From the Editor Well, it’s been a challenge adapting to the year of COVID-19 but one that the Art Museum team nonethe-less showed up for! I am so glad to work with a team of talented, hard-working, museum professionals who adapted so quickly to #MUAMfromhome. The good is we launched lots of new content via online exhibitions and weekly Curator and Collections videos that have been very well received and will likely continue in some form beyond this pandemic. The bad is we sure missed showing off the rest of the Spring exhibitions for the second half of the semester and we will miss seeing you all at the start of our Fall exhibitions. We spent much of the summer moving forward with our Fall line-up featuring three new exhibitions as well as planning for what the MUAM experience would look and feel like for the rest of this year. We are pleased to offer an online version of our exhibitions for you to enjoy prior to our reopening. We remain excited and proud of our work and our mission to share art with you whether virtually or in person! We plan to open to the public in conjunction with Miami University’s return to face-toface instruction slated for September 21. To learn more about how to stay engaged with MUAM during this time and where to learn more about the details of our reopening visit tinyurl.com/muamcovidops. As always, I am excited to finish a new issue (though digital only) of the Visual Arts at Miami magazine which features the visual arts exhibitions and programs at Miami University from August through December 2020. So be sure to ENJOY the Visual Arts at Miami and welcome back to another exciting semester!

From the Director The Return of the Mask
Stay tuned for more on masks from our collection throughout the Fall on our social media (Facebook/Instagram)
The ingenuity of mask makers and the incredible variety of mask designs produced during the COVID-19 pandemic is nothing short of amazing. When it became apparent that face coverings helped slow the spread of the coronavirus, crafters all across the world began turning out custom designs.
protective face masks. Proceeds from the sale of these innovative and colorful coverings help support the artists while live performances are on hold. Sew Masks 4 Cincy (SM4C) grew up to coordinate local production of face masks, both for sale and for distribution to frontline workers. https://sewmasks4cincy.org/
Masks have been a part of human culture from the beginning. MUAM possesses a wonderful range of funerary masks in its permanent collection, from ancient Egypt to pre-classic Mexico.
Several several mask vendors can be found at Oxford’s uptown Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings. Using designs from artwork created by individuals living with dementia, Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) at Miami University is offering colorful masks on their website via tinyurl.com/omamerch.
Masks in American culture frequently have negative connotations, such as associations with bank heists and muggings. In popular culture, masks obscure the identity of the individual--think of the Lone Ranger, Zorro, the Phantom of the Opera. Masks worn at a costume ball both conceal and reveal one’s identity and character. In Asian traditions, think of Japanese Noh and Kabuki, Chinese quick-change magicians, Thai Ramakien, masks are used to tell stories and pass down ageless cultural norms. In contemporary Asia, protective masks have been a part of everyday life for decades.
One neighbor has been making masks with a transparent mouth panel to allow individuals with hearing loss to read the lips of the speaker. Another friend is making animal-faced masks to complement his natural history lectures and presentations. When the pandemic is behind us, I think we will have found new ways of showing we cared for others--when we wore masks in public; when we joined a sewing group to produce masks for our teachers and other frontline workers; and when we supported a local organization by purchasing one of their custom designs. That is one thing I will remember.
Most Americans now recognize that wearing a mask saves lives, shows respect for others in our society, and has even become a fashion statement. In the Cincinnati area, members of the wardrobe department of the Cincinnati ballet went from making tutus to producing

