recognized as one of America’s most important

sculptors of the twentieth century and one of the most significant women artists the nation has

produced, few people know that she grew up in

the small coastal village of Rockland, Maine. Born Leah Berliawsky in Pereyaslav, near Kiev, in what was then part of the Russian Empire, she arrived

here in 1905 at the age of six, when she and the rest

of her family joined her father, Isaac, who had come to Rockland in 1902. Isaac and other members of his family came to the United States in search of a better life than was possible for Jews in Tsarist

Russia, where they were regularly subjected to both discrimination and violent anti-Semitism. Isaac

became a successful businessman, as a lumber yard

owner, builder, and developer, eventually becoming the fourth highest taxpayer in Rockland. Thus Louise, as she came to be known, her brother

Louise’s initial discovery of art took place at age

nine in the Rockland Public Library. In the Library rotunda she saw a plaster cast of Joan of Arc, the

around the turn of the twentieth century. As Nevel-

son later reported, the librarian struck up a conversation with her and a friend. The librarian asked both

of them what they wanted to be when they grew up, to which Louise replied “I’m going to be an artist,” and, perhaps influenced by her admiration for the

under a Works Progress Administration program and taught art in Brooklyn and New York.

She had her first solo show in New York in 1941,

and quickly began to establish her reputation, enjoying critical success though selling little. Her family

was a constant source of support during this period, including in 1945 when they purchased a house for her on East 30th Street in New York. Travels to

Mexico and Guatemala in the early 1950s exposed

her to Pre-Columbian art, which along with that of Africa and India strongly influenced her work. By

the late 1950s Nevelson established her reputation as

one of America’s most talented and innovative sculptors, eventually working in a variety of materials –

aluminum, plastic, Cor-ten steel, and, above all, wood.

She created wall reliefs, free-standing sculptures,

connection to Rockland, returning regularly to

visit her siblings and their families. In 1979 the

Farnsworth Art Museum’s director Marius Peledeau mounted its first exhibition of Rockland’s most

famous artist, and another in 1985. The museum’s

attention and that of the town she had once called

home had an unexpected effect on her. She remarked at the opening of her 1979 show, “When I was

growing up in Rockland from grammar school to

high school, there was no museum. One of the great

joys of my life is that we have a first-rate one now – a beautiful building that encloses creative works that

can stand with the great ones. That is something that I had not expected in my wildest dreams to find in a town in Maine – that jewel that shines.”

BLACK AND WHITE: LOUSIE NEVELSON AND PEDRO GUERRERO OPENS OCTOBER 6, 2017

Pedro Guerrero: Beginnings remarkable sixty-year career, he photographed houses designed by some of the most illustrious American architects and artists of the twentieth century such as Marcel Breuer, Philip Johnson, Edward Durrell Stone, whose clients included Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Alexander Calder. Among these clients were those who Guerrero described as three of America’s greatest artists – Calder, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Louise Nevelson.

Like Louise Nevelson, Guerrero came to what would be his life’s work from the most modest of beginnings. He was born in 1917 in a one-room shack in Mesa, Arizona, where he lived with his mother, father, and older brother Adolfo. As the family grew, his father expanded the house by adding another room. Of Mexican heritage, Guerrero soon became aware of his lesser status in what was once part of Mexico.

Mesa schools, he related, “practiced triple segregation,” with separate schools for African-Americans and Mexicans, with the best facilities reserved for Anglos in the predominantly Mormon enclave of Mesa. Segregation and discrimination touched every part of his early life.

OVER THE COURSE OF PEDRO E. GUERRERO’S

His growing interest in art led him to leave for Los Angeles on his twentieth birthday to study at the Art Center School where his older brother had already enrolled. Learning upon his arrival that all the art classes were filled, he signed up to take a photography course. In 1939, though, unhappy with the school’s restrictive approach, he returned to Mesa. His father, who years before had painted a sign for famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s nascent architectural practice in nearby Scottsdale, suggested Pedro pay Wright a visit to see if he might need a photographer.

