FROM THE DIRECTOR

Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate the centennial of our founding in 2019, and here’s to a great start to our second century in 2020!

We hope you’ll make plans to join us at our Annual Meeting & Community Report on Thursday, February 27, as we take a look back at the centennial and look ahead to the new year. For me the highlights of the centennial year were the two community open house events: the Centennial Birthday Party in April and the Arts, Beats and Eats festival in October. The two events welcomed nearly 5,000 people to the museum!

It was also a fantastic year for exhibitions at the museum, and we just wrapped up the last of our 2019 special exhibitions, Maker & Muse: Women and Early 20th-Century Art Jewelry. Thank you to everyone who visited this and the other exhibitions; we hope you’ll make plans to join us for the first special exhibition of 2020, Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers: Yoshitoshi’s Complete 100 Aspects of the Moon, which opens February 22.

Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers is an exceptional opportunity provided by the DAI’s recent acquisition of a rare, complete album set of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's 100 Aspects of the Moon. The DAI has organized this exhibition and will be its only venue, so don’t miss the chance to see this entire series displayed together. It is a fitting way to wrap up the museum’s centennial celebrations and begin our next century!

I’m also pleased to report that LRT Restoration Technologies has made great progress on the restoration of the Grand Staircase over the past three months. New concrete has now been poured for all the stairs and the landing at the midpoint of the staircase. We’re on schedule to reopen the Grand Staircase in the spring, with a special ribbon cutting ceremony. Watch for more details on that!

Our Centennial Campaign, to help secure a bright future for the DAI’s next 100 years, will continue into 2020. The campaign is raising $27 million for capital improvements to our historic building and to grow the museum’s endowment. We hope you will consider making a gift to the Campaign– contact Development Director Natasha Spears, at nspears@daytonart.org or 937-512-0135, for information or to make a gift.

Thank you again for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing all of you at the museum throughout 2020.

Michael R. Roediger, MSLD, CFRE Director and CEO

Our Curatorial Department has many other wonderful exhibitions planned for the year, and you can find more information about many of them in this issue. Chief Curator Jerry Smith and his team are also progressing on collection gallery renovations and you will continue to see the updates and reinstallations throughout 2020. One of the first slated for reinstallation is Gallery 215 in the Berry Wing of European Art.

Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers: Yoshitoshi’s Complete 100 Aspects of the Moon February 22–May 3, 2020

The DAI’s opening Special Exhibition of 2020, Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers: Yoshitoshi's Complete 100 Aspects of the Moon, provides a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see all 100 works in Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s epic series 100 Aspects of the Moon!

The exhibition is an exceptional opportunity provided by the DAI’s recent acquisition of a rare complete album set, and a fitting conclusion to the museum’s 2019–2020 centennial celebrations.

One of the outstanding series in the history of Japanese woodblock prints, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s (1839–1892) 100 Aspects of the Moon is also the culmination of the

artist’s career. Issued as individual prints from 1885 to 1892, the series is a tour-de-force, combining diverse, striking designs with dramatic historical and mythical stories from Japan’s past, including samurai warriors and court ladies. The prints depict Shakespearean emotion—heroism and humor, love and loss, mystery and magic—and linking them all is the presence of the moon. Together, they form a concentrated introduction to Japanese culture, including its history, aesthetics, music, literature, performing arts, religions and festivals.

A selection of works from the DAI’s Japanese collection, as well as local and national loans,

Although kaidan may include elements of horror and revenge motifs, these are not essential.

The strange and in particular supernatural is elemental to kaidan. In her presentation, Noriko Tsunoda Reider will speak on some famous Japanese stories of the supernatural using Yoshitoshi’s prints in the series 100 Aspects of the Moon, and the emergence of the kaidan genre in the Edo period (1600–1867).

Reider is a Professor of Japanese

5 at Miami University of Ohio. Her Ph.D. is in Japanese literature.

