Winslow Homer and England FACT SHEET Media Contact: Amanda Peterson, 414-224-3246 [email protected] Coming Away: Winslow Homer and England FACT SHEET Exhibition Title: Coming Away: Winslow Homer and England ​ ​ Date: March 1 – May 20, 2018 ​ For more information: mam.org/sea ​ Number of works in exhibition: 71 Number of works by Winslow Homer: 50 Exhibition highlights: ● Born in 1836 in Boston, Massachusetts, Winslow Homer is one of the most beloved American painters of the nineteenth century. This exhibition shows how the work of European masters ​ influenced Homer and his depictions of the American landscape, leading to the evolution of his style and subject matter. ● Water has always inspired artists as at once breathtakingly beautiful and terrifyingly powerful. Homer’s paintings of the Atlantic coast from both Cullercoats and Maine connect to a larger tradition of artists’ attempts to capture the ever-changing nature of water. ● An eighteen-month sojourn to England in the small fishing village of Cullercoats from March 1881 through November 1882 changed Homer’s subject matter, technique and perspective on the world and shaped the rest of his career. Cullercoats and its inhabitants symbolized a rugged authenticity that allowed Homer to expand his interest in rustic themes and nurture his growing fascination with the sea. ● Co-presentation with Worcester Art Museum; Co-curated by and Brandon Ruud, Abert Family Curator of American Art at the Milwaukee Art Museum and Elizabeth Athens, exhibition co-curator, Worcester Art Museum, presently at the National Gallery of Art. ● Homer captures working class life on water in his art; unique opportunity for Milwaukee Art Museum visitors to see his works about water at a museum located on a large body of water. ● While at Worcester, The Wall Street Journal called Coming Away, “a splendid, ​ ​ ​ thought-provoking exhibition.” (Lance Esplund, "Winslow Homer's Transforming Odyssey" ​ November 13, 2017) Types of mediums featured in exhibition and descriptions: Paintings, watercolors, drawings and photographs by Homer and his contemporaries The time period covered by this exhibition: From 1840-1909 Winslow Homer’s work before his trip to Cullercoats Croquet Players, 1865 Oil on canvas 24 5/8 × 35 in.

Sun-drenched canvases of men and women at recreation such as these reveal Homer’s early interest in the new French method of loose brushwork and simplified color.

Murphy, Mrs. Joan Palevsky, Richard E. Sherwood, Maynard J. Toll and Hal B. Wallis TL2018.HOM.5.1 Homer achieved fame as an artist for his initial reportage—and then paintings—of the Civil War, deeply touching and sensitive portrayals of camaraderie and loss, and the lives of African Americans under the horrors of slavery. Homer returned to Virginia in 1875, ten years after the close of the Civil War, to document African American life in the south under Reconstruction. When Homer exhibited the painting in New York in 1877, critics erroneously placed the figures in South Carolina and referred to them as slaves, placing the context of the painting in the past. The subject appealed to an English cotton merchant, who instantly bought it, took it to England, and submitted it to the Royal Academy for exhibition. Homer’s debut at this prominent English exhibition venue, as well as critical assessment of it as a history painting rather than a contemporary scene, likely informed his decision to seek new artistic grounds. Song of the Lark, 1876 Oil on canvas 38 5/8 × 24 1/4 in. (98.11 × 61.6 cm) framed: 51 1/8 × 36 7/8 × 5 in. ​ (129.86 × 93.66 × 12.7 cm) Chrysler Museum of Art, Gift of Walter P.

ISSN: 1949-9833 JHNA 7:2 (Summer 2015) 1 COLLECTING OLD MASTERS FOR NEW YORK: HENRY GURDON MARQUAND AND THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART Esmée Quodbach The subject of this article is the collector Henry Gurdon Marquand (1819–1902), banker and railroad financier, and a noted member of the burgeoning class of newly prosperous business magnates of Gilded Age New York. An exception- ally civic-minded patron, Marquand set out in the early 1880s to assemble a group of first-class Old Master paintings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This paper explores Marquand’s acquisitions, especially the Flemish and Dutch paintings he bought. Focusing on Marquand’s 1889 gift of thirty-seven Old Masters to the museum—the first gift of its kind—this paper also considers Marquand’s aspirations, not only as a major private collector but especially as a leading donor to the institution, whose second president he became in 1889.

The $125-million-dollar project, designed by architect Santiago Calatrava, became an icon for the museum and the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin even before its completion. This report presents a case study of the project. Background information regarding the architectural context for the addition will be provided, as well as a synopsis of the architect’s mastery of structural design. A number of unique elements of the building will be discussed in detail. In addition, the building’s complex structural design will be reviewed through component and system evaluation, diagrams, and simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Milwaukee Art Museum The Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM) traces its beginnings to two institutions, the Layton Art Gallery, established in 1888, and the Milwaukee Art Institute, which was established in 1918. In 1957 the groups joined together, forming the private, nonprofit Milwaukee Art Center, now known as the Milwaukee Art Museum. At this time, the Center moved to its present location on the Milwaukee waterfront Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, known for his St.

With the aid of Mrs. Kent, and the support of a generous donor, the Bowdoin College Museum of Art was able to obtain a representative collec- tion of the work of the late Rockwell Kent, consisting of six paintings and eighty-two drawings and watercolors. This collection, in addition to the John Sloan collection and the Winslow Homer collection already established here, will provide both the general public and researchers the opportunity to see and study in great detail certain important aspects of American art in the early twentieth century. Our appreciation is also extended to Mr. Richard Larcada of the Larcada Galleries, New York City, for his help during all phases of selection and acquisition. R.V.W.

They range over a wide variety of style and technique, from finished paintings and watercolors to sketches and notations intended for use in the studio. As such, they provide an insight, otherwise unavailable, into the artist's creative processes and methods.

  • Gabriele Münter Photographer of America 1898-1900
    GABRIELE MÜNTER PHOTOGRAPHER OF AMERICA 1898-1900 by Lionel Gossman (Department of French and Italian, Princeton University, emeritus) 1 A Limited Reputation in the U.S. One of the founding members in 1911 of the much admired avant-garde artists’ group known as “Der Blaue Reiter” [The Blue Rider], Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) is much less well known in the U.S. or Great Britain than in her native Germany, where her work has been shown in private galleries since 1909 and well over 50 exhibitions have been devoted to it in major public galleries, the latest being scheduled to open at the Lenbachhaus in Munich on October 31, 2017 and to run for five months. The first showing of Münter’s work in the U.S., in contrast, did not take place until 1955, at the private Curt Valentin gallery in New York. Four other shows in private galleries in New York and Los Angeles followed in the 1960s.1 It was 1980 before the first exhibition of Münter’s paintings and drawings in a public gallery -- curated by the art historian Anne Mochon -- opened at Harvard University’s Busch- Reisinger Museum. This exhibition was also seen at the Princeton University Art Museum the following year. In the late 1990s a retrospective exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum -- this one curated by Reinhold Heller-- traveled to Columbus, Ohio, Richmond, Virginia, and the McNay Museum in San Antonio, Texas (1997-98), and in 2005 Shulamith Behr and Annegret Hoberg curated an exhibition at the Courtauld Institute in London, about which the critic of the Independent on Sunday newspaper wrote: “This small jewel- like exhibition is in its quiet, unobtrusive way one of the best shows in London.”2 The impact of these relatively rare displays of Münter’s art seems to have been not very considerable.
