Mission Statement
The Georgia Museum of Art shares
the mission of the University of Georgia
to support and to promote teaching,
research and service. Specifically, as
a repository and educational instrument
of the visual arts, the museum exists
to collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret
significant works of art.
Partial support for the exhibitions and programs
at the Georgia Museum of Art is provided by
the W. Newton Morris Charitable Foundation,
the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art and
the Georgia Council for the Arts through the
appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly.
The Council is a partner agency of the National
Endowment for the Arts. Individuals, foundations
and corporations provide additional support
through their gifts to the University of Georgia
Foundation. The Georgia Museum of Art is
ADA compliant; the M. Smith Griffith Auditorium
is equipped for the hearing-impaired.

Because we have been finishing our self-study for reaccreditation over the past year, a time-consuming but worthwhile process
of self-examination, the staff and I have been talking about how
we “fit” at the University of Georgia, as we pride ourselves on
our statewide mission of community service, which is not only
complementary but essential to our academic mission as
well. We are both fish and fowl, as it were, devoted to lifelong
learners in our lay communities of service as well as to our
immediate audience of students, faculty and staff at the
University of Georgia. It is my belief, and part of my vision,
if you will, for the museum over the past two decades, that
in order to reach our goals, we have to do our homework: at
the Georgia Museum of Art, teaching and service are both
strengthened as core values by and dependent on scholarship.
Research then is the pillar of our mission.
So, it was gratifying and illuminating for me when our editor
and head of the communications department here, Hillary
Brown, carried out a study for me on the successes of our
internship program. Not counting the numerous classes from the university and other colleges in northeast Georgia who
use the museum, I asked Hillary to determine the number of students who have had internships, volunteer or for-credit,
who have been in our work-study program or who have been classified as taking museum-study courses.
Since 1988, we have had more than 500 interns and work-study
students pass through the halls of the museum. Many have
worked for more than one semester or in more than one depart-
ment. Annelies Mondi, now our deputy director, was a student
assistant back in 1988, and several other staff members also started
out as our students: Lynn Boland, now Pierre Daura Curator of
European Art; Carissa DiCindio, now curator of education; Mary
Koon, now in our department of publications; Christy Sinksen, now
a registrar; and Hillary.
Those of our students who have managed to leave Athens (by
far the larger number) have gone on to impressive careers in the
arts, in academics, in public relations, in graphic design and in
numerous other fields. Anthony Goicolea, who spoke here in
January and recently had a major midcareer survey open at the
Jepson Center in Savannah, is one of the most notable names,
but we hear from our former students frequently. They tell us how much they learned in their time here and what an
invaluable experience working behind the scenes at a museum was. We appreciate equally everything they do, and we
learn as much from them as they do from us.

Quiet Spirit, Skillful Hand: The Graphic Work of Clare LeightonNovember 19, 2011–February 3, 2012
Organized by the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, N.C., this exhibition includes images from the Mint’s Pratt
Collection, one of the largest collections of Clare Leighton’s work in the country, and spans Leighton’s career
from 1923 to 1965. “Quiet Spirit, Skillful Hand: The Graphic Work of Clare Leighton” provides a full survey of
Leighton’s career, from her earliest prints in the 1920s that depict the labors of the English working classes
to a selection of her rarely seen watercolors. Unique to the collection is a set of 12 Wedgwood plates titled
“New England Industries,” for which Leighton designed the transfer-printed images. Among the exhibition’s
highlights are the prints that resulted from Leighton’s early visits to North America, including “The Breadline,
New York” and “Snow Shovellers, New York,” as well as the artist’s entire Canadian Lumber Camp series.
A full-color catalogue of the exhibition will be available for sale in the Museum Shop and online.

Buon Natale: Holiday Prints by Elizabeth Bailey November 19–December 31, 2011
This exhibition features Elizabeth Bailey’s holiday wood-
cuts, which have a distinctly Italian flavor. A Georgia
native and an art history professor at Wesleyan College
in Macon, Ga., Bailey has studied art in Cortona and
Florence, Italy, and has recently begun to study art in
England, France and Germany. The Italian influence
on her holiday prints is evident not only in such titles as
“Ave Maria Grazia Plena,” but also in subject, compo-
sition and style. Bailey has exhibited her work throughout
the United States and in Italy.

