U.S. Senior Open is a major 100th birthday present for Scioto Country Club

By Bob Valasek IN AUGUST, 156 GOLFERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD who have reached age 50 will compete for the largest purse of the year, with a winner’s share of $675,000.

And they’ll be doing it right here in central Ohio.

The U.S. Senior Open Championship, the most celebrated senior golf tournament in the world, will be held Aug. 8-14 at Scioto Country Club in Upper Arlington.

More than 100,000 spectators are expected to pass through the gates of the country club to watch some of the biggest names in golf – such as Fred Couples, Tom Watson, John Daly, Bernhard Langer, Vijay Singh, Hale Irwin and Kenny Perry – vie for the title.

Many of the players competing in the U.S. Senior Open still compete regularly on the PGA Tour with much success. For instance, Langer entered the final day of the Masters Tournament this year just two strokes off the lead, Perry played in the 2015 Memorial Tournament and Watson played in his final Masters this year.

This is the second time Scioto has hosted the U.S. Senior Open. The country club is one of only seven golf courses in the country that have hosted five different major competitions, starting with the 1926 U.S. Open, won by golfing legend Bobby Jones, and followed by the 1931 Ryder Cup, 1950 PGA Championship,

Scioto staffers learned in 2012 that the club was to host the U.S. Senior Open four years later. And it only adds to the thrill of hosting one of golf’s biggest events of the year that it coincides with the club’s 100th anniversary celebration this summer. This confluence of celebrations has members of the club and the general central Ohio public eager to show the world what Columbus has to offer.

And the world will be watching. Fox will broadcast 18 hours of live coverage of the tournament and distribute the broadcast internationally to over 100 countries, says Tom Sprouse, communications director at HNS Sports Group. HNS Sports Group is the event manager for both the U.S. Senior Open and the Memorial Tournament.

In addition to the immense exposure our city and region will receive, there is also a significant economic effect when an event this large comes to town.

“The estimated economic impact to the central Ohio community is $10-15 million,” says Sprouse.

Columbus’ Two Tournaments When central Ohioans think about local golf tournaments, the Memorial Tournament is the first thing that comes to mind. With its 41-year history here and legendary host Jack Nicklaus, the tournament and Columbus are indelibly linked.

For those who may be familiar with the format, players and other ins and outs of the Memorial Tournament, or for those watching the U.S. Senior Open for the first time, here’s what to expect.

Players The main difference between the Memorial Tournament and the U.S. Senior Open is obvious: the age of the players.

The Senior Open is only for players who’ve hit the big 5-0 by Aug. 11, the first day of official tournament play. But as recently as 2013, Couples, Perry and Singh, who are committed for the U.S. Senior Open this year, all played in the Memorial Tournament, and Perry played his final PGA

Tour event in last year’s Memorial Tournament.

Daly, one of golf’s most popular players because of his unconventional approach to the game, just turned 50 on April 28 of this year and will Bernhard Langer reacts after his eagle on the first hole during the final round of the 2015 U.S. Senior Open. be playing in his very first Copyright USGA/John Mummert U.S. Senior Open.

How to Get There The U.S. Senior Open’s main admissions gate is right off Riverside Drive, but parking there won’t be as simple as cruising into the lot.

Most of the parking areas around Scioto Country Club will be used for hospitality and service parking, so the majority of public parking is west of the Ohio Stadium. Shuttles from public parking to the country club will run about seven minutes.

New immunotherapy developments in treating leukemia and lymphoma

By Jessica Williams

THOUGH BLOOD CANCERS SUCH AS LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHOMA have long sty-

mied researchers searching for a cause, treatment is another matter, and innovations in disease management options are advancing on the cutting edge of today’s cancer research.

“People tend not to understand that you can have a cancer of blood cells,” says Dr. Jeffrey Jones, a specialist in hematology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. “Or that it’s an extensive, systemic disease.”

