MUSEUM NEWSLETTER & STUDIO CATALOGFall 2018

From the stage of the Grand Opera House, I looked out into the crowd and was humbled. You showed up. Not just for StepAfrika!, but for Wilmington. I saw faces of every age and hue all excitedly waiting for a shared experience with art. This is the heart of the Delaware Art Museum’s mission and vision to serve our community well.

It’s been two years since I’ve joined the Museum, and in that instant—welcoming you all to a multi-cultural, multi-generational melding of visual art, dance, history, and music—I knew that we were where we should be. That success showed what the Museum could do to bring people out and bring people together.

There are two moments from that evening that will stay with me always. During intermission, Bebe Coker—a giant in our community—said to me, “You have no idea how enormous this is for our community.” I had to admit that she was right; I’m new here. I asked her what it meant to her. Bebe shared that she had rarely seen Wilmington as united as we were that night. After the show I was greeted by Ivan Thomas, the purveyor of Delaware’s positive news, and I saw that he had a little girl with him. He had been crying. Ivan thanked the Museum for providing his daughter with an opportunity to see people on stage that looked like her. He said he’ll never forget that experience, and neither will I.

In two years, we have weathered some lows, but we have seen a lot of highs. And I’m grateful that I get to see them on a daily basis. Every day, brilliant budding artists like Ivan’s daughter grace our halls as a part of programs from school tours to summer camp. During the first week of camp this season, I milled among proud family members as they celebrated their children’s artistic accomplishments in just one short week. I was proud, too—of all of them and of the work we’re doing.

In March 2017, we opened Wonder and Whimsy: The Illustrations of W. Heath Robinson. I saw a Facebook post from a father who had wandered into this exhibition of turn-of-the-century illustrations with his daughters. They enjoyed the space provided for them to sit and read together, and the father later purchased books with some of these illustrations for his family. I’m ecstatic that we got to be a part of their discovery of something new together.

As a parent, I’ve played with my son in Kids’ Corner and seen his imagination run wild. I got served pretend ice cream, and we “drove off” together in the ice cream truck. That’s not something that I’d expect a six-year-old to experience in an art museum. Everyone has an imagination that they are growing and maturing into. Too much of the world is trying to stamp it out. Every child is an artist, and the trick is to keep them an artist. It’s our job to create space so that they know they belong here and can say and do whatever comes to mind, and that their creativity is respected.

Thank you, sincerely, for the way you have embraced this vision, not just for our immediate future, but for future generations. I am looking forward to many more years of community, creativity, and discovery with you and your families.

Artfully,

Sam Sweet Executive Director & CEO

Recent Museum Fellows

Leslie E. WingardThis summer, Leslie E. Wingard served as the Alfred Appel, Jr. Curatorial Fellow researching the paintings of Edward Loper, Sr. and Edward Loper, Jr. for the Museum’s

2019 exhibition. With a B.A. from Spelman College and Ph.D. from UCLA, she is currently an Associate Professor of English at The College of Wooster on research sabbatical at Princeton University. She has taught courses linking African American literature with Black visual culture and published articles in Religion and Literature, Religion and the Arts, South: A Scholarly Journal, and American

Quarterly. Wingard also completed a book manuscript entitled The Sacred and Secular Reconciled: Productive Dissonances in African American Literature and Culture.

Lindsay WellsJoining the Museum as a fellow in September, Lindsay Wells completed her M.A. in art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art in 2014. She is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Art History at the University of Wisconsin-

Madison. Her Fellowship project involves investigating the relationship between Victorian houseplant horticulture and the elaborate botanical imagery in paintings by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. She writes, “between the 1860s and 1890s, Burne-Jones designed numerous compositions in which plants attack, imprison, and engulf human figures. My project

places these works of art into dialogue with trends in nineteenth-century indoor gardening that transformed how the Victorians cohabited with vegetal life, from private conservatories to miniature terrariums.”

Art-making is an important part of childhood; however, many local schools have been forced to reduce arts programming in recent years. In 2006, the Museum created the Red Apple Fund for Student Enrichment to address the lack of funding. The Red Apple Fund, which has served more than 15,000 students since its inception, is a unique scholarship program that connects students and youth in financial need to the Delaware Art Museum’s vibrant educational programs and activities. We accept applications from schools, homeschool co-ops, and community groups serving students from pre-K through grade 12 that demonstrate financial need.

The Delaware Art Museum Council raises money for the Red Apple Fund and other projects through their bi-annual Holiday House Tour. In 2017, the Museum Council gifted more than $62,000 to the Red Apple Fund! With this extraordinary donation, our Learning & Engagement team is growing the Red Apple program by expanding in-depth school partnerships.

For the past decade, the Museum has sustained a multi-visit, multi-grade school partnership with Kuumba Academy Charter School. We’re thrilled to announce that we’re now

replicating the Kuumba model with Academia Antonia Alonso (AAA)—a Wilmington charter school focusing on project-based learning. AAA is a bi-lingual school and over half of enrolled students are English Language Learners. The school also serves low income families which make up 60% of its population.

Thanks to the Museum Council and generous donors who support the Red Apple Fund, the students at AAA will have access to consistent, high-quality arts education. Each student will visit the Museum twice for engaging gallery tours with dedicated time for art-making. Please contact Eliza Jarvis, Manager of Youth Learning & Creative Partnerships, for more information. Eliza can be reached at ejarvis@delart.org. You can make a donation to the Red Apple Fund by visiting delart.org. Click the “Red Apple Fund” tab under “Education,” or use the envelope on page 12 to mail in your contribution.

