and to all, a happy and healthy

2014! If you’re looking for something new and fresh to see and do in the New Year, you’ve come to the right place! We are excited to share news of some very special shows opening in the next few months. Our feature coverage begins with two highly transformative shows we think are sure to impress. Site-specific installations by two Central Florida artists will immerse viewers in a captivating mix of art environments (Site Specifics: Installations by Dan Gunderson & Barbara Sorensen, on pg. 8). In a truly inspirational group exhibition, artists from the US and Canada cleverly transform everyday materials into extraordinary works of art (Material Transformations, on pg. 58). Next, we time travel back to the 17th and 18th centuries to relive the golden age of European painting in a stunning exhibition of major works by master painters from the renowned collection of The Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky (Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting, on pg. 74). And get ready to smile as we enter the world of Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote, tracing the artistic development of some familiar cartoon characters who have captured the hearts of millions, spanning generations (The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons, on pg. 120). All this and much more ahead...Cheers!

DAN GUNDERSON has been a professor of art at Stetson University for more than 35 years. Having spent 30 years almost exclusively in ceramics, his current works visually express his observation of pop culture in a variety of mediums. “I’ve always been a collector of well-designed, unique objects: old toys, American Indian crafts, ceramics, and in recent years, pop culture images such as cartoon characters and super heroes. The later objects have led me to understand our present civilization, and even past history, through products made in a particular era. All of us have a mental warehouse of memories. My desire is to trigger memories from that warehouse upon seeing an object or character remembered from one’s past. I am always experimenting. My most recent materials challenge me in learning to use new tools and processes of working with mediums I have not previously explored. In the past, clay was a predominant medium for me, but over the years, I have incorporated metal, wood, granite, and plastic. Lately, I’ve used toys as “building blocks,” assembling them into simple recognizable symbols—an example is the Above left: Dan Gunderson.

piece, Electric, from my Toys Are Us series. I like to alter reality and invent new experiences, making the unbelievable seem believable. Through enhanced perspective, I create a visual illusion which allows the viewer to peer into a futuristic environment. This illusion is also the result of the interplay between the scene and the performance. The scenes appear to penetrate infinitely inward, creating more space than actually exists. Threads that reoccur consistently throughout my work are symmetry, humor, optical kinetics, and simplicity of form and color. The ultimate goal of my art, as a visual performance, is to share my celebration of life with others.”—D. Gunderson Dan Gunderson has had solo exhibitions in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Washington, DC. His work is held in the collections of The Ringling Museum in Sarasota; the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, NC; and the Erie Art Museum, PA. He has received numerous awards, including a Florida Individual Artist Fellowship.

BARBARA SORENSEN is known for creating monumental sculptural installations that draw on geological formations and classical elements, but recently she has turned her energies toward large-scale environmental vessels constructed of metals and resins as well as new, experimental mixed-media prints and two-dimensional works. Often interconnected and chromatically bold, the new series emerge from and focus on her sense of the relationships between human and landscape. Sorensen discovered clay, an ideal medium for her interest

in textural plasticity, as an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin. After completing her degree there, Sorensen went on to work with mentors, Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner, Don Reitz, Rudy Autio, and others who were pushing the medium in fresh, sculptural directions. Today, she continues to evolve and expand her concerns in the series of works that explore her enduring interests: the natural environment and conceptual notions of the vessel. “Sorensen’s ulti-

Sorensen’s works breathe with this truth and in turn, convey it to us.” —Eleanor Heartney, Art Critic. Sorensen’s work is in numerous museum, corporate and private collections, including the Cornell Fine Arts Museum in Winter Park; Florida State Capitol Art Collection; City of Orlando; City of Winter Park; Orlando Shakespeare Theater; Neiman Marcus Corporation; and The White House Collection, Washington, DC. Her work has been showcased at the Aspen Art Museum, CO; Mennello Museum of American Art in Orlando; San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, TX; Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, TX; University of Wisconsin-Madison; and the Museum of Fine Arts in St Petersburg. Sorensen’s recent one-person shows have been at Orlando Museum of Art; Racine Museum of Art, WI; Kouros Gallery in New York; 212 Gallery in Aspen; Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton; Museum of Art-DeLand, Florida; and Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art in Tarpon Springs.

