FROM THE DIRECTOR
From the Director
F
or the staff of an institution that is temporarily closed to the public, we sure are busy at the Georgia Museum of Art. Here is a quick glimpse at the news from this quarter.
For those of you who were lucky enough and smart enough to attend the Fifth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts, you know how successful it was, with great papers, convivial audiences and varied subjects. We hosted more than 325 attendees from some 17 states. Our evaluations have been overwhelmingly positive, actually adulatory in most cases, a testament to the staff, to the Decorative Arts Advisory Committee, to our volunteers and to our sponsors. Dale L. Couch introduced himself as our new curator of decorative arts with a loud and protracted bang. If you have not driven by the new building lately, you will be surprised that it is now clad in beautifully toned limestone and that the construction of the storage bar is well underway. The interior of the “old” building is under renovation, and our cloistered sculpture garden is beginning to take its eventual shape. To say we are excited is an understatement. In late January, we lost one of our great patrons and collectors, when Paul R. Jones, who has been on our advisory board since 1995, died in Atlanta. Betty Alice Fowler and I attended the celebration of his life on February 1. Paul was a fine man, committed to African American artists and their culture, yet equally embracing of all the arts, which he valued for their educational properties as well as their aesthetic ones. As we listened to the glorious music he would have loved to hear at the service, I kept thinking how ironic it is that this good man’s collection, this man who was denied admission to the University of Alabama’s law school in the late 1940s, is now partially housed in Tuscaloosa as a teaching collection for the students there. And, more personally, I kept thinking that as serious as the loss is to my museum, it is equally if not more grievous to me, his friend. On a happier note, I was so proud to be at the luncheon for the annual meeting of the Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries (GAMG) in January. Buddy and Lucy Allen received that group’s Patron of the Year award for our state, and my staff and I applaud vociferously the choice. Buddy and Lucy prove their devotion to the museum in so many ways, from supporting transportation to the museum for the annual fifth-grade tours to serving on boards and committees to bringing their family and friends into the life of the museum. Most recently, they co-hosted a dinner honoring our speakers at the decorative-arts symposium. They exemplify what Honoré de Balzac meant when he defined virtue as “politeness of the soul,” a generosity of spirit as well as of resources. Perri Lee Roberts, a scholar at the University of Miami, rejoices with us in the completion of a project that has consumed all of us since 2002. Our three-volume “Corpus of Early Italian Art in North American Public Collections: The South” is now available as an essential resource for Italian scholars and students. Of all our accomplishments, I am perhaps most proud of this publication because it exemplifies my belief that the museum must lead in encouraging research and disseminating it. These three volumes affirm that scholarship is the basis for teaching and for service. We are grateful for Roberts’ dedication to this project as well as for her patience. Patricia Wright never asked for recognition during the 30-plus years she worked at the university and museum. I will only say that she is greatly missed, and I thank her for making my professional life smoother for so many years.

September 28 Work continued on the new gallery, the connector and the existing building. Holder Construction formed the radius portion of the curved retaining walls and completed the exterior stud framing on the north elevation. Ceiling demo commenced in the Kennedy and Alston Galleries.
October 5 Holder completed the exterior stud framing and began to raise the connector’s structural steel and to frame the skylight walls.
October 12 Workers continued to form and pour the retaining walls. The view of the southwest corner of the building gives a good indication of the new galleries’ breadth.
October 19 Although filled with dirt mounds and trucks, the sculpture garden’s boundaries become more and more defined. A detail of the new galleries’ exterior provides a close-up view of the meticulous stud framing. Workers continued to frame the roof parapet and skylights.

Phase II Construction Update
C O N S T R U C T I O N U P D AT E October 26 Holder completed the large concrete retaining walls, installed vapor barrier and roof sheathing at skylights and installed spray fireproofing between exterior beams.
November 2 Workers waterproofed and backfilled the concrete retaining walls. Exterior sheathing on the new gallery walls and mass excavation of the storage bar sub-grade are nearly complete.
November 9 This week, construction focused on roof and exterior wall sheathing and vapor barrier installation. Beyond the gallery, workers prepared the exterior for concrete sidewalks.
November 16 Holder applied the exterior gallery vapor barrier, installed first-floor masonry at the mechanical rooms and completed the connector’s structural steel.

