Grandma Moses and the Handicraft Tradition NOVEMBER 21, 2015 – FEBRUARY 21, 2016
FROM THE DIRECTOR It’s hard to believe we’re already heading into the last quarter of 2015! Fall is definitely in the air, and the holiday season will be here in no time. For The DAI, our annual Oktoberfest signals the beginning of fall. Set for the weekend of September 25-27, Oktoberfest brings our community together to celebrate art, friendships, and Dayton. It’s not only an enormously popular community event, but also the museum’s largest annual fundraiser, typically netting $350,000$400,000. The funds will assist with all of our general operating from art to education and facilities to staffing. We hope to see all of you at the 44th Oktoberfest; see page 6 in this issue for full event details. Fundraising takes many forms here at the museum, and another important one is planned giving. In this issue of the Member Magazine, longtime friend of the museum Linda Lombard shares why she and her late husband, John, decided to include The DAI in their estate plans. Every gift to the museum, whatever the form, will go a long way toward making certain The DAI will be here for years to come! As the end of the year approaches, please do also consider gifts to our Annual Fund. Contributions to the Annual Fund provide essential support for The Dayton Art Institute’s overall operation. For more information about these and other ways to support your DAI, I encourage you to visit: daytonartinstitute.org/support. Work continues related to the three studies I discussed here in the previous Member Magazine: a Planning Study to determine the best interpretation of our collection and galleries, as well as evaluate our programs to best engage
the community; a Feasibility Study to determine if the community will support a Capital and Endowment Campaign in celebration of our centennial; and a Space Study to determine how to best utilize nearly $2.2 million in State Capital Appropriations Bill funding for renovation projects at The DAI. Watch for more information about these exciting projects in 2016! Our summer special exhibitions, Call to Duty: World War Posters and Tears of Stone: World War I Remembered, Photographs by Jane Alden Stevens, continue through the first weekend of October. If you haven’t seen these exhibitions that pay tribute to the many sacrifices made during the World Wars, I encourage you to do so. Be sure to also make plans for our fall exhibition, American Sampler: Grandma Moses and the Handicraft Tradition, which opens November 21. Our “Year of American Art” concludes with what promises to be a beautiful exhibition, organized by our own stellar curatorial team, devoted to the both the handiwork and paintings of this beloved folk artist. Thank you for your continued support as members of The Dayton Art Institute. We look forward to seeing you at the museum throughout the coming months and during the holiday season. Best regards,

Art Changes Lives Live it
MASTERPIECE OF 19TH CENTURY FRENCH PAINTING ON LOAN TO THE DAYTON ART INSTITUTE GALLERY 218 FALL 2015 – SPRING 2016
On loan to The Dayton Art Institute this fall from the Cleveland Museum of Art is a painting by Paul Cézanne, one of the most influential artists in the history of 20th-century painting. Painted between 1888 and 1892, Cézanne’s The Pigeon Tower at Bellevue depicts a towering rock formation in the small town of Bellevue in southern France, where the artist’s brother-in-law lived. Cézanne exaggerated the rock’s shape, extending it vertically and to the left, creating a geometric focal point of interest in the composition.
ABOVE: Paul Cézanne (French, 1839–1906), The Pigeon Tower at Bellevue, 1890, oil on fabric, 25 13/16 x 32 1/16 inches. The James W. Corrigan Memorial, The Cleveland Museum of Art, 1936.19
Using this painting as a centerpiece, The Dayton Art Institute plans to organize two focus exhibitions: one in the fall of 2015 on the evolution of 19th century French landscape painting, featuring some of Cézanne’s near contemporaries, including Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Jean François Millet and Charles François Daubigny, among others; and a second exhibition in the spring on the modern evolution of landscape painting after Cézanne.
VISIONS AND DREAMS: THREADED WORKS BY MARY BORKOWSKI SOUTH GALLERY, LOWER LEVEL OCTOBER 17, 2015 – FEBRUARY 28, 2016 In conjunction with American Sampler: Grandma Moses and the Handicraft Tradition, The Dayton Art Institute will showcase examples of handiwork by nationally recognized folk artist Mary Borkowksi (1916–2008). Born in Sulphur Lick Springs, Ohio, Borkowski spent much of her life in Dayton and started quilting in 1930, later turning in 1965 to works created on silk, felt or velvet backgrounds with silk thread and yarn. She called this type of work “thread painting,” and these form her singular contribution to traditional fiber arts. Like Grandma Moses, Borkowski was untrained in the fine arts, and her resulting work presents a unique interior vision all her own. RIGHT: Mary Borkowski (American, 1916–2008), We are One, or Mother of Us All, 1991, fabric, thread, embroidery, quilting. Gift of the artist in memory of Helen Pinkney, 2002.39
SITES OF WORSHIP NORTH GALLERY, LOWER LEVEL NOVEMBER 27, 2015 – MARCH 13, 2016 Drawing from the works on paper collection of The Dayton Art Institute, Sites of Worship, presents depictions of churches, temples, mosques and other locations of prayer from around the world. Highlighting the context and architectural grandeur of these sites, the exhibition demonstrates commonalities among places of prayer. NEAR RIGHT: LeRoy D. Sauer (American, 1894– 1959), Small Town, c. 1930–1940, woodcut on paper. Gift of Mrs. Harry L.

