Executive Director’s Message

Dear Members and Friends, We all love stories. Stories capture our imagination and make personal connections. Art has the power to make an individual story a universal experience. In most work, a personal story that accompanies either a single work, a body of work or an artist process can create an extraordinary art experience for the viewer. This season we are excited to present diverse exhibitions and performances that tell many stories and capture our imagination. In choosing our 2012 season, we have created a series of public programs that offer a diverse range of visual and performing arts experiences, from photos of Dylan to portraits of Degas, from Broadway to Blues, and from comic to dramatic. It is a season that features stories which highlight our cultural and social history and remind us of the memorable moments in our lives.

Joseph Madeira SVAC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Southern Vermont Arts Center itself has a rich story dating back to the early 1900’s. Located on 100 acres on the slope of Mt. Equinox, the stunning grounds include an expansive sculpture garden and botany trail, a 400 seat performing arts center, a 100 year-old historic mansion, an education center and our Elizabeth de C.

Sincerely, Joseph Madeira

A short history of SVAC

History

Some of the founders of the Southern Vermont Artists, on the steps of the old Gymnasium of Burr and Burton Seminary [now Academy] in Manchester.

The majesty and nature of Southern Vermont has beckoned both artists and art lovers to the scenic havens of Dorset and Manchester since the late 1800’s. In historian Mary Hard Bort’s Art and Soul, her definitive history of the Arts Center, the story of the Southern Vermont Arts Center begins on a late summer day in August of 1922. Our journey to the Southern Vermont Arts Center of today truly began when a small collective of local artists known as The Dorset Painters* invited the community to an exhibition.

Rockwell joined in 1945. As the event’s momentum grew, so did the need for an organization to fulfill the swelling interest and demands. A group of prominent residents and business owners, looking to ensure the longevity of this budding organization, formed the Southern Vermont Artists, Inc.

The townspeople came and saw the work of their neighbors which so impressed and fed the hunger for the arts in the community that it propelled the exhibition into a celebrated annual event not to be missed. Within five years, the 1927 exhibit of more than 100 paintings attracted over 1600 guests from all walks of life--from just down the hill to over 28 states and as far as Canada, Norway, England, Wales and Algeria.

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.”

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 1930’s; Dean Fausett in 1940; Norman

The various people behind those impressive titles – Mrs George Orvis, Bartlett Arkell, Walter R. 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.

By the late 1940’s, 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.’” 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.

Richard Ketchum

Today: A tribute to the founders The ensuing years have witnessed growth and invigoration akin to that experienced by the original SVA in the 1930’s. 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. Our artist neighbors who have exhibited out here on the hill have grown in number and in acclaim. Our visitors now number in the thousands each year. The enduring legacy of our founders is the inspiration to share and experience the arts with our community, and it continues to this day. * Learn More about our history online at www.svac.org Art & Soul - The History of the Southern Vermont Arts Center by Mary Hard Bort

Mining the Past & Present: Works by Joe Fig June 23 – September 3, 2012

Curated by Jennifer Jankauskas

Painter and sculptor Joe Fig unravels the myth of the artist. Much like a historian or an anthropologist, Fig undertakes meticulous research to unearth how artists create their work. In an early series of paintings and sculptures, Fig involved his subjects directly through observation, conversations, photographs and videotapes during studio visits. The resulting artworks—painstakingly detailed miniature portraits of each artist in their studio—are a glimpse into the practices of individual artists. These works demonstrate much of the solitary nature of artistic endeavors. In a new body of work, portraits of 19th century painters at the dawn of modernism, Fig turns his eye to the past. Unable to rely on first person accounts, these paintings are partly born from Fig’s imagination, as they are his interpretations of available resources. Fig looks through the lens of another artistic investigation—Ross King’s written account, The Judgment of Paris: Manet, Meissonier and an Artistic Revolution, 2006. As such, Fig visually translates King’s artistic study while adding his own envisioned narrative to historical events such as the Salon of 1863. As a result, these paintings are not only an examination into the individual artistic process