Wright (1867-1959), then seventy-two, was enjoying a sudden revival of interest in his work, and clients who wanted him. Pedro’s father arranged an appointment for him, and so he went to the desert encampment where Wright was in the process of creating his home, studio, and school complex known as Taliesin West, a winter retreat from his Spring Green, Wisconsin complex known as Taliesin. After showing Wright his work, the architect asked him

what he was doing. “I’m unemployed,” Guerrero replied. “Would you like to work for us? We’ve just lost our photographer.” “I’d love to work for you, but as you can see, I have a lot to learn,” said Guerrero.

“I’ll teach you,” said Wright, and so began the work that began Guerrero’s career as one of the country’s foremost architectural photographer. He traveled throughout the country photographing Wright’s work, and that of other major twentieth-century American architects, leading to his 1994 book, Picturing Wright.

WORKI N G W I T H A RT IST S Guerrero’s architectural work for various magazines, and his growing reputation, created another unexpected opportunity. In 1963 House and Garden’s kitchen editor asked him to photograph famed sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976) in his Roxbury, Connecticut home and studio. Though the assignment was to photograph the sculpture

“I’d love to work for you, but as you can see, I have a lot to learn,” said Guerrero. “I’ll

teach you,” said Wright, and so began the

work that began Guerrero’s career as one of the country’s foremost architectural photographers.

This presentation by chief curator Michael Komanecky will explore the work of sculptor Louise Nevelson and photographer Pedro Guerrero, the reputations they forged during their long and productive careers, and how early life experiences shaped their artistic personae.

for a story, “A Man’s Influence in the Kitchen,” Guerrero immediately saw something that he felt was far more important to photograph. He took a few shots of what Calder designed and made for his kitchen – everything from cabinets to serving forks – photographs his editor didn’t want to use, and so the story was dropped. What resulted, however, was what he described as “a thirteen-year relationship with Calder that would rival my two decades with Frank Lloyd Wright.” Calder, his house, his art, and his world, thus became the subject of a large and important body of Guerrero’s work.

LO UISE NEVELS ON His work with Calder having come to an end, Guerrero approached a publisher about a book on Calder, and discussions followed about a three-part book, on Calder, Wright, and Andrew Wyeth. Guerrero got in touch with his friend, Jean Lippman, founder and long-time editor of Art in America magazine, whom he hoped would be able to introduce him to Wyeth. When the two friends met for lunch and he asked for Lippman’s help, she asked him, “Why do you want to meet him? His home is a bore, his work is a bore, and he’s a bore.

Who you need to meet is Louise Nevelson. I’ll have you both for dinner.” Lippman may well have had an ulterior motive in directing Guerrero toward Nevelson: she was planning a book to coincide with a 1980 Whitney Museum of American Art retrospective on Nevelson’s work.

In any event, the date was set and they met at a fashionable midtown New York restaurant. As Guerrero recalled, “Louise was a sight to behold, swathed in layers of fabric from head to toe. She floated across the room, extending her hand in

greeting while batting inch-long false eyelashes.

She was seventy-six when we met and still dazzling.” The two hit it off immediately, and he got access to Nevelson, her New York home and studio, and her work being fabricated elsewhere, all the photographs of which were available for the Whitney Museum project.

Guerrero found the commission exciting but unexpectedly difficult. “I was sixty-two years old and had been a photographer for forty years when I started photographing Louise and her work. By then I thought that I had met every photographic challenge possible, but I had never encountered the technical difficulties of photographing Louise’s world…Rooms painted black and furnished with black objects posed the greatest challenge. These spaces consumed light; I had to figure out how to make one black object stand out from the next, to show that it had texture and depth.” Guerrero rose to the challenge, and his photographs were included in Lippman’s book, Louise Nevelson: Atmospheres and Environment, the introduction to which was written by Nevelson’s long-time friend, playwright Edward Albee.

