NEW EXHIBITION

Education is and has been the core of the Art Center’s mission from its inception, and our studio program is integral to this mission. Every year, thousands of adults and children enroll in classes. In 2013 nearly 4,000 people of all ages and income levels enrolled in courses and workshops, and 311 students attended Art Center classes through scholarships. Although the Art Center currently offers courses in numerous areas, including drawing, painting, watercolor, sculpture, printmaking, mixed media, photography, artistry/craft, metals/3-dimensional, ceramics, art appreciation, and more, in the last several years, the need for expanding our traditional studio class offerings to include technology-based projects has intensified. In direct response to all three goals in our 2014–2016 Strategic Plan, the Helen and James Hubbell Family Fund and the Ellen and Jim Hubbell Charitable Fund have provided $100,000 to purchase new technology, to create a dedicated technology classroom, and to update electrical work to accommodate the new demands of the studios. This will also allow the Art Center to expand the number of students we are able to serve and diversify the class offerings available. Richards Studio 3 will be transformed from a preschool classroom into a new technology center which will accommodate 12 students per class. New furniture such as tables and chairs will complete the space and accommodate both youth and adult students. In addition, Brennan Studio 1, Studio 2, and Principal Studios 5 and 6 will be rewired to accommodate smart studios, enabling each class to utilize technology in their current activities. Technology-based classes will include Adobe Creative Suite, photography, graphic design, and video and film production and editing. We believe that by adding these offerings to the curriculum, we can serve many new audiences and create numerous opportunities to increase partnerships in the community. We also believe these classes will keep us current with trends in education and contemporary art practices. The Art Center and the entire Des Moines community are grateful to the Hubbell family for their support of this important initiative. JEFF FLEMING

Halston and Warhol: Silver and Suede examines the dynamic friendship between legendary American fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick (b. 1932, Des Moines), and artist Andy Warhol (b. 1928, Pittsburgh) through art, fashion, photography, video, and personal memorabilia. Born within four years of each other, they had similar beginnings to their careers, both starting out as window dressers for department stores before relocating to New York City where they each found early success in their chosen fields. Halston became the defining American fashion designer of the 1970s through his effortlessly chic Ultrasuede shirtdresses and other sophisticated minimalist designs; while Warhol challenged the canon of high art by embracing popular culture and celebrity worship. Silver and Suede chronicles the decades-long friendship between the two men, the similarities and intersections in their lives and careers, and the influences they had on each other. The exhibition will begin with Halston’s hat designs for Bergdorf Goodman, including

Jackie Kennedy’s pillbox hat (1961), alongside works by Warhol of Jackie during the same time. A selection of Halston garments, loaned by major institutional and private collections, will illustrate the connections between Halston and Warhol, who famously socialized with each other while also exerting an influence on each other’s creative practice. Halston and Warhol: Silver and Suede is co-curated by Lesley Frowick (Halston’s niece), in collaboration with Nicholas Chambers of The Andy Warhol Museum. The Des Moines presentation is organized by Senior Curator Gilbert Vicario. HALSTON AND WARHOL: SILVER AND SUEDE. This exhibition has been organized by The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

Support for the Des Moines Art Center’s presentation of HALSTON AND WARHOL: SILVER AND SUEDE provided by the National Endowment for the Arts, Wells Fargo, and Cynthia O’Brien and Mike Fitzpatrick.