but also the nature of artistic communities. Fig depicts the camaraderie and the competition that push artists to greater heights. This exhibition highlights the arc of Fig’s search into the artistic psyche and practice to date. On view is one of his first pieces, a painted portrait of his worktable; the painted palettes of both historical and contemporary artists; portraits of Édouard Manet (1832–1883) and Jean-Louis Ernest Meissonier (1815 –1891) along with painted and sculpted portraits of his own contemporaries and their workspaces. Through these pieces, Fig provides an intimate glimpse into the enigmatic world of the artist at work. He reveals both the introspective aspects and the social constructs of the art world as experienced by his peers and by artists rooted in the annals of art history.

Storm clouds are gathering over Vermont’s barns. Each year, hundreds of barns disappear from the Vermont landscape due to decay, neglect and development. Many are magnificent structures representing innovative architectural design, with a grace and beauty which transcends their utilitarian purpose. The pride of craftsmanship with which these farmer/architect/builders designed these barns is evident in every detail, while the Yankee aesthetic based in simplicity is apparent in every line. The huge cost involved in maintaining and restoring these barns forces many farmers to reluctantly abandon their barns and erect new structures which are cheaper to build and better suited to modern dairy and agricultural practices. Each barn that disappears represents a part of our historic heritage that will not be replaced. When they’re gone, they’re gone. Alan Nyiri, an artist and photographer living in Poultney Vermont, is preserving this heritage in the best way he knows – by photographing them as they stand, and transforming those images into living, breathing works of art. “We may be losing the bodies of our heirloom barns, but I intend to preserve their souls for future generations.” Alan Nyiri, 2012 Generous support provided by The Preservation Trust of Vermont

The allure of flowers is timeless and cross cultural. Throughout the ages artists have understood the essential nature of a flower’s ability to express powerful beauty and have been inspired to interpret and capture this. Flowers accompany life events in every culturethey symbolize nature, they illustrate religious meaning, they give quiet moments, and they express deep human emotions. There are examples of flower painting from early Chinese and Japanese art, millefiorisurround the words in medieval manuscripts, the fleur de lis an abstraction of the lily has become a symbol of France. Dutch and Flemish art produced specialists exclusively to paint super realistic flowers; Monet built his magnificent garden at Giverny in order to have a constant subject matter at hand. Van Gogh’s sunflowers have become post-impressionist icons, Georgia O’Keefe’s allegorical use of close up flower shapes are sensitive interpretations of life and nature and Joseph Raffael’s large watercolors of flowers are visual events. Stamens and Stems features artists who present the various ways the flower idea can be expressed. The Southern Vermont Arts Center is pleased to mount this unique group exhibition of over 100 artists-a veritable garden of paintings brought to life by artistic imagination and the simple beauty of flowers.

SVAC Article

The Art of Jay Hall Connaway in Our Time

f it were possible for Jay Hall Connaway to witness the new installation of his art at Southern Vermont Arts Center (July 28th–October 21st, 2012), he’d cough up an acerbic remark and then exit, or want to, but not in response to the assemblage or the buzz about why his style and subjects have roused a new generation of followers and collectors. Bound by ardent sensibilities and the rigor of a life devoted to art, Connaway would note, out loud, a modicum of painterly modifications and moan about, or damn, the unmistakable similarities in present-day culture as a painful reminder of and parallel world to his own. He would, undoubtedly, disengage but recognize the hardships and the drone of difficulties in the asides of visitors as an intervening atmosphere darkening the room. The ambiance would drive him out of doors and bound for his North Rupert studio. He’d find that relatively the same too, but under renovation following the wreckage of Hurricane Irene. Well-acquainted with adversity and trauma in his own time, Connaway would concede the power of nature over culture and get back to work. During the era marked by the political, economic, and social upheaval of World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II – an improbable backdrop for artistic success – Connaway earned 85 lifetime one-man exhibitions. Poignantly, as contemporary audiences of art and all Americans contend with uncertain economics, the cost of war, the consequences of infringement on the balance of nature, Connaway’s weather-beaten landscapes and unified themes reaffirm his significance. If his mystic presence were possible, Jay Connaway would search for another extraordinary landscape and meaning but in his own realm of seclusion, and now his absence, he has left us with his art. In his daily practice of painting, Connaway first noted the play of color and atmosphere. Color, he observed, was a tonal relationship – not color itself – and all subject matter and compositional elements were subject to the tonal relationship known as the “super color.” The super color is the hue influenced by natural or interior light sources that

