Annual Report 2013 from the Director & Board Chair ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FROM THE DIRECTOR & BOARD CHAIR As you will see from this annual report, 2013 was a remarkable year at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We brought world-class experiences in the arts, gardens and education to 131,837 children and adults. We presented a varied and dynamic series of exhibitions ranging from Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color to Jim Draper: Feast of Flowers and from La Florida: 500 Years of Florida Art to Future Retro: The Great Age of the American Automobile. We shined a light on The Cummer Collection, one of our great assets, through travelling exhibitions, conservation and acquisitions. We invested in our campus by repairing and replacing things not seen by visitors while bringing new standards of beauty and openness to what is seen. We restored and opened to the public for the first time the historic Olmsted Garden and significantly enhanced the front of the Museum through a merging of landscape, art installations, green initiatives and visitor spaces like the Cummer Café. We continued to focus on education, serving more than 25,000 students and teachers through classroom outreach, tours and professional William Glackens (American, 1870 - 1938), The Lake, c. 1913-18, oil on canvas, 25 1/8 x 30 in., development for educators.

  • Perspective: the Salmagundi Club
    WESTERN VIsta DI CLUB N GU ma L A HE S PERSPECTIVE: T OF sy E THE SaLMAGUNDI CLUB T OUR C S With a membership that spans from Thomas Moran to GE Scott Christensen, New York’s Salmagundi Club is a national treasure ma © ALL I WRIttEN BY Allen Morris Jones Western art as we know it now was effectively born in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period wherein a handful of painters and sculptors took up their tools and trekked west, making pilgrimages to Wyoming, New Mexico and Arizona. Well-educated in the great traditions, they brought with them the visual vocabulary that was then being used in Paris, in London, in New York. Thomas Moran visited Yellowstone in 1871, then the Grand Canyon in 1873. Ernest Blumenschein threw a wheel in Taos in 1898, and E. Irving Couse bumped into Blumenschein, Joseph Henry Sharp and Bert Phillips in France, where he listened to them rave about the desert. Reading the biographies of these extraordinary painters, it soon strikes you that they had at least one thing in common, that the name of a single august club keeps cropping up. One of the oldest continuing art societies in America, the Salmagundi Club is housed in a beautiful four-sto- ry brownstone on Manhattan’s lower Fifth Avenue. An exhibition space, a restaurant, a library, a bar and a bil- liards room, here is a New York club in a faded tradition, a harkening back to those days when the word salon meant more than a place where you could go to get your hair cut.

Two centuries ago the definition seemed simple, but today the genre has expanded beyond the parameters of 19th-century Westward Expansion, beyond cowboys and Indians and vast landscapes. Today hundreds of artists push the boundaries of what constitutes Western art. Brian Dippie, art historian at British Columbia’s University of Victoria, states controversially in his 2011 article, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Western Art,” in The Literature and Culture of the American West, edited by Nicolas S.

  • WESTERN ART GALLERY the Brinton Museum Is Located on the Historic Quarter Circle a Ranch in the Foothills of the Bighorn Mountains
    WESTERN ART GALLERY The Brinton Museum is located on the historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Bradford Brinton purchased the ranch headquarters in 1923 from the Scotsman William Moncreiffe and used the Ranch House at the Quarter Circle A as a vacation home, spending several months each year in Big Horn. An avid collector of fine art, American Indian artifacts, firearms, and books, Bradford Brinton filled his home with fine and beautiful items. He was personal friends with many artists, such as Ed Borein, Hans Kleiber and Bill Gol- lings, whose art decorated the house. He also collected works by Frederic Re- mington, Charles M. Russell and Winold Reiss. Several of these important works of art are now on exhibit in The Brinton’s Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building in the Ted and Katie Meredith Western Gallery of Art. Bradford and his sister, Helen Brinton, left an enduring legacy of the golden era of an early 20th Century gentleman’s working ranch. The Wild West had been tamed, the vast rangelands fenced, and motorized vehicles were replacing horses. Americans were clinging to the images of hardy cowboys, noble Indians, and untamed land filled with birds and wild beasts. Bradford and Helen Brinton have helped preserve the feel- ing of the West at that time for all of us to enjoy today. Above: Bradford Brinton and friends riding the Buffalo Bill stage coach, The Brinton Museum Archives Right: Bradford Brinton on his Palomino horse, Pal; the Quarter Circle A Ranch Post; and thoroughbreds on the Brinton Barn grounds, 2015 John Mix Stanley was an artist-explorer known for his landscapes, American In- dian portraits and scenes of tribal life in the American West.
