Our Mission The mission of the Southern Vermont Arts Center is to make both the visual and performing arts an integral part of the life of our community and the region by: • Presenting the finest-quality exhibitions and performances • Providing education and instruction in the arts • Exhibiting and marketing the work of member artists • Providing opportunities for community service in promotion of excellence in the arts

Dear Members and Friends of the Southern Vermont Arts Center,

President’s Message

This year marks the 89th year of the Southern Vermont Arts Center’s remarkable history.

Since our founding in 1922 by a group of local artists dedicated to supporting each other and to bringing visual arts to our community, the Arts Center has grown to become a center for the arts in all their wonderful forms.

We continue the tradition of our founders by supporting our artist members with the Yester House galleries, seminars, and instructional classes. Our outreach programs and events bring the arts to thousands of children in our communities. And the Arkell Pavilion features performers who will appeal to all age groups and musical tastes.

In 2009 we received a generous endowment from the estate of Marina Svetlova to support dance, and we look forward to presenting the inaugural program this autumn.

In March, we welcomed Joseph Madeira as our executive director. Joe brings with him a wealth of experience, new ideas, enthusiasm, and abundant energy. I know he is looking forward to meeting you and hearing your suggestions for future activities and programs.

Stanley S. Stroup

This year we will be taking on a new look that builds on our proud heritage and our

SVAC PRESIDENT

deeply planted roots in the community.

We have a beautiful campus, wonderful programs, a talented, hardworking staff, dedicated volunteers, and an outstanding board of trustees committed to the long-term success of our institution. But, in the final analysis, our success depends on you – our members and friends. Thank you. We hope to see you on the hill often this year enjoying the sights, sounds, and activities of the Southern Vermont Arts Center.

Sincerely, Stanley S. Stroup

SVAC Welcome

Dear Friends,

Executive Director’s Message

Welcome to our new publication Arts/Life – featuring all the exhibitions, programs, and performances of the Southern Vermont Arts Center. It is an exciting time for SVAC and I am honored to be part of an organization with such a vital and lasting tradition of excellence.

As a new director with multiple responsibilities, my first and foremost task (and one that I look forward to most) is to meet and become acquainted with all the members of this community who visit, support, and get involved with the Arts Center. I bring with me a broad range of experiences in museum and cultural organizations, a passion for art and music, and a central message – that the arts are exciting to everyone and are relevant to everything in our lives.

Joseph Madeira SVAC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Without the support and advancement of the arts we would not have the timeless tragedies of Shakespeare, the magical movies of Spielberg, or the stylish sound of Alicia Keys (or the wonderful exhibits, programs and performances you'll find in this edition). The arts provide inspiration and delight and open up new ways to see and understand our world. Art centers are places where everyone is welcome and encouraged to explore, investigate, ponder, meander, listen, learn, and create. They are meant to be centers for enjoyment, education, and inspiration.

In fact, this Arts Center has its roots in inspiration – going back to a small group of artists from Dorset. These founding artists were inspired by the region, the mountains, and our setting and created some magnificent work. So please, make the short drive up the hill to see what’s new and exciting at your Arts Center – you will undoubtedly discover something inspiring for yourself.

Sincerely, Joseph Madeira

A short history of SVAC

History

yester house under construction, 1917.

Twelve-inch clapboards were milled on site.

On a late summer day in 1922 In the summer of 1922 Edwin B. Child, Francis Dixon, Wallace W. Fahnestock, John Lillie, and Herbert Meyer, five gentlemen who would come to be known as the Dorset Painters, got together to show their wares at the Dorset Town Hall.

“On that August day,” says historian Mary Hard Bort, in Art and Soul, her definitive history of the Arts Center, “local people came to see the work of their neighbors. Visitors stopped by to see what was going on. Summer people came to assess the quality of the work, and the ladies of the village served punch, tea, and cookies to all. It was a Dorset social event and the start of something much bigger that would encompass the entire Battenkill Valley.”

100 paintings draw visitors from around the world Two years later, Francis Dixon and Frank V. Vanderhoof, a summer resident and fellow painter, arranged an exhibition of paintings by a group that would come to be called the “Southern Vermont Artists” at Manchester’s Equinox Pavilion. It was just three years after that, in August of 1927, the ten-day Fourth Annual Exhibition of the Artists of Southern Vermont was held. The exhibit of over 100 paintings drew more than 1,600 visitors from 28 states, Canada, Norway, England, Wales, and Algeria.

yester house under construction, 1917.

gertrude Divine Webster with Janet Mulch Janssen in the summer of 1946.

This annual celebration of art relocated to the gymnasium of the Burr and Burton Seminary (now Academy) and continued to strengthen and grow yearly, attracting soon-to-be internationally known talent – Luigi Lucioni and Ogden Pleissner first exhibited in the 1930s; Dean Fausett in 1940; Norman Rockwell joined in 1945. And while art and artists blossomed in the foreground, a group of prominent residents and business owners, looking to ensure the longevity of this budding organization, formed the Southern Vermont Artists, Inc.

