted at home and in small groups. Artist lectures resumed for exhibitions of works by Butch Anthony and Paul Kwilecki. Family Day returned with steamroller printing in late July, and kids turned out en masse for the AMA’s full slate of summer art camps.

FROM THE DIRECTOR “In times of crisis, we must all decide again and again whom we love.”

Frank O'Hara, Meditations in an Emergency Dear Friends, It is a steamy, overcast Saturday, typical of late summer here in the Deep South. At the museum, our two new exhibitions by up-and-coming artists Sanaz Haghani and Cedric Smith tackle the role of women in a theocratic society and the forgotten history of African-American horse culture, respectively. These breathtaking works by these artists bring into high relief the power of art to be both beautiful and thought-provoking, to push us to question our notions of gender and race, historically and today.

Andrew James Wulf, Ph.D. Executive Director

In the Haley Gallery, twenty-six hot pink—yes, hot pink!—shipping crates sit in a premeditated formation, like a temporary Stonehenge, while their contents, twenty-nine Italian Renaissance and Baroque paintings from the Kress Collection at the Columbia Museum of Art, slowly acclimate to their new environment. These works will be exhibited starting August 26 in our newest show, titled European Splendors: Old Master Paintings from the Kress Collection.

With all this beauty and anticipation, what could possibly dampen the enthusiasm as we sit on the cusp of a groundbreaking show here at the AMA? I mean, just how often does Renaissance art visit Southwest Georgia?

The truth outside of the museum grows more challenging once again. Based on all reports, the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus is gaining momentum across the world. Almost all new cases in the United States are Delta in origin, and 97% of all Covid-19 hospitalizations are those who are unvaccinated.

Political strife runs amok between vaccinated and anti-vaxxers. And, nations are beginning to require “green certification”—proof of vaccination—in order to participate in social activities such as visiting museums, restaurants, and performances. New York and San Francisco have recently followed suit.

We at the AMA are concerned too and continue as best as we are able to abide by our mandate to remain open, free, and welcoming to all. While protocols to keep us safe may appear once again to circumscribe our lives, we at the AMA are here for all of you, our friends and future friends, near and far.

The great poet (and former director of the Museum of Modern Art) O’Hara pushes us, in times of crisis, to “decide again and again whom we love.” That would be you, dear friends. As always, that would be you.

All the best, Andy

IN MEMORIAM The Albany Museum of Art is mourning the passing this year of two of its beloved lifetime trustees, Stephen Ferrell Hinton and Sylvia G. Berry.

Steve and Sylvia have been celebrated by the Friends of the Albany Museum of Art as the first two AMA Treasures. A video honoring Sylvia debuted at a reception for her on April 8. A video honoring Steve and his wife, Bronwyn, is scheduled to debut in October.

STEPHEN HINTON

His work has been shown in New York, Albany, and throughout the Southeast.

Steve made countless friends and kept them throughout his life. Many of them navigated his illness with him, keeping him good company throughout, propping up his joyful spirit, and adding balm to the painful parts, for which his family is deeply grateful.

A native of Chattanooga, Tenn., Steve grew up in Atlanta and Tampa, Fla., where he graduated from Jesuit High School. He graduated from Vanderbilt

Bronwyn and Steve Hinton

Steve, who once served as interim director of the AMA, passed on Feb 28 at his Albany home. He painted his entire life, creating his first mural—at age six—on the back wall of his closet. Life delighted Steve, and he shared that delight with others and on canvas. He painted and drew what he loved: family, friends, parties, dogs, kids, Southern landscapes, and architecture…frequently all in the same artwork. His work and life were full of hilarity, story, and hospitality.

Steve Hinton and Rosemary Hamburger

University with a degree in Art History in 1974, and married college classmate Bronwyn Semmer in the fall after graduation.

The newlyweds lived and worked in Athens and Valdosta before moving to New York City, where Steve painted and showed his work out of a Chelsea studio while working for Frank Macintosh and Peter Barton at Henri Bendel. The couple settled in Albany in 1982 to work with his father and brother at Jim Hinton Oil

The couple moved to Tallahassee, then to Albany.

Sylvia had nearly 30 years of service as a music teacher in the Dougherty County School System and at St. Teresa’s Catholic School when she retired. She and Arthur were devoted church members and avid supporters of the arts. Sylvia and her family were passionate advocates of the AMA throughout their time in Albany.

Sylvia and Arthur Berry Sylvia Berry

SYLVIA G. BERRY Sylvia, a devoted wife, mother, and music educator, passed on July 8 at her Albany home. A native of Gadsden, Ala., she attended Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn. While at the university, Sylvia met her future husband, Arthur R. Berry.

