American Impressionism: The Lure of the Artists’ Colony March 7 – May 31

FROM THE DIRECTOR Greetings to all of you as we close out another year and prepare for many exciting things to come in 2015.

I and everyone at The Dayton Art Institute appreciate your continued support of the museum and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. Thank you also to everyone who participated in our recent member and visitor surveys.

The information gathered will aid us in continuing to improve your experiences at The DAI. It’s been another successful year here at The Dayton Art Institute, with a record-breaking Art Ball and Oktoberfest. Those events provide vital operational funding, so that the museum may continue to serve thousands of children and adults as a place of learning and discovery, through tours, concerts, workshops and special events, as well as informal visits with friends and family. Our 2014 special exhibitions included two breathtaking exhibitions organized by our Curator of Collections and Exhibitions, Dr. Aimee Marcereau DeGalan: Isabella Kirkland: Stilled Life and Dayton Celebrates Glass: Chihuly, Littleton, Labino and Beyond.

Speaking of special exhibitions, you still have time to see our current special exhibition, Deco Japan: Shaping Art and Culture, 1920–1945, which is on

view through January 25. This amazing collection of 200 objects illustrates the influence of the art deco movement on Japanese society. This is the only Midwestern stop for this travelling exhibition, so don’t miss it.

Be sure to also stop by during the holidays and see our holiday tree in the Rotunda. This year it features origami ornaments inspired by the Deco Japan exhibition.

We’re very excited to announce our full 2015 special exhibition schedule: an all-American season featuring American Impressionism in the spring; an exhibition of original posters from World War I and World II, paired with moving photos of World War I battle grounds by Cincinnati-based artist Jane Alden Stevens in the summer; and an exhibition exploring the work of folk artist Grandma Moses in the fall. It’s the perfect time to renew or purchase a membership – or even give the “gift of American art” by purchasing a membership for the art lover in your life.You will find more information about all of these exhibitions on the adjoining pages of this issue.

As we look ahead to the 2015 exhibitions, please note that we have modified our special exhibition pricing. Our building preservation and art conservation fees are now included in the advertised price, rather than charged as separate fees. It is enormously expensive to operate our historic building and care for the treasures housed within it. As I’ve stated here before, it costs nearly $12,000 per day just to open our doors to the public! These fees, which are devoted specifically to the care of our building and collection, provide an important source of funds for that purpose.

Again, thank you for the continued support of your Dayton Art Institute.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season, and we look forwarding to sharing our cultural treasures with you throughout 2015.

Best regards,

SPECIAL EXHIBITION GALLERIES ANNEX FEBRUARY 21 – APRIL 12, 2015

As part of a city-wide conversation on Human Rights, Faith and Reason, The Dayton Art Institute and the University of Dayton have partnered to present artist Julie Green’s delicately painted porcelain plates that depict the final meal requests of death row inmates.

The installation raises tough questions about the humanity of the death penalty and brings a sense of palpable immediacy to the reality of capital punishment in America. For the

CALL TO DUTY: WORLD WAR POSTERS

artist Julie Green, the work illustrates the very human aspect of nurturing an individual condemned to death, but also raises the complexities of “the death penalty, the victims, the heinous crimes committed, the individuals executed, the large number of minorities on death row and the margin for error in judicial process.” The installation is guest-curated by Dr. Judith Huacuja, Associate Professor, Chair of The Department of Visual Arts, University of Dayton.

The Last Supper is held in conjunction with the Dayton Opera’s production of Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking and a February 26 lecture at the University of Dayton by Sr. Helen Prejean, author of the book Dead Man Walking. The exhibition is free to members and included in museum suggested admission for non-members.

As a companion to Call to Duty: World War Posters, Cincinnati-based photographer Jane Alden Stevens’ large-format photographs present various battle grounds upon which some of the bloodiest battles of World War I were waged. Her reverential imagery employs both visual elegance and restraint as she pays homage to the loss, and yet, at the same time, finds beauty in the representation of these hallowed grounds.