become a part of every object in the field of vision. The super color envelops and surrounds objects and form in the atmosphere. If, for example, we view the landscape as the sun is setting – trees, grass, and hills all contain an aspect of that setting sun. The orange or red glow conveys, distinctly, the time of day as an essential context for all nuance in the “language” of nature. Connaway often said, “Nature is my dictionary,” and over the progression of his training, travels, and secluded life in Maine and Vermont, the painter acquired the ability to portray the preeminence of nature by developing proficiency in fields of study unrelated to landscape art. Over and above examining the atmospheric tessellations of light on color and form, Connaway studied rock formations with the precise examination of a geologist; observed like a dendrologist the lithe pliability of trees under gale force wind; and as a trained Coastguardsman, he was able to calculate the influence of tides on coastal topography. To paint the sea, he said, an artist needed to understand the action of breaking waves. Critics referred to him as “the finest sea painter of his time” and a “painter of poetry” but Connaway thought of himself as a student of the sea and weatherworn land. Connaway’s success in painting the “moods of nature,” was influenced by his association with Robert Henri (1865-1929), a New York Social Realist and leader of the Ashcan School. Connaway met Henri in 1911 while auditing night classes at the National Academy of Design. Henri had experimented with “hot” and “cold” color palettes, mixing the super color with white to create gradations of “lights,” based on the theory that white did not coincide with spectrum light sources and therefore neutralized or dulled the composition. Connaway’s broader influences and training, however, may be traced back much further. Jay Hall Connaway was born in 1893 in Liberty, Indiana during a period of rapid progress and transformation in America. The eldest of two sons born to May Brown and Cass 45 27

Connaway, the senior Connaway was a prominent Indianapolis lawyer and a collector of Chinese art. By the time Connaway had begun drawing in 1902, he was a discerning child who would come of age in a nation and a world reckoning with beginnings and endings. Early 20th century developments in the fields of science, politics, literature, and art immeasurably influenced daily life for Americans. Capitalism and trends in urbanization, immigration, and individualism created pathways of social engineering for greater numbers of people, and a more highly mechanized world created opportunities and change worldwide. In the year that Jay Connaway began drawing, Henri Matisse had established the Fauvist Movement in Paris, the Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams, and a hurricane ravaged Galvaston, Texas killing between 6,000 and 8,000 people. Carrie Chapman Catt succeeded Susan B. Anthony as president of the Women’s Suffrage Association. Unemployment was at 5% and increasing each year; yet for the first time, a dominant middle class invested in the belief of upward mobility, in revolutionary technology, and political progress. This storm of change also ignited opposition and backlash from traditional powers that would contribute to two brutal wars and, in the inter-war period, a protracted economic depression. At age seventeen Connaway began formal training at the John Herron Art Institute in Indianapolis under William Forsyth. A landscape painter in the American Impressionist style, Forsyth’s coastal Oregon views likely motivated Connaway to view the sea firsthand. Two years into his studies, Connaway’s father objected to his son’s becoming a painter. Anxious to leave a quarrelsome home life, Connaway made his way up the California coastline and then cross-country by stoking

