FROM THE DIRECTOR This fall, the Portland Art Museum is honored to present Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. The largest retrospective of Andy Warhol prints ever assembled, this major exhibition of more than 250 prints and ephemera captures the artist’s vast range of subject matter over three decades of production, taking visitors far beyond his iconic Campbell’s soup cans and portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Chairman Mao and Mick Jagger. It is a visual journey that should leave all who view the exhibition with a deep appreciation of this leading figure of 20th-century art. Curator Sara Krajewski, the Museum’s Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, had the extraordinary opportunity to select these prints from more than 600 Warhol works in the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his family foundation. Jordan is one of the country’s most significant contemporary print collectors and one of the region’s most generous philanthropists. He and his foundation lend work from their collections with a mission of inspiring and educating about the importance of contemporary art and the collaborative and inventive nature of printmaking. Jordan Schnitzer has followed the family commitment of giving back to the community begun by his late father Harold and mother Arlene, a life trustee of the Museum who continues to be one of our most important patrons. We are grateful to Jordan and the Foundation not only for sharing his collection and partnering with us to publish the exhibition catalog, but also for being a strong advocate about how art can change lives. Throughout the Museum, you will notice different ways the Museum collaborates with Portland’s creative and nonprofit communities to connect people with art and culture. For the Warhol exhibition, we worked again with local powerhouse Ziba Design, who helped us kick off a new era of innovative community engagement with China Design Now in 2009, and in November we are partnering again with Literary Arts to host the tremendously popular Wordstock event. Our most essential partners in sharing art with the community, however, are members like you. Thank you again for joining us in this important work, and enjoy this season of art.

andy warhol PRINTS FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF JORDAN D. SCHNITZER AND HIS FAMILY FOUNDATION OCTOBER 8, 2016 – JANUARY 1, 2017
The Portland Art Museum is pleased to present Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, opening October 8, 2016. This major exhibition of approximately 250 Andy Warhol prints and ephemera from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his family foundation will be the

most comprehensive display of the Pop Art master’s prints ever mounted, spanning two floors of the Museum and including instantly recognizable images such as Warhol’s iconic Campbell’s Soup Can (Tomato) and Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn). Printmaking was a vital artistic practice for Andy Warhol. Prints figure prominently
throughout his career, from his earliest work as a commercial illustrator in the 1950s to the collaborative silkscreens made in the Factory during the ’60s and the commissioned portfolios of his final years. Portland collector Jordan D. Schnitzer’s extensive collection establishes the range of Warhol’s innovative graphic production as it evolved over the course of four decades. The artist’s well-known fascination with popular culture also instills the exhibition with a chronicle of American life in the second half of the 20 century. The two threads come together to reveal how Warhol’s

works that display the artist’s touch, instead celebrating print multiples as a medium for experimentation. “Andy Warhol harnessed the allure of media images of celebrity, consumer goods, sex, death, and disaster to create his iconic pop art,” said exhibition curator Sara Krajewski, the Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. “This retrospective provides an in-depth look at how the artist manipulated the seductive power of the photographic and the televisual in his printmaking. Thirty-five years of prints offer a compelling view of Warhol’s critical use of new imaging formats and technologies, from newsprint distribution to instant cameras, television and video. Our survey of Warhol’s vast print production demonstrates Warhol’s impact on the evolution of contemporary visual culture.”
print publishing enterprise underscores the evolution of today’s hyper-sophisticated, saturated, and savvy visual culture. The exhibition is organized chronologically and by series. A dynamic exhibition design created in collaboration with local firm Ziba Design will transform the galleries and transport visitors through the significant eras of Warhol’s career. The structure demonstrates Warhol’s use of different printmaking techniques, beginning with illustrated books and ending with screen printing. The exhibition also highlights links between Warhol’s obsession with serial image repetition and the essence of printmaking as a mechanical means for reproducing images. With this convergence, Warhol famously complicated distinctions between the original and the reproduction. The results muddied the conventional approach of highly valuing unique
Warhol’s prints present a journey through the reproduced image in American popular culture: from icons Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to the socially charged Birmingham civil rights protests and political posters of the 1970s. In its entirety, the exhibition offers a bellwether of contemporary life and society’s ongoing obsession with celebrities, fashion, political figures, athletes, sensationalism, and scandal.

