Welcome to the Honolulu Museum of Art

2 exhibitions 3 3

Dear Honolulu Museum of Art members, You’ve seen the cover of this magazine—it has a new look, and a new name. They are just two of the changes that reflect a gift so great that it is transforming. Since July, with the gift of The Contemporary Museum to the Honolulu Academy of Arts, there has been a strong sense on the Board of Trustees that this gift is indeed an opportunity to change… into one great museum with several locations and a unifying mission to serve our public.

After much research, debate, and soul searching, the board voted to change the public name of our museum. We looked at many options and settled on the simple solu-tion: The Honolulu Museum of Art. And we didn’t pull that out of a hat—Academy founder Anna Rice Cooke filed the original charter with the Territory of Hawaii on March 15, 1922, as the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Among the many reasons to change our name was a simple, hard-to-ignore fact: Visitors to O‘ahu, upon hearing the Academy’s name, assumed we were exclu-sively an art school. Indeed, in a marketing survey of O‘ahu tourists, only 13 percent of the guests realized that the Academy was an art museum that they could visit. A common response from visitors was that they love visiting art museums but had never visited an art school on vacation.

Of course, we will not stop at changing our name. Over the next year you will see a greater range of exhibitions and educa-tional programs. One of the most noticeable changes is right on the Honolulu Museum of Art’s front lawn—Patrick Dougherty’s massive sculpture made of thousands of invasive strawberry guava saplings cleared from Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden. This year, the temporary exhibitions have been chosen not only to ensure that our longtime members are engaged, but to also attract new visitors to our world class museum. Some, like Hiroshige: An Artist’s Journey, will feel familiar while others such as Tattoo Honolulu should bring in new audiences. And naturally we hope that first-time visitors delve into our

permanent collection galleries, which are also in the midst of a makeover that will be completed in September.

The Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House, with its amazing location in Makiki Heights, is also undergoing changes. Deputy Director Allison Wong has been working with a team of educators to refocus the venue on great art and education. In January, we converted the shop into a classroom that is now bustling with students (the new shop will open in late summer) and visitors can enjoy the Biennial of Hawai‘i Artists X through July 22.

If you have visited the Honolulu Museum of Art School (aka Linekona) you will also see that the building is bursting at the seams with students and the many people who come by the gallery for the showcases of work by the island’s best artists and crafts-people. Registration for children’s summer classes starts in April—they fill up quickly so please make sure you enroll that special child in your life early. Of course, we hope that you also bring them to the free Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday (see p. 22)!

At a recent planning meeting for our ConTempo gala, taking place at Neiman Marcus on April 21, the topic was ideas for this year’s theme. One woman suggested

“Fresh StART”—which struck us all as a brilliant choice, simultaneously putting the emphasis on art, and capturing our exciting new world of budding prospects as the Honolulu Museum of Art.

Sincerely, Stephan

Comforts for the Soul: Han Dynasty Arts for the Afterlife March 1–November 4, 2012

Roughly contemporaneous with the Roman Empire, the Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220) marked the first lasting unification of China under an imperial lineage, and is one of the golden ages of Chinese history. To this day, the largest ethnic group in China still refers to itself as the “Han people,” in recognition of the pivotal role this period played in defining traditional Chinese culture.

Like the ancient Egyptians, Han-dynasty Chinese had complex beliefs concerning the afterlife. They referred to the tomb as a “subter-ranean palace” (digong), and filled it with objects that the soul was believed to need after death. Such items convey much about life 2,000 years ago, from painted designs on sculptures that preserve textile patterns and dress styles, to personal adornments inlaid with gold and silver, and ceramic models of buildings that reveal the unique quali-ties of Chinese wood-frame architecture.

The museum’s extensive holdings of art from the Han dynasty date back to the founding of the museum in 1927. The exhibition highlights Han works as well as selected items from the preceding Warring States period (475-221 B.C.) that formed the foundation for Han culture to thrive. Many of the works in the exhibition have not been on display in decades (in some cases not since they first entered the museum)—this is a rare opportunity to rediscover the superb traces of these remark-able periods from our own vaults.—SHAwN EiCHMAN, CurAtor of ASiAN Art

regal and royal Hawaiian Quilts March 1–June 17, 2012

Through Hawaiian quilts, we can see a century and a half of cultural adaptation and change. On view will be 11 historic quilts from the museum’s collection in celebration of this Hawaiian textile tradition.

