FROM THE DIRECTOR Summer is a great time to enjoy your CMA membership. Wander through the galleries and marvel at the creative genius on view, have a glass of wine and avocado toast on the Schokko patio, check out the music of the all-female band The Salty Caramels, and discover fun ways to interact with art in the new HOME exhibition in the JPMorgan Chase Center for Creativity. My “to do” list for summer at CMA is to see, shop and eat. See our vastly differing exhibitions. At Pizzuti Collection of CMA, Jim Hodges finds complex beauty in the fragile and fleeting, the mundane, and the timeless. At CMA, In a New Light: Alice Schille and the American Watercolor Movement is our tribute to Columbus native Alice Schille in honor of her 150th birthday. Greater Columbus features the talents of Central Ohio-based artists. RODIN: MUSES, SIRENS, LOVERS showcases works in bronze by Auguste Rodin, forefather of modern sculpture, with special emphasis on the role of women in the artist’s work.

Shop in the Museum Store. I accessorize often with the jewelry and scarves. There are also intriguing reads like the next Art Book Club selection, Oil and Marble by Stephanie Storey, a novel about Leonardo de Vinci and Michelangelo and Art after Stonewall, the catalogue from our exhibition of the same name. Art after Stonewall has been getting rave reviews and, recently, The New York Times named it one of the top ten queer coffee table books of the season. At Pizzuti Collection of CMA, a range of catalogues, including the recent WHEN ATTITUDES BECOME CHAIRS, promise inspiration and awe. If, like me, you need a baby gift for a neighbor or a wedding present for a friend, the Museum Store always has unique, creative gifts, wrapped for free on request.

RODIN: MUSES, SIRENS, LOVERS SELECTIONS FROM THE IRIS AND B. GERALD CANTOR COLLECTIONS 7.12.19 – 12.8.19 MEMBER MORNING 7.13.19
In the 1860s, when Auguste Rodin began making sculpture, art was deeply rooted in the past and depicted stories from religion, history, and myth. At the peak of his career in the 1890s, Rodin had transformed sculpture into something that elicited emotions and imaginations. His work told stories that were internal and conceptual, and that were open to interpretation. By the time Rodin died in 1917 he had, through prodigious talent and a remarkable volume of work, revolutionized sculpture. Today his work is a crucial link between traditional and modern art.
RODIN: MUSES, SIRENS, LOVERS explores the artist’s fascination with and representation of women. The exhibition showcases some 40 bronzes of women as models, love interests, art collectors and artistic inspiration. These works tell the story of the importance of Rodin’s sculpture to modern art and encapsulate the innovations that broke with centuries of tradition to forge a path to today. The exhibition also includes special loans from the Cantors and the Cantor Foundation, the Brooklyn Museum, the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, and the North Carolina Museum of Art.

A NEW LOOK AT OLD MASTERS: EUROPEAN PRINTS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION 5.18.19 – 1.5.20
A New Look at Old Masters: European Prints from The Permanent Collection is an exhibition of 25 newly conserved, re-matted, and re-framed prints by European Old Masters. Presented to complement Life in the Age of Rembrandt: Dutch Masterpieces from the Dordrecht Museum, the exhibition includes works produced during the Renaissance and Baroque periods (the 15th to 17th centuries). Discoveries, exploration, and technological achievements during these years led to the emergence of the modern world. Conservation of these prints was made possible by a grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project. “Bank of America believes in the power of the arts to help economies thrive, educate and enrich societies, and create greater cultural understanding,” said Jeneen Marziani, Ohio market president, Bank of America. “We’re proud of our partnership with the Columbus Museum of Art as part of our Bank of America Art Conservation Project.” CMA’s collection of prints by Old Masters includes works by many of the greatest European printmakers. These include Dürer, whose intricate woodcuts and engravings are composed of solid lines, the result of slow, deliberate printmaking techniques. Callot, Rembrandt, and Francisco de Goya were masters of etching, a later print process that more closely mimics the fluidity of drawing, which resulted in more subtle shading and a greater range of contrasts between light and dark. For a behind-the-scenes look at the restoration of these old master prints, including a video of conservation in