Material Transformations

The MUSEUM of CONTEMPORARY ART Jacksonville presents Material Transformations, a truly inspiring exhibition, organized by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts,

Montgomery, Alabama, featuring seven artists from around the US and Canada who cleverly transform everyday materials

into extraordinary works of art. The show will be on view from January 25 through April 6, 2014.

Material Transformations

Angela Ellsworth Angela Ellsworth is an American multidisciplinary artist whose paintings, drawings, installations and performances explore the female body in its various contexts and constraints. Her work considers subjects such as physical fitness, endurance, social ritual, religious tradition, performance art and American colonial history. Ellsworth’s Seer Bonnets: A Continuing Offense (2009-2010), refers to her rejected Mormon heritage presented through series of antiquated pioneer women’s bonnets, constructed out of thousands of pearl-tipped corsage pins embedded into fabric with their points directed inwards. The small, fetish-like objects not only refer to the tradition of craft work in the home—women’s work—but also stand as disembodied memorials to the lives suffering cruelty, submission and control.

Material Transformations Thread of Life

Lucrecia Troncoso Lucrecia Troncoso questions perceptions of materiality as she seeks to record natural phenomena through the manipulation of familiar yet elusive materials such as sponges, wire, soap and paper in her installation-based works. “My work assumes a deep respect for a material’s intrinsic qualities and evocative attributes, and moves away from representation. Thus, materials are put through a kind of product and endurance test, emphasizing and transforming their initial, marketable purposes, silencing and simultaneously amplifying them.” —L. Troncoso

Alison Foshee Over the past 15 years, Alison Foshee has been exploring the artistic potential of everyday stuff. Thumbnails and pushpins burst into extravagant floral arrangements, staples trace the jagged contour of a leaf, and office labels spin out in hot, firecracker explosions. “I enjoy working these raw materials with the geeky intensity of a Rubik’s cube puzzle master and relish the challenge of finding new meanings in objects that have become banal. In the process, I try to reveal something about the materials original function that will inform its new shape and content.”—A. Foshee

Rune Olsen Through installations, sculptures, and flat-works, Rune Olsen conducts sociologically informed investigations into the corporeal and mental boundaries of desire, power structures and society. He started creating sculptures using newspaper, tape, and graphite more than ten years ago after searching for basic materials that are as primal as his subject matter. His beautifully composed, often shocking, sculptures convey the intensity and urgency of instinctual behavior that is both seductive and transformative.

the Golden Age of Painting this exhibition was produced. Religious upheavals changed the way people thought about and utilized art. Trade routes to faraway lands, such as China and India, became more established, ensuring a steady stream of exotic goods for European consumers. Advances in the sciences transformed longheld views on the way the universe worked and the place of humans within that universe. Technical aspects of art making were honed and codified, as art academies grew in number and power. These exciting times resulted in a golden age of European painting. The number of artists and the number of art collectors grew exponentially during this period, as the fine arts reached an increasingly wider audience. During the seventeenth century, a wealthy merchant class arose that could afford to have these beautiful paintings made Jacob van Ruisdael, Landscape with a Half-Timbered House and a Blasted Tree, 1653, oil on canvas, 26-5/8 x 32-3/8 x 7/8â&#x20AC;?, Collection of The Speed Art Museum, Museum purchase

Created in a time before photography, the paintings show a devotion to realistic portrayal of life, from the details of a hand to elaborate and meticulously rendered silks and velvets, which were highly valued at the time. The exhibition features art from Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, and England, and is comprised of brilliant portraits, religious paintings, landscapes, scenes of everyday life, still lifes, and interpretations of classical antiquity. Highlights of the exhibition include The Princes of the Church Adoring the Eucharist by Rubens and Portrait of a Forty-Year-Old Woman by Rembrandt.