Hawaiian quiltmaking is an art recognized the world over, and the majority of works feature a single distinctive and dramatic floral design cut from a single piece of cloth, appliquéd and quilted onto a background cloth, also of a solid color. The naming of Hawaiian quilt designs is the originator’s privilege; some are more straightforward while others have poetic names that echo Hawaiian legends, as in Ka Ua Kani Lehua (The Rain That Rustles Lehua Blossoms), in reference to the delicate flower sacred to Pele, goddess of fire and the volcano.

The show also reveals fascinating and important exceptions. Prestigious flag quilts such as Ku’u Hae Aloha (My Beloved Flag), which pay nostalgic homage to the lost Hawaiian Kingdom, stand out as unique in concept and execution. They boldly depict Hawaiian flags and the royal coat-of-arms. Quilt designs also reflect the makers’ aloha for and adoration of their beloved monarchs. Ke Kahi O Ka‘iulani (The

Comb of Ka‘iulani) commemorates Princess Ka‘iulani (1875-1899) who lived in the twilight years of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The compel-ling Na Kihapai Nani Lua ‘Ole O Edena A Me Elenale (The Beautiful Unequaled Gardens of Eden and of Elenale) features unusual large-scale human images, and other quilts demonstrate imaginative patterns rarely seen in the tradition of Hawaiian quilt making.

The exhibition includes a Family Heirloom Quilt Workshop led by conservator Linda Hee. See p. 22. —SArA okA, CollECtioN MANAgEr of

In addition, the special conservation/educational exhibit “Colors of Sustainability” will promote awareness of sustainable growing practices through the use of native plant materials.

Schaefer Portrait Challenge 2012 first Hawaiian Center May 23-September 14

What is a portrait? The works in the triennial Schaefer Portrait Challenge turn the notion of a picture of a person on its head. From a carved lava pohaku by Hoaka Delos Reyes to an abstract steel sculpture by Patrick Daniel Sarsfield, the show makes it clear that portraiture knows no restrictions. The 57 artists from six islands used oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, graphite, wood, stone, clay, metal and quilting to create their moving portraits. The winner of the $15,000 Juror’s Choice Award is Maui’s Jonathan Yukio Clark who painted an image of his grandmother on a mosaic of native wood. The three jurors are artists Sally French, Duane Preble (a Honolulu Museum of Art trustee) and Michael Takemoto.

The exhibition is organized by the Maui Arts & Cultural Center and pre-sented in collaboration with the Honolulu Museum of Art.

kawase Hasui: Capturing the Ephemeral March 22–June 17, 2012

Early in the 20th century, publisher Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) launched an effort to revitalize traditionally made woodblock prints. Watanabe sought to preserve the collaborative process (between publisher, designer, block-carvers and printers) while introducing updated subjects and styles that were commercially viable for a contemporary audience. He eventually coined the term shin-hanga, or “New Prints,” for this artistic movement. Although shin-hanga has been criticized for its conservatism, and, until recently, under-recognized by art historians, it nevertheless represents one of the most successful trends in 20th-century Japanese art.

Watanabe worked with many designers, but developed a special relationship with Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), with whom he collaborated for nearly 40 years. Hasui excelled in capturing the atmospheric effects of rain, mist and snow, seasonal imagery, and evocative lighting in his nostalgic scenes of the vanishing traditional countryside. In this sense, Hasui can be considered a leading Japanese landscape artist of the 20th century, building upon the foundation established by predecessors like Hokusai (1760-1849) and Hiroshige (1797-1858).

On September 1, 1923, Tokyo was struck by a massive earthquake, devastating the city and killing more than 100,000 people. Both Hasui’s home and Watanabe’s studio were destroyed, resulting in the loss of most of the blocks used for Hasui’s print designs. For this reason, the prints produced by Watanabe and Hasui before the earthquake are now exceptionally rare. This exhibition focuses on Hasui’s pre-earthquake prints, beginning with the artist’s earliest designs and continuing through his first major series.—SHAwN EiCHMAN, CurAtor of ASiAN Art

the living Mirror: luminaries of 20th-Century Modernist Photography April 12–August 12, 2012At the close of the 19th century, photography shifted from a pictorial style, characterized by images with soft lighting, brilliant high-lights and rich blacks that were manipulated and reconstructed during the printing process. A new society called the Photo Secessionists was formed, and their credo was to advance photography as “pure” or “straight,” meaning that the medium would be devoid of manipulation, free of Victorian sentimentality, and painterly subjects.