Prominent residents make up the first board of trustees Mary Hard Bort tells us that, “Ten men and one woman, only one of them an artist, signed the Articles of Association.

These incorporators were, variously, the president of the village and former proprietor of the Equinox House, wealthy benefactor and chairman of the Beechnut Packing Co., Manchester’s poet laureate and prominent businessman, president of the Factory Point Bank, artist and summer resident, grandson of Robert Todd Lincoln, husband of artist Harriet Miller, prominent Bennington attorney, prominent Dorset businessman and owner of the marble quarries, summer visitor, and Bennington County probate judge.”

The various people behind those impressive titles – Mrs. George Orvis, Bartlett Arkell, Walter R. Hard, William H. Roberts, H.D. Schnakenberg, Lincoln Isham, Harlan Miller, Luther R. Graves II, Ernest West, Edward F. Rochester, and Edward Griffith – were, in effect, the first board of trustees for the Arts Center.

grandma Moses celebrates her 100th birthday at SVAC in 1960.

Raise the money he did, and over two days, July 15 and 16 of 1950, the Southern Vermont Artists accepted the terms of the sale; thanks to a flurry of last-minute fund-raising and some judicious forestry management, the mortgage amount was reduced to $12,000, payable in three years, at 2%. It was also at those meetings that the name Southern Vermont Arts Center was officially adopted.

A permanent home for the Arts Center By the late 1940s, the trustees and the Southern Vermont artists’ first executive director, Richard Ketchum, were actively pursuing a permanent home for the organization.

Dean Fausett headed up the building committee; as it happened, a piece of property was then under serious consideration – initial architectural sketches were being prepared – when Ketchum heard that the former Webster Estate – the current home of the Arts Center – was for sale for, give or take, $25,000. Dean Fausett was vacationing in Mexico at the time.

“I went up and looked at it,” Dick Ketchum told Mary Hard Bort, “liked what I saw, spoke with the Realtor, and when Dean called one day from Mexico, I told him about it.

‘Tell them we’ll buy it!’ he practically shouted. ‘I’ll head home tomorrow and raise the money.’”

Today: A tribute to the founders The ensuing years have witnessed growth and invigoration akin to that experienced by the original SVA in the 1930s.

With the addition of the Arkell Pavilion’s wonderfully intimate performance space, the studios of the Hay Madeira Education Center (and the incredible expansion in quantity and quality of art workshops offered annually therein), and the Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum, the Arts Center has truly become a cornerstone of Vermont’s art community and a most fitting tribute to those devoted folks – artists and otherwise – who’ve gone before.

Sabra Field – Vermont Artist, World Vision July 23 - October 16, 2011

HUNTER GALLERY

Sabra Field is considered one of Vermont’s most recognizable artists and one of America’s most accomplished printmakers.

Her iconic landscapes quietly symbolize the harmony that can exist between humanity and nature. Since 1969, Sabra has maintained her home and studio in East Barnard, Vermont. For more than 30 years Sabra Field has refined her skills of observation and cultivated an astonishing ability to recall images – “collective shared images,” of the Green Mountain State. Prints by Sabra Field have been the subject of over 50 one-person exhibitions since 1960, and have been included in numerous national and international juried exhibitions. She is well-known as the designer of the 1991 Vermont Bicentennial stamp for the United States Postal

Service. Sabra now prints using digital inkjet technology, typically called a giclée (g-clay). Giclées are printed digitally from her original woodblock images. Sabra has been named an Extraordinary Vermonter (1991) and received the 1999 Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.

She has also been named a “Living Treasure” by the Shelburne Crafts School in 2000 and was one of two awarded the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum Medal for the Arts (2001). Middlebury College, Sabra’s alma mater, has a collection of every piece that she has ever printed. She has been awarded Middlebury College’s Alumni Achievement Award and an Honorary Doctorate.

Torak

The Feast of Venus: An Exploration of the Artist’s Process Luigi Lucioni Gallery

July 23 - October 16, 2011

One of the foremost figure painters of the day, Elizabeth Torak lives in Pawlet, Vermont, with her husband and fellow painter Thomas Torak.

A multi-award-winning artist, her oil paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the country. “The Artist’s Process” is an invitation to explore the mind of the artist at work. The exhibit centers around a large figure painting, “The Feast of Venus I” and includes most of the drawings and oil studies that went into its development. A common theme during the Renaissance, paintings of The Feast of Venus typically depict a voluptuous goddess, surrounded by dozens, sometimes hundreds, of frolicking infants. In her more contemporary interpretation, Torak’s painting becomes a celebration of women, a consideration of the relationship between women and food, as well as a meditation on the mystery of creativity. The painting is also, in some important ways, a reflection of Torak’s relationship to the history of painting, what she sees as the flow of life and time, and is inspired by many artists such as Peter Paul Rubens, Velasquez, and Vermeer “who paint a quotidian world and yet you feel a mystical structure underlying it.”

Sculptors

This exhibition features the work of three outstanding sculptors working in predominantly abstract styles. Each of the artists has frequently exhibited throughout the region and nationally, and their work is represented in numerous private and public collections.

