St. Botolph Club Remains a Solid and Comforting Home

Volume 19 Number 1 : Fall 2017

Saint BotolphBulletin Comments from the Editorial Department Buell Hollister & Bill Taylor

The world outside 199 Commonwealth Avenue may be chaotic, politics in disarray, common knowledge upended daily, dark matter itself become visible – yet the St. Botolph Club remains a solid and comforting home. We are not, nor ever should be, in lockstep with each other, yet we broadly appreciate the same things in art and science. We have that wonderful thing called comity. We are accepting and tolerant – the big oak door at the top of the steps is closed only against intolerance and small-mindedness.

Our club life since the last edition of the Bulletin has been, as usual, vigorous and mind-expanding. Each week brought something new in music, history, art and literature. The Club Night and Round Table venues were crowded with far too many items of musical, literary, historical and otherwise interesting topics to cover in any detail here – nicely iced with great parties having no high-falutin’ values at all. In addition to 12th Night, in which spouses were allowed to see for themselves the deepest Botolphian mysteries for the ﬁrst time Lisa Bonneville after winning the Caledonian golf match in the Club’s history, we celebrated Bobby Burn’s birthday at Burns Night with a Caledonian golf game that had the walls ringing, or thudding anyway; a New Members Gala, which also celebrated those members, and a visit from our old friend, member Noel Stooky, are just a few of the season’s highlights.

After many years as editor (with a few off as president of the club), I am happy to announce that the job of publishing the The world outside 199 Commonwealth Avenue may be St. Botolph Bulletin on a regular basis will now be handled by chaotic, politics in disarray,“” common knowledge upended the capable Bill Taylor.

Following in the footsteps of Francis Parkman and Contributors his successors is an honor and a challenge, and I hope to be Terry Catchpole worthy of the conﬁdence you’ve shown in me. Peter Van Demark In these days of almost-constant controversy about how our Michael Halperson Steven Foote society is evolving, the mutual respect and close fellowship Pat Squire found behind the great front door at 199 Commonwealth Ken Turino Avenue is a refreshing relief and more important than ever. Of course, all of us have our own ideas, but our oasis provides a congenial setting where we work hard and with pleasure to keep friendships in repair. Ours is a singular group. I look forward to growing our community in its traditional ways even as we welcome new members to help create our vital future. Please share your thoughts and ideas with me; the St. Botolph Club is a collaborative undertaking!

2 | SAINT BOTOLPH BULLETIN Art Happenings by Pat Squire

One of the objectives of the St. Botolph Club Art Committee is to recognize the founding spirit of the club by its adventurous exhibition policy and the encouragement of new talent.

How ﬁtting that 2017 started with the Fellows Fanfare, organized by Barbara Lucas and the Fellows Committee. All that was missing was a marching band!

March, by contrast, showed the works of Maine artists in an exhibition creatively entitled “Mainestream”, curated by Committee members Shaw Sprague and Richard Milhender, followed in April by the works of two artists, Elena du Plessis and Kim Radochia. The curators of that show, Barbara Lucas and Michael Price, chose well. More works were sold than in Shaw Sprague any recent show!

Until mid-September, members were treated to an exhibition of landscapes, an interesting mix of mediums and subjects. It included works both by members and from the collections of members. This show was curated by Michael Allen, Anne Kilguss and Patricia Squire. Please notice, by the way, a small green notebook with a cover designed by Margaret Shepherd. The Art Committee hopes that members and guests will write comments on each show in order to make the staircase walls a participatory project and give the Committee direction and ideas for future shows. The notebook will be on display in the hallway.

New to the club’s own collection is a portrait by the noted African-American artist John Wilson (1922-2015) titled “Ashanti”. Members may remember that Wilson had a solo exhibit in 2015 at the club. A Roundtable discussion of Wilson’s work was held in June by noted authority and close friend of his, Edmund Barry Gaither, Director and Curator of the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists. From early September through mid-October an exhibit of works from the Museum, co-curated by Michael Allen and Cathryn Grifﬁth. The exhibition sampled a tiny portion of the wide range of the Museum’s holdings of African-American art. It is hoped that Club members will visit the Museum, as the Director uses the exhibit as a “teaser of the treasurers in their keeping.”