Unlike solid tumors that usually occur primarily in a single site and have the propensity to metastasize, many blood cancers are systemic cancers from the beginning.

“Leukemia is in your blood,” says Jones. “It’s everywhere.”

Leukemia occurs when cancerous cells are in a patient’s blood and bone marrow. Lymphoma occurs when the problem is primarily in the cells that reside in lymph nodes and, secondarily, in the blood or bone marrow.

For many years, the best treatment for blood cancers was thought to be a combination of drug therapy and chemotherapy, which imposed nonoverlapping, often debilitating side effects including nausea, fatigue, depression, hair loss and infertility.

“Increasingly, we’re coming up with chemofree alternative treatments,” says Jones. “It’s really been an interesting time in leukemia and lymDr. Jeffrey Jones phoma research.”

In the last few decades, immunotherapy has become an important part of treating some types of cancer. Over the past 10 years, a class of drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors has seen great success in clinical trials addressing lung cancers and melanomas, with one lung cancer study ending a full two years early after all 107 patients experienced a plateauing of their disease.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors work by escaping notice from the immune system, thus evading a combative response from the body and gaining the ability to work from inside the immune system to trigger the attack of cancerous cells.

Until recently, options for the treatment of blood cancers did not include the highly effective immune checkpoint inhibitors.

In May, the drug Opdivo (nivolumab) was approved for the treatment of patients with relapsed Hodgkin’s disease, a cancer of the lymph system, which is part of the immune system. Opdivo is the only immuno-oncology agent to re-

ceive eight approvals in less than two years in four distinct cancer types, encompassing three solid tumors, and now, for the first time, it’s expanding to hematologic malignancies.

“It’s miraculous for patients who have relapsed after bone marrow transplants,” says Jones.

In the 1990s, after decades of trying different combinations of drug and chemotherapies, scientists began to understand the underlying genetic mechanisms causing some of these cancers. In the case of some blood cancers, the genetic rearrangement causing problematic cellular abnormalities was found to be growth proteins stuck in an “on” position.

These proteins became targets for drug therapy research.

“The birth of Gleevec really ushered in a new era of investigation in blood cancer medicine, as did the understanding that immune system modifying therapy was the other great innovation,” says Jones.

Gleevec (imatinib), a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor introduced in the U.S. in 2002, turns “off” an overactive tyrosine kinase enzyme.

It was the first example of a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration that targets an intracellular signaling molecule in cancer therapy.

When Gleevec is taken orally, the cancer can be controlled – often indefinitely. The

five-year survival rate for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients has increased from 31 percent to 89 percent since 2001.

“By themselves, many of these drugs don’t seem to be a potential cure, but patients can control their disease, some for decades, and sometimes can stop taking it for a time,” says Jones.

Jones’ enthusiasm about the promise of drugs such as Opdivo for the blood cancer community is evident.

“This is the first time one of these immune inhibitors has been approved for treatment of a blood cancer. It’s not targeting the cancer, it’s targeting the immune system,” he says. “This has been really remarkable.” CS

Columbus restaurants bring food and drink to customers from myriad origins

By Amanda DePerro

GIVEN COLUMBUS’ ROBUST DINING SCENE, it’s no surprise that every year brings

with it a litany of high-quality restaurants.

Sometimes, then, the surprise is in an eatery’s path to a sit-down dining establishment, as these nontraditional upstarts prove.

The Brew Brothers at Scioto Downs Though brewpubs have certainly increased in prominence of late, there’s definitely only one in central Ohio that’s smack in the middle of a casino.

Brew Brothers is situated in Eldorado Scioto Downs. It’s not the first such restaurant – the Brew Brothers concept was born in 1995 in Reno, Nevada, when microbreweries were just getting off the ground – but it is the first in Ohio. The original Brew Brothers came about when co-owner Gregg Carano’s father – Don Carano, founder of Eldorado Resorts Inc., which owns Scioto Downs – suggested Gregg start researching breweries.

