LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

A

mong the many strengths of The Columbus Museum is its drawing collection, which encompasses the Colonial period to the present in the media of graphite, charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and cut paper. Selections from the collection will be the focus of the exhibition, Between the Lines: American Drawings from the Columbus Museum, opening in May. Rarely seen work and new acquisitions will both be in the exhibition, which also examines the importance that expert collectors such as Dr. Philip L. Brewer and Claire and Joseph Flom had in building the collection.

Since moving to Columbus, I have been struck by the passion for sports that so many people in our region share, not only for college and national teams, but also for local sports teams. A new exhibition in the Legacy Gallery will tell the story of the rich history of sports in our valley, including high school and college sports and the contributions of great athletes such as Olympic gold medalist Alice Coachman, golfing great Larry Mize, Major League Baseball players Frank Thomas and Tim Hudson, NFL football player Kent Hill, and NBA basketball player Sam Mitchell.

April brings the return of the Museum’s annual benefit, Let There Be Art!, which has an exciting addition this year. More than 50 artists from the region are participating in a new “10 x 10” section of smaller artwork, and they will

also have more works for sale. The event once again includes nationally-known galleries. I hope you will mark your calendars for April 15 – 19. The festivities begin with the Benefit Gala on Friday and continue with a talk by gallery director and Columbus native Florence Neal on Saturday, a brunch on Sunday, and a special luncheon and lecture on Tuesday.

We are grateful to our honorary chairs, Mary Lu and Mason Lampton, and to the many volunteers who make Let There Be Art! an outstanding event that supports Museum operations. More information about Let There Be Art! can be found in this magazine.

I am saddened to report that two longstanding Board of Trustees members, Mark Porter and Wendell Lewis, passed away in November and December, respectively. Mark’s contributions as a past Board president and chair of the Finance and the Building and Grounds Committees were integral to the Museum’s success. He was passionate about the Museum, perhaps most of all for the Bradley Olmstead Garden. Wendell was an honorary trustee whose knowledge of and enthusiasm for American cut glass resulted in many generous donations to the Museum. We will miss them greatly.

May brings the Annual Members’ Meeting on Thursday, May 12, at which the Board of Trustees reviews accomplishments of the past year, and you, our members, elect new members to the Board. We welcome your suggestions

and recommendations at all times of the year, but this meeting is a great time to make your thoughts known and meet members of the Board, and fellow members.

The following week brings the annual Rothschild Distinguished Speaker Series, a free lecture by a nationallyknown expert. Mark Pascale, Janet and Craig Duchossois Curator of Prints and Drawings at The Art Institute of Chicago and Adjunct Professor of Art in Print Media at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, will discuss contemporary drawing practice.

The Mission of the Columbus Museum is to bring American art and history to life for the communities of the Chattahoochee Valley.

S

ports provide more than just recreation: they offer a source of community pride and cultural touchstones that connect fans across physical, generational, and socioeconomic lines. This exhibition will present highlights from Chattahoochee Valley sports history, including successful high-school, college, amateur and professional teams, and Olympic athletes who have lived in the area. It will explore the breadth and depth of sports history in the region, as well as the cultural relationships and community pride generated by team fans. Sports to be featured include football, 1

baseball and softball, basketball, golf, horse racing, and competitive air-rifle shooting. Artifacts and images from the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, local schools, and the Museum’s own collection will offer a new look at beloved moments and illuminate lesser-known stories of local sports venues and teams.

he Columbus Museum’s excellent collection of American drawings, which includes original works produced with graphite, charcoal, watercolor, pastel, and cut paper, will be the focus of Between the Lines: American Drawings from the Columbus Museum. The exhibition will highlight recent acquisitions and explore themes that recur throughout the collection, focusing on two key concepts: American drawing from the viewpoint of culture and from the perspective of artistic practice. More than 150 works on paper will be on view in the exhibition, including examples by Benjamin West, Thomas Sully, Peggy Bacon, Thornton Dial, Jasper Cropsey, John Singer Sargent, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, William Anastasi, and Susan York.

The heart of the Museum's holdings is the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Phillip L. Brewer, a truly significant group of American works on paper. The Museum’s drawing collection also includes a large number of drawings that have been in the collection of noted collectors Claire and Joseph Flom. Additional acquisitions through both gift and purchase that increased the depth, quality and reputation of the Museum’s drawing collection.

Although a majority of the works predate World War II, the collection spans every era of American art from the late 18th century to the present.

Between the Lines will examine the importance collectors have had in the Museum’s collection and themes such as the role of drawing in artists’ artistic practice, the notion of national identity as expressed in the visual arts, and the aims of serial and systemic work.

