FROM THE DIRECTOR In December, the Portland Art Museum celebrates its 125th anniversary. It is a remarkable milestone that is a testament to the enduring quality of art, as well as the vision of our founders and the institutional leaders and supporters who followed. Founded in 1892, the Museum began as an art school, evolving into a dynamic center for the arts with objects from throughout the world and time, and programs that speak to and directly reflect our community.

Today, the Museum is an anchor in our city, state and region for inspiration, education and engagement. At this historic moment, past and present staff, board of trustees, councils, donors, members and supporters all feel a strong sense of pride. As we Reflect Forward—the theme of our anniversary year—we are motivated by those who came before us to ensure our institution flourishes for the next 125 years.

To commemorate our anniversary, this fall the Museum will inaugurate a range of programs that reflect the community’s passion for this institution, as well as this region. I am looking forward to holding a series of public conversations with our exceptional team of curators on the history and the future of our collections and exhibitions. Drawing from our Northwest collection, the Picturing Oregon exhibition celebrates the Museum’s history in this place, showing the geographic diversity of Oregon and the breadth of artistic perspectives the region inspires. This fall’s LAIKA exhibition showcases the talents and creative ethos at work in Portland—not just a creative scene, but a creator culture, infused with the spirit of individual imagination pulling toward a shared vision. Another special exhibition, The Wyeths: Three Generations, shows how a family of artists has found artistic inspiration through their own deep personal connections to place, whether in rural Pennsylvania or coastal Maine.

Many in our community grew up here; many others have chosen to make Oregon home. What draws us together is an appreciation for this place, its beauty, and its creative energy. As we look back at the Portland Art Museum’s past 125 years and look toward its future, we celebrate this region and the people who find inspiration here.

OCTOBER 14, 2017 – MAY 20, 2018

This fall, the Portland Art Museum and the Northwest Film Center celebrate Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA, a groundbreaking view behind the curtain into the visionary artistry and technology of the globally renowned animation studio.

At the heart of every LAIKA film are the artists who meticulously craft every element.

Through behind-the-scenes photography and video clips, as well as puppets, props, sets, and costumes from its films, visitors will be immersed in LAIKA’s creative process, exploring the production design, world-building and technology that have become the studio’s hallmark. Its films are a triumph of imagination,

ingenuity and craftsmanship and have redefined the limits of modern animation.

“Portland Art Museum and Northwest Film Center are thrilled to partner with LAIKA to present the wonders of this distinct enterprise,” said Brian Ferriso, The Marilyn H. and Dr. Robert B. Pamplin Jr. Director and Chief Curator of the Portland Art Museum. “LAIKA at its core is an artistic endeavor that embraces the past and infuses it with a 21st-century vision.

LAIKA’s aesthetic vocabulary continues to be shaped by the people and uniqueness of this special state.”

Established in Portland, Oregon, in 2005, LAIKA has produced four Oscar®-nominated features: Kubo and the Two Strings (2016),

The Boxtrolls (2014), ParaNorman (2012), and Coraline (2009). Among LAIKA’s many accolades is a 2016 Scientific and Technology Oscar® for its rapid prototyping system, which uses 3-D printers to revolutionize film production. Through technological and creative innovations, LAIKA is devoted to telling new and original stories in unprecedented ways.

“We believe storytelling is an important part of who we are,” said Travis Knight, President and CEO of LAIKA and the director of its most recent award-winning film, Kubo and the Two Strings. “LAIKA embraces our great privilege to tell stories by creating films that bring people together, kindle imaginations, and inspire people to dream. We are proud to be able to showcase our creative process through this

partnership with the Portland Art Museum, one of the country’s greatest art institutions, and the Northwest Film Center. Art in its finest forms speaks to our shared humanity, opening us up to new ways of thinking and feeling and helping us to recognize the hidden connectivity of all things. With this exhibit, LAIKA, PAM, and the Northwest Film Center have created something that can be part of that communal process of change and connection.”

During the course of the exhibition, the Northwest Film Center will present wideranging programming showcasing the studio’s work and surveying the evolution of stopmotion animation since before the turn of the 20th century. Along with film exhibition

programming, the Center will offer a range of animation classes, workshops, and visitingartist programs for students, artists, families, and community members of all ages, including exhibition offerings in the Global Classroom screening program for high-school students. A series of four family-friendly “LAIKA Sundays” devoted to each of LAIKA’s feature films (see page 30) will allow visitors to meet the artists behind the animation, take tours and workshops, and experience the films in the Whitsell Auditorium.