Carano took his father’s advice, visiting San Francisco, Seattle and Portland to research breweries, and what came out of that inspiration was the Brew Brothers.

“It became the No. 1 microbrewery in the country for the amount of beer it was serving,” says Carano.

The inspiration behind the food may be from the West Coast, but the Columbus Brew Brothers is inspired by the farmland surrounding the racino.

“I asked (the architects) to give me a silo – which is a working silo,” says Carano. “I asked them to give me a barn feeling inside, and that’s when they came up with the idea of reclaimed wood inside, which is absolutely beautiful.”

Carano, his son and his wife are all graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, “and we feel it’s great to celebrate the chef,” says Carano. The menu

12

cityscenecolumbus.com | July 2016

features food brought from all over the country; wherever Carano goes, he brings the best dishes back to Brew Brothers, from roasted chicken and fries to veal meatballs to smoked brisket.

On the beer side, beyond such Brew Brothers standards as the Carano Extra kolsch and Double Down stout, there’s always a Brewmaster Special. Brewmaster Ryan Torres came from Barley’s Brewing Company in the Short North, and Carano attributes much of Brew Brothers’ success to him.

“So many people come back over and over, not only for the food, but for the hospitality and the great brews,” says Carano. “He’s brewing such great beers that I think the people of Columbus are trying this out, and making this their home.”

Mikey’s Late Night Slice Though some may believe Mikey’s Late Night Slice began life as a now-hugely popular food truck, its roots are brick and mortar: a grab-and-go, pizza-by-the-slice spot that opened in the Short North in 2009.

It’s only appropriate that Mikey’s would make its way back to brick and mortar eventually. But that brick-and-mortar location, on Fourth Street in downtown Columbus, is vastly different from the other storefronts, with sit-down service, expanded pizza options, a lengthy drink list including alcoholic slushes and oddball pop cultural artwork on the walls.

Late Night Slice opened for business when Late Night Slice’s namesake, Mikey Sorboro, couldn’t find good pizza to fill

his cravings one night. The small initial location opened in July 2009, and by November of that year, the food truck, which Sorboro had found on Craigslist, was up and running.

“Mike has got a knack for seeing things that are emerging in other cities,” says Jason Biundo, chief creative director for Mikey’s. “He found this food truck that had everything we needed – a gas version of the oven we were using, the cooler – (and) everything was set up the way we needed it.”

The benefits of starting a food truck, Biundo says, are immeasurable. He recognizes many successful restaurants that began as trucks, including Hot Chicken Takeover and DareDevil Dogs.

“There are so many people that have so many great ideas, and they can’t get the capital to open brick and mortar,” says Biundo. “If you have a great idea, if you have July 2016 | cityscenecolumbus.com

the ability and the time, you can really get something out there.”

The new Downtown location still offers pizza by the slice, but it also has a whole line-up of specialty pizzas with such off-kilter names as An Evening with Meatball (extra meatballs with parmesan cheese), the Vegetarian Covenant (onions, green peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes) and Silence of the Buffalo Chickens (buffalo chicken and ranch sauce). That’s on top of appetizers, salads (referred to as “rabbit food” and described as tasting “particularly good from up on that high horse you’re sitting on”) and absurd signature items including the Cheezus Crust, a grilled cheese sandwich with two slices of pizza as the bread, plus a full drink menu.

“We want to be the most recognizable pizza-by-the-slice food establishment in the country,” Biundo says. “We’re not done. There’s still lots to learn.”

Sweet Carrot Sweet Carrot CEO Angela Petro calls Sweet Carrot a “beautiful accident” – the result of incorporating a food truck into her preexisting catering company, Two Caterers.

For four years, Sweet Carrot was exclusively a food truck. Now, it’s evolved into a brick-and-mortar restaurant in Grandview Heights, and Petro plans to open a second location this year in Worthington.

