�A VIEW FROM THE SHORE: WINSLOW HOMER’S IMPRESSION FROM THE COAST
OCTOBER 16–DECEMBER 17, 2021
Winslow Homer (1836–1910) is regarded by many as the preeminent American painter of the 19th
century, well known for his dynamic renditions of scenes from the coast. His rise to prominence was
greatly due to his work as an illustrator for the then-booming pictorial press—an outlet that brought
Homer’s imagery into hundreds of thousands of homes on a nearly weekly basis. During his tenure with
such publications as Ballou’s Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion, Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper,
and Harper’s Weekly, Homer created more than 200 illustrations. His career as an illustrator began in
1857 and ended in 1875, at which point he dedicated himself solely to painting. Homer’s images were
admired early for their engaging style and dynamic composition.

Landau Traveling Exhibitions.
Following a trip to Europe, illustrated in the double-spread impression Homeward Bound (1867), Homer’s
compositions for the press became noticeably more developed and sophisticated. Impressions including
Gloucester Harbor (1873), Sea Side Sketches—A Clam-Bake (1873), and Seesaw-Gloucester, Massachusetts
(1874) reflect a mature understanding and relationship to the engraving process. Though he did not
participate in the printing of the block, Homer did have approval over the interpretation of his imagery
and only used specific engravers for his impressions, maintaining his involvement in the process.
The prints on display are selected from the original newspaper editions. The pictorial press enlisted an
army of artists, engravers, platemakers, and printers to publish these works. While it is the draftsmen we
focus on, the unnamed craftsmen who engraved and printed these images deserve recognition for
bringing these mass-produced publications into the homes of 19th-century families.
This exhibition is organized by Syracuse University Art Museum and curated by Andrew Saluti.

art in Edo period Japan (1615–1858). Female characters in literature, kabuki theater, and poetry; the
courtesans and geisha of the Yoshiwara district; and wives and mothers from different social classes
performing the duties of their station are depicted in ways that provide some insight into the lives of
women in pre-modern Japan.

silkscreen. © Jacob Lawrence, courtesy of Landau Traveling Exhibitions.
Based on biblical texts and his own memory of the Sunday sermons of the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr.
at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, Jacob Lawrence’s “Genesis” series provides a
richly personal interpretation. The bright colors and the expressive, monumental preacher figure that
stands central in each work reflect the artist’s affinity for action and resonance given in the sermon.
Inspired by realism and details of iconography, these silkscreen prints also reveal Lawrence’s interest in
references from art history and, together with a universally celebrated narrative, provides an important
voice to American art and artists.
About the Artist
Since his first published print in 1963, Jacob Lawrence (1917—2000) produced a body of prints that is both
highly dramatic and intensely personal. In his graphic work, as in his paintings, Lawrence has turned to
the lessons of history and his own experience. From depictions of civil rights confrontations to scenes of
daily life, these images present a vision of a common struggle toward unity and equality, and a universal
struggle deeply seated in the depths of the human consciousness.
The works are on loan courtesy of the collection of Alitash Kebede of Los Angeles, CA. The exhibition and
museum tour are organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, CA.
“Jacob Lawrence: Three Series of Prints: Genesis—Toussaint L’Ouverture—Hiroshima” is made possible

This collection of prints is based on 41 tempera paintings from a series by the same name completed in
1938. Lawrence received his inspiration from C.L.R. James’ book, The Black Jacobins: Toussaint
L’Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution (1938), a widely acclaimed history of the Haitian Revolution
regarded as a seminal text in the study of the African diaspora. Toussaint L’Ouverture was the
commander-in-chief of the Haitian army who led the slave rebellion into a revolutionary movement
against Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1800 L’Ouverture helped draw up Haiti’s first democratic constitution,
but he was arrested by Napoleon’s troops and sent to Paris, where he died in prison in 1803. L’Ouverture
is known as the “Father of Haiti.”

recordings, of which he has sold more than 15 million albums, including a Grammy
Award for the album, Forest. Winston’s primary interest is in New Orleans R&B piano,
influenced by James Booker, Professor Longhair, and Henry Butler; however, Winston

developed by Thomas “Fats” Waller and Teddy Wilson.
George Winston’s classic albums, Autumn and December, are perennial favorites, along with Winter into
Spring, Summer, 2017’s Spring Carousel–A Cancer Research Benefit, as well as two volumes of the
compositions of Vince Guaraldi, two volumes of benefit albums for the Gulf Coast disasters, and six other
solo piano albums. He just released his 15th solo piano album, Restless Wind, via Dancing Cat
Records/RCA Records. The album is available now at georgewinston.com.
For this conversational concert, Winston will focus on “Fats” Waller’s influence on his own compositions.
Waller, who was somewhat of a child prodigy, was an organist at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in
Harlem—the same church Jacob Lawrence attended.

NOVEMBER 18–DECEMBER 18, 2020
Jacob Lawrence, (1917-2000), Playground, from the “Hiroshima” series, 1983, silkscreen. © Jacob Lawrence,
courtesy of Landau Traveling Exhibitions.
Lawrence received an invitation by the Limited Editions Club of New York to illustrate any book of his
choice from the club’s numerous titles. Lawrence wrote that he selected John Hersey’s narrative,
Hiroshima, because “of its power, insight, scope, and sensitivity, as well as for its overall content.”
These works illustrate a series of events taking place in a marketplace, playground, street scene and
other sites at the moment of the bombing on August 6, 1945.
John Hersey, a noted American writer and journalist, is considered one of the earliest practitioners of
what was called “New Journalism,” in which storytelling techniques are adapted to non-fiction
reportage. Hersey’s account of the aftermath of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and the
effect on six Japanese citizens, was published in its entirety in the August 31, 1946 issue of The New
Yorker. This was the first and only time the magazine has devoted an entire issue to a work by one
writer.

�A. AUBREY BODINE: OUR TOWN
JANUARY 29–MARCH 21, 2021
A. Aubrey Bodine, The Big Freeze, 1936. Silver gelatin print. ©
A. Aubrey Bodine (1906–1970), although probably best remembered for his association with the Baltimore
Sun, was among the early Pictorialist photographers—an aesthetic movement that emphasized romantic
beauty over documented reality. This exhibition of more than 20 photographs, some of which have been
exhibited internationally, features urban and rural vignettes that expand beyond the city “beat” to
include poetic and nostalgic images of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, Maryland in the mid-20th
century.

AUGUST 29–OCTOBER 27, 2019

American art changed significantly between the late 19th and early 20th centuries when artists moved
from European-style landscapes and monumental portraits to intimate subjects of the American
countryside and portraits of those around them. This exhibition of over 40 works highlights this shift
through the vision of artists Arthur Bowen Davies, Henry Ward Ranger, George Inness, Ernest Lawson,
Willard Metcalf, Edward Redfield, Charles Hawthorne, Georg Luks, and John Sloan. Also included in the
exhibition are “The American Ten,” a group founded by John Henry Twachtman, J. Alden Weir, and
Childe Hassam, who were dissatisfied with the conservatism of the American art establishment, and “The
Eight,” a group of urban realists led Robert Henri.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Rex and Katharine Pingle with additional support provided
by James W. Cheevers.
“American Impressionism: Treasures from the Daywood Collection” is organized by the Huntington
Museum of Art and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington DC.

�THE LIFE AND ART OF MARY PETTY
NOVEMBER 5–DECEMBER 15, 2019
Mary Petty, Thanksgiving Dinner, The New Yorker Magazine, cover illustration, November 25, 1944.
Watercolor and ink on paper.
Cartoonist Mary Petty (1899–1976) is known for the witty and pointed cartoons of the upper class of early
20th century America that appeared in The New Yorker for 39 years. Some of Petty’s earliest illustrations
featured independent, free-thinking women, while her later works concentrated on the lifestyles and
attitudes of inherited wealth and her invented Peabody family. Petty was married to fellow New Yorker
cartoonist Alan Dunn, whose works are also included in the exhibition. Dunn’s works, which comment on
architecture, politics, and social issues, complement Petty’s observations on modern life. The spirit of
their independent compositions, unified by a shared sense of humor, is timeless.
This exhibition is generously sponsored by Patrick F. Crossman in memory of Elizabeth D. Crossman,
with support from Peggy Sue Atterbury and Joan Vinson.
Additional support is provided by Anonymous, Tara Balfe Clifford/Cliftara Bed ‘n Breakfast, George
and Madeleine Hughes, Pamela McKee, Thea B. Pinsky, and Eric and JanElaine Smith.
“The Life and Art of Mary Petty” is organized by the Syracuse University Art Galleries.

�RETOOLED: HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE HECHINGER COLLECTION
JANUARY 9–FEBRUARY 23, 2020
Hans Godo Frabel, Hammers and Nails, 1980, glass.

This exhibition of thoughtful and whimsical interpretations of tools as objects of beauty, or instruments
of satire, features more than 40 imaginative works in sculpture, painting, photography, and works on
paper. Berenice Abbott, William Eggleston, Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Arman, Richard
Estes, Red Grooms, Fernand Léger, and Roger Shimomura are among the 28 artists represented. These
creations serve as reminders that tools embody the “can-do” spirit and may be an extension of oneself.
The works on view are part of a massive collection originally belonging to hardware-industry pioneer John
Hechinger.
This exhibition is made possible through a leadership gift from the Helena Foundation and is
generously sponsored by PNC Bank and Anne S. Potter. Additional support is provided by David and
Laura Watt, Richard and Carole Falk, and Katie Blyth + Gary Brown + Brogan Brown.

