In God We Trust: Early Bible Printings from the David M. Rubenstein Americana Collection East Gallery

November 14, 2020 through January 17, 2021* and January 30 through February 28, 2021 In God We Trust: Early Bible Printings from the David M. Rubenstein Americana Collection is an extraordinary exhibition of historic American Bibles and religious texts, many of which have rarely been displayed.

The exhibition features 18 books from the Americana Collection of Mr. Rubenstein, a prominent American businessman and philanthropist. Organized by the New-York Historical Society in collaboration with Mr. Rubenstein’s library consultant, In God We Trust presents the stories of these books and the ingenuity and diversity of the early Americans who made them.

Books are among the most important evidence of what citizens of a particular nation find meaningful to them. In the early decades of the American colonies, it was the Bibles and other sacred works printed, sold, and purchased by settlers that were treasured above all. In God We Trust is at once the story of these first American printed books and the tremendous will of the early Americans who produced them. The exhibition’s centerpiece, *Closed Nov. 26, Dec. 24-25, and Jan. 1 Open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 25 and Dec. 23

“The Bay Psalm Book,” was America’s first book, produced by English settlers who brought a printing press across the ocean to be able to print in their new land. In God We Trust is a story of American diversity, with examples of Bibles printed in what is now the U.S. in a variety of languages such as English, German, Hebrew, and Algonquian, reflecting the range of religious denominations present in America from early on. The exhibition also tells the story of unique American traditions, like the use of a Bible for presidents to swear the oath of office on Inauguration Day, and of the nation’s evolution towards greater inclusivity, with the first Bibles printed and translated by women.

Presented in beautiful custom-built display cases, the books are accompanied by rich narratives about their writers, printers, bookbinders, and publishers.

Visitors to the exhibition will also enjoy listening to music from one of the books. This is hymn music, recorded by students from Palm Beach Atlantic University’s School of Music & Fine Arts, from the first American book of music printed from type.

The exhibition includes displays about letterpress printing and the art of bookmaking created by IS Projects, a public access printmaking and book arts studio in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence North, Main, and South Galleries

November 14, 2020 through January 17, 2021* Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence showcases a new form of bead art, the ndwango, developed by a community of women living and working together in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The six artists featured in the exhibition call their paintings in beads ndwangos, which translates as “cloth” or “rag.” The black fabric on which the Ubuhle women work is reminiscent of the Xhosa headscarves and skirts which many of them grew up wearing.

By stretching this textile like a canvas, the artists transform the flat cloth into a contemporary art form colored with Czech glass beads. *Closed Nov. 26, Dec. 24-25, and Jan. 1 Open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 25 and Dec. 23

Fine Arts

Using skills handed down through generations, and working in their own unique style “directly from the soul,” according to artist Ntombephi Ntobela, the women create abstract as well as figurative subjects for their ndwangos.

Ubuhle means “beauty” in the Xhosa and Zulu languages and it describes the shimmering quality of light on glass that for the Xhosa people has a particular spiritual significance. From a distance each panel seems to be formed from a continuous surface, but as each tiny individual bead catches the light, the viewer becomes aware of the meticulous skill that went into each work and the scale of ambition: a single panel can take more than 10 months to complete. The exhibition is accompanied by a free souvenir Gallery Guide created by the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum in Washington, DC.

Charles and Jackson Pollock North, Main, and South Galleries

January 30 through March 28, 2021 Charles Pollock (b. Denver, Colorado, 1902–1988) was the eldest of five boys (his youngest brother was Jackson, b. Cody, Wyoming, 1912–1956). Charles moved to New York in 1926 to study under Regionalist painter Thomas Hart Benton at the Art Students League and in 1930 persuaded 18-year-old Jackson to join him.

Each was strongly influenced by Benton and both were admirers of the Mexican muralists, but while Charles adopted Benton’s American scene painting, Jackson was more interested in the symbolic and mythical content of the Mexicans.

Their pursuits diverged but each found a path towards abstraction. Charles worked for the Resettlement Administration and Federal Arts Project before settling in East Lansing, where he taught at Michigan State University for nearly three decades.

Jackson stayed in New York and was central to the development of Abstract Expressionism, the first American avant-garde of international influence: his ‘myth’ paintings in the early 1940s inspired by Native American art, Picasso and Miró; the patronage of Peggy Guggenheim from 1943 onwards; from 1943 his practice of semi-figured abstraction on outsize canvases of ‘all-over’ compositions; from 1947 his radical technique of dripped and poured painting.

