Kaye † Deceased Mission Statement The mission of the Cleveland Museum of Art is to fulfill its dual roles as one of the world’s most distinguished comprehensive art museums and as one of northeastern Ohio’s principal civic and cultural institu- tions. The museum, established in 1913 “for the benefit of all the people forever,” seeks to bring the pleasure and meaning of art to the broadest possible audience in accordance with the highest aes- thetic, intellectual, and professional standards. Toward this end the museum enhances, preserves, exhibits, and fosters understanding of the outstanding collections of world art it holds in trust for the public and presents complementary exhibitions and programs. The Cleveland Museum of Art embraces its leadership role in collecting, scholarship, education, and community service.

I was heartened that so many people rallied around this insti- tution and helped us continue our important work. As a result of that support, this was also a year of tremendous progress on many fronts. First, we are all indebted to Kate Sellers, who stepped in as acting direc- tor to lead us through the year while we searched for a new director. Kate had served with distinction as deputy director since March 1997, and as director of development and external affairs since January 1995. Her longtime role as Bob’s second-in-command enabled her to pursue his vision at this difficult time. We have her to thank for many successes during 1999. It was through the dedication and commitment of the board-appointed Search Committee that we were able to attract Katharine Lee Reid to serve as the sixth director of the Cleveland Museum of Art. Her appointment was an- nounced on January 4, 2000, but the work of the committee took place prima- rily in the summer and fall of 1999. I am grateful to James T. Bartlett for serv- ing as committee chair and for his thoughtful and sensitive leadership.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R.

Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.