A MILE AND A HALF OF LINES: THE ART OF JAMES THURBER 8.24.19 – 3.15.20
Celebrating the 125th anniversary of James Thurber’s birth, A Mile and a Half of Lines showcases the drawings of James Thurber, Columbus’ native son and one of America’s best-known 20th-century writers. His depictions changed the nature of cartooning as he drew spontaneously with child-like abandon. The drawing often came first and then the caption. The exhibition will include his work for The New Yorker, his illustrations for his own and others’ books, ad campaigns, and children’s illustration. After a childhood accident in which he lost sight in one eye, the eyesight in his other eye deteriorated as well. The exhibition includes examples of this later work and the magnifying gadget that allowed him to continue working. Sections of the exhibition will include drawings depicting: Signs of the Times (prohibition, the Great Depression, and the Lost Generation); The Bestiary in Me (the animal kingdom); and Columbustown (including OSU football). Michael J. Rosen serves as guest curator and has also written a book that accompanies the exhibition. Rosen is a writer, illustrator, and an editor who has collaborated with the Thurber Estate and written about the works of James Thurber for almost forty years. He was the founding literary director of the Thurber House and has edited six volumes of Thurber’s work.

IN A NEW LIGHT: ALICE SCHILLE AND THE AMERICAN WATERCOLOR MOVEMENT THRU 9.29.19
Below is an excerpt from an essay in the exhibition catalogue, which is available in the Museum Store. The essay, A Many-Sided Genius. Alice Schille in Context, was written by Guest Curator Tara Keny, the Modern Women’s Fund curatorial assistant in the Department of Drawings and Prints at The Museum of
reviewed and praised by critics and artists across the United States and Europe. She was
hailed as “unfailingly unique”(i) by Edna Owings in The International Studio and named a
“many-sided genius”(ii) in the Fine Arts Journal. Existing scholarship on Schille,(iii) however, has
yet to explore this reception and the extent of her standing within the American art world at a time
when becoming an acknowledged professional artist was a particularly challenging path for
women. With the exception of the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s American Watercolor in the Age
of Homer and Sargent exhibition organized by Senior Curator of American Art Kathleen A.
Foster in 2017, from which the museum purchased its first Schille watercolor, the artist has been
largely absent from survey texts and exhibitions exploring the history of the medium(iv). Nevertheless,
Schille’s work and lifetime of success expand our understanding of the development of watercolor,
its relationship to the evolution of modernism in the United States, and the overlooked role that
women artists played in that history. A consideration of Schille’s frequent and positive reception in
the art and popular press, together with her relationship to her peers, reestablishes her as an
important artist of her time, deserving of inclusion in the narrative of twentieth century American art.

One of the most-celebrated American watercolorists of the twentieth century, Alice Schille was

Modern Art.
Known for her “versatility, beauty of conception and sparkling technique,”(v) Schille painted Impressionist subjects — beach and harbor scenes, landscapes, city marketplaces — in pure-wash watercolor using the fauve color palate she had observed in Paris. She was praised across the United States for her ability to infuse modern compositions with movement and light. Critics also pointed to her particular aptitude for capturing the nuances of childhood in her work: “One feels the potential mischief and fun, the tragedy of infancy, the innocence and directness that we associate with children, as well as the potential movement in each little body.”(vi) Her Breton watercolor Other Side of the Circus Wagon, presented Schille with a challenge that she embraced in an interview: “I love to paint children because they are so natural — and so difficult.”(vii) She used her talent for painting childhood imagery to advance the suffragette cause in 1915, when she submitted the painting Mother and Child to Macbeth Gallery in New York City for a fundraising exhibition dedicated to women’s right to vote. Many of the participating artists submitted paintings of children to emphasize that the suffrage movement would benefit of future generations and was thus a worthwhile concern for all families. Schille’s painting and involvement in the politics of this exhibition was noted by critics across New York.(viii)

