  • 50 Objects 50 Years
    50 OBJECTS 50 YEARS CELEBRATING HOUSATONIC MUSEUM OF ART Henri Cartier-Bresson French, 1908-2004 Mexico, Mexico City, 1963 Gelatin Silver Print, 1978 Gift of Nancy Miao Twitchell, 1992.20.11.04 Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photojournalist renowned for his countless memorable images of 20th century individ- uals and events. After studying painting and becoming influenced by Surrealism, he began a career in photography in 1931. His works are remarkable for their flawless composition, and they capture what has been called “the decisive moment” in a situation, of time arrested. His photographs, characteristically taken with a 35-mm camera, are “straight” photographs meaning they have not been cropped or manipulated. Cartier-Bresson witnessed and photographed many of his era’s most historic events, from the Spanish Civil War, to the Partition of India, the Chinese Revolution, and France’s 1968 student rebellion. He made numerous photographs of the German occupation of France, and in 1944, after escaping from a Nazi prison camp, organized underground photography units. He was the author of many photographic books including The Decisive Moment (1952), People of Moscow (1955), China in Transition (1956), The World of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1968), The Face of Asia (1972), About Russia (1974), and the retrospective Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photogra- pher (1992). A founder (1947) of the Magnum photo agency, he virtually retired from photography in the early 1970s and devoted himself to drawing. “O bliss of the collector, bliss of the man of leisure! Of no one has less been expected and no one has had a greater sense of well-being than..

  • Paper Trail: Th
    PAPER TRAIL: TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF THE BURT CHERNOW GALLERIES June 20 - July 23, 2012 HOUSATONIC MUSEUM OF ART FOREWORD This catalogue was conceived in conjunction with the Housatonic Museum of Art’s temporary exhibition, Paper Trail: 15th Anniversary Celebration of the Burt Chernow Galleries, June 20-July 23, 2012. The culmination of a nearly year-long project to catalogue the Museum’s print collection, Paper Trail highlights the objects of note from the institution’s nearly 2,000 works on paper. The Burt Chernow Galleries opened in 1997 as a dedicated space for changing exhibitions. Named after the late founder and Director Emeritus of the Housatonic Museum of Art, the galleries provide a location for the display of objects on loan or from the permanent collection. Since works on paper are most susceptible to damage from light, temperature and humidity, they cannot be on permanent view. With almost half the Museum’s collection in storage because it is on paper, it is fitting that an anniversary exhibition and catalogue should focus on these fragile works. Selecting which works best represent the print collection of the Housatonic Museum of Art is no easy task. Many factors go into such a decision, including considerations that are specific to the work and considerations that relate to the collection as a whole. For object-specific criteria, one must consider the art historical value of the piece, the importance of the artist, the condition of the work, the quality of the impression, and the strong graphic nature of the art. For collection-specific criteria, one must make sure the breadth of the collection is represented with a variety of styles, media and historical time periods included, while also making the strengths of the Museum’s holdings clear.