Each artist is also featured separately in one-person exhibitions in Yester House Galleries during the 2011 summer season.

Duncan Johnson Duncan Johnson is a Vermont artist whose work has evolved from the three-dimensional to the two-dimensional form. Taking discarded bits of wood found in landfills and construction sites in Vermont, he painstakingly prepares the boards by cutting them into thin strips, taking care to preserve the patinas of the weathered surfaces before attaching them to panels with a series of fine nails laid along delicate grid-like pencil lines.

The grid-like paintings that result contain aspects of sculpture, drawing, and painting, referencing many of the artist’s interests, from quilting to architecture.

Lee – The Dowser Copper, steel, bronze, string 52” x 23” x 5”

John Kemp Lee John Kemp Lee is a Vermont artist who is Adjunct Professor of Art at Dartmouth College.

Johnson – Longitude 2 Reclaimed wood, graphite, Although predominantly abstract, his work contains wire, nails 84” x 60” x 2” elements that are more figurative and symbolic and that address aspects of the human condition. “The objects that I make, be they wall reliefs, drawings, or free-standing sculptures, are always concerned with the Distance Between. How close do we hold our loved ones, how strongly do we embrace the philosophies that guide us, what separates us from true contentment, what exactly is that moment when life turns into death?”

Gary Haven Smith Gary Haven Smith, an artist from New Hampshire, not only creates monumental free-standing pieces but also smaller, lighter sculptures, as well as pieces that combine elements of drawing, painting, and sculpture. Smith has earned numerous awards, including Lifetime Fellow by NH State Council on the Arts and a Pollock-Krasner Grant, and he was the first recipient of the Greater Piscatuqua Foundation’s Enrichment Grant in 2002. His pieces are included in private, public, and museum collections nationally and internationally.

If the artist Kemp Lee is drawn to the exploration of what he calls “the Distance Between” and Duncan Johnson is attracted to the combination of imperfections that make the perfect whole, Gary Haven Smith’s interest lies in the creation of the balance between “what is and what is not.” He often chooses materials and designs that “are reflections on past cultures that continue to live for me” and that provide a vantage point for the complexities of our present technological age.

Highlights

Outdoor Sculpture As you explore our campus, you’ll discover

Stalking Cheetah,

by Wendy Klemperer

our outdoor sculpture installations at almost every turn. Southern Vermont’s distinctive seasons provide an ever-changing backdrop and a fresh look at these contemporary works by featured artists every time you visit.

Wendy Klemperer Wendy Klemperer works on a scale that is larger than life, an expansion of scale that reflects the place a wild beast holds in our imagination – not the actual animal, but the huge space it takes up in the mind’s eye. The piece is simultaneously there and not there, as if disappearing before our eyes. This creates a tension akin to the apparition-like quality of a fleetingly glimpsed wild creature, gone in a flash, just barely perceived before it vanishes into the woods again. Klemperer attended the University of Rochester, then transferred to Harvard University to earn a BA in biochemistry before moving to NYC to pursue art full time. She earned a BFA in sculpture at Pratt Institute. Her work has been exhibitied widely in NYC and the US, including installations at Socrates Sculpture Park, Queens, NY; the Bridgewater-Lustberg Gallery, NYC, NY; and the DeCordova Museum & Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA. Her large-scale permanent installations include 560 Broadway in NYC and Henry Lay Sculpture park in Missouri. Klemperer has taught welded sculpture at the Educational Alliance Art School and Third Ward in NY, and the Carving Studio & Sculpture Center, West Rutland, VT. Work on display: Stalking Cheetah, Steel, 45" x 98" x 35"

The Wealth of Fools,

by Gregory Smith

John Kemp Lee has a BA in Psychology from Dartmouth College and an MFA in Sculpture from the University of Pennsylvania. Currently Adjunct Professor of Art at Dartmouth College, he is an internationally exhibited artist whose work has been shown in numerous gallery exhibitions, including most recently a one-person exhibit at Kouros Gallery, New York City.

“The objects that I make, be they wall reliefs, drawings, or free-standing sculptures are always concerned with the Distance Between. How close do we hold our loved ones, how strongly do we embrace the philosophies that guide us, what separates us from true contentment, what exactly is that moment when life turns to death?” Kemp Lee sees his pieces as being attempts to identify and describe the ineffable – to discover “what is universal among specific, even unique, circumstances.”

Gregory Smith

David Tanych

Gregory Smith is a sculptor and poet who lives in North Pownal, Vermont. He studied at Kenyon College, where he was awarded the Kenyon Poetry Prize in 1974, then at Bennington College, with Isaac Witkin and Brower Hatcher. He earned a BA. at the University of Vermont, where he studied with Paul Aschenbach, Frank Hewitt, and Gregg Blasdel. An award-winning artist, his numerous solo and group exhibitions include those at the Kouros Gallery, Sculpture Center, Ridgefield, CT; Chesterwood, Stockbridge, MA; The Fleming Museum, Burlington, VT; SUNY at Purchase, Purchase, NY; and AONE, Silvermine Guild, New Canaan, CT. In his essay on Smith’s sculpture, Sam Hunter writes, “Whimsical and deft, his art focuses on the personal and poetic rather than on the universally heroic, and thus expresses a slightly ironic, quixotic quality that is quintessentially late-twentieth century American.”