Much of the restaurant’s menu was inspired by customers’ mad whims. For example, one dish was created when a customer asked for pork on top of mac and cheese, with sauce poured over top.

“We were like, ‘That’s genius,’” says Petro. “That’s what’s so fun about Sweet Carrot. We never took it so seriously that it couldn’t just morph on its own. ... Street food is intimately for the people, so why not let the people tell you what it is they want?”

Petro knew from the start that Sweet Carrot was never meant to be solely a food truck, and its success has only proved that fact.

“My brain is never static with any idea. I’m always thinking three or four steps ahead,” says Petro. “From day one, I knew ultimately our goal was to be brick and mortar. It was never to build a food truck empire.”

As a result, Sweet Carrot’s menu is constantly evolving. The menu might include a new customer-created dish or something 14

cityscenecolumbus.com | July 2016

Sweet Carrot

that was cooked up internally, but Petro says it grows with changing tastes.

The menu’s main direction is protein (pulled pork, chicken meatballs, fried artichokes, etc.) served on a chosen dish (corn cake, sandwich, salad, mac and cheese) or by itself. Soups, cookies and fried mac and cheese balls fill out the rest.

“We listen to our customers, and they tell us we can still be doing things better,” says Petro. “If I’ve learned anything about all my years of catering, it’s that everybody’s tastes are changing, and we have to listen to our customers.” CS Amanda DePerro is an assistant editor.

Outdoor Living

Latest trends reflect the desire to bring the indoors ... out!

More Outdoor Kitchens | You’ve Been Scene! | Available Homes

O

nce upon a time, outdoor living consisted of a patio, some folding chairs and a grill.

Fast forward to 2016 and it’s a whole new story.

Today’s homeowners are giving this valuable outdoor real estate the attention it deserves by creating fully equipped outdoor living spaces that incorporate all the comforts of the indoors and recreating them outside so they can be enjoyed nearly all year ‘round.

Take a look at online sources such as Houzz and Pinterest and you’ll see thousands of interpretations of what outdoor living is all about. Outdoor living is about you and what you want to do there.

A Customized ‘Outdoor Living Room’

Today’s outdoor living rooms can, and do, mimic the look of their indoor counterparts.

So, of course, no outdoor living room would be complete without comfortable furniture, colorful cushions and pillows, area rugs ... and don’t forget lighting. All weatherproof, of course.

While that’s a great start, savvy homeowners don’t and won’t stop there. They want to customize their outdoor living/ playing/relaxing/entertaining space with the things they love: a cozy stone fireplace,

Home is Where the Why not take some of the comforts you typically enjoy inside and recreate them in your own back yard?

a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, an automated sound system controlled by smart phone – all the creature comforts that can transform their space into a true extension of their home.

“If a client can dream it, we can create it,” says Becky Webb, president of Bob Webb Homes.

You can see a beautiful example of a Bob Webb customized outdoor living room at the BIA 2016 Parade of Homes Sept.

3-18 at Verona in Powell. Details at www.bobwebb.com.

The Rise of the Outdoor Kitchen

Outdoor kitchens now rival the scope and scale of evolving kitchen trends thanks to professional appliances, multiple cooking surfaces, ample countertop and prep spaces, not to mention built-in grills and smokers with all the bells and whistles.

When creating your own outdoor kitchen, you might consider a wine unit, a cooling fridge or, possibly, a pizza oven that does more than just cook pizza. You might want to build in cabinet space, a sink or a stove – things that save trips in and out of the house when cooking or entertaining.

curling up by a crackling fire, it’s life as you like it, not to mention increased value for your home.

A recent Houzz study indicates homeowners are increasing their investment in entertaining spaces, outdoor eating spaces and outdoor living rooms as the popularity of customized outdoor living spaces continues to rise.

“Today, people are invested in their homes more than ever,” Webb says.