In a city renowned for its maker scene, Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA and its related film and educational programming will highlight the

intersection of art, craft, film, and technology.

Proudly embracing LAIKA’s unconventional, independent Portland spirit, the exhibition and programs will serve to celebrate the studio’s singular position in Portland and in the global film community.

THE WYETHS: THREE GENERATIONS Works from the Bank of America Collection OCTOBER 7, 2017 – JANUARY 28, 2018

Drawing from the Bank of America Collection, The Wyeths: Three Generations provides a revealing survey of works by N.C. Wyeth, one of America’s finest illustrators; his son Andrew, an important realist painter; Andrew’s son

Jamie, a popular portraitist; and members of the extended family. Visitors will explore 74 Wyeth paintings and drawings, all showcasing a commitment to realism, technical brilliance, and narrative sensibility.

N.C. Wyeth (American, 1882–1945) has long been considered one of the nation’s leading illustrators, a versatile artist who was able to traverse fantasy and realism. In the early 1900s, he studied with illustrator Howard Pyle in

Delaware. In 1911, he built a house and studio in nearby Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Later, he bought a sea captain’s house in Maine and in 1931 built a small studio, which he shared with his son Andrew and his daughters. The exhibition includes illustrations for books by Robert Louis Stevenson and Washington Irving, as well as historical scenes, seascapes, and landscapes that illuminate N.C.’s work.

Born 100 years ago, Andrew Wyeth (American, 1917–2009) is one of the United States’ most popular artists, known for his haunting, detailed paintings in the American Realist tradition. He was influenced by the works of Winslow Homer, whose watercolor technique he admired, as well as by the art of Howard Pyle and his father, N.C. While Andrew painted recognizable images, his use of line and space often imbue his works with an underlying abstract quality.

The exhibition includes important works from across his career.

Although not as well-known as her brother Andrew, Henriette Wyeth (American, 19071997) painted striking portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. She is also represented in the exhibition, as is her husband, Peter Hurd (American, 1904-1984), who chronicled the landscape of the American West.

Jamie Wyeth (American, b. 1946), like his father and grandfather, paints subjects of everyday life, turning his wry, playful eye to the landscape, animals, and people of Pennsylvania and Maine. In contrast to his father—who painted with watercolor, dry brush, and tempera—Jamie works in oil and mixed media, creating lush, painterly surfaces. The 17 paintings in the exhibition represent all periods of his career.

“We’re excited for our community to see the evolving legacy of one of America’s most illustrious artistic families,” said Brian Ferriso, The Marilyn H. and Dr. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. Director and Chief Curator of the Portland Art Museum. “As the Museum approaches its 125th anniversary this fall, it’s clear that a big part of our mission is to celebrate, support, and spark the spirit of creative inquiry that the Wyeths represent, from one generation to the

The Wyeths: Three Generations comes to Portland through Bank of America’s Art in Our Communities program, which has loaned more than 120 exhibitions worldwide since the program’s launch in 2008. A longstanding supporter of the Portland Art Museum’s mission, Bank of America made a lead $600,000 endowment gift in 2008 to support free access for all school tours at the Museum.

Thanks to this gift and to the other donors who joined with Bank of America, more than 1,000 schools and 30,000 students visit the Museum for free every year. In addition, Bank of America sponsors Museums on Us, which provides free access to Bank of America credit card holders over the first full weekend of every month at Portland Art Museum.

“We are delighted to support the Portland Art Museum and help give our communities an opportunity to see Wyeths’ rich contributions to our cultural heritage,” said Roger Hinshaw, Market President of Bank of America for Oregon and Southwest Washington. “Bank of America believes the arts matter: they help economies thrive, help individuals connect with each other and across cultures, and educate and enrich societies. We are proud to support more than 2,000 arts organizations worldwide that provide inspirational and educational sustenance to the communities we serve.”

The Museum will present public programs and tours in conjunction with the exhibition, including an opening lecture by Andrew’s granddaughter Victoria Wyeth—representing a fourth generation of Wyeths in art. For updates and more information, visit the Museum website.

IN THE BEGINNING Minor White’s Oregon Photographs DECEMBER 9, 2017 – MAY 6, 2018

Long before co-founding Aperture magazine or establishing the groundbreaking photography program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, renowned modernist photographer Minor White (American, 1908-1976) moved to Portland, where he sowed the seeds of what would become a forceful artistic vision.