David Tanych has been building objects since his father gave him a hammer, saw, nails, and a block of wood at age ten. A veteran home and furniture builder, Tanych has turned his interest in design and fabrication from the functional and practical to the imaginative and artistic. Interested in welding and the properties of metal, Tanych attended two summer sessions in blacksmithing at the Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina. As he became more skilled, Tanych began building steel outdoor sculptures.

Likened to the work of sculptor Claes Oldenburg by many viewers, his most recent pieces are big and bold, on a massive scale. “My enormous pieces are immediately recognizable for the common, functional item they represent, and people can easily relate to them because of the memories they call to mind.

Yester House

Galleries

Historic Yester House provides visitors with a unique experience in viewing and enjoying works of art from the finest artists in Vermont and beyond.

The intimate interior of the galleries is contrasted in one glance with the expansive vistas of mountain landscape just outside the palladian windows.

Each of the ten galleries contains artwork of a distinct identity, offering browsers and buyers alike a range of exciting choices.

The 82nd Annual Members’ Exhibition traces its lineage directly to a 1922 exhibition at the Dorset Town Hall, which featured works of The Dorset Painters – Edwin B. Child, Francis Dixon, Wallace W. Fahnestock, John Lillie, and Herbert Meyer. The same group mounted another summer exhibition, at Manchester’s Equinox Pavilion, two years later and, minus a few years lost during WWII, a Members’ Exhibition has been held every year since.

This year’s Exhibition features ten galleries of exceptional paintings, sculpture, photography, and mixed media pieces.

Now open to Artist Members residing in Vermont or within a 30-mile radius of the Arts Center, the prestigious Annual Member’s Exhibition contains works of Featured Artist Robert K. Carsten and up to 200 juried works from some of the finest artists in the region.

A graduate of Indiana University and Rhode Island School of Design, Elizabeth Allen studied at the European Honors Program, R.I.S.D., Rome, Italy, and at the Arts Students League of New York with artists Ted Jacobs, David Leffell, Nelson Shanks, and others. An award-winning artist, her work has been exhibited in many juried shows, including Art in the Round Barn, Waitsfield, VT, and the Hudson Valley Art Association. Influenced by the Luminists, she aims “to concentrate on the soul of a landscape. I find the scenes I want to paint in the earliest hours of the day as the mist envelopes the land and in the twilight hours when the colors created by the setting sun spread across the landscape in a rainbow of unexpected color.”

Virginia Bradley

GALLERY II

Virginia Bradley is a Professor of Art at the University of Delaware, where she teaches painting and drawing. She is the recipient of several fellowships, including a McKnight Foundation Fellowship in Painting, and she has also been a fellow at Yaddo, Sanskriti Kendra (New Delhi, India), Fundacion Valparaiso (Mojcar, Spain), Ragdale, and the Virginia Center of Creative Arts. “The making of my work is about questioning, searching and continually arriving. The work creates a structure where a dialogue between the alchemy of material, visual image and personal experience takes place …

I am a traveler, collector, and voyeur. Images from the natural world and observed cultures are often source material for the departure of my work – which references both the seen and the unseen – the spoken and the unspoken in the living world.”

Chris Malcomson

GALLERY VII

As a Fellow of the Institute of Civil Engineers, Chris Malcomson worked for many years at the Consulting Engineering Firm of J. Samuely and Partners in England. Malcomson’s specialty was in major inner city redevelopment, the complexity of which required the ability to get to the root of a problem, a practice that helped him focus on the essence of things in his abstract painting. In 1993 he attended the Chelsea College of Art and Design in London, and in 2004 he was invited to an Artist Residency organized by the Fundacion Valparaiso in Mojcar, Spain. Now living in the US, he is married to fellow artist Virginia Bradley. Malcomson’s life long interest in Jungian and Transpersonal psychology, the poet Rumi, and icons are a continuing influence on his work.

A second-generation photographer, Crickett Polis first started out at the Southern Vermont Arts Center as an intern while studying Fine Arts at Pratt Institute.

When not running her full-time business, Polis Photography, and teaching numerous workshops in the local area, Polis spends much of her time taking photographs that capture the beauty of upstate New York, where she currently resides, and of southern Vermont, where she grew up. The current show reflects this abiding passion for beauty, which she treasures wherever she finds it, and reveals her ability to create a painterly quality in her portraits of flowers and the local landscape.

