JUNE–SEPTEMBER | 2024

Director’s Welcome

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to kick off this letter by celebrating the resounding success of Art in Bloom, where we welcomed 1600 people to the Museum to revel in the beauty of nature and art. It was a truly magnificent event, and I am deeply grateful for your attendance and support. We are already eagerly planning to do it again next year, promising even more displays and programs for all who attend.

As we welcome another summer, I am thrilled to share the exciting lineup of events and exhibitions that await you at the Museum. It's a season filled with cultural celebrations, fun events, and plenty of opportunities to connect with art in new and engaging ways.

One of the highlights of our summer calendar is the eagerly anticipated opening of The Great Search: Art in a Time of Change, 1928–1945 on June 20. This exhibition is an exploration of American modernist works, showcasing the diverse range of artistic expressions that defined this transformative era in our nation's history. I invite you to join us in our Modern and Contemporary Galleries to experience the richness of this exhibition, which will run in conjunction with our anniversary show, 65 Artists, 65 Years, on view in the Cantilever Galleries.

The summer excitement doesn't end with our exhibitions. We have designed an array of familyfriendly events to ensure there's something for everyone to enjoy. From Pride Prom and Art Olympics to celebrations of the Museum’s 65th Anniversary— Summer Saturday: Party Like It's 1959!—and Hispanic Heritage Month, there's no shortage of opportunities to connect with art and community.

Our 21+ event, Art on Tap, continues at the new hours of 7–10pm, offering a diverse range of themed nights from casino-centric to drag night to craft beer to Latin music—providing plenty of reasons to “party” at the Museum. Our partnership with SummerSounds brings even more excitement, with extended hours (until 7pm) on the first Friday of each month (June-August) for Happy Hour before the concert.

Fashion enthusiasts will delight in Vintage Market on June 9, in partnership with Downtown Greensburg Project, offering the perfect opportunity to upgrade your wardrobe with unique finds. Plus, mark your calendars for our annual Summer Artisan Market on July 20, showcasing local talents. And for a glamorous evening out, don't miss our fundraising event Art in Hand: Designer Bags Silent Auction in partnership with The Committee for The Westmoreland. Bid on new, gently used, and vintage designer bags at our silent auction while enjoying champagne, appetizers, and music in the company of fellow fashionistas.

As we step into summer, I can't wait for all the amazing experiences ahead at The Westmoreland.

Thanks for your ongoing support and love for the arts and the Museum.

Sincerely,

This summer we’re staging a takeover of sorts in the Modern and Contemporary Galleries. From June 20 to December 8, 2024, the galleries will host the special exhibition, The Great Search: Art in a Time of Change, 1928–1945. This presentation surveys the years spanning the first stirrings of the Great Depression to the end of World War II. It demonstrates how stylistic diversity was a hallmark of the modern American art world.

JUNE 20–DEC. 8, 2024

Our title references an iconic exhibition of hundreds of artworks Holger Cahill organized for the 1939 World’s Fair, American Art Today. Cahill was then-director of the Federal Art Project, an enormous undertaking that set up art centers and museums around the country and directly employed artists to both make and teach art.

thewestmoreland.org / 1

In his opening address, Cahill spoke of the modern artist’s “search that takes many paths,” a yearning desire to seek out new enduring forms that would aid democracy. One of The Westmoreland’s best-known and mostloved paintings, Ernest Fiene’s Night Shift, Aliquippa (1936), was included in this pivotal exhibition held in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, Queens, New York. And the Museum’s bronze of Walter Hancock’s Triton Fountain is a smaller cast of the 8-1/2-foot work the sculptor originally conceived for the Fair.

For the past few months, we’ve been working to conserve numerous artworks in preparation for this exhibition, such as Virginia Cuthbert’s portrait of her friend and fellow Carnegie Technical Institute student Virginia Lewis (1934); In a Park (1936), the incredible multifigure composition painted by their professor, Alexander Kostellow; and Henry Lee McFee’s, Interior with Still Life (1931). Now, both McFee’s painting and frame have been restored to their original splendor.

New acquisitions will also be on view. Isabel Bishop’s Gina (before 1945), which the artist exhibited in the prestigious National Academy of Design’s 119th Annual Exhibition, will join a group of prints by the artist in the Museum’s collection.

Kindred McLeary’s monumental Gramma’s Plant’n’ (around 1942), will join an intricate and expressive watercolor by the artist. The painting was included in Portrait of America the recurring nation-wide exhibition and prize competition organized by Artists for Victory, Inc., and sponsored by Pepsi-Cola Company in the 1940s.