PROGRAMS AND EVENTS
March 8 Lecture, 3 p.m. Eva Fognell, curator of the Eugene and Clare Thaw Collection of
American Indian Art at the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, NY, will lecture on From
Old Masters to Native American Masters: The Thaw Collection American Indian Art.
The Eugene and Clare Thaw Collection of American Indian Art—consisting of more than 875
objects spanning 20 centuries from throughout North America—is the most significant
Eva Fognell
American Indian Art collection donated to the American public since the depression era,
and was stunningly and quickly formed by Eugene and Clare Thaw over the course of a few short years.
At the collection’s core is an unwavering philosophy; that in any culture a small percentage of things
stand out as masterpieces by virtue of their superb craftsmanship, visual power, historical association,
and cultural meanings. Gene Thaw put it this way: “I want to stress that I look at Indian material culture
as art,” he states. “To me, it is co-equal to any of my own highest experiences in pursuing the arts of
many nations both as dealer and collector. It stands rightfully with ancient art, with masterpieces of Asia
and Europe, as their equivalent, and I wish it would be looked at this way.”
Registration required.

�Image & Imagination:
Anne Arundel County Juried Exhibition
It must take an incredible leap of faith to contemplate a blank canvas, paper or other visual media while preparing to render an image or idea in the mind’s eye.
Artists are visual poets and we are fortunate to enjoy the products of their eforts which enrich our experience and encourage us to think diferently about our world
and where we ft within it.
I was honored to serve as juror for the Mitchell Gallery’s biannual Image & Imagination exhibition celebrating the great artistic talent of the Anne Arundel
community. It has been a privilege to view and assess a dazzling array of submissions in all variety of media. Choosing three award winners was extremely
challenging, but ultimately I went with what spoke to me on something of a spiritual level. As Best in Show, Sally Wern Comport’s beautifully drawn illustration
Harriet Tubman, Song of Freedom speaks to social issues we must confront on a daily basis. It portrays the bravery and strength of Harriet Tubman, the heroic
escaped slave who helped so many others through the covert network known as the Underground Railroad. Comport was commissioned to paint murals for the
Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park in Church Creek, Maryland, where one can see this scene on a large scale as part of the narrative of
Tubman’s life.
To recognize the outstanding photographic submissions I selected a digital print for Best Two-Dimensional prize. Te prismatic, A Starry Night by John T. Hanou
resonated with me. Here, stars appear in the form of watery droplets among a framework that suggests a magnifed view of organic matter. In titling this work afer
the iconic painting by Van Gogh, the artist draws some interesting parallels. Hanou began his photographic work in 1971 and has found ways to dynamically expand
the camera’s efects through digital “darkroom” manipulation. As explained on his web page: “I try to capture the world as we know it, and ofer it in a manner we
have not thought of.”
Te choice for Best Tree-Dimensional work, De Divina Proportione by Eddie Lavin is from the aptly named series Transcendance. As an avid fan of Italian
Renaissance art, I was drawn to the fgure emerging from the unblemished surface of the cold and beautiful marble like a living being. Lavin works in pure marble
mined in Italy, perhaps the most beautiful medium for its purity and surface smoothness. His title is taken from Pico della Mirandola’s 1486 Oration on the Dignity of
Man, a key treatise of Renaissance Humanism, vastly infuential to giants like Raphael and Michelangelo. Lavin’s idealized form refects the proportions delineated in
della Mirandola’s writings.
Te scope of Image & Imagination includes works that fall within four basic genres: landscape or nature, still-life, portraiture or fgural, and abstraction. Tese are
presented in a wide variety of media and artistic perspectives. It’s a great opportunity to see how varied approaches interact with one another revealing multiple layers
of perception, efectively channeling a visual dialog. Among the technical tours de force is Deborah Kommalan’s still-life Wasted, depicting an overturned glass with
amber liquid and ice cubes splashing out of the picture plane, seemingly aimed toward the viewer. Tis is a masterful trompe l’oeil (literally meaning to fool the eye),
a genre introduced and perfected by Dutch and Italian Old Master painters. In the same tradition is the assemblage of pop culture snack foods, candy, cigars and
whiskey expertly rendered in Mary Ellen Geissenhainer’s drawing Bob’s Provisions. Te charming Pottery and Chinese Lanterns painted by Nancy McCarra recalls
works by William Merritt Chase recently exhibited at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Both are inspired by Asian aesthetics and efectively use color to
accent smaller objects. Te sense of quietude in these carefully arranged still-lifes imparts serenity. Some of them might tempt the viewer to reach in and handle the
inanimate objects.
Among the many lovely landscape views, Rick Schimpf ’s Annapolis Snow Day uses perspective to efectively draw the eye towards the steeple of St. Anne’s
Episcopal Church in the heart of Annapolis. Tis has appeal for locals and visitors alike. Mike Torpe’s Clouds and Steam is an arresting photograph of a classic,
steam-powered locomotive. Te heavy cloud cover seamlessly merges with the smoke from the engine, dominating the scene. Te absence of color is the perfect
choice for this mechanical subject which imparts the expansionist vision of 19th century America. Technical control as well as a unique approach to landscape
combine in Janice Hendra’s Ancestral, a compelling blend of representation and abstraction. Te high horizon line with shapes of houses foats above a fattened
foreground with stenciled circles.
Tere are some eloquent portraits in this show. Sandra Cohen, Harry Lloyd Jaecks, and Andree Tullier are impressive drafsmen of the human form. Possibly the
most challenging of genres, portraits are most successful when they reveal some aspect of personality rather than a strictly mirror image. In Cohen’s Golden Shawl,
a wistful young lady gazes into the distance, deep in thought. Jaecks’ Deadrise Captain, a masterful half-fgure, appears focused and listening, while Tullier’s pastel,
Gabriel, captures an enigmatic expression on a sensitive youth. Also in the fgural category, Kathy Daywalt’s lighthearted and joy-flled watercolor Lucent Dream is a
decorative approach combining shapes and patterns in a pallete of blue and gold. Te woman in blue merges with the swirls and discs of the background in an efect
evocative of Art Nouveau master Gustave Klimt.
Non-objective works which address composition, balance and color can be universal in appeal. Martin Beadle’s engaging mixed media Assembly presents four rows
of brightly colored fbers dangling from horizontal twigs. Tis assemblage of color dances in front of a woven background of thin vertical strands. In her photograph
Swirling Paper, Tara Cliford creates a fascinating arrangement of circular forms fowing across the surface in hypnotic, undulating waves. Among the few artists
working in traditional printmaking, Mark Lindley’s lithograph Pilgrimage is a stand-out. His calligraphic black lines seem to contain countless human fgures layered
with patches of sof color in a mid-century modernist ethic.
Ingenuity and imagination are foremost in several of the three-dimensional works. As a curator employed in a library setting, I responded to Kass McGowan’s
multi-media made from found objects. Te tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt, combines pages from an encyclopedia book-ended by a pair of carved architectural forms.
Cindy Winnick’s Ruby Burlesque is a whimsical mannequin wearing a red feathered boa perched casually on a stool, one leg crossed over the other. I was compelled to
wonder: is she a parody or a celebration of individuality?
Tere are eighty-three artists represented in this exhibition and I want to congratulate them and thank the staf of the Mitchell Gallery, especially director Hydee
Schaller, art educator Lucinda Edinberg, and preparator Neal Falanga, for pulling together this expansive and ambitious show. We’re excited to present this selection
of the area’s fnest artists and artworks. Teirs is a calling that is deserving of recognition and support. I hope visitors will be attracted by the variety of imagery and
media to return and discover many more wonders than could be included in this appraisal.

National Park Service’s Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center in Blackwater
National Wildlife Refuge, the intention of the painting through palette, expression and the large
life-size reproduction of this original artwork, is to capture the dramatic retelling of her story
within the exhibit. Contact: sally@artatlargeinc.com
�Carolyn Adreon Councell (Pasadena, MD)
It was my intention to project the beauty and fragility of nature in my painting "Red Winged
Blackbird." This is a scene I have experienced which has remained with me for years. I believe
that being aware of our environment is so important to our quality of life which we need to
protect. Contact: caramarb@aol.com
Carol Cowie (Annapolis, MD)
Whether I am outdoors or in my studio, my painting always starts with an idea. Sometimes it is
the light, or a play of patterns and rhythms of shadows, magnificent skies, or simply a bold color.
I always compose my concept in a small sketch I am excited about and stick to my idea. I believe
a good design is the bones of a good painting. From there it is all fun mixing color, changing up
brushwork, variation in edges, calligraphy, and dynamic energy. Paintings need to be expressive
and draw the viewer in without a lot of detail, so I stick to my lifelong professional motto: keep it
simple. Contact: carol@carolcowie.com
Barbara Dahlberg (Crofton, MD)
My favorite subjects for my art quilts are animals. I love the vast array of facial expressions and
body language that I can dramatize in fabric and turn into whimsical portraits of our furry and
feathered friends. Contact: barbaradg@comcast.net
Kathy Daywalt (Glen Burnie, MD)
Intuition and reaction are two tools I enjoy employing when working with watercolor on YUPO.

there, adding texture and pattern to enrich the whole. Contact: kath@daywalt.net
Karen Elaine deGraffenreid (Annapolis, MD)
Karen Elaine is a retired educator who discovered a talent in watercolor after retiring from the

