ART TALK

FROM THE

DIRECTOR

Take a minute and imagine an unfinished and ugly painting. Now imagine it being one of your favorite Impressionist works by one of the masters–Degas, Cassatt, Monet, or others. In the late 19th and early 20th century, artists experimented with this new style and the status-quo did not like what they saw, calling them ugly and unfinished. It was a rebellion in the world of art.

En plein air painting was seen as revolutionary. Leaving the studio and painting the everyday in the outdoor air was new.

This style devoted to color, light and vision was shocking, as it replaced what has been referred to as the “brown gravy” school of landscape–the often dark and heavily varnished works that were common at the time. American collectors and artists were among the first to recognize the beauty and strength in these new works. Impressionism came “across the pond” both in collections and by influence on generations of painters. The exhibition we are celebrating this spring, Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism though the French Lens, celebrates this triumph of art and the joining of cultures through painting.

In our galleries, we also continue to celebrate our large, growing and changing collections and we highlight important new artists. Matt Wedel is an exciting and talented ceramic sculptor. His large-scale works and pedestal pieces are expressive with a big impact. Wedel’s work is presented in partnership with the LSU School of Art, and he will be here as a visiting artist this spring.

As you tour the galleries, be on the lookout for new acquisitions labels on the wall. Works in a variety of media and styles are rotated throughout the galleries during the year.

The recent changes in the Art in Louisiana entry gallery, the portrait gallery and the contemporary gallery are some of the places to be explored as you encounter new works and new contexts for continuing works in our galleries.

This extraordinary exhibition, drawn entirely from the collection of the Reading Public Museum, explores the path to Impressionism through the nineteenth century and the complex relationship between French Impressionism of the 1870s and 80s and the American interpretation of the style in the decades that followed.

More than seventy-five paintings and works on paper help tell the story of the new style of painting that developed at the end of the nineteenth century—one that emphasized light and atmospheric conditions, rapid or loose brushstrokes and a focus on brightly colored scenes from everyday life. Two of the artists featured in the exhibition are Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt, who exhibited in the official Impressionist exhibitions in Paris in the 1870s and 80s. Among the earliest American artists to embrace the style were John Singer Sargent, William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman, Childe Hassam and Frank W. Benson.

Additional American artists who embraced the style by the turn of the century include Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, Robert Spencer, Arthur Watson Sparks, Robert Lewis Reid, William Paxton, Chauncey Ryder, Frederick John Mulhaupt and Guy Wiggins.

INNOVATING PROGRAMS WITH ART BRIDGES

Across the Atlantic came with a special opportunity to convene with other museums hosting this exhibition to strategize about programming initiatives. Generous programming support through the Art Bridges Foundation will allow LSU MOA to innovate existing programs with a focus on access, engagement and sustained impact.

ACCESS. LSU MOA will test new collaborations and locations by targeting BREC parks and bus stops to integrate art into everyday experiences and reach new audiences beyond Neighborhood Arts Project’s (NAP) regularly scheduled summer locations.

ENGAGEMENT. LSU MOA offers gallery discussions and hands-on art making to k-5 students on an almost daily basis, but Art Bridges funding will allow LSU MOA also to focus on high school and elder-care groups and extend the experience to include an instructor back at their facility to lead a plein air painting session. In-gallery technology will foster deeper connections with artwork and among visitors.

SUSTAINED IMPACT. Support will allow LSU MOA to build new collaborations with community organizations and university faculty and students that will grow future programs and audiences. Planned exhibition evaluations will help LSU MOA develop future programming models.

In anticipation of the upcoming exhibition, LSU MOA welcomed 40 fine art faculty from the East Baton Rouge Parish School District for a professional development day on January 9th.

Teachers toured the galleries considering how to incorporate artwork into lesson plans while also learning about works in Across the Atlantic.

Teachers planned lessons collaboratively and participated in hands-on activities based on the upcoming exhibition. Several teachers booked extended tours for their high school classes, which will include plein air sessions back at their school, made possible by Art Bridges.

K-12 lesson plans for incorporating Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism through the French Lens are available to download off the LSU Museum of Art’s Education page.

Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism through the French Lens is supported locally by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lamar III. Programming is generously supported by Art Bridges. Additional local exhibition support is from Taylor Porter, Virginia and John Noland, Lamar Advertising and Annual Exhibition Fund donors. Across the Atlantic: American Impressionism Through the French Lens is organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading, PA. www.lsumoa.org

MATT WEDEL ON THE VERGE

On view April 4 through September 29, 2019

On April 4, 2019, LSU Museum of Art presents Matt Wedel: On the Verge, an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by LSU School of Art Reilly Visiting Artist Matt Wedel. Wedel’s often remarkably large-scale ceramic works explore culture and nature and push materials and forms to the verge of collapse. Visually and conceptually, Wedel’s sculpture collapses boundaries between painting, sculpture and ceramics. His flower and landscape forms seem burdened by scale and color. The drooping forms suggest the pressure of culture encroaching on landscape to ultimately form a “poetic narration of collapse.”

Matt Wedel: On the Verge is on view April 4, 2019 through September 29, 2019.

PUBLIC LECTURE Wednesday, April 3 5 p.m.

LSU College of Art & Design

This exhibition is a collaboration between the LSU College of Art & Design, the LSU School of Art and LSU Museum of Art. Support is provided by The Winifred and Kevin P. Reilly Jr. Fund. Additional support is provided by the following Annual Exhibition Fund donors: The Imo N. Brown Memorial Fund in memory of Heidel Brown and Mary Ann Brown; Louisiana CAT; Charles Schwing; Alma Lee, H.N. and Cary Saurage Fund; Newton B. Thomas Family/Newtron Group; Mrs. Elizabeth M. Thomas and Mr. and Mrs. Sanford A. Arst.

REILLY VISITING ARTIST RESIDENCY

TWO YEARS OF COLLABORATION Artist Julie Heffernan’s visit and 2017 exhibition When the Water Rises: Recent Paintings by Julie Heffernan laid the groundwork for the collaborative initiative that became the Reilly Visiting Artist Residency. In 2018, LSU Museum of Art and LSU School of Art committed to collaborating annually to extend the stay of one visiting artist selected by faculty and feature that artist’s work in LSU MOA galleries. The Reilly Residency kicked off with Carrie Mae Weems’s campus visits and The Usual Suspects exhibition. Both the Weems and Heffernan projects have resulted in nationally touring exhibitions and collaborative publications by LSU Museum of Art and the School of Art’s Graphic Design Student Office (GDSO). LSU School of Art Director Rod Parker summed up the value of this initiative: The partnership has been growing in reach and effectiveness for many years.

The Reilly Residency represents a quantum leap in what we can accomplish together. We’ve been able to pool resources, plan ahead and bring exceptional artists of national stature for longer visits. This has resulted in deeper engagements with students on campus and with the community.

Each year the School of Art Faculty nominate artists who will visit LSU and present a public lecture. An average of six artists are selected by the School of Art Development Committee, which consists of faculty as well as LSU MOA’s curator. One top-ranked artist who aligns with LSU MOA’s exhibition program is selected for the Reilly Visiting Artist Residency.

In April, 2019 Reilly Visiting Artist Matt Wedel will visit LSU’s campus for a two-week residency. During this time he will work directly with ceramics students, offering lectures, critiques and demostrations while completing his own work in LSU’s studios. In addition to the School of Art lecture, LSU MOA visitors can meet Wedel during the opening reception, which will feature a Q&A with the artist, LSU Ceramics professor Andy Shaw and curator Courtney Taylor. Matt Wedel will lead a demonstration at LSU ceramics studios on April 11th for museum members and guests. LSU ceramics MFA student, Katherine Robbins, will lead a collaborative clay art activity at the April 18th Third Thursday.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS

ART IN LOUISIANA

If you visited LSU MOA’s permanent collection exhibition, Art in Louisiana: Views into the Collection, today, you would find thirteen recent acquisitions integrated into four of the six Art in Louisiana galleries.