NEW EXHIBITION

Shortly after the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Russian neo-Primitivist artist Natalia Goncharova (1881–1962) created a series of 14 black-and-white crayon lithographs titled “War: Mystical Images of War.” Her prints are rooted in the imagery of Russian icons, history, Apocalypse imagery, folk art, and contemporary warfare. Two years later, Russian avant-garde artist Olga Rozanova (1886–1918) and her partner, poet Alexei Kruchenykh (1885–1922), created the book, “War,” and “Universal War,” an extraordinary editioned portfolio of poetry and cut paper and fabric Suprematist abstract collages. The work evokes rather than depicts interplanetary war. Kruchenykh’s 12 zaum poems (composed of meaningless syllables) accompany a series of 12, with titles such as The Battle of the Futurist and the Ocean and Wrestling With the Equator. This exhibition

contrasts these avant-garde Russian artists’ visions of war. Collector Louise Noun, whose interest in avant-garde women artists of the 20th century is explored in the exhibition’s publication, gave both sets to the Des Moines Art Center. Amy N. Worthen, curator of prints and drawings, organized the exhibition.

PERMANENT COLLECTIONS


EL ANATSUI Funds from the Coffin Fine Arts Trust; the Edmundson Art Foundation, Inc.; the Ellen Pray Maytag Madsen Sculpture Acquisition Fund; Harriet S. Macomber, Melva Bucksbaum, and Kathy and Herb Eckhouse, recently purchased the major wall hanging Basin, 2012, by El Anatsui. This Nigerian-based artist is well-known for his large hangings and curtains made from discarded and manipulated metal bottle caps. The potency of Anatsui’s art derives from its beauty, size, and laborious handiwork, as well as its relationship to African textile and visual traditions, and past and current social histories. This wall piece, in particular, has an austere bearing or character. A large, earth-colored gash aggressively splits the surface, while warm colors dominate the field and contrast with bits of bright blue metal. Anatsui seems to have constructed Basin as a singular whole, rather than through a selection and quilting process, which is his typical working method. The bottle caps incorporated here also show his full range of manipulations. Anatsui’s art is found in numerous museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. A major exhibition of Anatsui’s work at the Art Center closed in February of this year.

RECENT ACCESSIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS

ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG Mary Bucksbaum Scanlan and Melva Bucksbaum recently gave the Art Center two major works by Robert Rauschenberg: Hotel (Anagram) and Land-Lock (Anagram), both vegetable dye transfers on fabric laminated paper from 1995. These two works typify Rauschenberg’s amalgamations of fragmented images creating loose narratives and ambiguous space. The artist’s process involves digitally printing selected photographs, then transferring the images to prepared paper with dye by rubbing the backs of the photographs with a squeegee. The resulting image appears fluid and painterly and totally unique. These two artworks mark the 26th and 27th works by Rauschenberg to enter the collections.

ISABEL BISHOPNoted for her commanding draughtsmanship and for the poetic atmosphere that infuses her works, painter and etcher Isabel Bishop (American, 1902–1988) lived and worked in New York. In her paintings and prints, figures immersed in reverie seem to move through the city, as if oblivious to others. Recently, Melva Bucksbaum and Ray Learsey gave the Art Center three etchings by Bishop: In the Bus, 1947; Friends, 1942; and Entrance to Union Square, 1981. These works join an oil painting, an ink and wash drawing, and five etchings by the artist in the permanent collections.

JAPANESE PRINTSThanks to the continued generosity of Kay Ward, 40 19th- and 20th-century Japanese color woodblock prints have entered the permanent collections, expanding and strengthening the Art Center’s holdings of Japanese art. Images include classic landscapes of Japan, scenes from kabuki and bunraku theater, the life of courtesans, and daily life. Woodblock designers include Chikanou, Hiroshige, Keinen, Koitsu, Kunisada, Shoson, Yoshiiku, and Yoshimune. The Art Center’s Richard and Kay Ward Collection includes more than 480 prints that span the history of printmaking.

KERRY JAMES MARSHALL The Des Moines Art Center Print Club recently gave a large lithograph, Memento, 1997, by leading American painter, Kerry James Marshall. Born in Birmingham and active in Chicago, Marshall’s art explores contemporary Black American culture. In this lithograph, a black angel stands in a room and looks out at the viewer. On the wall behind him are framed portraits of Martin Luther King and John Kennedy. Above, a cloud of gold-winged heads of martyrs of black history and the Civil Rights movement flutters. This is the first work by the artist to enter the permanent collections. To date, Print Club has given 65 works on paper to the Art Center.