She was an English major at Fisk before switching to her first love, which was music. She studied under the famed African-American composer John W. Work III, who was educated at what is now the Juilliard School of Music, in addition to Columbia and Yale Universities.

Sylvia began teaching in Pompano Beach, Fla., which was where she married Arthur, a noted artist and

EUROPEAN SPLENDORS OLD MASTER PAINTINGS FROM THE KRESS COLLECTION Centuries of social and cultural stagnation followed the fall of the Roman Empire, the period of almost a thousand years which historian William Manchester describes as “a world lit only by fire.” As the Middle Ages slowly opened to new ideas, yielding dramatic changes in government management, commerce, education, and religious practice, the world witnessed a revival of art, language, and culture that began to take hold in Italy starting in 1280. That gradual reawakening of ancient culture, led to the Renaissance and its spirit of humanism—a desire for the individual, the dominant unit in the new society, to make sense of what it means to be human, solitary, and free to search for meaning. This elevation of the individual and the creative output of the artists themselves, captivated the 15th and 16th centuries, reaching its height with the works of masters such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

Following that era of rediscovery, the Baroque Period (1600-1750) was an age of expansion. Where the Renaissance was a reverent revival of artforms from classical Greek and Roman antiquity in settings that were relatively static, Baroque art was dynamic, characterized by its deep colors, depictions of great drama and emotion, and intense lighting and shadowing.

Both of these periods are represented in the 29 paintings in European Splendors: Old Master Paintings from the Kress Collection, which is on view Aug 26-Dec 23, 2021 in the Haley Gallery of the Albany Museum of Art. The exhibition is organized by the Columbia Museum of Art, South Carolina, with support from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York. Its exhibition at the AMA was made possible by the Walter and Frances Bunzl Family Foundation.

“The AMA is deeply honored to host these rare examples of Renaissance and Baroque painting from the Columbia Museum of Art and its incomparable Kress Collection,” AMA Executive Director Andrew J. Wulf, Ph.D., said. “This partnership is a symbol of what great alliances can accomplish as we share these cultural treasures with all our communities in Southwest Georgia.”

GIRL WITH BLACK DOVE Giuseppe Maria Crespi Italian (Bolognese), 1665-1747 1715-30, oil on canvas Columbia Museum of Art, gift of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation During the 17th century, artists began painting scenes of ordinary life, or genre paintings. Crespi was among the first Italian painters to show the grime and squalor of contemporary life. Here, Crespi shows a young girl of modest means offering an enticement to a pet dove.

CAPRICCIO WITH A ROMAN ARCH Bernardo Bellotto Italian (Venetian), 1720-1780, c. 1745, oil on canvas, Columbia Museum of Art, gift of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Bellotto was Canaletto’s nephew and worked in his studio. He traveled extensively painting scenic views and landscapes for royal patrons across Europe. Bellotto’s paintings often appear more atmospheric and moody than Canaletto’s, demonstrating more interest in classical architecture. This work is a capriccio, or imaginary landscape.

JOSEPH PRESENTING HIS FATHER AND BROTHERS TO THE PHARAOH François Boucher French, 1703-1770 c. 1723-26; oil on canvas Columbia Museum of Art, gift of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation Boucher was the leading painter of the Rococo style and became the First Painter to the French King. In 1723 Boucher won the Prix de Rome but did not travel to Italy to study until four years later. This painting demonstrates his early fascination with serious historical themes and the color palette and architectural forms of Venetian painting.

HORSE POWER Works by Cedric Smith After a move to Macon, Ga., just as the pandemic closed down the city, Cedric Smith started construction of an arts studio in his backyard. Getting to know his new block, he had a drop-in visit by one of the neighborhood youths.

Browsing in Smith’s new studio building, this youth pointed to an archival photo framed on the wall of an African-American man riding a horse. He said, “I didn’t know Black men rode horses!”

This is where Smith starts his artistic investigation, asking what is not seen.

ESSAY TOPIC: WRITE DOWN THE WORD WOMAN ONE HUNDRED TIMES! New Works by Sanaz Haghani

The centerpiece of Sanaz Haghani’s exhibition is a 100foot-long screen print on paper with 100 repeated female images.

Sanaz Haghani was born and raised in Iran. Her incisive, deeply engaging work examines women’s role in Iranian culture and how the hijab, social class, and other forces keep women’s behavior and freedom in check.