In the introductory gallery you can find a recently acquired photograph by Carrie Mae Weems (1), a pen-and-ink drawing by Walter Inglis Anderson and a photograph by Jonathan Bachman of the 2016 demonstrations in Baton Rouge (2). Portraits by Selina Bres Gregory and George Dureau now hang in the Newcomb and Portrait galleries respectively. In the Modern & Contemporary gallery are many recent acquisitions, including four photographs by Robert von Sternberg (3), a sculpture by Martin Payton, two prints by Malaika Favorite (4) and an abstract painting by Ed Pramuk. These new works represent diverse growth in our collection across media, styles, periods and artistic perspectives.

The Modern & Contemporary gallery was entirely re-installed at the close of 2018 and now features a painting by New Orleans artist Larry Nevil that has never been on view, favorites such as Hunt Slonem’s Hutch and Dawn Dedeaux’s Over Six Feet of Water, and works by LSU faculty Michaelene Walsh and Kelli Scott Kelley.

MLK DAY AT GARDERE NEIGHBORHOOD ARTS PROJECT For several years, LSU Museum of Art has worked with the Gardere Iniative for our Neighborhood Arts Project (NAP) throughout the year. One of the special moments we share with the community is the annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Initiative. This year we worked with LSU School of Art MFA and undergraduate students and students from Catholic High School to lead the art programming during NAP. Children and teens were able to learn and play with hand-building techniques in clay, relief printing on a press, participate in a sculpture challenge, beading and painting on a large scale.

Big thanks to the volunteers from the Gardere Initiative, LSU School of Art and students from Catholic High for being a part of NAP. Neighborhood Arts Project is made possible with the support of the following community partners: Office of Mayor President Sharon Weston Broome, Louisiana CAT and the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge.

Interested in volunteering or working with the Neighborhood Arts Project? Contact Grant Benoit, gbenoit1@lsu.edu, for more opportunities.

DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE SOIRÉE

AT THE UNIVERSITY RESIDENCE

The Director’s Circle Soirée held January 24, 2019 was a resounding success. Jan and Sandford Arst, Beth and Butler Fuller, Susannah and Neil Johannsen and Jacki and Brian Schneider hosted the Soirée. The event celebrated the generous and passionate philanthropy of the LSU MOA Director’s Circle. Members of the LSU MOA Advisory Board and Friends of the LSU MOA, LSU College of Art & Design Dean’s Circle and LSU School of Art attended. We would like to thank everyone for their support of our mission.

LSU MOA Advisory Board Chair Mr. Brian Schneider gave a short but vital talk on the importance of being a passionate member and giving of your time, talent and treasure. Our Executive Director, Daniel E. Stetson, related two poignant stories of the impact of the museum’s programs and how the work of the museum changes lives.

The Soirée featured our Adopt-a-Work Conservation Program. A total of $5,000 was raised for Judith Cooper, Flamingo Cowboy, adopted by Brian and Jacki Schneider; Alberta Kinsey, Antique Shop, adopted by Beth and Butler Fuller & Becky and Warren Gottsegen; Jose’ Clemente Orozco, Caroline Durieux, adopted by Linda and Bob Bowsher; 10 small Hogarth prints, adopted by Councilman Matt Watson; and 10 small Durieux prints, adopted by Lisa Doyle-Avant and Michael Avant. Nancy and Cary Dougherty and Susannah and Neil Johannsen also pledged gifts for the program.

The Friends of the LSU Museum of Art provided the gorgeous flowers by Lance Hayes and music by the LSU Student Jazz Combo. Margo E. Bouanchaud, Inc. catered the event. We thank the LSU President’s office for allowing us to use the University Residence for this event.

The LSU Museum store honors the legacy of respected botanical artist Margaret Stones.

Stones, who recently passed in December 2018, served as the principal illustrator for Curtis’s Botanical Magazine of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, for twenty-five years.

Her extensive career garnered numerous awards and honors worldwide and set a new standard for botanical illustration.

In conjunction with the American bicentennial celebration in 1976, LSU commissioned Stones to create six watercolor renderings of Louisiana flora. The work was so well received that it resulted in requests to produce a larger collection of the state’s native plants, which are currently maintained in the LSU Libraries’ E. A. McIlhenny Natural History Collection.

Today, the LSU Museum Store has three limited-edition prints by Stones along with a recently produced folio edition from LSU Press, Native Flora of Louisiana, featuring the complete collection of her Louisiana illustrations on archival, acid-free paper.
