    IJudithIllustriousllustrious Goffman Cutler and Laurence S. Cutler usher in a new Achievements “Golden Age” of American illustration. By Margie Goldsmith ou know how Imelda Marcos collects shoes?” asks Y Laurence S. Cutler, in ref- erence to his wife, Judith Goffman Cutler. “That’s how Judy collects American illustration.” Judy, known as the doyenne of the American illustra- tion market, and Laurence, a former professor of architecture and urban design at Harvard, MIT and the Rhode Island School of Design, are the driving forces behind the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island. The first museum of its kind dedicated to American illustra- tion art, NMAI also has another distinction: It is the Cutlers’ home. The Cutlers’ blue-chip collection, which focuses on the Golden Age of American Illustration (1870–1965), represents the greatest assemblage of Maxfield Parrish works in the world: 68 illustrations. The museum also houses the largest collection of works by J.C. Leyendecker, James Montgomery Flagg and Charles Dana Gibson. The astounding inventory: roughly 2,000 paintings, 80,000 works on paper and limited-edition prints by 80 illustrators, among which is the second- largest collection of Norman Rockwell pieces after the Norman Rockwell, “Miss Liberty,” 1943, oil on canvas, 41 3/4” x 31 1/4”.

  • The National Museum of American Illustration & Touro Synagogue
    The National Museum of American Illustration & Touro Synagogue Wednesday, May 23 8 am – Depart from the Museums’ State Street parking lot located across the street from the Springfield Main Library. Park in the lot and meet the bus at the curbside. We ask participants to arrive by 7:45 am. We will make one rest stop en route. Enjoy a guided tour of Touro Synagogue (dedicated in 1763), the oldest synagogue building in the United States. A structure of exquisite beauty and design, steeped in history and ideals, the synagogue is considered one of the ten most architecturally distinguished buildings of 18th century America and the most historically significant Jewish building in the United States. The congregation was founded in 1658 by the descendants of Jewish families who fled the Inquisitions in Spain and Portugal and who themselves left the Caribbean seeking the greater religious tolerance that Rhode Island offered. In his famous letter to the "Hebrew congregation at Newport," written in 1790, President George Washington pledged that our new nation would give "to bigotry no sanction and to persecution no assistance." Touro Synagogue stands as a symbol of religious freedom for all Americans. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1946. The Ambassador John L. Loeb Jr. Visitors Center opened in 2009 with exhibits to further explore the history of Newport's early Jewish community and the origins of First Amendment rights. Enjoy lunch at La Forge Restaurant. Choose from the following menu: Starter (choose one): Lobster Bisque or Mixed greens salad Entrée (choose one): Baked scrod, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Pan Seared Salmon, Scallops, & Rock Shrimp Casserole.

Among its many documents, personal correspondence, artifacts, and ephemera, the unit also houses three large framed etchings donated by Lois Chaffee, wife of President/Chancellor Eugene B. Chaffee (1936 to 1970), in 1988. These three pieces are signed etchings from paintings done by famed 20th century American illustrator and author Howard Pyle (1853-1911). Anyone familiar with the stories of the American West, World Wars, or the lore and fantasy of faraway lands populated by pirates, buccaneers, and ne’er-do-wells that were popular in the 1880s through the 1950s will have come across the illustrative works of artists such as N. C. Wyeth, Harvey Dunn, Violet Oakley, Jessie Willcox Smith, Frank Schoonover, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Maxfield Parrish, among others. The wondrous illustrations that accompanied such stories elevated the genre and placed these artists as masters of the visual narrative.