Haghani’s work expresses the power of visual language piercing borders and differences, and “the cultural darkness surrounding minorities’ lives in the world and the beauty of human desire to overcome limitations imposed by oppressive powers around the world.”

“My work examines how culture and its identity can be understood from the status and circumstances of its women, such as the roles they play in society, the rights they enjoy (or not), and, most pointedly, the dress codes to which they must adhere,” Haghani said.

In this exhibition, Essay Topic: Write Down the Word WOMAN

One Hundred Times!, the viewer will face the poetry of cascading printed paper rich with dark, beautiful hues of ink and pigment, and with imagery considering the cultural history, the physical confinement, and political challenge of the prescribed cloth covering of the hijab. The exhibition opened July 10 in the McCormack Gallery of the Albany Museum of Art and continues through Dec 23.

“In this series of prints, I continue my investigation of the veiling of Iranian women,” Haghani said. “I question the doctrine of the hijab, and the ways in which this specific piece of clothing influenced and shaped my identity. Each of my works is constructed to magnify the roots and effects of the hijab. Different shapes of the hijab have transformed into a symbol of chastity and piety, into a cultural icon, a political manifesto, and finally related to the mental and

Haghani received her MFA from the University of Georgia and her BFA in Graphic Design from Sooreh University in Shiraz, Iran.

She is adjunct professor at the Rowan Cabarrus Community College. Previously, Haghani worked as a graphic designer for eight years in Iran, where she taught graphic design and drawing courses. She has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions across the United States. Recently, she was recognized in Women to Watch 2020 by the Georgia Chapter of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and included in Paper Routes at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Atlanta, Ga. — Didi Dunphy, Guest Curator

MICHAEL MALLARD: ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE Mallard, who describes his style as Post-Modernist, says the open studio is “brand-new territory” for him, and that he is thankful for the opportunity.

“I’ve always had a very private studio,” Mallard said.

“Painting in public is a new thing, but it’s a good experience. They’ll see my failures as well as my strengths. They’ll see the process, and they can ask questions and make comments.”

Mallard has exhibited in group or solo shows at the AMA; Andrew College; the Laissez Faire Gallery in Columbia, Tenn.; Union University in Jackson, Tenn.; Freed Hardeman University, Henderson, Tenn.; Davison Gallery at Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester, N.Y.; Spiers Gallery at Brevard College, Brevard, N.C., and others.

Michael Mallard, an associate professor of art at Albany State University, is producing art in a high-visibility studio—the Hodges Gallery in the Albany Museum of Art.

Visitors to the Albany Museum of Art can see the creative process in progress. South Georgia artist Michael Mallard, an associate professor of art at Albany State University and the AMA’s first artist-in-residence, has converted the Hodges Gallery into his art studio.

Mallard began working in the high-visibility environment in June. Visitors are welcome to come into his studio and ask questions, chat with Mallard or just watch him work. Some of his first visitors were from an ASU summer art camp.

AMA Executive Director Andrew J. Wulf, Ph.D., said the museum’s new artist-in-residence program is part of a trend to leverage the work of artists by giving them a space in which to work and helping them develop.

“Most importantly from an educational point of view, it gives visitors, as well as the artists, ample opportunities to interface and for the artist to share their process, their story with everyday museum visitors,” Wulf said.

As the AMA artist-in-residence, Michael Mallard is sharing the creative process with museum visitors, including these Albany State University summer art campers.

ELINOR SARAGOUSSI’S ESCAPE PLAN Escape Plan, an installation by Athens, Ga., artist and musician Elinor Saragoussi, creates a lively, otherworldly experience in its home in the West Gallery of the Albany Museum of Art. Filled with colorful, whimsical characters from Saragoussi’s fertile imagination and a custom soundscape, it also is an engaging pathway to AMAzing Space, the museum’s activity area that is enjoyed by families with young children. The installation, which is part of the AMA’s permanent collection, will mark its first anniversary this November.

COLLECTION SPOTLIGHT

SHOPPERS Kenneth Hayes Miller (1876-1952) was a senior member of the Fourteenth Street Group, urban realists devoted to creating honest portrayals of street life in Manhattan. Members included Reginald Marsh, Moses and Raphael Soyer, and Isabel Bishop. Miller studied at the Art Students League under the influential artist and teacher William Merritt Chase. Miller became a teacher at the ASL, where he taught for forty years. His students included Edward Hopper and Marsden Hartley. Miller was one of the first American artists to directly address consumerism in their work.

In the mid-1920s, Miller began painting the women shopping outside of his Fourteenth Street studio.

