William Maloney, Spring Glitter, 2011, oil on canvas

Reawakenings: Emerging from Winter into Spring is on view through March 11.

The idea for this exhibition came from a Judy Collins’ song “Fallow Way”. Judy does a beautiful job capturing the quietness of winter and how that mood changes as spring becomes more and more a reality.

The artists in the exhibition capture that transformation and include Howard Bon-ington, Ellen Bradshaw, Jane Eccles, Jason Eldredge, Jane Lincoln, William J. Maloney, Susan O’Brien McLean, Alison McMurry, Patricia Melvin, Rosalie Nadeau, Sandy O’Connor, Jackie Reeves, Candice Ronesi, Vittoria Sault, Joni Scully, John Silver, Aleta

A Family of Artists: Gruppé FamilyMarch 13 through April 29, 2012

During the 19th and 20th cen-tury, the Gruppé family contributed to the New England art scene by producing many artists including Charles Paul Gruppé and his son Emile and his daughter Virginia. Another son Paulo was a gifted cellist. The Gruppé legacy contin-ues with Emile’s son Robert who is creating works of art today. This exhibition will look at their color-ful careers and how they influenced each other as artists.

Charles Paul Gruppé (1860-1940) was born in Picton, Canada but his love of drawing and paint-ing inspired him to travel to Eu-rope and he lived in the fishing vil-lage of Katwyk Ann Zee in Holland

(a painting of this charming fishing village will be included in the exhi-bition). His skill and draftsmanship in his paintings were admired and appreciated by the Dutch Royal Family and he was elected to the Haque’s Pulchre Studio.

Emile Gruppé (1896-1978) was an accomplished artist (inspired by the Gloucester harbor paintings by Frederick Mulhaupt) and dedi-cated teacher. He coordinated the Gloucester School of Painting from 1940 until 1970 and taught over 6,000 students. He is especially remembered for his larger than life personality and innovative teach-ing style. He created the Rocky Neck studio which is now named the Gruppé studio and run by his grandson Robert.

Virginia Gruppé (1907-1980) studied with her father and pursued courses at Cornell and the Universi-ty of Rochester. She was a Renais-sance woman and worked in both sculpture and watercolor.

Robert C. Gruppé (b. 1928) explains that “I was extremely for-tunate to have studied painting with my father (Emile) for twenty years, and I would not trade it for the world. When I first started painting he told me, ‘I can teach you every-thing I know about painting in five minutes if I talk slow, but you will remember what I said when you discover it for yourself.’”

Come visit this exhibition of an extraordinary family of artists and see many works that were created at Rocky Neck Studio and united again over 50 years later.

THE LITTLE GALLERY

Gravity in Flight: Works by Liz Prescott February 1 to March 4, 2012 In this body of work Liz Prescott uses bird images, mapmaking, and landscape metaphorically to explore the relationship between her knowledge of place and more interior spaces of the psyche. Liz’s inspiration comes from many sources: specific landscapes, invented places, old charts, topographical maps and mazes. She plays with the tension between decorative motifs, realistic imagery and flat modernist spaces.

Liz Prescott, Pause, 2011, acrylic on panel, 8 x 8 inches

Dwellings: Paintings by Priscilla LevesqueMarch 6 to April 22, 2012 The theme of this exhibition is how dwellings relate to their surrounding landscape and sky.

Steward and Timothy Jon Struna.

This exhibition is in two parts. The artists in the downstairs gallery focus on experiencing winter into spring in New York City. For ex-ample, Patricia Melvin in her work captures the mesmerizing light of late winter/early spring and how it bathes the setting in a nurturing and quiet way.

Artists upstairs in the exhibition look at the rural setting of Cape Cod and New England and capture the quiet transformation focusing on the relationship between the outdoor space and the light. For example, Jason Eldredge shows us the same setting in all the paintings but the dramatic change of light is shown according to the time of day.

Another area explored in this ex-hibition is how artists portray trees.

ReawakeningsContinued from page 1

One artist, Jackie Reeves, captures the expressionistic view of the tree showing the relationship between color and light and how they are contrasted by the brown color of the tree.

Come join the Cahoon Museum of American Art and the artists spotlighted in this exhibition and experience casting away the dreari-ness of winter and moving into the quiet nurturing qualities of spring.

exhibit of 2012 is already here. Reawakenings: Emerging from Winter into Spring gives us the opportunity not only to trace in art the subtle changes that mark the passage from winter into spring, but also to partner with the Barnstable Land Trust in an exhibition whose sales will benefit the BLT as well as the Cahoon itself. This is a case in which art and nature, far from being mutually opposed (as they are sometimes thought to be), join hands in a common enterprise. The art will sharpen our eyes and hone our senses to see and feel what the natural world will soon be present-ing to us in all its grand reality.

