Unique video installation featuring
The Wizard of Oz on view for the
holidays!
The Topography of Oz will light up Catherine A. Fusco Grand Hall with a brilliant video art display November 29 through December 29, 2013. Jeffrey Moser, a digital media artist, is infl uenced by the research of former Boston University fi lm professor Dr. Robert Steele (1918–1981), and his studies on light rhythms. Moser continues Steele’s research through his appropriation of the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, with a computer program that analyzes each movie frame, creating a topographical map of areas of light and darkness. Through a new look at this holiday favorite, Moser’s experimental fi lm reveals the Technicolor splendor of the Land of Oz.

EXHIBITIONS
American Moderns, 1910–1960: From
O’Keeffe to Rockwell
Through January 5, 2014
Drawn from the Brooklyn Museum’s renowned American art collection, this expansive exhibition features paintings and sculptures that highlight changes in American art and culture during the fascinating half-century from 1910 through 1960. The works of art on view were produced by leading artists of the day, including Georgia O’Keeffe, Milton Avery, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Rockwell Kent, Joseph Stella, Grandma Moses, and Norman Rockwell. Complementing the Delaware Art Museum’s own collection, this exhibition explores how American artists engaged modernity by creating cubist experiments, images of modern structures, Americana, and stylized renditions of traditional subjects such as landscapes and still-life arrangements.
American Moderns, 1910–1960: From O’Keeffe to Rockwell has been organized by the Brooklyn Museum. The Delaware Art Museum’s presentation of this exhibition is generously supported by the Johannes R. and Betty P. Krahmer American Art Exhibition Fund, DuPont, Wilmington Trust, and individual donors. Additional support is provided by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Hunt Magazine, Delaware Today, and Mainline Today are media partners. Images, clockwise from top-left: City Landscape, 1934. Francis Criss (1901–1973). Oil on canvas, 28 7/8 x 36 7/8 inches.

Sherry and Margaret Stenz, was published in conjunction with the exhibition by the same title from the Brooklyn Museum.

Published by the Brodsky Center for Innovative Editions at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers in 2006–2007, this print portfolio assembles 20 women artists important to the feminist art movement of the 1970s. A moment critical to the development of contemporary art, this fi rst wave of feminist art-making employed the gender of the artist as subject matter. Included in Femfolio are prints by Eleanor Antin, Joyce Kozloff, Faith Ringgold, Miriam Shapiro, Carolee Schneemann, Nancy Spero, June Wayne, and Martha Wilson.

“Blessed are the Peacemakers:” Violet Oakley’s The
Angel of Victory (1941)
February 8 – May 25, 2014
Violet Oakley (1874–1961) was an illustrator, stained-glass designer, and the fi rst American woman to fi nd fame in the burgeoning fi eld of public mural painting. During World War II, Oakley joined the Citizens Committee of the Army & Navy to produce portable altarpieces for use on American battleships, military bases, and airfi elds around the world. Oakley’s The Angel of Victory, originally painted for Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Airfi eld and now in the Delaware Art Museum’s permanent collection, was the fi rst of her 25 wartime altarpieces. This exhibition was curated by the Museum’s 2013 Alfred Appel, Jr., Curatorial Fellow. Learn more on page 7.

Curator Corner
As the Delaware Art Museum’s inaugural Alfred Appel, Jr. Curatorial Fellow, I was tasked this summer with organizing an exhibition on the American artist Violet Oakley and her altarpiece The Angel of Victory (1941), in the Museum’s permanent collection. Oakley devoted her 60-year artistic career to the quest for a just and peaceful world. The Angel of Victory epitomizes that lifelong mission (see left).
The Appel Fellowship exhibition project enabled me to explore the Museum fi eld as I had never done before. I walked for two months in a curator’s shoes, bringing a show from its inception (archival research, developing a concept, and assembling a checklist of objects) to fruition (writing wall text and labels, designing the gallery layout, developing public relations, and educational materials). The Fellowship also challenged me to do the hard work of telling a story not so much through my own words, but instead through the thoughtful selection and arrangement of objects themselves. Through careful study, constant revision, and the wise guidance of my supervisor (the Museum’s Chief Curator, Margaretta Frederick), I assembled a series of objects that tell the largely untold story of Oakley’s altarpiece and reveal key insights into her career.
My research revealed that The Angel of Victory, originally painted for Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Airfi eld, was the fi rst of her wartime altarpieces, which she completed just two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the American declaration of war. Thanks to a recent gift from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia of more than a dozen preliminary drawings for The Angel of Victory, this exhibition reunites the altarpiece with its preparatory studies for the fi rst time. In so doing, it allows for the exploration of Oakley’s unique creative process. The works in this exhibition also reveal how the artist responded to a volatile moment in world history by infusing her religious works with a democratic spirit and her lifelong belief in peace.

