BUT FOR OHIO STATE, MY OFFICIATING DAYS WOULD BE OVER. Nothing makes Ed feel more alive than officiating high school sports. But he almost had to hang up his jersey for good because of a painful ACL injury.

He went to see the sports medicine doctors at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, the team physicians for the Buckeyes. Ed trusted their expertise to perform the ACL surgery that got him back out on the court. “I can do a 360° pivot now without pain!” Hear more of Ed’s story at osu.edu/butforohiostate.

New technology and old standards are part of Herbie Hancock’s show

By Eric Lagatta

“I

haven’t heard anybody yet who has come after him.”

Those are words from jazz trumpeter Miles Davis’ autobiography describing his longtime partner and musical collaborator, Herbie Hancock.

And though the book was published in 1990, roughly a year before Davis’ death, the words seem to ring true even 23 years later.

Fifty years and 40 studio albums since his first solo effort, Hancock – the jazz pianist, keyboard player, bandleader, composer and Buddhist – isn’t done yet.

The 73-year-old has played gigs in South America, California and New York in a two-month tour that began Aug. 3 and culminates in his home city of Chicago on Oct. 11. Before his homecoming, Hancock will also make a stop in New Albany at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts on Oct. 8.

Hancock started his music career in jazz, but he has reached beyond jazz to genres such as funk, blues and even classical. His show at the McCoy Center will lead the audience through all the periods of his work, from the oldest songs to the newest.

“Because my music has covered a pretty wide area, a mixture of genres … I’m going to try to do a little bit of this and a little bit of that,” Hancock says.

The audience at the 750-seat Schottenstein Theatre in the McCoy Center 6

cityscene • September/October 2013

can expect older jazz standards such as “Cantaloupe Island” and “Watermelon Man,” as well as Hancock’s later hits such as electronic-tinged 1980s smash “Rockit.” Never one to stay stagnant, Hancock is giving the songs new arrangements or, as he says, “a new twist using new technologies.”

The new advancements incorporate iPads, which Hancock integrated into his live shows about a year ago to manipulate sounds and access music programs. Technology like this may come in handy for performances of songs such as “Rockit,” which was one of the first popular songs to incorporate turntabling techniques and record scratching.

But to Hancock, the show isn’t about the technology; it’s about connecting with the audience.

“What I’m actually doing on stage is communicating to them through this language,” Hancock says, “that I’m real at this moment and have the courage to be vulnerable.”

Accompanying Hancock will be guitarist Lionel Loueke, bassist James Genus and drummer Vincent Colaiuta.

“It’s just a great band that has been working on and off with me for several years,” Hancock says.

A look at Hancock’s successes helps explain the words Davis chose in his autobiography. Now the creative chair for jazz at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the institute chair at the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, Hancock has won 14 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, making him one of a handful of jazz artists with that accomplishment. He was also the first jazz artist to have an album go platinum. He’s even won an Oscar.

These things aren’t important to Hancock, though.

“Usually by the time it goes platinum, I’m on to another project,” he says. “I don’t dwell on that. I don’t sit there going, ‘Wow, look at what I did.’”

“I got stuff to do,” he adds, laughing.

That “stuff” has spanned five decades.

Hancock began his career with his 1963 solo album Takin’ Off. Shortly after that, he joined the Miles Davis Quintet. Hancock started his own band in 1973 called the Headhunters; the group’s self-titled debut was the aforementioned first jazz album to go platinum. In 1983, he collaborated with Bill Laswell on the platinum Future Shock, featuring the single “Rockit,” known as www.cityscenecolumbus.com

an

www.cityscenecolumbus.com

and in 2011 he was designated an honorary UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, becoming part of a group of celebrity advocates for intercultural dialogue.

It’s hard to say what Hancock will do next or where he will go, but one thing’s for certain: After more than 50 years of music, he won’t be stopping anytime soon.

“It’s a bottomless well of creativity and cultural development that is connected to my heart and my life,” he says. “I enjoy making people feel something, I enjoy encouraging people, making them even ponder questions, perhaps thinking another way about things.”

