By Ed & Karen Ogul In 1947, with their permission, Walter Anderson left his wife and children and embarked on a private and solitary life, returning home infrequently. The artist spent much of his time on the uninhabited Horn Island, 16 miles off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Anderson would reach the island by rowing out in a one-person rowboat—bringing only the bare necessities and his art supplies. For nearly 40 years, Ed The works in this exhibition are and Karen Ogul have from Anderson’s time on Horn Island, shared a love and passion where, through his unique vision, he for prints, paintings, art depicted the flora and fauna with his ink books, and decorative and watercolors.

In the 19th century, Paris was the art Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse French, 1824–1887 capital of the world and home of the French Tormented Innocence, ca. 1871 Painted terra-cotta Academy, which oversaw the premier 25 x 8.5 x 7 inches art school—the École des Beaux-Arts The Dahesh Museum Collection (School of Fine Arts). The Academy also ran the official exhibitions (Salons) where opening in may artists showed their works. Following the Academy’s path would give hopeful artists (from all over Europe and America) the right of entry to a world of fame, honors, awards, public and private commissions, and an opportunity to become a member of an elite circle that exerted all-powerful influence over the fine arts in France. The Academy stood for well-established traditions, such as an emphasis on draftsmanship and the importance of historical subject matter, which was challenged in the late 19th century by artists such as the Impressionists. Beauty, Passion, and Bliss spans the 19th century with major examples of works dealing with classical mythology, biblical subjects, landscape and animals, genre (everyday subjects), and . The exhibition features 50 works by artists such as Jean-Léon Gérôme, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Frederic, Lord Leighton, and Jean-Jacques Pradier. Drawn from the collection of the Dahesh Museum of Art, the exhibition examines Organized by the Dahesh the Academy and the making of art in the Museum of Art and the Flint Institute of Arts 19th-century.

Alexandre Cabanel Members Preview French, 1823–1889 and Adolphe Jourdan The Academic Tradition & French, 1825–1889 The Birth of Venus, ca. 1864 The Dahesh Collection Oil on canvas 33.5 x 53.5 inches Saturday 5.16.15 6p–7p The Dahesh Museum Collection The influence of the academic tradition on European art cannot be overstated. The capital of western art was France; in France, Paris reigned; and it was in Paris in the 19th century that painting became the dominant form of artistic expression. The French academy could dictate who could paint, how it should be painted, and even what should be painted. Through the wealth of examples in the Dahesh Museum of Art collection, this lecture will examine the role of the academic tradition and of the French Academy in particular. Professor Farrell believes that there is a profound difference between looking and seeing. He has been a professor of art history and founder of the Honors Art History Program at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, since 1968. He has also taught for Wayne State University, Central Michigan University and the College for Creative Studies, and in the past has served as adjunct Michael Farrell education curator at the Detroit Institute of Arts and Guest Lecturer the Detroit Historical Museum. He has lectured at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Philbrook Museum, Tulsa; the Birmingham and Montgomery Museums of Art both in Alabama and the Staten Island Institute of Arts, among others. 7 EXHIBITIONS Edvard Munch 7.5.15 – 9.6.15 Graphics Gallery

Most famously known for his painting The Scream, Edvard Munch’s graphic work is an integral part of his oeuvre. Comprising over 25 works on paper, this exhibition includes lithographs, woodblocks, etchings, drawings, drypoint, and intaglio by the Norwegian artist. Munch’s graphic activities spanned 50 years from his first prints in 1894 to his death in 1944. While most of the works in the exhibition are from his early years, a few later works are represented. According to Munch, he produced around 30,000 graphic works in his lifetime. Munch was associated with the international development of Symbolism in the 1890s and later regarded as a pioneer in the Expressionist movement. Like some of his contemporaries’ works, his art was very much influenced by his mood and personal life. fleckenstein video gallery

International Museum Day The Flint Institute of Arts will join a worldwide community of museums on May 18 to celebrate ICOM’s International Museums Day. This year’s theme will be “Museums for a sustainable society.” The theme recognizes the role of museums in raising public awareness about the need for a society that is less wasteful, more cooperative, and uses resources in a way that respects living systems. By bringing museums to the forefront of this model of a sustainable society, the International Museum Day theme aims to foster awareness among the whole society about the current consequences of human action in our planet and the absolute necessity of changing its economic and social model. To mark the occasion, the FIA will offer free admission to the galleries and special exhibitions. The FIA museum shop will offer members a 20% discount and non- members a 10% discount.
