Dear Readers,

Yesterday, at the museum, we concluded the symposium “The Enlightened Gaze: Gender, Power and Visual Culture in 18th-Century Russia,” held in conjunction with the exhibition “Exuberance of Meaning: The Art Patronage of Catherine the Great (1762–1796).” Presenting papers were scholars from throughout the nation and world, with notable figures in the museum and university life of Russia. It followed another symposium, actually a true colloquium with a lively panel discussion at the end, that we held earlier that month in furthering the research engendered and developed for the exhibition “Cercle et Carré and the International Spirit of Abstract Art,” projects from our Pierre Daura Center. Moreover, we published the scholarship of Professor Perri Lee Roberts of the Univer-sity of Miami in a beautifully designed “chapbook”: “The Material of Culture: Renaissance Medals and Textiles from the Ulrich A. Middeldorf Collection.”

All three exhibitions and the concurrent symposia and publications reflect our continuing belief that service to our publics and the extension of teaching opportunities are dependent on research. I hope that you will take note of such proceedings in the future and will join us for in-depth studies of issues in the history of art. These occasions allow us to dis-seminate new knowledge, and, thus, to ensure that, through the visual arts, we encourage life-long learning. Most important, I hope you see the exhibitions that occasioned these projects. An alert for those of you who regularly attend our biennial Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts: the next one, our seventh, Connections: Georgia in the World, occurs Jan. 30 through Feb. 1, and I urge you to sign up early. These gather-ings are normally at capacity.

Some 26 of our patrons and collectors have just returned from an invigorating tour of sites and museums in Virginia and Washington, D.C. The group had the remarkable privilege of visiting two private houses in Virginia’s lovely coun-tryside, as well as Mount Vernon. In Washington, our traveling Collectors visited special exhibitions and installa-tions in the great public museums of our nation’s capital. Moreover, we enjoyed an eye-opening tour of the U.S. Capitol. Dining was a daily treat as were our rather sumptuous accommodations. As always, we experienced unexpected adventures: please ask any of the group about our encounters with the secret service and their bomb-sniffing dogs (!) at the Willard Hotel. Better yet, sign up early for future trips to Charleston with the Collectors and to Buenos Aires and Canada with the Patrons’ Group. Watch your mail, if you are members, for notification of these and other trips and special events. Michele Turner, who has returned as our special events coordinator, will be glad to answer any questions about future trips.

It is with sadness that I remark the deaths of three supporters from the museum’s extended family. Ed Forio (above), a former chair of our Board of Advisors, was a firm and outspoken advocate on our behalf. He and his beloved wife, Phoebe, have been stalwart supporters of our decorative arts initiatives, and Ed was instrumental in our development efforts both before and after our move into the East Campus building in 1996. Vocal in articulating our mission, especially in Atlanta, Ed brought new members into the fold. Ever a gentleman, always a friend, Ed leaves a distinctive mark on our history. On a personal note, I am especially sorrowful at his demise. Ed and I grew close over the years of working and traveling together, and I shall sorely miss him.

Helen McConnell, a member of our Board of Advisors for many years, also succumbed to an extended illness in October 2013. Helen and her late husband, Ed, parents of present-day board member Mark McCon-nell, were committed collectors of American paintings and sculpture, art glass and pottery and Tiffany lamps. Their passion for the collections they developed was matched by the assiduous research and painstaking care with which they studied and cared for those objects. Forthright and direct, honest and perceptive, Helen was a true daughter of north Georgia. She and I had annual luncheons during the holidays, and I shall especially miss her blunt counsel and her refreshing company.

The University of Georgia and the city of Athens, not to speak of the museum, suffered a grievous loss with the death of Tom Dyer. Fittingly, his memorial service was packed with mourners, and I won-dered then what I would have said on the occasion had I been eulogizing someone so important to our joint history. It came to me at the end of one of the homilies, a simple remembrance that is also a prayer: Tom Dyer was a good man.

The staff join me in sincere condolences to the families of Ed Forio, Helen McCon-nell and Tom Dyer.

The nature of film and video as a medium often

compels artists to focus on the idea of seeing and

being seen. In this exhibition, Charles Atlas, VALIE

EXPORT and Shelly Silver all address the “rules of

looking” and how they are affected by gender roles. All

three videos take place in a public space, which leads

the viewer to question the existence of privacy in the

public realm. Is it acceptable or even expected to stare

simply because the environment is no longer explicitly

private? Each artist takes a humorous approach to

these issues in a range of scenarios: a woman allowing

the public to touch her chest through a mini curtained

theater constructed on her torso; a man dressed in

an outlandish “Mrs. Peanut” costume strutting down

the street in Lucite heels; and a woman stalking men

through the streets of Paris as they try to evade her.