Botanic Garden in Coral Gables presents a new exhibition of sculptural works in wood by artist, Hugo França, during the 2013-2014 season of Design at Fairchild, part of Fairchild’s highly acclaimed annual visual art program, Art at Fairchild—a celebration of art and culture. The exhibition is curated by Cristina Grajales of the Cristina Grajales Gallery in New York, and will be on display through May 31, 2014. One of the world’s preeminent botanic gardens, Fairchild features extensive collections of rare tropical plants, including palms, cycads, flowering trees, tropical fruit trees, vines, and succulents. The 83acre garden is among the Miami area’s most popular visitor attractions, offering tours along with a variety of programs in environmental education, conservation and horticulture. Design at Fairchild has supported cultural enrichment and a connection between the arts and sciences since its inception in 2012. The program sets beautiful design pieces against

the lush tropical landscape of the Garden to link art, design and nature together in harmony. Based in Brazil, Hugo França uses all natural materials to create functional and sustainable design pieces, often tables and seating. Each piece uses reclaimed wood from felled, burned or dead trees found in Brazil. By working them into functional designs, França gives new life and purpose to the salvaged material. The stunning scale of França’s pieces helps draw attention to his message of sustainability. Giving viewers the opportunity to experience the raw power of a tree as a functional object in a home or public space can inspire the creative spirit and instill a newfound respect for the natural world. After studying industrial engineering at the university in his hometown in Brazil, França yearned for a more rural existence and moved to the jungle in northeastern Brazil. He lived with the indigenous people of Bahia, where he learned unique woodworking techniques. His extremely labor-

intensive works are primarily carved from the Pequi tree, a gigantic oleaginous tree, which averages 148 feet in height and 10 feet in diameter. França hand-carves each piece he designs, sometimes opening grooves in the wood, other times refining it to rediscover curves that highlight the tree’s organic forms. Viewers can experience all the details of the wood used, from the texture to the color to the shape. The process for making Hugo Franca’s work aligns itself with the central concept of his work—his preoccupation with not wasting wood and the belief that there are infinite possibilities in reclaiming this material. Finding wood left behind by deforestation requires constant scouting in the Tron-

Inspired by travel and almost weekly visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Webb created distinctly modern, Pop-art-spins on historical forms and techniques from across the globe. Webb also worked closely with celebrity clients, like Doris Duke and Elizabeth Taylor, to create unique, bespoke pieces. “The Norton Museum of Art is thrilled to present the first retrospective of David Webb’s work,” said Hope Alswang, Executive Director of the Norton Museum of Art. “His story is truly an American one of self-invention, and his groundbreaking designs not only captured the spirit of his time, but continue to influence jewelry design today.” David Webb: Society’s Jeweler is organized into three themes: Aesthetics, which explores g a z i n e

Born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina, David Webb began designing jewelry as a young boy. He apprenticed in his uncle’s silversmith shop and learned metal smithing techniques. Webb arrived in New York at the young age of seventeen and got a job repairing jewelry in Greenwich Village. Blond, handsome, and positively brimming with Southern charm, Webb navigated his way through New York society r c h

Movie sirens, Ava Gardner and Lana Turner, wore their David Webb jewelry both on and off the big screen.

Webb necklace on the cover of Vogue epitomized the best of that glamorous style period. At the height of production Webb’s two full-time workshops employed 200 jewelers and 37 setters. In 1963, he opened a retail salon at 6 East 57th Street, where he remained until his untimely death at age 50 in 1975. The store, now at 942 Madison Avenue, continues to carry on Webb’s legacy of fine craftsmanship. O n V iew OnV

freedom to experiment and pursue new directions to advance their practice, matched with an exceptionally talented staff, has attracted world-class contemporary artists to the USF campus. Their collaborative projects have produced print editions and multiples at the forefront of contemporary art.

GRAPHICSTUDIO: Uncommon Practice at USF

USF Distinguished Professor Emeritus, Donald J. Saff, founded Graphicstudio in 1968. Other Directors have included David Yager, Alan Eaker and Hank Hine. In 2001, Graphicstudio merged with the Contemporary Art Museum and Public Art Program to form the Institute for Research in Art, and Professor Margaret A. Miller was appointed Director. Through the years, Graphicstudio has received popular and critical acclaim for its innovative approach to artistic collaboration and technical advancements. Fueled by the renaissance in American printmaking in the 1960s, Saff led his team to develop new processes and treatments of traditional printmaking.