CORITA KENT Spiritual Pop AUGUST 13, 2016 – JANUARY 29, 2017
This autumn, the playful and powerful Pop art of Corita Kent fills the Copeland Gallery. Kent, a nun widely known as Sister Corita, was an important artist, teacher, and activist who gained international fame for her vibrant, revolutionary screenprints. Corita Kent: Spiritual Pop is timed to coincide with Andy Warhol: Prints from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, offering viewers two unique perspectives on the vibrant Pop art scene of the 1960s. Born Frances Elizabeth Kent in 1918, Kent joined the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and selected the name “Mary Corita” when she took her vows. She taught art at Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles and began screenprinting in the 1950s, creating dense, expressionist work based on Biblical passages. As the ’60s dawned, Kent came to believe that all subjects were holy, and thus
worthy of artistic attention. This coincided with her introduction to the work of Andy Warhol in the summer of 1962, whose elevation of modest Campbell’s soup into icons of modernity confirmed Kent’s inclination to embrace the quotidian as well as the divine. Rather than copy Warhol, however, Kent, already an established artist in her own right, created her own “spiritual pop.” She combined elements of Pop art, Vatican II dogma, and her quirky sensibility, resulting in work that was vernacular, experimental, playful, and often quite subversive. The New York Times, noting their kindred spirits and parallel themes, quipped that Kent “did for bread and wine what Andy Warhol did for tomato soup.” Kent embraced L.A.’s jumbled, chaotic cityscape as a source of inspiration for her lively screenprints. For Kent, the advertisements, street signs, and billboards were not, as some
saw them, blights on the environment, but rather the equivalent of urban psalms for the modern world. She often appropriated advertising slogans and juxtaposed them with poetry, scripture, and song lyrics, repurposing them for her messages of social justice and hope. In 1968, exhausted from her teaching schedule and the mounting tensions with the conservative archdiocese of Los Angeles, Kent left the city and the Immaculate Heart order, relocating to Boston. Her work underwent another decisive change as she turned to a more universal language of peace and personal growth; she died of cancer in Boston in 1986. Corita Kent: Spiritual Pop includes nearly 50 prints that show the full range of Kent’s career, from her earliest experiments to her bold Pop icons and her final, quieter, inspirational work. The exhibition is drawn from the collection of the Portland Art Museum, with additional works graciously lent by the Corita Art Center, Los Angeles. 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.

STEVE MCQUEEN: DRUMROLL AUGUST 20 – DECEMBER 11, 2016
Drumroll (1998) is a kinesthetic wonder, an innovative portrait of New York City, and a dynamic metaphor for urban life. This immersive video installation by renowned artist Steve McQueen surrounds the viewer with sound, flashes of light, and discombobulated images. To create it, McQueen modified a barrel by cutting holes in either end and the center and mounted three video cameras inside it, each camera focused on an aperture. He then proceeded to roll the drum down several
Manhattan streets. The resulting footage shows simultaneous, rotating views of the city: from close-ups of pavement to glimpses of sky above. In 1999, McQueen won the prestigious Turner Prize for Drumroll. In contrast to his early silent, black-and-white films, Drumroll was a leap forward, a room-filling experiment in the impact of sound and multiple viewpoints to disorient and reorient. McQueen is the acclaimed director of feature-length films Hunger (2008)
and Twelve Years a Slave (2013), for which he won an Academy Award. Drumroll is presented at the Portland Art Museum in conjunction with Open This End: Contemporary Art from the Collection of Blake Byrne, on view through December 11 at the Ronna and Eric Hoffman Gallery of Contemporary Art at Lewis & Clark College. Support for this installation is provided by the Skylark Foundation and the Exhibition Series Sponsors.
VISUALIZING SOUND SEPTEMBER 24 – DECEMBER 31, 2016
This fall, the Museum’s Object Stories gallery features an exhibition developed in partnership with CymaSpace, a Portland-based nonprofit dedicated to creating cultural events for the deaf and hard of hearing community. Visualizing Sound includes a range of experiments with cymatics, the study of making sound visible, as well as stories from CymaSpace members about their relationships and attitudes towards deafness and creating communal art. One exciting highlight of the project is an interactive wall-sized installation of LED lights that respond to sounds in the gallery (see right). For more information about CymaSpace, visit cymaspace.org.
The Portland Art Museum offers a variety of services to ensure that every visitor has an equal opportunity to engage with art. Learn more about Museum accessibility at portlandartmuseum.org/accessibility. The community opening event for Visualizing Sound is September 29, 5:30 – 7 p.m., in the Stevens Room, Museum Lower Level.