It’s Not Polite to StareJanuary 7–March 20, 2014

Georgia artist John Greenman (Carolyn

McKenzie and Don E. Carter Professor

of Journalism at the University of

Georgia) utilizes digital technologies

to create exquisitely detailed and

unmanipulated images of landscapes.

The exhibition comprises two series of

photographs: black-and-white images

seen from a car window along Georgia’s

backroads and vivid color images from

all over the world. Greenman’s interest

in shape, tonal range and detail inspires

both sets of photographs. Using these

formal elements as the starting point,

Greenman strives to be open to seeing

beyond mere appearances. He thinks

of the photograph as a two-layered

document, one that records a fact but

at the same time evokes something

deeper and more contemplative.

The Silent Cities of Peru: Archaeological Photographs by Fernando La RosaJanuary 25–March 30, 2014

Fernando La Rosa brings a deep array of

perspectives to his portraits of the awesome

stones and vistas of the Silent Cities of his native

Peru. He has visited these sites over many

years, during which time his photography has

been grounded in a rigorous questioning of the

image. This questioning advances the tradition of

archaeological photography into one of ontology.

Rosa’s long relationship with the sites of Chavín

Huántar, Sechín and Machu Picchu has allowed

him access no longer available to the casual visitor.

As a result of overnight stays, he records elemental

events such the arrival of the sun into interior

sacred spaces. La Rosa captures the mystery of

these amazing, massive stones, which inspire

a sense of disbelief at the skills and labor that

brought these cities into being.

This exhibition includes several dated examples of

Caucasian rugs from 1805 to the early 20th century.

A selection of 11 examples provides the opportunity to

discuss the evolution of design as well as the indigenous

use and wear patterns. Caucasian rugs were regularly

imported into the United States, including Georgia,

throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Linda Chesnut

Linda is a Clarke County native, and her roots lie deep in the Georgia soil. She holds a love for

the decorative arts—Georgia’s in particular—that has

been a driving force in her life and in her work. In 1981,

Linda attended the Museum of Early Southern Decorative

Arts’ (MESDA) summer Institute for Southern Material

Culture. The institute is widely seen as a rite of passage

for professionals and participants in the field of southern

decorative arts, and in just three years, Linda became the

first student to graduate from all three of the themes of the

institute. Her time in these programs covered studies on the

Low Country of South Carolina and Georgia, the Chesapeake

Bay area and the backcountry of the Piedmont. She seized

her chance to learn as much as possible about the field, and

her fierce passion and intellect have allowed her to make a

true difference in the field of Georgia’s decorative arts.

Linda has used her knowledge to promote the understanding

of Georgia material, not only at the museum, but across the

state. She is devoted to her cause and has played a role in

every major exhibition of Georgia’s decorative arts since

Henry D. Green’s landmark exhibition “Furniture of the

Georgia Piedmont Before 1830,” in 1976. Through her work in

the decorative arts, Linda has made and will continue to make

enduring and substantial contributions to Georgia’s cultural

heritage. Dale Couch, curator of decorative arts at the

museum, said, “The landscape of Georgia decorative arts

would be very different today had Linda Chesnut not been a

participant in the field. She has functioned as a liaison

between the curator and academic staff and private collectors

and aficionados. Her very broad grasp of regional decorative

arts provides her with the ability to contextualize Georgia

material instantly.”

She spends her weekends at a farm in Wilkes County with

her husband, J. David Chesnut, often in the company of

their daughter and granddaughter. They have restored a

significant antebellum Georgia house replete with Georgia

plain-style furniture. Linda has given a number of objects to

the museum, including a very rare ornamental needlework

sampler from south Georgia. She has also given much of her

time to the museum and its Henry D. Green Center for the

Study of the Decorative Arts, a research center committed

to studying Georgia’s material culture. Former director of

communications Bonnie Ramsey invited Linda to join the

formative committee in 1999.

As chair of the Decorative Arts Advisory Committee, Linda

has worked tirelessly to improve the museum’s collection,

program, library and regional profile. Because of her

leadership, the Georgia Museum of Art and Georgia’s

decorative arts are known across Georgia, across the United

States and around the world.

