Webb III, Esq., Chair It is my true pleasure to write to you as the Thomas L. Stokes, Jr., Vice Chair new Director of the Chrysler Museum of Lelia Graham Webb, Secretary Art. I feel fortunate to have been selected Yvonne T. Allmond for this duty after an extended search, and I Dudley B. Anderson, M.D., F.A.C.P. Tony Atwater, Ph.D. recognize the responsibility that comes with leading an institution of this Shirley C. Baldwin stature. With the staff and Trustees and volunteers and friends, I intend Carolyn K. Barry to make this great Museum even better. We aspire to be a leader among Kathleen Broderick America’s art museums. To that end, I am holding an extended series Deborah H. Butler of discussions: first with our Board of Trustees and staff, and then with Robert W. Carter Susan R. Colpitts community leaders, Members, and visitors. The information I gather from Elizabeth P. Fraim these discussions will become part of our planning process as we set goals Edith G. Grandy for the Chrysler for the coming years. James A. Hixon Marc Jacobson Of course, we are starting from an enviable position with a world-class Linda H. Kaufman collection, a strong history of careful fiscal management, and an outstanding Pamela C. Kloeppel group of people. The building has never looked better (or functioned better) Harry T. Lester than it does today. We are free to all the people of our community. We have Oriana M. McKinnon Peter M. Meredith, Jr. a growing endowment in an improving economy. The leaders of our region Richard D. Roberts recognize the value of the Chrysler as an economic generator and as a key C. Arthur Rutter III component of a full civic life. All of these factors suggest that the future will Bob Sasser be bright for the Museum. We know, however, that there will be challenges Lisa B. Smith Richard Waitzer and uncertainties that will affect all museums, so we will chart a course Joseph T. Waldo with clear goals that are true to our ideals—and with confidence that we are Wayne F. Wilbanks prepared to meet those challenges. CHRYSLER MAGAZINE The questions that I have been asking are open-ended. There are no wrong Brian Wells, Director of Development and answers. I want to learn what people really think about the Chrysler Communications Cheryl Little, Editor/Publications Manager Museum of Art.

This series of four paintings, created between 1839 and 1840, remains one of the greatest achievements in the history of American art. Now these monumental canvases—Childhood, Youth, Manhood, and Old Age—are at the Chrysler Museum for a stunning celebration of nature, imagination, and spirit. The Voyage of Life is on loan, along with related studies and early prints, from the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, Museum of Art, in Utica, N.Y. Cole re-painted the popular series in 1842, and the second version now hangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His original formulation, however, has left Utica only twice since its purchase by the Munson-Williams-Proctor in 1955. This historic third tour includes museums in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Memphis, in addition to the Chrysler. “We’ve placed these extraordinary paintings right in the heart of our American galleries so that they can be in conversation with our own remarkable collection,” says Alex Mann, Brock Curator of American Art. “Visitors follow the same art historical timeline, from John Singleton Copley to Winslow Homer, with a grand surprise in between.

The Chrysler’s own Cole painting, The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds (1833–34), is a perfect example of his skill at storytelling within a beautiful, imaginary landscape. Cole, a lifelong Episcopalian, hoped that such religious subjects would inspire and educate his viewers. “I am not a mere leaf painter,” he wrote in his diary in 1838. “I have higher conceptions.” In The Voyage of Life, Cole tackled an even more complex subject, summarizing the ups and downs of human existence in four grand scenes. “Cole saw this series as a poem,” Mann explains. “He dabbled in poetry writing, but art was his real genius. Think of his light and shadows as adjectives, shapes as rhymes, color as punctuation. That’s how Cole understood these elements, and that’s why it took him almost two The Hudson River and Beyond years to make—no, to invent—this series.” Thomas Cole (1801–1848) is one of founding fathers An Assembly of Angels of American art, best remembered for inventing the Both The Angel Appearing to the Shepherds and The Hudson River School of landscape painting.

Abstract 2 Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the development of glass as an expressive medium in China through direct contact with Western methods of making, decoration and forming glass. The investigation proceeds through an analysis of the parallels between glass objects produced from Kangxi (1662-1722) to Qianlong period (1736-96), and contemporary practitioners’ (2000-2009), which is complemented by my own practice. The investigation mainly looks at three aspects and their inter-relationship within these strands. They are: 1) the history of glassmaking from 1696 to 1795 in the Qing dynasty with Western influences; 2) the analysis of Contemporary Chinese studio/academic glass within the imported UK model; 3) the development of my personal glass practice within this matrix.

  • A NEW TECHNIQUE in GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL a Thesis Su
    PRECISION AIR ENTRAPMENT THROUGH APPLIED DIGITAL AND KILN TECHNOLOGIES: A NEW TECHNIQUE IN GLASS ART JOANNE MITCHELL A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell PhD 2015 1 Precision Air Entrapment through Applied Digital and Kiln Technologies: A New Technique in Glass Art Joanne Mitchell 2015 Abstract The motivation for the research was to expand on the creative possibilities of air bubbles in glass, through the application of digital and kiln technologies to formulate and control complex air entrapment, for new configurations in glass art. In comparison to glassblowing, air entrapment in kiln forming glass practice is under-developed and undocumented. This investigation has devised new, replicable techniques to position and manipulate air in kiln-formed glass, termed collectively as Kiln-controlled Precision Air Entrapment. As a result of the inquiry, complex assemblages of text and figurative imagery have been produced that allow the articulation of expressive ideas using air voids, which were not previously possible. The research establishes several new innovations for air-entrapment in glass, as well as forming a technical hypotheses and a practice-based methodology. The research focuses primarily on float glass and the application of CNC abrasive waterjet cutting technology; incorporating computer aided design and fabrication alongside more conventional glass-forming methods. The 3-axis CNC abrasive waterjet cutting process offers accuracy of cut and complexity of form and scale, across a flat plane of sheet glass.
