MEMBER BULLETIN
SPRING 2015
FROM THE DIREC TOR Dear Member, Spring is a season of renewal and as I mark my first year as the museum’s Executive Director this May, my thoughts naturally turn to the season’s transformative rhythm. Museum staff, volunteers, and members of our affiliate group, the Beaux Arts Club, have been busy at work all winter refurbishing gallery spaces to make way for new exhibitions, planning new and exciting programs, and preparing for one of our most impressive and exciting initiatives—Art in the Garden. On June 13, members and not-yet-members will enjoy our much-anticipated Gala. This year’s theme is A Night in Paradise and what better place to celebrate than inside the museum where you can stroll the galleries with friends, enjoy tapas, wine, and purchase beautiful works by some of this region’s most celebrated artists during the live and silent auctions. Paradise can also be found the following day, June 14, when club members host the annual Garden Tour. Spend a beautiful afternoon meandering through eight magnificent, well-appointed gardens and view the splendor this season has to offer.

Rounding out our spring lineup is Nineteenth-Century Landscape Paintings from the Permanent Collection, which opens May 15. This small exhibition examines the extraordinary transformation within the genre brought about by French artists Eugène Delacroix, Jules Dupré, and Jean Baptiste Camille Corot and the English painter John Joseph Barker. Several of the museum’s galleries have undergone subtle yet exciting transformations over the last few months in preparation for three new exhibitions opening in April and May. We will collaborate with area teachers, student artists, and the American Association for University Women to host the 59th Muskingum County K-12 Student Scholastic Art Exhibition. Opening on Saturday, April 11, this annual exhibition features hundreds of artworks created by this county’s exuberant, skilled, and gifted student artists. I encourage you to explore the full range of programs offered this spring at the museum and at the John McIntire Library. Whether you are interested in learning the subtle art of willow weaving with Howard Peller, floral Henna painting with Natasha Oliver, or still life painting with Yan Sun, I hope you will find something that inspires your creative spirit. I look forward to seeing you at the museum soon. Sincerely, Laine Snyder

SCIENTIFIC WONDERS of the Lloyd Librar y and Museum May 7–August 1, 2015

Meticulously rendered and beautifully hand-colored, nearly two dozen eighteenth- and nineteenth-century botanical prints from the Lloyd Library and Museum Rare Book Collection will be on display in the ZMA’s permanent collection gallery this spring. Guest curator Deborah Elliott of Ohio University-Zanesville organized this exhibition, which will be on view during the museum’s spring Gala, Art in the Garden. Elliott’s thoughtful selection of exceptional volumes and striking works on paper presents viewers with a rare glimpse of these scientific wonders. Popularized during the Age of Enlightenment—a period when science and reason were used to understand the universe—these prints allowed intellectuals to explore the wonders of the plant kingdom. The need to expand upon ancient knowledge on the subject drove a new interest in identifying, categorizing, and recording plant life. Books of botanical prints became fashionable and provided curious viewers with glimpses of the everyday and the exotic, from the medicinal herbs of Europe to the flowers of the faraway tropics. There is more to these prints, however, than diagrams of flowers, stamens, and pistils. These plates, with their blend of scientific, expressive, and decorative elements, represent collaboration between botanists, artists, engravers, colorists, and publishers. The fascinating stories behind these works of art continue to stir our interest and satisfy our desire for knowledge and beauty.

J. B. OWENS POTTERY FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. EDWARD COUNCIL
ESSENTIAL OWENS
April 30−August 8, 2015 This exhibition features a selection of the finest American Art Pottery produced by the J. B. Owens Pottery Company from the collection of Dr. Edward Council. His interest and fascination with this Zanesville manufacturer began in 1986 while attending a pottery auction with his father. Nearly three decades later, Dr. Council’s collection has grown to include 1,300 rare and unique examples created between the company’s inception in 1885, through 1907, when art pottery production ceased. Through exhaustive research into the J.B. Owens Pottery Company, the man behind the company, John Owens, and the wares made almost exclusively for American consumers, Dr. Council has identified seventy unique pottery lines and discovered unmarked ware that, until recently, have been misattributed to other regional producers.

THE COLLEC TION | N ineteenth- Centur y Landscape Paintings from the Permanent Collec tion May 15−October 10, 2015 The ZMA’s permanent collection includes wonderful landscape paintings by French artists Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863), Jules Dupré (1811–1889), and Jean Baptiste Camille Corot (1796–1875) and the English painter John Joseph Barker (1824–1904). The works on display in this small exhibition illustrate the profound transformation within this genre during the nineteenth century when the idealism of Classical landscapes was rejected in favor of the naturalism embodied in these artists’ contemporary environs. Primarily associated with Romanticism, an artistic movement privileging emotion, imagination, and spontaneity, Delacroix is best known for his dramatic and powerful images of exotic and historical scenes. Less than twenty pure landscape paintings are attributed to the artist, including Waterfall, perhaps painted during the mid-1840s when the artist lived in a small town outside of Paris called Champrosay. In this work, Delacroix’s expressive brushwork and poignant color palette accentuate the power and underlying forces he sought in the natural world. His keen interest in landscape is evident in his drawings and oil Eugène Delacroix, Waterfall, circa 1840 sketches, which were often integrated into his larger, historical compositions. Fellow Frenchman Jules Dupré, who spent his formative years decorating plates in his father’s porcelain factory in Parmain, had, by the 1830s, developed a reputation as an important landscape painter. Preferring to paint outdoors, en plein air, Dupré observed and captured the effects of natural light, creating lush and gentle scenes like Meadow with Stream, dating from the mid-1840s. A member of the Barbizon School of artists who shared a common interest in nature and explored and depicted the Forest of Fontainebleau not far from Paris, Dupré depicted pristine landscapes, which were often viewed as a reaction to society’s rapid modernization. Perhaps one of the most influential members of the Barbizons was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot. Although he struggled to gain recogniJules Dupré, Meadow with Stream, circa 1840 tion throughout his early painting career, critical success came in the 1850s. Images like Woodland Landscape demonstrate the artist’s desire to capture the mood or atmosphere inherent in his surroundings rather than to depict any particular, geographic details of place. This aspect of Corot’s work influenced an entirely new generation of artists known as the Impressionists. A generous teacher, Corot encouraged younger painters to reproduce his images, which he then signed as his own. As a result, paintings like Woodland Landscape reveal the artistry of more than one hand.
This exhibition is on view in the John B. Mast Memorial and J. William & Jean Baptiste Camille Corot, Woodland Landscape, 19th century M. H. Straker Charitable Foundation Galleries.
THE ZMA GOES TO OHIO ’S SUPREME COUR T Since 2012, the ZMA has participated in a loan program with Ohio’s Supreme Court.
