  • Coll Dev Policy 070917
    JEAN CHARLOT COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY Prepared by Bronwen Solyom, Curator Jean Charlot Collection September 2007 I. PROGRAM INFORMATION Jean Charlot (1898 Paris–1979 Honolulu) was an artist, teacher, scholar, critic, poet, playwright, and natural philosopher. His output of drawings, paintings, murals, prints, cartoons, books, articles, and other writings was prodigious. His life was full of significant connections within the intellectual and political milieu of the diverse communities where he lived in France, Mexico, New York, Colorado and Hawai‘i—with artists and writers, with educational and art institutions, with the Roman Catholic Church, with indigenous and working people. With his wife, Dorothy Zohmah Charlot (1909-2000), he nurtured students and friendships, maintained links lasting many years, and with his fine sense of history preserved many tangible records of his experience. He observed events and people precisely, and wrote frankly and succinctly, often wittily. His deep technical experience and long perspective of art ensure the currency of his art historical writing today. In accordance with his wish to make the records of his life and work available for research and education, the Jean Charlot Collection was donated by his heirs to the University of Hawai‘i in 1981 and opened in 1983. It is an outstanding collection of artist’s papers—the artworks and documentary materials that illuminate the study of an artist’s life, significant achievements and associations. Today it attracts students and researchers from all over the world. Items from the collection have been exhibited nationally and internationally. The initial substantial gift was a nucleus. With further significant donations from the estate of Zohmah Chalot, from family members, friends and Charlot scholars, as well as a small acquisition fund provided by the Library, it continues to grow.

  • Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor
    Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor German-born Otto Piene, a sculptor, painter, author and former director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT, is a leading figure in kinetic and technology-based art. His works are included in nearly two hundred museums and public collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Nationalgalerie Berlin; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo to name a few. He was commissioned to design the lights for the Senate and House Chamber in the newly designed Hawaii State Capitol. While the koa-lined House and Senate chambers of the Capitol were completed in 1969 the two chandeliers which are light sculptures called the Sun and Moon, had to wait until 1971 to be installed. The Senate’s Moon is a silver ball of 630 chambered nautilus shells, and the Sun is a gold-plated sphere with 132 smaller golden orbs in the House. Piene’s artwork evolved from “Light Ballet” in 1959 to helium-lifted sculptures as operatic characters. One of his “Sky Art” projects was the 1972 “Olympic Rainbow” for the closing ceremony of the Munich Olympic Games. Through his artwork, Piene urges us to develop and experience a world of full existence. He seeks to advance the physical, elemental and technological features of art, and not attempt to reduce it to a purely internal activity. He idealizes art as a fusion of science and imagination: “When sociology conflict was not an issue - in Egypt 5,000 years ago - art-science-technology and religion together created a magnificent world of art, belief and make believe al ‘environmental’.” 2 Art at the Capitol ~ A Celebration of the People's Art Art at the Capitol began in 2008 as Senator Brian Taniguchi’s initiative to welcome the public to view the variety of art that is displayed not just in the open areas of the State Capitol, but in the legislative offices as well.

    Book Reviews Pamela Frierson. The Burning Island. A Journey Through Myth and History in Volcano Country, Hawai'i. Sierra Club Books, San Fran- cisco, 1991. xiii + 267 pp. Illustrated. Glossary. Index. $22.50 (cloth). After a lengthy Mainland sojourn, Island-born Pam Frierson came home to question her Western ethnicity, explore the Hawaiian view of volcanism, and deal with Big Island landscapes and local culture from the viewpoint of her own experiences. As her words flow to create images— . very weathered cones, moored like islands in the newer flows . the pumice-like rock was multi-colored: sulfurous yellow, oxides of purple and red. The trail was increasingly rugged. The air had a penetrating chill; our hands were cold and swollen from the change in blood pressure. fantastic forms of lava, rough-smooth like an elephant's skin, shiny glass, blasted cindery red, sculptured, thrown, spattered, spun, blown to bits. The temperature was dropping rapidly—warmth being sucked out into a vacuum, an emptiness of space, (pp. 22-5.) —the reader is carried along on the journey through myth, history, and modern scientific research on the active volcanoes of Kllauea and Mauna Loa. Frierson's vivid descriptions intersperse narratives of what others (early explorers and missionaries scientists, and Hawaiians of today) told of their own experiences with Hawai'i's volcanoes. She moves easily from mid-19th century geologist James Dwight Dana, to 20th century volcanologist Thomas Jaggar; from travel writer Lady Isabella Bird's visit in 1873, to thoroughly modern volcanologist Tina Neal's research in 1990; from missionaries Hiram Bingham and William Ellis in the early 1800s, to 1990s volcanologist Robert Decker and anti-geothermal activist Palikapu Dedman.

  • John Chin Young the Watumull Foundation Oral
    JOHN CHIN YOUNG THE WATUMULL FOUNDATION ORAL HISTORY PROJECT JOHN CHIN YOUNG (1909 - ) John Young, internationally known artist and art collector, was born in Honolulu and graduated from McKinley High School. A self-taught artist and art collector of international status, Mr. Young tells of his upbringing in a close-knit Chinese family and the influence of the Chinese culture on his work. He describes many influences resulting from his travels as both an artist and a collector. Mr. Young explains how these experiences, ranging from the Great Wall of China to the Lido in Venice, have contributed to the eclectic nature of his work. The diversified jobs that sustained him during his early years and his camouflage work during World War II are recalled. In spite of his extensive travels, Mr. Young has chosen to maintain his home in Hawaii because of his deep love for the Islands. © 1987 The Watumull Foundation, Oral History Project 2051 Young Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96826 All rights reserved.