Guerrero’s accomplishment was to capture both Nevelson’s “dazzling” very carefully constructed persona and the extraordinary living and working environments she created around her. A selection of Guerrero’s photographs of Nevelson and her work, including not only those in black and white but also some of his rare color works, all vintage prints, are in this show. This is the first time Guerrero’s and Nevelson’s works have been brought together, and are on loan thanks to the generosity of his widow, Dixie Guerrero, with the support of the extended Guerrero family and Los Angeles dealer, Edward Cella Art & Architecture. n

JAMIE WYETH: THE KENNEDY STUDIES

OPENS OCTOBER X, 2017

JAMIE WYETH:

T he Ken n edy St u di e s May 29, 2017, marked the 100th birthday of John F. Kennedy, America’s 35th president, whose assassination in Dallas in 1963 shocked and saddened the world. Many who were alive at the time can still remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news of his death.

Three years after the horrific event, twenty-one-year old Jamie Wyeth embarked on a series of preparatory sketches for a posthumous portrait of the president known for his eloquence, diplomacy, and optimism. The challenge, of course, was not only to portray a man Wyeth never met, but also to paint the portrait of such a well-known public figure. Kennedy would have been fifty years old in 1967 when Wyeth completed the painting, now also fifty and recently acquired by Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.

For two years Wyeth took on intensive research, immersing himself in photographs, articles, and films depicting JFK as he commenced his drawings for the portrait. In order to understand as much as possible about the president’s mannerisms and speech patterns shared in common with his younger brothers, Wyeth also spent many hours sketching Robert and Edward Kennedy during their day-to-day activities.

Wyeth said in an interview soon after the portrait was completed, that he had “wanted the president’s face so engraved in my mind that I could place him in any situation I wanted.” Several of these candid pencil studies of the Kennedy brothers, and a color study of JFK made in preparation for his now famous portrait, will be on view at the Farnsworth this autumn. n

ON A M O U N TAIN I N MAIN E Maine’s landscape has been a source of inspiration for artists for two centuries, including its mountains from the coast to the interior. On a Mountain in Maine will explore the physical, spiritual, and cultural landscape of Maine’s mountains and the spell-binding power that has captured the public imagination as expressed through painting, poetry, and literature.

I

nspiration drawn from one’s geographic surroundings – mountains in particular – is a phenomenon that goes back centuries, even millennia, to Native American and other Shamanic cultures whose reverence and respect for mountains impacted every aspect of their daily lives. In many cultures, the power of mountains symbolize the connection between heaven and earth, referred to by noted historian Mircea Eliade as the “cosmic mountain,” invested with power by virtue of its lofty permanence, a symbolic axis mundi acting as the ladder connecting humanity with god.

Mountains such as Katahdin and the comparatively diminutive Mt. Kineo are renowned within the state of Maine for their beauty and spiritual powers.

They continue to attract seekers who travel from near and far to partake of the mountains’ beauty, glory, and wrath.

Two such seekers represented in this show are the artists Marsden Hartley (1877-1943) and Carl Sprinchorn (1887-1971). Hartley, who was born in Lewiston, Maine, believed that an artist could express emotions and spirituality through art, particularly

in the depiction of mountains. For him, mountains with their eternal rock-solid permanence and lofty grandeur represented the highest and most noble ideals of the human spirit. In Hartley’s oil painting from 1908-09, Song of Winter No. 6, his use of bold, vibrant color harnesses the energy and magnetic lure of Mt. Katahdin and speaks not only to his own spiritual beliefs but also to the influence of European modernism on his work.

Sprinchorn, who was born in Broby, Sweden, defied artistic convention of his time by fully immersing himself in his Maine subject matter. For over ten years he lived the hardscrabble life of a Maine backswoodman in a cabin on Shin Pond, at that time the last outpost of human civilization before entering the vast Katahdin wilderness, joining the rugged group of hunters and men who worked in the logging industry. It was during that time he painted his seminal 1948 work Logger’s Cabin by the Stream, one of three versions he did exploring the juncture of nature and human interaction. The setting is thought to be either a camp on the East Branch of the Penobscot River facing Billfish Mountain, or looking across Trout Brook Branch towards Burnt Mountain.