These Westmoreland works will be amplified by key loans from institutions, foundations, and private collections, including a suite of works from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, two paintings from Art Bridges, and works from the National Academy of Design, such as one of the earliest self-portraits painted by Andrew Wyeth. Familiar names like Milton Avery, Arthur Dove, and Marsden Hartley, will be presented alongside lesser-known figures such as Louise Boyer, Clarence Holbrook Carter, Allan Randall Freelon, and Virginia Ward to deepen our curatorial commitment to look at the overlooked.

Just as there are many different types of Americans, the show will demonstrate there is no single individual or aesthetic that defines American modern art, and we hope you will find much to enjoy!

This is one in a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by the Philadelphia Museum of Art as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program.

STITCHING STORIES

TINA WILLIAMS BREWER

Internationally renowned artist and storyteller

Tina Williams Brewer creates story quilts inspired by African and African American spirituality, history and culture. A classically trained artist, Brewer describes herself as a folk and fiber artist.

The Museum added Brewer’s hand-pieced and hand-quilted Divine Plan (2003) to the permanent collection in 2020 through a gift of the Westmoreland Society. The piece is currently on view as part of 65 Artists, 65 Years: An Anniversary Exhibition . During a special tour of the exhibition, Brewer described this quilt as telling a hopeful story of moving through “dark aspects of our life” and having “the faith that we will come out of it.”

Brewer stitches all of her work by hand, layering modern and traditional fabrics and transparencies to translate classical elements of art—line, texture, light, and reflection—into a flat medium. “This process separates Tina's practice from a lot of others,” said Chief Curator Jeremiah Williams McCarthy. “I’m always wowed by how her quilts incorporate modern printed fabric in juxtaposition with traditional African fabric, along with overlays and multiple dyeing techniques. It's firing on all cylinders. It's a composition that's compelling and painterly, and the way she treats the material expresses so much mastery of fabric as a medium.”

Brewer noted that she brings a Black perspective to her art, which is not one that has historically been included in most museums. “I grew up in a time when we were not invited to beautiful museums like this one. So I am so thrilled to be a part of this collection, to be invited in, and to encourage others to come here as well. I think this is such a great step in the right direction, as the world is changing, to be able to keep museums alive by inviting all people into them.” She emphasized that “art is for everyone,” reminding visitors that their perspective as the viewer is valuable, calling the exhibition a “partnership of the artists, the curator, and then the viewer,” she said. “I am you and you are me.”

Divine Plan is on view with 6 5 Artists, 65 Years: An Anniversary Exhibition through September 8. Read more about Brewer’s work online at thewestmoreland.org/stories

CONSERVATION CORNER

Preparations for The Westmoreland's 65 Artists, 65 Years: An Anniversary Exhibition involved conservation of approximately forty-five treasures of American art from the Museum's permanent collection. From simple rehousing using archival materials to complete cleanings and repairs, the overall goal of this venture was to secure each work's integrity and present it in its best condition.

Among the works conserved, Virginia Cuthbert's gentle Portrait of Alex Fletcher (date unknown), required detailed procedures to reach exhibition condition. Initially considered unexhibitable due to multiple abrasions, heavy layer surface dirt, planar distortion (i.e. the painting’s canvas became misshapen), and yellowed varnish, the painting underwent treatment by paintings conservator Christine Daulton. Combining the rare talents of artist, chemist, and historian, Daulton addressed the concerns and completed the work by filling losses and applying a fresh protective varnish. The addition of a period frame from Gill & Lagodich Fine Period Frame Gallery, NY, further refined the presentation.

Daulton's studio also conserved Ammi Phillips's Portrait of Mr. Palmer Cooke (1828), and its companion piece, Mrs. Halsey Cooke, (around 1828); post treatment, the portraits host renewed color, depth, and a soft glow not visible prior to the conservator's thoughtful treatment.

Henry Ossawa Tanner's lithograph, The Mosque (date unknown), received a thorough treatment by paper conservator Jessica Keiser. Through careful solvent application, bleaching, and exposure to highintensity multi-spectrum light, the lithograph was cleaned and refreshed, revealing the work's original contrast of rich black ink on soft white paper.

These examples, executed with care and refined talent, were made possible by generous donations in honor of the Museum's Curator Emerita, Barbara Jones, demonstrating resolute support for preserving our permanent collection's artistic and historical significance. This focused effort ensures that every work in the exhibition is seen as the artist intended, inviting our visitors to immerse themselves in the richness of American art.
