At the same time, we explore the works of artists who did not retain the renown they enjoyed during their lifetimes and who fell into obscurity. But obscurity is not necessarily forever, and as cycles of taste have changed, these once-forgotten artists and their largely unknown works have re-surfaced to startle us today.

  • Celebrating Andrew Wyeth the American Artist’S Centennial Is Being Honored with Two Major Retrospectives of His Work
    along the way Celebrating Andrew Wyeth The American artist’s centennial is being honored with two major retrospectives of his work. Andrew Wyeth may have been a favorite of U.S. presidents. In 1963, he became the first painter to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom when John F. Kennedy bestowed the honor. Richard Nixon once sponsored a White House exhibition of works by the Pennsylvania- and Maine- based artist, and both Bushes honored Wyeth, with the Congressional Gold Medal in 1990 and the National Medal of the Arts in 2007. At the other end of the spectrum, comic- strip character Snoopy owned a Wyeth that he displayed prominently in his doghouse. In between, the artist was alternately lauded and dismissed by critics but remained a perennial commercial favorite. This year marks the centennial of Wyeth’s birth, and two major museum retrospectives have been assembled NORTH CAROLINA MUSEUM OF ART, RALEIGH ART, OF MUSEUM CAROLINA NORTH ©ANDREW WYETH/ARTISTS RIGHTS SOCIETY (ARS), RIGHTS WYETH/ARTISTS ©ANDREW for the occasion.

    Sunriver Books & Music March 2018 Newsletter Sunriverbooks.com 541-593-2525 Saturday March 31st at 5:00 PM Jennifer Haupt will give a slide show presentation on her moving novel, In The Shadow of 10,000 Hills. Jennifer Haupt spent 25 years as a journalist writing for such pres- tigious publications as O’ Oprah’s magazine, The Seattle Times and Psychology Today. In 2006 she traveled to Rwanda to interview survivors of the genocide. From her experiences she was inspired to write this uplifting novel that intersects the story of a young American woman, Rachel, and the people she meets in Rwanda who will ultimately show her the meaning of grace and home. Lillian Carlson met Henry Shepard at a speech by Martin Luther King Jr., the attraction was instant. Henry was at the event as a newspaper photographer, trying to get his career going, passionate about photog- raphy. Later, the shot he took of Lillian would grace the cover of Life magazine. But in the 1960’s the world was not ready to embrace a rela- tionship between a white man and a black woman. They moved on, Henry married his high school sweetheart, Merilee, and had a daughter, Rachel. The marriage was not happy, Merilee did not understand Henry’s artistic passions, she wanted stability. When Rachel was 8 Henry learned that Lillian had moved to Africa, opening a small orphanage in Rwanda. He had a few dollars set aside and decid- ed he must take this chance, go to Africa and try to prove he could make it as a serious photographer.

  • Oral History Interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30
    Oral history interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Chuck Close on May 14, 1987. The interview took place at the artist's studio on 75 Spring Street, New York City, and was conducted by Judd Tully for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview JUDD TULLY: According to published information, you were born in the state of Washington in 1940. What was your actual birthdate and tell me a little bit about Monroe, Washington? CHUCK CLOSE: July 5, 1940. Monroe, Washington, was a smelly little town halfway up the Cascade Mountains, northeast of Seattle. I didn't live there very long, actually. I was born at home -- not in a hospital -- of humble beginnings. Actually, I want to go back and photograph the house, because if I were a politician it would be great to have a picture of the shack that I was born in. [They laugh.] MR. TULLY: Was it really a shack? MR. CLOSE: Well, it wasn't a real shack, but it was a very modest little cottage. "Cottage" is giving it all the benefit of the doubt. It was definitely on the wrong side of the tracks -- about thirty five feet from the tracks.