STUDIO EDUCATION

STUDIO EDUCATION SPOTLIGHT STAN MILLER OUTREACH HIGHLIGHTS

Upon retirement as an ordinance design engineer for the Department of Army in 1990, Stan Miller decided to pursue art and ultimately became a community asset to the Art Center. After retirement, Miller spent eight years studying art at Drake University with Jules Kirschenbaum and Gaylord Torrence. Since completing his studies, the Art Center has had the privilege of working with Miller for the past 15 years as a docent, volunteer, and instructor. In addition to his docent responsibilities, and teaching drawing and painting classes in Studio Education, Miller has helped the Art Center extend its reach into the community by providing lectures on art and specialized drawing classes at several retirement centers in the community. Sharing his passion for the arts, he recently provided a drawing class for the residents of Valley View Village. This class was dedicated to developing drawing skills through the presentation of basic drawing techniques to make it accessible to anyone interested. The class consisted of seven enthusiastic students, many of whom had not drawn since childhood but were encouraged by their families to participate. Miller stated, “Hands

LUTHERAN SERVICES OF IOWA: REFUGEE PROGRAM

“We’re happy!” declared the Burmese refugee group as they finished their Des Moines Art Center tour on May 8. This was the culminating activity of their four-week art class focusing on the art of batik. The medium taps into the refugees’ love of fanciful designs and bright colors. Several of the refugees, some from Burma and some from Bhutan, have participated in an ongoing series of classes offered by the Art Center in which art is demonstrating its power as a universal language. People from both ethnic groups arrived in the United States after many years in refugee camps. Though the language barrier makes it difficult to learn the backgrounds of the students, the instructors can tell that some have formal art training, and they have discovered that several were weavers before they came to the United States. Their designs become a collision of two worlds, often mixing English letters with images from their native lands. The First Unitarian Church will host an exhibit and sale on July 27. Proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase art supplies for participating refugees to continue their practice outside of the class.

SUMMER 2014Registration is still open for all children’s and adult week-long classes. The summer session ends the week of August 11 – 15.

at our age respond very slowly, but well; the students picked up the skills quickly and were eager to continue.” The students were not only excited and engaged during class; they began to take their drawings home to work on, and since the completion of the class have purchased their own drawing supplies to continue drawing in their spare time. Alexis Morrison from Valley View Village noted that she was impressed with the outcome of the students’ work and amazed at the amount of pride the artists displayed.

VIDEO POEMSix students in the Des Moines Public Schools Gifted and Talented program attended a two-day experimental video workshop with 48-Hour Film producer Sam Pace-Toumi, local artist Ramona Muse, and educator Michael Lane. Each student produced and edited a short film that re-imagined an everyday occurrence, such as making coffee, texting, or walking. Throughout their experience they were immersed in creating concepts and storyboards while learning about lighting, styling, and composition. In their free time, many students put in countless hours editing and fine-tuning their film.

LECTURE Iowa’s Own Monuments Man: George StoutNancy Trask, Library Director, Winterset Public Library THURSDAY, AUGUST 28 / 6:30 pm / Levitt Auditorium

Nancy Trask will present historical slides about the Monuments Men, highlighting George Stout (left) who was born and raised in Winterset, Iowa. George Clooney’s character in “The Monuments Men” movie was based on George Stout,

although the character was named Frank Stokes for the sake of artistic license in the movie. Trask’s slides have been collected from extensive research, including correspondence with Stout’s granddaughter; magazine and newspaper articles from a publicist working on the Hollywood movie; historical Winterset resources; internet resources; and historical books.

AFTER SCHOOL ARTS

Inspired by Alex Katz’s painting Ava’s Garden, 2000, students from Meredith Middle School created their own version of the work by learning how to draw and group figures together to create a narrative.