“They want to enjoy every moment they have to relax, entertain and enjoy their homes. By creating a custom space that lets them relax, cook, entertain and do whatever they want to do there, we’re able to give them a truly customized extension of their living space. And who wouldn’t love that?” v

“If a client can dream it, we can create it.”

Trends

Cooking with Grass Outdoor kitchens offer perfect marriage between serving and socializing

By Amanda DePerro

A

s much as many of us would like it to be, central Ohio isn’t exactly what you’d call “tropical.”

If we’re lucky, we get about three months of warm, sunny weather before the leaves start to turn and we retreat back indoors. So why not try to enjoy those few months in the best way possible – outside?

Outdoor kitchens give homeowners that opportunity. With an outdoor kitchen, hosts never again need to leave the party to cook and serve, and the endless backand-forth between the kitchen and guests outside is eliminated. Everything is cooked and served on the patio, and guests need only walk a few steps to grab dinner.

Small-scale outdoor kitchens, often limited to a built-in grill and island, still have some popularity. But many homeowners are gravitating toward the full-scale outdoor kitchen: overhead cover with ceiling fans, dining area and grill attached to the home gas line.

Aesthetics and functionality often compete for the homeowner’s top priority.

“Sometimes, the client doesn’t really mind about functionality and wants something that looks really, really nice as far as

layout and details,” says Marc Aubry, landscape designer at GreenScapes Landscape Company. “We’ve done others where the kitchen is the deal and they want that to be the centerpiece.”

The outdoor kitchen trend has only recently begun to take hold, so, without as much opportunity for comparison, a lot of people are just testing the waters, says Courtney Burnett, interior design manager for Dave Fox Design Build Remodelers.

“I’ve noticed we’ve been doing more fireplaces outdoors – not just fire pits – and I see those being incorporated in those sort of kitchen zones,” says Burnett. “It’s a whole entertainment area, so you’ve got cooking, sitting space, comfy furniture, even dining tables near. … (It) can kind of extend the season.”

Both Aubry and Burnett agree that the most popular countertop for outdoor kitchens is granite.

Not only is granite safe to use outdoors, it has the potential for many different colors and patterns. Granite also lasts longer than other countertops and is typically installed in one large piece, meaning the countertop A covered indoor kitchen enables the homeowners to enjoy their outdoor kitchen more days out of the year and itself is seamless.

has been opening up opportunities to use Dekton, a material developed by Spanish surface company Cosentino that Burnett describes as a mix between quartz and porcelain tile. Dekton is like granite in that it is safe to use outside and is installed as a sheet, but it can be built to mimic different materials: stone, marble, even wood. This makes it versatile, as the wear and tear of the outdoors prevents the use of surfaces like quartz, which is sensitive to sunlight.

Though Dave Fox hasn’t yet used Dekton in an outdoor kitchen, Burnett expects the material to become widely used as the outdoor kitchen market surges.

“I think it’d be great to use, and I’d love to use it in our next outdoor kitchen,” says Burnett. “Sometimes you have limestone, bluestone, stucco or brick, (but) the granite kind of naturally lends itself to those environments, so I think it’ll stay pretty strong, too.” www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Naturally, a main feature of many outdoor kitchens is the bar. Basement bars are still quite popular, as they lend themselves to the winter months, but having a bar outside as supplement to the outdoor kitchen can take those summertime parties the extra mile.

The bar doesn’t have to simply be an island with shelving, either; GreenScapes integrates sinks, drawers, doors and trash cans into its bars to complete the experience.

“It’s truly an outdoor kitchen; it’s not just a grill with a small side table to put stuff in,” says Aubry. “We’ve done a few where they had a bar integrated, so people have been cooking on one side and a bar on the other side.”

Aubry and Burnett have seen overwhelmingly positive reactions to the outdoor kitchen projects they’ve put together.

