  • Annual Statewide Juried Exhibition
    th ANNUAL STATEWIDE 50 JURIED EXHIBITION HONOLULU MUSEUM OF ART SCHOOL OCTOBER 25 - NOVEMBER 10, 2017 THE ANNUAL EXHIBIT, 1967-2017 HAWAII CRAFTSMEN 1ST ANNUAL EXHIBITION, OCTOBER 12-21, 1967, ALA MOANA CENTER LANAI EXHIBIT AREA In 1987, Frances Pickens wrote “Hawaii Craftsmen is a generation of artists enduring over time.” During the previous two decades, the schism between art and craft had offered little opportunity for craft-based artists in Hawaii to exhibit their work. Consequently, in October 1967 a small group of designer-craftsmen, who “felt the need to exhibit their one-of-a-kind pieces in an aesthetic environ- ment as art objects,” organized the Hawaii Craftsmen Annual Exhibit at Ala Moana Center’s Lanai Exhibit Area. The exhibition became the first juried show of its kind in Hawaii. It has since evolved into the state’s foremost juried show of two and three dimensional arts created in clay, metal, fiber, wood, glass, stone, and mixed media. Born out of a desire to encourage the development of fine crafts in Hawaii, the annual exhibit has brought forward works of the highest quality of craftsmanship and artistic excellence. Each year’s ENDURING OVER TIME exhibition presents the state’s most prominent fine craft artists, while also providing emerging artists with the necessary stepping stones toward professionalism and artistic exposure. Since 1967, the Ha- waii Craftsmen Board of Directors has invited leading artists, curators, and art critics from across the US to jury the annual exhibit, thus ensuring the continued growth and excellence of the state’s craft artists while also helping to advance the prominence of fine crafts within the broader art community.

  • Research Resources at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Amelia A
    From La Farge to Paik Research Resources at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Amelia A. Goerlitz A wealth of materials related to artistic interchange between the United States and Asia await scholarly attention at the Smithsonian Institution.1 The Smithsonian American Art Museum in particular owns a remarkable number of artworks that speak to the continuous exchange between East and West. Many of these demonstrate U.S. fascination with Asia and its cultures: prints and paintings of America’s Chinatowns; late-nineteenth- century examples of Orientalism and Japonisme; Asian decorative arts and artifacts donated by an American collector; works by Anglo artists who trav- eled to Asia and India to depict their landscapes and peoples or to study traditional printmaking techniques; and post-war paintings that engage with Asian spirituality and calligraphic traditions. The museum also owns hundreds of works by artists of Asian descent, some well known, but many whose careers are just now being rediscovered. This essay offers a selected overview of related objects in the collection. West Looks East American artists have long looked eastward—not only to Europe but also to Asia and India—for subject matter and aesthetic inspiration. They did not al- ways have to look far. In fact, the earliest of such works in the American Art Mu- seum’s collection consider with curiosity, and sometimes animosity, the presence of Asians in the United States. An example is Winslow Homer’s engraving enti- tled The Chinese in New York—Scene in a Baxter Street Club-House, which was produced for Harper’s Weekly in 1874.

  • Generations: Works by Jun Kaneko & Toshiko Takaezu
    Generations: Works by Jun Kaneko & Toshiko Takaezu October 24 - December 6, 2008 According to Lamont Gallery Director Karen Burgess Smith, Generations: Works by Jun Kaneko & Toshiko Takaezu, featuring works by two ceramics icons, came about because of Fontaine. “Curtis contacted me during his junior year at Skidmore College to let me know that he was apprenticing with noted ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu, and that she was interested in showing here. She also hoped that her dear friend Jun Kaneko would include works in the Lamont Gallery as well. Needless to say, having works here by both of these extraordinary artists will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” says Smith. Known by many for his large, hand-built ceramic forms, Jun Kaneko was born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1942. He studied painting with Satoshi Ogawa during the day, and completed his high school requirements by attending night school. Kaneko first came to the United States in 1963 to continue his studies at the Chouinard Institute of Art in Los Angeles. He was influenced by the sculptural ceramics collected by Fred Marer, and studied with Peter Voulkos, Paul Soldner and Jerry Rothman in what is now called the “contemporary ceramics movement.” During the following decade, Kaneko taught at several leading art institutions, such as the Rhode Island School of Design and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield, MI. Since 1986, Kaneko has been based in Omaha, NE, and created his current studio there in 1990. During his artistic career, he has worked in several experimental studios around the world, and is regarded a highly prolific artist who works not only in ceramics, but bronze, glass, drawings and paintings as well.
