  • Janet Clemens: Women Have Been Contributing Art to the Capitol Since the Time of the Civil War. What Is the Capitol
    >> Janet Clemens: Women have been contributing Art to the Capitol since the time of the Civil War. What is the Capitol Collection and how are women represented through sculpture, both from the perspective of artists and its subjects. In this episode, we'll explore some aspects of this collection with special guest Dr Michele Cohen, curator for the Architect of the Capitol. [ Music ] You're listening to Shaping History: Women in Capitol Art, produced by the Capitol Visitor Center. Our mission is to inform, involve, and inspire every visitor to the United States Capitol. I'm your host Janet Clemens. [ Music ] I'm here with Dr. Michele Cohen, curator for the Architect of the Capitol. Dr. Cohen, welcome to the podcast. >> Michele Cohen: Oh, thank you for having me. >> Janet Clemens: So, a curator is charged with the care of the collection and as curator for the Architect of the Capitol, you're responsible for a lot of artworks in the Capitol Collection. This building is not just filled with art, it's covered with art I would say. And so, can you just sort of give us an overview of the kinds of artworks that fall under your scope? >> Michele Cohen: So, our purview is primarily the architectural art associated with the Capitol Building and the Capitol campus. So, we oversee, for example, the maintenance and preservation of Freedom on top of the Capitol dome. We are responsible for maintaining the murals by Constantino Brumidi that are in the Senate wing, that are in the rotunda of the Capitol.

Docherty Among late nineteenth-century British authors, none possessed more power to fascinate than Robert Louis Stevenson. Invalided from an early age, Stevenson roamed the globe from Scotland to Samoa in a quest for health, generating a prodigious array of novels, stories, poems, and essays along the way. At the height of the writer’s fame and the depth of his illness, Augustus Saint-Gaudens created a profile portrait in bas-relief that would long outlive the sitter (1887–88; fig. 1). Modeled for personal pleasure, this image also served commercial and commemorative purposes in the years to come.

  • Cultural Resource Management in Wisconsin: Volume 1 a Manual for Historic Properties
    CULTURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN WISCONSIN: VOLUME 1 A MANUAL FOR HISTORIC PROPERTIES Barbara Wyatt, Project Director Resource Protection Planning Project HISTORIC PRESERVATION DIVISION STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN JUNE 1986 This project has been funded with the assistance ef a grant-in-aid from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, under provisions of the :National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Historic Preservation grants-in-aid are administered in Wisconsin in conjunction with the National Register of Historic Places program by the Historic Preservation Division of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The contents and opinions contained in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the National Park Service. Copyright 1986 by The State Historical Society of Wisconsin ISBN 0-8 7020-24 7-2 FOREWORD The State Historical Society of Wisconsin began its state historic preservation program in earnest in 1972, in response to the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. In 1973 the Socie y's "State Historic Preservation Office" began surveying the state to identify significant, historic and prehistoric resources. In 1977 the Society established the Division of Historic Preservation, committing itself formally to carrying out a preservation program for the state. By 1986, the division had identified some 70,000 properties of historic and prehistoric significance and listed them in a statewide inventory. As the state's inventory and historic preservation program has grown, it has become apparent that all the dala it has generated need to be rendered comprehensible through (1) computerization and (2) planning.

  • Background Story of Helen Mears
    BACKGROUND STORY OF HELEN MEARS Helen Farnsworth Mears, born in Oshkosh on December 21, 1872, was the daughter of English- Scottish parents from the Massachusetts area. Her father, John Mears, studied to be a surgeon, but due to financial circumstances turned to mining. Her mother had come to Wisconsin at the age of six when the Farnsworth family came to farm near Fond du Lac. Helen and her sisters attended Oshkosh schools and the Oshkosh Normal, but found the chief spur of creative skills within their home. Their mother had published under the name of Nellie Wildwood, a book of verse. The middle sister, Mary, followed her mother’s bent and became a professional writer. The eldest sister, Louise, the only one of the three sisters to marry, had a short career as a book illustrator. Helen showed a single-minded drive toward sculpture as her mode of expression. As a girl, she exhibited a head of Apollo at the county fair and made clay portraits of the neighbors that were embarrassingly true to life. She must have had strong innate gifts, for she had no outside instruction except as her father guided a knowledge of anatomy and made sure she had the proper tools. Helen’s first major achievement came at the age of twenty. Her clay sketch of a woman and winged eagle, entitled “Genius of Wisconsin” was commissioned for the Columbia Exposition of 1893 and she went to Chicago to chisel the design into a nine foot marble piece. The sculpture now stands in the Wisconsin State Capitol.