to repair and remount paintings. Mr. Ki argued against cutting up the painting, even though there were large areas of loss. He flattened and cleaned the painting, and framed it as it is seen today. For many years, the painting adorned the dining room of the Mattielli home in Seoul, where it was seen by a large circle of friends, both Korean and foreign. When Robert Mattielli and his wife, Sandra, moved back to Oregon in 1985, the Five Buddhas traveled with them. Robert and Sandra Mattielli have been passionate advocates for Korean art here in Portland, donating outstanding paintings, ceramics, and craftworks to the Museum. In the summer of 2014, they approached the Museum about donating the Five Buddhas—just in time for the painting to be examined by a team of visiting scholars from the Korean National Research Institute for Cultural Heritage. NRICH was conducting a survey of the Museum’s holdings with a plan to publish a bilingual catalog.
FIVE BUDDHAS A Korean Icon’s Journey through Time SEPTEMBER 3 – DECEMBER 4, 2016
During the three decades he lived in Seoul, Robert Mattielli often visited the cluster of antique shops in Mary’s Alley (Anguk-dong). One day in the early 1970s, he was browsing when a “picker” came into a shop with a cart loaded with chests. The shop owner bought the cartload. Mattielli was looking over one of the chests and noticed a tattered and folded painting inside. A few weeks later he came back, hoping to buy the chest, but it had already been sold. The painting, however, had been tossed

in a back corner of the shop with packing boxes and cleaning supplies. Mattielli unfolded it and saw that it was a depiction of Five Buddhas. In those days, many temples were refurbishing their worship halls, and Buddhist paintings often appeared on the market. This one was falling apart, but he thought it might be salvageable, if only in fragments. The shop owner said he could have it for $10.
Several months later, NRICH reported their discovery that the Five Buddhas painting had been stolen from Songgwangsa, a famous Zen temple located in the mountains in the southwestern part of Korea, sometime in the early 1970s. The news was a stunning surprise, and the Mattiellis quickly offered to repatriate the painting to Korea. At the Museum’s suggestion, it was agreed to do so after a special exhibition and symposium, so American audiences could view and learn about this exceptional work. The Museum is grateful to the Korean Cultural Heritage Administration for sponsoring this project, and to the Mildred Schnitzer Memorial Lecture Fund for cosponsoring the symposium. Curated by Maribeth Graybill, Ph.D., The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Asian Art. A special symposium on the Five Buddhas will take place at the Museum on December 3, 1–4 p.m. For more information, see page 32.

CRANES, DRAGONS, AND TEDDY BEARS Japanese Children’s Kimono from the Collection of Marita and David Paly OCTOBER 22, 2016 – MARCH 26, 2017
Throughout history, in most of the world, children’s clothing was simply a smaller version of what was worn by adults. In Japan, the kimono was the universal garment, worn by men and women of all ages. While children often wore hand-me-downs from their elders, for special occasions the preference was for garments with auspicious motifs, such as cranes and dragons—symbols of long life. Seven of the 20 works in this exhibition are miyamairi kimono, spectacular works with handpainted designs made for a toddler’s first visit to a Shinto shrine. Others show a dazzling variety of patterns and dyeing techniques, including
kasuri (where the threads are tie-dyed before being strung on the loom) and tsutsugaki (a resist technique where designs are drawn on the cloth with rice paste). Of special interest are the omoshirogara, the “novelty designs” that came into vogue in the 1910s through 1930s. Often playful in nature, these feature modern imagery such as airplanes and teddy bears. Spanning from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, the kimono and banners in the Paly collection evoke the magic of childhood in traditional Japan.