Charles’ transition to abstraction came later; he developed an abstract visual vocabulary in the mid-1940s, and painted powerful images, defined by Clement Greenberg as ‘color-field’, until his death in Paris in 1988.

Fine Arts

In addition to approximately 70 paintings and works on paper by ‘Pollock the Elder’, the exhibition presents a small, even intimate selection of works revealing a Jackson Pollock little known to the general public: paintings, drawings including one of only two surviving notebooks of the 1950s (only once shown in public before), his sole surviving sculpture, virtually his entire production of prints (monotypes, etchings produced in the studio of Stanley William Hayter and silkscreens of his ‘black paintings’ created with the help of another brother, Sanford McCoy), and a pair of low four-legged, paint-spattered stools immortalized in photographs by Hans Namuth and Arnold Newman of Pollock at work in his long Island barn-studio.

“Around Dvořák” A festival featuring three performances organized by David Finckel and Wu Han, with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Experience a week devoted to one of history’s most beloved composers, Antonín Dvořák. The famed creator of the New World Symphony was also the composer of a great number of definitive, masterful chamber works that constitute a significant portion of our standard repertoire. In looking and listening “around” Dvořák, we’ll encounter those who influenced him (Johannes Brahms and Bedřich Smetana) as well as those inspired by his mastery (Josef Suk and Harry Burleigh). And we’ll hear their music surrounded by an assemblage of Dvořák’s most heartfelt romantic work, both classics and novelties.

Slavonic and Hungarian Dances of folk-like vigor cement a pairing of chamber music masterpieces.

Dvořák’s “Dumky” Trio, a fond farewell to his homeland before his departure to America, and his mighty Piano Quintet (considered one of the “big three” along with those by Schumann and Brahms) combine to provide an essential Dvořák experience.

Czech violinist Josef Suk captured Dvořák’s admiration and the hand of his daughter in marriage. Suk’s famed Op. 1 Piano Quartet, which so impressed Dvořák, opens this program with unbridled passion, followed by Brahms’ foreboding work for the same ensemble, graced with one of history’s most beautiful cello solos. After intermission, the ensemble returns with Dvořák's Piano Quartet.

This program frames Dvořák with his ancestor and descendent: Bedřich Smetana, the acknowledged “father” of Czech music, and Harry Burleigh, the student at New York’s National Conservatory who taught Dvořák African American spirituals which informed some of his works. For the vocal set of Dvořák’s Gypsy Songs, Wu Han will be joined by a mezzosoprano from Palm Beach Opera.

Allen Susser, Green Fig and Lionfish: Sustainable Caribbean Cooking

On the eve of turning 50, newspaper columnist Mark Woods decided to spend a year with his family visiting the national parks, from Jan. 1 in Maine to Dec. 31 in Hawaii. But when Woods’ mother was diagnosed with cancer and given just months to live, a book intended to be about the future of the national parks grew into one about family, the parks, the legacies we inherit, and the ones we leave behind.

Chef Allen Susser, dubbed the “Ponce de León of New Florida Cooking” by the New York Times, expertly and effectively teaches us how to blend the spices of the Caribbean into our cooking while using easy-to-understand techniques. His latest cookbook features lionfish, which have been threatening the balance of marine life and damaging coral reefs, with recipes flexible enough for any kind of seafood.

Dear Edward

Metropolitan Stories

A twelve-year-old, the sole survivor of a large plane crash, struggles to find his place in the world without his family. Ann Napolitano’s novel is a transcendent coming-of-age story and a breathtaking illustration of all the ways a broken heart learns to love again.

Christine Coulson’s surreal love letter to the private side of the Metropolitan Museum of Art unfolds in a series of amusing and poignant vignettes in which we discover larger-than-life characters, the downside of survival, and the powerful voices of the art itself.

The Age of Light

The Testaments

Whitney Scharer’s novel covers the story of Vogue model-turned-renowned-photographer Lee Miller, and her search to forge a new identity. Her journey takes us from the cabarets of 1930s Paris to the battlefields of war-torn Europe during World War II.

Fifteen years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood reveals the innermost workings of the Republic of Gilead. Three women are forced to come to terms with who they are, and how far they are willing to go for what they believe.

The Book of Lost Names

The Dutch House

In World War II, a woman forges identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland, keeping a codebook of their true identities, in Kristen Harmel’s testament to the resilience of humanity, the power of bravery, and love in the face of evil.

Ann Patchett’s dark fairy tale features two smart people who cannot overcome their past. This story of a paradise lost is a tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance, love and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves, and of who we really are.