This exhibition of White’s rarely seen early works celebrates the artist’s influence on the

region, and honors the Museum’s dedication to acquiring and exhibiting photography as the institution enters its 125th year.

In 1937, after traveling to Portland from Minnesota and taking up residence at the downtown YMCA, White joined the Oregon Camera Club, using its darkroom and library to hone his photography skills. He instituted a

darkroom, education, and exhibition program at the YMCA, and in 1938 was hired as a “creative photographer” for the Oregon Art Project, a division of the federal government’s Works Progress Administration. Charged with documenting the Front Avenue buildings slated for demolition as well as the waterfront factories, he captured the beauty of ironfront facades, the distinct forms of industrial architecture, and the cultural undercurrents of a city in transition. These photographs, much more than straightforward government documents, mark a critical period in Portland’s history and hold clues to White’s mature modernist approach.

In 1942, after touring the nation, White’s WPA images returned to Portland and became the first photographs to be accessioned into the Museum’s permanent collection. That same year, the Museum gave White his first solo exhibition and commissioned him to photograph two historic Portland homes. White was drafted into the Army later that spring, and although he never returned to live in the city, his bonds to the community remained strong, resulting in multiple Oregon-based workshops in the 1950s and 1960s. To this day he remains a significant influence on photographic practice in the Northwest and beyond.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Julia Dolan, Ph.D., the Minor White Curator of Photography.

KINGDOM ANIMALIA Animals in Print from Dürer to Picasso DECEMBER 2, 2017 – MAY 13, 2018

Furry, fierce, majestic, or sublime, animals have been featured in the graphic arts since the advent of printmaking. Mammals, fish, reptiles, and birds act as rich allegorical symbols, precise scientific specimens, and vehicles for pure formal expression. Drawn from the Museum’s collection, this exhibition offers a 500-year sampling of the wide-ranging depiction of the kingdom Animalia in prints, drawings, and posters, from the playful to the ferocious.

Artists as diverse as Albrecht Dürer, John James Audubon, Eugène Delacroix, and Pablo Picasso are joined by regional favorites Beth Van Hoesen and Gordon Gilkey, among others, in this lively exploration of artful animals.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings. This exhibition is supported in part by the Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Endowment for Graphic Arts and the Exhibition Series Sponsors. Promotional partner: Oregon Humane Society.

CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY NATIVE ART

INTERWOVEN RADIANCE NOVEMBER 11, 2017 – JUNE 24, 2018

Organized by Tlingit artist and weaver Lily Hope, this upcoming exhibition in the Museum’s Center for Contemporary Native Art will celebrate the artistic achievements and vitality of Chilkat and Ravenstail weavers of the Northwest Coast—illuminating the philosophy and ways of life for women weavers.

Placing on view for the first time a traceable lineage of female Chilkat weaver-teachers in the collection of the Portland Art Museum, the exhibition will feature Clarissa Rizal’s Resilience Robe, completed in 2014, as well as Lily Hope’s Heritage Robe, completed earlier this year. The exhibition will also include a series of Ravenstail robes from Teri Rofkar of Sitka, Alaska, who was a scientist and historian, using all the ancient traditional materials in her masterful works.

10 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

Finally, the exhibition will feature a robe called Weavers Across the Waters, a communitywoven robe including work by more than 40 weavers from the Northwest Coast and into Canada, all of whom contributed an original weaving to the full-size robe.

The cultural practice of Chilkat weaving originated among the Tsimshian, and was retained by traditional Tlingit weavers in the Chilkat Valley of Alaska. Weaving these textiles took months of preperation, including harvesting cedar bark and processing mountain goat hair. The weavers spin earth and animal together by hand for more than six weeks to create the 1,000 yards of warp needed to weave ceremonial robes. Robes are woven on an upright loom, with all tension controlled

by the weaver’s fingers. Most robes take more than a year to finish. “A woman who maintains the continuity of weaving values the way of life and what it means to be a true descendant of a Master Chilkat Weaver,” said Hope. “We are propelled to engage in a dialogue that reevaluates a system that largely overlooks or underappreciates Native women artists of the Northwest Coast.”

