Great Lakes Painting The Inlander Collection through 6.16.13 Contemporary & Dow Galleries Defined geographically, the artists in this exhibition were active in the states surrounding the Great Lakes during the first half of the 20th century. These paintings evoke a warm and abiding sense of place and time. Land, water, industry, cities, and rural and urban life in this region of the United States are all common subjects in the Inlander collection. The paintings form a compelling visual record of a distinctive regional culture sustaining and celebrating itself through an era of great cultural growth and change. The majority of works in the collection are at the FIA on permanent loan from the Isabel Foundation, and the remaining portion were donated by Michael Hall and Patricia Glascock, the collectors who assembled the outstanding group of regional paintings.

The AAA recruited top American artists such as Thomas Hart Benton, Peggy Bacon, Grant Wood, and Benny Andrews, and promoted and distributed their prints at prices marketed to middle-class families. This organization was successful both in the United States and abroad and played an important role in promoting American art in the early 20th century through the postwar era.

The American Scene as an Artist Collaborative This lecture will discuss American Scene painting as a creative enterprise that intrigued and challenged artists all across the United States throughout the first half of the 20th century. Over a period of almost five decades, the regionalists of the American Scene painted the landscapes, cityscapes, people, political issues, and local communities they knew best. In an emerging industrial age obsessed with uniqueness and originality, the art of the American Scene was an important (and necessary) counterpoint to the evolving modernist art movement. Mr. Hall will introduce Michael D. Hall the Horseman Collection as an evolving collage in which an Guest Lecturer array of American Scene paintings celebrate art and life in a dense matrix of time, place, belief, and history. Michael Hall is an artist, educator, author, and curator. He completed his B.A. at the University of North Carolina and earned his M.F.A. degree in sculpture at the University of Washington. Mr. Hall lives in Hamtramck, Michigan, with his artist wife, Pat Glascock. Retired from teaching, he now divides his time between his sculpture studio and the Columbus (Ohio) Museum of Art where he serves as Adjunct Curator of American Folk Art. 9 EXHIBITIONS Science in Motion The Photographic Studies of Eadweard Muybridge, Berenice Abbott, & Harold Edgerton

Civitas U.S., 2004, by Jacek Jerzy Kolasinski Polish-born Kolasinski’s multimedia installations are rooted in his experience of living in the “Old World” of Europe and the “New World” of the U.S. Civitas is a small-scale representation of a medieval AUGUST town destroyed by fire, which serves as a parable describing the contemporary devaluation of social institutions such as family and religion. 11 COLLECTIONS featured acquisition Niccolò Vicentino Niccolò Vicentino was an Italian woodcutter and printer active during the Renaissance. He is known in particular for his chiaroscuro woodcuts, such as Christ Healing the Lepers (created ca. 1530–40; printed later), an excellent example of this technique. Chiaroscuro woodcuts can be made with just two blocks, but Vicentino used more than two, which required careful planning of color separations and meticulous registration in the printing. The Italian word chiaroscuro refers to contrasts of light and dark, which can be seen throughout this work. This design is based after a work by the Italian Mannerist painter Parmigianino (1503–1540), whose work is characterized by elongation of form. The signature (two superimposed “A”s and the words “in mantoua 1608”) on the bottom right of the woodcut is that of Italian printmaker Andrea Andreani (active in Mantua). Andreani acquired Niccolò Vicentino many of Vicentino’s original blocks, reprinting them in 1608; Italian, ca. 1503–ca.1540/50 Christ Healing the Lepers he would often insert his own signature after effacing that of Chiaroscuro woodcut on the real engraver. paper, printed 1608 11.75 x 16.375 inches This engraving depicts the New Testament miracle of Museum purchase with funds Christ healing the lepers (Luke 17:11–19). The story goes from the Jill Ford Murray Irrevocable Trust in memory that while on his way to Jerusalem, Christ was met by of her parents, Carlotta Espy ten lepers, saying “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” He Ford and George Ross Ford, Jr., and her grandparents, told them to go to the priests, and as they went they were Grace Miller Ford and George healed. Only one, a Samaritan, turned back and praised Ross Ford, 2012.31 God, giving thanks to Jesus. The exact moment depicted here is of Jesus telling the lepers to go the priests. You can see how the artist has indicated the contagious skin condition of leprosy on the bare arms of the figure kneeling with his back toward the viewer. Scholars believe that this work was created around the time of the plague that was ravaging Northern Italy in 1528.