“We try to get things ready for the graduation party, and when they get to that point, it’s exciting, because they can finally get outside and enjoy it,” says Burnett. “I think it’s sort of the whipped cream on top for those customers.” v

A Del-ightful Diversion Second-smallest state in the nation offers big opportunities for entertainment THERE ARE PLENTY OF GETAWAYS ON THE EAST COAST, from Virginia Beach to Cape

the Palace of Versailles without actually requiring a trek to France. The chateau, located in Wilmington, has five floors and 77 rooms, and has the largest jardin à la française in North America.

History

Old Swedes (Holy Trinity) Church Holy Trinity Church, located in Wilmington, is thought to be America’s oldest church that is still used for worship. The church was constructed in 1698, and is near Delaware Valley, where the first Swedish settlers landed. Old Swedes Foundation offers both walkin and group tours.

Cod. But the state of Delaware, tucked between New Jersey and Maryland and about a seven-and-a-half hour drive from Columbus, is a bit of a hidden treasure.

So, pack your bags – leaving room for all that tax-free shopping – and start driving toward the Diamond State.

Delaware was the first of America’s 13 colonies to ratify the U.S. Constitution, but its history goes back much further. In 1630s, it was the first European colony established by Swedish settlers. If you’re a history buff, look no further than the state’s various historic homes and museums.

DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum This shipwreck museum, located on Fenwick Island, holds more than 10,000 artifacts from shipwrecks all over the world. Eighty percent of its other artifacts are rotated at exhibits throughout the country.

The museum’s exhibits center on the culture of the settlers and others who have lived along the coast, featuring lighthouses and shipwreck artifacts.

Beaches and Recreation A trip to the East Coast isn’t complete without a stop at the beach. Delaware may not have a very long coastline, but the quality of its beaches more than makes up for it.

Rehoboth Beach Frequently ranked one of the top beaches in the nation, Rehoboth Beach is not one to miss. The city, which carries the beach’s name, is also the most visited city in the state. The mile-long boardwalk boasts numerous boutiques and restaurants – the perfect spot to enjoy that tax-free shopping.

Bethany Beach Bethany Beach may be tiny, but it still has plenty of recreational options, including parasailing, jet skiing and scuba diving. Go during the summer months (June 11 through Aug. 27), and you can join in on one of the bonfires, with marshmallows and other snacks on a first-come, first-served basis. On Mondays (June 15 through Aug. 31), you can catch a movie on the beach off Garfield Parkway.

Fenwick Island Fenwick Island, just north of Ocean City, Md., is an ideal destination for any family. Not only can you find putt-putt golf, kayaking and the Viking Amusements and Thunder Lagoon Waterpark, you can also pay a visit to the 344-acre Fenwick Island State Park.

Food and Drink

Delaware Fun Facts • Delaware is the 49th largest state in the nation, with just over 1,980 square miles. It’s about 96 miles long and, in some spots, only 9 miles wide.

• The Fenwick Island Lighthouse was painted in 1880 for only $5.

• New Castle County, the smallest of Delaware’s three counties in terms of land, holds the state’s largest population.

• In every Delaware state park, you’ll find a disc golf course.

As it is a coastal state, it’s no surprise Delaware has a dining scene largely influenced by the sea.

Feby’s Fishery This Wilmington restaurant has been a staple for 40 years. Not only is Feby’s Fishery a restaurant, it’s also a fish market – so you can sit down and enjoy your meal, or buy your own ingredients for a homemade dinner. Its menu features items such as Maryland-style crab cakes and lobster and shrimp ravioli.

Sambo’s Tavern Sambo’s Tavern, which overlooks the Leipsic River, is known for having the best steamed crabs and crab cakes in the region – all in a rustic pub setting.

From Shrub to Brush Topiary Park sculptor James Mason starts to explore the world of painting

By Jaya Pillai

ANYONE WHO’S BEEN TO THE TOPIARY PARK in downtown Columbus knows the titular topiaries are based on a work by French painter Georges Seurat.

Seurat, of course, is long dead. But the man who transformed his A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte into the verdant vision that has stood since 1992 is still working today.

