The Year in Review 2006-2007

SC MAsmith college museum of art

from the director

Inquiry and learning are at the heart of what the Smith College Museum of 2006-2007 Art (SCMA) offers. This year’s annual report, SCheMA 2006–2007, is lined with stories that illustrate how the Museum is furthering its mission to promote learning, understanding and enjoyment of art among an ever-broadening audience.

Through the 2006–2007 academic year, the Museum continued to serve as a tremendous resource for teaching and learning on Smith’s campus. At the same time, more and more visitors from across the community and around the SC MA country found their way to our galleries, classrooms, and lecture halls. Our many programs—from the Dulcy B. Miller Lecture in Art and Art History, featuring investigations of the art of Hieronymous Bosch, to a screening of the documentary filmThe Rape of Europa—drew record audiences. The nearly 1,500 guests who joined us in February for the launch of Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable Art made tangible the special role our Museum plays as a gathering place for the Acquisitions 3 Art Gifts & Purchases 7 Museum at a Glance 15 Fashioning Tradition 16 Innovative Programs 18 College and the community.

Consultant Jessica Nicoll, Director and Chief Curator and scholar Roger Keyes reviewed the Museum’s Japanese print collection, which led to the discovery of a number of rare prints, most notably the only impression in the United States of Hokusai’s Clear Weather, Southern Breeze (the first iteration of what would evolve into the better known Red Fuji). Students and visitors had the opportunity to study Buddhist art, both through the ongoing loan of a ninth-century Javanese Buddha and through the special exhibition