Art of Salesmanship–Art and its Markets
BY LAURA STEWART , COLLECTIONS MANAGER/REGISTRAR
Miami University Art History students have been at it again! Thanks to Professor Michael Hatch and Art 420D, his “Art and its Markets” class, another successful collaboration took place at the Art Museum during the spring 2020 semester. Instrumental to the project was the generous assistance provided by gallerist Adrienne French of Thomas French Fine Art, LLC, along with funds received from Miami University’s Center for Career Exploration and Success. On February 13, Professor Hatch and his students met at the museum to view around twenty original works of art. The works on paper, graciously made available by the Akron-area French gallery, included woodcuts, intaglios, lithographs and photographs dating from the late 15th to the mid-20th centuries. Professor Hatch charged his students with conducting a detailed visual analysis of their selected images, including noting the condition, edition or proof, state, artists’ signatures and other marks. Students then embarked upon researching the creators, publishers, subjects and other associated contextual information. The course experience culminated in the preparation and April 30 virtual presentation of proposals to the art museum staff as to which works of art should be acquired. Students based their “pitches” on such aspects as art historical significance, interdisciplinary connections and potential exhibition content, filling gaps or augmenting existing permanent collection holdings, as well as comparable sale prices.
This acquisition marks the first print by American Ashcan and urban realist artist Sloan (1871-1952) to enter the collection. The composition directly relates to the artworld and art market subject matter. Furthermore, the image describes the context surrounding the surge in popularity of African motifs in the modern art movement around the turn of the 20th century. Last but not least, Solon pitched the importance of adding a self-portrait by the late-19th century German symbolist artist Max Klinger (1857-1920) to the museum’s holdings to visually and biographically buttress several prints from Klinger’s Intermezzi Opus IV portfolio already in the collection. Spring 2020 marked the second installment of Professor Hatch’s Art420D course. The Art Museum is greatly appreciative of this interdisciplinary and experiential opportunity for art department faculty and students. The benefits are multifold and include not only support for the museum’s collecting endeavors, but also academic and engagement prospects for the University, the College of Creative Arts and the Oxford community at large. To learn more and see images of all of the acquired works, visit the news section of our web site www.MiamiOH.edu/ ArtMuseum. John Sloan (American, 1871-1951); Art of Salesmanship, 1930; signed; edition of 100; etching on laid paper, plate 4 x 5 in.; Miami University Art Museum Purchase with funds from Miami University Center for Career Exploration & Success; 2020.7
The winning proposals included those by Maria Jose DeSantiago Galan, Faith Walker and Abby Solon. DeSantiago Galan supported the acquisition of two 1915 lithographs by Théophile Alexander Steinlen (French, b. Switzerland 1859-1923) titled Entry to the German Jails and Release from the German Jails, both of which complement the museum’s collection of World War I and interwar period prints by European artists. These prints are also ripe for use by faculty and scholars in history and art history circles, among others, along with the images’ thematic compatibility with the 2020-21 John W. Altman Program, “Migrations.” Walker’s presentation involved the strength of John Sloan’s Art of Salesmanship from 1930.

Recognitions & Retirements This past May we were pleased to recognize in our virtual membership meeting, Dr. Scott Sander, Associate Clinical Professor, Science Education, Department of Teacher Education as our 20192020 Faculty Leader. We greatly appreciate his efforts to connect
This year, the Art Museum presented two students with the 2019-2020 Student Leader Award, in recognition of, and appreciation for, their leadership and ongoing contributions. The awards this year went to Breanna Cole (‘20) and Dianna Kate Karsanow (‘20). Breanna began working at the museum in the second semester of her freshman year. She created the hands-on activities for our Art Explorer program, helped docents with the technical aspects of their ILR presentations, and served as a gallery monitor for the Myaamia Ribbonwork exhibition. In addition she designed a special print produced for the Art Museum docents, which they loved. As a curatorial intern, Dianna Kate worked on the development of a future exhibition on environmental awareness, The World in Which We Live. She was instrumental in publicity for the recent student response and senior capstone exhibitions. Dianna ran our Dali & Donuts program, a student outreach effort to enhance awareness. She also produced some of the virtual exhibits in response to the COVID-19 closure.

students with the Art Museum. Sanders actively uses resources at the museum to develop inquiry-based learning experiences for his students. This enables his students to engage with and work through uncertainty and ambiguity and create meaningful explanations about the nature of our physical world. These intellectual exercises have become even more relevant in our current circumstances.
After 31 years at Miami, Debbie Caudill, Senior Program Assistant/Security Officer, retired in March. Debbie welcomed guests with an open, friendly and cheerful manner. She was responsible for scheduling, managing our student staff, providing technical assistance for the Art Museum’s public lectures, among a myriad of other tasks. She treated the museum as if it were her own home. Thank you Debbie, you are greatly missed!
Working as Miami University’s lead printmaking instructor for 33 years, Art Department faculty member Ellen Price retired at the close of Spring 2020 semester. During her tenure and as a working artist, Price organized and contributed to regional printmaking portfolios as well as exhibited her work both at the Miami University Art Museum and at other venues. In addition, Price serves on the museum’s Collections Development Committee and has been a powerful force behind introducing students to the many outstanding prints in the permanent collection. Recently, thanks to the Art Department and contributors, one of Price’s monoprints was purchased for the collection. It will be seen, studied and enjoyed by faculty and students in the future. Thank you for the memories and the legacy, Ellen - you are be greatly missed!