Linda Chesnut has been described as the unsung hero

of Georgia culture, a citizen scholar and much more. She

never seeks credit for what she does and only dutifully

accepts public attention—as she had to in early October,

when she was granted the Governor’s Award for the Arts and

Humanities. Director William Underwood Eiland described

Linda and her work best when he wrote her nomination for

the award:

It is impossible to overstate Linda Chesnut’s impact on Georgia’s cultural heritage. She has been transformative in the field of Georgia’s decorative arts, and has worked tirelessly to contribute to the success of others who have followed the call. She has enriched countless lives through her support of and love for the arts and humanities as they pertain to the state of Georgia and to the study and preservation of our unique heritage. She is an explorer who has found a green oasis in the “Sahara of the Bozarts,” wherein the hopes and goals of our forebears are revealed through the tangible evidence of their sense of style and beauty.

Linda Chesnut has received honors and awards, but her

worth is truly measured in what she has given, and what she

continues to give, time and again. She has been a student

and a teacher, a volunteer and a leader. She has given of

herself and her time—and her service has been above and

beyond the call of duty.

Elizabeth FontaineIntern, Department of Communications�

Linda Crowe Chesnut has spent countless hours working for the

betterment of the Georgia Museum of Art and Georgia’s decorative arts,

and, with the seventh biennial Henry D. Green Symposium of the Decorative Arts coming up January 30, she and her efforts

deserve to be in the spotlight.

tions: Georgia in the World. As previously, the UGA Hotel and Conference Center (Georgia Center) will be handling registra-tion through its website.

The full symposium package is $250 and includes Friday and Saturday lunch, Friday evening supper, breaks and admission to all lectures. Those who wish to register for academic events only (attendance at the lectures and breaks, plus all activities free and open to the public) will pay $75. Stu-dents may attend for free but must regis-ter. Registration will be confirmed by mail or email.

On the afternoon of January 30, from 1 to 4 p.m., the Church-Waddel-Brumby House, the Taylor Grady House, the T.R.R. Cobb House and the Ware-Lyndon House will be offering open houses. At 6 p.m., Ronald L. Hurst, Carlisle H. Humelsine Chief Cura-tor and Vice President for Collections, Con-

servation, and Museums, Colonial Wil-liamsburg Foundation, will deliver the keynote lecture, “Southern Furniture Studies: Where We’ve Been, Where We’re Going,” in the Georgia Center’s Mahler Hall. Both Hurst’s lecture and the opening reception that follows, at the Georgia Museum of Art from 7:30 to 9 p.m., are free and open to the public, thanks to the sponsorship of the Georgia Humanities Council. Hurst came to the Colonial Wil-liamsburg Foundation in 1983 as curator of furniture and was named to his current position in 1998. He has organized a wide array of exhibitions and written numerous articles, as well as coauthoring “Southern Furniture, 1680–1830: The Colonial Wil-liamsburg Collection,” winner of the Charles Montgomery Prize for best Ameri-can decorative arts book of 1997.

Lectures for the symposium will take place in Mahler Hall on January 31 and February 1. Margaret Beck Pritchard, senior cura-tor and curator of prints, maps and wallpa-per, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, will present “Revealing Georgia: Viewing the Cultural Landscape through Prints and Maps” (sponsored by the International

Fine Print Dealers Association). Kathleen Staples, independent scholar and textile expert, will speak on William Verelst’s painting “The Common Council of Georgia Receiving the Indian Chiefs,” which hung in London for many years before being purchased by the Winterthur Museum in Delaware.

Andrea Feeser, associate professor of art history at Clemson University, will present “South Carolina Blues: Colonial Indigo Culture,” a subject on which she has recent-ly published a book. Daniel T. Elliott, president of LAMAR Institute, an archaeo-logical research nonprofit, will discuss “Utilitarian Earthenwares in the Ebenezer Settlement, Effingham County, Georgia.” Julia N. Jackson, current programs and marketing director of Historic Augusta, Inc., will present “Sumptuous Goods: The McKinney-Whitehead-Rowland Collection at the Georgia Museum of Art.” Prior to joining Historic Augusta, Inc., a nonprofit historic preservation organization that owns and operates the Boyhood Home of President Woodrow Wilson, Jackson worked at Sotheby’s New York office and specializes in ceramics.

Maryellen Higginbotham, former curator of the Root House Museum & Garden, Cobb Landmarks and Historical Society and a previous presenter, will deliver the talk “Valley View: Reflecting on a Place, Its

People, and Its Furnishings.” In conjunc-tion with the Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts, Higginbo-tham is pursuing a project to document historic interior surface finishes in Georgia. Ashley Callahan, independent scholar and former decorative arts curator at the mu-seum, will present “Scarf and Dress De-signs by Frankie Welch: Highlighting Georgia Through Her Americana.” Welch, a Georgia-born fashion designer, was especially well known for the scarves she created for first ladies including Rosalyn Carter and Ladybird Johnson. Althea Sumpter, professor of filmmaking at the Art Institute of Atlanta, will present “The Materiality of the Gullah Geechee Culture.”

