Volume 22, Number 33 Thursday, August 24, 2006 Dudley and the Dunes: A Good Show by Barbara Stodola

Frank Virgil Dudley is the most famous artist to have made a career of painting the Indiana dunes. To assure his place in history, the Brauer Museum at Valparaiso U. has mounted a major retrospective of his work and James R. Dabbert, Dudley scholar, has edited an accompanying book that will make its debut on Aug. 26, the date of the official opening. It is a beautiful show, one well worth traveling a distance, and we can be thank- ful to Valparaiso U. for bringing it so close to the region where Dudley spent 40 years of his life recording the many moods of the dunes. It is also a well-document- ed show, one which makes a strong point of Dudley’s political activism on behalf of saving the dunes from industrial and commercial exploitation.

Dudley Continued from Page 1 Politically active artists have come to occupy a large part of the art scene, and anyone familiar with the brutality and vulgarity that often surface during periods of rebellion will have to reflect on Dudley’s modus operandi. What he tried to capture was, simply, the beauty of the dunes. The gorgeous colors of storm clouds gathering over an isolated beach; the purple shadows lengthening as day draws to an end; wind-tossed jackpines and but- terfly weed, brightly colored beach umbrellas, the deep meandering trails, the first stars in the evening sky: the simple components of a beautiful scene, these comprised Dudley’s arsenal against the encroach- ment of the steel mills.

Dudley has long been a favorite of Richard Brauer, guest curator for this exhibition and founder of the museum which now bears his name Although visitors to the Brauer Museum have become accustomed to seeing Dudley dunescapes, what makes this exhibit different is that it is huge – 72 pieces altogether – and many of the paintings have been brought in from private owners and out-of-the-way collections, never previously seen by public audiences. One of the pieces loaned by a private collector is “Haycow” (1889). This is the first painting Dudley did after completing his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and returning to his home in Delavan, Wisconsin, where the Wisconsin School for the Deaf is located. Both of the artist’s parents were deaf, but he and his two younger brothers had normal hearing.

The Indiana Dunes Revealed: The Art of Frank V. Dudley The Dudley exhibit at the Brauer Museum of Art is being accompanied by a handsomely illustrated exhibition catalog, edited by former Michigan City resident James R. Dabbert. Nationally recognized as the foremost authority on Dudley, Dabbert has admired the artist’s work since his childhood, when the Michigan City Public Library had a Dudley painting in its collection. Dabbert, a professor of English at Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, graduated from Elston High School in 1962. Paintings from his own collection and those of his sister, Arlene Tarasick, have been loaned to this exhibition. “The Indiana Dunes Revealed: The Art of Frank V. Dudley (1868-1957)” is the first book-length monograph Frank Virgil Dudley, Sunday Afternoon – No Gas, 1944, private collection to be published about the artist’s work. In addition Chicago, Porter Memorial Hospital, Indiana Historical to the biography of Dudley written by Dabbert, the Society, public schools in Gary, Hammond and exhibition catalog includes essays by William H.

It does not imply a lack of talent, says Judith Racht, owner of Judith Racht Gallery in Harbert. “They march to the tune of their own drummer,” Racht said, attempting to explain the outsider artist. “Sometimes they’re crazy, and I don’t mean that unkindly. They’re producing things that speak to you in a way that is intelligent or emotional, or through humor – something that reaches out and grabs you and says, ‘This makes a difference.’” This is the 12th year Racht has organized and hosted the “Outsiders Outside” art fair at her gallery on Labor Day weekend. About 3,000 people now attend the annual event, which has expanded from 24 artist booths to 52 booths with a waiting list. The show has become so well-known that artists and attendees come from around the country.

Roger Hosbein is an outsider artist who helps others find their inner artist. “I thought I would be a great artist and have my work shown in the Art Institute of Chicago,” Hosbein said. “I realized the percentages were against me.” Instead, a friend recruited him to take over the art program at the Kenneth Young Center for community mental health in Elk Grove Village. He’s been there ever since, offering weekly mixed media art workshops to all clients who are interested. Usually, Hosbein says, a half dozen will find art to be an outlet for self- expression. “Some have a problem expressing themselves ver- bally, and art is nonverbal expression,” Hosbein said. “I’m their ‘seeing eye dog.’ I sit down next to them and do my art, as an example. They start doing what they want. My job is to lead them.” Judith Racht says the Outsider Outside event draws people Hosbein knows nothing about clients’ mental diag- from across the country. noses.

“Those who don’t do well fall by the wayside,” she said. “It (the art) has to be good.” Hosbein is an outsider artist who considers him- self an insider of the Outsiders Outside show. For the past four years, he has sold his watercolors and art work he selects from the weekly workshops, using prof- its to buy art supplies for clients. Most client work is unsigned to “keep a wall of anonymity” around those with disabilities.

He predicted that this year, the farmer’s prices will be high- er and those who bought his work last year will be pleased.

Certainly part of the allure of outsider art shows is the possibility of buying art from someone who becomes well-known. Racht says an artist whose star is rising is Dave Miller, who does intricate pen Roger Hosbein enjoys spotting and ink drawings of buildings. After showing at the the new artists 2004 Harbert art fair, Miller appeared at the 2005 out- at each show sider show in New York City and was described as “the whose work will be sought after. big discovery” in a New York Times article, Racht said.

