LRMA News SUMMER 2019 DIRECTOR ’S REPORT
The past few months have been busy at the Museum. Our spring exhibition, O Patria Mia: Leontyne Price and Aïda , proved to be very popular and allowed us to celebrate the acclaimed opera diva and Laurel native. A new generation of Laurelites now know of her hard work, fame, and success. I am appreciative of the support of the Price family, artist Diane Dillon, the Metropolitan Opera, and the Chisholm Foundation in making this exhibit a reality. The exhibition afforded us the opportunity to have several well received events. We are certainly grateful to Llettesha Sylvester and the Mississippi Opera for presenting a terrific music concert at the Museum and a school program at Oak Park Elementary School in March. Brig. Gen. (Ret.) George Price, Leontyne’s brother, visited the During the exhibition O Patria Mia , a portrait of Leontyne Price was given to Museum in April and provided a remarkable talk on his family and Oak Park Elementary School. Pictured with the painting are (l r) Gen. George growing up in Laurel. The exhibition closed with a special viewing of Price, artist Madata Okafor, LRMA Board Member Trina Heidelberg, and the Metropolitan Opera documentary, “The Opera House,” which LRMA Director George Bassi. starred Leontyne Price. In March, we were able to unveil the extraordinary painting Education programs and events abound this summer as Free Family Homeless by Bo Bartlett in memory of Linda Foil as the latest addition Art, Art Camp, teacher workshops, and our Laurel Housing Author to our collection.

The Museum’s fiscal year begins June 1 and with it comes the departure of Pat McLean from the Eastman Memorial Foundation Board of Directors. Pat served numerous terms on our governing board over the past 25 years, and she and her husband, Bill estab lished our first named endowment fund for education 15 years ago. Her unwavering devotion to this Museum, and particularly our education program, will be greatly missed. We are pleased to welcome Lampkin Butts and Kacey Bailey as two new board members and look forward to working with them as we advance the educa tional mission of the Museum.
Becky Dalton completes a successful term as president of the Guild of Docents & Volunteers in May. She is an amazing worker for the Museum and the Guild, and I am grateful for her leadership this past year. I am pleased to welcome Pam Oglesby as the new Guild Artist Bo Bartlett and Mike Foil president and know she will carry the torch well for this important Our late spring and summer exhibitions celebrate our Japanese organization. woodblock print collection and a Mississippi sculptor.

Please join Floyd Shaman’s children, Clover Mellen and Chris Shaman, as they discuss their father, his artwork, and his legacy.
Born in 1935 in Wheatland, Wyoming, Floyd Shaman earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sculpture at the University of Wyoming. In 1970, he moved to Cleveland, Mississippi to establish the sculpture division of the art department at Delta State University. After 10 years, he left academia and found success as an independent artist, regularly exhibiting work in galleries nationwide. His typical sculpture depicts everyday encounters defined by wit, wry humor, irony, and sober reflection. Shaman’s figures, often life sized, portray working class people, historical figures, and animals. He is considered to be one of the South’s most important figurative artists of the late 20th century. Wood and Whimsy features more than a dozen works that showcase his inventive techniques in producing sculpture from laminated wood.

Our “Collection Intervention” series places objects and special signage among pieces from our permanent collection. This latest installment displays Vogue covers on loan from the collection of Barbara Millhouse in Winston Salem, North Carolina side by side with examples from the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art’s collection of Japanese woodblock prints to highlight how early 20th century fashion artists were influenced by the works.
Early 20th century illustrators for Vogue magazine worked first in the Art Nouveau style, which was inspired by the curved lines of plants and flowers, and the Art Deco style that followed, which turned the flowing lines into streamlined, geometric forms. Both of these styles had been influenced by ukiyo e prints, utilizing sharp outlines, bright colors, unusual viewpoints, and flat perspectives. Although the subject matter is quite different, ukiyo e Isoda Koryusai, Yamato: Yoshi no Gawa (Yoshi prints and Vogue covers have been paired for this exhibition to present interesting River in the Province of Yamato) , c. 1774, gift of Wallace B.

In celebration of the fact that Masonite was invented by William H. Mason in Laurel, Mississippi, LRMA is pleased to feature this exhibition of 20th century American works that use Masonite as a support surface. Since the early 20th century, technology has created various types of engineered wood panels that have been used by artists as a surface on which to paint. These were designed to eliminate some of the problems of using solid wood, such as extensive preparation and coating of the surface, as well as the expansion, contraction, and splitting of the material. One of the most prevalent manufactured panels in use by artists in the 20th century was Masonite board. This type of hardboard, made from steam cooked and pressure molded wood fibers, was patented in 1924 in Laurel, Mississippi, by William H. Mason, who was a friend and protégé of inventor Thomas Edison. Due to its smooth surface and affordability, it quickly became popular with painters, a fact that this exhibition will celebrate.

12 SUMMER 2019 COLLECTIONS UPDATE
ACQUISITIONS: TWO WORKS BY BO BARTLETT
LRMA recently acquired two paintings by the nationally renowned figurative painter Bo Bartlett. As a child, Bartlett was fascinated by drawing and art in general. After studying in Florence, Italy, Boston, and New York, he moved to Philadelphia so that he could attend the University of the Arts and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In the tradition of Thomas Eakins, Bartlett studied anatomy at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and Thomas Jefferson University. For many years, he painted under the mentorship of one of America's greatest artists, Andrew Wyeth. Bartlett’s paintings are usually figurative, large scale, and charged with spiritual, psychological, and art historical meanings. Bo Bartlett (American, born 1955) Self Portrait as Asher Lev , 2010, oil on The acquisition of Bartlett’s 2018 painting titled Homeless was made possible by the Linda Foil panel, gift of Marilyn and Sidney W. Memorial Fund. The painting evokes the feeling of looking for the place where you belong Lassen and can feel welcome and safe. It was inspired by one of the artists involved in the “Home is Where the Art Is” program, in which homeless members of Bartlett’s hometown community in Columbus, Georgia participate in weekly art classes.
A second work by Bartlett, Self Portrait as Asher Lev , was made possible through the generosity of Marilyn and Sidney W. Lassen. The novel My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok deeply influenced the artist at a paramount point of his life. In his own words:
When I was in high school, one of my English teachers gave me a copy of ‘My Name is Asher Lev’ by Chaim Potok. It was read at a critical juncture for me as I was determining where I might go after high school. In the novel, the fictional character, Asher, travels to Florence, Italy to study. He was struggling with his Hasidic upbringing which forbade the making of religious paintings. I was struggling with my own Southern Baptist upbringing and found an instant soul connection with young Asher. He became a patron saint of sorts for me. As Asher grew in renown in the novel, I tried to emulate him, working long days and putting in my 10,000 hours. I created the portrait to always keep the spirit of young Asher with me in my studio. The painting always hung on my studio wall. It is a constant reminder. Paint from your soul. Push against all hegemonies. Keep yourself free.

Recent visitors to LRMA have noticed a few more activities for children in our galleries developed by the LRMA education department.