This exhibition of photographs from the museum’s collection demonstrates how photography evolved from Pictorialism to a new emphasis on craft described by art critic Susan Sontag as “impeccable lighting, skill of composition, clarity of subject, precision of focus, perfection of print quality.” On view are iconic works by some of the most innova-tive and influential 20th-century American and European photographers who played a key role in shaping the evolution of photog-raphy and legitimizing it as an art form.

From still lifes of household items and botanical studies, nudes, and portraits of the cultural elite, to the grandeur of the American West, these photographs concen-trate on a broad variety of subjects and are given equal significance.

Each photograph stands alone as a beautifully composed gem celebrated not only for its technical perfection but also for the photographer’s bold and direct gaze on the vital essence of his subject. As photog-rapher Edward Steichen wrote, “Look at the subject, think about it before photographing, look until it becomes alive and looks back at you.”—giNA CAruSo, CurAtor of filM AND

Toshiko Takaezu: The PaintingsWhile Hawaii-born artist Toshiko Takaezu (1922–2011) is internationally known for her ceramic works, for a brief period of time in the early 1970s, when she didn’t have a kiln for firing clay, she occupied herself making paint-ings on canvas. Drawing works from her estate, with three paintings and several large ceramic forms from the museum’s collection, this exhi-bition of more than 15 works is the first time they have been exhibited publicly together.

Takaezu developed a highly personal, expressive approach to glazing her ceramic works, which have been likened to abstract expressionist paintings on clay. Not surpris-ingly, her interests in painting on canvas were similar. The larger area for painting also allowed her to experiment with broad swathes of colors to a greater extent than in her ceramics. Painting with mixed acrylic pigments also allowed her to see imme-diately what was happening and react accordingly, whereas in glazing ceramics the true colors of only appear after the firing—a “surprise” that Takaezu enjoyed. Once Takaezu again had a kiln, she returned to making only ceramics.

New school kilnIn December, Donovan Palmquist and his Master Kiln Builders constructed a new soda kiln behind the Honolulu Museum of Art School, on the footprint of the old soda kiln,

whose bricks were deteriorating. The new forced-draft kiln is fired up once a month (to 2000˚F!) and will yield about 200 firings. The project cost $23,000 and was funded by revenue from last year’s Studio Benefit Sale and donations from Diane Chen, Brian Choy, Peter Drewliner and Charles Higa.

The kiln was off to an auspi-cious start in January when the school did a firing of dozens of ceramic dragons.

Spalding House classroomIn January the space that was Spalding House’s Museum Shop reopened as a studio classroom. Artist-instructor Roger Whitlock inaugurated it with a watercolor class. Architects Kirk Malanchuk and Mark Little of the firm Eight Inc. redesigned the space, and construction and plumbing were completed by contractor 57 Builders.

New Japanese Art Research AssociateIn January, the Asian Art Department welcomed Stephen Salel as the new Robert F. Lange Research Associate for Japanese Art. Salel started his career as an artist, and while a graduate student at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia (MFA 1993), he began to experi-ment with woodblock prints. In 1994, he moved to Japan and, while teaching English for the Ministry of Education, produced artwork and studied traditional ink painting. Upon returning to the States in 2000, Stephen studied Japanese art history at the University of Washington where he earned a second Masters degree. Before joining the museum, Stephen was the manager of Seattle gallery Kagedo Japanese Art for five years.

Allan Antliff contests this reading of Vorticism as a marginal affair by arguing for an American variation of Vorticism in art. Tracing the impact of Ezra Pound’s configura-tion of Vorticist aesthetics in the Blast, New Age, and Egoist journals on Man Ray and others in his circle during 1914–1917, Antliff unpacks a new chapter in the history of Man Ray’s oeuvre. His discussion culminates with an examination of Man Ray’s critical reworking of Vorticism’s precepts under the influence of Marcel Duchamp. Man Ray’s turn to Dada, Antliff argues, begins here.