Misery and War: Georges Rouault’s WWI Reflections (Douglass Gallery)
Sacred Songs: Antiphonals and Illuminations (McKie Gallery)
Georges Rouault’s series of 58 prints made between 1918 and 1928 is an expression of his dismay at the state of society following World War I. His prints are a plea for compassion that follow his perceptive comprehension of the woes that plague humanity.
Written systems of musical notation developed in the 10th and 11th centuries, and by the 12th century they had been revised to make religious songs universal among religious orders. Many of these songs were produced large-scale for choirs performing the liturgy as Gregorian Chant.

BY JASON E. SHAIMAN, CURATOR OF EXHIBITIONS
BY JASON E. SHAIMAN, CURATOR OF EXHIBITIONS In 2014, the Miami University Art Museum purchased a collection of 25 broadsides illustrated by Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913). Featured in this exhibition are 18 of these pieces. It is estimated that Posada produced between 15,000 and 20,000 illustrations during his 42-year career.
Beyond the Day of the Dead: José Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) as a Revolutionary Artist
Mexican newspapers achieved prominence with society’s elite during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Illustrated broadsides, on the other hand, were popular with the lower socio-economic populace. Antonio Vanegas Arroyo, the most noted publisher of broadsides in Mexico City, produced news and stories akin to those found in modern sensationalized tabloids. It was Posada who made the broadsides a visual feast.
Posada’s dramatic visual language struck a deep chord in the Mexican popular consciousness during a time of revolution and has inspired generations of artists and printmakers, even influencing Hollywood films like Disney’s Coco (2017). This presentation explores the indigenous Mexican origins of Posada’s art of social satire and what makes his art so engaging.
Posada touched on a variety of subjects, including politics, news and current events, religion and obituaries. He is best known for his illustrations of skeletons, or calaveras, which refer to poems accompanied by images of skeletal figures used to critique the social elite and political leaders of the day. Poems served as satirical commentary dedicated to those still living, while the calaveras represented the notion that everyone is equal in death, regardless of wealth and social status. Together, these works demonstrate the richness of Posada’s visual commentary on modern life in Mexico during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

BY JASON E. SHAIMAN, CURATOR OF EXHIBITIONS Prior to World War I (1914-1918), tourism brought much notoriety and prosperity to European cities and towns. Europe soon was left in shambles after the war and faced an uphill battle of rebuilding. Promoting travel to foreigners during the 1930s helped bring about a return to the hustle and bustle of life. At the heart of such activities was the production and distribution of travel posters. Much of the renewal, however, was undone as a result of World War II. Europe was once again in a position of rebuilding. Efforts to reinvigorate tourism called forth new imagery for the production of travel posters. Artists were employed to create eye-catching designs for posters that would be distributed around the world. More than half of the posters in the collection, donated by Elma Pratt, date to the interwar period (between WWI and WWII). Although the images were created by fine and commercial artists, travel posters were not considered works of art. They served as utilitarian items to be displayed in public spaces, travel agencies, train stations, and other venues specializing in tourism. As a result, most of the posters show significant signs of wear and tear, and denote their prolific use on a grand scale.
Communicating Tourism Following Devastation JASON E. SHAIMAN, CURATOR OF EXHIBITIONS TUE, NOV 11 | 7 PM [Virtual] TINYURL.COM/MUAMEVENTS As a result of the two world wars, European countries were left with the uphill battle of rebuilding. Tourism played a key role in reinvigorating such growth, and at the heart of efforts was the production and distribution of engaging travel posters. Artistic and utilitarian, posters highlighted European history and culture while promoting popular tourist destinations to foreigners. Come explore the evolution of these travel posters and what they reveal about tourism in a new age.