Madelyn Shaw, independent scholar and previous presenter, will speak on “Geor-gia’s Textile Connections: Homespun, Industry and Imports, 1830–1880.” Susan Falls, professor of anthropology, and Jessica R. Smith, artist and fibers professor, both at Savannah College of Art and De-sign, will present “The Yeoman, the Slave, and the Coverlet,” a discussion of Low Country textiles. Jonathan H. Poston, senior director of properties and Hay House director at the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, will present “Shopping from London to Naples for a Future Country ‘Palace’ in Macon: William Butler Johnston

and Anne Tracy Johnston on the Grand Tour, 1851 to 1854.” The Johnstons built Hay House in Macon between 1855 and 1859 in an Italian Renaissance Revival style.

Sandra Strother Hudson, independent scholar and former assistant director of the University of Georgia Press, will present “From London to Shanghai, 1780–1920: How Five Generations of Yonges and Brownes Brought Their Silver to Columbus, Georgia,” and Daniel Kurt

Ackermann, associate curator at the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts at Old Salem and previous participant in the symposium, will present “Shalom Y’all!”: The Material Culture of Savannah’s Early Jewish Home.” As with the previous symposium, students will also present original research, allowing them a forum to learn about the process of scholarship in the field and helping forge the next generation of decorative arts professionals.

Ed Forio’s death in October deserves special mention here. He and his wife, Phoebe, have

been especially devoted to the decorative arts at the Georgia Museum of Art, and one of the two galleries that host our permanent display of such objects from our collection bears their

names. Ed also donated, among many other objects, the Gorham footed berry bowl seen

here, which appeared on our holiday card last year. Ed was a former chair of the museum’s

Board of Advisors, and we will miss his advocacy as much as we will his assistance in

development matters.

Art Interrupted Film Series

“Notorious”Thursday, March 20, 7 p.m.Alfred Hitchcock’s American spy thriller entwines a romantic love story with a suspenseful and intriguing post–World War II espionage operation. Ingrid Bergman plays the American daughter of a convicted Nazi spy. A U.S. agent (Cary Grant) recruits her to spy on Nazis in postwar Rio and, in the process, they fall in love. Also starring Claude Rains. 1946, NR, 101 min.

Directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Greta Garbo and Melvyn Douglas. 1939, NR, 110 min.

After more than 15 years as the museum’s head of security, Lawrence Cross retired October 31, two days after his 75th birthday. We wish him all the best in his leisure and know his granddaughter will be

bringing him to Family Day regularly. Gail Bridges, building manager and museum

employee of almost 24 years, has taken over his role, and we are happy to have someone

filling his shoes who knows the museum so well.

After a tough few months without a special event coordinator, the museum hired Michele

Turner for the position, which she previously held from 1999 to 2008. We hate to lose

Michele as the president of the Friends of the Georgia Museum of Art, but anyone who has

worked with her knows what a pro she is at organization and managing big events. Julie

Roth, president-elect of the Friends, will take over as president.

Kathleen Janvier, who also teaches part-time at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, is helping

out with the preparators as a part-time temporary employee, due to an exceptionally full

slate of exhibitions, and Allison Nicks started in October as assistant registrar in charge of

exhibitions, allowing head registrar Tricia Miller to concentrate her efforts on storage and

collections management.

The museum won five awards in publications design at this year’s Southeastern Museums Conference (SEMC) annual meeting, held October 7–9 in Savannah, Ga. The museum received two

gold awards for publications this year. Facet, designed by

local firm The Adsmith, took home the gold in the

Newsletters and Calendar of Events category for the

second year in a row. The second gold was given to “The

Kress Project,” the publication resulting from the

museum’s juried online exhibition celebrating the 50th

anniversary of the museum’s Kress Study Collection of

Renaissance and Baroque paintings. “The Kress Project”

was designed by MacFadden & Thorpe, of San Francisco.

The museum’s biggest fundraiser, Elegant Salute, received

a silver in the Campaigns category for its invitation

materials, designed by Michael Lachowski, who also

handles public relations for the museum. “Art Interrupted:

Advancing American Art and the Politics of Cultural

Diplomacy,” designed by Grant Collaborative of Canton,

Ga., received an honorable mention in the Books and

Catalogues category. Also receiving an honorable mention

was the brochure for the exhibition “De Wain Valentine:

Human Scale,” designed by Jenny Smith of Atlanta, Ga., in

the Brochures and Rack Cards Category.
