A 1967 fire that destroyed some of his work accounts for only a small part of the novel’s fate; the rest is revealed in the thousands of pages he left behind after his death in 1994, many of them collected for the first time in the recently published Three Days Before the Shooting . Ralph Ellison in Progress is the first book to survey the expansive geography of Ellison’s unfinished novel while re-imaging the more familiar, but often misunderstood, territory of Invisible Man. It works from the premise that understanding Ellison’s process of composi- tion imparts important truths not only about the author himself but about race, writing, and American identity. Drawing on thousands of pages of Ellison’s journals, typescripts, computer drafts, and hand- written notes, many never before studied, Adam Bradley argues for a shift in scholarly emphasis that moves a greater share of the weight of Ellison’s literary legacy to the last forty years of his life and to the novel he left forever in progress.

Heinz Endowment, established in 1986. It is the product of a deep family commitment to community and the common good that began with H. J. Heinz, and which continues to this day. The Endowments is based in Pittsburgh, where we use our region as a laboratory for the development of solutions to challenges that are national in scope. Although the majority of our giving is concentrated within southwestern Pennsylvania, we work wherever necessary, including statewide and nationally, to fulfill our mission. That is to help our region thrive as a whole community— economically, ecologically, educationally and culturally— while advancing the state of knowledge and practice in the fields in which we work. Our fields of emphasis include philanthropy in general and the disciplines represented by our five grant-making programs: Arts & Culture; Children, Youth & Families; Education; Environment; and Innovation Economy. In life, Howard Heinz and Vira I. Heinz set high expectations for their philanthropy. Today, the Endowments is committed to doing the same. Our charge is to be diligent, thoughtful and creative in continually working to set new standards of philanthropic excellence. Recognizing that none of our work would be possible without a sound financial base, we also are committed to preserving and enhancing the Endowments’ assets through prudent investment management.

On view from July 18 through October 11, 2010, at The Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition examines paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints made by the artist between his return to Paris from Morocco in 1913 to his departure for Nice in 1917. Over these five years, he developed his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic works: paintings that are abstracted, often purged of descriptive detail, geometrically composed, and dominated by blacks and grays. Comprising nearly 110 of the artist’s works, Matisse: Radical Invention, 1913–1917 is the first exhibition devoted to this period, thoroughly exploring Matisse’s working processes and the revolutionary experimentation of what he called his “methods of modern construction.” Organized by The Museum of Modern Art and The Art Institute of Chicago, the exhibition is curated by John Elderfield, Chief Curator Emeritus of Painting and Sculpture at The Museum of Modern Art, and Stephanie D’Alessandro, Gary C.

  • Friends of Art NEWSLETTER Winter 2010
    Friends of Art NEWSLETTER Winter 2010 Collectors Group Workshop Betsy Stirratt and Nan Brewer discuss issues in buying student and faculty artwork Approximately thirty people joined the conversation with SoFA Gallery director Betsy Stirratt and IU Art Museum curator Nan Brewer as they discussed many questions and issues surrounding the pur- chase of student and faculty artwork. The SoFA Gallery provided an appropriate background, hung with a semester-opening exhibit of MFA student work. Stirratt spoke of a generalized increase in interest and sale of student work from her gallery over the years. Although the SoFA Gallery does not have a long-term (or exclusive) relationship with its exhibitors and takes a smaller percentage of sales than a commercial gallery, 2009 was the best year ever for the gallery in terms of sales. This is an important part of their op- erating budget. Stirratt said that although the students produce work at a very difficult and demanding point in their careers, buyers may find it rewarding to cultivate a relationship, and students would almost certainly appreciate the interest of a studio visit. In the context of an upcoming Triennial Faculty group exhibit, Nan Brewer circulated a price list for faculty pieces, and discussed the relationship artists must maintain with their galleries, assisted by comments from Chicago gallery owner Thomas Robertello who was attending. Should a buyer haggle over prices? (Not at student shows, please.) What guides a buyer’s decisions? Will the student pieces ever be worth as much as later work? How does one track the progress of a stu- dent’s career? The audience brought up many important issues of relevance.

Abstract Henri Matisse was one of the great pioneers of modern European painting. His body of work from 1913-17 has been referred to as his most experimental and innovative due to his use of a subdued palette that included the use of black, and a varied working technique comprised of complicated layering due to compositional revisions (D‟Alessandro & Elderfield 2010). Two of his paintings from the Fogg Museum‟s Wertheim Collection, Geraniums, 1915 and Still-Life with Apples, 1916, were subject to a technical analysis in order to understand the materials, development, and structure of these significant works and to determine whether or not they displayed the characteristics of the 1913-17 period. With the aid of Infrared reflectography (IRR), Infrared digital photography (IRDP), and X-radiography it was concluded that Geraniums had slight variations from its contour underdrawing while Still-Life with Apples had significant compositional revisions.

  • Henri Matisse a RETROSPECTIVE
    Henri Matisse A RETROSPECTIVE SEPTEMBER 24, 1992 -JANUARY 12, 1993 MAJOR MATISSE RETROSPECTIVE OPENS AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART The most comprehensive exhibition ever held of the work of the French master Henri Matisse (1869-1954) opens at The Museum of Modern Art on September 24, 1992. Organized by John Elderfield, director of the Department of Drawings and curator in the Department of Painting and Sculpture, with the assistance of Beatrice Kernan, associate curator, Department of Drawings, HENRI MATISSE: A RETROSPECTIVE comprises more than 400 works which together reveal the exceptional range and depth of the artist's work. The exhibition offers the opportunity for a reassessment of both Matisse's career and the critical role his work plays in the history of twentieth-century art. Matisse is fully revealed not only as a painter of scenes of primal beauty, but as one whose art rests on a foundation of extraordinary visual intelligence and rigorous discipline. The exhibition, which remains on view through January 12, 1993, is sponsored by Philip Morris Companies Inc.
