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. Mission If you are embarking on a New Year's resolution I encourage you to The Mattatuck Museum browse the pages of this brochure to find opportunities for yoga and is a center of art and tai chi in our galleries (p. 14); studio classes to start or rekindle your history, a gathering place passion for art-making (p. 19); art talks to engage your intellectual side that nurtures creativity (p. 15); or meet-ups, bus trips and after-hours events to bring a little and learning through transformative experiences adventure to your day (pp. 17-18).

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.

Therefore, I am using this plat- form to address some issues that have come to my attention. Since the cost for out-of-town memberships to our Senior Center went up in January 2020, there have been a few miscon- ceptions that have come to my attention. First and foremost, the one rumor that I would definitely like to address is the story going around that the Prospect Town Council raised the dues of our out-of-town members because they are trying to “get rid” of the non-residents that come here. The story goes that the Town Council is trying to keep our Senior Center strictly for Prospect residents only. Nothing could be further from the truth. I value the out-of-town members who come here. I feel they have contributed significantly to the growth of our Senior Center. Many of these members run programs here and volun- teer in a number of different capacities. They are my lifeline and help me in ways that I could never repay them for. I and the Town Council members would never want to “get rid” of them. I will tell you point blank why the Town Council decided to raise membership dues for out- of-town members.

  • What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs
    What in the World Wednesday #5? Wray Museum Young Historians Fancy Eggs #2000.395.16 Collection of 25 handcrafted “Boutique” Egg Dioramas The month of May is national egg month and what better way to celebrate the egg then with a miniature diorama. Thelma Maureen (Funk) Schmidt enjoyed crafting even though she suffered greatly from crippling arthritis. She made bread dough dolls, and sewed doll clothing. At the Wray Museum we have a collection of 25 fancy egg dioramas. Each charming miniature is planned and hand-built with incredible attention to detail. By using all types of traditional and some not so traditional crafting supplies, she created a variety of scenes inside her eggs including Native Americans, covered wagons, farm homesteads, gardens, and holidays. She won many grand champions and best of show ribbons at the local and Colorado State Fairs. Her collection of eggs was donated by Frances Smith. Eggery the Art of Egg-Crafting The humble eggshell, which in most homes ends up in the garbage can, is the basic working material of a devoted and enthusiastic group of crafts people. Using a variety of craft techniques, these egg-crafters, egg artists, or eggers, transform ordinary eggshells into charming ornaments. The outside (and sometimes, the inside) of the shell is decorated with tiny jewels or beads, by decoupage techniques, by gilding or etching, and even by embroidering. Although they are most often used purely for decoration, they can also be functional items such as jewelry boxes, fancy pendants, brooches, toothpick holders and tiny vases. Many egg-crafters use their decorated eggs as tree ornaments, table toppers, or give them as gifts.

  • Jane Peterson Bio.Pages
    Jane Peterson Biography Jennie Christine Peterson - Class of 1901 (1876 - 8/14/1965) - born in Elgin, Illinois, officially changed her name to Jane in 1909 following her first major American exhibition at the St. Botolph Club in Boston. As a child, she attended public school, but with her family’s support and encouragement, Peterson eventually applied and was accepted at the prestigious Pratt Institute in New York. While there, she studied under Arthur Wesley Dow. Peterson’s mother, proud of her daughter’s talent, and keen for her to succeed as an artist, provided her with $300 toward enrollment at the institute—a significant investment at the time for the family. After graduation in 1901, Peterson went on to study oil and watercolor painting at the Art Students League in New York City with Frank DuMond. By 1912, Peterson was teaching watercolor at the Art Students League and eventually became the Drawing Supervisor of the Brooklyn Public Schools. Like many young people, especially artists, Peterson extended her artistic education by taking the traditional grand tour of Europe. For the rest of her life she would frequently return to travel on the continent. The grand European tour was one of the best ways for young artists to view specific works of art and to learn from the masters. Peterson studied with Frank Brangwyn in Venice and London, Joaquin Sorolla in Madrid, and Jacques Blanche and Andre L’Hote in Paris. Under their direction she gained a diverse and expert knowledge of painting techniques and composition. Studying in Paris, Peterson also became friends with Gertrude and Leo Stein, becoming a regular at the sibling’s various gatherings where the guests included Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.

Women Artists in the Collection This special exhibition of the permanent collection focuses exclusively on the contributions of American women artists. The fact of women's historical exclusion from the art world is part of the exploration, "Why have there been no great women artists?"-art historian Linda Nochlin famously asked in a 1971 essay. Her findings pointed to the past exclusion of women from working with male nude models, hence apprenticeships, then professions and academies, to which we add commercial gallery exhibitions, art criticism, and art history. Over the centuries this vicious cycle has shaped the current phenomenon: the predominance of male artists in museum collections . The expression" better half" historically referred to a wife or lover, acknowledging the significance of the