It is a fundamental resource for understanding her timeline and the breadth of her oeuvre. See: William H. Gerdts, Alice Schille (New York: Hudson Hills Press, 2001). iv Text on Schille is in Foster, American Watercolor in the Age of Homer and Sargent (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2017), pp. 340-43. Select examples of post-1940 survey books and dissertations that do not include mention of Alice Schille: Sherman Lee, “A critical survey of American Watercolor Painting” (PhD diss., Case Western Reserve University, 1941); Theodore Stebbins American Master Drawings and Watercolors: A History of Works on Paper from Colonial Times to the Present (New York: Harper & Row, 1976), Christopher Finch, American Watercolors, (New York: Abbeville Press, 1986); Donelson F. Hoopes, American Watercolor Painting, (New York: Galahad Books, 1981). There was a brief resurgence in the 1980s. In 1986, Schille was included in the exhibition The Advent of American Modernism: Post-Impressionism and North American Art, 1900–1918, organized by Peter Morrin of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia with the collaboration of William Agee and Judith Zilczer. Eleanor Tufts included a work by Schille in the National Museum of Women Artists 1987 exhibition American Women Artists 1830–1930.

Chief curator David Stark discusses RODIN: MUSES, SIRENS, LOVERS. The work of Auguste Rodin, France’s great turn-of-thecentury sculptor, is often compared to Impressionism with its rough surfaces and sense of spontaneity and movement but Rodin’s themes differed from the Impressionists’. The women who modeled for Rodin, sometimes depicted in more traditional portraits, were often cast as goddesses, Biblical, or literary figures. Stark’s talk explores the controversies sparked by Rodin’s art, and ways in which it both honored and challenged tradition. Cost of this program is $20 for nonmembers (includes general admission) and $5 for members. To buy tickets, please visit columbusmuseum.org, Events & Programs.

CENTER FOR ART AND SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT What could social engagement look like in an art museum? How could an art museum experience provoke new ways of thinking and connecting with one another around a complex issue? These are some of the questions that shaped our Center for Art and Social Engagement (CASE). CASE is designed to foster nuanced conversation and engagement around topics relevant to our lives. Each year, CASE will explore a different theme through a gallery installation, public programs, and artist collaborations. The big idea of our current installation is that isolation and alienation impact all of us, in ways that are personal, social, and political. CMA is eager to see how visitors will connect to their own lived experiences, consider the stories of others, and connect. So far visitors are engaging in the gallery in a wide range of ways. • We’ve seen families play round after round of checkers – games being a simple way to bond with others and combat loneliness. • We’ve heard friends’ observations of a painting evolve into a discussion of the difference between solitude that leaves us feeling recharged and loneliness that makes us feel trapped. • We’ve seen friends look one another in the eye and share something they value about the other person, and finish with an emotional embrace.

CMA’s Center for Art and Social Engagement is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

There are many ways to engage in CASE. There is room for laughter, silent pondering, disagreement, and tearful hugs. We hope you’ll visit CASE in Gallery 3 of the Elizabeth M. and Richard M. Ross Building and see what kind of engagement it sparks for you.

NEW COMMISSION
CMA recently commissioned Columbus native Percy King to create four portraits of Columbus artists in the museum’s collection: Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson, William Hawkins, Elijah Pierce, and Kojo Kamau. King’s portraits will represent distinctive, contemporary interpretations of these celebrated Columbus artists. King, a former OSU and Kansas City Chiefs football player, combined his furniture-making skills with his childhood love of drawing to create what he calls the Shaolin Wood Technique. King begins by making drawings from photographs of his subjects, digitalizing them and then working with them to create simplified, abstract shapes. Using scroll, jigsaw, and table saws, he cuts the shapes from plywood and Masonite and layers them to form three-dimensional reliefs. In most cases, these “built” portraits reflect the unpainted colors of the material. King began using the process to depict stars of rap music. Throughout his football career, rap provided background music for training and encouragement for winning games. His portraits of Jay Z, Pac, Lauryn Hill and others, elevate these musical icons in much the same way Kehinde Wiley honors ordinary African Americans by placing them in Old Master settings. He named his process “Shaolin Wood Technique” in homage to the rap group Wu Tang Clan’s album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin and the 2011 martial arts film, Shaolin. Shaolin is a type of martial arts practiced by Buddhist monks beginning in China in the 6th century. In addition to hip hop stars, King has depicted political figures such as Barack Obama and

poet Langston Hughes, whose portrait was exhibited at CMA during our EXPY winning exhibition I, Too, Sing America: The Harlem Renaissance at 100 (October 19, 2018–January 20, 2019). King’s portrait of Aminah Robinson is on view in the Elizabeth M. and Richard M. Ross Building through August 18, 2019.