Lycett ChinaDecember 3, 2011–March 4, 2012
Edward Lycett (American, b. England, 1833–1910) was an important porcelain painter who immigrated to New York
from Great Britain in 1861. By the early 1880s, Lycett and his family had settled in Atlanta and opened a studio devoted
to porcelain decoration with the ancillary mission of educating young women. The studio secured its porcelain blanks
from a Haviland firm near Limoges, France. Lycett china became a staple of upper-middle-class Georgia society and is
found today in many Georgia homes. Although Lycett is best known for its white china with gold trim, most of the 30
pieces in this exhibition are paint decorated.
Co-curators: Dale Couch, adjunct curator, Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts,
and Michelle Miller, independent scholar

Introduction to the CentersDecember 3, 2011–March 4, 2012
One of the key elements in GMOA’s expansion was the
construction of its Study Centers in the Humanities, four
named units containing archives that supplement the
museum’s collection and promote hands-on research.
This small exhibition serves as an introduction to the
Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts
and follows the introduction to its sister centers––the C.L.
Morehead Jr. Center for the Study of American Art, the
Jacob Burns Foundation Center (devoted to the study of
prints and drawings) and the Pierre Daura Center––on
view through November 20. A variety of objects acces-
sioned over the past 40 years, including the first piece of
furniture purchased by Green, as well as recent acquisi-
tions of pottery and silver will be on view.

Images of the Midwest from the CollectionDecember 17, 2011–February 27, 2012
This special, temporary display complements “Dale Nichols: Transcending
Regionalism” and features images of the Midwest by American artists. The
works are drawn from the permanent collection of the Georgia Museum of
Art as well as from objects on extended loan to the museum from the collec-
tion of Jason Schoen, Princeton, N.J. These American Scene images of the
Midwest provide an aesthetic and historical context for Nichols’ paintings.

Dale Nichols: Transcending RegionalismDecember 17, 2011–February 27, 2012
Organized by the Bone Creek Museum of Agrarian Art in David City, Neb., this retrospective exhibition presents Nebraska native
Dale Nichols’ nostalgic images of rural America. Paintings dating from 1935 to 1972 establish Nichols not only as a Regionalist in the
company of such great artists as Grant Wood and Thomas Hart Benton, but one who transcended the confines of the genre to achieve
universal success. This exhibition represents a recollection of Nichols’ years on the farm in Nebraska but manifests those memories
in a variety of styles and places. Nichols held firm to his midwestern roots while he traveled the world in search of adventure and truth.
Imbued with the inherent problems of isolation, poverty and inequality within American society, Nichols’ art references and upholds
an American agrarian ideal.

Bill Viola: Collected Work, 1977–80December 3, 2011–February 19, 2012
Pioneering video artist Bill Viola helped make the medium
vital to contemporary art in the 1970s and 1980s and
remains among its most important practitioners. The artist
describes this work as “a collection of five independent
works which, taken as a whole, describe the stages of
a personal journey using images of transition—from day to
night, motion to stillness, time to timelessness, etc. Each
work explores specific video techniques and technologies,
in combination with the spatial potentials of stereo sound.”

