John Ottis AdamsUntitled (Peasant Girl at Harvest), 1885Oil on canvasGift of Paula and Robert Sexton in memory of Donna Novotney, 2011.02

It is a pleasure to join the Swope community in working to support one of the nation’s outstanding museums of American art. The depth and breadth of the Swope Art Museum’s exhibitions, programs and special events last year are truly impressive and reflect the Museum’s longstand-ing commitment to serving residents and visitors of the Wabash Valley through opportunities to engage with the visual arts.

Many of you have missed seeing Threshing Wheat by Thomas Hart Benton in the galleries. It has been out for conservation in Indianapolis. Linda A. Witkowski, Senior Conservator of Paintings at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, is concluding treatment of the painting, and Threshing Wheat should be back on display at the Swope by early October, look-ing better than ever.

I am delighted to report that on September 15, the Swope was awarded $5,000 for its endowment from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation. The Foundation, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this fall, hosted a community expo and dinner at which $20,000 was given to eight nonprofit agencies based on attendee votes that evening. The Boards, volunteers, and staff of the Swope are grateful to the Wabash Valley Community Foundation for this significant gift and to the many voters that evening who thought the Swope was worthy of this wonderful recognition.

The past year’s accomplishments would not be possible without the hard work and support of so many individuals and groups. Members of the Boards, the Alliance, the Art Hoppers, docents, sponsors, donors, members and staff have made invaluable contributions to the success and vitality of the Swope’s exhibitions and programs for Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley. Next year, the Museum’s 70th, promises to be even more exciting!

One of the oldest and most prestigious juried exhibitions in Indiana, the 66th Annual Wabash Valley Juried Exhibition exhibited the work of 53 Wabash Valley artists. The exhibition was a great opportunity for visitors to become familiar with the work of many of the region’s talented artists. The distinguished juror was Dr. Gregory Gilbert, associate professor and director of the Art History Program at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, and senior curator of the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa, where he is director of the National Center for Midwest Art and Design. The exhibition exemplifies the Swope’s commitment to presenting the work of local and regional artists.

The Samara House: A Usonian Design by Frank Lloyd WrightOctober 1- December 31, 2010Haslem and Hodge Galleries

A modest design in Frank Lloyd Wright terms, the Samara house in West Lafayette, Indiana was designed in the 1950s using the Usonian concept the famous architect developed in the 1930s and 40s for the average American. Wright’s Usonian houses used the local materials available to each client along with prefabricated walls made of plywood and insulation, making the homes affordable. The Usonian house derives from the acronym Usonia, which the architect used for the United States of North America. Attributes of the Usonian design include the elimination of attic and basement, which were replaced by a single story built on a slab foundation; flat roofs with overhanging eves; an open floor plan in the public areas that allowed for easy flow; grouped utilities; carports; and windows placed strategically for views of natures, privacy, and natural light. John E. and Catherine (Kay) Christian contacted Wright in the 1950s to build the Samara House on a plot of land on which Dr. Christian had planted evergreen trees. Wright named the house Samara, “winged seeds,” and made the pine samara the unifying ornamental theme of the house.

In recognition of this exemplary representation of the Usonian style, the John E. Christian Family has set up a trust to ensure the long-term care of the house as well as public programming such as the exhibition of furniture, blueprints and other items from the house that was displayed at the Swope in fall 2010.

The French Connection: Gifts to the Swope Collection Given by and in Memory of Ray and Martha FrenchFebruary 4 – March 12, 2011Haslem and Hodge GalleriesMade possible by the Alliance of the Swope

Renowned printmaker and professor of art Ray French (1919-2000) had a long relationship with the Swope Art Museum, beginning with his first solo exhibition, held at the Swope in 1943. French’s work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and the Swope Art Museum. In addition to his important contributions as both printmaker and teacher, French also assembled an extensive collection of prints, many of which he eventually gifted to the Swope Art Museum. The French Connection: Gifts to the Swope Collection Given by and in Memory of Ray and Martha French highlighted the longstanding and valuable relationship between the French family and Swope collection and included work in a variety of media by Ray French and artists who studied with him, as well as Hoosier and American favorites from the early 20th century to the present. The legacy of Ray French continues with recent acquisitions to the Swope collection that are purchased with the Ray and Martha French Memorial Funds. Tom French, the son of Ray and Martha French and an art dealer, has continued the family connection to the Museum by donating works of art as well as guiding many new gifts to the Swope through his encouragement of others.

Exploring Portraiture invited viewers to examine the variety of ways that artists capture personality through this exhibition drawn from the Swope collection. Many of the works had not been on view in several years. American portraits from the 1800s were displayed directly next to those by more contemporary artists, providing audiences with the chance to compare approaches. Visitors also had the chance to draw their companion or to make their own self portrait.