AROUND THE GALLERIES BY PAUL RUDOLPH PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER, FORMER @IGERS_PORTLAND COMMUNITY MANAGER, AND PROLIFIC INSTAGRAMMER @THEPAULRUDOLPH
The photo- and video-sharing application Instagram has changed the way visitors document and engage with works of art at museums around the world. The social media platform, whose name is a nod to the original square shape of Kodak Instamatic film, enables users to share images with followers, and discover searchable photos from users all over the globe. As a newcomer to both Portland and Instagram a handful of years ago, it was gratifying to watch my circle expand both geographically and physically as recorded in the social media app. It became clear that people see essentially the same thing but through very different lenses—as when an Instagrammer uses the app to record and share their experiences at the Museum. So what are some of the most Instagrammed installations at Portland Art Museum?
Several of the Impressionist paintings are frequently photographed, but Claude Monet’s Nymphéas (Waterlilies) is a standout. Name recognition and subject matter no doubt contribute to its popularity, but what other factors make it ripe to an Instagrammer’s eye? The vivid palette translates well digitally, and Impressionist works are a natural fit for this personal medium. Might it be that Monet’s treatment of the waterlilies and the surface of the water, hardly photorealistic, give the Instagrammer more to discover about the artist—and potentially themselves? Five Words in Orange Neon by Joseph Kosuth is both very popular and very difficult to shoot. As an examination of words and the context of their representation, it’s bound to start a conversation. Is it a statement about how we interpret art, even as the art resists interpretation? These discussions continue into the digital space on Instagram comment threads, and you’ll often see Museum visitors perched on the stairs that face Kosuth’s work, trying to capture those five words in a photo. Dorothea Rockburne’s Saqqarah, from the series Egyptian Paintings, is initially as subtle as it is popular on Instagram. There is an irresistible complexity in the interplay of shadow, light, and surface. More than once I’ve seen this on Instagram from a vantage point not directly in front of the art but to the side; indeed it takes on a different appearance. No discussion about the most photogenic pieces in the Museum would be complete without noting untitled (to Donna) 2 by Dan Flavin. I’ve shot and posted this fluorescent light sculpture more than once myself. It is photographed from a distance, examined at close range, and most often pictured with

visitors themselves in the frame. The glow lends itself to dramatic silhouettes of the people standing before it, playing into Flavin’s exploration of how light itself sculpts the exhibition space. From tintypes to Kodak and Polaroid to today’s photo- and video-sharing platforms, photography and art are connecting and inspiring us in more ways than ever.

OPENING IN JANUARY Learn more about our Spring 2017 exhibitions in the next issue of Portal, arriving in late January. RODIN The Human Experience—Selections from the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Collections JANUARY 21 – APRIL 16, 2017
One of the greatest artists of his time, Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) revolutionized the art of sculpture with works that probe expression with the human figure and face. While his sculpture always remained faithful to nature, he departed from traditional practice in seeking to reveal the creative process. This spring’s exhibition of 60 stunning bronzes demonstrates Rodin’s particular passion for modeling the human form in clay, the medium in which his hand and mind are most directly evidenced. The selected bronzes in the show represent the major achievements of Rodin’s long career, including powerful studies for The Burghers of Calais; works derived from his masterpiece The Gates of Hell; and sculptures such as Monumental Torso of the Walking

Man, which demonstrate Rodin’s admiration for Michelangelo. The exhibition is especially rich in portraiture, including Rodin’s famous depictions of the composer Gustav Mahler and the writers Victor Hugo and Honoré de Balzac. Organized by the Iris & B.

CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art JANUARY 28 – JUNE 18, 2016
In 21st century America, issues of identity are being explored as never before. This exploration has prompted many artists of color to investigate what constitutes identity, community, and the idea of a post-racial society. Constructing Identity brings together paintings, sculpture, prints and drawings by prominent contemporary African American artists with a selection of historical works by artists from the 1930s, 1940s, and the Civil Rights era.