BY JASON E. SHAIMAN, CURATOR OF EXHIBITIONS Chasing Light is a photographic arts exhibition co-curated with Miami University photographers and faculty, Scott Kissell, Jeff Sabo, Ron Stevens and Jon Yamashiro. The exhibition is presented in association with the Cincinnatibased photography initiative, FotoFocus 2020, through a series of exhibitions and presentations. The FotoFocus theme of Light & inspired an exploration of how photographers look for and use light specifically in black and white photography. From the beginnings of photography in the 1820s, light has been a critical factor in the production of pictures. Simply, without light there will be no image. But, what is photography? It is the process of capturing the light that reflects off of an object and transferring those characteristics onto hard surfaces including glass, metal, paper and film. Thirty-one photographs from the Art Museum’s permanent collection are on display in this original exhibition. These images collectively demonstrate the photographer’s approach to finding specific lighting conditions or serendipitously coming across the perfect situation to enhance their study of the intended subject. Black and white photography commonly offers many more nuances of tonal gradations compared to color, making it the preferred format for the study of light.

McGuffey Moments Epidemics, Contagions & the Oxford Experience STEVE GORDON, ADMINISTRATOR
The past six months have been a somber reminder that public health awareness is a worldwide priority. Covid-19 alerted all populations that pandemics and plagues are not extinct, indeed they lurk wherever people live. Human history is littered with pestilence. During the second quarter of the 19th century, cholera outbreaks, manifested by poor sanitation and waterborne bacteria, killed thousands in Cincinnati. Over the summer of 1849, nearly 10 percent of Oxford’s citizens succumbed to cholera. In 1851, Charles McGuffey, the McGuffey’s only living son, died suddenly from tuberculosis at age 16. In 1918, as a result of the influenza epidemic on campus, all women students and those men not in military training were sent home. Still, eight Miami students died from the flu pandemic. William and Martha Beard, then living in the McGuffey house, lost their son Donald to influenza. After World War II polio, a virus that infected the spine,
afflicted many in Oxford until vaccines were distributed. All told, tuberculosis, smallpox, influenza and polio killed and afflicted nearly a million Americans. Infections from seemingly minor injuries also proved deadly. In 1935, Pat Roudebush, a four-sport letterman and Miami Class of 1934, died of septicemia, or blood poisoning, as a result of a minor injury sustained during a tennis match. Despite the ravages of these contagions, families and communities endured. Each generation confronted life’s fragility, and braced itself for the unexpected. Life was not taken for granted as it could be snuffed out unexpectedly. For many, family, friends and faith were the supportive fabric that enabled people to continue on with their lives. Equally important, especially after WWI, were medical advances that improved life expectancy and overall health. One response to the influenza pandemic of 1918 was when Miami opened its first campus hospital in 1923. About the same

time, the upper floor of the McGuffey side porch was enclosed, most likely in response to a tuberculosis outbreak. Interest in public health prompted Daisy McCullough and her sister to establish Oxford’s first hospital. Out of the carnage of WWII came the wider availability of penicillin, antibiotics such as streptomycin and flu vaccines. Had penicillin and McCullough-Hyde hospital been available a decade earlier, Pat Roudebush would likely have recovered from septicemia. The harsh reality is that threats posed by new strains of viruses will always be present. Each outbreak teaches us that improvements in public health care, sanitation, and development of vaccines can ameliorate the spread of contagions. Oxford’s improved water treatment, better public sanitation, and access to improved health care at a local hospital and Student Health Center all are tangible responses to pandemic threats.

HIESTAND HAPPENINGS NORTH GALLERY | FALL 2020 AUG 20–OCT 8 JIM ARENDT | PIERCED & MENDED Jim Arendt is an artist whose work explores the shifting paradigms of labor and place through narrative figure painting, drawing, prints, fabric and sculpture. Influenced by the radical reshaping of the rural and industrial landscapes he grew up in, he investigates how individual lives are affected by transitions in economic structures. “Persistence in difficult times is the art I’m most interested in. I continue to be inspired by the ways in which people make do for themselves. Whether it was a trip to the scrapyard or the back of the pantry, there was usually a way to work around material deficits. “ [Jimarendt.com]

