Sunday-Monday CLOSED Brief History: Construction of the Miami University Art Museum in 1978 was made possible by private contributions to Miami University’s Goals for Enrichment capital campaign in the mid-1970s. A major gift for the building came as a bequest from Miami alumnus Fred C. Yager, class of 1914.

Walter Netsch, the museum’s architect, Walter I. Farmer, class of 1935, and Orpha B. Webster generously donated extensive art collections and were instrumental in developing early support for the museum.

From the Director The Arts They Are a-Changin’ (with apologies to Bob Dylan) Aaron Betsky of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Raphaela Platow of the Contemporary Art Center and Tamara Harkavy of Artworks recently addressed a gathering of arts professionals at the Pyramid Hill home of Harry Wilks in Hamilton, Ohio. Betsky discussed the challenges facing arts organizations in the greater Cincinnati area, both as educational institutions and as repositories of visual culture for future generations. Platow spoke about trends in new media and how that has impacted installations at her institution. Harkavy emphasized the ways in which art can become a vital part of the community, especially outside the walls of the museum.

One important message is that the arts today remain a transformative force in our society. At the same time, the creative process and the creative products themselves have been dramatically transformed by the advent of digital media. These two conversations represent the challenges facing the museum of today: the digital documentation of artwork in traditional media as a way of preserving the past, while at the same time encouraging viewers to experience the original works of art in person. Another challenge is how to present and preserve artwork that exists only in digital form.

The Miami University Art Museum is responding to this new reality in several ways. First, the digitization of the 16,000+ objects in the art museum’s collections has been underway for some time. One of the first collections to be digitized was our world class Leica camera collection. Digital images of the entire Leica collection will soon be available online through eMuseum, a software application that allows visitors to compile their own online exhibitions, learn more about the collections on display in the galleries and access multi-media presentations related to works in the permanent collection.

We also are exploring how the digital impacts the way we engage our students in a critical dialogue about visual literacy. The Visual Culture Working Group, hosted by the art museum, is developing visual literacy teaching modules for fields outside of the traditional arts disciplines, such as history, archaeology and anthropology.

I hope to see you in the galleries or meet you online!

Collections News The Collections Development Committee (CDC) met on November 14, 2011, to review gifts and donations to the art museum and McGuffey Museum. We are grateful to all the donors who supported us in 2011 with their generous gifts.

Art museum purchases included lithograph prints by Luis Jimenez, El Buen Pastor and Reflejo del Chuco, and a print by Roger Shimomura, Kansas Samurai. A portfolio of six lithographs, Mistaken Identities, also by Shimomura, deals with the issue of Japanese internment camps in World War II. A purchase/partial gift of a richly narrative sculpture by Rondle West, Someone Has a Napoleon Complex, 2010, is a mixed media work of found objects in porcelain, wood and plastic, painted and sanded to a lacquer finish and assembled on a converted French bedstead.

Gifts included an extensive collection of Japanese woodblock prints from Peggy Rogers Rogers, who also gave us a portfolio of four prints, a color lithograph by Anna Martin and archival material on Leonard and Reva Brooks.

Dr. Lisa Farrington, a Fall 2011 program speaker on African American women artists, donated a lithograph by Faith Ringgold, Freedom Flag Story #1: On Tuesday Morning, 2003. Mortimer Spiller presented us with a color lithograph by Fernand Léger, The King of Hearts, 1949.

A historically significant photograph by Judy Dater, Vickie Singer, 1986, came from Clive Getty, along with two photogravures by Paul Strand and an etching

by Sir Frank William Brangwyn. Deborah Hawley donated 82 prints and drawings by Jean Lodge (‘63), with more to come in 2012. A group of etchings and original Christmas cards by Cincinnati artist Paul Ashbrook were a gift from David Brown (‘67).

James and Frances Allen expanded our contemporary art collection with their gift of 15 mixed media works on Japanese paper, by Sam Gilliam, who is recognized as one of America’s foremost Color Field painters. Richard Polsky gave us Leica, 2009, by Daniel Douke, acrylic on canvas. Two early Philip Morsberger paintings were a gift from Helen Snider. A portrait of Read Bain,

by Lydia Osborn Wiepking (‘39 and ‘61), was added to the MU Archive Collection, a gift from Herbert Wiepking. Four Rookwood ceramic animal figures were donated by Ann and James Key, together with a reference book on Rookwood Pottery.

Art Museum Exhibitions The Focal Point of Women Rosalie and Hubert Douglass Gallery Photography as an art form is relatively young compared to painting, sculpture and printmaking. The contributions of women to the field are even more recent. The pioneering women of photography contributed more than beautifully composed images; they used the medium to tackle social, racial, political and gender issues. Today, female photographers hold highly respected positions as photojournalists and documentarians for magazines, newspapers and political organizations. A curator’s talk on the topic of women and photography will be held on Wednesday, February 15.

