The Wyeth Legacy Paintings by N.C., Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan Collection. through February 13, 2011 Three generations of Wyeth paintings will be on view this winter in recognition of a generous bequest to Philbrook from the Marylouise Cowan Trust. Included in this gift are two watercolor still lifes by Oklahoma artist P.S. Gordon and fifteen original Wyeth paintings which will be featured in The Wyeth Legacy: Paintings by N.C., Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan Collection, through February 13, 2011. A valued community philanthropist, Cowan served on the board of the Philbrook Museum of Art and the Tulsa Town Hall before being inducted into the Tulsa Historical Society Hall of Fame in 2000. Cowan was born in Tulsa in 1921 and moved to Maine in 1979 with her husband Howard. There they published two local newspapers and were active donors at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland. Cowan’s spirit of philanthropy returns to Tulsa with this significant bequest which will greatly complement Philbrook’s permanent holdings in American Art. The Wyeth family legacy spans three generations and is largely synonymous with American realism. From the beloved illustrations and colorful adventures of N.C. Wyeth (1812-1945) to the psychologically loaded spaces of son Andrew (1917-2009), the Wyeth’s poetic dialogue with nature continues in the images of farm and island life by grandson Jamie (b. 1946). A prominent artistic family much like the colonial Peale family, the Wyeths are of great note in American art. During the maelstrom of change that characterized much of the twentieth century, the Wyeths carried the torch of realism proudly, celebrating an enduring simplicity of country life. Philbrook Museum of Art is exceedingly grateful to the Cowan Trust for this permanent gift which will be enjoyed by the community for years to come.

Two international gifts – the Eugene B. Adkins Collection and the George R. Kravis II Design Collection – combined with the generosity of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, have spurred Philbrook’s development of a new satellite presence in Tulsa’s historic Brady District. The GKFF’s generous provision of approximately 30,000 square feet within the former Mathews Warehouse will enable and transform the Philbrook experience as well as the city’s cultural landscape for decades to come. To that end, we are proud to announce that Gluckman Mayner Architects of New York, NY will design these wonderful new additions to the Philbrook experience. These two distinct, yet ultimately interrelated spaces will be home to the Adkins Collection & Study Center as well as a space dedicated to modern and contemporary art and design.
About the Architects Gluckman Mayner Architects is one of America’s leading architectural firms, having designed many acclaimed arts institutions including The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh, PA), The Picasso Museum (Malaga, Spain), The Georgia O’Keefe Museum (Santa Fe, NM), and the awardwinning Perelman Building at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Richard Gluckman, principal architect for this project, is the recipient of numerous honors and awards including the National Design Award
from the Copper Hewitt National Design Museum in 2005. We look forward to working with this outstanding firm to create something exciting and essential to our community. While conceptual in nature, these images serve merely as the beginning of a journey we will go on together. In the days, weeks, and months ahead, we will keep you in the loop with the construction and progress as the process moves forward.

American Streamlined Design The World of Tomorrow February 6 – May 15, 2011
Streamlining emerged during the Great Depression at the same time that the new professional field of industrial design arose. This was also the time when President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of the promise of the New Deal. In the depth of the Depression, glossy streamlined products were identified with progress and economic recovery. This scientific-looking, progressive style suggested the hope of the future. “The World of Tomorrow” was the name fittingly given to the 1939 New York World’s Fair, a fair that emphasized visions of a sophisticated, scientific world to come. American Streamlined Design presents the work of such leaders in consumer and industrial design as Raymond Loewy, Henry Dreyfuss, and Walter Dorwin Teague, as well as less well known talents, including Egmont Arens and Robert Heller. Over 185 objects in diverse new materials, from Bakelite to stainless steel, are organized thematically around the spheres of American life in the 1930s-50s: the office and workroom, the living room, kitchen, and bath, recreation and transportation. A final section, Streamlining Now, looks at how streamlining still affects design today. Streamlining evolved from scientific studies concerned with minimizing wind and water resistance for the design of ships, trains, and aircraft. It was discovered that a teardrop or bullet shape met less resistance and thus moved more rapidly. Vehicles with smooth and continuous surfaces generally performed with greater speed and efficiency, saving both time and energy while also improving passengers’ comfort. Designers were fascinated by the dynamic quality of the resultant parabolic, sweeping lines of streamlining and, beginning in the 1930s, applied them freely to modern-style objects, even things that would never move.