“This is a great joy for me,” he adds. cs Eric Lagatta is a contributing writer.

much for its quality musicianship as for its music video loaded with dancing robots.

2007’s River: The Joni Letters – a tribute to Hancock’s longtime friend Joni Mitchell and a collaboration with artists including Tina Turner, Leonard Cohen and Mitchell herself – received the Grammy for Album of the Year. Other co-collaborators throughout Hancock’s career include Sting, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana and Paul Simon.

He’s also made forays into film, composing the score for the 1996 film Blowup and the 1986 film ’Round Midnight, which won him an Oscar for best original score.

Even though his expansive body of work would attest otherwise, Hancock doesn’t just focus on his music. Much of his inspiration comes from his Buddhist faith, which he has been practicing for 40 years.

“I concentrate more on how I can grow, not only as a musician, but as a human being,” he says. “That makes for a larger palette from which to grow my music.”

Indeed, his 2010 effort, The Imagine Project – featuring musicians such as Jeff Beck, Seal and Pink – tackled the themes of peace and global responsibility.

Buddhism has influenced not only his music, but also his world view. Through numerous organizations, Hancock has been an advocate for world peace, good will and global understanding.

Hancock is the founder of the International Committee of Artists for Peace,

Fabulous Foliage Search out the best places to see fall color around Ohio

By Hayley Ross

A

s September rolls in, the leaves begin to paint Ohio with beautiful shades of red, yellow and orange.

What better way to get out and enjoy the cool autumn air and get a glimpse of Ohio’s beauty than by taking a tour of its fall foliage?

Rose Lake in Hocking Hills

Holmes County (Amish Country) Due to its rural location, Holmes County is covered with foliage. Operators are available to give custom tours, but visitors can see an array of different colors and tree species just by driving down the highway.

“Anyone who visits is sure to stumble upon cool little shops and Amish farmers selling their goods or working in the fields,” says Shasta Mast, executive director of the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce.

The peak of the leaves is usually around the second week in October, depending on the weather, Mast says.

Hocking Hills The dramatic landscapes and colors of southeastern Ohio’s Hocking Hills make it one of Ohio’s most popular sites for tourists during the fall.

The density of the forest, colorful leaves of the deciduous hardwoods and rolling landscape all factor into the striking nature of the foliage, says Karen Raymore, executive director for the Hocking Hills Tourism Association. The colors usually peak mid-October.

Conkle’s Hollow in Hocking Hills

“Because we had a damp summer, we expect the leaves to be especially vibrant this year,” Raymore says.

Most of the fall color tours are self-guided, but visitors are provided with maps of back roads, local art galleries, shops and farmers’ markets.

Greene County Greene County contains several choice spots for visitors looking for beautiful fall colors, including John Bryan State Park and Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve.

Clifton Gorge is home to many different plants and animal species, and the scenic rivers and rolling hills make John Bryan State Park a perfect destination for hiking and nature walks, says Larry Hensel, communications specialist for the Greene County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“The colors vary depending on the season, but the leaves are gorgeous shortly after the first frost,” Hensel says.

Greater Licking County Licking County is home to a variety of locations to see the colors of fall, especially the Dawes Arboretum, Blackhand Gorge, Flint Ridge and the Newark Earthworks.

Fall foliage is also easy to spot while riding down the 38 miles of bike paths in Licking County.

“Foliage east of Columbus generally has more vibrant colors due to the weather being slightly cooler,” says Ron Bower, marketing and sales manager for the Greater Licking County Visitors Bureau. cs Hayley Ross is a contributing writer. Feedback welcome at gbishop@cityscenemediagroup.com.

Tasty Treatment OSU researchers seek cancer cure, bite by bite

By Lisa Aurand

nstead of chemotherapy or radiation, imagine drinking a can of juice each morning to treat prostate cancer or nursing on a candy for tongue or throat cancer.

Food could be the new cancer treatment. Food scientists, plant geneticists and doctors at The Ohio State University have been working together to create plants – and foods made from these plants – that have anti-cancer properties.