DAWN CERNY OCTOBER 28, 2017 – FEBRUARY 11, 2018

Dawn Cerny’s works are at once formal and reductive while existing in a realm of the playful and ridiculous. The Seattle artist’s newest sculptures and works on paper resemble familiar forms that suggest furniture and domestic objects occupying our interior spaces.

Sculptures created from cardboard, fiberglass, and bright, matte colors exude levity while calling our attention to their form.

In her sculptural work, the objects seductively draw in viewers to contemplate their function, texture, and relation to the human body.

Simultaneously, these same works reject the more traditional notions of sculpture and furniture, existing in an awkward place in between. They are gloppy objects that embrace a different kind of abstraction. Amassed within the galleries, their collective presence may evoke the space of a home or independent figures standing together in a room.

Cerny likens her work to Buster Keaton’s slapstick comedy as “an absurdist response to the productive rationalism of modern times— one that both represents and is alienated from everyday life.” Cerny’s work has been exhibited at many venues including Henry Art Gallery in Seattle; Or Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia; Night Gallery in Los Angeles; and Derek Eller Gallery in New York. This will be her first exhibition in Portland.

CRAFTSMANSHIP AND WIT Modern Japanese Prints from the Collection of Carol and Seymour Haber NOVEMBER 4, 2017 – APRIL 1, 2018

This fall, the Museum will celebrate the legacy of Carol (1932–2015) and Seymour Haber (1929– 2012), longtime friends of and donors to the Portland Art Museum. Drawn exclusively from gifts and promised gifts from the Habers, this exhibition explores their personal vision and brilliant, insightful taste for Japanese modern art.

The Habers were astute connoisseurs of fine craftsmanship, which led them to assemble an impressively diverse collection of prints, books, and ceramics by contemporary Japanese artists.

They loved to host visiting artists from Japan, and often had wonderful anecdotes about how they acquired their works. The selection presented here includes the work of internationally renowned masters, such as Munakata Shikō, whose bold monochrome woodblock prints redefined the possibilities of that time-honored process, and Hamaguchi Yōzō, whose meticulous mezzotints inspired an entire generation to take up that demanding technique. Other artists, less well known in the West but equally fascinating, include Ida Shōichi, a conceptual artist known for his innovative printmaking processes, and Kurosaki Akira, whose vividly colored abstractions often disguise a naughty sense of humor. The collection reveals an abiding attraction to rich color and textures, and to works with a sense of humor, charm, and whimsy.

Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Jeannie Kenmotsu, Ph.D., Japan Foundation Assistant Curator for Japanese Art.

PICTURING OREGON AUGUST 19, 2017 – AUGUST 2019

On the eve of the Museum’s 125th anniversary, Picturing Oregon offers an extraordinary opportunity to reflect on the importance of place and to celebrate the incredible geographic diversity of Oregon, as well as the artists whose work it inspired.

With its wide-ranging climate and expansive range of natural features, Oregon’s landscape has long been an inspiration for artists. The western side boasts miles of coastline offering vistas of dunes and spires, while abundant rain cycles further inland result in dense, forested mountains, mossy urban areas, and bountiful agriculture. Set in the rain shadow of the Cascades, arid Eastern Oregon is characterized by desert landforms and vast, dramatic terrain.

Picturing Oregon presents paintings and photographs inspired by the distinct regions

of the state—the Coast, Greater Portland, Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge, Willamette Valley, Central Oregon, Eastern Oregon, and Southern Oregon. The exhibition features works from the late 1800s, including Oregon’s pioneer period, and touches on contemporary pieces—all from the Museum’s permanent collection.

Celebrated artists depicting this diverse ecological state include William Samuel Parrott, Charles McKim, C.E.S. Wood (a Portland Art Museum founder), Childe Hassam, and Charles Heaney, among others. Louis Bunce, Amanda Snyder, Michael Brophy, and Roll Hardy offer an abstract and a contemporary lens to the landscape. Picturing Oregon will also feature a selection of photography, which has served an important role in capturing the region, including

works by Lily White, Myra Albert Wiggins, Sarah Ladd, Drex Brooks, and Douglas Frank.

One of the true stars of the exhibition is Childe Hassam’s Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert (1908).

Beyond depicting the stunning Eastern Oregon expanse, the painting represents an important moment in the Museum’s history. Hassam was a friend of C.E.S. Wood, and on his second visit to Oregon in 1908, the pair traveled east to the Harney desert.

