  • Coll Dev Policy 070917
    JEAN CHARLOT COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY Prepared by Bronwen Solyom, Curator Jean Charlot Collection September 2007 I. PROGRAM INFORMATION Jean Charlot (1898 Paris–1979 Honolulu) was an artist, teacher, scholar, critic, poet, playwright, and natural philosopher. His output of drawings, paintings, murals, prints, cartoons, books, articles, and other writings was prodigious. His life was full of significant connections within the intellectual and political milieu of the diverse communities where he lived in France, Mexico, New York, Colorado and Hawai‘i—with artists and writers, with educational and art institutions, with the Roman Catholic Church, with indigenous and working people. With his wife, Dorothy Zohmah Charlot (1909-2000), he nurtured students and friendships, maintained links lasting many years, and with his fine sense of history preserved many tangible records of his experience. He observed events and people precisely, and wrote frankly and succinctly, often wittily. His deep technical experience and long perspective of art ensure the currency of his art historical writing today. In accordance with his wish to make the records of his life and work available for research and education, the Jean Charlot Collection was donated by his heirs to the University of Hawai‘i in 1981 and opened in 1983. It is an outstanding collection of artist’s papers—the artworks and documentary materials that illuminate the study of an artist’s life, significant achievements and associations. Today it attracts students and researchers from all over the world. Items from the collection have been exhibited nationally and internationally. The initial substantial gift was a nucleus. With further significant donations from the estate of Zohmah Chalot, from family members, friends and Charlot scholars, as well as a small acquisition fund provided by the Library, it continues to grow.

It affirms who they are as young, bright and industrious Hawaiians, who share a rich and proud tradition made possible through the love and generosity of Ke Ali‘i Pauahi. This year’s Song Contest theme focuses on our pua, our lei – our Hawaiian youth. The words lei (garland) and pua (flower) can poetically refer to children. There are many ‘ōlelo no‘eau, poetical wise sayings, that reflect traditional Hawaiian perspectives of keiki. He keiki mea kupuna refers to a child who is coddled and the center of attention of his or her grandparents. He keiki aloha nā mea kanu draws a parallel between children and plants both of which need care, nourishment and a healthy environment in which to thrive.

  • Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor
    Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor German-born Otto Piene, a sculptor, painter, author and former director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT, is a leading figure in kinetic and technology-based art. His works are included in nearly two hundred museums and public collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Nationalgalerie Berlin; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo to name a few. He was commissioned to design the lights for the Senate and House Chamber in the newly designed Hawaii State Capitol. While the koa-lined House and Senate chambers of the Capitol were completed in 1969 the two chandeliers which are light sculptures called the Sun and Moon, had to wait until 1971 to be installed. The Senate’s Moon is a silver ball of 630 chambered nautilus shells, and the Sun is a gold-plated sphere with 132 smaller golden orbs in the House. Piene’s artwork evolved from “Light Ballet” in 1959 to helium-lifted sculptures as operatic characters. One of his “Sky Art” projects was the 1972 “Olympic Rainbow” for the closing ceremony of the Munich Olympic Games. Through his artwork, Piene urges us to develop and experience a world of full existence. He seeks to advance the physical, elemental and technological features of art, and not attempt to reduce it to a purely internal activity. He idealizes art as a fusion of science and imagination: “When sociology conflict was not an issue - in Egypt 5,000 years ago - art-science-technology and religion together created a magnificent world of art, belief and make believe al ‘environmental’.” 2 Art at the Capitol ~ A Celebration of the People's Art Art at the Capitol began in 2008 as Senator Brian Taniguchi’s initiative to welcome the public to view the variety of art that is displayed not just in the open areas of the State Capitol, but in the legislative offices as well.