engines for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad. Arriving in New York, he studied an additional two years under scholarship at the Art Students League with American Impressionist William Merritt Chase (1849-1916) and George Bridgman (1865-1943). It was during this time that Connaway became acquainted with Robert Henri. The New York Realists, American Impressionists, Regionalists, and the avantgarde Modernists introduced at the Armory Show of 1913, comprised the broad influences on Connaway’s education. Young and restless, Connaway then toured New England to study the coastal rock formations and swells of the sea. He became a cook at a lumber camp in Maine and doryman with a fishing fleet off the coast of Newfoundland. In 1916, Connaway shared studio space alongside his former teacher William Merritt Chase at the 10th Street Studio Building in New York and might have taken a pace further in his career but, instead, took a life-altering sidestep. He met Alfred Milch, of Milch Galleries, an influential dealer willing to sponsor the young artist; but in 1917 with war escalating in Europe, the 24 year-old enlisted and shipped out to Contrexeville, France. Not long into his tour of duty, Connaway suffered a shoulder wound and found himself reassigned as a cartographer and then, significantly, to a task he often referred to as the most important work of his career. Under doctors of Lilly Corporation from his hometown of Indianapolis, Connaway received paramedic training and prepared anatomical drawings of lesions to the faces, throats, and lungs of soldiers affected by mustard gas exposure. Precise scientific observation and the painstaking discipline required by medical illustration put into perspective the intractable consequences and impact of advanced technology on warfare. Upon his honorable discharge in 1919, the army doctors under whom Connaway had served sponsored the artist’s study at Academie Julian. That same year, his painting, Harmonies du Sur was accepted for the Paris Autumn Salon. The doctors again sponsored Connaway’s studies at Ecole des Beau Arts for another term and in 1922, the painter returned stateside with a portfolio. On the returning ship, fortuitously enough, Connaway made an essential contact in Frederick Keppel, an executive with the philanthropic organization Carnegie Corporation. Keppel owned an international art and print firm and was impressed enough to introduce Connaway to Robert Macbeth of Macbeth Gallery, New York. Connaway’s first of many one-man shows was held at Macbeth in 1923.

SVAC Article sending her husband’s work to New York along with copious update letters to Macbeth and Arkell. The couple’s only child, Leonebel Marie Frances was born in Pont Aven in 1929. Many of Connaway’s figurative studies of women and religious icons emerged from this period in Brittany. Lone figures or groups of anguished and bent women are pictured bearing up under toil or a battering of driving wind.

Again Connaway traveled, painting intermittently in the Adirondack Mountains with frequent trips back to New York. Increasingly in need of isolation, and undoubtedly suffering from the effects of post-traumatic stress, Connaway painted in Peru, Vermont in 1926 presumably at the suggestion of a man who would become his long-time patron. A favorable review by the art critic Royal Cortissoz prompted Bartlett Arkell, a Manchester summer resident and co-founder of Southern Vermont Artists, to arrange a meeting with Connaway through Robert Macbeth. Arkell, President of BeechNut Packing Company, was a collector of American art, and founder of the Canajoharie Library and Art Gallery. With additional backing from Robert Macbeth, supplemented by cash from artists Paul Dougherty and Emil Carlsen, and advice from painter Frederick Waugh, Connaway, “seeking to paint the lonely sea” found his way to the uninhabited island of Head Harbor off the coast of Jonesport, Maine. Living a hermit’s existence, he depicted elemental nature as both haunting and healing. He then enlisted with the Coastguard and later painted at the coast of Newfoundland where he found work with a Grand Banks fleet. In 1927, Connaway met Louise Boehl, a nurse at Fifth Avenue Hospital in Manhattan, and a classically trained pianist and singer. Sacrificing her ambitions to her partner’s, the couple married in 1928 despite her family’s disapproval. The Arkells hosted a wedding reception for the Connaways at their West 10th Street home and directly afterward, Arkell and Macbeth sent the newlyweds to Brittany, France. The couple lodged at Pont Aven where Connaway found the hard-drinking, card-playing Bretagne artists distracting. To avoid interruptions he walked six miles each day to paint by the sea. Louise took on the role of coach, art critic, and promoter,