stein, Robert Rauschenberg and James Rosenquist produced large-scale lithographs and mixed-media works. A new process for printing encaustic waxes, called “waxtype,” was developed specifically for Roy Lichtenstein. Relief, the oldest printmaking process, was transformed by using photographically generated stencils which allowed for fine detail, resulting in a technique known as “heliorelief.” Deli Sacilotto, retired Director of Research, expanded the 19th century photogravure process to allow for the hand printing of unusually large images, as well as four-color photogravures. Chuck Close, Robert Mapplethorpe, Vik Muniz, Ed Ruscha, William Wegman,

and others, have used the photogravure process to advance new concepts and approaches to their work. The studio has invited artists to use the 19th century cameraless cyanotype process in new ways, producing astounding,

sion. Innovative sculpture multiples produced include Robert Rauschenberg’s mixed-media editions for his R.O.C.I. project (Rauschenberg Overseas Cultural Interchange) and cast bronze sculptures by Roy Lichtenstein. Hank Hine produced OnV

unique book projects with George Baselitz, Ed Ruscha and Kiki Smith among others. In recent years, Miller has reemphasized sculpture production, and the studio fabricators have researched and developed innovative techniques in bronze casting for Louise Bourgeois, Diana Al-Hadid and Esterio Segura; wood constructions for Los Carpinteros and Allan McCollum; cast resin projects for Roxy Paine and Trenton Doyle Hancock; poured basalt forms for Keith Edmier; and water-jet cut, polished stainless steel sculptures for Teresita Fernández. Digital technologies have also been utilized for research and the production of both traditional print and sculpture editions. Use of digital output of films for print processes and rapid prototyping for 3D multiples provide artists with technically advanced tools to expand their research and practice. Graphicstudio has served a variety of constituencies from its inception. Students and faculty have benefited from educational and professional interac-

tion with visiting artists. Participants in the Research Partners Program collect significant art while supporting research and educational commitments. In 1990, an archive of Graphicstudio’s publications was established at the National Gallery of Art (NGA) in Washington, DC, which presented a comprehensive exhibition. Graphicstudio’s editions continue to be acquired by leading museums and collectors, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New York Public Library and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

The ART of WARNER BROS. Cartoons

Discover the secrets of how

America’s favorite cartoons pioneered a new kind of animated humor in The Art of Warner Bros. Cartoons, created by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY, opening January 25 and running through March 23, 2014, at the Orange County Regional History Center in Orlando. Learn about the creative process that gave birth to Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, and their comrades, and turned these entertaining animated short films into a cultural phenomenon. Since 1930, “Looney Tunes” and “Merrie Melodies” have delighted audiences of all ages with their wit and surprising sophistication. Such Warner Bros. phrases as “What’s up, Doc?,” “That’s All Folks!,” “I Taut I Taw a Putty-Tat,” “Suf-

ferin’ Succotash!,” and “You’re Dethpicable!” have become part of the national vocabulary. Consisting of over 160 drawings, paintings, “cels,” and related objects used in the making of Warner’s classic cartoons from the 1930s through 1960, The

Porky Pig premiered on the silver screen in 1935, which started the phenomenal rise of Warner Bros. animation production. The stuttering pudgy pig developed in a few years into an amiable and eager, if a little naive, everyman, who often ends up being taken for a ride by others. Porky Pig gained his reputation in the sometimes surrealistic worlds created by the writers and animators of Warner Bros. Porky’s antagonist was often Daffy Duck. Their joint appearances started in 1937 (Porky’s Duck Hunt). OnV

Tweety and Sylvester had their separate careers independent of each other, but the very first joint appearance in 1947 (Tweetie Pie, in which Sylvester still goes under the name Thomas), won an Oscar for best short animation. This marked the beginning of the success story of these two eternal enemies. The basic plot is clearcut: a large black-and-white cat chasing a tiny yellow canary. Tweety, baby-like with those large eyes and baby talk, always beats the large, slightly simple cat hands down with her savvy and often quite excessive physical violence. OnV