Red Apple Fund Welcomes Wilmington Schools

Danny Lyon: Memories of the Southern Civil Rights MovementThrough September 9, 2018

A giant of post-war documentary photography and film, Danny Lyon helped define a mode of photojournalism in which the picture-maker is deeply and personally embedded in his subject matter. A self-taught photographer and graduate of the University of Chicago, Lyon began his photographic career in the early 1960s. He was the first staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a national group of college students formed after the first sit-in by four African American college students at a North Carolina lunch counter. From 1963 to 1964, Lyon traveled the South and Mid-Atlantic documenting the civil rights movement.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott: Drawings by Harvey Dinnerstein and Burton SilvermanThrough September 9, 2018

Harvey Dinnerstein and Burton Silverman were observers of a movement in American history that began with the arrest of Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on a public bus to a white man. As a result, the African American community was galvanized to action and the Montgomery Improvement Association was founded with the 26-year-old Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as president. This exhibition features Dinnerstein’s and Silverman’s boycott drawings from the Museum’s collection. From expressive portraits to impassioned courtroom drama, the artists captured the spectrum of actions and emotions that marked the boycott as a turning point in the struggle for civil rights.

This exhibition of 29 drawings is organized by and drawn from the collection of the Delaware Art Museum. Support provided by the Edgar A. Thronson Foundation Illustration Exhibition Fund.

Black Survival Guide, or How to Live Through a Police RiotThrough September 30, 2018

The Delaware Art Museum commissioned a project by New York–based artist Hank Willis Thomas that explores identity, history, and the actions motivating contemporary society.

Thomas interprets and employs archival materials from the Delaware Historical Society and photographs of the 1968 demonstrations and National Guard occupation in Wilmington taken by News Journal. The 14 panels engage the viewer in analyzing hidden histories from Wilmington’s challenging past.

Juried Craft ExhibitionOctober 20, 2018 – January 27, 2019

For more than 90 years, the Delaware Art Museum has showcased contemporary craft by artists working locally and throughout the region. The Museum’s first juried Contemporary Crafts Show

was formally established in 1958. Since then, a rich array of woodwork, ceramics, furniture, jewelry, textiles, metalwork, glass, enamel, and leather has been selected by jurors from museums and universities located throughout

the United States. Selected by Haystack Mountain School of Crafts Director and juror, Paul Sacaridiz, the 2018 Juried Craft Exhibition celebrates this long history.

Gifts from the Hotel du Pont CollectionSeptember 8, 2018 – January 13, 2019

In 2017, the Delaware Art Museum received 13 works of art previously on display in the Hotel du Pont in downtown Wilmington. The gift included watercolors by Andrew Wyeth and oil paintings by N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, and Edward Loper. Adorning the building’s public spaces, the hotel’s collection was formed over several decades to support local artists. The Museum is honored to keep these works in the community where they were produced, collected, and enjoyed for generations. A grant from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project makes the conservation and exhibition of these important works possible.

Intimate Visions: Paintings on Paper featuring Constance Moore Simon, David Hornung, and Žaneta Zubkova

Through January 6, 2019

The intimate vision of each artist—a mingling of reality and invention—blends the natural world with abstract shapes. Whether in luminous or subdued colors, these forms conjure up a cityscape or countryside. The small scale of the works draws us into the vision for a closer look.

Politics and Paint: Barbara Bodichon and the Pre-Raphaelite BrotherhoodNovember 3, 2018 – February 3, 2019

Pre-Raphaelite painter and women’s rights campaigner Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon (1827–1891) was an early female participant in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Landscape was Bodichon’s preferred genre, and her style reflects Pre-Raphaelite principles of careful observation and detailed rendering.

As a tireless reformer and champion of women’s rights, Bodichon developed strategies to extend university education to women. In 1854, she published her Brief Summary of the Laws of England Concerning Women, which was later used to promote the passage of the Married Women’s Property act of 1882.

This exhibition examines Bodichon’s process and features watercolor sketches and drawings from her travels. The approximately 30 works are drawn from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection at the University of Delaware and recent acquisitions in the Museum’s permanent collection. In 2016, the Museum acquired the watercolor Ventnor, Isle of Wight (1856), which became the inspiration for this exhibition.

Contemporary Craft: Then and Now In spring, 1958, during a lecture for the Delaware Art Museum’s first annual exhibition of contemporary craft, Thomas S. Tibbs, director of New York’s Museum of Contemporary Craft (now the Museum of Arts in Design) called for the breaking down of barriers between the so-called “fine arts” and the work of artist-craftsmen. Organized by the Delaware Art Museum’s Education Department and the Studio Group of Wilmington, the special display included experimentations in weaving, silver, furniture, ceramics, and enameling. A tradition was established, and the show continued every year until it was combined with the Museum’s annual painting and sculpture exhibitions in 1989 to form the Biennial.

Thanks, in part, to funds donated by the Bank of Delaware, a silver and wood ladle by William Kee, Jr. and bowls by Rudolf Harry Staffel and Oppi Untracht were acquired for the collection in 1961. The Museum’s practice of supporting contemporary craft through shows and acquisitions was instituted. The following year, the Museum purchased three more pieces from Ronald Burke, Bernard Felch, and E. Grant Swayze. During the subsequent years, over 50 works of art were purchased for our collection from the annual shows, strengthening the Museum’s ability to showcase the vibrant contemporary craft practice in its various forms.

Our recent grant-funded, object inventory project has allowed dedicated time to research the collection holdings of contemporary craft as each object is carefully examined, photographed, and studied. Once reviewed, works of art are made available for viewing through the Museum’s online collection at delart.org.

This major undertaking aligns nicely with the fall Juried Craft Exhibition as it offers an opportunity to celebrate the field’s rich history and current trends. Visit the Museum’s collection online and the Lynn Herrick Sharp Gallery for contemporary art during the run of the Juried Craft Exhibition to compare examples of craft from the past to creations today.
