    COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220-4007 www.vmfa.museum/pressroom I T 804.204.2704 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2013 Summer Art Acquisitions The following artworks were approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees in June 2013. VMFA is a state agency and a public/private partnership. All works of art are purchased with private funds from dedicated endowments. After VMFA’s board approves proposed acquisitions on a quarterly basis, the art becomes the property of the Commonwealth of Virginia to protect, preserve, and interpret. 1. Head of a Herm, Augustan (late 1st c. BCE—early 1st century CE), marble, 19¾‖ (w/o base); 26¾‖ (w/base). Arthur and Margaret Glasgow Endowment. This beautifully carved image of a bearded god is VMFA’s first major acquisition of ancient art in recent years and a significant addition to the museum’s holdings of Greek and Roman sculpture. As a late Hellenistic or Roman creation based on an original from the mid-fifth century BCE, this sculpture reflects the esteem later generations of artists held for the art of classical Athens. The head came from a herm, a type of sculpture that consists of a head surmounting a tall pillar with projecting posts evoking arms and an erect phallus. Early herms had a sacred character and served as distance and boundary markers with the power to ward away evil. Later herms had different type of heads, including female heads and even portraits. The form of the herm has remained part of the visual vocabulary of Western art with a wide variety of adaptations.

    IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION Photo caption. Photo caption. Preliminary Experience Create a Journal from an Altered Book OBJECTIVES A TEACHING GUIDE FOR GRADE 4 AArtrtrtSmaSSmart:mart:t: Indiana INDIANA’S VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS The fi rst ArtSmart: Indiana was a major educational and public program of the Greater Lafayette Art Museum (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette), created to meet the goal of improving visual literacy, museum education skills, and awareness of the development of art in Indiana. The original program, (1986) written by Susan O. Chavers, and implemented by Sharon Smith Theobald, was a nontraditional multidisciplinary approach that was well received by Hoosier teachers who included ArtSmart: Indiana in their curricular plans. A copy of the ArtSmart: Indiana 200 page Resource Guide was sent to every library throughout Indiana, with the support of Pam Bennett at the Indiana Historical Bureau. The current revision of ArtSmart: Indiana, as a web-based initiative, is a Partnership Education Program of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Special appreciation is extended to Dr. Jeffrey Patchen, President and CEO, and Mary Fortney, Educational Resource Development Manager, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The updated ArtSmart: Indiana project was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services with additional support from the McAllister Foundation to launch the McAllister Art Smart: Indiana Technology Center. Also, Randolph Deer, Indianapolis, and The North Central Health Services helped underwrite the additional printings of the The Art Smart: Indiana Resource Catalog and The Teaching Guide.

  • Milch Galleries
    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

  • Teaching the Impact of Litigation Costs on The
    FIZZ FIGHT: HOW SODA TAXES AFFECT COCA-COLA’S BUSINESS STRATEGY Margaret Sherman and Harold Weston * I. INTRODUCTION How does a firm respond when government tries to tax away demand for its products? It responds with typical opposition (litigation, public relations, lobbying), and in the case of sugar taxes on soft drinks, by changing its business strategy to offer different products. Thus, in addition to the impact sugar taxes may have on consumer demand behavior, sugar taxes have significant impact on supplier behavior, as this study on The Coca-Cola Company’s responses to soda taxes shows. Since 2012, state and municipal governments in the United States, and in other countries, have considered and implemented taxes on sodas and sugar-sweetened drinks to address the growing obesity epidemic. Such taxes are often called “sin taxes” because they are assessed against products deemed to have a harmful effect in order to decrease consumption of the products. The goal of the sugar taxes (or soda taxes, because the tax applies mainly to soft drinks with sugar) is to discourage consumption and encourage manufacturers to modify their products. In addition, governments have focused on taxing sodas and sugary drinks because the revenue generated by soda taxes can fund public health programs or raise much-needed general revenue for communities.1 The American Heart Association recommends a daily maximum intake of 25 grams of sugar for adult women and 36 grams for adult men. Compare this against a 20-ounce bottle of regular Coca- * Margaret Sherman is Clinical Associate Professor of Legal Studies, and Harold Weston is Clinical Associate Professor of Risk Management and Insurance, at Georgia State University, J.
