This comes with a magnificent account of the year’s exhibitions in Stockbridge and across the nation, educational and community programs, scholarship to advance illustration art, and curatorial achievements. This remarkable Museum does all of this and more, inspired by the values Norman Rockwell depicted in his iconic paintings. His works portray freedom, tolerance, humanity and kindness, integrity, honesty, and authenticity along with a joyfulness and celebration of life. These values inspire our visitors and staff alike. The Museum concluded its fiscal year on June 30, 2012 in a strong position. As noted a year ago, we eliminated our long-term debt. This year we are pleased to report that we have no short-term Norman Rockwell Museum President Anne Morgan borrowing on our balance sheet. Annual attendance at the Museum has generated good revenue, and and Chairman Thomas we saw nationwide interest and attendance grow for our traveling exhibition program as well. L. Pulling. We are especially grateful for the generosity of our members and donors who care so deeply for this national treasure in the Berkshires.

  • An American in Paris: Herbert Gentry Said His Paintings Possess a ‘Certain Spontaneity’ and Reflect ‘People I’Ve Met Throughout the World’ by Victoria L
    An American in Paris: Herbert Gentry Said His Paintings Possess a ‘Certain Spontaneity’ and Reflect ‘People I’ve Met Throughout the World’ by Victoria L. Valentine | January 16, 2021 MANY BLACK AMERICAN ARTISTS thrived in Europe during the post-war years and Herbert Gentry (1919-2003) was at the center of the milieu. In 1949, he established Chez Honey, a gallery-club in the Montparnasse area of Paris, a popular gathering place that engendered many of his friendships and artistic connections. His circle included Beauford Delaney, Romare Bearden, Ed Clark, Larry Rivers, James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Eartha Kitt, Orson Welles, Duke Ellington, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. The venue, where art was displayed by day, jazz flowed at night, and American and European artists, musicians, and intellectuals gathered across racial lines, inspired one of Gentry’s paintings. “Chez Honey” (1949) is on view at Ryan Lee Gallery in New York. He produced the moody-hued, gestural abstraction the same year he started the club. “Herbert Gentry: Paris and Beyond 1949-1978” at Ryan Lee presents paintings and drawings surveying Gentry’s European years across three decades. Bursting with expression and networks of calligraphic lines, the improvisational works channel the spirit of jazz. The presence of faces and figures suggest the artist’s cultural fluidity and the spectrum of people in his orbit. The gallery is presenting works by Gentry for the first time, in cooperation with the artist’s estate. “The works are channel the spirit of jazz, bursting with expression and networks of improvisational lines. The presence of faces and figures suggest the artist’s cultural fluidity and the spectrum of people in his orbit.” Gentry was born in Pittsburgh, Pa.

  • The Barnett Aden Gallery: a Home For
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture THE BARNETT ADEN GALLERY: A HOME FOR DIVERSITY IN A SEGREGATED CITY A Dissertation in Art History by Janet Gail Abbott Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2008 ii The dissertation of Janet Gail Abbott was reviewed and approved* by the following: Joyce Henri Robinson Associate Professor of Art History Dissertation Advisor Co-Chair of Committee Sarah K. Rich Associate Professor of Art History Co-Chair of Committee Charlotte Houghton Associate Professor of Art History Joan Landes Ferree Professor of History and Women’s Studies Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT In 1943 Professor James V. Herring along with Alonzo J. Aden, his former student and colleague at Howard University, opened the Barnett Aden Gallery within the modest home they shared in Washington, D.C. As founders of one of the first black- owned galleries in the nation, their mission was to provide an exhibition space for talented artists without regard to ethnicity or national origin. During the next twenty-five years, the Barnett Aden Gallery became a unique site for cross-cultural exchange—where artists, writers, musicians, and politicians of all races met freely for social, professional, and aesthetic discourse—one of few such places in severely segregated Washington, D.C. The Barnett Aden performed the traditional gallery function of featuring talented emerging artists, but it provided a critical service for African American artists, who had few opportunities to show their work in parity with white artists or even to see evidence of their existence within established art institutions.

    Oral history interview with Romare Bearden, 1968 June 29 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 Romare Bearden on June 29, 1968. The interview was conducted by Henri Ghent for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview HENRI GHENT: This is Henri Ghent interviewing Romare Bearden, painter. Mr. Bearden, where were you born? ROMARE BEARDEN: I was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, September 2, 1914. However, my mother and father were living in New York and I think they just went to Charlotte and returned shortly after I was born. I grew up mostly in New York and some time in Pittsburgh where I would to go see my grandmother. But I had very little interest in painting or in art, I should say, as a young boy. It was only when I was about to graduate from high school that I began to become interested in art and in drawing cartoons at that time. I was then with my grandmother. The only time that I won any prizes was during this period of my last year in high school and I remember the first was a poster for a clean-up campaign. Another one had to do with a moving picture in Pittsburgh. With both of them my grandmother had me simplify what I had done. When I went to college I thought that I was going to be a doctor and I majored in science and later in mathematics.