Trish Doty (Arnold, MD)
I look at watercolor as a visual language which I strive to interpret through light and color,
composition and mood. I favor subjects that have a sense of history and enjoy sharing those
stories through my paintings. Contact: trishdoty@icloud.com
Jim Earl (Crownsville, MD)

Nina Maria Ellsworth (Edgewater, MD)
In my work I strive to capture the specificity of a moment in time by depicting everyday places
and objects, whether a downtown street on a rainy spring morning or the fall of morning light
across a vase. I am an Annapolis native and love to paint on-location around town and
beyond. Contact: nina.ellsworth@gmail.com
�Anita Louise Ewing (Edgewater, MD)

James H. Finnerty (Arnold, MD)
I have been taking photos for over 65 years and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every
minute. I am also looking forward to lighter and faster cameras and to programs that will allow
me to take images and turn them into art. Contact: jfinnerty08@gmail.com
James Fitzsimmons (Baltimore, MD)
My work stems from a desire to use the world and the objects in it to convey a personal sense of
reality. I work towards representation beyond that of mere depiction or emulation. The world, its
spaces and objects have a hidden meaning for me.
My best work comes from the struggle of how a painting or drawing develops. The truth is,
things appear and disappear and ultimately the work becomes what it wants to be.
Great works of art are something like icons for me; they possess a soul. I would like my work to
be the same. Contact: Jamesfitzsimmonsartist.com
Catherine Fuller (Annapolis, MD)
White Orchids - Like many watercolor artists, I enjoy painting flowers; especially orchids. These
orchids were inspired by those on exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show. I took so many
wonderful reference photos that I hope to paint someday. Contact: cfuller432@aol.com
�Kathleen Ryan Gardiner (Arnold, MD)
In my paintings of the horses of NC and MD I’ve attempted to capture the freedom and wildness
of both the horse and the landscape. In “Morning Triune,” the wind moves the manes and tails
and whips up the ocean’s surface while the trio faces east into the light of a new day. My work
begins with a pencil drawing and then to the first of numerous washes working to slowly build
up rich color, leaving some white sparkle, and eventually brushing in the dramatic earthy darks.
Contact: kathyrgardiner@gmail.com
Mary Ellen Geissenhainer (Pasadena, MD)
My current work focuses on contemporary still life drawings. I collect and pose objects to create
“connections.” Many of my pieces are biographical…featuring collections of objects that seek to
create a “portrait” of a person. Strong color and lighting help to contribute to a photorealistic
effect. Contact: www.maryellengeissenhainer.com
Joseph H. Gruver (Arnold, MD)
I have been photographing the Chesapeake Bay area since 1970. I first picked up a camera in
1964 while at MICA and have not put it down since. Through my sordid career (photojournalist,
police crime lab supervisor, police detective sergeant and owner of Crabtown Photography), I
always had a camera with me. I always try to see and photograph things that other people miss or
don't see. Contact: crabtownphoto@msn.com
David Matthew Haas (Annapolis, MD)
Storms Come and Storms Go - The storm dramatically comes in on the left and goes out on the
right, an event that occurs over time but here we see it all at once, it is an event of the mind. It is
about “time,” the passage of time and what it means internally. Simultaneously it is also a
metaphor for life. Contact: davidhaas1@verizon.net
John T. Hanou (Severna Park, MD)
A Starry Night is part of my “Broken Dreams” series of photographs of old car plated-glass
windows that have endured the elements of weather over the years. I try to capture the world as
we know it, and offer it in a manner that we have not thought of. I strive to create photos that
sometimes transcend reality. Contact: hanouphotography.com
Neil Harpe (Annapolis, MD)
I studied painting at the Corcoran School of Art during the sixties when the “Washington Color
School” was at its peak; so colorful geometric abstraction is nothing new to me. However, since
my graduation from the Corcoran in 1969, my work has been primarily representational. My
MFA thesis consisted of nine surrealist color lithographs entitled “Juxtaposition of Realities”
which included subjects like butterflies and dragonflies portrayed in anomalous settings. For my
watercolor “Juxtaposition,” I revisited the concept, intermingling a realistically rendered spider
with a “color school” abstract. Contact: neil@stellaguitars.com
Janice Hendra (Severna Park, MD)
Creating an image that expresses my reality or displays a feeling that comes from within is
always what motivates me to paint. Sometimes the feeling is sensitive and deeply personal and
sometimes it's just lighthearted and humorous. Contact: janhend@hotmail.com
�Joan Essex Johnson (Annapolis, MD)
I find inspiration for my paintings from light, its movement across form, and the details that are
revealed. “Reflected Morning” captures the golden light and intense reflections of a calm
summer morning on Whitehall Creek. As I live on the Chesapeake Bay, I want to portray its
unique emotion and beauty. Contact: joanjohnsonstudio.com
Judy Jordan (Annapolis, MD)
My husband saved “Adam,” a partial mannequin, from annihilation by performing a daring act of
dumpster-diving. “Adam” was in terrible condition and sat forlornly in my studio for a couple
years. After much repair, plastic surgery of sorts, hair design and a clay shirt, he is ready for
reconsideration. Contact: judyjordanart.com
Warren Kahle (Annapolis, MD)
This image captures a detail seen in Acadia National Park in Maine while on a week-long
photographic outing last October. It only required a glimpse to know that an opportunity was in
my view, but it required some thought to produce a composition that brought together the
angular rock structure and the small purple wildflowers that somehow had established roots
there. Much of travel and landscape photography is sparked by an emotional reaction to our
surroundings; we just have to produce a composition that makes visual sense and provides us a
degree of personal satisfaction. This contrasts with, say, commercial, architectural, or portrait
photography, which may require considerable planning and organizing of details.

I was lucky enough to discover a whole flock of black-headed vultures gathering near some
abandoned houses. Made for a perfect art adventure with photographs and encaustic wax and
pastel and wax crayon enhancements. Contact: kelswede22@verizon.net
Deborah Kommalan (Pasadena, MD)
Maryland artist Deborah Kommalan works in oils in a realist style in which her primary focus is
capturing the essence of an object. She wants viewers to take a closer look at everyday things
and to be curious about the subjects she chooses, so she is attracted to subjects that will cast
interesting shadows. Working in a strong tenebrist style, she also enjoys manipulating the
shadows to create implied movement in her not-so-still lifes.

�Eddie Lavin (Arnold, MD)
One light. One life. One love. One meaningful interpretation of a creative intelligence that shares
itself through the creative manifestations of art that we share with each other; so that through art,
as a civilization, we may maintain a record of our hopes and dreams forging a path through the
growth pains of evolution, fighting to share the light despite the frictions inherent to our rather
fragile insight and the perils of our present human condition. Contact: Eddie@Gen3sis.com
Mark Lindley (Annapolis, MD)
For me art lives outside of fear, beyond boundaries and borders and social constraints. In making
this two-color lithograph, I explored my past and future as an art maker. Pilgrims move through
the hours of light and darkness to that interior castle where secrets vanish and vision rules.
Simple color and bold marks support my move to continuing creation.
Contact: lindley.mark@gmail.com
Sharon E. Littig (Annapolis, MD)
Trying to capture the quality of nature's light in a painting is not new. In the tradition of great
artists from Monet to Henry Hensche I'm trying to capture that quality using color, as taught to
me by my husband, John Ebersberger—an artist himself, who was a student of Hensche's. The
outdoor still life is a great subject for exploring this idea. Contact: slittig@comcast.net
Barbara Madden-Swain (Annapolis, MD)
My work and I are constantly changing in a spirit of freedom to experiment, to change direction,

Robert Madden (Annapolis, MD)
As digital technology has become ubiquitous, increasingly our society uses images to
communicate, and in so doing we become more sophisticated in discerning the visual
relationships of those things that surround us. Using a limited palette along with a dramatic sense
of scale, my photographs focus on these visual paradoxes. Those who have influenced my work
range from John Constable to Robert Frank. Contact: RobertWMaddenPhotography.com
Abigail Faye McBride (Chesapeake City, MD)
I paint with longing. A longing to be a part of something greater than myself; to participate in the
beauty of the natural world and to understand it more deeply. Every painting decision is made
with intent to either learn or lead. It is work. It brings me joy to work and share what I’ve made.
Contact: abigail@mcbridegallery.com
Nancy McCarra (Crownsville, MD)
Painting is a study of relationships; one color to another, warm and cool, light and shade.
Painting is also an expression of what inspires me, whether it's a splash of sunlight striking a few
branches of a tree, a dusty antique bottle casting a luminous shadow across a table top, or a face.
Being an artist is a joyful journey, one which I pursue with passion, gratitude and dedication.

�Kass McGowan (Millersville, MD)
Encyclopedia Series
As a found object artist I work from an intuitive place, using treasures found on roadsides,
salvage architectural pieces, and other detritus.
Inspiration for me often comes from the object itself as well as from a conceptual place. Using a
variety of mediums, the object’s existence is transformed.
Encyclopedia pages became my focus when I realized I couldn’t part with my mother’s
treasured, and very well used books. What better way to put her treasurers to use then elevate
them, still calling them what they are, but giving them new life.

