The Man Behind the Canvas features original, candid photographs of iconic American illustrator, Norman Rockwell. Through the lens of Louis Lamone, as well as personal memorabilia and private letters, the viewer gets a never-before-seen glimpse into Rockwell’s private life. Also featured are more than 100 Saturday Evening Post covers from 1936-1963. It is no exaggeration to say that Rockwell is the most beloved of all contemporary artists. For 39 years while the face of the world was changing unbelievably, he amused, charmed and inspired millions of Americans. The fact that he managed to capture the hearts of so many people is easy to understand, for somehow, he himself is like a gallery of Rockwell paintings – friendly, human, deeply American, varied in mood, but always full of zest for living. Norman Rockwell: The Man Behind the Canvas originated from the LaGrange Art Museum, LaGrange, GA.

DIGNITY: Tribes in Transition features a series of 60 black-and-white portraits spanning three decadesthat capture a fleeting period of world history where traditional and contemporary cultures collide. Whether photographing a Haitian healer or a San Bushmen chief, Dana Gluckstein infuses each portrait with essential human grace. She distills the universal experience that links us all yet never sacrifices the dignity of the individual.

“The ancient ones tell us where we have come from and where we must go as a world community. Humanity’s survival depends on how carefully we listen,” says Gluckstein. Many of the cultures represented in this exhibition—African, South American and Asian—are also represented in the museum’s permanent collection, providing a rare opportunity to bring past and present together.

JOHN RAIMONDIDrawing to Sculpture

With monumental works at more than 25 museums, nine colleges and universities, three airports, and dozens more public and private locations throughout the United States and Europe, John Raimondi’s sculptures are among the most prominent contemporary public artworks. While his sculptures are easy to spot — some rise more than 60 feet tall — the Appleton will be among the first venues to showcase the artist’s dynamic preparatory drawings.

Raimondi creates abstract and representational drawing as the first stage in the creation of his immense outdoor sculptures. Whether angular geometric forms or fluid organic shapes, his work is united by graceful lines, an aesthetic he developed while studying at the Portland School of Fine & Applied Art (now the Maine College of Art) and Massachusetts College of Art, along with numerous artist-in-residencies. To date, Raimondi has completed more than 100 monumental sculptures for public, corporate and private collections worldwide. Drawing to Sculpture will present 45 works on paper along with maquettes.

The exhibition has been organized by the Boca Raton Museum of Art and curated by Marisa J. Pascucci, Curator of Collections.

From February 1-19, internationally renowned artist Patrick Dougherty was in residence at the Appleton to build one of his unique, signature sculptures on the museum grounds. After several weeks of hard work alongside a team of volunteers, Patrick constructed a large-scale, dynamic work of art that will be part of the Sculpture Walk and Garden for several years, before it naturally decomposes.

Titled Fancy Free, the artist was inspired to create a sculpture with a jogging, casual footprint that works in juxtaposition to the angular, linear quality of the Appleton’s building, windows and reflecting pool. He also drew inspiration from Marion County’s status as “Horse Capital of the World,” creating his series of huts to resemble the natural, easy gait of a horse, with the hut closest to the museum boasting a wild mane.

Volunteers came from near and far to help Patrick, including the Lowell Correctional Institution and College of Central Florida, as well as many familiar faces from around the community. We are so grateful for the hard work of all our volunteers, who helped make the building process successful and enjoyable!

While Patrick was in Ocala, he also served as the official juror for the 2016 Ocala Outdoor Sculpture Competition, picking the top sculptures of the 10 that were selected to be on view in Tuscawilla Park for a 20-month installation.

A big THANK YOU to our sponsors, who helped make this project possible.

New Addition to the Permanent Collection

We are pleased to announce that artist Chuck Sharbaugh has graciously donated Bay 82 to our permanent collection. This work was featured in our recent exhibition, A Fine Timber: Wood & Transformation in Our Time. In 2007, the artist traveled to Duluth, Minnesota to see Northern Goshawks migrating at a location outside of the downtown called Hawk Ridge. He also took a harbor cruise and saw a towering offloading Ore Dock. Visual elements from both of these experiences inspired the

design of Bay 82.

Sharbaugh’s intricate marquetry inlay playing with contemporary themes on a traditional medium is an excellent addition to the

museum’s collection of decorative arts.

Staff Spotlight: Kathleen Balboni

How long have you worked at the Appleton, and what is your position?

My title is Coordinator of Finance Services and I have been with the museum since April 2011.

What led you to your career with the Appleton?

Working for College of Central Florida for the past 17 years and being a CF alumna led me to the Appleton. As an assistant with the CF Grants Department and CF Foundation, my experience with college computer programs and finances made this job a perfect match. Working at the Appleton Museum is great, but the people and the environment make it a wonderful place to be each and every day.

What is your favorite work of art in the museum, and why?

Birds at Home, a photograph by Julie Blackmon. I raised two boys and my sister raised three girls in Ocala. All five are very close in age. This photo is a reminder of the many times we spent together as our children were growing up, but especially the sleepovers and family reunions when all of the cousins (13 to be exact) were together and the happy times that we shared.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

I helped establish the Ocala Youth Lacrosse program in 2004 along with my husband Paul, the Ocala Men’s Lacrosse Team and the Discovery Science Center staff and volunteers.

With a love for the game, and after much time and energy, the sport took hold. Now in Ocala/Marion County there is a lacrosse middle school team, club team for high school boys and girls, and Trinity High School has an FHSAA team.

Now we go, sit back and watch a game whenever we can. What a great feeling to know we had a hand in so many children having an opportunity to play a sport that was not an option in Ocala/Marion County 12 years ago.

?“Where are the Elephants?”

For over 25 years, the three Khien Yimsiri elephants greeted visitors from the fountain but during this time, chlorinated water was eroding the bronze sculptures. With great community support through the Save the Elephants campaign, they were professionally conserved in 2006 and returned to the fountain. Although they were raised on a platform above the water, they began to erode again.

Most recently, the elephants were removed for preventative conservation, and plans are in place to return the sculptures to once again greet incoming visitors, this time from outside of the fountain. We thank you for your patience as we take the time to safely and carefully reinstall them to assure the longevity of these visitor favorites.