R.A. Miller (American, 1912–2006) All the Devils, n.d. Enamel paint on barn door Approx. 30 x 65 x 1 7/8 inches Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia; gift of Carl and Marian Mullis in honor of Shannon Candler, past chair, Board of Advisors GMOA 2009.144
hanks to the ongoing generosity of Carl and Marian Mullis, from whose collection the exhibition Lord Love You: Works by R.A. Miller from the Mullis Collection was pulled, the Georgia Museum of Art received a gift of 30 works by R.A. Miller. The images, among them “All the Devils,” featured on the back cover of the exhibition catalogue, present Miller’s best-known themes, including God, religion, social commentary, country, popular culture and animals. This gift is a major contribution to GMOA’s growing collection of work by self-taught artists, especially Southerners, in the American art department. We intend to use the gift alongside previous donations of works by Miller to create a new traveling exhibition. Paul Manoguerra, Curator of American Art

idiculed by critics and the general public of his day for his radical departure from the prevailing academic style and subject matter, Edouard Manet became a key source for the emerging French avant-garde in the late 19th century and for generations of artists who followed. This drawing and other works generously donated by Dr. Daniel Byrd join our small but growing collection of sketches by important modern artists. The insights into artists’ working methods and thought processes that sketches like this one offer make them an ideal teaching resource. Manet’s untitled drawing will be included in an exhibition of modern European drawings coorganized by GMOA and the Arkansas Arts Center. Lynn Boland, Pierre Daura Curator of European Art

or more than a year, GMOA was without a curator of decorative arts. Largely due to budget cuts, the museum lacked the resources to hire a curator until recently, when it could once again fill the position due to a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. We are happy to welcome Dale L. Couch to our staff! Couch holds a bachelor’s degree in history and a graduate degree in art history from the University of South Carolina. He is also a graduate of the Archives Institute at Emory University and the Institute for Southern Material Culture at the University of North Carolina and Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts. Previously, he was a senior reference archivist at the Georgia Archives, where he researched and consulted for exhibitions at the High Museum of Art, the Atlanta Historical Society and many other regional institutions. Couch’s rich understanding of the decorative arts extends to his memories of growing up in a traditional southern setting. His interest in furniture kindled when—in South Carolina, where his family has lived since the 1600s—he would visit early houses. A fascination with the historical, anthropological and artistic aspects of the southern colonial furniture Couch saw firsthand led to his academic interest in decorative arts, a perfect interdisciplinary field.

Museum Notes
T Albert Flintom “Flint” Williams
Darious Dupree Brown
he staff at the Georgia Museum of Art welcomed Paula Arscott, new executive assistant to the director, in November 2009. Arscott has more than 15 years of administrative experience and came to GMOA after living for nearly a decade in the United Kingdom, where she worked as an administrator in the office of student services and disability and dyslexia service at Brunel University in West London. While celebrating Arscott’s arrival, we sadly had to say good-bye to other staff members, including Patricia Wright (executive assistant to the director), Susan Christopher (assistant to the director and the deputy director) and Heidi Snyder (assistant registrar). Wright retired after more than 30 years of service to GMOA. We’re sure she’s enjoying her time away from her desk! Christopher moved to Cordesville, S.C., where her husband took a job with the U.S. Forest Service, and Snyder relocated to Chicago, where her husband accepted a transfer and a promotion with Honeywell. All will be missed. In baby news, Jenny Williams, media relations coordinator, and her husband, Ben, welcomed Albert Flintom “Flint” Williams on December 28, 2009. Craig Brown, security guard, and his wife, Angela, welcomed Darious Dupree Brown on January 23, 2010, his parents’ wedding anniversary and his namesake’s birthday. Congratulations to the Williamses and the Browns! This year’s holiday shop and book sale in the Visual Arts Building was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who donated used books for the cause, the proceeds from which will go toward exhibitions and programming. Please remember to check out our online museum shop at www.uga.edu/gamuseum. In partnership with the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art at Auburn University and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma, GMOA was recently awarded a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation for the exhibition and catalogue of Art Interrupted: Advancing American Art and the Politics of Cultural Diplomacy. The exhibition, which will reassemble a group of contemporary, modernist paintings purchased by the U.S. State Department in 1946 for an international goodwill tour that was canceled after political controversy erupted, will tour in 2012–2013, opening in Auburn, Ala., and closing in Athens. Several GMOA staff members attended the annual Georgia Association of Museums and Galleries (GAMG) conference in Thomasville, Ga., this January. Carissa DiCindio, associate curator of education, presented a session on internships in museums with Cindy Bowden from the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum at Georgia Tech and moderated an education roundtable session for the Georgia Museum Educators Association with Lisa Wheeler from the Booth Museum in Cartersville. Carissa DiCindio presents at GAMG.