Grandma Moses and the Handicraft Tradition NOVEMBER 21, 2015 – FEBRUARY 21, 2016
SPECIAL EXHIBITION GALLERIES NOVEMBER 21, 2015–FEBRUARY 21, 2016
Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860–1961), better known as Grandma Moses, was an accomplished seamstress who did not begin painting until she was 78, after arthritis made it difficult to embroider. In the remaining 23 years of her life, she became one of America’s most recognized and successful folk artists, drawing on the rich tradition of handiwork that played such
a major role in her life. Moses also “sampled” from a variety of other media, including popular culture prints such as Currier and Ives, as well as topographical and birds-eye-view landscapes, all of which served to inform her visual vocabulary. This exhibition is the first of its kind to explore the formal relationships between Moses’ painting with her handicraft and other types of handiwork, including early American quilts and samplers, as well as images from popular culture,
all in an effort to reveal the startling shared approach to her interest in pattern, form, and space that she employed to create her signature painting style. Featuring more than 45 paintings, embroideries, quilts, popular prints and a recreation of her studio by Luken Interiors, this exhibition is sure to be of interest to young and old, as The Dayton Art Institute’s final exhibition in its “Year of American Art.” For more information about American Sampler, visit daytonartinstitute.org/grandmamoses.

‘REIMAGINING WORKS’ PROJECT CONTINUES WITH DAYTON METRO LIBRARY The ReImagining Works partnership with Dayton Metro Library (DML) continues to grow and expand. It invites regional artists to submit proposals to DML to create original artwork inspired by existing works in The DAI’s permanent collection. Each new or newlyremodeled library location will house one or more commissioned pieces created specifically for that facility.

In 2014, artworks were selected for commission at the new Main Library, as well as the Electra C. Doren, Northwest and Miami Township branches. Commissions for the New Lebanon, Brookville, Kettering-Moraine and Vandalia branches were awarded earlier this year. As this issue of Member Magazine went to press, artist proposals were being accepted for the Miamisburg branch, with Robert Koepnick’s Huck Finn and Rockwell Kent’s Endless Energy for Limitless Living serving as inspiration. The first ReImagining Works project is now complete, with artwork by Darren Kall enhancing the new terrace at the recently renovated Electra C. Doren Branch Library in Old North Dayton. Kall drew inspiration from the painting Stacks in Celebration, by Charles Sheeler that is part of the museum’s permanent collection. Kall created six metal cutout panels incorporated into the terrace fence; each panel depicts a current or past neighborhood landmark. Many opportunities still remain for local artists to get involved in ReImagining Works, with seven additional projects to be announced over the next two years.

Bernstein’s Fine Catering, one of The Dayton Art Institute’s preferred catering partners, has been serving the Dayton region for 27 years. In 1988, Steve Bernstein opened the “Uptown Delicatessen” in Clayton, Ohio, a kosher style deli and restaurant that quickly gained a following. Bernstein had previously worked for The University of New Mexico food service, the University of Dayton’s food service and other companies within the hospitality industry. Soon after opening the “Uptown,” Bernstein hired Adam Baumgarten as a dish boy at the age of 15. Baumgarten worked his way into food prep and eventually management upon graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. In 2006, Baumgarten became a partner/co-owner in the business. In 2011, Bernstein’s Fine Catering closed the
restaurant to focus exclusively on catering and moved to a new location, with twice the kitchen and storage space. “Over the past three years we have had the pleasure of serving some of the museum’s rental clients as a preferred caterer,” says Baumgarten. “We are thrilled to now be a part of Leo Bistro at The Dayton Art Institute, as well as the diverse dining scene in and around Dayton. It is our goal to provide Leo’s clientele with delicious cuisine, bistro quality presentation, superior service and a complete museum experience.” Bernstein’s has introduced a new menu for Leo Bistro, including special features for Thursday evening dinner. Leo Bistro hours are Tuesday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., Saturday, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m., and Sunday, noon – 2 p.m. The Bistro is also open 4:30 – 8 p.m. on Thursday evenings.

STORIES OF PLANNED GIVING: LINDA LOMBARD
The impact of a museum like The DAI on the community is almost unmeasurable. We are so fortunate to have such a high-quality collection here in Dayton. Even more important, the museum has expanded its reach and provides art-making and educational experiences for people of all ages. It is welcoming and inclusive. It is for everyone. Strangely enough, with all of my husband John’s and my involvement with The DAI, we had not thought of a planned gift. We were redoing our estate plan, and our attorney asked if we wished to make any bequests. The light dawned.

I was brought up around art. I took watercolor lessons with my father when I was 10. Thus, art has always been important to me. I was really introduced to The Dayton Art Institute when I returned to Dayton in 1969. I had three girls, and we started by doing children’s art for Oktoberfest. I worked at the museum from 1976 until 1982, and thus was introduced to the complexity of running a museum and the importance of its impact on the community. I saw that art, in all its beauty and thought provoking challenge, does indeed change lives.
I would like people to know that planned gifts of any size are the stepping stones to the future wellbeing of any nonprofit. It is especially important for The DAI, which has been severely under endowed since its doors opened. People should realize that planned gifts come in all sizes and that each and every one is important. It does not have to be huge, and one doesn’t need to be a millionaire. Far from it. I want The DAI to have a bright future for generations to come. In a small way, I hope we helped. For more information about planned giving, please contact Ryan Pasco, Individual Giving Coordinator, at 937-512-0139 or at plannedgiving@daytonart.org.