Anne McLaughlin (Annapolis, MD)
Anne is a restless printmaker having dabbled in intaglio, reduction woodcuts, Sculpy clay prints,
Eco printing, and a quick stint with lithography, arriving at clay monoprints. The mystery of the
final image while carving away as well as adding clay slips to build a print, and exploring the
mixology of colors is irresistible. Clearly experimenting in printmaking is her present and future
vision. Contact: anneartist13@comcast.net

Emily Carter Mitchell (Pasadena, MD)
It was a foggy morning on the Chesapeake Bay and off in the distance I spotted some tall masts.
The horizon was mysteriously enveloped in the fog as we approached. Tall, majestic and quietly
moored “The Eagle” floated silently on the still waters. Photography allows me to preserve these
fleeting moments to always remember and reflect upon.

Chris Mona (Arnold, MD)
I am deeply and equally in love with American pop culture and the natural world. I also love the
collisions of the two, and how they reverberate all around us. The layered images that I unleash
are at once humorous, quotidian, oddly beautiful, and pleasingly discomforting. I work
consistently in painting, printmaking, drawing, and digital media. Contact: cpmona@aacc.edu

�Kathryn O’Grady (Tracys Landing, MD)
I have been painting the many new saplings that have been planted by roadsides throughout
Anne Arundel County over the last couple of years. I love their funny, fragile lines, and the
absurd contrast with the established woods and fields. Beech Saplings by the Big Pond is about
my realization that the new, native trees that spring up in the wild have much of that same look
of being alien. Contact: squalodon@comcast.net
Jean Ulmer Opilla (Annapolis, MD)
I usually create fabric sculptures, but recently returned to print making after many years away
from it. I am drawn to the graphic quality of screen printing, but because of my 3-dimensional
orientation I have been incorporating relief into my prints.
The dragonfly symbolizes change in almost every part of the world. It can be a change in
perspective or self-realization. So to me it represents life’s ever-constant process of
change. Contact: jeanulmeropilla.com
Betty Pethel (Annapolis, MD)
These ladies, some with children, dressed in all their Sunday finery, seem to have no particular
place to go, but they're coming nevertheless, holding their umbrellas up high, meeting and
greeting, as one can see during "An Afternoon Promenade." The painting reflects back to an
earlier time but eternal is the bond and pleasure of friendship among Women.
Contact: betty.pethel@gmail.com
Emil Thomas Petruncio (Arnold, MD)
I enjoy the interplay of light and shadows, and I especially like the brilliance of morning light
and the long, sharp shadows it casts. To produce "First Light," I brought the outside in, merging
a digitally manipulated photo of a sunlit forest (reduced to basic geometrical patterns) with a
photo of morning shadows on the wall and ceiling of my living room. I hope this work reminds
or motivates you to enjoy the simple blessings of bright mornings.

Rebecca Wallace Pugh (Annapolis, MD)
From concept to completion, this commission was a joy.
I designed the painting to hang in a specific location in the family’s home. Using the client’s
vertical photographs of the figures, I returned to the setting to create the composition—adjusting
the perspective, color and morning atmosphere. Contact: rebeccawpugh@mac.com
Elaine Weiner-Reed (Severn, MD)
The Yellow Chair - My art focuses on relationships as people interact with each other, their own
space, and the world around them. Life stops for no one—regardless of how we sometimes wish
it would at least slow down so we could pause ... just for a minute. In this painting, the yellow
chair solidifies as a beacon, a respite inviting us to sit a spell and enjoy the ride.

Phyllis Saroff (Annapolis, MD)
Although I am not religious, the inspiration for this painting is from a poem I love by the Jesuit
Priest Gerard Manley Hopkins. As an illustrator, my work usually accompanies written words.
His words were my starting point.
As Kingfishers Catch Fire
BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.
I say móre: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: thát keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Chríst — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.

�Rick Schimpf (Pasadena, MD)
This painting is my impression of the view one would have of Annapolis as you looked toward
Church Circle from West Street during the blizzard of 2016. The record-breaking snowfall
brought Annapolis to a standstill. The timing of this storm interrupted many winter events
including the 2016 Legislative Session. The annual legislative sessions bring legislators, staff,
and community leaders from all across Maryland to Annapolis for participation and weekly
lodging during the session. Typically, the view as seen in this painting would be of parked cars
lining both sides of West Street with pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks as they traveled to and
from businesses, restaurants, art galleries, pubs, government offices, and courthouses.
Automobiles typically would be lined up bumper to bumper as they traveled West Street to and
from Church Circle. However, the record amount of snow essentially stopped vehicle traffic and
closed businesses of all kinds. Maybe those that were in Annapolis during the snow could enjoy
the unusual quiet time and imagine Annapolis from times past.

truly living. Contact: jensterlingart@gmail.com
�Glenn Strachan (Pasadena, MD)
I have been taking pictures since receiving a Polaroid camera from my father at the age of eight
along with boxes of film from 47th Street Photo. I have been fortunate enough to be able to
travel extensively throughout the world (116 countries) and have combined my love for travel
with my passion for photography. I enjoy capturing the ephemeral, images which only exist for
moments in time, like this image which lasted about 10 seconds before the woman answered her
phone. All my photographs are taken using an Apple iPhone using the Moment App which
produces huge high-resolution files for great image quality. Contact: glenn.strachan@jhpiego.org
Kathy Strouss (Annapolis, MD)
Art for me is photography, watercolors, pastels and mixed media. Inspiration for my art is from

to spend time here wisely doing things you love to do. Contact: ks21409@gmail.com

Gil is a metal sculptor who creates primarily non-representational art in mild steel, stainless steel,
aluminum, iron, bronze, and occasionally found objects. He is strongly attracted to geometric

As I struggle balancing the graphic quality with an impressionist view of my subject, primarily

On the walkway adjacent to Mellon Hall a quadrant and bronze ring are mounted on a granite plinth. These instruments are described by Ptolemy in his
Almagest. The graduated quadrant measures the noonday altitude of the sun,
and the ring in the plane of the equator identifies the moment of equinox.
F- NEW PROGRAM SEAL
The bronze-cast New Program seal located at the foot of the quad was made by
88-year-old John Cook, a former St. John's laboratory technician. The motto on
the seal is "Facio liberos ex liberis libris libraque," which means, "I make free
adults from children by means of books and a balance."

HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE
AT ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE
�HISfORICALAND ARCHITECTURAL NOTES
AN HISTORIC VIEW OF THE CAMPUS
S
t. John's College traces its
origins to King William's
School, founded in 1696 in
Annapolis. The present site of
the college was proposed as
early as 1761 by, among others,
Charles Carroll, the Barrister,
whose house now stands on
campus. When St. John's was
chartered in 1784 to perpetuate a succession of able and honest men, it
was with a view also to its being the western branch of the University of
Maryland, with Washington College on the Eastern Shore as the eastern
branch. Four of the college founders were signers of the Declaration of
Independence: Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Governor William Paca,
Thomas Stone, and Samuel Chase. Chase and Stone were members of
the first Board of Visitors and Governors. The richest man in the country at the time, Carroll was not a member of the original board but did
join it in 1786. He contributed the largest sum to the founding of the
college - 200 pounds. To assure that St. John's would be for the benefit
of youth of every religious denomination, the charter was written by
three clergymen of different faiths : William Smith, an Episcopalian and
St. John's first president pro tern; John Carroll, a Roman Catholic; and
Patrick Allison, a Presbyterian divine, representing other religious
sects. When St. John's began classes in 1789, the college absorbed the
property of King William's School and all the students attended the college. Among the first students were George Washington's step-grandson
and two nephews. Francis Scott Key was also an early student, graduating in 1796. During the Civil War, the northern forces used the campus
first as a parole center for the exchange of prisoners and then as a hospital. The college became a military school in 1884, resumed its liberal
arts program in 1923, andin 1937 adopted its New Program centered on
the reading and discussion of great books. In 1951 the college became
co-educational. St. John's opened a second campus in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, in 1964. The Annapolis campus is a National Historic
Landmark and lies within the Annapolis Historic District.
CHANCELLOR JOHNSON HOUSE
(CIRCA 1720)
A fine example of an early 18th century gambrel roofed dwelling, the Chancellor Johnson
House was moved to the campus in 1937
after being purchased by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, which needed
its location on Northwest Street to make
room for projected offices. The house is
named for John Johnson, an alumnus of the
class of 1820 who at one time owned the
property on which the house stood but lived
with his family in a larger brick house
fronting West Street. Johnson was the last
chancellor of the state of Maryland, a
position abolished in 1851.
CHARLES CARROLL,
THE BARRISTER HOUSE (1722-23)
The Carroll Barrister House was built by
Charles Carroll, the surgeon, and moved by
Historic Annapolis in 1955 from its location
on Main Street to the St. John' s campus.
Carroll's son, Charles Carroll, the Barrister,
born in the house in 1724, was the principal
writer for the Declaration of the Delegates of
Maryland adopted on July 6, 1776. A member
of the board of King William's School,
Carroll introduced a conciliatory bill in 1761
that repeated a recommendation that
Bladen's Folly, now McDowell Hall, be used
as the site of a new college. Portraits in the
reception room are those of a former mayor
of Annapolis, Thomas Jennings, and his wife.
The college offices of Admissions and
Advancement are now located in the house.
MCDOWELL HALL (1742)
Simon Duff, a Scotsman, came to Maryland
especially to construct this building as the
official mansion of Thomas Bladen, colonial
governor of Maryland. Begun in 1742, it was
abandoned as being too grandiose and
became known as Bladen's Folly. It was originally designed with wings, in the style of
James Gibbs work. Thomas Jefferson
admired the unfinished building, writing in
1766: "They have no public building worth
mentioning except the governor's house, the
hull of which after being finished, they have
suffered to go to ruin."
After being completed as the first (and only)
college building in 1789, it held classrooms
on the first and second floors, student sleeping quarters and faculty rooms on the third
floor, and the kitchen and dining room in the
basement. Here Francis Scott Key, who graduated as class valedictorian and later helped
organize the alumni association, attended
classes. In 1824 two dinners and a ball were
given in the Great Hall for General Lafayette.
The Great Hall also served as headquarters of
the Union Army Medical Corps from 1863 to
1866 . Almost destroyed by fire in 1909,
McDowell was rebuilt according to its original 1789 design . The building is named for
St. John's first president, John McDowell.
HUMPHREYS HALL ( 1837)
The first building added to St. John's was
Humphreys Hall, named for the Rev. Hector
Humphreys, president from 1831 to 1857. It
is an excellent example of castellated Gothic
Revival, notable for its octagonal towers at
the comers. Known initially as the boarding
house, Humphreys first was used as a dormitory and later as a science hall. In 1958 the
interior was remodeled as a dormitory. The
college bookshop in the basement displays
the original center support of the building, a
foundation wall of brick culminating in a row
of round-headed arches.
CHASE-STONE HOUSE (1857)
Built at the end of the classical revival period
and at the beginning of America's Victorian
era, the Chase-Stone House is considered to be
in the style of a Florentine palace. It was used
originally as a duplex residence for the president and vice-president of the college. Since
then it has served as a dormitory. In 1963 it was
completely renovated. The building is named
for Samuel Chase and Thomas Stone, members of the college's original Board of
Governors and two of the four Maryland signers of the Declaration oflndependence.
PACA-CARROLL HOUSE (1857)
Although the Paca-Carroll House was built
early in the Victorian era as another duplex
to serve two faculty families, the house is a
simple, well-proportioned building reminiscent of the Federal era. It was named for two
signers of the Declaration oflndependence:
William Paca, who was among those petitioning the General Assembly for the college
charter, and Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, a
member of St. John's first board. James Cain,
the American novelist, whose father taught
at St. John's, was born in Paca-Carroll in
1892. In this century it became a student
dormitory, which was enlarged in 1981 when
a contemporary wing was added and the original section was gutted and rebuilt.
PINKNEY HALL ( 1858)
Dedicated in 1858 as a dormitory, this building with Italianate overtones was named for
William Pinkney (1764-1822), the only pupil
of King William's School that historians
have been able to identify. Pinkney served as
minister to England and Russia and as
Attorney General under Madison. Like
Humphreys Hall, Pinkney' s roofline was
once fretted with turrets.
BARR-BUCHANAN CENTER
(1899)
This building, known as Woodward Hall, was
constructed to serve as the college library. In
19 68 it was extensively renovated; the rear of
the building was extended and a fourth level
added below ground. After the college
library collection became too large for
Woodward Hall and was moved to the
Greenfield Library, the building was remodeled and rededicated as the Barr Buchanan
Center in 1997. It is named for Stringfellow
Barr and Scott Buchanan, the founders of the
New Program established in 1937. The BarrBuchanan Center contains offices for the
Graduate Institute, classrooms, common
rooms, the King William Room, a computer
lab, and tutor offices.
RANDALL HALL ( 1903)
Randall Hall was named for the Randall family. Its neo-classical Edgar T. Higgins dining
room, with high Georgian details, is considered one of the handsomest rooms in
Annapolis . A 1930 addition houses a modern
kitchen and serving area as well as a small
private dining room. The upper floors of
Randall are used as a dormitory.
IGLEHART HALL-(1910)
The college gymnasium is named for Lt. E.
Berkeley Iglehart, an alumnus who had a distinguished military career and who helped
make the building a reality. Its suspended running track is considered a rarity for its day.
BENEFICIAL-HODSON
BOATHOUSE ( 1934)
Constructed in 1934 and renovated in 1989,
the building houses a large upstairs room
used for college functions and parties. Below
is a spacious boathouse where the college
boats used in the rowing, crew, and sailing
programs are kept.
GREENFIELD LIBRARY
(1934, 1996)
The building originally known as the
Maryland Hall of Records was constructed in
1934 on land deeded to the state by St. John's
for $10. Designed by Baltimore architect
Lawrence Hall Fowler, the Georgian Revival
style Hall of Records contained a core of
seven stories housing the state archives and
perimeter rooms that reflected different
periods with architectural details based on
Maryland history. The conversion to a library
for the college, begun in 1994 and completed
in 1996, involved adding an underground
annex topped by a landscaped plaza; gutting
the central core and replacing it with a threestory atrium lit from above by a large skylight; and restoring the perimeter rooms .
The renovated building was named the
Greenfield Library, in honor of the support
of Stewart Greenfield (St. John's class of
1951) and his wife Constance. It houses the
college library collection, which numbers
100,000 volumes.
CAMPBELL HALL ( 1954)
Designed in a modified Georgian style,
Campbell Hall was built as a dormitory for
women students, first admitted in 1951. It
was named for Levin Hicks Campbell, a
member of the class of 1793 whose descendant Milton Campbell contributed funds for
the construction.
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
AUDITORIUM AND MELLON
HALL (1958)
Designed by the California firm of Neutra
and Alexander, this building contains the
600-seat Francis Scott Key Auditorium,
Conversation Room, music library, music
and laboratory classrooms, and administrative offices (added in 1989). The auditorium
was named for St. John's most famous alumnus; the building was named for Paul Mellon,
a student at the college in 1940 and a generous benefactor. The building also houses an
observatory and the Theodore McKeldin
planetarium. President Eisenhower dedicated the complex in 1958.
HARRISON HEALTH CENTER
( 1972)
Constructed in the shape of a Greek cross, the
infirmary is designed to live quietly by the
Carroll Barrister House, its 18th century
neighbor. The building, named for John T.
Harrison, class of 1907, was funded for the
college by his widow.
ELIZABETH MYERS MITCHELL
ART GALLERY ( 1989)
The contemporary glass and limestone block
gallery enables the college to offer museum
quality traveling exhibits and special programs related to the arts.

Charcoal, red and white chalk on blue paper, 11” x 18”
Gift of DeCourcy E. McIntosh, Dahesh Museum of Art, 2003.36.
Although drawing was established as an important training practice in Italy, it was the
influence of Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts, the most important art school in the Western
world, that instilled in artists the benefits of observation and constant drawing as the
foundation for art making. This collection of 40 drawings from the Dahesh Museum of Art
explores this tradition through the works of Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Rosa Bonheur, LéonJoseph-Florentin Bonnat, Gustave Doré, Théodule-Augustin Ribot, Léopold Robert, and
other artists.

The Mitchell Gallery presents “House Proud: Nineteenth-Century Watercolor Interiors
from the Thaw Collection,” an exhibition that examines the evolution of the domestic
interior in 19th-century Europe. This exhibition was organized by the Cooper Hewitt,
Smithsonian Design Museum, and explores the origins of the modern home through Eugene
(St. John’s College, Class of 1947) and Clare Thaw’s generous gift to the museum of these
47 interior watercolors.
“House Proud: Nineteenth-Century Watercolor Interiors from the Thaw Collection”
showcases the Thaw’s collection of 19th-century watercolor drawings, which meticulously
detail the era’s interior furnishings and document the social, cultural, and aesthetic
development of European domestic life. The collection includes examples of English,
German, Russian, French, Italian, and Austrian domestic spaces.

literary works: Nikolai Gogol’s (1809-1852) Dead Souls, an 1842 classic novel, and Fables,
Aesop-like tales by French author Jean de La Fontaine (1621-1695). This selection of
etchings was originally owned by the Italian art historian and critic Lionello Venturi. It

Photography’s evolution as an art form has been influenced by countless individuals,
thematic styles, and chemical processes. Initially, photography was used largely to
document what surrounded or intrigued the public eye. As more individuals began using
cameras, the idea grew that photography could be a form of art in addition to a form of
documentation. This captured the attention of many artists, most notably Alfred Stieglitz
(American, 1864-1946), who formed the Photo Secession movement and helped establish
Pictorialism.
Pictorial Photography emerged from the shadows of a “point and shoot” craft into a style
where artists strived to create painterly, romantic images. These soft and atmospheric
images could be easily mistaken for a monochromatic painting, etching, or drawing. Several
modern photographers are represented in this exhibition, including Edward Steichen
(American, 1879-1973), Éugene Atget (French, 1857-1927), Berenice Abbott (American,
1898-1991), and Manuel Alvarez Bravo (Mexican, 1902-2002).
“Pure Photography: Pictorial and Modern Photographs from the Syracuse University Art
Collection” was organized by the Syracuse University Art Galleries.

Edward Willis Redfield (American, 1869-1965), Winter in the Valley, c. 1920s, oil on canvas,
36 x 50 inches Museum Purchase, Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania
This comprehensive exhibition features one of the Reading Public Museum's greatest
strengths—its collection of works by American Impressionists. The exhibition includes 50
oil paintings and nearly 20 works on paper dating from the 1880s through the 1940s.
Outstanding landscapes—ranging from snow covered hills to sun filled harbors—seascapes,
penetrating portraits, and remarkable still lifes, imbued with rich textures, reveal the
artists’ interest in capturing effects of light and atmosphere in their work.
The exhibition is arranged according to the artists’ colonies that played a critical role in the
development of American Impressionism, including those at Cos Cob and Old Lyme in
Connecticut; Cape Cod, Cape Ann, and Rockport, in Massachusetts; New Hope and
Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Taos, New Mexico; and California. In addition, American
expatriate artists such as Mary Cassatt and John Singer Sargent are examined.
�Other leading artists of the movement include William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam,
Ernest Lawson, Julian Alden Weir, John Twachtman, Chauncey Ryder, Frank W. Benson,
William Paxton, Abbott Thayer, Guy Wiggins, Charles Webster Hawthorne, Colin Campbell
Cooper, Daniel Garber, and Edward Redfield, among others. Read the exhibition brochure.