Plants have dozens of phytochemicals. research because it is one of the few uniSome are “chemical warfare” they use to versities in the country to have an extenprotect themselves from harm, some help sive agriculture program, school of public them reproduce and pollinate, and some health and comprehensive cancer center make them colorful, says Dr. Steve Clin- under one roof, Clinton says.

has other things in it than soy and tomato … that have anti-cancer properties, such as cruciferous vegetables.”

Another study applied research on the antioxidants found in black raspberries and their effect on oral cancers.

“We know, from studies, that black raspberries have anti-cancer properties in those systems, so how do we get the best delivery of black raspberries to the targets in the mouth?” Clinton says. “You want to have a lot of interaction between that and the oral mucosa.”

To that end, the team developed a black raspberry gummy candy and a black raspberry juice, and is hoping to study both in clinical trials with oral cancer patients.

The research at Ohio State is being funded in part by Growing the Cure, an initiative formed by five Ohio and Indiana farming cooperatives. The program kicked off about a year ago with a donation of more than $103,000 to the James and continues to raise funds for the cause via individual farmers, who are offered the chance to donate each time they buy supplies through the co-op. Growing the Cure will present the university with a check for its first-year fundraising total in September.

Though a food-based cure for cancer is still a dream for the future, current cancer patients can avail themselves of the latest research on dietary links to good health via the Survivors Garden, a two-acre farm on Ohio State’s agriculture campus that is now in its second year. Cancer patients, survivors and their families can tend the garden, harvest fruits and vegetables, and learn from chefs and dietitians how to cook them. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

Above: The JamesCare for Life Garden of Hope. Left: Cancer survivor Laurel Page works in the garden.

“We have several teaching sessions that include anti-cancer dietary guidelines and how to prepare the foods to fit into that,” Clinton says.

“A lot of folks who have just gone through a very intense experience of cancer therapy … are looking for ways to empower themselves to be healthier and maybe to ward off any chance of recurrence, to see what (they) can do with food and nutrition … to get control of the situation and recover from treatment and live a healthier life free of cancer.”

Clinton himself is taking his in-depth knowledge of food’s healthful properties to the national level as a member of the committee that is working on the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans to be released in 2015. The guidelines influence meals at all levels, including school lunches and meals in hospitals and nursing homes. cs Lisa Aurand is a contributing editor.

Fall in Thrall

The end of summer doesn’t mean the end of festivals

By David Allen

T

hough the daylight is shortening and the kids are back in school, there’s still time to enjoy Ohio festivals before winter sets in.

Around Ohio Poppin’ Fresh This year’s Marion Popcorn Festival, Sept. 5-7, has an extra “pop” to it with a music line-up featuring the Village People and Jo Dee Messina. This is the largest popcorn festival in the world, attracting crowds

of more than 250,000 people to take part in festival fun and such associated activities as a charity 5K and a golf outing.

Big Twists The pretzel is among Germany’s contributions to global cuisine, so it’s only fitting that pretzels be the theme of Germantown’s annual festival. The 34-year-old Germantown Pretzel Festival, set for Sept.

28-29, also features palate cleansers such as unique crafts and live entertainment.

Sweet and Sauer The Ohio Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville hosts more 450 vendors, with products ranging from sauerkraut pizza to sauerkraut fudge. The 43-yearold festival is a Midwest staple and will be hosted Oct. 12-13.

For the Love of Pumpkins The annual Circleville Pumpkin Show will showcase multiple pumpkin contests, arts and crafts, a flower show, live concerts, amusement rides and more for all ages from Oct. 16-19. And that’s not to mention the food; vendors find ways to incorporate pumpkin into all sorts of recipes, from cream puffs and milkshakes to pizza and sloppy joes.

Around Columbus Feel the Heat The Hot Times Community Music and Arts Festival brings its usual flair and flash back to Main Street and Parsons Avenue, just east of downtown Columbus, Sept. 6-8.