In these paintings, Hassam captures the stretch of land with a low horizon. The texture of the clouds provides a sense of motion in the sky, while the bright, yellow shrub reflects the driest time of the season. A month after Hassam and Wood’s excursion, the Museum presented an exhibition of the paintings, and Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert became the first purchase

of original art to enter the collection, thereby establishing a foundation of not only exemplary work, but also one that reflects a dedication to the region.

In the century since Hassam’s visit, the Museum has remained dedicated to supporting and celebrating our unique landscape with the formation of the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Northwest Art in 2004 to support the care and growth of the collection, exhibitions, and publications, overseen by a curator with a focus on the region. A strong contemporary look at the region is supported through the APEX series and the biannual Contemporary Northwest Art Awards.

The Museum has broadened access to Northwest art through the digitization of nearly 10,000 works, made possible by 2012–2015 funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and National Endowment for the

Humanities, making the collection available online. Additionally, the Museum’s library and archives primarily focus on Northwest art and artists, allowing for rich opportunities for deepening our knowledge and understanding of the region.

OBJECT STORIES Igniting Voices SEPTEMBER 2, 2017 – FEBRUARY 4, 2018

Object Stories is a personal storytelling project and exhibition series hosted by the Portland Art Museum. Upon launch in 2010, Object Stories became a first of its kind in the museum field and continues to innovate today. The project has grown the application of storytelling with objects from a way to interrupt the traditional authoritative museum voice into a platform where Portland and the Pacific Northwest’s many communities can directly address issues affecting their lives. Object Stories helps drive the Museum to become a safe and responsive space open for dialogue, conversation, and the exchange of ideas. The gallery has recently hosted veterans, members of sexual and gender minorities, and persons who are deaf or hard of hearing.

This fall through early winter the Object Stories gallery features Igniting Voices, an exhibition sharing the life and work of six social justice activists in the Pacific Northwest: Joshua Thomas, Hunger Free Oregon Task Force and Oregon Food Bank; Laura Krouse, Planned Parenthood; Joseph Lowe and Mathew Denney, Disability Rights Oregon; Fatima Preciado, Causa; and Luann Algoso, formerly of Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon.

Through personal stories and their related objects, Igniting Voices aims to dismantle barriers and inform, encourage, and inspire local citizens to share their own voices to create community inclusion.

RODRIGO VALENZUELA Labor Standards OCTOBER 21, 2017 – APRIL 22, 2018

This exhibition in the Jubitz Center for Modern and Contemporary Art features two videos by Rodrigo Valenzuela (born 1982 in Chile, lives and works in Los Angeles). Each explores a specific aspect of labor in the United States today. Prole (2015) follows a group of Spanishspeaking men as they casually move about an empty room discussing the way they work, how they present themselves as laborers, and their views of unionizing. Valenzuela’s newest work, The Unwaged (2017), debuts in this exhibition and looks at the contentious position of the unpaid intern in the contemporary workplace.

The video will be a compilation of interviews with people who have worked for free with the promise of a career-building opportunity. The Unwaged makes a connection between personal endurance and surviving the stress of what the artist calls “capital oppression.” As an immigrant to the U.S., Valenzuela constructs his stories from autobiographical threads and broadens these moments to embrace larger fields of experience through his skill at interviewing his subjects. His videos come to life through a

range of cinematographic techniques that lend his films a dual sense of formality and intimacy.

Ultimately, Valenzuela’s work reflects on the potential and the challenge of the individual acting within the socio-political arena.

Organized by Portland Art Museum and curated by Sara Krajewski, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.

MUSEUM WELCOMES NEW ASSISTANT CURATOR OF JAPANESE ART Japan Foundation grant also supports exhibitions and renovations

The Museum is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Jeannie Kenmotsu as the Japan Foundation Assistant Curator of Japanese Art, a new position funded by a special five-year grant from the Japan Foundation. Dr. Kenmotsu, who joined the Museum on June 5, 2017, recently completed her Ph.D. in Art History at the University of Pennsylvania.

Kenmotsu’s primary responsibility will be to research, interpret, and organize biannual exhibitions of the Museum’s outstanding collection of more than 2,700 traditional and contemporary Japanese prints. Her first Portland Art Museum exhibition, Craftsmanship and Wit: Modern Japanese Prints from the Collection of Carol and Seymour Haber, opens November 4 (see page 11).