VIK MUNIZ First acquisitions by new Contemporary Collectors Circle on view this fall This fall, visitors to the Museum will enjoy three newly acquired works from the Rouen Cathedral series by Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, inspired by Impressionist master Claude Monet’s well-known paintings.
The group believes this initiative will not only benefit the Museum immediately, but will also have the long-term effect of positioning the institution and Portland as a national and international destination for 21st-century art.
The three artworks were purchased for the Museum by its newly founded Contemporary Collectors Circle (CCC), whose goal is to transform the Museum and the city through the acquisition of major works of contemporary art. The concept for the CCC was born out of the personal experiences of Matt Felton, a Museum Trustee with a passion for modern and contemporary art.
The group members, who dedicate donations annually, travel to the world’s leading art fairs, galleries and private collections considering pieces for acquisition. Trips during this inaugural year included Art Basel Miami Beach, Frieze New York, and the Seattle Art Fair. It was at Frieze where the first purchase was made— an impressive set of three photographs by Muniz, who is widely celebrated as one of the most innovative and creative artists of our time. Originally trained as a sculptor, he is now renowned for creating what he calls “photographic delusions.”
“Being relevant means boasting a great collection of contemporary art—a broad and extensive inventory of internationally recognized and conceived art works,” says Felton. “The creation of the Contemporary Collectors Circle is an enriching experience for all of us involved, inspiring appreciation and collection of contemporary art on a personal level, as well as the advancement of the Museum’s collection.”
The three works reimagine a famous Claude Monet painting of Rouen Cathedral. On the surface it appears as if Muniz has recreated Monet’s impressionistic brush strokes. Yet on closer look, we see the multitude of images of other works of art cut from magazines, catalogs, and art books that compose the animated