Sam Clayton

ENTRANCE GALLERY Sam Clayton studied at the Arts Students League of New York and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. A nationally and internationally exhibited artist, awards include the Bergman Painting Prize; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, and the Penny McCall Foundation Grant, New York. This exhibition, called “Immaterial,” reveals the artist’s increasing interest in combining the figurative and the abstract. For the past 25 years Clayton has focused on using the human figure and finding a new pictorial space in which it can exist. “Informed by history without being a slave to it,” Clayton examines the relationships between the material and immaterial world, the physical and the transcendent aspects of reality, in images which he says can be viewed as “visual poems or … musical compositions.”

GALLERY V

Lisa Cueman lives in Dorset, Vermont. Most of her life has been spent “either around or with horses, driven by my underlying passion for this animal, its beauty and its spirit. My photography is an extension of this passion.” It is, as Cueman explains, all “about the horse, as I focus in on the multiple forms, textures and lines that play off each other, and capture my attention. This collection is what I see – the symmetry, the flowing lines, the compelling forms.

These abstractions, both in combination with and separate from each other, are the sum of what is so beautiful and powerful about the horse.” This is the artist’s first solo exhibition at the SVAC.

Married to fellow actor, Dom DeLuise, she graduated from the Academy of Dramatic Arts in London and was invited to perform on Broadway by Sir Noel Coward after he had seen her perform at London’s Prince of Wales Theatre. “It is such an honor to be at the Southern Vermont Arts Center, as my heart has been in Vermont ever since the 1950s when I acted with the Caravan Theater at the Dorset Playhouse and met my favorite artist, Arthur Jones, whom I’ve had the pleasure of painting alongside. My intention with this show is just keeping up with family.”

Mysterious and evocative, her lush, velvety vignettes of places, mainly in Italy, which she has visited and loved, are created with the use of handmade soft pastel and vegetable fiber-coated paper.

“Mallory Lake’s Tuscany is blurred edges and cold dark greens and browns, all in a crepuscular light” – Jeffrey Ganz.

Two: Can the visionary, or intuitive be rational?” Source material is extremely important to Riley’s work. Subjects include maps of star constellations, poetry, Middle Eastern carpet designs, and African-American jazz scores.

In 2008 the Vermont Community Foundation awarded her a grant for work on a series of paintings addressing issues of climate change and a feature article about her work appeared in the 2007 issue of American Artist magazine. “My work is driven by two forces: a deep attachment to place and a passion for the visual effect of light on our everyday surroundings. I consider the power and beauty of weather, geography, and human endeavor. For me painting is immersing myself in the sensation of light among all those elements, with all it implies about both the present moment and the passage of time, and working to hold that emotional reality with paint.”

Erika Schmidt is a multi-disciplinary visual and performing artist whose work is deeply shaped by investigations into Eastern thought and concepts of contemporary art. “I am interested in the similitude between Eastern philosophies and quantum physics in which there is a shared understanding of the world seen as a complex web of interrelating parts, fluid and ever-changing in character.” Schmidt received her MFA. from the University of South Florida. The founder of Vital Spark North, she has received numerous awards for her unique approach to art and performance. Her prints and collages are in numerous collections and have been widely exhibited in national juried and invitational exhibitions, including New American Paintings publication; the Polk Museum of Art, Lakeland, FL, and the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT.

A nationally exhibited artist, this is her second one-person show here. Her work combines aspects of both representational and abstract art. She is inspired by nature and directly influenced by the Hudson River School, but also by the work of more contemporary artists, such as Richard Diebenkorn in the construction of her compositions. The artist hopes that the viewer of her work might leave the literal behind and enter “a space where it is possible to become aware not only of the slumbering messages that dwell deep within, but also the low heartbeat of the surrounding world.”

Listed in “Who’s Who in America” and “Who’s Who in the World,” Mark Tougias is a self-taught artist who began exhibiting at age 16. His work has been shown in over 40 galleries, and, the recipient of many awards, his work is in private collections both in this country and abroad.

He enjoys traveling abroad but continues to be inspired by his immediate surroundings along the Vermont and New York border. Sometimes his paintings are “literal representations of an area or scene,” but he adds, “I don’t want to compromise the poem just for the sake of being literally true to the place. I prefer seeking another truth.”

A resident of New York City, her work has been included in many prestigious exhibitions, including “Blue Dot Asia” International Arts Fair, Seoul, Korea in 2009. Her paintings have a moving, contemplative quality that is both contemporary and timeless in expression. “My works are the continuation of a search for a visual language that touches and helps those who are suffering. Truth comes from observation of nature – its solitude, its imperfection – and its elusiveness – marks are made, forms and colors are found and lost, and chaos and order interact.

After all these abstract elements are processed … I repeat the process, layer after layer, until I find my depth. At that point, it doesn’t matter what lives or dies, the process is all.”

A ceramics instructor at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, with a BA in Ceramics and Drawing from Bennington College, VT, and an MFA. in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield, MI, Swanson’s sculpture has been exhibited both nationally and internationally. “The process of making and extending clay objects beyond certainty, wavering between the familiar and the unknown – inspires my practice. The nature of clay work, its long multicultural history, and its capacity” to allow one to “express volume, weight, beauty, and opposites keeps me invested” in the medium. “In my large-scale terracotta sculptures I refer to the human body – our feelings about the body, our desire for ideal features, our disdain for imperfections, interest me and are translated into the work.”