This exhibition, organized by Farnsworth Registrar Angela Waldron, will be primarily drawn from the museum’s collection, and will feature works by Fitz Henry Lane, John Joseph Enneking, Marsden Hartley, James Fitzgerald, Andrew Winter, and Carl Sprinchorn. In addition, literature such as Don Fendler’s Lost on a Mountain in Maine, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s prize winning poem Renascence, Marsden Hartley’s poetry, and Wabanaki myth and legend will be explored. n

provided a very busy year for the Wyeth Study Center staff at the Farnsworth. With several

exhibitions centering on Andrew Wyeth at the Farnsworth and across the country, staff at the

Wyeth Study Center has been preparing artwork for travel as well as giving lectures and gallery

talks supporting the Farnsworth’s Andrew Wyeth at 100 exhibitions. In addition, the updated Andrew Wyeth, Her Room, 1963, Tempera on panel Farnsworth Art Museum; Museum Purchase, 1964.1313 © 2017 Andrew Wyeth/Artists Rights Society (ARS)

The fifth and final exhibition of the Farnsworth’s celebration of Andrew Wyeth at 100 opens September 23, 2017. Andrew Wyeth: Her Room will be on exhibition in the Wyeth Study Center

Gallery through April 1, 2018. The 1963 tem-

pera, Her Room, is accompanied by a selection of preparatory studies and objects depicted in the painting. It is a must see exhibition to wrap up Andrew Wyeth at 100 at the Farnsworth!

T

.he tempera, Her Room, has done quite a bit of traveling itself. After it was purchased

by the Farnsworth in 1964, Her Room traveled to Massachusetts and was on display at the Boston

Safe and Deposit Trust Company’s main banking floor for a week prior to its debut at the Farn-

sworth. It then traveled to Queens, New York,

representing Maine in the 1964, World’s Fair Day of Maine (see photo above). Two years later Her

Room toured the country with stops in Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, and Chicago. The

1970s saw the painting return to Boston, this time for display at the Boston Museum of Fine Art

and then to San Francisco before its international debut at the National Museum of Modern Art

in Tokyo followed by another stop in Kyoto.

Her Room returned to the US in 1974 and was

exhibited in Denver and Portland, Maine before returning to display at the Farnsworth. In 1980, it crossed the Atlantic for an exhibition at the

Royal Academy of Arts in London, before returning for exhibitions in Portland, Maine and The Huntington Library, Art Collection, and Bo-

tanical Gardens. During the 90’s Her Room was

in steady rotation at the Farnsworth and then traveled to Bates College for an exhibition organized

by Andrew Wyeth’s granddaughter, Victoria in

2000. The new millennium found Her Room traveling to Atlanta, Philadelphia, Fort Wayne, Glens Falls, Kalamazoo, and Connecticut. n

Christina’s Windows RESTORING THE SOUL OF THE OLSON HOUSE

It is through the upstairs bedrooms where Wyeth set up his makeshift studio that you see the landscape he depicted in Christina’s World.

Another view from a window inspired the painting Wind From the Sea. Whether he was looking out, or looking in, the windows of the Olson House played an integral part in Andrew Wyeth’s many works at this now historic landmark. Important work has begun to restore and maintain these windows, but there is still work – and fundraising – to do.

Site of Andrew Wyeth’s iconic 1948 painting, Christina’s World and the subject of approximately 300 other works by Wyeth, the Olson House has a long history in its Cushing, Maine,

community. Over the course of almost three decades, from 1939 to 1968, Wyeth chronicled Christina and Alvaro Olson’s lives

on their farm and, by extension, the life of the house, capturing

in his work its slow deterioration and timeworn essence. When

the Farnsworth was deeded ownership of the house 26 years ago, it was greatly in need of restoration. Restoration activities at the house and on its surrounding grounds of approximately three

acres have been a priority for the museum: early on, a new wood shingle roof was installed and chimneys were repointed; more recently, a fire suppression system was installed; non-original, deteriorated clapboards on the south and east elevations and

deteriorated wood trim were replaced with historically accurate materials. Chief among remaining restoration needs are the windows, their condition a result of long-term exposure to

weather that has deteriorated their dimensions and stability. The museum will address the fragile condition of all interior and

exterior surfaces of the windows, restoring them to their original state and purpose: to protect and enhance the functionality

Free. Priceless.

Every fall, people from all over the world flock to Maine to enjoy the best of what the season has to offer. And for the seventh consecutive

year, on Saturday, October 14, the Farnsworth will do its share, hosting

the annual Fall Family Festival for over three hundred children and their families beginning at 4 p.m.