AMERICAN SAMPLER: GRANDMA MOSES AND THE HANDICRAFT TRADITION NOVEMBER 21, 2015 – FEBURARY 21, 2016

Howard Chandler Christy (American, 1873– 1952), Fight or Buy Bonds, 1917, color lithograph, Reading Public Museum, 1972.353.1C

More than 70 original posters from World War I and World War II, by such greats of American illustration as Norman Rockwell, James Montgomery Flagg, and Howard Chandler Christy, help tell the story of the massive human efforts put forth during these twentieth-century global conflicts. This exhibition has been organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading, PA.

Grandma Moses (American, 1860– 1961), Lake Eden, Vermont, (detail)1944, Oil on pressed wood, 11 x 21 inches. Gift of Stuart and Christine Rose, 1994.43

Anna Mary Roberston Moses (1860–1961), better known as Grandma Moses, is one of America’s most recognized and successful folk artists. An accomplished seamstress, Moses did not begin painting until age 78, after arthritis made it difficult to embroider. This exhibition, featuring more than 50 paintings by Grandma Moses, along with her embroideries, crewelwork, and other ephemera, will build the story of handiwork related to depictions of the landscape that preceded her and how the handicraft tradition informed her work.

2015 Special Exhibitions

THE LAST SUPPER: 600 PLATES ILLUSTRATING FINAL MEALS OF U.S. DEATH ROW INMATES

American Impressionism: The Lure of the Artists’ Colony March 7 – May 31

AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISM: THE LURE OF THE ARTISTS’ COLONY SPECIAL EXHIBITION GALLERIES MARCH 7 – MAY 31, 2015

Our 2015 special exhibitions begin with a comprehensive look at more than 100 works

by American Impressionists from the 1880s through the 1940s, including John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, John Twachtman, and many others.

Arranged according to the artists’ colonies that played a critical role in the development of American Impressionism around the turn of the century, this exhibition examines artistic communities at Cos Cob and Old Lyme in Connecticut; Cape Cod, Cape Anne, and

Rockport, in Massachusetts; New Hope and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Taos, New Mexico; and throughout California. Within each of these colonies, artists were able to teach, collaborate and escape the daily rigors of their city studios.

Often located in scenic locations within striking distance of major cities, artists’ colonies served up steady doses of natural beauty and provided ample subject matter for the practitioners.

The resulting selection of lyrical landscapes, ranging from snow-covered hills to sun-filled harbors and seascapes, penetrating portraits, and remarkable still-life paintings documents an important moment in the history of American art. For more information, go to daytonartinstitue.org/impressionism.

FOCUS EXHIBITION IN THE GARDEN: WORKS ON PAPER FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION NORTH/SOUTH GALLERIES, LOWER LEVEL MARCH 21 – MAY 31, 2015

Garden development parallels civilization’s developments—first starting as a way to deter animals from eating plants, then growing into triumphs of aesthetic expression and national pride. Gardens are the sites of philosophical debates, royal court meetings, lovers’ escapes, and personal relaxation/reflection. The works presented here, drawn from The Dayton Art Institute’s permanent collection, suggest the myriad uses of outdoor spaces in various countries and eras, and where artists have chosen to focus within them.

DECKED OUT! UPDATE: NEW ADDITIONS & YECK ARTIST-INRESIDENCE INSTALLATION See the newest additions to Decked Out! through April 12, when this well-adorned Experiencenter exhibition closes. Colorful textiles from Pakistan, China, Nigeria and Japan complement new hands-on activities, such as kimono design and braiding African bracelets.

Intricate, half-scale costumes by D. Bartlett Blair, Professor of Theater and Costume Design at Wright State University, will embellish the space with replicas of garments from 1598 through 1905. After you see them, be sure to visit the permanent collection to look for similar fashion trends.

These costumes join the installation of an art project made by 200 DECA PREP students, guided by 2014 Yeck Artist-in-Residence Deborah Brod. Her award-winning artwork incorporates recycled materials, textiles and innovative interpretations of adornment. Using plaster, fabric and repurposed materials, she guided the students in the creation of mixedmedia shoes and small objects that were combined into a colorful sculptural artwork.

PAM HOUK MAKES GIFT TO EXPERIENCENTER Pam Houk has a long history with The Dayton Art Institute. She and her mother both attended classes here, she lived next door to longtime DAI Directors Siegfried Weng and Thomas Colt Jr., her father served on the museum’s Board of Trustees, and she currently serves on the Board of Trustees.