Visual performers, nationally and locally known musicians and the largest gathering of art cars in central Ohio will be showcased.

Just Talkin’ ’Bout Craft More than 150 vendors will converge on Uptown Marysville for the Festifair Arts & Crafts Festival, slated for Sept. 7.

Uptown streets will close for the 33rd annual festival, which also features a variety of food vendors.

Fall Fair The 163-year-old Fairfield County Fair brings two country music stars, Casey James and the Henningsens, to kick off Ohio’s last county fair of the year, set for Oct. 6-12. In addition to the concerts, there are truck pulls and rodeos at the county fairgrounds in Lancaster.

Fall in Love with Fall Whether it’s arts and crafts shows, storytelling, pumpkin painting, folk music or local nourishment, there’s something for almost any audience at the Worthington Fall Festival on Oct. 12. The eighth annual festival will be held on the Worthington Village Green. cs David Allen is a contributing writer.

materials, such as windows, are always included, especially in upscale homes.

Design is another factor. Window placement designed to maximize natural light and room placement and sizes designed to account for the buyer’s living needs or desires both factor into energy costs.

With energy efficiency frequently part of the custom home package, other considerations rise to the top of the preference list, and for Truberry, neighborhood is still No. 1, Steiner says. It’s followed by garage size and basement walkout possibilities.

After those come living spaces, such as placement of the master bedroom and determination of the number of bedrooms and walk-in closets. Then there’s consideration of other rooms and uses.

“In the family market, we are seeing a trend back to the two-story homes with second-floor masters,” Steiner says.

seen a preference for first-floor masters among buyers, often for use as in-law suites for aging parents.

“It may be (the owners’) 20 years from now,” Taylor says.

Heated tubs and showers in master suites are popular, Taylor says, and he sometimes suggests large two-person showers and space reserved for a tub with plumbing roughed in, but used for seating or a cosmetics counter.

Another popular feature: Eat-in kitchens that are slightly more elegant.

“Granite is everywhere, (but) crushed quartz is just coming on,” Steiner says. “It is about the same price, but it never needs to be sealed and doesn’t stain.”

Multi-level cabinets are also gaining popularity in all residential prices and types, she says.

While eat-in kitchens gain ground in new designs, dining rooms are losing ground. That space is used to better incorporate the kitchen into large rooms where most living is done, Taylor says.

Steiner sees significant demand for secondary gathering areas, such as lofts or bonus rooms above garages.

She is finding less desire for volume and for two-story great room ceilings, with preference trending to 9- and 10foot, flat ceilings. Also gaining the eyes of buyers is a new ceiling finish called Bark. It’s a variation on the once-popular stipple effect, which left a rough, pointed surface after a soft finish was tamped and dried. Now, the same finish is applied, but bark patterns are pressed into it, resulting in a much smoother, patterned finish to be painted. www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

Luxury Living Space once designated for a dining or living room is now being used for a den or office instead, and tastes in offices are evolving. The prototypical office with dark paneling and copious shelves is losing favor, Taylor says, as users find themselves with fewer books and smaller computers.

He has designed office space behind folding doors in a family room that can be opened as the desk is needed.

Another design includes a small office as part of, but somewhat separate from, the main part of a second-floor bedroom. And an office can be inserted in a niche as part of a large, open room, he says. “(Offices) are becoming a room that is worked in almost every day, but now, the kids do their computer work on a laptop or an iPad everywhere and anywhere in the house, not just the office,” Steiner says.

Laundry rooms also continue to get larger, Steiner says, while mudrooms – often with clothing storage and charging stations for cell phones and other portable electronic devices – are almost standard.

Home offices are also being incorporated into upstairs areas, such as this one at the top of a skylight tower.

In outdoor areas, open-air roofed spaces – not necessarily screened – with real furniture and TVs are emerging, Steiner says.

Those outdoor TVs are often flat-screens, and buyers are forever finding new ways to incorporate flat-screens into rooms; kitchens, bathrooms and porches are joining traditional spots such as family rooms and master bedrooms in TV preferences.