Here’s What’s Up... The Wyeth Legacy: Paintings by N.C., Andrew, and Jamie from the Cowan Collection through February 13, 2011 Mezzanine
For three generations the Wyeth family has been legendary in American art. N.C. Wyeth was among the most acclaimed illustrators of the early twentieth century while his son Andrew became one of the most widely recognized artists of all time. This artistic tradition continues with his son Jamie. The fifteen paintings in this exhibition are the bequest of long-time Philbrook patron Marylouise Cowan.

American Streamlined Design: The World of Tomorrow February 6 – May 15, 2011 Helmerich Gallery
The twentieth century reveled in machines and the speed they made possible. Sleek aerodynamic styling embodied a new and modern beauty. From the late 1920s to the 1950s, streamlining became the popular American design idiom for objects ranging from toy scooters to typewriters. This exhibition features more than 180 objects by such designers as Raymond Loewy, Donald Deskey, Henry Dreyfuss, Norman Bel Geddes and Walter Dorwin Teague.

Rauschenberg at Gemini June 12 – September 11, 2011
Beginning in 1967, Robert Rauschenberg – best-known for his radically innovative “Combines” of the 1950s and 60s – created groundbreaking assemblages at Gemini, G.E.L, the renowned multiples workshop in West Hollywood, CA. Just as Rauschenberg collapsed traditional forms in American painting with his progressive collages, so too did he shatter norms in printmaking. The exhibition will feature his ambitious three-decade collaboration with Gemini printers, an association which expanded definitions of a “print” by pushing physical dimensions, increasing variability between editions, and combining various media and disparate imagery into one work. Robert Rauschenberg, Sky Garden, Stoned Moon Series (detail), 1969, 6-color lithograph with screenprint. Exhibition organized by the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA.

Painting in Europe 1600-1800: Highlights from the Speed Art Museum October 9, 2011 – January 8, 2012
The seventeenth- and eighteenth-centuries were periods of intense artistic innovation and development in Europe. The Speed Art Museum in Louisville, KY is one of this country’s premier regional museums, and their European collection is noted for its exceptionally high quality Baroque and Rococo art. Philbrook will feature more than seventy paintings carefully selected from the Speed’s collection by such major artists as Rubens, Rembrandt, Gainsborough and Tiepolo. Jean Jacques François Lebarbier, Helen and Paris, 1799, Oil on canvas. Collection of the Speed Art Museum, Gift of the Charter Collectors. Painting in Europe: 1600-1800: Highlights from the Speed Art Museum, has been organized by the Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky.
Momentous Miniature Discoveries Just a few weeks ago, one of Philbrook’s smallest collections received some very welcome attention. Thanks to a generous grant awarded by the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, we were able to bring in two renowned experts to study and perform a conservation assessment of our collection of more than forty portrait miniatures. The majority of these delicate and diminutive images, some of which are smaller than a postage stamp, were originally given to
the museum by the Starr Family, and form a sizeable and important part of Philbrook’s collection of European and American portraits. The miniatures, and the results of this new research, will be featured in an innovative exhibition here at Philbrook in April 2011 called Precious Possessions: The Art of the Portrait Miniature. Top: John Smart, A Gentleman, mid 18th C., watercolor on paper. Gift of Mr. And Mrs. John Starr. Bottom: Jen-Baptiste Isabey, Empress Josephine, c. 1805, watercolor on ivory.

Something Borrowed Have you noticed some new paintings on our walls? Philbrook has received some significant loans which will add great depth to our American and European departments over the next few months. The first selection includes four paintings on loan from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas ranging in date from 1875-1963 and one large modernist painting by Stuart Davis on loan from the Vilcek Foundation in New York. Come view these exciting temporary additions and find a new favorite among the works spanning the naturalizing romanticism of the late nineteenth century to the painterly expressions of 1960s America.