�Annapolis Collects: The Mitchell Gallery Celebrates 25 Years
August 23 – October 12, 2014
Art can be many things to different people. Items in an art collection can take many shapes
and forms from an 18th century oil painting or a piece of 21st century blown glass vase, to a
20th century piece of farm equipment or a 19th century etching. The Mitchell Gallery was
founded 25 years ago with the mission to bring art and related educational programs to the
St. John's College and surrounding communities. This exhibition celebrates the spirit of the
Mitchell Gallery’s achievements which include accreditation by the American Alliance of
Museums in spring 2012.
Guest curators Jim Cheevers (senior curator at the United States Naval Academy
Museum), Tom Dawson (Dawson Gallery), Joni Jones (director, Banneker-Douglass
Museum) and Nadja Maril (writer, editor, and author) have selected works from private
collections and historic houses in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County that span a wide
range of tastes, styles, and periods.
The Mitchell Gallery wishes to extend its sincere gratitude for the generosity of the Annapolis
Collects lenders and curators James W. Cheevers, Thomas R. Dawson, Joni Jones, and
Nadja Maril.

�Along the Eastern Road: Hiroshige's Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido
October 24 – December 14, 2014
This outstanding exhibition features 55 revolutionary woodblock prints by Utagawa
Hiroshige (Japanese, 1797-1858), recording the scenic views along the famous "Eastern
Road" that linked Edo (now Tokyo) with Kyoto, the ancient imperial capital of Japan. This
popular series, known as the Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road, was published in
1833-1834 and established Hiroshige's reputation as the foremost artist of the
topographical landscape.
Utagawa Hiroshige, Sixteenth Station: Yui, 1833-34, from Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road, wood-block
print, 1933.326.17/55
In 1832, Hiroshige journeyed along the historic Tokaido, visiting the fifty-three towns and
villages that dotted the road, which provided lodging, refreshments, and souvenirs for
travelers. The route was traveled frequently by merchants, religious pilgrims and tourists.
Hiroshige stayed at these overnight stations and recorded numerous views of the
surrounding landscape, towns and people.
Hiroshige was trained in the tradition of the ukiyo-e—"floating world"—wood-block print
making. As a genre, landscape developed late in the ukiyo-e period and was greatly
influenced by the prints of Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849).
�Along the Eastern Road: Hiroshige’s Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido is organized by the
Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania. This exhibition is generously supported by
the Helena Foundation.

�A Lineage of American Perceptual Painters
January 15 – March 1, 2015
This exhibition of American Perceptual Painters focuses on a lineage of American Realism
begun, in part, by Edwin Dickinson (1891-1978), a student and contemporary of Charles
Hawthorne (1872-1930), through the present day. Though representing various genres,
themes, and approaches, these artists share a commonality which involves painting from
direct observation. This exhibition celebrates a representational lineage that has
persevered through the antagonism of the Modern era and continues to enrich the
discussion of contemporary American art.
This exhibition is curated by Matt Klos, Associate Professor, Anne Arundel Community
College, with assistance from Lucinda Edinberg.

May 28 - June 15, 2014
�Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions
August 28 – October 16, 2013
“Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions” is the first major examination of the artist’s
work since his death in 1995. The exhibition includes 70 original works of art by the
influential artist, including paintings, prints and drawings and is curated by Domenic
Iacono, director of the Syracuse University Art Galleries.
Schrag’s career spanned more than 60 years, and he had strong ties to the New York City
art scene. After studying at the Art Students League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious
printmaking studio Atelier 17, working alongside artists Miró, Chagall, and Jackson
Pollock. Schrag was named director of the Atelier in 1950 and later began a teaching career
at Cooper Union, where he taught drawing and graphic arts from 1954 to 1968.
Schrag’s art conveys his ability to see the landscape as if for the first time—the surprise of
that special view, the recognition of his ability to feel wonder when looking at nature or
figures, and the reward associated with seeing the world through his eyes. As stated by
Schrag, “While I believe that the outward appearance of nature is but the shell of a deeper
and richer inside world that I wish to understand, I also know that the forms of art are in
their infinite relationships charged with profound meanings.”
Organized by the Syracuse University Art Collection.

�Reflections and Undercurrents: Ernest Roth and Printmaking in Venice,
1900-1940
October 25 – December 13, 2013
Ernest David Roth (1879-1964) was one of the most significant American etchers of the first
half of the twentieth century. His work ranged from important views of New York and Paris
to exotic images of Istanbul and Segovia. His most important achievements, however, are
his prints of Italy, in particular the approximately 45 views he did in Venice from 1905 to
1940. In these etchings, Roth employed a supple line and rich tone that captures the
essence of Venetian architecture in the clear light of the Venetian lagoon.
Roth’s prints influenced a generation of American printmakers, including John Taylor
Arms (1887-1953), Louis Rosenberg (1890-1983), and Herman Webster (1878-1970). This
exhibition brings together 35 of Roth’s most important Venetian views, including variant
printings of the plates, preparatory drawings, and the plates themselves, with prints by his
most important artistic contemporaries.
The prints in the exhibition are predominantly from one private collection, with selected
loans from other private collections and from the Mattatuck Museum of Art in Waterbury,
Connecticut.

�Annapolis Collects:
The Mitchell Gallery Celebrates 25 Years
August 23 – October 12, 2014
Art can be many things to different people. Items in an art collection can take many shapes
and forms from an 18th century oil painting or a piece of 21st century blown glass vase, to a
20th century piece of farm equipment or a 19th century etching. The Mitchell Gallery was
founded 25 years ago with the mission to bring art and related educational programs to the
St. John's College and surrounding communities. This exhibition celebrates the spirit of the
Mitchell Gallery’s achievements which include accreditation by the American Alliance of
Museums in spring 2012.
Guest curators Jim Cheevers (senior curator at the United States Naval Academy
Museum), Tom Dawson (Dawson Gallery), Joni Jones (director, Banneker-Douglass
Museum) and Nadja Maril (writer, editor, and author) have selected works from private
collections and historic houses in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County that span a wide
range of tastes, styles, and periods.
Clockwise from top left:
•
Ed Branson (b. 1957- ) Open River Vase, 1999, Blue Glass combined techniques of
blowing and ladling, private collection.
•
Herman Maril (1908-1986) Ebb Tide, 1967, oil on canvas, private collection.
•
Artist Unidentified, Statue of King on Throne Surrounded by
Servants, Nigeria, bronze, collection of the Banneker-Douglass Museum.
•
William Faris (1728-1804), Thomas Sparrow (ca. 1746-1784) and William McParlin
(1780-1850), Soup Ladles, ca. 1765-1810, silver, private collection
The Mitchell Gallery wishes to extend its sincere gratitude for the generosity of the Annapolis
Collects lenders and curators James W. Cheevers, Thomas R. Dawson, Joni Jones, and
Nadja Maril.

Until the late 19th century, women’s role in the art world was limited to the social graces of
drawing as part of marriage preparations. Through the open hand of a few art institutions
and funding through patrons, museums, private galleries, and the Graphic Arts Division of
the Federal Art Project of the Works Projects Administration, women had a more active
presence in the 20th century art scene. Most of the subjects depicted by these women reflect
their personal and professional lives and the hardships caused by wars, the Great
Depression, famines, and social mores that changed the lives of all Americans. This
exhibition of more than 50 works from the Syracuse University Art Collection includes
woodcuts, lithographs, engraving, silkscreens, etchings, and linoleum cuts by noted artists
Grace Albee, Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, June Wayne, Louise Nevelson, Isabel
Bishop, and many others.
"Pushing the Line: American Women Printmakers" is organized by the Mitchell Gallery
and curated by Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg. Read Edinberg's article on the
exhibit. Reprinted in full with permission from The Washington Print Club Quarterly, Fall

�Civil War Era Drawings from the Becker Collection
October 27 – December 12, 2012
The role of the artist-reporter of the mid-19th century was to create a visual report that
reflected the drama and action of an event through personal observation. This exhibition of
123 drawings selected from the Becker Archive, most of which have never been published,
document the heroic battles of the Civil War, construction of the railroad, Indian wars, the
Chicago fire, and other important events in the development of American identity and
culture. Joseph Becker and other artist-reporters were among the contributors to Frank
Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, an American magazine published 1852-1922, that served as
an important venue for illustrated literature and news.
"Civil War Era Drawings from the Becker Collection" is curated by Judith Bookbinder and
Sheila Gallagher, and the traveling exhibition is organized by Curatorial Assistance
Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles.