surface—an art history primer contained in a reference to an iconic work of 19th-century European painting. “The selection of these wonderful works by Vik Muniz demonstrates the aims of the group—to acquire art works that are engaging with a show-stopping impact,” said Sara Krajewski, The Robert and Mercedes Eichholz Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. The Muniz photographs are now on view in the Luwayne E. “Buzzy” Sammons Gallery. For more information about joining the Contemporary Collectors Circle, please call Elizabeth Thomas at 503-276-4206.
NEWS & NOTEWORTHY
Andy Warhol understood that. He was the greatest of the Pop artists because his work so perfectly meshed with the themes of his time— and our time. When Warhol got to New York in the early ‘60s as a graphic artist, it was the age of Madison Avenue and Mad Men. So the artists of that time were asking, how do we find our values when we’re being bombarded with one advertising message after another? The challenges of popular culture shaped Warhol’s greatness as a fine artist.
A CONVERSATION WITH JORDAN D. SCHNITZER The Andy Warhol prints on view this fall represent just a fraction of the collection of more than 9,500 prints assembled by Portland real-estate investor and philanthropist Jordan D. Schnitzer. Drawing from one of the country’s largest private print collections, including many important contemporary artists, the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation has organized over 100 exhibitions at nearly 80 museums. Mr. Schnitzer helped design and fund the renovation of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon, and is now funding a new museum at Washington State University in Pullman. A longtime Museum supporter and the son of Life Trustees Arlene and the late Harold Schnitzer, he spoke with us about the genius of Warhol and the importance of sharing a passion for art.
How did you start collecting? I began collecting art in the early ‘60s. What’s exciting about this Warhol show is, for me and our family, this is where it all started. When I went to first grade at Ainsworth grade school, my mother enrolled at the Portland Art Museum art school. I’d come down after school to see my mother and meet Mike Russo and Louis Bunce, who were amazing figures to me
16 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
then. So to think about this exciting Warhol exhibition in the same building that previously held the classrooms—it’s quite a homecoming. The first piece of art I actually bought was from the Fountain Gallery of Art, which my mother opened when I was in the third grade. It’s a study by Bunce called Sanctuary, and it was $75. And with the family discount I paid $60—five dollars a month. If I missed a payment, my mother knew where to foreclose, because my bedroom was right next to theirs.
What drew you to Andy Warhol? Artists have always been chroniclers of our time. If we want to go back and understand any age of history—the Egyptians, the Romans, Greeks—we go back and look at art and culture. Artists are the ones on the frontline, pushing the envelope, forcing us to deal with the issues of the time. Today, when our smartphones bombard us with what to think, where to go, what to eat, who to see, art is probably the last refuge. Whatever we see in works of art—whether it’s Michelangelo’s David or Andy Warhol’s Marilyn set—no one else can tell us that our interpretation, our feelings, our thoughts aren’t right.
I think this Warhol exhibition will knock people’s socks off. It will be the largest Warhol exhibition ever mounted, in terms of the number of pieces, and it’s going to turn this museum into the Factory of the ‘60s and Studio 54 of the ‘70s. It will be a Magical Mystery Tour of another time and place, with themes that are relevant today. In these screen prints, you can also see one of Warhol’s objectives throughout his whole
life, which was the democratization of art. He was saying art is all around us, not just in museums, not just for some elitist people—next time you’re in the grocery store, look around at the shapes, the forms, the graphic designs. In choosing the elementary technique of the screen print, he was essentially making a statement to mass-produce art, to get it out to the public.
You’ve been successful in getting art out to the public as well, by inviting museums to create exhibitions from your family foundation’s print collection. What is your goal? The goal of those exhibitions is sheer, unadulterated joy. I don’t think there’s anyone in the world who gets as much pleasure as I do from going to these exhibitions and seeing this art—and that joy is only surpassed by the joy I have in sharing it. I have no sense of ownership, only a sense of stewardship.
We get to work with so many wonderful regional museums and incredible art leaders. The curators pick whatever they want from the richness of this collection, for free, mixing and matching works to put together strong exhibitions with hard-hitting themes. Wichita Museum of Art has one this fall called Shiny Sticky Smooth: Pop Art and the Senses. In Laramie, Wyoming, they just had an amazing exhibition of Kara Walker, the preeminent African American artist in the country today, and down in Louisiana, the Alexandria Museum of Art has one coming up called Beyond Mammy, Jezebel, & Sapphire: Reclaiming Images of Black Women.
Remember, too many eyes won’t wear out the Warhol work. So bring your kids, your grandkids, bring the neighbor kids; go get your aunt and uncle, your grandparents—flood the museum with people. Let Andy Warhol reach out and speak to every single one of them who comes to visit this incredible exhibition. Conversation condensed for print; to read an extended version, visit portlandartmuseum.org. For more information about the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, visit www.jordanschnitzer.org.
One thing I’ve learned is that in too many communities, the school districts are broke, and the programs they had when I was growing up—field trips and so forth—are so limited. So in addition to loaning the work for free as we’ve done here at the Portland Art Museum, we generally offer the museums funding to bring school kids in, host artists-in-residence, and present lecture series. I’m thrilled to help make these exhibitions and programs happen, for the same reason I support the university art museums: to bring in the next generation and help them realize the importance of these cultural institutions. Part of my Johnny Appleseed mission is to help develop and expand art museums on university campuses, where they make going to those institutions part of their ordinary campus life. Then maybe when they’re home, they’ll come by their local art museum and get involved, and thus we create patrons for the future. How lucky I’ve been to grow up in this town, work hard and be able to give back to it. Art is a gift we all can give. If you can pass on a passion for the arts—whether it’s visual arts, dance, music, theater—it’s something they can always go to. And when they have ups and downs in their lives, maybe it’s a place they can go to get a break, to get a better perspective, and feel how lucky they are to be alive and experiencing that form of art and culture.

FULL NORTHWEST ART COLLECTION NOW ONLINE The Portland Art Museum is excited to announce the completion of Phase 2 of the Northwest Art Initiative (NWAI), an ongoing project to digitize the Museum’s premier collection of Northwest Art, with the aim of making the Museum’s collection accessible to everyone. This second phase of the NWAI was made possible by a two-year $171,000 Humanities Collections and Reference Resources grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
This generous award enabled the Museum to photograph, catalog, and publish online its preeminent collection of more than 9,000 works of art by Northwest artists. You can now browse the entire collection on the Museum’s website, including thousands of works that are not currently on view and rarely displayed objects, including light-sensitive works on paper and fragile 19th-century photographic negatives. All of these artworks are keyword searchable and include links to similar objects, related concepts and places, and artists’ biographies.
The Museum is committed to continuing this work indefinitely as it adds newly acquired historic and contemporary works to its Northwest Art Collection. To view the entire Northwest Art Collection—and thousands of other works from the Museum’s permanent collection—click “Search Online Collections” in the Collections section of the Museum’s website at portlandartmuseum.org.