Finally, the Art Committee encourages members to attend openings, club nights, and Roundtable discussions – and, of course, to consider a purchase of some art!

VOLUME 19 NUMBER 1 | 3 Tarbell by Ken Turino

The Tarbell Charitable Trust was generous enough to lend this painting to St. Botolph Club while the Hood museum is under renovation – a process that will last through 2018. We have a unique opportunity for the club and its members to enjoy this wonderful painting, and members should take the opportunity to view it in the Library’s welcoming setting. The renovations are expected to last through 2018.

Before purchasing the Greek Revival Cooper house in New Castle in 1905, the Tarbell family spent their summers in rented cottages along the New England coast. This airy painting at the small, Cape Cod community of Cotuit is the earliest full portrait by Tarbell of his family. Tarbell is known to have enjoyed playing golf at the Cotuit course. Here, everyone except for his eldest daughter is dressed in white; the blue ocean water glistens behind them. Josephine sits in her pink dress reading, her idle hand resting on her brother’s carriage. To her left is youngest daughter Mary; her older sister Mercie pretends to ride a toy horse next to her. On the far left their mother Emeline is seated in proﬁle holding a young Edmund in her lap. Edmund Arnold Tarbell was the artist’s only son, born during a family holiday in New Castle in June 1898.

Though he was never a member of the club, Edmund C. Tarbell certainly associated with a number of its members and the club played an important role as a venue over the course of his esteemed career. Edmund C. Tarbell’s first major exhibition was held in 1891, a joint exhibition at the S.B.C with good friend and fellow artist Frank “My Family at Cotuit”, ca. 1900. Oil on canvas; Benson at its original location at 4 Newbury Street. It was here he exhibited some of Signed lower right; Collection of the Tarbell his most important and influential early work. Later, in 1898 after what could Charitable Trust in the Hood Museum at be considered a meteoric rise, the artist was given his first major solo exhibition at Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. St. Botolph Club. Six years later in 1904 Tarbell was given another solo exhibition at the club in which 25 paintings and 11 drawings were shown.

Noel Paul Stookey

Member Noel Paul Stookey sang for a highly successful fundraising event at the Club in April to benefit the Heritage Fund. Stookey, of Peter, Paul and Mary fame, has been a Botolphian since 1979.

The crowd sang along with some old chestnuts like America the Beautiful, which Noel gave a refreshing new feel with his light, yet heartfelt touch, showing the new colors that a real artist Anita Lincoln, Anne Azéma, and Adelaide MacMurray-Cooper can evoke in a piece that has seemingly been sung beyond exhaustion. But it was his newer songs that proved that his Distinguished Artist talents had developed and deepened over more than half a century. From the humorous “Impeachable” (which has Anne Azéma is a world-renowned soprano, teacher, and import in current events) to “Queue the Moon”, “1941” and scholar, specializing in vocal music of the Renaissance and many others that together went on for an hour and a half, Middle Ages.

On February 16th, the biennial Fanfare performance evening was held, showcasing the extraordinary range of talents of our Fellows. The evening, masterfully emceed by Debra Wise, included performances by current Fellows Charles Coe, Kristy Kuhn, and Nathan Miner, and by former Fellow, now member Elaine Dimopoulos.

The event took full advantage of the physical beauty of the Clubhouse and offered new ways of interacting with the accompanying Fanfare art exhibition, which opened on January 18th and included works by Fellows Christine Collins, Emanuela de Musis, Oana Lauric, Nathan Miner, Fellows Fanfare 2017: Oana Lauric Lisa Rosowsky, Sean Flood and Ellen Schön. Following an opening deep-throated “call” on the didgeridoo performed by Charles Coe, attendees were invited to mount the stairs to hear Nathan Miner read his poem The Pin- nacle of You that he described as “coming from the same train of thought” as the series of his paintings exhibited Annual Meeting Notes nearby.

VOLUME 19 NUMBER 1 | 5 The Work of the House and New Members Design Committees The Club’s by-laws charge the House Committee with “making recommendations as to repairs, maintenance, and structural improvements to the Club”, and the Design Committee with “making recommendations as to aesthetic design and decorations”.