One of her lasting contributions was helping to establish the Experiencenter in 1976, a space that she oversaw for nearly 24 years. Art and museum education continue to be her dual passions, and she has made a significant gift to establish The Experiencenter Fund, which will help underwrite future Experiencenter exhibitions. We spoke with her recently about the Experiencenter and her gift.

Tell us about the creation of the Experiencenter.

It grew out of my involvement with the Living Arts Center Gallery, a learning environment in the form of a participatory exhibit space.

The success of the hands-on gallery eventually caught the attention of then DAI Director Bruce Evans, who was looking for something to draw in new audiences. He asked if I would consider moving the idea of the Living Arts Center Gallery to The DAI. The Experiencenter’s major audience included not only children and teachers, but also artists, which was quite validating in a way.

What prompted your decision to make this gift to the Experiencenter?

I want to see the Experiencenter concept continue. It’s gratifying that the museum has made the commitment to high-level education that includes a dedicated space for young visitors and their families. I believe that helping people of all ages make connections between art and their own lives, and involving them in meaningful and memorable activities, is one of the best ways to build the museum audience. I am confident that Susan Martis has the background to develop an Experiencenter program in an engaging, high-quality way.

What do you hope the role of the Experiencenter will be in the coming years?

I hope people will see the importance of museum education in fostering an understanding of the visual arts – that they

Dr. Susan Martis and Pam Houk in the Experiencenter.

will have an experience at the museum that encourages them to want to learn more or say “a-ha! I didn’t know that!” My hope is that the Experiencenter will motivate visitors to come back to the museum and further explore The DAI’s remarkable collections; that the Experiencenter and its related programs will excite visitors’ imaginations, and help them understand art as a universal visual language.

2015 EXPERIENCENTER EXHIBITION PREVIEW Dr. Susan Martis, Associate Curator of Education, is enthusiastic about these aims, expressing that when the Experiencenter originated, it was an innovative concept in art museum education. She’s motivated to continue this gallery’s role as a place to reinforce successful learning methods and to implement new ideas.

The 2015 exhibition, opening in May, will feature the concept of sight, with a presentation of luminous, pulsating optical effects. Visitors will be able to observe and practice how artists use line and color to explore how we see, as well as how our eyes can be deceived. Prints, paintings, photographs and Native American textiles will demonstrate the illusions of Op Art, color mixing, perspective systems, and montage. Watch for more information in the next Member Magazine.

In 2016, the Experiencenter celebrates its 40th anniversary! We’re interested in memories of exhibitions in this gallery that were particularly meaningful to you. Please send them to Susan Martis at smartis@daytonart.org.

DECO JAPAN TALK EXPLORES JAPANESE CINEMA There’s still time to see Deco Japan, Shaping Art and Culture, 1920–1945, on view through January 25. The exhibition features more than 200 works that highlight the impact of art deco on Japanese culture.

If you’re a fan of both film and art deco, you’ll want to make note of a related talk taking place January 15 at 6:30 p.m.

The social and cultural tensions vividly represented in Deco Japan were also manifest in cinema production at this time, which was extremely prolific, popular, and experimental. Peter Doebler, doctoral candidate at the Graduate Theological Union, will illustrate this in his presentation “I Was Modern, But”: Tradition and Innovation in 1930s Japanese Film. The title references Yasujiro

While also examining Hiroshi Shimizu’s Japanese Girls at the Harbor (1933) and Mikio Naruse’s No Blood Relation (1932), Doebler will discuss the ways these filmmakers negotiated the intersection of modernism and tradition through the most modern of art forms, providing a unique perspective for consideration of the objects in the exhibition.

SUPPORT THE MUSEUM THROUGH A CARNELL CIRCLE GIFT

countless members and visitors will enjoy and be enriched by The Dayton Art Institute.

The Carnell Circle was established in 1995 and takes its name from Mrs. Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell, who understood that The Dayton Art Institute would continue to grow and prosper through the support and gifts of many loyal friends.

When the Carnell Circle was established, there were 21 charter members.

As a Carnell Circle member, your name can be included on the Carnell Circle Commemorative Plaque, located in the museum’s Great Hall.

Members of the Carnell Circle also receive a unique museum gift, invitations to special events and programs throughout the year, including the annual donor luncheon, and an opportunity to meet other individuals with a common interest in the future of the museum.
