DEAR READERS

CONNECT WITH US Sincerely, Alan ChongDirector

More than two thousand people came to our block party on July 22. The Currier Museum celebrated the summer with “Twilight at the Currier,” a free event with lots of activities both indoors and

outside the building. First-timers and old friends took advantage of the beautiful afternoon and evening to tour the galleries and exhibitions, listen to live music, and enjoy food and drink. Face-painting, sidewalk art, mask-making, and a lion parade delighted families.

The event would not have been the success it was without great staff team work and the generous support of our sponsors, People’s United Bank, AutoFair, and iHeartRadio. We promise to make it even better next year.

The Currier Museum belongs to all the residents of New Hampshire, and we hope that events like this make everyone feel welcome. As part of this effort we are launching other special events this season:

Free Lautrec Late Nights In conjunction with the special exhibition, The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec (Members’ opening on September 28), five free Thursday evenings will present music, movies, and tours. These special evenings begin on October 19 and run through December 14 (see Calendar).

Moulin Rouge: La fête de la saison November 4 – A spectacular event celebrating the food, wine, and entertainment of Toulouse-Lautrec’s era, the evening will also support the museum’s community work. Please join us for a fun event.

Side Door Music Series October 13 – The museum launches a new Indie music series in its beautiful auditorium. Established and up-and-coming singers/songwriters perform, with food and drink. Music and art make natural partners.

Members, thank you again for your support. See you here soon.

THE SCULPTURE OF AUGUSTUS SAINT-GAUDENS - OPENS FEBRUARY 10, 2018Next winter the Currier will present the sculpture of Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848–1907) in the first major exhibition of his work to be held in New England in more than 30 years. Saint-Gaudens was the most important American sculptor of the late 19th and early 20th century, and his monuments have become an integral part of our country’s historic narrative. The exhibition will present many of his large-scale masterpieces including Abraham Lincoln: The Man, the Adams Memorial, and Diana.

Saint-Gaudens transformed American sculpture by creating figures from recent history in heroic scale, with allegorical references, and in carefully designed settings. His monuments to heroes like Admiral Farragut and General Sherman defined America’s response to the Civil War. The Shaw Memorial took 14 years to complete and was the first public sculpture to depict heroic African-American soldiers of the Civil War. Saint-Gaudens’ Diana of 1893 was inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture and Renaissance art, but she became a beacon of modernity as the first sculpture to be illuminated by electric light as she balanced atop the tower on the newly erected Madison Square Garden in New York.

Saint-Gaudens achieved unprecedented international acclaim by exhibiting regularly in Europe, for example, winning the grand prize at the Paris International Exposition of 1900. During the height of his career the artist directed busy studios in Paris, Rome, and New York. But Saint-Gaudens was also a New Hampshire artist for much of his life, maintaining a studio in Cornish. He was the founding artist of the Cornish Colony where he summered beginning in 1885, and lived there year-round from 1900 until his death in 1907. His home and studios are now managed by the National Park Service and this exhibition is a collaboration with the Augustus Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site.

BEYOND WORDS: DAVID CARROLL, TOMIE DE PAOLA, AND BETH KROMMES - OPENS JULY 2018This exhibition celebrates the work of three award-winning New Hampshire book illustrators: David Carroll, Tomie de Paola, and Beth Krommes. Original artwork from their most popular books will be shown alongside drawings illuminating their creative process. Together with the published books, these drawings offer unique insights into how these beloved publications were produced. The exhibition explores the development of each artist’s signature style, as well as their wider art-making practice.

ETHAN MURROW: HAULING - OPENS SEPTEMBER 2018

Ethan Murrow is known for his monumental, theatrical narrative drawings. The Currier has commissioned Murrow to transform over 100 feet of gallery walls into an ambitious installation of hand-drawn, panoramic murals. Hauling focuses on the history of Manchester and the people who have lived and worked here, with a particular emphasis on labor, manufacturing, and the area's natural resources. The exhibition will also include new large-scale works on paper and an industrial kinetic sculpture.

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) is one of the most talented – and eccentric – artists of the 19th century. Hollywood movies like Moulin Rouge (from 1951 and

2001) popularized his dramatic life: raised an aristocratic, Lautrec suffered from accidents as a child which severely stunted his growth. He was attracted to the shadowy underworld of Paris – a realm of dancers, actors, prostitutes, alcohol, and drugs. But from this rough material, Lautrec fashioned dynamic and innovative images. His evocative posters, advertisements, and programs are among the most influential commercial images ever made, and set the stage for modern marketing imagery.

