Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau Selections from the Dhawan Collection

September16–December 31, 2017

FROM THE DIRECTOR I offer you a hearty “Prost!” as fall approaches and we prepare for our annual Oktoberfest celebrations.

continues in the permanent collection as well, with the new Ancient Americas Galleries set to open this winter in the museum’s lower level.

Every year, more than 25,000 people take part in what has become downtown Dayton’s largest fall festival. Not only is it a time of great fun, but it’s also the museum’s largest annual fundraiser. Last year’s Oktoberfest raised a record net revenue of $461,400 to support museum operations. We hope to see all of you at this year’s festival, taking place September 22–24.

These are exciting times here at the museum, and you’re support is an important part of making The DAI available to all in our community. As the holiday season approaches, please consider an end-of-year gift to the museum’s Annual Fund, as well as giving the gift of membership to The DAI. Both are important sources of operating revenue for The Dayton Art Institute throughout the year.

If you haven’t seen the special exhibition Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence, you still have a few days left–it closes September 10. This beautiful, moving exhibition has garnered rave reviews, with guests calling it “dazzling,” “awesome” and “jaw dropping.”

Thank you for your continued support as members of The Dayton Art Institute. We look forward to seeing you this fall and over the upcoming holiday season!

Best Regards,

Just prior to Oktoberfest, we will open our eagerly anticipated fall exhibition, Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau, which will be on view from September 16 through December 31. Be sure to check out the feature in this issue and mark your calendars for the many related programs.

We also recently announced our upcoming 2018 special exhibitions, which include largescale contemporary origami, 20th-century portraiture by Yousuf Karsh, and the cutting-edge photography of Mickalene Thomas.

Alphonse Mucha: Master of Art Nouveau September16–December 31, 2017 Step back into the sumptuous fin-de-siècle era with The Dayton Art Institute’s eagerly anticipated fall exhibition, ALPHONSE MUCHA: MASTER OF ART NOUVEAU— Selections from the Dhawan Collection, on view from September 16 through December 31!

Influential in shaping the aesthetics of French Art Nouveau at the turn of the 20th century, Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) created varied, expressive and seductive works that became synonymous with the period. Much of Mucha’s illustrative work employs beautiful women to attract an audience—and to sell the products he was hired to promote. His images of these sexualized women challenged traditional codes during the rise of the “modern woman.” Additionally, this exhibition reveals Mucha’s willingness to experiment with style and process, examining the broad range of Mucha’s works, largely created during the 1890s, a time that emphasized creating a new art fit for the new century.

4

The exhibition presents 75 works, including rare, original lithographs, proofs and drawings, as well as books, posters, portfolios and ephemera, all drawn from the Dhawan Collection, one of the finest private collections of Mucha’s work in the United States. Curated by Gabriel Weisberg, Professor of Art History, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities and organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA, The Dayton Art Institute is the sole Midwest venue for this national tour.

For more about the exhibition, visit daytonartinstitute.org/mucha and look for the hashtag #MuchaDAI on social media.

2018 SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS ANNOUNCED

The new year promises to be an exciting one with The DAI’s recently announced lineup of 2018 special exhibitions!

The season begins with Above the Fold: New Expressions in Origami (February 17–May 13, 2018)! Demonstrating the extraordinary power and potential of origami, this exhibition showcases artists transforming paper into breathtaking sculptures and large-scale installations. These artworks express contemporary social, political, aesthetic, and cultural dialogues. Featuring nine international artists, they collectively push the boundaries of paper as a medium to create bold, provocative works.

Experience the splendid portraits of the icons and idols who helped define the “American Century” in Yousuf Karsh: American Portraits (June 23–September 16, 2018). With his distinctive style and a career spanning six decades,Yousuf Karsh (1908–2002) photographed many of the twentieth century’s most influential men and women, including Muhammad Ali, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and more.

The fall brings the highly-anticipated exhibitions Muse: Photographs by Mickalene Thomas and tête-à-tête (October 20, 2018–January 13, 2019). Thomas’s artwork draws equally from 1970s aesthetics and black-is-beautiful imagery; Édouard Manet’s odalisque figures; and the studio portraiture of James Van Der Zee and Malick Sidibé. These staged scenes and portraits assert new definitions of beauty and reflect a personal community of inspiration, including muses such as her mother and friends.

