Front Cover: Rita Lombardi, Reading Nook, Squirrel Hill Branch Library, Pittsburgh, PA, pigment print, 30 x 38 in., 2012
Exhibitions Focus on the Power of the Written Word Rita Lombardi: On Libraries on view October 22 through April 2 Photographer Rita Lombardi’s interest in public libraries as a subject is motivated by what she describes as “the transformative power” of this important community service: in the best of the democratic tradition, the branch library gives free access to information and opens up worlds in the imagination, thereby sparking empowerment for the receptive patron. Since beginning the project in 2011, Lombardi has lived and traveled through several American towns, large and small, and has captured both exterior and interior shots of this wholly American institution. Her images of buildings’ façades demonstrate the library’s integration with its neighborhood. The interiors often seem to be unpopulated (though the ghost of a moving figure can be detected at times) and capture quirky corners that characterize the particularity of place or of the persons who work there. Urban, rural, grand, or modest, “the thing that ties all of these images together is a sense of wonder and magic that can be found in them,” Lombardi writes.

Portable Magic: Reading and Writing in the Visual Arts on view October 22 through April 2 Books are a uniquely portable magic. Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft Portable Magic showcases books and works of art about the written word from the Museum of Art’s rich collection and brings to light an eclectic array of material that otherwise remains in storage. Included are medieval manuscripts, decorative arts, works on paper, modern painting and sculpture. The varied objects in the exhibition are juxtaposed across materials and eras to encourage comparisons. Writing is a magical thing, the creation of abstract symbols (letters) that are combined into words that stand for spoken language representing objects and ideas. Words are woven into the stories, poems, memoirs, history, and articles that transport us to other places and eras, expand our imaginations, and inform us.Alphabets date to Sumerian cuneiform, from about 3500 BCE, but for readers in the United States today we can fast forward some millennia to medieval Western Europe where written
texts were produced in monasteries. Monks transcribed them by hand onto vellum and they were at times embellished with illustrations, some narrative and some fantastical, for royal and religious patrons. Some of the works in Portable Magic are beautiful illuminated manuscripts that are more than 500 years old. Portable Magic also includes the instruments of handwriting, writing desks, pens and 19th-century Tiffany inkwells, that are beautiful and interesting accoutrements that once accomplished what we now typically do with our thumbs on a keypad.

EXHIBITION OF STEVE MCCURRY’S UNFORGETTABLE IMAGES CONTINUES An inspiring chronicle of our world and its people is presented in The World through His Lens: Steve McCurry Photographs. The 60 large-scale and vivid works by renowned American photographer Steve McCurry (b. 1950), known for his iconic photo Afghan Girl, span the last three decades of McCurry’s life and travel across six continents.
the gardens and gates that surround it, are rigorously symmetrical and remain a great masterpiece of Islamic architecture. Explore the world with a visit or docent-led tour of The World through His Lens, on view through December 31.
Many of McCurry’s images are fascinating portraits that capture the human spirit. Others invite viewers to experience some of the most renowned places on the planet. For example, McCurry captured the perfect reflection of the luminous marble surface of the Taj Mahal on the placid waters of the Yamuna River just before being disrupted by movement from the man in the photo. Begun in 1631 and completed in 1653, the Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum for the beloved wife of the great Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1592-1666), Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631). Chronicles from the Mughal court tell of the great love between the pair who were betrothed as children and now lie beside one another beneath the great dome. The Taj Mahal and 4