At the same time, we have been hard at work on the capital campaign to support our planned addition and to give the museum a strong endowment. Especially exciting is the hiring of Pam Mor-rill as our Director of Development. Many of you will know Pam—or, at least, will know her name—from her years as Director of Develop-ment for the Cape Cod Symphony. Now, on a part-time basis, she brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to the Cahoon. She

joined us at the end of October, and already she is having a dramatic impact on our planning and prepa-ration for taking the campaign into high gear. We are delighted to wel-come Pam to the Cahoon staff; and we deeply appreciate the organiza-tional skills, the research capabili-ties, and the broad experience in development that she provides for us. She is a master of her craft.

I also want to report some significant gains with respect to the addition itself. The Cape Cod Commission has now finalized its approval of the addition from the point of view of its compatibility with the preservation of our historic building and with various other important standards. Endorsing the unanimous recommendation of the subcommittee that originally heard our case, the full Commission voted its—also unanimous—approval in early December. In addition, on January 12, we met with the Town of Barnstable for our site plan review; and that meeting also went smoothly. There are a couple of minor items of information that we still need to provide to the Town (specifically with regard to our plan

WINTER/SPRING • 2012

Winter—even a winter as mild as the one we’ve had so far—is ordinar-ily a fallow season. The fields lie dormant, and the woods are bare. The blooms of autumn are gone; and the blossoms of spring, at this stage, are no more than a distant hope. At the Cahoon, however, the season has been far from dormant.

Already, as I write, the opening of our first

for external lighting and for the positioning of our sign on Route 28). Once these have been provided, however, we will also have jumped this hurdle on the path to the full realization of our plans. At this point, too, we are in the last stages of final-izing the “Grant Agree-ment” with Mass Devel-opment, the state agency that will administer our $400,000 grant from the Mass Cultural Council

(awarded in 2009). Once the Grant Agreement is in place we will be able to start drawing on the grant funds to meet architectural as well as construction expenses for the new building (happily, since this is a matching grant, we were certified some time ago as having met the matching requirement).

All in all, then, we are making substantial progress both with re-spect to staging the capital cam-paign and with respect to reaching the point at which we are ready to go on the construction itself. This is very good news. And it means that our winter has been a far from fallow season!

Finally, even in the face of the current precarious state of the world, I want to wish all of you the very best for a happy and healthy 2012. We hope that this will be a very good year for the Museum and for all its members and friends.

opportunity to hire a new coordi-nator and we plan to increase the responsibilities titling the position Education Coordinator.

We also received a contribu-tion of $1,000 from the Demoulas Foundation. Mr. Telemachus A. De-moulas established the Demoulas Foundation in the spirit and desire to assist the many important and worthwhile non-profit organizations that he truly believed were deserv-ing of the foundation’s support. To this day, the trustees of the founda-tion continue to work diligently under Mr. Demoulas’ guiding philosophy.

The museum’s highest member-ship category is the Cahoon Society at $1,500. Five hundred dollars of that donation goes towards buying a piece of art work each year. For 2011, the Society acquired Walter Gay’s (1856-1937) Doorway, oil on panel. The Cahoon Society has been acquiring works since 2003 and this is the 10th work that the Cahoon Society has purchased for the permanent collection. Other art-ists’ works added to the permanent collection by the Cahoon Society include Erastus Salisbury Field,

An Exciting Year of Programs at the Cahoon Museum of American Art

Homer Dodge Martin and Thomas Waterman Wood.

The Cahoon Museum of Ameri-can Art continues to accept dona-tions that are approved by the Collections and Exhibitions Com-mittee. For 2011, they accepted: Martha Cahoon’s (1905-1999) Mai-traya Kuanyin Buddha & Ho Ho The Twins, 1980, oil on board, 25 x 31 inches; Reginald Fairfax Bolles’ (1877-1967) Portrait of a Trapper, oil on board sketch, 26 x 26 inches; and Brenda Atwood Pinardi’s (1941-2010), Ascension II, acrylic on board, 16 x 20 inches.

We worked with top floral de-signers on the Cape for the 2011 Cahoon in Bloom (August 4-7). Spotlighting fantastic floral displays created by prize-winning floral artists, each unique arrangement represented the designer’s personal interpretation of a painting in So What’s in a Bog? (July 26 – Sep-tember 18, 2011). We just found out that DeMelo Bros. will sponsor this year’s Cahoon in Bloom event at the $2,000 level. We are excited because the Osterville Garden Club will be hosting the event this year. There are other sponsorship op-

portunities available if you are interested in being part of this exciting event.