Brian Sweetland

Born in Wheaton, Minnesota, and raised in Montana, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Ohio, Brian Sweetland graduated from Ohio University with a degree in History. He then moved to Washington, DC, where he developed his childhood interest in art and embarked on a course of self-instruction in painting. In 1977 his sketches caught the attention of prominent portrait, landscape, and mural painter Dean Fausett, who invited him to continue his studies in Vermont. His first major exhibit was held in Middleburg, VA, in 1980, and since then Brian Sweetland’s work has been exhibited in shows nationwide. The quiet, uncontrived beauty of his plein-air paintings of rural Vermont, influenced by the impressionist tradition, makes him one of the most collected and recognized artists in the region.

Frank Vurraro

GALLERY III SHOWCASE Frank Vurraro was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Syracuse University in 1961, and he has been teaching art and exhibiting his work in galleries and museums ever since. His work is in many public and private collections, and he has won many awards, including most recently the Frank Proctor Whiting Memorial Prize in Painting, 2010. His art has spanned periods of abstract expressionism, figurative realism, minimalism, and most recently landscape painting. This particular series of drawings and paintings entitled “Heaven and Earth” was originally inspired by images from the Hubble telescope, and they are meant to reflect something of the indescribable wonder of God’s universe.

He has been awarded several artist residencies, including recently for the postgraduate study program at the Bulgarian National Academy of Art. He is currently member of the Adjunct Teaching Faculty of the University of Connecticut, Eastern Connecticut State University and Connecticut College. The “visual narratives” in this exhibition explore Guarino’s interest in the role models society imposes on men, both with a sense of humor and “an implied sense of threat – the figures in my compositions are drawn or painted from photo-based collages made by recombining parts from various images of men.

The awkwardness of the figures is deliberate, intending to illustrate the difficulties of living within the constructs of society’s ‘ambiguous role expectations.’ ” One Man’s Ceiling Charcoal 42.5”x 76”

GALLERY I

Marla Korr is a New York City artist, with an MFA from Brooklyn College (CUNY), where she studied with Phillip Pearlstein, Lennart Anderson and Jimmy Ernst. She continued her studies at the New York Academy and then at the Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting. “This classical training gave me the knowledge and freedom to paint the figure, still life, and landscape … My love of landscape painting was inspired by my father, whose reverence for nature took our family each summer from New York City to the lush environs of the Hudson River Valley.” Whether she paints the urban landscape of New York or the marine landscape of Cape Cod, it is what she calls “the transformational quality of the light” that she strives to express. Her work has been represented by many prestigious galleries, including the Cavalier Gallery, Nantucket, and the Dyansen Gallery, NYC. It is her first solo exhibition at the SVAC.

Dan Mosheim

GALLERY IV

Dan Mosheim has spent his entire career as a furniture maker in Vermont.

“I made my first piece of furniture in 1972 at the age of 25. It was a simple colonial form called a dry sink, made with pine from the lumberyard, using a hammer, a Skilsaw and a jig saw … I was hooked.” Originally influenced by the simplicity of Shaker design, Mosheim now works with four assistants, including his two sons, and his design concept has undergone considerable modification and change. “My sons, Sam and Will, and I have been collaborating on furniture and sculptural pieces for several years now … Our work for this show is a continuation on the theme of combining wood and steel, color and texture as well as a celebration of a legacy that is organic and endures.”

Harry A. Rich is a Vermont artist who received his BFA. from Pratt Institute, NY, where he studied with James Brooks, Jack Tworkov, and Adolph Gottlieb, and his MFA from Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT. He has won numerous awards and his work is in many public and private collections, including the Columbus Museum of Fine Art and AYCO Corporation.

A lecturer and writer, exhibitions of his work include Albany Museum of History and Art, NY, and Dayton Museum Annual, OH. “My paintings are children of the New York School. They strive to build on their heritage, while remaining within the tradition of Modernism. In the studio, I work principally on the margins of what I already know about nonrepresentational painting and paint, searching for what I don’t know. Nonrepresentational painting, unfettered with distracting images, may allow the paint to release its transformative potential.”

Eric Tobin

GALLERY II

Eric Tobin is one of the most highly acclaimed artists exhibiting at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. His style and subject matter have universal appeal, primarily because of his unique ability to capture the beauty of the moment, the light, and the setting. His love for his native Vermont can be seen in all of his work. All of his painting is done outdoors, regardless of time of year, difficult setting, or rapidly changing conditions. Each of his works has a way of drawing one into the painting, as his expressive brushstrokes capture what could easily be missed from a photograph. Mentored as a child by Thomas Curtin, this awardwinning artist now works with other well-known artists Charles Movalli of Gloucester, MA, and Fred Hines from Johnson, VT, as well as simply on his own, with friends, or his daughter Eliza.

Born in the Netherlands and now living with his family in Dorset, Vermont, Oscar Trugler is an art teacher at Burr and Burton Academy in Manchester.