Something Loaned In the spirit of exchange, Philbrook will loan three pieces from our permanent collection to the following upcoming exhibitions: Alexandre Hogue: An American Visionary, (opening at the Art Museum of South Texas, Corpus Christi, January 2011). Philbrook will loan Erosion No. 2 – Mother Earth Laid Bare, 1936 by Alexandre Hogue. The Orient Expressed: Japan’s Influence on Western Art 18541918 (opening at Mississippi Museum of Art, January 2011 and traveling). Philbrook will loan The Blue Kimono, 1915, by William Merritt Chase. Caravaggio and his Circle in Rome (opening at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, June 2011 and traveling to the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth). Philbrook will loan Saint John the Baptist in the Wilderness by Tanzio da Varallo and will receive Saint Matthew, 1632 by Jusepe de Ribera in trade from the Kimbell. These cornerstones of our collection will be missed while away on loan. We do feel, however, that such partnerships make us stronger by broadening the visibility of Philbrook’s collection beyond this region and opening the doors for reciprocal exchange with other museums nationwide.

Spring is (almost) Here!
Grow To Give 2.0 Philbrook & the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma We had a very successful growing season and the fall harvest was no exception. At the end of the harvest, we have donated 2,810 pounds for 2010. That brings our two year total well over two tons of fresh vegetables and a project total of 4,310 pounds. We are planning the spring vegetable garden for 2011, and our goal is to donate another 1,000 pounds. Stay tuned for updates.
After two years without a spring bulb display, you will now have even more reasons to visit the gardens in March and April. In the East Formal Garden, orange Crown Imperial’s will stand tall above the yellow and orange Tahiti daffodils while purple grape hyacinths run amuck through the beds. In the Rock Garden, Narcissus ‘Topolino’ will gracefully nod among pastel windflowers and pansies. Around the gardens, you will see Primula, Crocus, Chionodoxa, and Violas, among the flowering Forsythia, redbuds, and dogwoods bringing the first signs of spring to our beautiful gardens. It will be a welcome sight after our long, cold winter.
What Happened to Our Arborvitae? Philbrook’s gardens are home to over 460 ‘Emerald’ Arborvitae and 55 ‘Green Giant’ Arborvitae. With such a large colony of one type of tree, we are able to really notice when something appears to be going wrong with the plants health. Our arborvitae trees began a rapid decline beginning in late July. The tips of the branches began to brown and patches of branches in the trees would die out completely. We became very concerned and began investigating the problem. Spider mites were found and miticides were applied. We discovered some fungal spores and applied fungicides. Our garden staff conducted soil fertility and pH tests and consulted with Tulsa County Extension Agent, Brian Jervis. Everyone came to the same conclusion: we were stumped (pun intended). So we called in the big guns: Oklahoma State University’s Extension Plant Pathologist and Entomologist. They visited the gardens, took away a couple of trees to test in their laboratories, and their conclusion: it’s the weather! After reviewing all of the museum’s records for the trees cultural care, the weather over the past three years, and laboratory researching, we have all determined that weather was the problem.

January through March
Arborvitaes all over the state of Oklahoma have been in a sharp decline after this summer’s extreme heat and humidity. Oklahoma is as far south as Arborvitae like to live. Temperatures over 100 degrees for so many days on end, and the lack of adequate rainfall during long dry spells, combined to create a perfect storm to reduce the plants vigor. We will be changing these trees in our gardens to a variety of trees better suited to the extremes of Oklahoma weather. As one of our most devoted trustees said, “Gardening is not for wimps.”

Friends of the Garden
Planned Giving
Many visitors marvel at the seasonal beauty of Philbrook’s gardens. In fact, the gardens are one of our most popular “galleries.” However, the gardens would not be as stunning without the support provided by the Friends of the Gardens. Their annual contributions* impact virtually everything that happens on the museum grounds. Friends of the Garden membership is $1,000 and open to any current Philbrook member.
Philbrook is the recipient of a generous bequest from long-time patron, Marylouise Cowan. Through February 13, 2011, fifteen Wyeth paintings will be exhibited on the Mezzanine. The legacy of the Wyeth family has been legendary in American art for three generations. N.C. Wyeth was among the most acclaimed illustrators of the early 20th century while his son Andrew became one of the most widely recognized artists of all time. This artistic tradition continues with Andrew’s son Jamie.

Juicy Statement Juicy Salif design Philippe Starck, 1990 This iconic item remains unparalleled in its ability to generate discussions about its meaning and design. As well as being the most controversial citrus fruit squeezer of all time (granted, not a ton of competition), it’s one of the single most important pieces of industrial design in the past 25 years. And to top it off, this item actually does an outstanding job. If great design is all about the marriage of form and function, there are few examples better than this.