And that one-of-a-kind landscape of a painting of a landscape is just one small part of the body of work created by acclaimed artist James Mason.

Mason has made his name as a sculptor with a variety of media, from topiaries to bronze figures to woodcarving. He’s also been teaching and working out of a studio at the Cultural Arts Center for nearly half a century. Now, at the age of 79, the world-renowned artist is reinventing himself.

“Right now as far as painting, I’m a figurative artist. I’ve just been doing that and developing a unique style. I went back to school and took a lot of life drawing classes to get back into it,” Mason says. “It was just picking up where I left off.”

Mason didn’t start out to be an artist. Born in Columbus in 1937 to a middleclass family, he describes his childhood as “pretty mundane” – except for his mother, that is.

“When I was a kid, 8 years old, she used to drag me down to the Columbus Museum of Art and make me look at George Bellows paintings,” he says. “My biggest influence was my mother. She was very old world.”

Even so, Mason was doubtful that he could turn his love for art into a career, enrolling in the engineering department at The Ohio State University.

38

cityscenecolumbus.com | July 2016

“I majored in engineering because everyone said, ‘Don’t be an artist,’” he says.

But after taking a sculpture course as an elective, Mason realized art was his calling, and transferred to the Columbus College of Art and Design to major in fine arts. He got a job in advertising and also began frequenting the Cultural Arts Center.

“I went over there a lot because they had painting and drawing, but no sculptures. I talked to the director about getting a sculpture class, and that was my first job as an artist,” he says. “That was a dream job for an artist, because you just ran a studio there and the public came. People from all over the country would come and see how we had the institution set up.”

Mason worked in his studio in the Cultural Arts Center from 1967 to 2015. Now, in his barn studio in Lancaster, he can focus on his new role as a painter.

“I’m tired of lugging 200-pound rocks around,” he says. “The nice thing about watercolors is you can carry your entire portfolio under your arm. There’s also the excitement of a new art form. That’s what keeps you young. If I didn’t do that, I’d be sitting in a rocking chair.”

Though Mason has been working in a different medium, he remains true to his philosophy.

“I love to do the figure. In my own aesthetic, my own philosophy, I like to do artwork that reflects life in general, the life we live,” he says. “It’s an old shoe, but it’s still true. It’s still basically why we do

art. I’ve done pure abstraction before, but for me, it didn’t quite fulfill what I really wanted to express.”

Mason is ambivalent about explicitly defining the purpose of his art – or any art, for that matter.

“Ultimately, I think the human race gravitates toward pure beauty. I think human beings are hard-wired for it,” he says. “I can’t prove it, but these cavemen did these beautiful paintings way down deep in the caves.

Why did they do that? Nobody really knows; they just did it. It’s all kind of a mystery, and as far as I’m concerned, it should stay a mystery. You don’t need to understand.”

Though the Topiary Park – for which he created the structural frames in 1988, four years before his vision would come to fruition – is Mason’s most recognizable work, it’s not the only place it can be found. He is also represented by Hammond Harkins Galleries in the Short North and has several pieces on display there.

While his latest sculptures have been sold, Mason isn’t slowing down any time soon.

“I want to drop dead at the easel,” he says.

“That’s the way to go if you’re an artist.” CS Jaya Pillai is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

The Fabric of America Legendary Hollywood designer Edith Head’s work returns to the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio

By Hailey Stangebye

as Randall Thropp weaves between dress forms laden with priceless gowns.

Thropp, the costume and prop archivist for Paramount Pictures, and his colleagues are preparing for a historic exhibition unlike any other.

Edith Head and Company, now on display, showcases the work of famed Paramount designer Edith Head. The exhibition runs through Aug. 14.

“This is the first time I’ve mounted this particular exhibit,” says Thropp, the curator.

“It’s showcasing, in bits and pieces, people who came before Edith Head at Paramount and trained her, then people who worked with her at the time that she was at Paramount, then people who have come after and were inspired or influenced by what had come before.”