Although primarily a figurative painter, Trugler has been painting landscapes over the past several years in order to concentrate more fully on the elements of formal and emotional aesthetics. “With these paintings I’m looking to minimize subject and focus and instead have them play an overall supporting role in the balance between sky and ground under extreme light …Within the image of the enduring landscape I hope to offer the viewer a level of emotional ground and a place for contemplation.” Trugler has shown his work internationally as well as regionally, and this is his second solo exhibition at the SVAC.

Spotlight on the Permanent Collection

Marsh Reginald Marsh (1898-1954), one of the leading 20th-century American artists, recording urban life, is distinguished for subjects almost exclusively of New York. Turning his back on modernism, he adapted the Renaissance ideals and techniques of Michelangelo, Titian, and Rubens to New York’s colorful and flamboyant characters of the Bowery, 14th Street,

Life and Art of Reginald Marsh How apt, for a successor to Lautrec, Forain, and Daumier, that Reginald Marsh was born, 1898, in Paris, to American artist parents, in an apartment over what later became the Café du Dome. His father, Fred Dana Marsh, was a painter-muralist known for urban industrial subjects, and his mother, Alice Randall Marsh, a miniaturist. The family returned to the US two years later and settled in Nutley, New Jersey, then a neighborhood that attracted artists and writers. The future curator at the Whitney Museum, Lloyd Goodrich, grew up with Marsh and was his closest childhood friend.

Marsh’s father’s large studio was filled with wax or clay maquettes used for his work and reproductions of old masters. In this household where art was a natural pursuit, Marsh began drawing at age three, though his father cautioned him that art was not a “paying profession.”

burlesque halls, movie theatres, saloons, subways, and beaches, especially Coney Island. He knew the city thoroughly, and he found its “dumps, docks, and slums, all wonderful to paint.” Its streets and architectural details, signage of movie marquees, bizarre amusement halls, all became the venue for Marsh to develop his narrative with the figure.

No artist was more attuned than Marsh to voluptuous feminine pulchritude or macho muscle-builders.

He portrayed a New York brimming with life, vitality, and more than a hint of sexuality.

44

Educated at a military academy in New Rochelle, then the Lawrenceville School, and finally Yale, Marsh found academic art study dulling but flourished as a student illustrator for the Yale Record. There, his classmate William Benton (later famed Benton & Bowles advertising executive and Connecticut senator) arranged for him to be paid a secret stipend of $50 a month. Upon graduation, Marsh began his artistic engagement with New York doing caricatures and cartoons for the Daily News, including a daily vaudeville column (with the shows rated by quality) and portraying spots around the city like the subways. When The New Yorker was started in 1925, Marsh became one of the first on the magazine’s staff and continued

SVAC

until 1931. In 1923, he married sculptor Betty Burroughs, the daughter of Metropolitan Museum curator and artist Bryson Burroughs. Marsh moved to their family house in Flushing until the couple divorced in 1933. Marsh was remarried in 1934, to Felicia Meyer, a painter from Dorset, Vermont, also the child of artists.

Early in the 1920s, Marsh first considered becoming a serious painter impelled by study at the Art Students League, which continued throughout that decade. There he gained an increasing awareness of technique and sensed the possibility of elevating the “low-life” topics he had illustrated into fine art by using the formal underpinnings of traditional art derived from the old masters. Studying with a succession of teachers including John Sloan and George Luks, he was especially encouraged

by Kenneth Hayes Miller to realize his artistic identity.

Miller’s approach differed from the other Ashcan artists in that he deliberately integrated classical compositional structure into his contemporary subjects. Miller’s studio on Union Square became the locus of a group, henceforth known as the Fourteenth Street School, which included Marsh (who rented his first studio there in 1929), Isabel Bishop, the Soyers, and Edward Laning.

Marsh experimented with oil paint, but found its opacity too restrictive as it did not readily permit building up of imagery

through successive stages of drawing and tinting, a process that interested him. Watercolor, combined with underlying drawing, better enabled him to convey movement and salient detail.

Marsh’s discovery of tempera, in 1929, furthered his development, which he explained; “It opened a new world to me. Egg is a fine ‘draftsman’s vehicle’ and very easy to handle. The luminosity and clearness of drawing is preserved, yet a certain greasy quality of the yolk gives a fat, oily effect. Drying is instantaneous, and superimposed brush strokes are easily made. I put egg yolk on a kind of belt line production for a dozen years and chucked oil forever.” [1] Marsh saw himself as a Renaissance painter, at least in terms of his understanding of pictorial structure and to some extent in his manner of building or constructing his layered images. His imagery emphasized forms in the round, occupying an airy dimensional space, and with movement more baroque than classical. In an age where the tendencies in modernism increasingly emphasized the silhouette and flatness, Marsh moved in the other direction to spatial illusion.

The Whitney Studio Club gave Marsh his first exhibition by 1924, and he began to be represented by Frank Rehn Gallery in 1930. While Marsh continued to do illustration, especially for books, virtually throughout his career, he became increasingly

identified as a fine artist. He pursued his career free from financial worry because of income from the estate of his grandfather who had made his fortune as a Chicago meat packer.