Local color

Paris was an international center of culture during this period. The entertainment districts in Montmartre on the city’s outskirts were a breeding ground for progressive counter culture, and provided a bounty of subject matter for Lautrec. The artist sensitively portrayed individuals from all walks of life who mingled in cafés and dance halls, from upper-class spectators to performers and prostitutes.

Lautrec and celebrity

Lautrec’s work was akin to social media before the digital age. His avant-garde designs were seen by a broad public as they appeared on posters plastered throughout Paris, illustrations for widely circulated journals and magazines, and fine art prints. A friend of famous performers, Lautrec also prefigured our celebrity-obsessed culture. He portrayed prominent singers, dancers, actors, and even circus performers – sometimes on stage in their recognizable personas, but also informally in behind-the-scenes portraits. This contrived intimacy (also widely circulated) has also been influential to twentieth-century artists.

Media Sponsor:

Lautrec was drawn to performers who, like himself, had crafted their own stardom through their appearance and signature talent. Among them: Aristide Bruant, with his arrogant persona and floppy black chapeau; Jane Avril, conspicuous for her red hair and over-the-top hats; or the clown Cha-U-Kao, who sported a top knot and low-cut blouses. Lautrec’s prints solidified their celebrity status, and simultaneously brought the artist his greatest fame.

About the exhibition

This exhibition is drawn from the holdings of the Museum of Modern Art, and because they are light-sensitive, have been very rarely seen, even in New York. Scenes of nightlife and celebrity are well represented in the exhibition. Lautrec was inspired by all that Paris had to offer and would frequent the many parks, race tracks, and dining

establishments in the city, sketching the people and animals he found there. He also created illustrations for advertisements and magazines. This exhibition, The Paris of Toulouse-Lautrec, features over 120 examples of the artist's best-known work, celebrates the audacious art of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, which continues to inspire artists and designers today.

Join us for exciting Lautrec themed events this fall. On November 4 the Currier hosts Moulin Rouge: La fête de la saison, a special party featuring French fare, music, dancing, art and more. The Currier is also offering extended viewing hours during Free Lautrec Late Nights on select Thursday evenings throughout the exhibition. Check the calendar for more information and events.

Entering the Zimmerman House is a dramatic cave-like experience. Passing through a hallway with a low ceiling, you are transported

to a light and soaring space with unexpected accents of glowing color. Frank Lloyd Wright was a master manipulator of space, and this theatrical progression helps you transition from the outside into a world of sensate awareness.

What is that amazing scent, visitors sometimes ask – all the cypress? The long, clean lines of the boards on the ceiling invite the eye to sweep across before doubling back to the delicate beauty of the wood grain. On a recent visit, I was drawn to the rough, mottled concrete of the block windows. The light was beaming from the decks above and the autumnal colors of the furnishings were warm in their earthiness.

Thinking about Wright in this anniversary year (he was born June 8, 1867), the press has rightly lauded his invention of an American architecture and foreshadowing of sustainable design. As the Zimmerman House illustrates, his work also is an invitation to slow down – a crucial reminder at this moment of constant communication and screen-based experience.

This does not mean that Wright turned his back on technology. While nature had a spark of godliness for Wright, he was an automobile enthusiast who also developed an early version of mass-produced homes. His vision of organic architecture sought to integrate structure, interior decoration, and site; but as historian Robert McCarter points out, Wright’s spiritual imagination accommodated modern life.

Wright sometimes designed intensely sculptural experiences, and the ceiling in the Zimmermans’ bedroom is one example. At the same time, this small space – Wright’s so-called Usonian homes were intended to be affordable – includes an area they used for office work. “Not terribly romantic,” joked a visitor recently upon encountering the large adding machine.

Like many today, Isadore and Lucille Zimmerman (a urologist and nurse/office manager) brought their work home. With full understanding of this condition, Wright created spaces that remind us of what it means to be human.

ARCHITECTURE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Photo: David Bohl

The Currier Museum has acquired a painting by the Abstract Expressionist artist Elaine de Kooning. This dynamic

portrait is the first figural work from the New York School to enter the collection, where it joins works by other artists associated with the movement, including Joan Mitchell and Mark Rothko. A noted portraitist, Elaine de Kooning (1918–1989) captured friends and luminaries, including President John F. Kennedy, in an energetic style that featured bold colors and loose, thick brush strokes.