In addition to Muse, Mickalene Thomas has curated a selection of key works by other influential artists that will be on view simultaneously, including Renée Cox, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lyle Ashton Harris, Zanele Muholi, Malick Sidibé, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, among others.

FOCUS EXHBITIONS There is always something new to see at The DAI, including these in-house Focus Exhibitions.

They are FREE with the suggested general admission!

Devoted: Visual Performances of Faith Gallery 218, August 23, 2017–August 19, 2018 Devotion is a performance: the expression of reverence, love, and wonder from the devotee to the object of devotion. The use of visual art in religious practice is as old as faith itself, and traditions from around the world have made, and continue to make, paintings, sculpture, manuscripts, and many other objects that serve as vehicles for acting out one’s beliefs. They enact memory, recording sacred texts and depicting sacred stories, and serve as mediums for carrying out sacred rituals. This focus exhibition, pulled from the collection of The DAI, presents artworks from a variety of faith traditions in order to explore how visual objects perform devotion.

Acting Up Gallery 105, July 26, 2017–January 28, 2018 With the rise of kabuki theaters in the pleasure quarters of Japan as a popular form of mass entertainment, many woodblock prints depicted these theatrical scenes. Actors performed popular stories drawn from Japanese history as well as current events, including stories of swashbuckling samurai, melodramas of star-

Be sure to return for another visit after October 25, when a second set of prints will be on view.

GINNEVER SCULPTURE INSTALLED ON MUSEUM GROUNDS After 37 years on loan to The City of Dayton, the large-scale sculpture Movin’ Out for Jessie Owens (1980) by Charles Ginnever has come home to The DAI. Demonstrating Ginnever’s interest in forced illusory perspectives, Movin’ Out for Jessie Owens displays geometric forms that are both strong and open, with a sense of movement meant to be reviewed from multiple perspectives.

Originally sent to Dayton in several pieces and welded onsite at Dave Hall Plaza in downtown Dayton, the sculpture was relocated to the grounds of The DAI in early June. Prominently placed on the museum’s new walkway, visitors can inspect the sculptures from various vantage points as they walk from Riverview Avenue up to the museum’s entrance. The sculpture pays homage to four-time Olympic gold medalist Jessie Owens (1913–1980), who died the week the artwork was installed in Dayton. Charles Ginnever also briefly served as a teacher and resident artist at The Dayton Art Institute.

NOW ACCEPTING HOUK AWARD NOMINATIONS

PERFORMING ART IN THE LANGE FAMILY EXPERIENCENTER

On December 9, join us from 1–3 p.m. to celebrate new inspiration for the exhibition Performing Art in The Lange Family Experiencenter. Light drawing, Shakespeare’s plays, photographs and Japanese prints provide more visual sources to stimulate imagination, movement, acting, and music, as well as new art-making activities.

Artist Susan Byrnes, a 2018 Yeck Artist-inResidence, will install light drawings, using a light as a drawing tool recorded with an open camera shutter to capture physical movements. By incorporating digital animation techniques with video, Byrnes’ project will transform choreographed, improvisational and ordinary movement

of residency participants into dynamic, illuminated lines and shapes that move across the screen. If your school, classroom or community group would like to participate in this residency, please contact Christine Fleming, Museum Educator for School Programs, at cfleming@daytonart.org.

The art of contemporary dance has profoundly influenced Byrnes’ work as a visual artist. She has explored it through sculpture, installation, and photography.

Her recent still photographs are a collaboration with Megumi Edo, principal dancer for the Armitage Gone! Dance Company in New York. Byrnes earned an MFA in sculpture from Eastern Michigan University and a BFA in Photography from Syracuse University. She has participated in exhibitions in Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, and her work resides in several collections, including Dayton Metro Library branches.

Congratulations to the Dayton Metro Library on the opening of their beautiful new downtown Main Library on August 5! The new library features six spectacular new works of art that are part of Dayton Metro Library’s ReImagining Works partnership with The Dayton Art Institute:

The new library design is spacious, bright, and welcoming. Hundreds turned out to support the Grand Opening.