NORTHWEST FILM CENTER
its 43rd year), Fresh Film NW has surveyed Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska to jury and circulate youth-produced films ranging from animated shorts and dramas to experimental works and social-issue documentaries. Founded originally in partnership with the Oregon Educational Media Association and Oregon Educational Public Broadcasting System (now OPB), Fresh Film NW has grown over the years into a gathering place for the work of such organizations as Caldera, NW Documentary, and Reel Grrls, as well as for the Film Center’s own statewide Filmmakersin-the-Schools artist residency program, and a growing number of high schools teaching film as part of the regular curriculum. Supporters have included Comcast, the Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission, Oregon Arts Commission, Regional Arts & Culture Council, and numerous others. The festival’s unique focus as a regional event has made it an important forum of up-andcoming young talent, helping to launch the careers of those seeking to make film their life work. Alumni include CNN producer Kelsey

Myers, Portland Development Commission videographer John Cárdenas, Disney animator Matt Davis, and filmmaker and comic-book creator David Walker, to name a few. As technology has shifted over the years from the home-movie format of Super 8mm to VHS video and now high-definition digital, what has not changed is Fresh Film NW’s parallel commitment to seeking out and celebrating the voices of the underserved: for example, teens in low-income, rural communities producing substance-abuse-prevention documentaries; workforce development program participants documenting high-growth career areas; incarcerated youth reflecting on what their futures might hold; and special-needs youth expressing their unique creative potentials. On November 12, Fresh Film NW celebrates its 40th year, making it one of the oldest youth film festivals in the nation. As the lights go down and the large screen of the Whitsell Auditorium becomes bright, yet another juried selection of work will flicker in front of nervous young filmmakers, educators, mentors, proud family members, and friends.
What makes a work “fresh”? As the festival’s more than 100 educator, filmmaker, and community-leader jurors have determined over and over again each year for four decades: originality, persuasiveness, proficiency, risktaking, and, in the end, heart.
43RD NORTHWEST FILMMAKERS’ FESTIVAL
The 40th Fresh Film NW will screen November 12 at the Whitsell Auditorium with filmmakers in attendance.
For more than four decades, the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival has celebrated our region’s cinematic bounty. Featuring short and featurelength films from filmmakers living and working in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia, this year’s festival offers screenings and special events in our Whitsell Auditorium as well as 5th Avenue Cinema and Skype Live Studio. The special guest judge this year is Jonathan Marlow, cofounder of the online film service Fandor.
NOVEMBER 10–15
This year’s highlights include the opening party and Northwest Filmmakers’ Summit featuring guest speakers and panels, Fresh Film NW, and the NW Episodic Showcase highlighting web series created around the region. Filmmaker Alicia J. Rose will host a three-part workshop on figuring out your best story to tell, whether it be a film or episodic series, and how to build a support system around your project in the crazy world of film and video production.

