    40 Table of Contents Welcome What is the landscape for emerging artists? Thoughts from the Founding Director Past & Current Pentacle Artists Tribute to Past Pentacle Staff Board of Directors- Celebration Committee- Staff Body Wisdom: Pentacle Celebrates Forty Years Tonight’s Program & Performers Event Sponsors & Donors Greetings Welcome Thank you for joining us tonight and celebrating this 40th Anniversary! In 1976 we opened our doors with a staff of four, providing what we called “cluster management” to four companies. Our mission was then and remains today to help artists do what they do best….create works of art. We have steadfastlyprovided day-to-day administration services as well as local and national innovative projects to individual artists, companies and the broader arts community. But we did not and could not do it alone. We have had the support of literally hundreds of arts administrators, presenters, publicists, funders, and individual supporters. So tonight is a celebration of Pentacle, yes, and also a celebration of our enormously eclectic community. We want to thank all of the artists who have donated their time and energies to present their work tonight, the Rubin Museum for providing such a beautiful space, and all of you for joining us and supporting Pentacle. Welcome and enjoy the festivities! Mara Greenberg Patty Bryan Director Board Chair Thoughts from the Founding Director What is the landscape for emerging dance artists? A question addressed forty years later. There are many kinds of dance companies—repertory troupes that celebrate the dances of a country or re- gion, exquisitely trained ensembles that spotlight a particular idiom or form—classical ballet or Flamenco or Bharatanatyam, among other classicisms, and avocational troupes of a hundred sorts that proudly share the dances, often traditional, of a hundred different cultures.

  • Summer Fridays: Exploring the Work of Richard Mayhew
    Summer Fridays: Exploring the Work of Richard Mayhew Inspiration: Richard Mayhew (American, b. 1924). Friday, 1982. Oil on canvas. Gift of Dr. Thomas A. Mathews, 1987 (87.16.1). Ages: 5+ (through adult) Duration: Open-ended Materials: Paper and pencil (or artistic medium of your choice). Introduction: The basic definition of “landscape art” is “the depiction of natural scenery.” As a major genre in artistic traditions across the world, landscape art has evolved over time from what can be considered an “objective” rendering to often a more “subjective” one. Artists like Richard Mayhew have experimented with and infused individualistic identity into the genre in unique ways, expanding the definition of landscape art in general. hrm.org/museum-from-home 1 Look Take a close look at Friday. • What’s going on in this work? • What do you see that makes you say that? • What more can you find? Think • Is the landscape Mayhew depicts in Friday familiar or unfamiliar to you? Why or why not? • What part of the composition is your eye drawn to first? • How does the artist’s choice of color affect your emotions and mood when viewing this work? • How does the artist’s use of the artistic elements of form and value in the work influence your reaction to it? • If you could only use verbs/action words to describe the painting, what words would you choose? Why? Connect Richard Mayhew (b. 1924) grew up in Amityville, New York, and now resides in California. He is of African American and Native American descent. His mother was African American and Cherokee, and his father was African American and Shinnecock.

  • Aca Galleriesest. 1932
    ACA GALLERIES EST. 1932 For Immediate Release Contact: Mikaela Sardo February 26, 2020 212-206-8080 [email protected] Richard Mayhew: Transcendence June 4 through October 17, 2020 ACA Galleries is pleased to present a solo exhibition of Richard Mayhew, Transcendence, which celebrates the release of his first monograph published by Chronicle Books with an essay and interview by Andrew Walker, Executive Director of the Amon Carter Museum. Born in 1924 in Amityville, New York Mayhew’s parents were both descendants of African- Americans and Native-Americans. Early on he learned about Native American culture and folklore which instilled in him a lifelong reverence for nature. In 1945, Mayhew moved to New York City and attended the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s School and Art Students League, where he studied with Reuben Tam, Edwin Dickinson, Hans Hofmann and Max Beckmann. His first solo exhibition was at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1955. Recognized as one the most important living American landscape painters, he has had more than forty solo exhibitions over the last fifty years. In 1958, Mayhew was awarded the John Hay Whitney Foundation Grant which enabled him to travel to Europe in 1959 to continue his studies. After returning to New York in 1963 he became a founding member of “Spiral,” a group of African- American artists and intellectuals committed to promoting civil rights in the art world. When I paint a tree, I feel it, I have an intense emotional and spiritual union with nature. That’s part of my heritage and I’ve been faithful to it.