Detailed concrete driveways, some with paver edges, make up another outdoor trend, as do ever-fancier garage door designs. v Duane St. Clair is a contributing editor.

Stage Advice There’s an art and a science to getting a home ready to sell

By Duane St. Clair Before

I

n the residential real estate market, “clutter” is a dirty word – and like many dirty words, it’s heard all too frequently.

Clutter in a home is in the eye of the beholder. Visitors and, more importantly, potential buyers usually see it. But the homeowners – who create and live with furnishings, decorations, artifacts that resulted in 15 showings and other items in highly visible the first day and a quick sale.

“You’d be surprised what places – may be less apt to notice. you can do with things you

That usually means staging, an allencompassing term that means using independent eyes to get rid of excess items, ranging from furniture to family photos, and sometimes redecorating. It’s all done either by a discerning owner or, often, with advice from a real estate agent or a person trained to put a home on stage, so to speak.

“The reason for staging is to put the focus on the great features you have,” such as wood floor and granite counters, says Stella Pseekos, owner of Dublin-based Styled to Sell. “Clutter gets in the way of what you’re trying to get the buyer to buy.”

A potential buyer can immediately identify a room he or she might envision living in someday, says Nancy Edwards, co-owner with Linda Ayers of Clintonville-area First Impression Home Stagers.

“It takes just 15 seconds to create a good first impression,” Edwards says.

Edwards and Ayers tell of helping an owner stage a 1920s-built home in Upper Arlington by having wallpaper removed in one room, improving some lighting, hiring a professional cleaning crew and rearranging and removing some furniture, steps www.luxurylivingmagazine.com

have,” Edwards says, by repurposing or restaging.

First Impression sometimes spices up rooms by adding colorful pillows or, as in a recent case, strategically placing some knick-knacks in a kitchen that surprisingly had none, Ayers says.

Most stagers have a supply of furniture or decorative pieces available for temporary use; others arrange to rent what’s desired.

It’s important to depersonalize when trying to sell, says Maria Bonaventura, owner of Westerville-based StageOrganizeStyle.

“Everybody has too much stuff,” Bonaventura says. “A lot of it goes offproperty” when staging based on a list of suggested changes she prepares.

Fresh paint can add to the flair. Art and other decorative items are some of Bonaventura’s favorite extra touches.

“Buyers buy on emotions,” she says. “If the home is disorganized, it detracts.”

In today’s market, buyers are less inclined to give top dollar for a home that needs decorating or some fix-up work, says Bonaventura.

Kelly Cantwell of Street Sotheby's International Realty transformed this living room to sell by, among other things, neutralizing paint colors, removing bulky window coverings and adding a mirror over the fireplace.

“Buyers are more critiBefore cal. They want it more turnkey,” she says.

Most stagers have similar approaches. Usually, it involves a visit to a home and a room-byroom tour to compile a list of suggestions for the owner to get ready for a sale. Stagers’ fees are based on the services they provide, ranging from suggestions for additions and subtractions to arranging for work to be done to lining up storage and moving unneeded After items, and cannot be determined without a visit to the house.

“There might be a room full of antiques that’s not going to sell (the house),” says Pseekos. “It needs to look modern. Today’s younger buyers don’t want a house that’s going to look like their grandmother’s.”

Bonaventura also helps owners style their homes to make them look more comfortable.

Stonebridge Crossing Patio home living convenient to Upper Arlington and Dublin

B

ob Webb is excited about his newest patio home community at Stonebridge Crossing, conveniently located off Hayden Run Road. The location is ideal and the new floor plans developed for Stonebridge are exceptional.

Bob Webb jumped at the chance to create a patio home neighborhood to serve an established area that doesn’t see many new construction opportunities. For those considering downsizing, or seeking low-maintenance living without sacrificing upscale finishes and custom designs, this development is truly a rare find.

The setting is surrounded by trees and a ravine, and the community offers all of the conveniences of patio living, including snow removal and lawn care.

