The success of the Dixon is dependent on the support of our Membership. The Dixon is 100% privately funded—we do not request or receive one cent of your local, state or federal tax dollars. So, it is your participation as a Dixon Member that makes all the good things we do possible—from international exhibitions, to education and outreach programs, to every seed we plant in the gardens. It is a very simple equation: you + Dixon = success. Below are seven easy ways that you can make a difference.

seVen easy Ways to support tHe dIXon talk about the dixon; tell someone how special we are. You would be amazed by what a little conversation can stimulate. Dixon members are the best ambassadors.

Bring someone to the dixon. In the last five years, we have tripled our attendance figures, but we must continue to grow our audience.

Volunteer. There are lots of ways to help out at the Dixon. To learn more about our docent corps, call Margarita Sandino at 901.312.1242. To help out in the gardens, call Dale Skaggs at 312.1249. Not sure what you want to do, but know you want to help? Call me at 312.1260.

Increase your membership support. We have added dozens of exhibitions, education programs, and special events to the Dixon calendar since 2007, yet our Membership fees have not gone up by one penny. We can keep it that way if, the next time you renew, you increase your Membership to the next level.

Give to the annual Fund. Important as it is, Membership only provides about 15% of our annual operating budget. To care for our facilities and gardens, to produce great shows, and to inspire children, adults, and seniors with our education programs, we need robust participation in our Annual Fund. make a contribution that will be matched. The Dixon has been awarded a matching grant from the Assisi Foundation, which will fund a much-needed Master Plan for the grounds and facilities. However, the only gifts eligible for the match are from donors who have not given to the Dixon in the last five years, and who have never been Members at above the $1000 level. Here’s a unique opportunity for you to make a difference. Send a check to the Dixon, write ‘Assisi matching grant’ on the subject line, and your dollar instantly has the value of two! establish a planned Gift. Please remember the Dixon in your estate planning. There are lots of ways to do this, from bequests to charitable gift annuities. But if you value the Dixon, help ensure that it will be here for generations to come. Call Susan Johnson at 312.1243 for more information.

Thank you, Kevin sharp Linda W. and S. Herbert Rhea Director

THIS PURCHASE HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY

Acquisition in memory of JOHN BUCHANAN JACQUES-ÉMILE BLANCHE French, 1861 - 1942 Portrait of Eugenia Huici Arguedas de Errázuriz, 1890 Pastel on canvas, 64 x 34 ¼ inches

John E. Buchanan, Jr. was director of the Dixon from 1986 through 1994, a period of great vitality at the museum. Since John's untimely passing in December 2011, the Dixon's curatorial staff has searched for an appropriate painting to acquire in his memory. We are pleased to announce that Jacques-Émile Blanche's stunning 1890 portrait of Eugenia Huici Arguedas de Errázuriz will serve as a continuing reminder of John Buchanan's leadership of the Dixon, his devotion to Memphis, and the many friendships he made while he was here. The work is on view now in the Dixon residence, and we think it perfectly expresses John's elegance, style, and appreciation of beauty.

Cosmopolitan painter Jacques-Émile Blanche was born in Paris to a well educated and highly literary family, and raised in the upscale suburb of Poissy. He was given a refined and wide-ranging education, and though he had considerable talents in music and letters, he pursued a career as an artist. He remained interested in his other pursuits, however, penning several novels and writing a great deal of art criticism. Always at the center of Paris’s literary and artistic milieu, Blanche also contributed two volumes of memoirs, Portraits of a Lifetime (1937) and More Portraits of a Lifetime (1938) that today are highly valued and referenced annals of life in Belle Époque Europe.

Blanche was a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon in the 1880s, and in 1884 he co-organized the first Salon des Indépendants at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris. He was in demand as a portraitist in England and France in the 1880s and 1890s, ranking alongside other cosmopolitan portraitists like John Singer Sargent in popularity. Like Sargent’s work, Blanche’s dashing portraits painted with nervous lines of subdued tonal colors belong very much to the period, and the range of his sitters forms a sort of “who’s who” of fin-de-siècle cultural figures.

Blanche’s portrait of Eugenia Huici Arguedas de Errázuriz (1860–1954) was executed in 1890, when the international beauty and patron of the arts was a young wife and mother, a wealthy and cultured Chilean expatriate living a relatively conventional life in Paris. She would become a muse of modernism, inspiring and supporting a host of artists, writers, composers, and designers including Jean Cocteau, Cecil Beaton, Sergei Diaghilev, Pablo Picasso, and Igor Stravinsky.

Blanche portrayed Eugenia Huici Arguedas de Errázuriz as elegant and modest, fashionable but tasteful, and strikingly attractive, depicted with simplicity and grace through an understated harmony of blues, grays, and shades of white. In addition to Blanche’s portrait, Eugenia would also be portrayed by Sargent, Giovanni Boldini, and Pablo Picasso among others.

Double Vision: Brin and Dale Baucum, A Retrospective in Clay July 29 - October 14 Organized by the Dixon Gallery and Gardens

Memphis potters Brin Armstrong Baucum and Dale Baucum met at the Memphis Art Academy (now the Memphis College of Art) over 40 years ago. As young artists starting out in the early 1970s, Brin focused on photography and Dale on refining his skills as a ceramicist. Though they initially pursued separate media, the Baucums quickly united over a shared love of creating works of art in clay. Over the ensuing four decades, Brin and Dale have worked to refine their individual approaches to the art of pottery, while at the same time forging a singular vision that is uniquely their own and that encapsulates their theories on art and life.