Apart from regular purchases by Senator William Benton beginning in 1930, sales of Marsh’s work were initially few.

Nonetheless, his reputation continued to grow, and Marsh was elected an Associate of the National Academy in 1933, becoming a full member in 1943.

Marsh was forever educating himself, as well as extensively teaching at the Art Students League beginning in the 1930s.

He painted from the nude model in his studio almost every day. He dissected cadavers at New York medical schools in 1931 and 1934, studied sculpture with Mahonri Young in 1935, and printmaking with Stanley William Hayter in 1940.

On European trips, he made pen-and-ink studies of old master paintings, “free adaptations,” which became the basis for his book Anatomy for Artists, published in 1945. Marsh also applied his knowledge of Renaissance art to mural projects for the Treasury Art Program during the WPA period.

In 1935, he frescoed New York Harbor’s ships and surrounding skyscrapers onto the enormous concave ceiling of Cass Gilbert’s 1907 Beaux Arts’ designed New York Customs

House, adjusting perspective to its curve and the vantage point of viewers 50 feet below. After study with Jacques Maroger during 1940-46, he began using the maroger paint medium.

In 1943, he began working with Chinese ink in the traditional manner in which a charcoal stick was ground into water to produce a thin grey wash. In the 1950s, Marsh used maroger, tempera, Chinese ink, or watercolor with ink interchangeably.

Marsh’s remarkable comprehension of technique enabled him to capture the complexity of New York’s congested streets and densely populated social scenes and the distinct identities of characters in multi-figure compositions. He was never without sketchbooks or camera to record his subjects on location.

He typically used a Waterman’s artist fountain pen and worked in 4 x 6 inch ring-bound Morilla sketchbooks. Such sketches were traded with his models on the beach, in exchange for posing. Out the tall windows of the compressed and cluttered space of his studio at 1 Union Square, Marsh kept a pair of binoculars perched on the sill, in readiness for watching the pretty girls at the bus stop below. He worked indoors on his watercolors, temperas, or oils from the sketches that he brought back from sites throughout the city.

Article

In an age where the tendencies in modernism increasingly emphasized the silhouette and flatness, Marsh moved in the other direction to spatial illusion.

The themes of Marsh’s art attracted him as a person.

Art to him was not something outside his immediate experiences, theoretical, philosophical, or aesthetic, but became a pretext to immerse himself further in the life of the city around him, to justify, and substantiate as a constructive purpose, the very things that he would have wanted to do anyway. His great pleasure, clearly, was in looking and recording, “staring,” as he said.

The audience’s empathy with his goals, and the fact that so many share his visual interests, either directly as nostalgia, or in a projected mode of imagination, underscores the attraction of his work. If Marsh was at one with the experience of his art, he also was with his city. What Marsh observes, however, arises out of the ethos of only one place, New York, and these venues and their habitués would not look the same anywhere else.

Outreach

Grants • Scholarships • School Field Trips • Special Events • Community Collaborations The Arts Center’s Educational Outreach Program was established in 1995 and facilitates a host of interdisciplinary arts initiatives, both on campus and off, involving area schools and made possible by the generosity of a number of special endowment funds and donors. Under the stewardship of Outreach Coordinator Stacy Gates, the program has become the public face of the Arts Center’s core mission, “to make both the visual and performing arts an integral part of the life of our community …”

the 17th annual Churchill Ettinger Scholarship, and the 10th annual H. Thomas Clarke Scholarship.

In 2010, the Outreach program proudly funded Artist Residencies in eight area schools, via the support of the Jonathan Levin Educational Endowment Fund. Four college scholarships were awarded to promising student artists: the 25th annual Harriet Miller Scholarship, the 19th Thomas Reilly Dibble Scholarship,

SVAC has also collaborated with other local and state organizations to bring arts opportunities to the community, such as Mark Skinner Library, the Vermont Art Teachers Association, Opera Theater of Weston, The Singing Sensations, Fresh Air Fund, Empty Bowls, and The Vermont Arts Council.

In addition, over 700 schoolchildren visited SVAC to view the Yester House Galleries. For performing arts, The Marina Svetlova and Theodore Haig Fund for the Performing Arts will support the weekend program by Soul Steps in June 2011 and a dance performance by the Albany Berkshire Ballet on September 30, 2011.

The Albany Berkshire Ballet Friday, September 30, 11:00am–Noon and 1:00–2:00pm The Arts Center hosts the Albany Berkshire Ballet in two invitational outreach performances for area schoolchildren. The ballet “Mother Goose Suite” is a collection of dances based on characters from the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose. Created to introduce young people to the marvels of dance, this ballet translates such favorites as “Little Miss Muffet,” “Three Little Kittens," “Three Blind Mice,” “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary,” “Old King Cole,” and “The Cat and the Fiddle” from the page to the stage. This ballet is set to an original score by composer Christopher Culpo.