January 11 – February 17, 2013
David Hayes (b. 1931 - ), a student of David Smith, is known for his colorful sculptures in

by Alexander Calder through their friendship developed while he was in France as a
recipient of a Fulbright award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. This exhibition of
explorations in ceramics, stained glass, paintings, and sculptures reflects the creative
process from conception to production. Hayes’s works are included in many major

�Envisioning the World: The First Printed Maps 1472-1700
March 1 – April 14, 2013
The quest for commercial and military dominance of the 15th through 18th centuries
challenged the Copernican and theological treatises of cartography. The advances in science
and navigation, coupled with advances in reproduction through moveable type and the
engraving process, launched a new view of Earth and its controversial place as an orbiting
planet. This exhibition from the Wendt Collection presents works pivotal to the
development of maps with attention to the spatial and mathematical principles of Ptolemy,
Macrobius, Galileo, Kepler, Newton and Halley, and the artistic convergence of
printmakers and cartographers including, Holbein, Mercator, Ortelius, Visscher, and
Coronelli. These colorful maps depict the guiding shifts in historical, religious, and cultural
views of the world driven by the desire for accurate cartographic records.
This exhibition is organized and circulated by the Sonoma County Museum.
The maps are from the collection of Henry and Holly Wendt.

incredible range of subjects and ideas, and range from engaging with her heritage and the
struggles of the African-American community, to landscapes, still-life, and the human form.
Her emphasis on lines and patterns, bright, vivid colors, and strong compositions in her
work make this exhibition an absorbing study of technique and narrative by an eminent
American artist.

collaboration with the Loïs Mailou Jones Pierre-Noël Trust, and toured by International

�Gather Up the Fragments: The Andrews Shaker Collection
March 2 – April 19, 2012
Many people are familiar with Shaker-style furniture and the Shaker philosophy of “form
follows function,” but few are aware of the extent of their craftsmanship and the influence
that their beliefs had on the making and use of everyday objects. Faith and Edward Deming
Andrews spent nearly 40 years (1920s-1960s) collecting objects from Shaker communities;
in their collecting process and research made the Shaker way of life more accessible to
scholars, collectors, and the general public. This exhibition showcases furniture and art
traditionally associated with the Shakers, as well as the small objects, manuscripts, and
tools that formed the warp and weft of their daily lives. It is a wonderful opportunity to
learn about one of America’s best recognized but least understood communities.
“Gather Up the Fragments” is organized by Hancock Shaker Village, Pittsfield, MA, and
toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, D.C. Funded in part by the National
Endowment for the Arts. The exhibition is generously supported by the Helena Foundation.

�Ancient Bronzes of the Asian Grasslands from the Arthur M. Sackler
Foundation
January 16 – February 20, 2011
“Ancient Bronzes of the Asian Grasslands” brings to life the complex cultures that
flourished across an enormous expanse of territory from Northern China and Mongolia into
Eastern Europe, and reveals the cross-pollination of cultures throughout a vast region. This
exhibition focuses on the eastern or Asian steppes whose rolling grassy plains are
punctuated by snow-topped mountain ranges like the Tien Shan (Heavenly Mountains),
and deserts like the Gobi and Taklamakan. The exquisite and technically sophisticated
bronze artworks in the show cast new light on these remote Asian peoples whose history
and culture were transmitted solely through oral tradition and who are only now beginning
to be understood by scholars.
This exhibition is organized by the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, New York.

�The Floating World: Ukiyo-e Prints from the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art
March 3 – April 16, 2011
This exhibition of 50 Edo period (1603-1868) prints reveals an intimate history of Japanese
print collecting in the South in the early 20th century. With the help of internationally
known ukiyo-e print expert Frederick Gookin, Lauren Rogers Museum of Art founder
Wallace B. Rogers created a superb collection in the 1920’s. Gookin’s expertise and Rogers’s
funding yielded a collection rich in the works of Hiroshige, and expansive enough to include
Hokusai, Kuniyoshi, and other important printmakers. The prints encompass all of
the ukiyo-e subjects: beautiful women, actors and the theater, landscapes, narrative scenes,
and decorative themes.

April 6 – May 16, 2010
When James Earl saw Andy Warhol’s silk-screened Brillo Boxes at the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art in 1973, it sparked an enduring interest in art. Subsequently, he began to
make silkscreen prints, do etchings, and take drawing classes. In 1982, these activities led
to a BA degree in studio art from the University of Maryland.
For 30 years, Earl has carried a pocket sketchbook to record scenes from his life in pencil,
ink, and watercolor. Many of these drawings have been developed into prints that will be on
display, along with ten original sketchbooks, in the Lillian Vanous Nutt Room of the
Greenfield Library.
For library hours, please visit the library's webpage or call 410-626-2548.
Free and open to the public.

Gallery Endowment.

This exhibition is generously funded by the Helena Foundation.
This exhibition includes prints, drawings, paintings and sculptures as subjects of the Grand
Tours in 18th- and 19th-century Venice and Rome. The Grand Tours, primarily associated
with aristocratic British and American young men, served to polish the culmination of their
classical education. This exhibition focuses on the theme of their education abroad,
including the journey and sites seen, attitudes toward antiquity, souvenirs and works
brought home, all seen in the context of their background in classical literature.

Gallery Talk. Eric Denker and David Gariff, curators of the “The Grand Tour” exhibition,
will share their insights on this rich, vibrant collection of paintings on March 24 at 7 p.m.
In the 1700s aristocratic young men (and in later years women) primarily from England
and America embarked on a Grand Tour. They trekked to continental Europe to explore the
roots of western civilization and its cultural legacy, and be exposed to the refinement of
high society. The splendor of ancient Rome and grand spectacle of Venice drew countless
Grand Tourists and it is these journeys that the artists in “The Grand Tour” exhibition
celebrate.
Both Denker and Gariff are senior lecturers at the National Gallery of Art. Denker obtained
his doctorate in art history from the University of Virginia and is adjunct professor at
Scuola Internazionale di Grafica, Venice, Italy and at Georgetown University. He has
curated numerous shows and published widely, including No Vulgar Hotel: The Desire and
Pursuit of Venice by Judith Martin and Eric Denker. Gariff is adjunct professor of art
history at The Catholic University of America. David has lectured and written widely on
topics related to the Italian Renaissance and modern art and film. His book, The World’s
�Most Influential Painters and the Artists They Inspired, explores the theme of artistic
influence and inspiration in Western painting.

�Works by the Chesapeake Woodturners
November 10 – December 18, 2009
The Chesapeake Woodturners present lathe-turned works in foreign and domestic woods,
functional and decorative, small and large. Work at the lathe brings the endless challenge
of revealing the distinctive beauty of wood in what may have begun as a battered stormdamaged tree across the street or a gnarled root burl from a distant country.
Founded in 1992 to promote woodturning in the Annapolis region, the Chesapeake
Woodturners sponsor skill-building workshops, public demonstrations of their craft, and a
network for intechange and expansion of members' skills and ideas.
Funding and support for this exhibition is provided by the Lillian Vanous Nutt Mitchell
Gallery Endowment.
�The Camera’s Muse: Photographic Portraits from the Collection of Robert M.
Infarinato
November 1 - December 17, 2009
During the early 20th century, the artistic merit of photography was fiercely debated. This
collection, on loan from Robert Infarinato, includes photographs by masters such as Henri
Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Ruth Bernhard, and Edward Steichen. The collection’s
emphasis is on portraits of subjects in all kinds of settings, from formal “seated” portraits to
candid “situational” shots. The portraits encourage a greater understanding of what is
revealed through the photographer’s lens, and a thoughtful examination of prints that were
instrumental in pioneering this new medium.

�The Elegant Salon: European Academic Paintings from the Syracuse
University Art Collection
August 27 - October 10, 2008
In the late 19th century, avant-garde artists challenged theories about fine art that were
fundamental to the teachings of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and the Academy of
Unified Fine Arts in Vienna. Though the schools' teachings and theories fell out of favor,
their art was enthusiastically acquired by American museums and collectors. This
exhibition from the Syracuse University Art Collection includes the romantic works of
William Adolphe Bouguereau and Jean-Leon Gérôme, Conrad Kiesel, an artist often linked
with the Pre-Raphaelites, and the luminous palette of Rudolph Ernst and other European
artists whose works reflect the best of these ideals.

�The Inventions of Leonardo da Vinci
October 30 - December 15
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made contributions of the highest magnitude to the
fundamental principles of mechanics. His insatiable curiosity about natural phenomenon
guided his explorations and inspired him to create the inventions that are actualized in this
exhibition of 16 models from The Exhibition Alliance. These models, built in the 1950s by
IBM Corporation technicians, bring Leonardo's visionary concepts of physics, mechanics,
and art to life. They offer insight onto the principles of inertia and the concepts Leonardo
used for his flying machines, spring-driven car, printing press, military tank, and other
mechanical devices and measuring tools that are in common use today, more than 500
years after he imagined them.