BENDING THE BARD Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare SEPTEMBER 9 – OCTOBER 30
With more than 400 film and TV adaptations made of his works—over 80 of Hamlet alone—William Shakespeare is credited as being the world’s most filmed author. And though they’re now synonymous with “high culture”, his plays were always intended as popular entertainment—which is perhaps why Shakespeare and cinema have always so successfully aligned. Even when his words are amended, transposed, or pared away entirely, Shakespeare’s stories, characters, and imagery are able to translate seamlessly between countries and cultures around the world. This September, to celebrate the 400th anniversary of his death, the Northwest Film Center is proud to present Bending the Bard: Cinematic Twists on Shakespeare, a series of 15 “unconventional” cinematic adaptations of
24 PORTLAND ART MUSEUM
Shakespeare’s plays. Freed from restrictions to a certain time, location, or even language, the filmmakers in this series have created works that both reflect and transcend their immediate cultural origins. The films span eight countries and seven decades of filmmaking, with genres ranging from sci-fi, Westerns, queer cinema, war propaganda, musicals, and horror to a samurai Macbeth, a Bollywood Othello, and a Finnish neo-noir Hamlet set in a rubber-duck factory. Bringing together well-known classics alongside lesser-seen adaptations, Bending the Bard celebrates these unique, inventive films as well as the powerful way in which Shakespeare’s universal stories have become a shared global language. We hope you’ll join us!
TOP: Still from the film Titus; RIGHT: Still from the documentary Andy Warhol.
In conjunction with the museum’s Andy Warhol exhibition, the Film Center presents two fascinating film portraits that will deepen appreciation of the work. Ric Burns’ epic documentary Andy Warhol (2006) may change what you think you know about the famed Pop artist who redefined how we think of art and culture. Featuring interviews with an array of confidants from art dealers to artists, Burns’ film portrays an insecure man who sought fame akin to the Hollywood starlets whose photos he tore out of Depression-era movie magazines. Equally fascinating is Chuck Workman’s Superstar: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol (1990), which weaves together varied, and often enigmatic, interviews with the artist shot over
three decades. Workman surveys Warhol’s art and films along with interviews and appearances with many from the Warhol “family.” In addition to Warhol, Marcie Beglieter’s Eva Hesse (2015) explores the inspiring art and stories of one of the seminal post-Minimalist artists of the 1960s. Famed Spanish director Carlos Saura’s Argentina (2015) brings alive the soul of the past, present, and future of a culture through the spectacular dance and music of the tango; Dutch director Pieter van Huystee’s Jheronimus Bosch—Touched by the Devil (2015) follows a team of art historians’ search—with high-res macro, X-ray, and infrared cameras—into the mysteries of Bosch’s (1460-1516) fantastic imagery of heaven and hell. And Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato’s Robert Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures (2015) explores the sex and magic at the heart of one of photography’s most controversial artists.

MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART
NOVEMBER 20, 2 P.M.
OCTOBER 23, 2 P.M.
Few artists have been as closely associated with a single technique as Andy Warhol is with silkscreening. He wasn’t an innovator in the medium, however, as is sometimes claimed; it came to him with a rich and complex history he’d encountered already in his youth. With the advent of Pop art, Warhol built on that history to transform silkscreening from a mere technique into a true bearer of meaning. Gopnik is working on the forthcoming biography Andy Warhol: A Life As Art.
Andy Warhol was a prodigious consumer of photographs, which influenced his approach to how pictures are manufactured for wide audiences. In this lecture, Andy Warhol curator Sara Krajewski explores how Warhol’s prints reflect his complex understanding of media culture and his response to advancements in image-making technologies from the 1950s to 1980s.
PORTLAND PRINTS SERIES IN CELEBRATION OF BOTH ANDY WARHOL AND CORITA KENT This fall the Museum partners with the community-based Independent Publishing Resource Center (IPRC) in Southeast Portland to showcase the power of printmaking in the Portland community. Through classes, studio visits, and a Museum artist-in-residence series, the Portland Prints series will make it possible for Museum visitors to look behind the screen.

CORITA KENT Corita Kent and the Language of Pop SUSAN DACKERMAN, PH.D. SCHOLAR, GETTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE DECEMBER 4, 2 P.M.
During the 1960s, the artist-nun Corita Kent was well known, even appearing on the cover of Newsweek magazine in 1967. Her progressive religious ideas inspired those around her, and her many Pop art prints were likened to those of such contemporaries as Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. Yet although Kent participated in two heady 1960s cultural revolutions—Pop art and Vatican II—she was an outlier in both movements, seemingly because of her association with the other. Susan Dackerman will explore how the artist-nun used the strategies of Pop art to promote the revitalization of Christian ideals in America.
SCREENPRINTING CLASSES Channel your inner Andy Warhol or Corita Kent by participating in a one-day IPRC screenprinting class! Learn how to create stencils, prep and pull screens all while gaining knowledge about tools, tips, and tricks for the process. No experience necessary.