Miller’s etching Shoppers is an example of work from this period. Showing the bustle of a shop-filled street corner, the closely cropped image conveys a sense of intimacy which is contrasted by the detached expressions of the women. Miller creates an expression of loneliness within the urban crowd.

AMA CHALKFEST RETURNS NOV 13

After being conducted as a virtual event last year, Albany Museum of Art ChalkFest is returning to downtown Albany on Saturday, Nov 13, 2021. The 10 am-5 pm street festival, which will include live music and tastings, will again center on professional chalk artists, who this year are being challenged to recreate Renaissance and Baroque period masterpieces on the pavement in the 100 block of Pine Avenue.

In 2019, AMA ChalkFest attracted more than 4,000 people, and festival Co-Chair Mallory Black says organizers are hoping it will be just as popular this year. Admission will be free.

“We will have all the things everyone loved at our first two ChalkFest events—professional chalk artists creating unique artworks on the pavement, live music throughout the day, libations, food trucks, and vendors,” she said.

The masterpiece theme for AMA ChalkFest is inspired by the exhibition European Splendors: Old Master Paintings from the Kress Collection, which is on view

through Dec 23 in the Haley Gallery of the AMA. “We are excited to create synergy between this fabulous exhibition at our museum and this wonderful gathering that is returning to downtown Albany, our future home,” AMA Executive Director Andrew J. Wulf, Ph.D., said. “Having seen the marvelous works these talented professional chalk artists have created at previous ChalkFests, we are eager to see their grand interpretations of classic masterworks.”

Sponsors (as of deadline for this magazine) are Smile Doctors of Albany, Yancey Rents, Adams Exterminators, Synovus, Georgia Community Bank, F&W Forestry, Bishop Clean Care, Fleming & Riles, Albany Internal Medicine, and LRA Contractors.

Information about the festival, including available sponsorships and applications for professional chalk artists, food trucks, vendors, and volunteers, can be found at www.amachalkfest.com.

HIGH SCHOOL TEEN ART BOARD STARTS NEW YEAR Anna Plowden, a senior at Westover High School, will find avenues for her love to create as president of the Albany Museum of Art Teen Art Board for the 2021-22 school year. She succeeds Sarah Katherine Harris, who graduated from Deerfield-Windsor School in May. “I am very active in my school and community,” Plowden said. “One of my favorite things is to enjoy the company of family. I also love to be active, whether this is by partaking in school sports or activities with friends. I am very excited to be Teen Art Board president and have huge plans with the AMA.” One of Plowden’s ideas, Student Art Saturdays, is launching this fall, thanks to funding from the Morehouse School of Medicine. Participants will have a small exhibition of their works that relate to the mental health of teens. Student Art Saturdays will be a free and creative outlet for students of all ages to come together without judgment and express themselves.

AMA Director of Education & Public Programming Annie Vanoteghem said the organization is open to all area high school students and serves an important purpose. “I am so proud of our local teens and their

Anna Plowden, President, Teen Art Board

commitment to our community,” she said. “They recognize issues and work to make their voices heard through the arts.”

Harris, who is attending Southern Methodist University, said her experience on the Teen Art Board will be beneficial. “I know everything I have learned on Teen Art Board will benefit me for my future,” she said.

Harris had the idea for and organized the TAB’s Love for Liberty House project last February. The collected art supplies were delivered in May to Liberty House for children at the non-profit organization that provides services for victims of domestic violence.

Sarah Katherine Harris and Annie Vanoteghem deliver art supplies the AMA Teen Art Board collected through its Love for Liberty House project.

Members of the Teen Art Board commit to regularly attending meetings during the school year. Each member receives a complimentary AMA membership and agrees to assist in conducting special events at the museum.

To participate, a student must visit the AMA and select one of six designated art objects from current exhibitions as inspiration for an essay of 1,000 or fewer words. The essay, which must relate to the selected art object, may be written as prose or poetry, and it may be factual or fictional. There is no cost to submit an essay, and only one essay may be submitted per student.

Any college student who lives in Southwest Georgia and any student currently enrolled at Albany State University, Albany Technical College, Georgia Southwestern State University, Valdosta State University, Thomas University, and Andrew College, regardless of hometown, are eligible. Dually enrolled students compete at the college level.

The high school division is open to public and private high school students in Baker, Calhoun, Colquitt, Crisp, Decatur, Dougherty, Early, Grady, Lee, Miller, Mitchell, Seminole, Sumter, Terrell, Thomas, and Worth counties.