ReImagining Works is an ongoing partnership that commissions original artwork, inspired by The DAI’s collection for each of the Dayton Metro Library’s newly built or renovated branches.

Commissions were recently announced for the new Southeast Branch Library, and commissions for the Wilmington-Stroop Branch Library will be announced in early September. Additional artist opportunities will be available over the next two years.

LOCAL BEADERS DISCOVER SHARED CREATIVE COMMUNITY

Beadwork and the Art of Independence has allowed an opportunity for at least some of these women to experience the emotional intensity of their shared creative community.

to mirror and interpret the shared creative experience of their South African sisters.

Carole Ohl, who organized the Bead Stash event, expressed her feelings about the show by saying, “While touring the exhibition, I was surprised by how deeply moved I was by this work. As I viewed each panel I was aware of the amazing work of each individual artist, but at the same time, I could feel the community of these wonderful women in a way that was very familiar to me. It made me appreciate even more, the sweetness of the creative connection we share as creative women.”

Members of Dayton’s dedicated beading community recently visited the exhibition and were touched to discover how much they share with their sisters in Africa. All the things that make working with beads such a satisfying and stimulating experience for Ohio residents translate directly to the creative focus held by the group of bead artists from so far across the ocean.

ABOVE: Zondlile Zondo (born 1969), I am ill, I still see Color and Beauty: Jamludi The Red Cow, 2012 (detail), glass beads sewn onto fabric, 50 1/4 inches x 67 inches. The Ubuhle Private Collection.

On opposite sides of the earth, two groups of talented women work in distant parallel, creating beautiful expressions of traditional bead arts. The members of these two artistic communities do not know each other, but The DAI’s special exhibition Ubuhle Women:

As part of a special tour and dinner organized by exhibition sponsor Bead Stash LLC, beaders from the area were delighted and inspired by the spectacular beadwork of the female artists who live and work together in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Their exquisite beaded tapestries tell stories of the feminine African experience through bead techniques and color palettes that are familiar to their local counterparts.

After visiting the show, the beaders shared a meal and discussed how they had been moved by the work of the Ubuhle Women.

Many in attendance expressed an interest in experimenting with the creation of tapestries of their own—works that would allow them

Beaders in the Dayton area will have an opportunity to explore the bead embroidery techniques used in the Ubuhle pieces. Workshops are being planned at Bead Stash for those inspired by the work, to come and create their own smaller panels of beadwork.

“We have some very talented bead embroidery teachers in Dayton, and can’t wait to see where people take this project,” Carole said.

Those interested in more information about the upcoming workshops may contact Carole Ohl at 937-640-3017 or ourbeadstash@gmail.com.

CENTENNIAL PROFILE: DAYTON ARTIST PETER LOSH U.S. Government Weapons System Division, and the layout artist and later Art Director for prominent Dayton advertising firms. In 1968, he founded the Peter Losh Advertising Company; he accepted a position with the University of Dayton as Art Student Internship Director in 1993. Most recently he served as a watercolor and multi-media instructor.

Peter Losh shares memories of The DAI with Michael Roediger. We’ll post video of our conversation soon— check back for updates

As the museum begins the countdown to its 2019 centennial, we will be interviewing longtime friends of the museum to capture their memories of The DAI. In this issue, we speak with lifelong Dayton resident and artist Peter Losh.

Peter was born in Dayton in 1921 and attended the School of The Dayton Art Institute after serving in the Navy during World War II (including time on the U.S.S. Essex).

In his early career, he was a reporter for the Dayton Daily News, an illustrator for the

Although Peter says he is “semi-retired,” he still paints six days a week at his studio! He notes that the slight tremor in his 95-year-old hands disappears when he picks up his artist’s brush.

Over the summer, he took time to show Michael Roediger some of his work–including a watercolor of The DAI that he has given to the museum as a gift–and relate his memories of The DAI. Do you have an interesting story to share about The DAI? We’d love to hear from you!

Email the details to info@daytonart.org.