ST. EOM’S PASAQUAN PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

E

MAY 28 – SEPTEMBER 4, 2016 | YARBROUGH GALLERY

ddie Owens Martin often said that his visionary art site Pasaquan was “where the past and the present and the future and everything else comes together.” Guest curated by Columbus State University (CSU) faculty and students, this exhibition offers an introduction to Pasaquan in Marion County, Georgia, and the work of Martin, who dubbed himself St. EOM, while also providing an in-depth analysis of the theme “past, present, and future.” An array of St. EOM’s work in diverse media ranging from works on paper, to jewelry, to large concrete busts, will be examined aesthetically and symbolically.

Both St. EOM’s beautifully distinct style and the practical

and utilitarian nature of his art will be on display. This exhibition and related programming will serve as a kick-off for the reopening of Pasaquan after its two-year restoration by the Kohler Foundation and subsequent stewardship by CSU.

St. EOM was born in Marion County in 1908, the son of sharecroppers. Eager to escape a life of rural poverty, he left home at age 14 and ultimately moved to New York City, where he learned about art in museums and libraries and hustled and told fortunes to make money. After experiencing a series of visions of “people of the future” who instructed him to “return to Georgia and do something,” St. EOM began to build Pasaquan in 1955 as the site of a peaceful future for all humans. He continued building the landscape and creating art until his death in 1986. His work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the High Museum of Art (Atlanta). This exhibition will present

HARDAWAY

POCKET WATCH

R

obert Archelaus Hardaway was one of the Chattahoochee Valley’s military and educational leaders as well as the patriarch of one of its most influential families. A Columbus resident since the age of four, he first gained experience in military life while at Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama, and Emory College in Oxford, Georgia, serving as a corporal of a corps of cadets and joining a company of volunteers headed for the Mexican War. After graduating from Emory University, Hardaway returned home and married Rebecca Hurt in 1857; the couple had two sons who survived to adulthood.

He became the owner of a 1,000-acre plantation in Macon County, Alabama, and later became a professor of engineering at both the University of Alabama and present-day Auburn University.

Hardaway participated in virtually all of the campaigns of Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia during the

Civil War. He entered the Confederate service as a Captain after raising and outfitting a local Alabama volunteer unit, and by the end of the war, was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Hardaway participated in more than 100 battles or skirmishes, was wounded twice, and became one of the most noted artillerists in the Confederate army. In July 1861, his unit participated in the first largescale clash of the Confederate and Union armies. This contest, the Battle of Bull Run, or Manassas, was the first of several dozen battles in which Hardaway and his command would be involved, including Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania, and the siege of Petersburg.

The back of this watch case is engraved with an “H” and features a light hand-written engraving inside that reads: “Capt R.A. Hardaway/Manassas/July 21, 1861”, followed by a sketch of the First National Confederate flag. A hidden cover on the mechanism includes the handwritten engraving “Capt R A Hardaway

Alabama 1861.” Pocket watches did not become popular in America until after the Civil War, and Hardaway does not mention the watch in his numerous letters home during the war, so its origin is a mystery. It is possible that the watch was a family heirloom that Hardaway took with him into battle at Manassas, or an object he later found on the battlefield and picked up as a souvenir, a common practice among soldiers of both armies.

Regardless, it seems likely that Hardaway had the watch engraved to commemorate the Confederate victory, possibly during

the many months he was stationed in the area after the battle. The watch itself is of English manufacture, produced by Molyneaux of London sometime between 1825 and 1850, and is attached to a chain made of heavy yarn, surrounded by decorative twisted horsehair with connecting pieces of copper.

This intriguing piece is an excellent complement to the extensive Robert A. Hardaway Collection that Benjamin Hurt Hardaway III donated to the Museum in 2005, and the Museum is once again thankful for his generosity.

SECRETARY BOOKCASE

T

he Columbus Museum recently received a beautiful secretary bookcase as a gift in memory of Columbus native Dr. D. Ronald Watson. This fine example from the Federal Period was most likely made in Southeastern New Hampshire and was formerly in the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Watson. A noted and enthusiastic collector of American decorative art, Dr. Watson began collecting furniture while finishing his residency in general surgery in Memphis. The Columbus Museum featured his collection in the Museum’s 2004 exhibition and book, American Federal Furniture and Decorative Arts from the Watson Collection.

Made of maple and white pine, this handsome piece is stylistically related to a secretary bookcase in the collection of the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College. According to noted decorative arts scholar Philip Zimmerman, The Columbus Museum’s secretary bookcase is likely one of at least four that have in common “several distinctive design characteristics: ogee-shaped bookcase doors with round arches at the top, half-round fans carved into the pediment, oxbow (reverseserpentine) drawer fronts, and differently shaped but similar straight bracket feet.”