The ART of WARNER BROS. Cartoons

Cartoons is felt in many corners of popular culture. Under the early influence of the Disney studio, animation had been soft, sentimental, and storybookish—aimed exclusively at a children’s audience. Warner Bros. did the complete opposite and modernized animation, creating cartoons that were brash and reckless. With striking frequency, the Warner Bros. writers devised stories

of brilliant invention, while the studio’s directors masterfully executed them. But the Warner Bros. cartoons did not come alive without the talents of gifted animators, painters, and designers. The Washington Post described them as “men who well may qualify as among the century’s great humorists, (who) made an invaluable contribution to the culture that only in recent years has begun to receive the

from several months to over one year, with a few dozen artists working on different stages of the highly collaborative process. Several distinct units worked separately on cartoons at Warner Bros. studio, with an entire workforce of 200 people during the years of the heaviest production. Warner Bros. Cartoons involved a substantial amount of work because they were made in â&#x20AC;&#x153;full animationâ&#x20AC;? using many thousands of drawings for each short. As a

Like many comic and cartoon heroes, Bugs Bunny started off as a sidekick. Very soon, however, in the early 1940s, the streetwise bunny became one of the most popular cartoon characters of all time. Bugs Bunny usually appears alongside, that is to say, competes with, Daffy Duck, Sylvester, and Elmer Fudd, the persistent but hapless hunter. Constantly chewing on his carrots, Bugs is the one who, in the end, always carries the day. Whatever happens, this clever, self-assured bunny has the situation under control. Bugs Bunny has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and he has been crowned the greatest cartoon character on several occasions. OnV

Daffy Duck is one of the first ever screwball heroes in cartoons. He is reckless, feisty, and with seemingly endless energy. These qualities were made use of in wartime shorts to drum up fighting spirit against the enemy. In the 1950s, Daffy Duck turned into an anti-hero, a rebellious outsider, loud and cocky, and always up for a new venture—no holds barred. Daffy Duck was Bugs Bunny’s best friend but also his eternal nemesis. One of Bugs Bunny’s creators, Chuck Jones, a legendary Warner Bros. director and animator, said he made Bugs Bunny represent his aspirations—what he would like to be—but he feared he was more like Daffy.

presents Warhol: Art. Fame. Mortality., the first major nonDalí exhibit at the Museum since it opened its new building along St. Petersburg’s waterfront in 2011. The exhibition explores how Andy Warhol learned from Dalí’s public visibility and was equally attuned to the images derived from mass culture. Warhol: Art. Fame. Mortality. considers Warhol’s little commented on engagement with other artists through his own painting; how he constructed an approach to the image in terms of celebrity and fame; and finally, his treatment of painting and image in terms of human mortality. The show includes approximately 35 paintings, 20 drawings, 50 photographs, and a selection of Warhol films, including screen tests. The featured works are on loan from The Warhol Museum, which opened in 1994 in Pittsburgh, PA—Warhol’s birthplace. Seven floors house his paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs,

The Pulitzer Prize Photographs presents the most comprehensive exhibition of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs ever assembled. More than 150 photographs, organized chronologically, depict a tumultuous history of the world. They bear stark witness to war and brutality. They honor heroism, compassion, and the strivings of ordinary people for better lives. And behind each indelible image is a second, moving tale—the story of how each photographer made the picture that won the prize. The collection has traveled the world since its inception in 2000 in association with NEWSEUM, located in Washington, DC, and includes every Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph since the Pulitzer board began awarding the photography prize in 1942.

other over the course of an entire year. To create one circular composition, Circle of the Seasons, Lawson’s camera rig shot a 3° wide “slice” of the West Virginia landscape, shooting one exposure at 3 o’clock every third afternoon across the seasons. Other Lawson photos are rectangular, with varying angles of view over different periods. His photograph Callanish Stone Circle (a Scottish version of Stonehenge) was made on August 30, 1991 by exposing strips of film one degree wide at two-minute intervals. In this eerie photograph the ancient stones seem to come alive under the growing light of the rising sun. Born in Glasgow Scotland, Lawson studied figurative

sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art. He received an undergraduate degree in 1967, and an MFA from the University of Colorado in 1970. He taught sculpture at Ohio State University for six years, prior to his relocation to West Virginia to become involved in “Earthart,” that is, art that uses the Earth itself as the physical medium of expression. Lawson’s award-winning work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the US and abroad and is held in the collections of the George Eastman House, Rochester, NY; Library of Congress, Washington, DC; and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; to name a few.