Mitchell Gallery Exhibition Schedule 2006-2007
Living with Art: Early American Modernism from the Baker/Pisano
Collection of the Heckscher Museum of Art
August 25 – October 18, 2006
This exhibition of fifty paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and decorative arts from the
collection of Ronald G. Pisano and D. Frederick Baker was donated to the Heckscher
Museum of Art in Huntington, New York in memory of Mr. Pisano. He began the collection
in the early 1970’s before interest in early American Modernism was widespread. In his
introductory essay for the fully illustrated catalogue that accompanies the exhibition, Baker
states, “The Collection also came to celebrate the interconnectedness of art and artists that
made up America’s early Modern art community. The period is one of the richest in terms
of fascinating personalities, turf-fighting, new and unexplored art directions, and a kind of
unbridled inventiveness.” The Baker/Pisano Collection charts the course of many of the
early proponents of Modernism, with paintings by such visionary artists as Arthur Dove,
John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Max Weber.
Joan Miró: Illustrated Books
October 28 - December 15, 2006
Perhaps more so than any other modern artist, Catalan-born painter Joan Miró (1893-1983)
embraced the power and beauty of the illustrated book. The form became a vehicle of
expression for him; Miró completed over 250 titles of illustrated books in the course of his
lifetime. This exhibit includes a selection from twelve publications of individual book pages
accompanied by translations of passages from the corresponding texts. Miró’s love of
literature is expressed through bold colors and fantastic shapes that are both simple and
confounding, playing with the relationship of words and images. Some of his abstract
illustrations are for poems from authors such as William Butler Yeats, Tristan Tzara, and
others, evoking the spirit and rhythm of the poetry while offering his own interpretation of
the text.
�Graphics by 20th Century Masters from the Cochran Collection
January 18 – February 24, 2007
More than 60 works by such recognized artists as Frankenthaler, Diebenkorn, Hockney,
Oldenburg, Rauschenberg, Rosenquist, Stella, Johns and many others, are included in this
exhibition from the Cochran Collection, one of the most significant private collections of
20th-century European and American graphics in the United States. The collection
presents a cross section of contemporary artists and printmaking techniques. Here among
works by Picasso and Chagall is an etching by sculptor Henry Moore, a mixed-media by
sculptor Louise Nevelson, and a lithograph by the mobile artist Alexander Calder. Wes and
Missy Cochran are dedicated art collectors and their exhibit documents the 20th-century
American social and cultural scene.
Richard Jolley: Sculptor of Glass from 1985 to the Present
March 8 – April 15, 2007
Best known for his figurative, yet abstract glass sculpture, Richard Jolley has explored the
use of different media, including bronze and works on paper, to express the portrait
narrative which remains an intrinsic aspect of his work. Noted art historian and critic,
Sam Hunter, compares Jolley’s work to Matisse and Rauschenberg in terms of integrity and
sheer resourcefulness. This exhibition is Jolley’s first retrospective and it surveys his
career in depth with 54 works from his private collection, including wall reliefs, busts, and
his Totem Series.

Mitchell Gallery Exhibition Schedule 2005-2006
Magic, Myths, and Minerals: Chinese Jades from the Arthur M. Sackler
Gallery
August 27 – October 14, 2005
Animals – both real and mythological – play a central role in Chinese folklore and art. For
centuries, Chinese people have attributed symbolic significance to birds, horses, bears,
dragons, and many other creatures. Well aware of the power of these symbols, artists have
long used them to enliven their works. The Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery has a
large collection of centuries-old animal figurines, and 35 of the Sackler’s finest animal
carvings will be featured in this exhibition. The tiny figurines were created by skilled
artisans who painstakingly carved complex figures from colorful jade.
Mitchell Gallery Advisory Board Reflections Exhibition, Silent Auction &
Celebration
October 20 – 22, 2005
Reflections is a retrospective of the Mitchell Gallery’s 16 years at St. John’s College. Local
artists will display works evoking one of the past exhibitions, which have numbered close to
100 in all and have featured artists as varied as Rembrandt, Picasso, and Warhol. Sale of
the works will benefit the gallery’s exhibitions and education program.
Ben-Zion: In the Grip of the Five Senses
October 30 – December 15, 2005
Ben-Zion, a founding member of “The Ten,” a group of expressionist painters who stood
against the conservative academic painting in pre-war New York, celebrated his European
Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter and printmaker. Influenced by
Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben Zion
wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection
between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” This exhibition of Ben-Zion’s
metal and wood sculptures and accompanying paintings and graphic works will include
personal artifacts and antiquities that provided inspiration for his art and writings.
John Diebboll: The Art of the Piano “Solos at St. John’s College”
January 6 – February 4, 2006
NYC artist/architect John Diebboll has lyrically created a collection of extraordinary 21st
century art-case piano drawings. This exhibition will feature 35 of Mr. Diebboll’s colored
pencil drawings that find inspiration from such diverse subjects as George Gershwin,
Thelonious Monk, an Australian Shepherd dog, the operas "Porgy & Bess" and "Tristan and
Isolde." There will also be solo portraits of Cecelia Wyatt and Marylou Williams.
�The Art of Music from the Baltimore Museum of Art
February 15 – April 9, 2006
In different cultures and times, artists have incorporated music in their art, resulting in
powerful expressions that blend the senses of sight and sound. This unity of the arts occurs
for several reasons, from conveying the artists’ beliefs about society and culture to
visualizing the look of sound in a two-dimensional format. The exhibition will showcase
over 40 works from the Baltimore Museum of Art’s collection, exploring the myriad ways
music and art unite and revealing much about the culture, place, and time of the artist’s
work.
St. John’s College Community Art Exhibition
April 22 - May 14, 2006
This annual exhibition affords members of the St. John’s College community an opportunity
to explore the visual arts. The result, a diverse collection of ceramics, paintings, drawings,
prints, sculpture, textiles, and photographs, elegantly represents the artistic talent of the
community.

June 1 – 21, 2006
The Mitchell Gallery is pleased to present this all-county, juried, multi-media exhibition of

Mitchell Gallery Exhibition Schedule 2004-2005
Where the Water Meets the Land: Selected Works from the Phelan Collection
August 24 – September 10, 2004
America has always had a love affair with the sea, a fact well-understood by Washingtonarea art collector Jay Phelan. Phelan began to collect nautical paintings in the 1960s; his
collection ranges from ship portraits of the early 19th century to Connecticut Impressionist
works to representations of Depression-era industrial waterfronts.
The Mitchell Gallery will display 25 of the most notable pieces from this collection,
spanning the last 200 years of maritime art.
Louise Nevelson: Selections from the Farnsworth Art Museum
September 14 – October 30, 2004
Russian-born American artist Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) is considered a pioneer of 20th
century art in both painting and sculpture. After many years of struggle she was recognized
in her lifetime as the “grand dame of contemporary sculpture.”
This exhibition presents 37 paintings, prints, sketches, sculptures, and collages and a
selection of pendants made by Nevelson from the Farnsworth Art Museum’s collection. It
traces the full span of the artist’s career, from her student days at the Art Students League
to her emergence as an artist of national stature.
The Book of Kings: Art, War, and the Morgan Library’s Medieval Picture
Bible
November 6 – December 19, 2004
In the mid-13th century King Louis IX of France, later canonized as Saint Louis,
commissioned a picture book of astonishing beauty, depicting stories from the Old
Testament. This manuscript came to be known as the “Crusader Bible,” a picture book of
remarkable power and beauty that is now in the collection of the Pierpont Morgan Library
in New York. Because this manuscript is so fragile, it was only on display at the Walters
Art Museum, the curating and originating museum for this extraordinary exhibition.
However, a superb facsimile was printed in Germany and pages from this manuscript will
be on display in this scholarly presentation.
Twenty objects from the Walters Museum’s Medieval and Islamic collection, including
armor, enamels, ceramics, textiles, and manuscripts from England, France, Italy, Germany,
and Iran, that correspond with those depicted in the Bible are included in this exhibit.
�A Community of Artists: The Collection of the Provincetown Art Association
and Museum
January 16 – February 26, 2005
Provincetown, Massachusetts, the isolated fishing village perched 40 miles out to sea, was
coined the “Biggest Art Colony in the World” by the Boston Globe in 1918. Almost 87 years
later, Provincetown is still home to a wealth of artists, art lovers, and those who bask in the
clear light and natural landscape.
This exhibition from the Provincetown Art Association and Museum includes 80 works by
Avery, Hawthorne, Hofmann, Kline, Knaths, Maril, Motherwell, Rothschild, Tworkov, and
others. The Collection of the Provincetown Art Association and Museum began in 1915 and
continues today to represent the best of the area’s artists, and a record of the art
movements of the last century.
Heroes, Villains, and Mermaids: The Fantastical World of Ronald Markman
March 5 – April 22, 2005
Inspired by popular culture as a child in the Bronx, Ron Markman drew to the sounds of
Jack Benny, Fred Allen, and Charlie McCarthy on the radio. As a young boy he was
influenced by the power of color and costume and design of Broadway musicals, comic books
heroes such as Smokey Stover, Lil Abner and Krazy Kat, and in his teens he trained as a
cartoonist. Pursuing his BFA/MFA at Yale and studying under Josef Albers, Markman’s
early painting influences included Klee, Chagall, Miro, Calder, and eventually Claes
Oldenburg.
While in Italy in 1962 on a Fulbright scholarship, Markman conceived of the world of
Mukfa, a fantasy realm of unbridled absurdity that became the wellspring for his art over
the next four decades. Creating a country of his very own, complete with its own heroes,
villains and mermaids, newspapers, nightclubs, airline, and university (Yes U!), offered
Markman the freedom to be seriously silly. “In Mukfa, I was free to explore the limits of
the nonsensical, the absurd and the subversive. Lewis Carroll found his creativity in
Wonderland; in 1962, I found my way home to Mukfa.” Represented by the Terry
Dintenfass Gallery and in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hirshhorn Collection, this exhibit of
Markman’s work promises to thoughtfully engage the viewer.
St. John’s College Community Art Exhibition
May 1 – 15, 2005
This annual exhibition affords members of the St. John’s College community an opportunity
to explore the visual arts. The result, a diverse collection of ceramics, paintings, drawings,
prints, sculpture, textiles, and photographs, elegantly represents the artistic talent of the
community.
