MAY 11–SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 DIRECTOR’S CORNER

In the depths of this year’s winter, the glowing colors and peaceful atmosphere of the Figge’s Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition provided an oasis of warmth. “It makes me feel better just to go in there,” one visitor told me. “Doctors should be able to send people to the Figge just for their health!” Her comments are not far-fetched, as research increasingly shows that cultural activities have a positive influence on overall health. Doctors in Montreal can prescribe a visit to the Museum of Fine Arts for their patients and their caregivers as part of a new test program. “There’s more and more scientific proof that art therapy is good for your physical health,” VIEWS FROM THE FIGGE says Dr. Helene Boyer, head of a Montreal medicine group that is part of the study. “It’s good SUMMER 2019 • Issue 36 for patients with diabetes, for patients in palliative care, for people with chronic illness.” Published four times a year at no charge for Here at home, our partnership with Living Proof Exhibit allows patients undergoing chemo- members, friends and people interested in the therapy in local infusion centers to tour the museum with the help of our robot, Genie, assisted museum.

MAY 11-SEPTEMBER 1, 2019 • KATZ GALLERY

ince late 2017, Figge visitors have had the chance to experience two of the most impactful and engaging sculptures in the museum’s collection, Vanessa German’s oh but for the healing of the blues, 2016, and we are the animals are us, 2017. German’s “power figures,” as she refers to them, stood sentinelS alongside works by some of the most important women artists of the 20th and early 21st centuries: Louise Nevelson, Grace Hartigan, Helen Lundeberg and Deborah Butterfield. This May, visitors will have an opportunity to see these sculptures incorporated into a new and exciting multimedia installation, Vanessa German: Miracles and Glory Abound. Like the artists Robert Colescott and Roger Shimomura, German remakes Emmanuel Leutze’s iconic, though factually incorrect, painting, Washington Crossing the Delaware, 1851, into an inspiring work that gives agency to peoples often found in the margins of history books.

Poet, performer, citizen artist and activist, Vanessa German is the 2018 recipient of the prestigious Crystal Bridges Museum biennial Don Tyson Prize for outstanding achievement in American Art. German also is the founder of ARThouse, a safe place for community engagement and art making located in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh, a place that lies at the heart of her art practice. German’s works can be found in private and public collections across the nation, including the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Conn.; Crystal Bridges Museum, Bentonville, Ark.; The Flint Institute of Arts, Flint, Mich.; and the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland. The artist was featured in the PBS series State of the Art, which premiered in April.

Photography is central to the image construction, but Muniz also integrates physical materials into the final artwork. Fusing reality and representation, he may layer ripped paper over a photograph of ripped paper or adhere rope to an image of an object bound with rope. “It always goes both ways,” Muniz says. “What you expect to be a photo isn’t, and what you expect to be an object is a photographic image.” A closed-circuit gallery interactive will allow visitors to try their hand at making a large mosaic image.

The subjects of Richmond's photographs are careful arrangements of found objects combined with taxidermy animals or mounts from the collections of St. Ambrose University and the Nature Center at Nahant Marsh. Utilizing characteristics of the three art historical movements, Richmond blends the objects, animals and influences into story-filled images. Starting from the premise that, to view wildlife, it must be frozen in a pose, his works invite the viewer to discover the stories embedded in each.