The Museum’s new acquisition differs from

the others in having chamfered corners in the upper case incised into a diaper pattern. Each drawer in the secretary bookcase has separate compartments with fixed shelves. The upper section of the piece fits onto the desk section through moldings. The finial (the decoration feature at the top of the secretary bookcase) is turned from a single piece of wood.

Dr. Zimmerman has set the place of origin for the piece to southeastern New Hampshire based on the history of ownership of one of the other examples.

In the Colonial and early decades of our new nation, southeastern New Hampshire was the site of an active group of furniture makers centered around Portsmouth.

The area’s strong timber trade had brought prosperity to many merchants, who built impressive homes for which they needed equally impressive furniture.

Although inspired by styles originating in Boston and Salem, New Hampshire furniture makers created their own distinctive regional variations such as that on the bookcase doors in the Museum’s new acquisition.

The Columbus Museum does not have another example of Federal furniture from southeastern New Hampshire and is grateful for the generous donation of this beautiful secretary bookcase.

M

ark Pascale has been active in the Chicago art world for more than 30 years as a curator, researcher, artist, and professor. Pascale has been a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Art Institute of Chicago since 1990.

His speciality is modern and contemporary works on paper. His recent contributions to the field include the exhibitions and catalog essays for Martin Puryear: Multiple Dimensions, Contemporary Drawings from the Irving Stenn Jr. Collection, and Jasper Johns: Gray, and Force of a Dream: The Drawings of Joseph Yoakum, published by and exhibited at The Art

Institute of Chicago. He was the curator for the Art Institute's 2014 exhibition, Saul Steinberg: Commerating the 100th Anniversary of His Birth.

Pascale will trace some key points in the evolution of contemporary drawing practice. Drawing is a medium affording artists the chance to record everything, from their first thoughts to final presentation. For centuries, drawings have been revered and collected as intimate expressions. In the 20th century, the scale of drawing expanded and by the late 1960s, Sol LeWitt created his first drawings executed directly on a wall, thereby challenging the scale of painting and sculpture, and reaching the dimension of architecture. A reception will follow the program.

The Rothschild Distinguished Speaker Series features a nationally prominent speaker in the field of art or history who speaks about issues related to the Museum’s permanent collection and temporary exhibitions.

This series is made possible by a generous bequest from the Norman S. Rothschild (1917-1998) in memory of his parents Aleen and Irwin B. Rothschild.

An affiliate group, the Young Art Patrons of The Columbus Museum are young art enthusiasts who share a common commitment and passion for the Museum and the cultural arts community of the Chattahoochee Valley. They help the Museum by offering engaging and unique events that support The Columbus Museum’s mission and vision.

The YAPs enjoyed a busy year in 2015 with plenty of excitement and accomplishments. Thanks to the dedication of the YAP board members, led by Chair Willette Shalishali and Co-Chair Chandler Rohwhedder, this group was able to reach incredible heights. The YAPs established a formal executive committee, rebranded the group, organized a scavenger hunt kickoff attended by more than 100 people, hosted a studio tour at the residences of Bo Bartlett and Betsy Eby, as well as two “In the Garden” concert series events. They also hosted “Late Night with the YAPs” at the Let There Be Art! Premiere Party and successfully completed the Museum’s first ever crowdfunding campaign, “Light Up the Garden," raising more than $10,000 for the installation of lights in the Museum’s Bradley Olmsted Garden.

The biggest accomplishment of the 2015 year was exceeding the goal of growing to 100 members. The group nearly doubled its membership numbers over the course of a year.

Chair Jacy Jenkins and Co-Chair Josina Pittman Greene lead the 2016 board. The goal for 2016 is to grow and maintain YAPs mission and focus on combining social events with arts patronage within the community.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

SPRING 2016

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT VALÉRIA FARIAS

Valéria has been volunteering at The Columbus Museum since July 2015, having recently completed her docent training. She spends most of her volunteer hours as a docent working with the Gallery Tales program, but also assists with events such as Second Saturday and Steeplechase.

When asked what her favorite thing about volunteering at the Museum was, she responded, “There are many good things about volunteering here. First of all, since I got to the Museum I’ve been learning a lot about American Art and Regional History. Also, I love to see how people enjoy the visit and learn so much at a time.

Working with children, I can see the excitement in their eyes during our activities and that is amazing. Last but not least, the staff is very welcoming and helpful and this is very important for the new docents.” Valéria also volunteers at Paws Humane and at the English Language Institute at Columbus State University.

Her favorite piece in the Museum’s collection is Venus on Sixth Avenue, painted by James Guy in 1937. “I love the fantastic images and colors, the symbols and the social message. It is a very good piece to talk about the role of women in a male-dominated society,” said Farias.