A native of Austin, Texas, who graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Pomona College with a major in English, Kenmotsu’s interest in art history was kindled during an undergraduate internship at the Getty Museum in illuminated manuscripts and a year working at a New York gallery specializing in contemporary Chinese art. In her graduate work at the University of Pennsylvania, she quickly gravitated to 18thcentury Japanese prints and illustrated books.

Her doctoral dissertation focused on early

woodblock-printed books published in color before the usually accepted date of 1765 as the introduction of full-color printing. In addition to teaching at the University of Pennsylvania and Scripps College, she has been involved in numerous curatorial projects. She has received many honors including a Japan Foundation Dissertation Fellowship and a three-year Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography from the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia.

The Museum is deeply grateful to the Japan Foundation for its support for the Assistant Curator position, in the form of a Museum Infrastructure Grant of just over $485,000.

The grant will also underwrite Japanese exhibition and gallery renovation costs over a five-year period.

“Jeannie Kenmotsu’s interests span both the global advent of color printing as well as uniquely Japanese circumstances of production,” says Maribeth Graybill, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art. “She is an ideal fit for the strengths of our collections, and will carry on the legacy of print expert Donald Jenkins, the Museum’s longtime curator of Asian art.”

FIVE BUDDHAS HOMECOMING In June, a delegation from the Portland Art Museum traveled to Korea as the guests of the Songgwangsa Monastery to see the Five Buddhas painting. The 18th-century work had disappeared from Songgwangsa a half-century earlier, then was found in poor condition in a Seoul antique shop by collector Robert Mattielli, who later loaned the carefully conserved work to the Museum. When visiting scholars from Korea’s National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage discovered that the painting was part of an ensemble created

for Songgwangsa, Robert and Sandra Mattielli readily agreed to repatriate the painting. The Museum worked with them and the Korean Cultural Heritage Administration to facilitate the process. After an exhibition and symposium at the Museum last fall, Five Buddhas returned to Korea in December 2016.

in Korea. In gratitude, Songgwangsa invited them and a group of Museum leaders, curators, and Asian Art Council members to see the painting installed in a new museum at the monastery. The Museum group’s weeklong trip to Korea packed in visits to ancient palaces, modern museums, and artists’ studios.

The return of Five Buddhas marked a significant moment in U.S.-Korean cultural relations as a model of cultural heritage repatriation. By willingly donating the painting to the monastery, the Mattiellis won profound honor and respect

IN MEMORIAM Melvin “Pete” Mark, Jr. 1926–2017

The Museum notes with great sadness the passing of an extraordinary, dedicated leader and supporter, Melvin “Pete” Mark, Jr. Pete and his late wife, Mary, began their exceptional commitment to and investment in the city and its people more than six decades ago. Pete and Mary visited Portland on their honeymoon in 1951, and they instantly knew they wanted to build a career and raise a family here.

Pete and Mary were involved with the Museum for more 30 years, as members, trustees, and Ella Hirsch Legacy Society members. Pete served on the Board of Trustees for more than 27 years and as chair from 1990 to 1996. He and Mary were honored in 2008 as Life Trustees, the Board’s most distinguished recognition.

Pete was active in all aspects of leadership at the Museum, contributing his time and talent on the Executive, Finance Operations, and two Director Search Committees of the Board.

Pete and Mary, along with fellow Life Trustees Arlene and the late Harold Schnitzer, were the most generous supporters in the 125-year

history of the Museum. They supported many special exhibitions, and took leadership roles in numerous capital projects, most notably the North Wing expansion and renovation of the former Masonic Temple, which now bears the family name—The Mark Building. Pete and Mary were also collectors of art, and their gifts to the Museum include important works such as Paul Gauguin’s Vue d’un jardin, Rouen (1884), Gustave Courbet’s Pommes, poires et raisins sur une table (ca. 1871/1873), and Severin Roesen’s Still Life of Flowers and Fruit (1870-1872), which can be seen in the galleries today.

Pete’s extraordinary dedication to the Museum and the city can be seen every day as visitors experience art in the galleries and community groups gather in the Mark Building’s historic ballrooms.

“We have lost a remarkable friend to our community, and to my family and me,” said Brian Ferriso, Director and Chief Curator. “Pete Mark’s leadership and commitment to making the Museum a better place for the city he treasured, however, will always be remembered through the institution that he loved so dearly.”

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER

ANIMATING THE COMMUNITY Since its founding, the Northwest Film Center has shaped and championed Portland’s thriving animation scene.