Double Vision celebrates the constantly-evolving work created by both Brin and Dale Baucum over the past four decades in Memphis, including both utilitarian and aesthetic pottery. From Brin’s evocative photography and Dale’s earliest rustic pots to their eventual embrace of avian and later botanical imagery, this exhibition highlights the Baucum’s creative spirit and their passionate dedication to their craft. Drawing from the artists’ own collection, as well as collections around the Mid-South and the United States, Double Vision features the most important and unique works these beloved Southern potters have created in their prolific careers.

Jonathan Green July 29 - October 14 Organized by the Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, Georgia

Born August 9, 1955 in Gardens Corner, a rural area along South Carolina’s southern coast, Jonathan Green has spent his life’s work illustrating the Gullah community’s way of life.

With a renewed appreciation for his heritage after time away, Green chose to create an art that honored the culture in which he was raised. He celebrates the everyday life of African-Americans in the South Carolina low country through energetic compositions, bold color combinations, and large patterned fabrics. His love of the human figure and the community is shown through graceful imagery of figures’ shared characteristics, emphasizing the harmonious, collective nature of the people in a thoroughly modernist aesthetic.

September 23 - December 2 Memphis sculptor and art educator Jim Buchman’s evocative, columnar sculptures at first glance stand as simultaneously austere and graceful reminders of ancient architecture and pottery. At the same time, their simplicity of form and technological construction are completely modern, looking to the future. All of Buchman’s works explore texture, shape, light, and shadow through the unique medium of cast concrete.

Buchman’s large-scale works will be installed outdoors around Garrott Court, with his smaller, more intimate creations on view in the Mallory/Wurtzburger Galleries.

Spotlight on the Permanent Collection

STANISLAS-HENRI ROUART French, 1833 – 1912 Woman Playing the Guitar, ca. 1885 - 90, Oil on canvas, Museum purchase, 1977.5 Henri Rouart and Edgar Degas were schoolmates in Paris and life-long friends. Degas chose a career in art and Rouart entered the military, eventually distinguishing himself as a lieutenant in the Franco-Prussian War. Degas served as a volunteer under Rouart’s command during the siege of Paris. After leaving the military, Rouart entered the field of industrial engineering, successfully pioneering new systems of refrigeration and amassing a fortune. He remained friends with Degas, who painted his friend on several occasions. Rouart became an avid collector of early European art, but he also assembled a large and impressive collection of works by his friends in the Impressionist circle, particularly those of his old classmate.

In addition to lending his financial support to the Impressionists, Rouart was also a talented painter who participated in seven of the eight Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886. Inspired mostly by his friend Degas, Rouart produced dazzling canvases in the Impressionist style, choosing subjects as diverse as pleasant country landscapes and intimate interior scenes of his family and friends, including Woman Playing the Guitar, a work of the late 1880s.

The painting is thought to be a portrait of Rouart’s daughter Hélène, and the setting, the engineer-cum-artist’s elegant home. Part of his famous art collection serves as the backdrop. In capturing his daughter enjoying a moment of artistic leisure, Rouart also seized the opportunity to depict the effects of natural light streaming in from a nearby window, a favored theme for the artist and a hallmark of Impressionist painting.

Cosmopolitans CELEBRATE THE GARDENS IN GOOD COMPANY The Cosmopolitans hosted a wonderful Garden to Table Dinner on June 15 on the East Lawn. It was a gorgeous dinner that was made possible because of the support of Co-Chairs Chantal and Jeff Johnson and Kathy Gale and Gil Uhlhorn.

Together they planned an evening in the gardens that accentuated the unique quality and tranquility of the Dixon. The Dixon is grateful to Café Society and Buster’s Liquors & Wines for providing amazing food and wine for this new event.

The Cosmopolitans are generously sponsored by

How Your Support Can Continue Your generous annual donations to the Dixon — membership, annual fund, memorials, and sponsorships — support exhibitions, education programs, outreach to thousands of children and adults, and endowment growth. But have you ever wondered how you can help these fine programs to continue long after your death?

Consider the amount of membership contribution that you make each year. By including the Dixon in your estate plan, you can continue that same support for years to come. For example, at a rate of 5% return, your $2,000 estate provision for the Dixon can duplicate your $100 annual contribution for many years. If you are a $250 Donor level member, you may consider making a $5,000 provision for the Dixon.

When added to the Dixon endowment, that $5,000 contribution, which can be a portion of your life insurance, annuity, or retirement funds, will generate approximately $250 in income each year.

Introducing....

New Circle Life Members It is with great pleasure that we congratulate and welcome our newest Circle Life members. All of these couples have been Dixon members for several years and have graciously embraced the opportunity to move to this high level of membership.

Their contributions to establish Circle Life memberships support the growth of the Dixon endowment.

We thank each of them for their generous contributions and for their commitment to the Dixon.

Mr. and Mrs. Steven M. Gilmore (Cindy) Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Johnson (Chantal) Mr. and Mrs. Michael E. Keeney (Anne) Doctors Susan and William (Bill) Warner For information about circle life membership, please call the Membership Office, 901-312-1243.

Your support through your estate plan can ensure that the fine programs that you have enjoyed will continue. Please consider making a future provision for the Dixon, which has been a part of your life and that of your family and friends.

There is no better gift to future generations than the promise of cultural enrichment.
