For Immediate Release: August 22, 2017 Media Contact: Andrea Foust Membership and Public Relations Manager Hallie Ford Museum Of For immediate release: August 22, 2017 Media contact: Andrea Foust Membership and Public Relations Manager Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University | 503-370-6867 Public contact: 503-370-6855 | [email protected] Exhibition website: http://willamette.edu/go/crows-shadow-25 Exhibition Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts Organized by the Hallie Ford Museum of Art in partnership with the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts (CSIA), a new exhibition chronicles the history of Crow’s Shadow over the past 25 years as it has emerged as a nationally recognized printmaking studio located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation near Pendleton, Oregon. "Crow's Shadow Institute of the Arts at 25" opens September 16 in the Melvin Henderson-Rubio Gallery and continues through December 22. The exhibition features 75 prints drawn from the Crow’s Shadow Print Archive and focuses on themes of landscape, abstraction, portraiture, word and images, and media and process. Included in the exhibition are works by 50 Native and non-Native artists who have worked at CSIA, including Rick Bartow, Pat Boas, Joe Feddersen, Edgar Heap of Birds, James Lavadour, Truman Lowe, Lillian Pitt, Wendy Red Star, Storm Tharp, and Marie Watt, among others. The CSIA was founded by Oregon painter and printmaker James Lavadour (Walla Walla), who envisioned a traditional arts studio focused on printmaking. Art historian Prudence Roberts says of Lavadour, "He wanted to contribute to the Tribes’ new sense of direction and self-sufficiency, and also to give emerging artists opportunities and a sense of community that had eluded him as he taught himself his craft." Today, CSIA is perhaps the only professional printmaking studio located on a reservation community in the United States. Since opening in 1992, it has emerged as one of the most important printmaking studios in the country, bringing together Native and non-Native artists from around the world to make prints under the guidance and direction of master printmaker Frank Janzen. Prints produced at Crow's Shadow can be found in some of the foremost public and private collections in the United States and have been included in exhibitions around the world. Events The exhibition will be accompanied by a wide range of events including several lectures, a panel discussion about CSIA, docent guided tours, an Evening for Educators, a Family Activity Day, and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art Fall Artist Lecture featuring Portland, Oregon, Native American artist Wendy Red Star. Publication In addition to the prints on display, a full-color hard cover book accompanies the exhibition with essays by Prudence Roberts on the history of Crow’s Shadow, and heather ahtone and Rebecca Dobkins on the history of indigenous printmaking in North America. The book retails for $34.95. Once the exhibition closes in Salem, Oregon, it will travel to the Whatcom Museum in Bellingham, Washington during the summer of 2018 and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University in Pullman that fall. Financial Support Financial support for the exhibition and book has been provided by a major grant from the Ford Family Foundation. Additional financial support was provided by a grant from the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation; by funds from an endowment gift from the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, through their Spirit Mountain Community Fund; and by general operating support grants from the City of Salem's Transient Occupancy Tax funds and the Oregon Arts Commission. .........................................................

  • Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery
    COLLECTION GUIDE Mark and Janeth Sponenburgh Gallery Hallie Ford Museum ofArt1 2 Across Continents, Through Time SELECTIONS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THE MARK AND JANETH SPONENBURGH Gallery’s installation, Across Continents, Through Time: Selections from the Permanent Collection, features a range of artworks from the Hallie Ford Museum of Art’s permanent collections of European, Asian, and American art. The collections span 4,500 years of Western and Eastern art history and encompass four continents: Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America. The collections have been assembled over the years to support the liberal arts curriculum of Willamette University and to introduce Hallie Ford Museum of Art visitors to some of the major themes and styles in the history of Western and Eastern art. Far from comprehensive or complete, the collections are instead made up of small, unassuming art treasures that are meant to be studied, savored, appreciated, and enjoyed. The first university art museum in the United States was founded at Yale University in 1832 by the Revolutionary War hero and American history painter John Trumbull. By the end of the nineteenth century, a number of colleges and universities had established art museums on their campuses, including Vassar College in 1864, Princeton University in 1882, Bowdoin College in 1894, and Harvard University in 1896, among others. From the very beginning, these institutions were founded to help support the liberal arts curriculums of their respective universities, to provide a vehicle for introducing their students to the history of art, and, in the words of Edward W. Forbes of Harvard University, to build collections that “tell the story of the artistic and imaginative possibilities of man .

  • Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935
    Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair René Bravmann Douglas Collins Program authorized to Offer Degree: Art History University of Washington Abstract Hidden in Plain Sight: Northwest Impressionism, 1910-1935 John E. Impert Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History Northwest Impressionist artists are among the forgotten figures in American art history. Responsible for bringing Modernism to Washington and Oregon, they dominated the art communities in Seattle and Portland from about 1910 to 1928, remaining influential until the mid 1930’s. After describing the artists briefly, this dissertation summarizes and evaluates the slim historiography of Northwest Impressionism. Impressionism and Tonalism are contrasted in order to situate these artists within the broad currents of American art history. Six important artists who have not been studied in the past are each accorded a chapter that summarizes their educations, careers, and artistic developments. In Seattle, Paul Gustin, the early leader of the Seattle art community, was most closely associated with images of Mount Rainier. Edgar Forkner, a well established Indiana artist, moved to Seattle and painted numerous canvases of old boats at rest and still lifes of flowers. Dorothy Dolph Jensen, a latecomer, emphasized shoreline and harbor scenes in her work. In Portland, Charles McKim traded complete anonymity in Portland, Maine for the leadership of the Oregon art community, creating a variety of landscapes and seascapes. Clyde Keller produced an enormous output of landscapes over a long career that extended to California as well as Oregon.