The Northwest Film Center’s co-presentation of Animating Life: The Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA is just the latest reflection of the Film Center’s longstanding commitment to the art of animation—and to the animators who create worlds of their own.

From its inception in 1971, the Film Center has supported Northwest animators in a variety of ways, from production classes, access to equipment, and fellowships to showcasing outstanding work in the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival.

It’s not a coincidence that the Film Center’s earliest publication was called The Animator.

22 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM

“We have always championed the idea that the Film Center should be a community animator,” said Film Center Director Bill Foster. “The name was meant metaphorically, but it also works literally.”

Perhaps it’s due to the region’s rainy weather, which lends itself to indoor creative pursuits, or to the area’s deep commitment to the visual arts, but animation has flourished in the Pacific Northwest, and particularly in Portland. “There has always been a strong relationship between animators in the region and the Film Center,” said Ben Popp, the Film Center’s Filmmaker Services Manager.

During the upcoming Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival (November 1-5), the Film Center will highlight and celebrate six of the region’s top female animators—Joanna Priestley, Joan Gratz, Rose Bond, Ruth Hayes, Gail Noonan, and Marilyn Zornado—with a showcase of their work. “All of them have made remarkable films and really pushed open the doors, especially about the idea of representation,” said Popp.

Priestley’s connections to the Film Center run deep. She first worked as the film librarian and later, the regional services coordinator. She took an animation class with award-winning filmmaker Roger Kukes, which changed the course of her career.

It was in Kukes’ class that Priestley completed her first animated film, The Rubber Stamp Film.

Since then, she has made many other short films featuring a variety of animation styles, from object and puppet animation to 2-D and 3-D computer work.

TOP: Veteran Portland animator Joanna Priestley; LEFT: Animation film campers at work on a project.

Animating Life consulting curator Rose Bond, who lives and works in Portland, also studied at the Film Center with Kukes. Since then, her short films have been screened in international competitions including Sundance and the New York Film Festival. Although her roots are in frame-by-frame, hand-drawn, and direct animation, her current work focuses on public site-based animated installations.

Both Zornado, a director, motion-graphics artist, calligrapher, and book artist, and Gratz, the Oscar-winning innovator (Mona Lisa Descending a Staircase) of an animation style known as clay painting, worked with Will Vinton Studios. Vinton, the Academy Awardwinning (Closed Mondays with co-director Bob Gardiner) creator of ClaymationTM and founder of Will Vinton Studios, the precursor to LAIKA, teaches animation intensives at the Film Center.

Based in Olympia, Washington, Ruth Hayes animates with flipbooks, zoetropes, and other pre-cinema devices, as well as in film and digital formats. Gail Noonan, who lives in Vancouver, B.C., makes films that rely on humor and

outrageous animation to tackle misconceptions about female-related topics such as body image and menopause.

In addition to access to equipment and exhibition, the Film Center also supports artists through the Oregon Media Arts Fellowship, which provides financial and other support for enabling new work in Oregon. Since the Fellowship was established in 2008, many animators have received the recognition, including Rose Bond, Kurtis Hough, Elijah Hasan, Chel White, and Ben Popp.

But it’s the Film Center’s educational programs that really animate the community, especially the next generation of animators. Early community outreach projects had animators go into schools throughout Oregon to expose children to animation. “Our animation teachers would literally get in their car or truck and drive around the state teaching kids animation,” said Ellen Thomas, the Film Center’s Education Director.

by the Film Center’s robust summer camp attendance and the many animation entries the Film Center receives for its annual Fresh Film Northwest teen film festival, which is included in the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival.

“Just like they have been since the ’70s, kids are fascinated by stop-motion animation,” said Thomas. “It’s all digital now, but it’s the same creative process and form of self expression.”

Summer camp classes teach students to work with paper, clay, and objects to create characters, backdrops and props to record their own animated short stories. And the legacy of Portland’s earlier generations lives on. Maddie Loftesnes, a protégée of Rose Bond’s, teaches stop-motion to kids and teens at the Film Center today.

Information on the Northwest Film Center’s animation class and camp offerings for all ages and experience levels can be found at nwfilm.org/ classes.

Today, interest in animation among young people is stronger than ever, as evidenced

ANIMATED WORLDS: STOP MOTION CLASSICS Stop motion animation has a history as long as cinema itself and a tremendous body of accomplished work by animators from throughout the world.