Berenice Abbott (American, 1898-1991) Under the El at the Battery, image taken 1932 Photograph, 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Kezur, 1988.22

Weaving Women into History Stanley and Agnes McKie Gallery The production of textiles as a sign of gender identification has changed over time. However, women were and remain the primary makers of hand-produced textiles. The survival of textile traditions is evident in indigenous cultures, where women continue to create garments, blankets, samplers, quilts and other fiber arts. Important to the cultural significance, textile styles and patterns typically denote traditions found within specific tribes, pueblos and communities. On Wednesday, March 28, there will be a curator’s talk on the subject of fabric arts.

India Mirror-work hanging, ca. 1920 Cotton and glass, 28" x 28" Gift of Orpha Webster, 1973.T.3.26

The Material Culture of Women Phyllis Burkham Goodyear Gallery Throughout the centuries, and in many diverse cultures, women have been the creators of utilitarian and decorative objects that today are invaluable works of cultural significance.

Insight into the complex issues of community, religion and gender roles can be obtained by studying pottery, furniture, basketry, silver, glass, wooden objects and more, through the lens of material culture. Our curator will discuss this topic on Wednesday, April 11.

Ancient Cypriot Votive Sculpture and the Folk Art Tradition Dr. Ann Marie Knoblauch, Associate Professor, Art History, School of Visual Arts, College of Architecture and Urban Studies, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia Classical limestone sculpture was produced in various sizes to be dedicated at religious sanctuaries on the island of Cyprus. The smaller votive statues are inferior in quality, which raises the question of whether artistic styles and techniques were driven by local community needs rather than broader stylistic movements across the Mediterranean. This issue will be discussed, with reference to the availability of workable raw material and demand for the product that created a “cottage industry” for sculptors.

For Heaven’s Sake: the Re-conceptualization of Christian Sacred Space in Late Antiquity Dr. Karen Britt, Assistant Professor of Byzantine and Medieval Art & Archaeology, Art History Program, Department of Fine Arts, University of Louisville, Kentucky It is commonly assumed that the imagery in the churches of ancient Palestine and Arabia was arranged hierarchically from the floors to the walls, vaults and ceilings, evoking a perception of “heaven on earth” among worshippers.

Contemporary literary descriptions and recent archaeological evidence will be examined to attempt a reconstruction of this visual concept.

William Holmes McGuffey Museum McGuffey Museum welcomed over 1,350 visitors for guided tours from January through November, 2011, including over 80 alumni, family members and friends who came through the museum during Reunion Weekend in June. Group tours included St. Antoninus Friends from Cincinnati and the Auglaize County Historical Society. School groups came in from St. James School in Cincinnati, Struble Elementary and Miamitown Elementary. The high school junior in the photo at right, Laurie Wilcoxson, came in with her parents in September. She attends school in Indiana and was researching McGuffey and the Readers for a report.

The museum is frequently visited by Miami students on their own and for class projects. Over 60 students in the American Studies introduction course toured McGuffey in November to fulfill their assignment.

Laurie Wilcoxson in September, 2011

In June, Jim McGuffey, a descendant of Henry McGuffey, William Holmes McGuffey’s younger brother, toured the museum with his family. They were returning home to Kansas from Virginia and included Oxford in their travels to give Jim’s son Camden a glimpse of family history.

A recent addition to McGuffey’s collection is a landscape painted ca. 1902 by Martha Whipple Cochran Beard. William and Martha Beard purchased the McGuffey House in 1903 and relocated to Oxford from their farm in Morgan Township, Butler County.

Martha Beard, a native of Millville, was educated at the Teacher’s College in Ada, Ohio, and was considered to be a talented local artist. The painting was donated to McGuffey Museum by the William Junk and William Baer families and conserved through the generosity of William Junk, (’38). Junk is a grandson and Baer is a great-grandson of William and Martha Beard.

Other gifts to McGuffey Museum in 2011 included 37 McGuffey Readers, history books and other textbooks from Patricia Thompson and an ornate silverplated tray from Ted and Harriet Schmitt. A hearty thank you to all the donors and volunteers who help make McGuffey Museum a vital part of the community.

Cage Gallery

Over-the-Rhine Atelier 2012 March 12-26 Graphic Design Show: Best in Class February 20-March 2 This is an exhibition of juryselected work by second, third and fourth year B.F.A. graphic design students. The work in the show represents the design curriculum, from traditional to interactive to three-dimensional media, in both self-authored and collaborative projects.

Over-the-Rhine is a community in Cincinnati that is marked by extremes of gentrification and homelessness. The Atelier is part of a collaboration between Miami University Center for Community Engagement in Over-the-Rhine, CR architecture + design, and community-based agencies dedicated to low- and moderate-income occupancy.

Students live close to the project site and work each day in the CR offices through a hands-on internship, receiving professional guidance from the instructor and the architects. They learn to bring the expertise of the office down to earth while serving as design advocates for their neighbors.

In the 2012 Spring semester, the Atelier will envision new offices for Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, including re-development of the current space, as well as plans for an adjacent new structure. The Atelier will confront the challenges of inserting new work into a historic building fabric.