The festivities will include free-style pumpkin carving, face painting,

crafts, and live music. “An art-museum can do much more than provide a building in which to view art works on the walls,” said Farnsworth Education Director Vas Prabhu. “We feel a responsibility to engage

the community in a myriad of ways, to give them a welcoming place to

SHARE THE WONDER NOVEMBER 25, 2017

This holiday season will mark the twelfth year that the Farnsworth has invited the community to Share the

Wonder. The exhibition at the Wyeth Center, which will run from November 25 through the end of the year, will once again feature our large-scale model train set, and the one-day celebration will feature

hands-on activities, holiday music and prizes for young and old alike. Returning after a three-year hiatus will

be the Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers’ version of the 5-minute Grinch, a major crowd favorite.

“It’s easily our biggest day of the year, attendance-

wise,” commented Farnsworth Director Christopher

Brownawell. “We typically see upwards of 1,200 people in three to four hours. So many of them are families who make Share the Wonder their only visit of the

year. Share the Wonder and the Fall Festival have truly become traditions to them, opportunities to connect and to enjoy the magic of the season.

Saturday, November 25 10 am- 1pm FREE! The famous Farnsworth train display!

Hands-on activities for kids of all ages!

Back by popular demand: Frogtown Mountain Puppeteers and The 5-Minute Grinch!

“A major benefit of the events is that they bring people into the museum who otherwise might never visit.�

This past summer, the Farnsworth began its second major mural arts project in downtown Rockland, thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The new mural is located on School Street, on the south facing wall of The Grasshopper Shop—our collaborating wall-host. It was created by Rockland artist Alexis Iammarino, Canadian mural artist Melissa Luk, along with local teens, demonstrating the power of community art-making.

Community Creates Mural Only two short years after the Farnsworth went about organizing and funding a colorful mural on Oak Street in downtown Rockland, the museum’s education department began work on funding and organizing its second major mural arts project, thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Titled Water Town, the new mural is located on School Street, on the south facing wall of The Grasshopper Shop – the collaborating wall host. Created by local artist Alexis Iammarino and Canadian mural artist Melissa Luk, the mural has been realized with the talents of local teens and community volunteers.

Melissa Luk was born in Richmond, British Columbia.

After graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2012 she began making and thinking about art and how to get art into the hands and thoughts of ordinary people. She does this by making works that reach as far and freely as possible. “Mural art means painting outside. It allows people who normally don’t go in to galleries to see art being made, and to see art every day and it’s really important because then it becomes a part of their lives.”

Local teaching artist Alexis Iammarino supports a number of year-round community arts projects primarily through her studio at the Flanagan Community Building in Rockland. She works with various organizations doing community art work especially with middle- and high schoolers. “I like that it shows how talented the volunteers and the students are, that people see how capable the young artists in our community are. A project like this gives people who have never painted before encouragement to come and pick up a join in the fun.” n

DO YOU LOVE ART? DO YOU LOVE PEOPLE? We invite you to become a docent at the Farnsworth!

The docents are volunteer tour guides who lead visitors in engaging discussions about the museum’s collections and exhibitions. Serving as museum ambassadors, they are an important link to our community.

WHO ARE THE FARNSWORTH DOCENTS? Our docents are men and women from a wide variety of disciplines. What unites them is an enthusiasm for being life-long learners, engaging with the public, and the wonderful camaraderie of sharing their love of art with each other and with visitors of all ages.

WHAT IS THE COMMITMENT? Because of the ongoing and substantial time and study required of Farnsworth docents, this volunteer role tends to be a long-term commitment. Many of our docents have been working with the museum for a long time, some for more than 25 years, with the average length of service being 10 years.

HOW DO I APPLY? Prior art experience is not required to become a docent. Having an eagerness to share your love of art is a must. Training and mentoring is provided through a series of active, enjoyable, and engaging sessions.

If you are interested in becoming a Farnsworth docent, please contact Denise Mitchell, Coordinator of School and Docent Programs at 207-390-6006 or dmitchell@farnsworthmuseum.org.
