  • Circa 1900 Celebrating American Turn-Of-The-Century Arts

    Circa 1900 Celebrating American Turn-of-the-Century Arts Symposia on the Occasion of the Reopening of the Detroit Institute of Arts Thursday, March 27–Monday, March 31, 2008 The confluence of the opening of Life’s Pleasures: The Ashcan Artists’ Brush with Leisure and the reinstallation of the Arts and Crafts objects in the refurbished galleries of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) highlights a golden era in Detroit’s cultural and artistic history. This three-part celebration of Detroit’s golden age marks the DIA’s reopening and celebrates the Ashcan exhibition. In the first symposium, we consider what is termed the Ashcan school, expanding the number of associated artists to a broader, more numerous group, thus redefining an aspect of our understanding of this school of American painting; in line with Robert Henri’s dicta, these artists captured the world as they found it, absorbing, in his words, “the great ideas native to this country.” The prominence given Robert Henri, leading John La Farge, Helping Angel Window Panel, 1890, stained glass. Detroit Institute of Arts, Gift of the Unitarian Church Trust, Ashcan artist and teacher, in the pages of 59.168.A Gustav Stickley’s Arts and Crafts bible, The Craftsman, cements the link between the Ashcan school and the Arts and Crafts movement, the focus of the second symposium. The Ashcan school also championed a social doctrine consistent with concern for the conditions of the craftsman. It has been noted that between 1906 and 1911 many of the major craftsmen working in Europe and America were represented at the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (DSAC), which by 1916 became the first American Society of Arts and Crafts to erect its own building.

  • History of Grosse Pointe

    GPHS - History of Grosse Pointe The History of Grosse Pointe Portions of this history appeared earlier as the article, "Only Strangers Spoke English." The League of Women Voters was commissioned to create it for use in the Grosse Pointe Rotary Club's 1976 antiques show program. Originally written by Barbara Thompson, this chapter from The League of Women Voters, “Know Your Grosse Pointe”, 2002, was edited and updated by Jean Dodenhoff, then curator of The Society. Early Lake St. Clair: Geologists find Lake St. Clair's beginnings in the glacial eras. The prehistoric lake covered all of Grosse Pointe except for terrain that is now The Hill in Grosse Pointe Farms. The crest of this island stretched along the present Kercheval Avenue and Ridge Road. Over time, as the lake drained into an evolving Detroit River, the island expanded. Eventually, its northern beach which stretched along Mack Avenue from East Outer Drive to Eleven Mile Road served, in turn, as an Indian pathway, a French settler road and a Grosse Pointe thoroughfare. Early Visitors: Animals and people arrived in Southeastern Michigan between glacial advances. Paleo-Indians, like their descendants, used Lake St. Clair beaches for hunting and trading. Arrow heads and pottery shards left behind have been uncovered by amateur archeologists like Jerry De Visscher, who, as a boy, found many artifacts near Mack Avenue on his father's Cook Road farm. In historical times, the Native Americans were joined by European missionaries and illegal traders/trappers or coureurs de bois. In summer 1669, the Frenchman Adrien Joliet, with his Iroquois guide, was among the first white men to venture into Lake St.

Thanks to Steve McBride, Pewabic’s staff and board, and their community of supporters for taking the time to share their hopes, dreams, and visions as we explored glimpses of their possible future, which surely will be bright. Our thanks to Casey Cunningham, Carol Mayer-Reed, and Stan Jones for orienting us to Portland’s many inspiring examples of artful rainwater design. Thanks to the citizens of Portland for their leadership in environmental design. We would like to thank our colleagues at the School of Natural Resources and Environment, especially our fellow students of landscape architecture, for their enthusiasm, interest, and support throughout our project.

This master’s project offers a case study exploration of the potential for arts-based revitalization through a campus landscape design for Pewabic Pottery, one of the last surviving pottery studios of the early 20th cen- tury Arts and Crafts era and a widely-appreciated Detroit arts institution.

Since 1911 5138 West Michigan Avenue Ypsilanti, Michigan 48197 (734) 434 2660 www.SchmidtsAntiques.com FEATURED ARTISTS: Mathias Alten, German/American, 1871-1938 A longtime, and prominent resident of Grand Rapids, this Impressionist painter was well versed in oil, watercolor, and pastel painting. Beyond prolific, Alten completed an unprecedented amount of works in his lifetime; it is said to be a sum of over 3,000. While Alten is perhaps best known for his landscapes and vibrant beach tableau, he was certainly an accomplished portrait artist, creating striking renditions of his subjects. Known as the "Dean of Michigan Painters", he traveled throughout the country, as well as Europe, but always returned to Grand Rapids, a city that he loved and chose to make his home. Myron Barlow, American, 1873-1937 Although many label Barlow as a “French” artist, as he spent a considerable amount of time in France, he was actually born in Ionia, Michigan, and raised in Detroit. He studied with Joseph Gies while a student at the Detroit Museum School, and he also briefly attended the Chicago Art Institute. He began his career as a newspaper artist, but soon decided to travel and study abroad to learn from the masters, where he became greatly inspired by the works of Vermeer. While in Europe, he earned his first medal by the tender age of twenty-two, and by thirty-four was the sole American elected to be a member of the Societe Nationale des Beaux Arts in France.