Fund our Fridays
Over the past few years, the Museum has launched exciting new programs called Art is Social and Art is After Dark. These Friday night events—which attract hundreds of participants—have featured a variety of fun activities, including live sketching, music, yoga, beer and wine tastings, and outdoor fi lms. Most importantly, they have increased access to the Museum by extending hours for busy professionals, families, and groups who want to view and discuss art in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
We are excited to share with you that we are expanding this popular program to a monthly series. On select Friday nights, all the galleries will be open and the Museum will feature lively, themed entertainment, including music, gallery tours, art activities, fi lms, performances, and lectures. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by December 31, which will fund a year’s worth of extraordinary and affordable events for all to enjoy. We’re seeking individual Art is After Dark donations and sponsorships. Donate $2,000 to sponsor a Friday evening of your choice. A gift of $100 will cover supplies for an art activity. $250 defrays the costs of getting the word out about these great offerings. $500 covers security costs for an evening. All gifts are greatly appreciated and help make this Museum a more vibrant place.
Help make Art is After Dark a series the community can embrace. Please use the enclosed envelope to send in your gift today.
Donors tell it like it is: the Delaware Art
Museum matters
“It is a cultural hub. When my daughter tells me that a piece of metal sculpture ‘is just like music’ I know that you and I have done a good job.”
“DAM has done a terrifi c job connecting all kinds of people to art in very accessible ways. I especially appreciate the high-caliber studio classes and the adult social events that get lots of people browsing through the galleries together.”
These quotes were shared during a recent survey. Can you relate?
Our Museum relies on individual donors to support scholarship, the preservation of our collections, special exhibitions, unique classes, and programs. More than one-third of our annual operating revenue comes from individual donors just like you. Support our Annual Fund today.

MUSEUM SUPPORT
The Delaware Art Museum
Council invites you to join in
its efforts
The Delaware Art Museum Council, founded in 1967, is a group of enthusiastic volunteers whose primary purpose is to support the mission of the Museum. As part of its mission, The Museum Council has continued to raise funds for special projects based on the Museum’s needs, such as conservation, the Helen Farr Sloan Library & Archives, and educational programs. In 2012, the Museum Council helped fund the following projects:
Conservation of Delaware Passage, Robert Stackhouse An integral part of the Copeland Sculpture Garden acquired in 1991, Delaware Passage underwent much-needed conservation to preserve the vertical A-frames and guarantee its future integrity. The conservation of this iconic sculpture was made possible by contributions from the Marmot Foundation and the Delaware Art Museum Council.
Conservation of Orifi ce II, Joe MossIn 1983, the Delaware Art Museum purchased Moss’ bright red participatory sound sculpture, Orifi ce II. This work of art is a visitor favorite and has become the image most associated with the Museum, and served as the inspiration for the Museum’s logo at one time. Conservation work included replacing a missing bolt, touching up paint losses, cleaning, and waxing.
Conservation of “His niece had found him lying dead,” and “Another rush of breakers pitching the boat, corklike into the air,” Howard PylePurchased by the Museum in 1915, these two Howard Pyle works were featured with the story “A Life for a Life” written by Pyle in Scribner’s Magazine, January 1900. In 2012, West Chester conservator Mark Bockrath carried out extensive conservation work to both canvases, consolidating fl aking paint, and cleaning the surfaces. The frames for each were also cleaned and waxed. Both paintings are now on view.
Conservation of Untitled, Richard Pousette-Dart This fragile painting was produced with nontraditional methods in 1950 and gifted to the Museum by the Betty Parsons Foundation in 1985. In need of some conservation, its true surface color was obscured and the ability to exhibit the work was limited. Conservator Mark Bockrath cleaned the painting and frame, consolidated fl aking paint, and fi lled in distracting losses.
Art Book SaleIn October 2012, the Council organized a special sale of art books to benefi t the Helen Farr Sloan Library & Archives. More than $2,000 was raised to acquire new books for the Library.
