Summer 2019 Director’S Letter
Summer 2019 Director’s Letter Dear Members, Summer in the Northwest is a glorious time of year. It is also notoriously busy. If you are like most people, you are eager fill your weekends with fun and adventure. Whether you are re-visiting some of your favorite places or discovering new ones, I hope Maryhill is on your summer short list. We certainly have plenty to tempt you. On July 13 we open the special exhibition West Coast Woodcut: Contemporary Relief Prints by Regional Artists, which showcases some of the best printmakers of the region. The 60 prints on view feature masterfully rendered landscapes, flora and fauna of the West coast, along with explorations of social and environmental issues. Plein air artists will be back in action this summer when the 2019 Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge kicks off in late July; throughout August we will exhibit their paintings in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. The show is always a delight and I look forward to seeing the Gorge through the eyes of these talented artists. Speaking of the Gorge — we are in the thick of it with the Exquisite Gorge Project, a collaborative printmaking effort that has brought together 11 artists to create large-scale woodblock prints reflective of a 220-mile stretch of the Columbia River. On August 24 we invite you to participate in the culmination of the project as the print blocks are inked, laid end-to-end and printed using a steamroller on the grounds at Maryhill. -

This commitment has resulted in the creation of an ongoing one-person contemporary exhibition series for artists of our region, APEX, and the biennial Contemporary Northwest Art Awards, as well as a renewed focus on historic figures through landmark survey exhibitions like Hilda Morris and Lee Kelly. -
Winter 2011–2012 Dear Members & Friends
Winter 2011–2012 Dear Members & Friends, It’s trulY NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT to say that Maryhill Museum of Art has had a monumental year. Last fall we received a generous challenge grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and in February held a groundbreaking for the first expansion in the museum’s history. On hand for the occasion were numerous members, donors and museum supporters who have worked hard to make the expansion project – many years in the making – a reality. Capital Campaign co-chair Laura Cheney, whose mother, Mary Hoyt Stevenson, provided the $2.6 million lead gift that made this new wing possible, was there to hoist a golden shovel and spoke eloquently about her mother’s dream for Maryhill.

TROUT DENNIS RICHARDSON DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 LESLIE CUMMINGS, PhD SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, This November 6, 2018 General Election marks 20 years since Oregon’s voters chose to conduct all elections through the mail. Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May. -
Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three -

Mission: From the unique Columbia River Gorge, Maryhill Museum of Art collects, presents and preserves art and historical and natural resources to enrich and educate residents and visitors of the Pacific Northwest. Values: Accountability · Diversity · Enjoyment · Innovation · Integrity · Welcoming · Quality · Stewardship · Sustainability The Year 2011 at Maryhill Museum of Art ANNUAL REPORT Maryhill Museum of Art, located in Goldendale, Washington is a thriving organization serving Columbia River Gorge residents as well as visitors from Washington, Oregon, and beyond. The museum offers an appealing mix of temporary exhibits, often featuring Northwest artists and contemporary work, with priceless works of American, European, and Native American art from its permanent collection. It provides a diverse range of educational programs directed at thousands of students, families, young adults, and adult learners. It is financially healthy with diversified revenue sources, a growing endowment, and an engaged staff and board. In 2011 it welcomed over 36,000 guests through its doors. It presented several seasonal exhibits and its permanent exhibits featuring the museum’s collections. The museum offered dozens of programs throughout the year. The year was momentous in that construction on the Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing began. This $10 million dollar addition brings an additional 25,000 square feet to the museum. Key features include a dedicated art education center for a wide range of public programming; a centralized collections suite to house the museum’s world-class collections; an outdoor plaza where visitors can better enjoy Maryhill’s extraordinary setting and outdoor sculpture; and a new café with terrace seating and stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge. -
Théodore Rivière: Sculpture
Théodore Rivière: Sculpture Théodore Rivière: Sculpture Théodore Louis Auguste Rivière (French, 1857‒1912) was born in Toulouse and received his art education there at the School of Fine Arts. He then attended the National School of Fine Arts of Paris. As a young man, Rivière studied under François Jouffroy (French, 1806‒1882), Antonin Mercié (French, 1845‒1916), and Alexandre Falguière (French, 1851‒1900)—who had been a student of both Jouffroy and Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse (French, 1824‒1887). Carrier- Belleuse is known to Maryhill Museum of Art patrons through his Diana, Goddess of the Hunt (1886), which stands opposite the museum’s public entrance. Rivière is remembered for his bronze sculptures, but he also worked in other mediums. His creations are generally associated with the Art Nouveau style and he was a leading French sculptor of Oriental subjects. Rivière drew inspiration from Greek and Roman mythology, biblical narratives, literary texts, and his travels in North Africa, the Far East, and elsewhere. He lived for a while in Carthage (Tunisia), and there completed two Orientalist groups based on Gustave Flaubert’s 1862 novel about Salammbô. These were exhibited to acclaim at the 1894 and 1895 Paris Salons. Maryhill Museum of Art’s Théodore Rivière collection has an interesting—even unusual—history. In 1949, Alma de Bretteville Spreckels wrote to the museum’s director and reported that she had acquired the sculptures in 1915, through Loïe Fuller. Chicago businessman and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald (1862–1932), who was an owner and executive of Sears, Roebuck and Company, was also interested in them, but Alma “begged” Loïe to let her have the works. -