The Kress Foundation
The Kress Project
Generously supported by the Samuel H. Kress Founda-
tion, the Kress Project is part of a two-year initiative
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Georgia Museum
of Art’s Samuel H. Kress Study Collection. The project
is among GMOA’s most prominent efforts to enlarge and
diversify the museum’s audience during its reopening
year. The primary goal of the Kress Project is to promote
the study of and response to these objects by the public
at large and investigate new ways to interpret the
collection.
Since its arrival in Athens, and especially since the early
1990s, the Kress Study Collection has been the key
motivation for GMOA’s research in early Italian art.
Today, the Kress Gallery prominently features our 12
Kress paintings from the Trecento, Renaissance and
Baroque periods, as well as drawings, paintings and
sculpture and period furniture on extended loan.
Call for Entries
GMOA is soliciting responses both within the United
States and internationally through February 1, 2012,
to the 12 trecento, Renaissance and Baroque paintings
in the museum’s Kress Gallery.
Submissions must be inspired by a work in the collec-
tion, which can be viewed in person or online. Entries
may be in a variety of creative media, including but
not limited to:
• Academic writing
• Creative writing
• Visual art
• Choreography
• Fashion design
• Film
• Music
All ages and education levels are encouraged to
participate. Entries will be posted to the website
throughout the year. Up to 24 winners will win $500
and have their work published in a multimedia book.
Katherine Jones, Publications Intern
Samuel H. Kress opened the first of his 264 S.H. Kress & Co. Five and Ten Cent Stores in Memphis, Tenn., in 1896. Locals admired the well-designed stores not only for their quality
and inexpensive merchandise but also as prominent landmarks. Kress opened a store in 1915 in Athens at
153 East Clayton Street in the Talmadge building, where Flirt Fashions is located today. Shortly after opening
his chain of five-and-ten-cent stores, Kress began collecting European art with the intention of one day
sharing his collection with the public. In December 1938, the Kress flagship store at the corner of Fifth Avenue
and Thirty-Ninth Street in New York City featured Giorgione’s “Allendale Nativity,” a recent acquisition
by Kress, in its holiday window display (the building was demolished in 1980). Although he made his first
donation to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and afterwards donated more than 400 paintings and sculptures
to the National Gallery of Art, Kress wanted to make great works of art available to people in towns outside
of major urban centers across the United States. The Samuel H. Kress Foundation was established in 1929
as part of this initiative. Although Kress died in 1955, his brother Rush H. Kress continued to manage the
activities of the foundation and oversee the distribution of the remaining works in the collection. In 1976, the
Foundation published a complete, fully illustrated catalogue of the Kress collection to make the works even
more accessible to the public. Today, the Kress Foundation continues to be active in the academic and the
art world. The foundation awards grants for dissertation research in art history as well as research fellowships
and fellowships in art conservation.
The Kress storefront in Columbia, S.C., now houses an
architecture firm.

The keynote address will be by Georgia
native Deanne Deavours (formerly
Levison). Deavours is a premier dealer
in Georgia and in the nation, and she will
be speaking about her long and distin-
guished career in the field of American
decorative arts, in which she is acclaimed
for her skill and connoisseurship. She was
also a moving force in the establishment
of Georgia plain-style furniture as a topic
of study and collecting within the state.
Deavours authored much of the “Neat
Pieces” catalogue in connection to the
exhibition of the same name, which
introduced Georgia vernacular furniture
to the canon. She has also published in
the Magazine Antiques and worked with
Albert Sack to rewrite “The New Fine
Points of Furniture” (known commonly as
“Good, Better and Best”), a guide to
American furniture connoisseurship. She
has lectured widely throughout the nation.
Dale Couch, adjunct curator of decorative
arts at GMOA, noted that “Deanne
Deavours’ outstanding career is one
example of how the field of Georgia
decorative arts is connected to the
national scene. She is a native daughter
who has brought home national standards
of collecting and scholarship. She has
fostered many of the important private and
museum collections within the state and
she has been an indispensable supporter
of Georgia Museum of Art programs. She
is an invaluable member of the Decorative
Arts Advisory Committee.”
Other topics at the upcoming symposium
include Lycett porcelain painting in Atlanta,
pottery archeology in Washington County,
Windsor chair construction, the African
Donor Spotlight: Peggy Galis
Homecoming
P eggy Heard Galis, who has been on
GMOA’s Decorative Arts Advisory
Committee since its inception, is
central to the museum’s decorative
arts program. She is particularly suitable for
supporting the program’s mission, as decorative
arts of Georgia form its core. Peggy is not only a
lifelong resident of our region, but she also descends
from many of its pioneer settlers, including Stephen
Heard, a colorful figure in Georgia’s history, who
became one of its earliest governors.
Peggy’s interests are not limited to the decorative
arts but embrace aspects of southern culture
as diverse as foodways and linguistics; southern
literature and antiquarian tales; historical architec-
ture and gardens; civil rights history and Alabama
settlement of Georgians. She is almost as well known
in Alabama as Georgia and has a similar command
of its history. She inhales ideas and is as thirsty
for knowledge as anyone I know. Her command of
regional history goes far beyond the casual old-fash-
ioned versions; she is as up to date with historical
scholarship as many active professionals.
Without Peggy and her many and various contribu-
tions, our success would be unimaginable. I am
indebted to her on many levels for all that she has
given: objects, personal encouragement, social
grace and sheer enthusiasm! Peggy has been an
important ambassador not only for the Henry D.
Green Center, but for all of Athens. Her hospitality
and charm are legendary and are synonymous with
events surrounding the Green Symposia.
Peggy has given two chief objects to the collections
that are both extremely rare and significant. The
miniature portrait of Augustin Clayton (top left), an
influential early Athenian, is one of our highest
quality regional works of art. It is attributable to
Joseph Pierre Picôt de Clorivière, a Frenchman
working in the Piedmont in the early 19th century.
Picot’s work is likely among the highest quality
of all work in any media that was produced in this
region in its early period of settlement. The two
chairs Peggy recently donated (opposite) are the
finest examples of their type known, and the last of
this quality known that were not already in museum
collections. They evidence a pronounced Franco-
Germanic influence and make an important state-
ment on the diversity of our early settlement. The
chairs have more in common with examples from
Quebec or Louisiana than with those of the upper
South and are among the most notable develop-
ments in the Piedmont style. Peggy has long had
these chairs, and they were centerpieces in her
home. It was a sacrifice to donate them, and we all are
indebted to her and her husband Denny. According
to our director, Bill Eiland, “Peggy is much like the
objects of material culture we treasure: she teaches,
she inspires, she enlightens.”
Even if we could have achieved so much without
Peggy, it would not have been nearly as gratifying.
She enriches every event, program or entity that
touches her.