The development consists of 47 home sites, some with walkout basement design capabilities. Several customizable floor plans range from 2,200 to 4,100 square feet and include first-floor master suites, finished basements and two- and three-car garages. Prices are from the low $400,000s.

Stonebridge Crossing has several homes in various stages of completion, and a furnished model is open Saturday through Wednesday. For additional information, contact the sales office at 614-876-5577 or visit www. bobwebb.com. v

Massive Pittsburgh exhibition highlights artists from around the world

By Lauren Hutchison

A

fter a five-year layoff, the Carnegie International exhibition of contemporary art is back and bigger than ever in Pittsburgh.

The exhibition is more than a century old, having started in 1896. Pittsburgh holds another one every three to five years.

This year’s exhibition – which opens Oct. 15 and runs through March 16, 2014 – promises to take over every room in the city’s sprawling Carnegie Museum of Art. The Carnegie International features works by 35 artists from 19 countries.

It plays an important role in showing how Pittsburgh has been rebuilt, remade and revitalized, says Connie George, vice president of communications for the Greater Pittsburgh Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“This exhibit, much more than anything else, puts Pittsburgh in the international contemporary arts spotlight,” George says. www.cityscenecolumbus.com

The exhibition follows Andrew Carnegie’s founding idea: to discover and bring the “old masters of tomorrow” into the permanent collection at the Carnegie Museum of Art. It is the only international contemporary art exhibition that builds a museum’s permanent collection.

Co-curators Dan Byers, Daniel Baumann and Tina Kukielski traveled around the world to select the new “old masters” – their first collaboration together.

“Miraculously, it’s been a lot of fun,” Kukielski says. “Now our conversations unfold as easily over the conference table as they do over a beer at 1 in the morning.”

To Layer Is Human 2D materials make 3D masterpieces in artist’s sculptures

By Garth Bishop

Knotted Gnaw

W

hether she’s creating a small-scale sculpture or a massive installation, multi-dimensional artist Andrea Myers always makes sure she leaves room for the viewer to make his or her own interpretation.

Myers is an adjunct faculty member at the Columbus College of Art and Design. She’s been with the college for three years, teaching mainly sculpture and design. A Westerville native, she currently lives in north Columbus.

Andrea Myers She works primarily with sculpture herself, though the word doesn’t fully explain Myers’ artistic 3D art form 38 cityscene • September/October 2013

method. She uses flat and flexible materials such as fabric, paper and wood and layers them, using materials and lettering to emulate nature and make her work look organic.

“It’s an exploration of twoand three-dimensionality,” she says.

That 2D approach to a is the culmination of Myers’

evolution as an artist. She didn’t start out in the visual arts at all; her first college major was English. After deciding visual art made more sense, she changed course and enrolled at the Art Institute of Chicago.

“Through writing, I was still looking for that form of expression and outlet and trying to convey a feeling, and I think that’s a natural segue into visual arts,” Myers says.

In art school, Myers started out in printmaking, a decidedly 2D medium, so when she made the move to 3D, she did so by piling and layering flat materials.

“I was more drawn to the process than to the project,” she says.

While some 3D artists like to utilize found materials in their work, Myers prefers traditional materials – they have more uses, she says, and that means more opportunities for those viewing the work to develop their own meanings for it.

“Hopefully, it’s drawing the viewer to think more about the form,” she says.

She prefers abstraction for the same reason. It allows her to keep her work openended, offering further opportunity for interpretation, and that helps her better understand certain aspects of the work herself.

“Sometimes, people will tell me things – ‘Oh, this sculpture makes me think of this’ – and it can be kind of jarring to hear what they think,” Myers says.

An example: A viewer once spotted animal forms in a sculpture Myers built.

That wasn’t what Myers had intended, but when she was told, she took another look at the piece www.cityscenecolumbus.com

and saw how some of the organic elements of the piece could resemble animals.

Though she left writing behind as her primary form of expression some time ago, her background in it helped refine her artistic style, and she tells her students that, for an artist, the ability to write is important as it is connected to the ability to explain.

Opportunities to see Myers’ work around central Ohio abound for the next few months.