While the bar has been set high, it hasn’t stopped Portland’s LAIKA from raising it with each release, with four remarkable features completed to date.

In conjunction with Animating Life: the Art, Science, and Wonder of LAIKA, the Northwest Film Center will feature LAIKA’s work along with some of the classics of the genre on Sundays throughout the exhibition’s run. Along with the screenings, look for a range of family and adult production activities that will give the opportunity for firsthand appreciation of the magic of animation. The screenings are free with admission to the Museum.

Miller Family Free Day PORTLAND ART MUSEUM 125TH BIRTHDAY PARTY DECEMBER 10, 10–5 P.M.

On December 12 the Portland Art Museum turns 125 years old! Help us celebrate with a family-friendly day of art making, gallery experiences, tours, and cake! Check the Museum’s website for more details.

In Dialogue is an occasional series of interdisciplinary, discussion-based seminars that explore art on view at the Museum in relation to works in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. During the 2017–18 program year, we will investigate the idea of “artist as citizen.” How do artists participate in our social and political world through their artwork? Taking inspiration from Professor of Music Darrell Grant and other PSU faculty, we will consider how “artists from a variety of disciplines intersect with institutions, social movements, and power structures; engage with communities; and connect with place.”

The October seminar will address the special exhibition Representing: Vernacular Photographs of, by, and for African Americans (July 29 – December 3, 2017).

Space is limited. Registration required. This series is co-sponsored by Portland State University– University Studies. Cost per session: $10 Members/$19.99 non-member.

Family programs are generously supported in part

by Sharon L. Miller and Family, the Gordon D. Sondland and Katherine J. Durant Foundation, the Lamb Baldwin Foundation, and the Joseph E. Weston Public Foundation.

All talks begin at 12:30 p.m. Space is limited.

Advance tickets recommended. Program departs from the Main Entrance Lobby.

UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL PROGRAMS ARE FREE FOR MEMBERS. SPACE MAY BE LIMITED. ADVANCE TICKETS ARE RECOMMENDED AND AVAILABLE ONLINE OR ON-SITE.

For a list of speakers and topics, please visit the Museum’s website.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS Live Through This JAN VERWOERT, INDEPENDENT CURATOR, CRITIC, AND WRITER ON CONTEMPORARY ART

PUBLIC TOURS Join museum docents for gallery tours and other experiences at various times throughout the week.

Public tours depart from the Park Avenue entrance on the following days and times: 1 P.M. TUESDAY & THURSDAY 6 P.M. FRIDAY (SLOW LOOKING) 12:30 & 3 P.M. SATURDAY 12:30 P.M. SUNDAY (FAMILY) 3 P.M. SUNDAY

NOVEMBER 9, 6 P.M.

An influential cultural theorist based in Berlin, Jan Verwoert will address the existential condition of critical writing. “The model of one person passing judgment on others has become ridiculous,” he says. “Art, life, politics—we’re in it together after all, even and especially now that societies are forcefully split. What does it take for a voice to articulate intuitions and observations in a manner that allows for very different people to relate to a public thinking process? Urban satire can do it. Is this because laughing at the state of the world awakens a sense of grotesque, yet fateful connectedness?”

This lecture is made possible by Connective Conversations, Curator and Critic Tours and Lectures, a partnership between The Ford Family Foundation and the University of Oregon School of Art and Design.

THE ART OF CREATING A LEGACY Make a Tax-Free Gift from Your IRA If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, you can make a tax-free gift from your individual retirement account (IRA) directly to the Portland Art Museum.

This law no longer has an expiration date, so you are free to make annual gifts to qualified charitable organizations from your IRA this year and well into the future.

How It Works

Make an Impact Today

We Can Help

You must be 70 1/2 or older at the time of your gift.

By making a gift this year, you can make an immediate impact on our work while putting the wheels in motion to create a philanthropic legacy.

Contact Karie Burch at karie.burch@pam.org or 503-276-4240 to learn more about this taxsmart way to support the Portland Art Museum.

You may transfer any amount up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to a qualified charitable organization.

The transfer is not considered to be taxable income, and therefore does not generate an income tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.

The information in this publication is not intended as legal or tax advice. For such advice, please consult an attorney or tax advisor. Figures cited in examples are for hypothetical purposes only and are subject to change. References to estate and income taxes include federal taxes only. State income/estate taxes or state law may impact your results.

If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