She is a certified Japanese tea instructor. Her research and publications are in Japanese literature and folklore. She has published Seven Demon Stories from Medieval Japan (2016), Japanese Demon Lore: Oni, from Ancient Times to the Present (2010), Tales of the Supernatural in Early Modern Japan (2002), and many articles. Her new book, Mountain Witches: Yamauba, will appear in the fall of 2020.

2020 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS ANNOUNCED

In addition to Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers: Yoshitoshi’s Complete 100 Aspects of the Moon (featured on the preceding pages), the DAI has also announced its other Special Exhibitions for 2020.

“We are excited with our lineup of exhibitions for the coming season,” states Chief Curator Dr. Jerry N. Smith. “We close our 2019–2020 Centennial celebrations with the opening of an exhibition organized by the DAI around our recent acquisition of a rare, complete set of Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon, one of the greatest achievements in Japanese woodblock printmaking. We follow

this up with a look at the diverse and colorful art of the American Southwest, drawn from the Tia Collection, one of the most extensive private collections of art of the American West in the world. We close out the year with a look at what happened when major artists like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Henri Matisse, David Hockney and many others designed sets and costumes for the stage.

In short, it will be a bold and colorful year of major, internationally recognized art offerings in 2020 at the DAI.”

New Beginnings: An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West May 30–September 13 This major traveling exhibition is drawn from the internationally admired Tia Collection.

New Beginnings: An American Story of Romantics and Modernists in the West offers the dynamic story of art of New Mexico in the early 20th century through bold colors and dramatic compositions. This exhibition features more than 110 works by 72 artists, including painting, sculptures, photographs and prints. It highlights the evolution of art in the Southwest, from the late Romantics and Classicists to the advent of early Modernism.

ABOVE: Daniel Blau (American, 1894–1973), Self-Portrait, 1933, red conté crayon on paper. Bequest of the artist, 1973.143

One of the founders of the DAI, the Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors, and the Dayton Society of Etchers, Blau was an active part of the Dayton arts scene in the first half of the twentieth century. He was described by the late artist David Smith as “the outstanding painter to emerge from the community.” A lawyer, musician, instructor and artist, Blau rejected modern trends in art, preferring a naturalistic manner that he maintained throughout his life, creating numerous portraits, still lifes and landscapes. The 24 paintings, prints and drawings currently on view are a selection of the more than 50 works the artist bequeathed to the museum.

ABOVE: Utagawa Hiroshige I (Japanese, 1797–1858), Night Attack, about 1843–1847, from the series The Treasury of Loyal Retainers, woodblock print, ink and color on paper. Gift of Miss Annie Campbell, 1947.101.8

ABOVE: Amy Powell, There is no danger here, 2008, from the series Erica & I, archival inkjet print from medium format color film negative, printed 2010. Museum purchase with funds provided by The Kettering Fund, 2019.34

The Treasury of Loyal Retainers is a fictionalized account of one of the most famous stories in Japanese history, the 47 ronin (masterless samurai) who avenged their master’s death. Retold in numerous plays, novels, and films, the story was also popular material for woodblock print artists in the 1800s, including a series of 12 prints by Utagawa Hiroshige created in the 1840s. Through a selection of prints from the DAI’s collection, follow the adventure and drama of this epic story.

Artists often find inspiration close to home. This exhibition, pulled from the Dayton Art Institute’s photography collection, presents a range of artworks in which the artists used family members and close friends as their muses and models. Artists included are Harry Callahan, Elliot Erwin, Sally Mann, and a recent photography acquisition by Dayton photographer Amy Powell, among others.

The Roaring (and the Quiet) ‘20s March 28–August 16, Gallery 119

The DAI houses over 10,000 photographic objects and serves as the largest repository of photographs by Dayton pictorialist Jane Reece. With examples of various photographic processes, nineteenth-century travel photography and American modernists, the museum continues to grow its collection to present the media’s full range of possibilities.

‘LANGUAGE OF ART’ BOOK CLUB AT THE DAI CONTINUES!