Andrea Myers is just one of 28 artists whose will be part of Naked when it opens at Hammond Harkins Galleries.

Naked runs Oct. 18-Nov. 17 at the Bexley gallery.

All the participating artists are faculty members at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Curator Char Norman is dean emeritus at CCAD and is former dean of faculty.

Naked is, by design, an open-ended theme, left entirely to the interpretations of the artists. That was part of the appeal, Norman says – seeing how each artist would choose to interpret the theme.

“It’s an attempt to spark some new ideas in the artists,” she says. “It really kicked some of them out of their comfort zone.”

Some interpreted the theme literally, such as with traditional nudes. Others worked with looser connections, such as raw emotions, issues of nature and the environment, and treatment of animals.

Artistic media represented in the show include oil, digital photos, watercolors, acrylics, plates, prints, even an iPhone app. Artists were also asked to put together 6-inch-by-6inch miniature pieces for the show.

CCAD professors encourage their students to push boundaries in new art forms, and so, too, were faculty members encouraged to push boundaries with their contributions to Naked.

“It was really a challenge pushing them, and the ‘naked’ theme and the miniature theme were ways to really get people to think differently and examine their work,” says Norman. “I have seen some surprising things.”

A Dialogue with the Human Form September 9 to October 17, 2013 Opening Reception Friday, September 20 • 5 to 7:30 p.m.

Since the dawn of creative activity, artists have been naturally inclined to adopt the human figure as subject matter. In our contemporary times it still remains a source of inspiration and a vital tool of symbolism.

Presence brings together the work of practicing artists who demonstrate that the human form has a diverse dialogue all its own.

Sweep by Shane Snider Open Monday through Saturday, 1 to 5 p.m. Located on the fourth floor of Blackmore Library on Capital University’s Bexley campus.

The exhibition is curated by Casey Bradley, Studio Manager and Instructor of Dimensional Studies, Columbus College of Art and Design.

The Painter’s Eye

Featuring Anne in White by George Bellows

C

olumbus’ own George Bellows (1882-1925) is being celebrated this season in two exhibitions.

The first is the Columbus Museum of Art’s George Bellows and the American Experience, running through Jan. 4. The other is Keny Galleries’ Independent Spirits, Columbus Artists: The Forefront of Modernism, Sept. 20 through Nov. 15. Last year, there was a major retrospective of Bellows’ work exhibited in Washington D.C., New York and London.

In this painting, we have a fine example of Bellows’ later career, when he focused more on family portraits and the Maine and Woodstock, N.Y. landscape. Bellows lived half of each year in Woodstock from 1915 until his death at the age of 42. This home was the setting for this tender depiction (57” by 42”, oil on canvas) of the older of his two daughters, Anne.

Bellows’ technique moved away from the heavier paint handling to a more indirect method. This was based on his increasing interest in methods of the Dutch and Italian masters.

The indirect method is a procedure whereby one first makes a drawing, working out values and design, then building up the forms in more neutral tones (sometimes called “dead coloring”). Finally, one adds color in layers. This method can produce a smoother surface.

Bellows was always interested in the underlying geometry of composition and various color systems. Take a look at the curves of Anne’s left arm, her large mass of hair, the large hat in her hand and the bend in the large tree in the distance. All relate to one another.

The color is restrained everywhere but in the bright landscape beyond the door. You might interpret this as a young girl going out into a bright future from the warmth of her home.

Some of these experiments worked better than others, and a number of people feel Bellows’ later work doesn’t quite stand up to his early promise. However, if you look at his work in context of other American painters at the time, this smooth surface quality shows up in the work of such diverse artists as Georgia O’Keeffe, Thomas Hart Benton and Bellows’ close friend Leon Kroll. This is the realist tradition taking on a more modernist tendency.

The Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh has always had a focus on collecting contemporary art. Bellows won prizes in the prestigious Carnegie International three times; 1913, 1914 and 1922. The next Carnegie International opens Oct. 5 and runs through March 16, 2014. cs