The Sixth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts • February 2–4, 2012
The Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts has announced the dates for its sixth Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts, with the title and theme of “Homecoming.” The title represents our return to the Georgia Museum of Art’s wonder-ful facility, the return of the Billups portraits to Georgia and the return of the symposium to Georgia-related topics.
American presence in the decorative arts
of the South, an analysis of the work of
Gene Thomas, historical house restoration
and southern needlework and southern
clockmakers. Ashley Callahan will serve as
guest curator for a show of Gene Thomas’
important Colonial Revival carpentry, and
Michelle Miller will co-organize with Couch
an exhibition of Lycett porcelain painting.
These exhibitions will meld with the new
permanent Forio and Odum galleries to
provide the attendees of the symposium
with much new material to absorb.
The symposium will be held at the
Georgia Center for Continuing Education,
and evening events will be at GMOA.
Shuttle bus service will be offered.
Registration forms will be mailed. To
update your contact information or to add
a friend to the mailing list please call

“Precious Knowledge” Thursday, September 15, 6:30 p.m.M. Smith Griffith AuditoriumIn this documentary (2010) directed by Ari Palos and
Eren McGinnis, disenfranchised high school seniors
become academic warriors and community leaders in
Tucson, Arizona’s embattled ethnic studies classes while
state lawmakers attempt to eliminate the program. Spe-
cial guests Palos and McGinnis will speak about the film

“Norteado”Thursday, September 22, 6:30 p.m.M. Smith Griffith AuditoriumRigoberto Pérezcano’s debut feature (2009) is the ac-
count of one man’s dogged determination to win a better
life for himself and his family. Andres hails from Oaxaca
in the southern mountains of Mexico. Like many before
him, he engages an unscrupulous, people-trafficking
“coyote” to get him across the U.S. border, but he’s in-
evitably conned and left stranded and cashless in Tijuana

“Los que se quedan”Thursday, September 29, 7 p.m.M. Smith Griffith AuditoriumThis intimate documentary (2008) follows a number
of families left behind by loved ones who have crossed
the U.S. border in search of better opportunities.
Examining the emotional cost of long-term estrange-
ment, directors Juan Carlos Rulfo and Carlos
Hagerman find rich cinematic metaphors in the de-
serted, newly constructed homes on the highway, their
empty rooms a powerful reminder of the absence of
family members (96 minutes, NR).