When the Connaways returned to the United States in 1931, to a nation overcome by the Depression, they were insolvent and parents of a two-year old. Again, Bartlett Arkell and Robert Macbeth sponsored the artist. The Connaways moved to a studio in Portland, Maine and then to a rental on Monhegan Island before settling into a house on which Arkell held the mortgage. They lived without electricity, running water, and standard conveniences. To supplement his income, Connaway opened an art school. Louise worked in an unpaid capacity as island nurse for a community of fewer than fifty year-round residents. For seventeen years Connaway portrayed Monhegan’s rugged terrain and tempestuous weather patterns. Critics described Connaway’s bold, slashing brushwork as “masculine Impressionism,” though, by design, his compositions did not convey impressions of the moment or effects of light. Using flattened form and suppressed tones Connaway’s subject matter and atmospheres express in poetic terms a sense of on-going adversity and timeless, universal themes. In many compositions from the 30’s, the vantage point abandons the viewer in the path of on-coming waves or storms. The relentless pounding of the elements striking the coastline echoed waves of shock and disappointment in the failed economy. The sense of pending danger in the work of this period reflected Connaway’s response to the personal hardships that confronted many Americans and undoubtedly artists during the Great Depression. At the outbreak of the Second World War, the Connaways left the island temporarily and found jobs toward the war effort at American Car and Foundry Company in Berwick, Pennsylvania. Connaway worked the assembly line but was reassigned to create drawings for the tank parts catalogue. Connaway returned to Monhegan each summer to tend school business and art sales.

29 47

When Bartlett Arkell died in 1946, he left in his will the Monhegan property to Connaway. Desiring new subject matter, an easier lifestyle, and recalling his earlier association with Southern Vermont Artists, Inc. the Connaways moved to Dorset, Vermont in 1947. Reinvigorated, Connaway explored the potency and features of an interior New England landscape including the region’s marble quarries, high peaks, valleys, and rivers. In 1953 the family purchased a home on the Mettowee Creek in North Rupert where Connaway reopened his art school. A student of Connaway’s

Inevitably, country living brought Connaway to experience and express the harmonies of nature and human edifice. In his Vermont paintings, farmsteads and the natural environment are interrelated in a mood of seeming changelessness and solemnity. Still, Connaway’s virtuoso brushwork and spectrum palette accentuate the spectacle of unremitting weather in the sky. Through the 1950’s, eclipsed by the momentous ascent of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Connaway’s searching themes translated the elemental power of nature as an emotionally experienced and timeless landscape. Assessing post-Modernism as approaching meaning yet never coming to it, Connaway wrote in his journal, This game called art, what is it? Am not sure I know. It seems that Realism, a style of saying nothing very well; and Modernism, a style of saying absolutely nothing very, very badly. There must be a middle. Correspondingly, Connaway’s pantheistic interpretation of nature does not entirely coincide with his Christian themed work. The sacred subjects can be attributed to the many crucifix statues he viewed on the beaches at Brittany; Connaway may have painted religious images to please his wife and mollify his own unrest, yet he was more devoted to exploring meanings than pronouncements. Culture, he understood, progressed as a result of the tension between independence and conformity. Connaway’s professional stature increasingly brought him closer to the community. Recalling his hospital service during World War I, he set up a curriculum for returning servicemen at his art school under the GI Bill. In 1962, Connaway merged the school with the Southern Vermont Arts Center and became the school’s first director. He offered lectures and demonstrations as well as instruction in the Manchester public schools and Burr and Burton Academy. His work was widely collected and the artist remains a folk hero of local acclaim.

In the final decade of his life, Connaway painted in Portugal, Spain, California, and Arizona. In the last year of his life, troubled with poor eyesight and failing health, Connaway was no longer able to paint. Looking again at Connaway in 2012, in this, his sixth museum exhibition since 2009, his paintings make it possible to think of him, living out his last months a contemplative, as someone for whom the end of painting foreshadowed the conclusion of his life, but not his art. I like to think that Jay Connaway’s last meditation was not an awareness of lifetime strivings but of the uplifting and enduring influences of art to which his temporal body and fearsome genius acceded. Jay Hall Connaway died on February 18, 1970 while at his winter home in Green Valley, Arizona. His ashes were interred in the falls of the Mettowee Creek behind his studio in North Rupert, Vermont.