Head’s work has an enormous following. She holds the record for the longest career of any woman in Hollywood and she was nominated for 35 Oscars, winning eight of them, says Thropp. Those not directly familiar with her work may at least be familiar with her appearance and demeanor, which were the basis for superhero costume designer Edna Mode in 2004 Pixar film The Incredibles.

“She was the first woman in Hollywood to brand herself, and that was something women did not do,” says Thropp.

In 2014, the Decorative Arts Center showcased an Edith Head exhibit, and it drew a record-breaking 11,267 visitors, says Carol Abbott, a member of the museum exhibition installation team.

This year’s exhibition has all new pieces. Moreover, it’s the debut for an interactive system of iPads that allow viewers to see the costumes in action.

“I thought, wouldn’t it be great if we could see these costumes in the movies they were actually in?” says Abbott. “Some of them go through acrobatics or mud puddles, and you would never know that if you couldn’t see the movie clip.”

Included in this exhibition are incredibly rare pieces, some of which have never been displayed publicly before.

“We have probably one of the most unique pieces in the (Paramount) collection, and it’s never been displayed before.

Ever,” says Thropp. “From 1929, it’s Jeanette MacDonald’s wedding train from a film called The Love Parade.”

“It’s 21 feet of bling,” adds Barbara Hunzicker, exhibition chairwoman. “I don’t care how much money you have. I think you’d have a very hard time finding things so beautifully made of such exquisite fabrics. Everything is just the very best.”

Edith Head and Company showcases a genuine piece of Americana, Thropp says.

“They are pieces of American history,” says Thropp. “Entertainment history, yes, but they’re part of the fiber of America.” CS

To create the art of Nina West, Andrew knows that he sometimes needs to pull back and get exposure to different mediums and artists. He knows that Columbus fosters growth, and provides opportunity for collaboration and conversation. He loves creating Nina in a city that encourages and celebrates all art—regardless of medium. There’s no place he’d rather make his art.

CRITIQUE With Michael McEwan

The Painter’s Eye

Featuring Incense of a New Church by Charles Demuth

TWIN BROTHERS JIM AND TIM KENY founded Columbus’ oldest fine art gallery, the Keny Galleries, in 1980.

Dealers have the passion of collectors themselves. Jim, in selecting Charles Demuth’s Incense for a Modern Church (1921, oil on canvas, 26” by 20”), lauds the Columbus Museum of Art for leading the world in its collection of American Modernist artists, who were active from 1900 to the 1940s. This painting is one of the most significant works for Demuth (1883-1935).

The heart of the collection comes from Ferdinand Howald (1856-1934). Howald was a Columbus businessman who was able to retire in 1906 and began collecting art, often traveling between New York and Paris.

In 1916, at age 60, Howald began to collect in earnest, and he continued right up to his death in 1934. Eventually, his unprecedented collection included important groups of works by Demuth, Preston Dickinson, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Man Ray and Charles Sheeler. It also represented the work of Arthur Dove and other artists from the Alfred Stieglitz circle, William Glackens and George Luks of The Eight, independent modernists such as Samuel Halpert and William Zorach, and progressive realists, including Charles Burchfield, Rockwell Kent and Raphael Soyer.

“Howald collected contemporary artists who now are regarded as masters, and it was through his relationship with Columbus artist – and next door neighbor, in fact – Alice Schille that connections may have been made with such artists both here and abroad,” Jim says. “Just as Mary Cassatt advised the Havermeyers, whose collection would become one the highlights of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, and James Abbott McNeil Whistler’s relationship with Charles Lang Freer led to the Freer Gallery of Art on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Howald’s collection and generous donation of funds helped the Columbus Museum of Art come to life.”

Rural America: Town and Country and The Paintings of Alan Gough and Willard Reader are on exhibit at Keny Galleries through July 30. CS