The show starts with a Preview Party Friday, Sept. 1 from 6-9 p.m. EST. The $30 admission includes dinner by Café Gulistan, music by Patent Medicine and a full weekend show pass. Admission is $10 on Saturday, Sept. 2 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday, Sept. 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Judith Racht leaves the pricing of art to the artists, Children 12 and under are free. but will offer an opinion if asked. She says items in See related article Page 18 the Outsiders Outside show range from $10 to thousands of dollars. Racht just celebrated 20 years in the arts and antiques business. Her wealth of knowledge and experience helps her discern whether a piece was done by a true outsider artist or by an art school graduate trying to pass off work as outsider art. “It can’t look too commercial,” she says, trying to explain the real thing. “It has to look soulful.” Racht says the real outsider artists are people such as Jennifer Harrison, a homeless person from Canada who painted colorful images of people in front of houses. Or Lee Godie, whose self-portrait appears on promotional pieces for this year’s show. Racht says Godie was a homeless Chicagoan who thought of herself as Cinderella. She sold her drawings, often done on plastic window shades, outside of the Art Institute for $15 or $20 dollars. Godie died about five years ago, and her work now sells for $15,000 or Judith Racht is celebrating 20 years in the art business and the 12th more. Outsider Outside show at her Harbert gallery.

Exhibit Closing September 1 A reminder from the Snite Museum of Art notes that the exhibit of work by artist Jake Webster will close at the city’s Crossroads Gallery on Thurs., Sept. 1. Trained as a sculptor, painter, and collage artist, Mr. Webster has described the body of his works as “essentially sculpture.” Officials of the Crossroads Gallery, an extension of the Snite Museum on the campus of Notre Dame University, add that the exhibit has been augmented to include both paintings and collages. Webster studied in Greece, Italy, and France in 1974. He received his bachelor of science degree from Mississippi Valley State University in 1975, major- ing in art education. Earlier, in 1974, he had studied in France, Greece, and Italy. He continued his studies at the Purdue University Summer Institute, the Art Student’s League of New York, and DePaul University’s Office of Applied Innovations in Chicago.

A volunteer pours tea for Dr. & Greta La Fountain. Dr. Richard Houck, President of the Board of Directors of International Friendship Gardens, gave introductions and acknowledgements. He spoke of changes to the gardens and of the history. He mentioned that the brick wall is new this year, and that Executive Director Marti Pizzini would talk about that and recognize the volunteers. Marti Pizzini said that her job is to try to keep things at the gardens a little bit organized and that the volunteers working today and other days are most helpful. She said, “Maybe we have a guardian angel in the gardens. In fact, I’d like to recognize that person today. Jeanne Houck is a lady who had a vision and persistence for which I’d like to thank her. Quite a time back, while she was shopping at Andershock’s for flowers, she talked to a woman who was interested in the gardens and offered her talents to perform at Five Red Hatters: (l. to r.)

foodstuff by carolyn mcconnell Another Small Plates Story

Our small plates supper was recently held at Pat Latchfords’ table – delicious, as always. Along with the fine food, Pat created quite a surprise that evening. In our supper group – Pat, Eileen Henry and I – the one who is hostess invites two guests to her table. This time the guests were women who’d been friends way back in grade school and then separated for all the years since then. One of them, Betsy Starr Swan, recently moved into our condo neighborhood and that’s when Pat remembered the two had been young, young friends. And so she quietly invited the other, Debbie Armstrong, to be her 2nd guest. Arriving minutes apart, both Betsy and Debbie were astonished as they recognized each other. It certainly made for a bubbly evening, full of giggling and happy tears. While we were enjoying our small plates supper, the girls told us things like how, at age six, they’d formed a two-member Bobby Rydell fan club with dues of five cents per week. They also made a point of picking up acorns for Betsy’s dad, another 5- cent payment for an afternoon’s toil. Both their fathers, Tom Starr and Ted Thorne, were good at delegating and the girls were the worker bees, often with hysterical results. Yes, there were a number of enchanting remembrances that evening; all our sides Betsy Starr Swan and Debbie Armstrong, together for the first time in were aching from the non-stop laughter. But, alas, back years to food – which, of course, was outstanding, too. EILEEN’S CRAB MEAT HORS D’OEUVRE PAT’S 2ND ENTREE (also a big yum) 2 cans white crab meat (legs) Citrus-Dijon Chicken Skewers 2 large cream cheese 3/4 cup Grey Poupon honey Dijon mustard 2 T minced onion (dry) 1/4 cup orange marmalade salt & pepper 2 tsp dried thyme leaves Cream cheese until it is very soft, then mix in 1-1/4 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut cans of crab after draining almost all liquid. 350 lengthwise into 20 strips degrees 45 minutes. 20 wooden skewers (6"), soaked in water for at least 30 minutes Mix mustard, marmalade and thyme in large bowl.

Drain, discard marinade. Thread chicken on skewers, place on rack of broiler pan. Set aside 1/4 cup of the remaining mustard mixture to serve as a dipping sauce. Broil chicken 4" from heat 6 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, turning and brushing occasionally with the remaining mustard mixture. (Discard any of that mustard mixture used to brush onto the chicken.) Serve with the reserved 1/4 cup mustard mixture.

He points out that the Rockne years at Notre Dame coincided with the birth of radio in America. Rockne and his winning teams not only helped a fledgling radio industry, but also popularized college football and cemented Notre Dame as “America’s team.” Paul Gullifor is author of the book, The Fighting Irish on Air: The History of Notre Dame Football Broadcasting, published in 2001 by Diamond Communications. He is Associate Professor of Communications at Bradley University in Peoria, IL, where he teaches a variety of courses in electronic media.