We worked with many organizations on the Cape and plan to work with many oth-ers on and off the Cape for 2012. For example, for our next exhibition, A Family of Artists: Gruppé Family we will borrow-ing works from the Cape Anne Museum of Art, Gloucester, MA, Burchfield Penney Art Center, Buffalo, NY, Springville

It’s been another amazing year for the Cahoon Museum of American Art. We received $2,000 from JB-S Enterprises, Inc. and Joan Bentinck Smith, to continue our program Get smART, whose purpose is to educate and get children excited about the visual arts. Through the grant, schools in the area can be reimbursed for bus trips to the museum and the coordi-nator provides tours of the cur-rent exhibition. The program is 10 years old. We now have the

Museum of Art, Springville, UT, and The Parthenon, Nashville, TN.

In 2011, the Cahoon Museum of American Art began a wine and book discussion to discuss books related to exhibitions. Books and exhibitions discussed included: Marcia Woodruff Dalton’s “The Ice Margin”/So What’s in a Bog; Sally Gunning’s “The Widow’s War/Mighty Ships and Their Journeys Beyond; and Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray/Portraits & Their Lives. The museum will con-tinue the book discussions for 2012.

As you can see, 2011 was a full year and 2012 will be even fuller. We will be offering 15 exhibitions and over 25 programs. Bill, in his President’s Report, does a great job interpreting our first exhibition for the year “Reawakenings: Emerging from Winter into Spring”.

Thanks for your continued sup-port and I look forward to see-ing you all at our exhibitions and events for 2012. If you have any suggestions about how to improve our programs and services, please do not hesitate to contact me.

NEW STAFF We also want to welcome Pam Morrill to our staff as the Development Director of the New Building Campaign.

The Cahoon Museum of American Art Board and Staff want to welcome our new board members: Gwen Dadoly, Mary LeClair, and Kevin Nolan.

Gwen serves as Managing Direc-tor of US Trust Bank of America Private Wealth Management. U.S. Trust is one of the nation’s most es-tablished and respected wealth man-agement firms having served clients and their families for over two centuries. Gwen currently serves as Board of Directors for Leadership SouthCoast, Saint Francis Xavier Preparatory School Advisory Board, and the Commission on the status of Woman Regional Council Network.

Mary is currently Constituent Services Representative for Con-gressman William Delahunt since 2009. Mary has an impressive career of public service including: County Commission, County of Barnstable (1996-2009), Civil Ser-vice Commissioner, State of Mas-sachusetts (1997-199), and County Treasurer (Chairman of Barnstable County Retirement), County of Barnstable (1979-1996). She has been actively involved with many organizations including Cape Cod Volunteers, Mashpee Scholarship Foundation Trust, and Girl Scout Association.

Kevin is the owner of Barnstable Pottery. His love of creating art started in high school when art teacher Louis Cormier introduced him to Pottery, Sculpture and the Potters wheel. This laid the ground-work for a further introduction to Harry Holl, owner and founder of Scargo Pottery. He apprenticed with Harry from 1983 through 1986. In 1987, after a year of travel-ing abroad, he returned to Scargo Pottery and continued to work as principal potter and eventually general manager until 2003. While at Scargo, Harry helped shape much of Kevin’s design philosophy and is ever present in his functional and sculptural work.

Pam Morrill joined the Cape Cod Symphony Orchestra (CCSO) as Director of Development in 1996. She retired from that full time posi-tion in June, 2010 but remained as a consultant to the Symphony until recently. As a consultant she had the responsibility to plan and execute all the activities and projects that celebrate the Symphony’s 50th anniversary this season. As CCSO Director of Development, Pam had leadership responsibility for a com-prehensive fundraising program, including annual fund, planned giv-ing, grant support for education pro-

grams, special campaigns and major gifts. She wrote development print materials and grant applications, maintained and developed donor relationships and provided leader-ship to development committees. Pam also planned and coordinated special events and developed and managed the department budget.

Prior to moving to Cape Cod, Pam lived in Connecticut where she worked for the United Way of the Capital Area (Hartford) for four years as Director of the Vol-unteer Center/Community Services

division and also as a regional area director in New Britain (CT)

Her other professional manage-ment positions have included a Federal program for seniors and a hospital volunteer services depart-ment. She was also high school science teacher for many years.

Pam has served on several Boards of Directors in Connecticut and was a volunteer at the Cape Cod and Islands United Way. She has lived in Centerville since com-ing to Cape Cod in 1996.