An early work by the artist, the museum’s new painting depicts Michel Sonnabend (1900–2001), a key player in the New York art scene from the 1950s to 1970s, and the husband of the influential art dealer Ileana Sonnabend. In her lifetime, Elaine de Kooning’s work was overshadowed by that of her husband, Willem de Kooning. In part this is because her later portraits have a more realistic and commercial feeling.

However, in recent decades, it has been recognized that Elaine contributed significantly to the development of Abstract Expressionism. This slashed, broken figure from 1951 is closely comparable to Willem’s more famous paintings. Elaine de Kooning is now appreciated as a defining figure in Abstract Expressionism, with a creativity rivaling her colleagues.

ARTWORKS

Corinne Breton, Special Events ManagerMarisol Escobar, The Family, 1963, mixed-media

"I love Marisol. When I visited the Currier for the first time after graduating from SCAD, I was floored that the Currier had such a robust collection of contemporary and female artists. I was hooked on the Currier from that point forward. The Family is timeless. Anyone can look at this piece and make connections to their own lives. The work presents a narrative but is completely open to personal interpretation. I’ve seen kids in the gallery create elaborate stories about The Family where they imagine the lives of these people. This piece is the epitome of what the Currier has to offer: inspiration for all ages.”

Barbara Jaus, Executive Assistant and Board LiaisonPablo Picasso, Woman Seated in a Chair, 1941, oil on canvas

"Picasso’s Woman Seated in a Chair, 1941, was painted during World War II when Picasso was living in Paris, and the painting seems to reflect the violence taking place in Europe at that time, as well as the turmoil in his personal life. I like the two-dimensional quality of the painting, the curved lines of the chair compared to the straight lines of the woman, and the intense color palette. This painting is not easy to love, but it’s always been one of my favorites."

Joel VanPatten, Guest Services Representative Edward Hopper, The Bootleggers, 1925, oil on canvas

"I enjoy this work by Hopper greeting me each morning atop the stairs as I pass by on my way into the museum. While there is the action of the boat and the movement of the waves and a created narrative, the piece continues to repeat the underlying themes of isolation by Hopper. There is one man on the shore, one house, etc. and while there are three men in the boat none of them are engaged with each other whatsoever seemingly adding to the severity of the task at hand in delivering their cargo to this limited audience."

At the Currier Museum we believe arts and culture strengthen communities by encouraging creative thinking, artistic expression, and building connections between groups of people and places. Highlighting a year’s worth of robust community-centered creativity, the Currier Museum of Art is opening its doors to recognize our many educational partners who make our programming possible. Everyone is welcome!

This year the Currier worked with many social service and educational organizations to provide underserved populations with meaningful opportunities to engage with art. The financial support of foundations and businesses provide public school children an opportunity to visit the Currier Museum of Art for the first time. Year-round programs with Easterseals NH bring people with dementia and their caregivers together for weekly art programs, and offer adults with developmental disabilities from the PLUS Company have an opportunity to pursue their artistic endeavors each week. These are a few among many of the ways that the Currier makes art accessible for all.

This fall the Currier Community Partner’s Gallery is highlighting artworks created in programs with Broken Ground Elementary School of Concord, Bring It!, Inti Academy, Manchester Community Health

Center, Easterseals NH, and the children of New Hampshire’s military families. Celebrating Gary Samson, NH Artist Laureate

On Thursday, September 7 our Currier After Hours: Community Celebration event will be free and open to the public from 5 to 9 pm and will feature a wonderful mix of art, music, and NH State Council on the Arts’ award ceremony honoring New Hampshire Artist Laureate Gary Samson (whose sensitive portrait Petra is featured.) Join us that night as we thank our community outreach partners and supporters.

Side Door Music Series Launch

Join us for the launch of our new Side Door Music Series, which brings talented musicians from across the globe to the Currier Museum of Art. The series will kick off on Friday, October 13 with Heather Maloney, a Massachusetts-based singer-songwriter named Artist to Watch by Spin Magazine, who will intrigue you with her unique sound. Special entrance and check-in for the show via the side door on Beech Street. A cash snack and cocktail bar will be available adjacent to the auditorium.