ABOVE: Cecile Beaton (British, 1904–1980), Nora Holt, 1920s, gelatin silver print. Museum purchase, 1982.10

The 1920s was a tumultuous decade of remarkable highs and crushing economic lows. In America, women voted, jazz flourished, Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic and alcohol sales ceased. America experienced unprecedented economic growth, and social and intellectual energy, while public enthusiasm soared—until the stock market crash of 1929. As the DAI begins its second century in the 2020s, this exhibition draws from the museum’s collection to look at artistic achievements during this dramatic decade.

An anthology of short poems compiled in the 13th century, Hyakunin Isshu (One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each) is one of the most important works of Japanese literature. Some of the authors and poems are featured in Yoshitoshi’s print series 100 Aspects of the Moon. Using the recent Penguin reprint of Peter McMillan’s award-winning translation, we will explore this classic that covers the spectrum of human emotion.

CONSERVATION UPDATES Three Chinese scroll paintings have returned to the DAI after undergoing conservation at the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s Robert B. Jacobs Asian Art Conservation Laboratory. The artworks include a landscape attributed to Tang Dai (1721), a scene of men playing go attributed to Gu Jianlong (mid-17th century), and a scene of bamboo and rocks in the style of Wu Zhen (17th century).

Over time, the paintings had formed cracks across the surface and become brittle, dirty and yellowed, reducing their structural and aesthetic integrity. Conservation work included removing each painting from its old mounting, stabilizing the existing pigments, cleaning the surface, repairing the cracks, adding new support material, remounting with new backing papers and silk, and selectively inpainting. The paintings are now safer to handle, and the quality of the images is much improved.

In the coming year, look for these scroll paintings to be on view in the Chinese galleries of the Patterson-Kettering Wing of Asian Art. Funds for the conservation of these artworks were generously provided by The Kettering Fund.

CENTENNIAL COLLECTION ACQUISITIONS

The DAI is thrilled to announce the acquisition of a complete set of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s 100 Aspects of the Moon (1885–1892).

One of the outstanding series in the history of Japanese woodblock prints, 100 Hundred Aspects of the Moon is the culmination of the distinguished artist’s career. It is a tour-de-force, combining diverse, striking designs with dramatic historical and mythical stories from Japan’s past.

The prints depict heroism and humor, love and loss, and linking them all is the appearance of the moon in some way. Together, they form a concentrated introduction to Japanese culture, including its history, aesthetics, music, literature, and performing arts.

The complete set of prints will be on view in our next special exhibition, Samurai, Ghosts and Lovers: Yoshitoshi’s Complete 100 Aspects of the Moon, featured elsewhere in this issue!

The museum also acquired There is No Danger Here, a photograph by artist Amy Powell, with funds provided by The Kettering Fund. Part of a larger series titled Erica & I, Powell documents her younger sister while investigating themes of family, childhood, and the tenuous balance between play and hazard. This photograph will be on view in the summer Focus Exhibition, Looking at Family: Photographs from the Collection.

Born in Ohio, Amy Powell received a BFA in Media Studies from Columbus College of Art & Design, and an MFA and MA in Art Education from Ohio State University. She has completed commissioned photographic projects for The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, Elle, and Mashable. Her work has been featured by TIME Magazine, Huffington Post, and Wired, and she has participated in Instagram takeovers for The New Yorker and LensCulture.

The DAI also received numerous generous gifts of art in 2019, including a drawing on newsprint by artist Alfredo Ramos Martinez (1871–1946).

A major figure in Mexican modern art, Martinez is known for his depictions honoring native Mexicans and traditions. This artwork, which was displayed in the recent 2019 exhibition, Our Century: Dayton Area Collects, was gifted by the Don and Kit Desch estate.

In 2019, the DAI acquired a total of 170 artworks through museum purchases and generous donations. To learn how you can support the museum’s acquisition, conservation, and exhibition funds, please contact Brandy McFall, Senior Sponsorship Officer, at 937-512-0139 or bmcfall@daytonart.org.

Work continues, with a planned completion and reopening of the Grand Staircase in the spring of this year. Watch our social media pages for updates!
