Something remarkable happened today at the Georgia Museum of Art. The hopes of several people (myself included) were realized when the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the Performing Arts Center, the Hugh Hodgson School of Music and the museum joined to present a program that fulfilled the missions of each. As part of the opening of the exhibition “Exuberance of Meaning: The Art Patronage of Catherine the Great (1762–1796),” for which Lamar Dodd School of Art associate director Asen Kirin served as curator, the School of Music and the Performing Arts Center worked with one another to present an afternoon of 18th-century music from the empress’ court. It is fitting that Bill Prokasy, who sits on our Board of Advisors and was once UGA’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, was in attendance at the concert, for it was he who believed that the “city on a hill” that is our Performing and Visual Arts Complex could serve as a model of collaboration in presenting the finest of the visual and performing arts to the community. On behalf of the audience lucky enough to hear the concert and Professor Kirin’s learned and engaging lecture, I thank all who were involved: Dr. Kirin; Betty Myrtle, chair of our Collectors group; George Foreman at the Performing Arts Center; Dale Monson of the School of Music and the performers; and the museum’s staff. It truly was a foretelling of a great future for us all and a fitting preview to this November’s second Spotlight on the Arts, spearheaded by another forwardlooking university administrator, Libby Morris, interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.

exhib Cercle et Carré and the International Spirit of Abstract Art October 12, 2013–January 5, 2014 This exhibition is the first major one devoted to the art and activities of Cercle et Carré (Circle and Square), the artistic group cofounded in 1929 by Pierre Daura (1896–1976), Joaquín Torres-García (1874–1949) and Michel Seuphor (1901–1999). Organized primarily around the works displayed in the group’s 1930 exhibition in Paris or featured in one of the three issues of the 1930 Cercle et Carré periodical, “Cercle et Carré and the International Spirit of Abstract Art” presents a dynamic assembly of abstract works of art not seen as a group and seldom discussed in relation to one another for more than 80 years. Complementing the primary-source materials in the Georgia Museum of Art’s Pierre Daura Center’s archives, this exhibition makes an important contribution to understanding international abstract art in the period between the wars and will be accompanied by a full-color exhibition catalogue.

The Material of Culture: Renaissance Medals and Textiles from the Ulrich A. Middeldorf Collection October 26, 2013–January 12, 2014
This exhibition presents an overview of Ulrich A. Middeldorf’s career as an art historian, teacher and curator. It features selected medals and textiles from his collection, on loan from the Indiana University Art Museum, as well as a dalmatic (priest’s robe) from the Detroit Institute of Arts. Contextual material provides insight into how these luxury artifacts were utilized in the Renaissance and the various ways in which they convey the desire for personal recognition, taste for public display and a sense of general pride and enjoyment so prevalent in 16th-century Italian urban society. The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue.

L’objet en mouvement: Early Abstract Film October 12, 2013–January 5, 2014
Presented in conjunction with “Cercle et Carré and the International Spirit of Abstract Art,” this exhibition comprises a selection of abstract films from the 1920s discussed by essayists in the third issue of Cercle et Carré’s journal. Members of Cercle et Carré identified these early films as initial steps toward achieving an entirely abstract cinema—a nonrepresentational mode of expression based purely on movement. Films include Fernand Léger’s “Le Ballet mécanique” (1924), Man Ray’s “EmakBakia” (1926) and Viking Eggeling’s “Symphonie diagonale.” Curator: Laura Valeri, associate curator of European art Gallery: Alonzo and Vallye Dudley Gallery Sponsors: The W.

Exuberance of Meaning: The Art Patronage of Catherine the Great (1762–1796) On view through January 5, 2014 “Exuberance of Meaning” features more than 60 works of art and books, most of which Catherine the Great commissioned for her own use or for the courtiers who received them as gifts. Other objects in the exhibition serve as examples of historic precedents for the empress’ choices or represent major currents in the history of Russian art of the 17th and 18th centuries. The exhibition presents a comparison of dazzling and masterful objects that exemplify both medieval Byzantine culture, of which Russia was the successor and guardian, and the Western, neoclassical style that was the hallmark of the Enlightenment. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue contribute to the current knowledge of patronage in 18th-century Russia and to an understanding of the role of Byzantine culture in Russia’s history up to the era of neoclassicism.

This bed that recently came into the collection is notable for its sculptural turning sequences and for having slats instead of ropes. The use of slats in beds appears to have begun in North America in Charleston, S.C. The cabinetmaker who made this bed was Caleb Shaw, a Massachusetts-born artisan who worked in Franklin County, Ga. in the mid-19th century. His work was first published in the landmark exhibition “Neat Pieces: The Plain-Style Furniture of 19th-Century Georgia” (1983; Atlanta History Center). Shaw made many similar beds for Travelers’ Rest, an inn near Toccoa. The owner of that inn was Devereaux Jarrett, and this particular bed descended directly in his family.

This gift of a dozen Gullah-Geechee baskets answers a long-felt need for greater representation of this unique art form from coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Coil baskets in an overtly West African style have been made in this area from the early 1700s. Included in this gift are baskets made by the Jefferson and Huger families. The museum already has a large basket made by a Georgia weaver.

The decorative arts collection at the Georgia Museum of Art continues to grow. A tripartite banquet table from Wilkes County, N.C., provides the opportunity to study an example of stylistically advanced reeded legged furniture made in eastern Georgia between 1820 and 1840. This remarkably well-preserved example was in the watershed exhibition “Furniture of the Georgia Piedmont Before 1830,” organized by Henry D. Green at the High Museum of

PERSONNEL Callan Steinmann was hired in September as the museum’s new associate curator of education. She replaces Melissa Rackley, who left the museum in July to join the teaching staff at Athens Academy. Steinmann is originally from Atlanta and studied studio art and psychology at the University of Georgia. She studied abroad at the PontAven School of Contemporary Art and the American University of Paris and received her master’s degree in art museum education at the University of Texas at Austin in May 2013. Steinmann previously interned in the Georgia Museum’s department of education, and her master’s thesis research focused on the museum’s 5th-grade tours. Most recently, she worked in public programs at the Blanton Museum of Art in Austin. Welcome, Callan! In addition to Rackley, the staff also had to say good-bye to Sage Rogers, events coordinator, who accepted a job as an academic advisor in the department of communication studies at UGA, and Mary Koon, editor, who will pursue freelance editorial work. We wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors!