AUG 17–SEP 15 REVERBERATIONS: CECILIA VÁZQUEZ
SEP 25–OCT 22 OPERAS OF PIRANESI: FROM THE BRIAN ANDREWS COLLECTION
In the exhibition, Reverberations, Cecilia Vázquez includes artworks that span across the last several years. Though generated from sensations of still life and landscape, as her pieces evolve she develops compositions that bind contradictory elements together into continuous images. Representations and inventions collide for the works to provoke discoveries and unexpected connections, while articulating personal metaphoric constructions particular to Vázquez’s practice of painting as a language. [cecilia-vazquez. blogspot.com]
These etchings are the result of a 25-year journey by Cincinnati Collector, Brian Andrews. The prints represent seventeen different Operas by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, including Prima Parte Di Architetture e Prospettive, Carceri, Le Antichita Romane I, II, III, IV, IL, Campo Marizio Dell’ Antica Roma, Trofeo O Sia Magnifica Colonna Coclide and Vedute Di Roma. The exhibition exemplifies a crosssection of Piranesi’s genius as an artist, inventor and observer. The etchings were collected from many different places including Venice, Rome, New Orleans and Tokyo. Williams states: “The collection began on a spring day in Williamsburg, Virginia. That day, I purchased, Architectural Details From the Temple of Fortuna Virilis. At that moment, I would never have guessed that the collection would ultimately grow to the more than forty prints that it now comprises. I sincerely hope that those who visit the exhibit, enjoy the etchings as much as I did collecting them.”
OCT 30–NOV 20 LIZ MAUGANS | LEFTOVER CASSEROLE Casseroles are hearty, stick-to-yourbones meals. Artist Liz Maugans takes casseroles to people who are in need of comfort. Maugans states: I feed my family Aspen Chicken Casserole or Turkey Tetrazzini that is made with the rice, pasta and beans from my pantry. These one-dish meals pride themselves on both frugality and the desire to not waste food. Leftovers combined from a post-Thanksgiving celebration or the overstock from the garden tomatoes from a previous summer are hidden deep inside the roots of these covered dishes. Our world needs a huge ass casserole right now. My studio practice is a big kitchen. I use what I have, particularly during the quarantine, to make these mixed media print collages. These works are made from my stockpile, my dumping grounds, mixed thoroughly with the world’s unprecedented moment of change. I make very small steps, but they’re part of trying to shift my focus to process and action, rather than worry. I’m sharing these dishes with you. Bring a fork.. [Lizmaugansart.com]

SEP 3 | J. LEIGH GARCIA | VIGILANTES Major events in Texas history such as the MexicanAmerican War, Battle of the Alamo, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and Bracero Program have created a complex relationship between J. Leigh Garcia’s two cultures: Texans and Mexicans. The residual racial discord that has resulted from these historical moments—particularly, the racialization and displacement of unauthorized Latinx immigrants—is both the context and focus of her work. Through printmaking, papermaking, installation, and socially engaged art, Garcia encourages awareness of our current immigration and foreign affairs policies through the lens of her biracial cultural identity. J. Leigh Garcia is an artist born and raised in Dallas, TX. Garcia received Master of Fine Arts and Master of Arts degrees from the University of WisconsinMadison, and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from The University of North Texas. Garcia is currently a Print Media and Photography Professor at Kent State University in Kent, OH. [jleighgarcia.com]

SEP 24 | A CONVERSATION WITH EMILY DENLINGER
NOV 5 | LIZ MAUGANS, COMMUNITY SERVICE 53.0 : ALONG WITH A FEW RAINBOWS AND DEER SIGHTINGS
Emily Denlinger is a Multimedia/New media artist addressing social justice issues using fine art, social media, and graphic design. In her lecture she will discuss her social activism art practice and how it runs parallel to reoccurring themes in her fine art images. Her social activism work involves identifying important issues that need promotional resources, building online communities through graphics, and engaging these communities in the world outside of the computer to enhance their reach and impact. Voter registration nonprofit nonpartisan group, SEMO Votes, and social justice movement, Justice for Madi, will be discussed in detail.

Volume 8, Issue 2 | Spring 2020
In this massively vulnerable talk, Liz Maugans will illustrate real and relatable struggles of her own “worst year ever” (which surprisingly was not 2020, but 2018) to encourage each of us to see the beauty in being alive, and the growth that can only be learned through struggle, challenge and discomfort. Art and Community play the leading role in this talk, as she waxes reflection and rallies a call to action in both her community engagement work as well as her individual studio practice. Maugans received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and studied printmaking at Kent State University. She was awarded a Creative Workforce Fellowship from Community Partnership for Arts and Culture in 2013, Ohio Arts Council International Residency to Dresden, Germany in 2009, Artist-in- Communities Grant in 2005, and Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowship in 2000. She was awarded the Martha Joseph Prize for Distinguished Service from the Cleveland Arts Prize in 2012 along with Zygote co-founder Bellamy Printz. She is represented by HEDGE Gallery at 78th Street Studios, Cleveland. [lizmaugansart.com]
