MARCH 2018 a Note from the Director on Behalf of Our Board and Staff, Greetings and Happy New Year!

JANUARY – MARCH 2018 A Note From the Director On behalf of our Board and Staff, Greetings and Happy New Year!

As the new year begins I’m pleased to share that 2017 was a productive and inspired year filled with exciting shows, programs and special events culminating with the beautiful exhibition of works by Jane Peterson (p. 7). Thanks to “Jane” the Mattatuck Museum name will be traveling nationally to three venues in 2018. The exhibition of works by this trailblazing artist has garnered great media attention, as well as a tremendous response from our members and visitors. If you have not yet seen the show I urge you to visit before it closes on January 28th.

2017 was a year of change, as we said goodbye to several colleagues and welcomed some new members to our staff. If you see new faces in the galleries please introduce yourself—we love to meet members of The MATT family.

This winter you can look forward to another spectacular exhibition lineup. Works by renowned rock & roll photographer Jim Marshall will be on view in Peace: Love, Rock and Revolution (p. 10). We Brass Button 2017 also welcome artists Claudia DeMonte and Ed McGowin for Mixed Marriage (p. 10), a witty exhibition that explores the work of these two provocative artists coming together to affect social change through the visual arts.

MATTATUCK MUSEUM OCT-DEC 2017 3 Curator's Corner Visitors sometimes ask me what a curator’s job is. My answer often depends on the day, but generally art curators have five major duties: safeguard art objects, connect to art history, display art, interpret and teach, and select new works for the collection. I had the opportunity to pursue all five of these objectives while organizing the large-scale retrospective exhibition, Jane Peterson: At Home and Abroad—the result of a two-year-long research and writing project which opened at the Mattatuck on November 19, 2017.

Celebrated during her lifetime for vibrant paintings, Peterson was a vital link between American Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. A serendipitous Peterson “find” brought her art to the attention of the Mattatuck's director, Bob Burns. An appreciation of Peterson’s art initiated a project to organize a retrospective of her work. Contacts with colleagues in other institutions assured us of the project’s timeliness. Communications with collectors confirmed the appreciation viewers had for her art and the Museum was determined to present a survey of Peterson’s art and tell her life story. The exhibition and the essays in its accompanying catalogue explore the woman and her oeuvre at home Jane Peterson and abroad. Over the next year, this exhibition of more than eighty Opening Reception paintings travels to the Long Island Museum, Columbia Museum of Art and The Hyde Collection. Collections Committee Pam Baker Working with the Collections Committee we added two Peterson Bob Burns (Ex officio) paintings to the collection. Other significant acquisitions included a Jeff Cooley Jason Gagnon stunning Guy Pene du Bois painting of a young woman, a lithograph David Kleeman by Thomas Hart Benton and Robert Rauschenberg’s important and Angie Matthis autobiographical Ruminations series. Charles Monagan (Chair) Ben Ortiz Additionally, a very significant gift from Francis T. Vincent, Jr. Fred Thaler (Fay Vincent) has strengthened our historical/archive collection: a complete set of Presidential signatures—nearly all written while the Presidents were in office—from George Washington to George W. Bush..

Sharing information about our collections and exhibitions is a pleasurable part of my job. Don’t hesitate to ask about them when next we meet.
