This is a significant artistic event for Norfolk and the Chrysler. I will be
taking my 9-year-old granddaughter to see the exhibit as she is artistically
inclined. I want her to be able to say that she has really seen a Rembrandt.

ALTERNATIVE CAREERS
When I get together with colleagues to relax, complain, and share stories, sooner or later, the
conversation turns to the question, “What would you do if you did not work in a Museum”
Because we deeply love our work, most of us can’t really imagine doing anything else. But
when people are pressed, interesting answers turn up.
Two choices are mentioned with surprising frequency: “I’d become a clergyman” and “I’d open
an old-fashioned hardware store.” Both choices, one lofty, the other mundane, make great
sense to me.
Museums, like churches and synagogues, are places where people come together to find
fellowship and search for meaning and direction in their lives. Just as priests and rabbis
present and interpret sometimes ambiguous sacred texts, it is the job of museum staff to
help visitors use rich, complex, and multi-layered works of art to find spiritual and emotional
balance and to understand their place in the larger scheme of things. Like a church service,
a museum visit involves a certain amount of ritual, minus the heavy use of incense. We
certainly try through music, lectures, films, and community events, to engage our
“parishioners” on multiple levels. Museums, in other words, are places where people who share the belief that works of
art can be a source of insight, come together in search of inspiration and guidance.
Hardware stores work in much the same way. If you have a problem that needs a solution—a leaky faucet, a bad electrical
outlet, or a screen door that won’t stay closed—then you would need tools and supplies to fix the problem and instructions on
how to use them. A great hardware store should provide both. To a home-repair novice, this task can seem even more
daunting when looking around this store containing a fascinating assortment of strange and mysterious things. Each item was
created with a special purpose in mind. What to do How does one even know where to start, which tool to select, or how to
use it to get the desired result It is the store manager’s job to make sense of it all for the customer. Although the manager
cannot fix the problem directly, he can provide the tools and advice necessary to get the customer started on the right track.
It’s not so different in a museum. People come in search of something—peace and quiet, historical information, spiritual
renewal, a pleasant afternoon with friends. The museum is filled with wonderful works of art that seem mysterious, yet filled
with promise. This is where the Curator, Educator, or Museum Director come in. We are there to offer the tools and a bit of
advice to get the project going.

CAMEOPERFORMANCES:
MASTERPIECES OF CAMEO GLASS
FROM THE CHRYSLER’S COLLECTION
Decorative Arts Gallery
Ongoing
Cameo Performances: Masterpieces from the Chrysler’s Collection focuses on cameo
glass made in England during the late 19 th century. English glassmakers,
inspired by historical glass excavated at ancient Greek and Roman
archaeological sites, created some of the most skillfully carved cameo
glass ever produced. These artists also used the Victorian fashion for natural and
oriental ornament as a basis on which to build their own works of art.
The exhibition, displayed in the newly renovated Decorative Arts Gallery,
features approximately 40 objects from the Chrysler’s collection, highlighting
some of the Museum’s most eye-catching cameo glass acquisitions. This is the
first time the collection has been seen in one space while also incorporating
other decorative arts such as silver, ceramics, and furniture. The Museum’s
second video kiosk appears in this exhibition, giving visitors an intimate
look into the intricate process of making cameo glass.
Although English cameo glass was originally conceived as a revival
of an ancient Roman technique, English glass carvers became
fascinated with Far and Near Eastern symbolism and
naturalism, which identified certain mystical and
symbolic meanings that were locked within the
natural world. Cameo vases in this exhibition
show the influence of Chinese and Japanese
art in decoration and form. Cameo
Performances also includes a wide variety
of objects adorned with floral
designs. Based on their quality and
size, these vases were the least
expensive of the cameo objects
as glassmaking firms began to
rely more heavily on the
process of acid-etching to
achieve the desired effect of
cameo—continuing to meet
consumer demand.

Blank for a Portland Vase Replica, ca. 1876-78
Gift of James Summar Sr. in honor of Rebecca W. Hitt
Cameo glass is made by layering two or more colors of glass
and then removing part of the outer layer or layers to reveal a
design in relief against a background of contrasting color.
The 19 th -century glassmakers first created a glass blank, the
undecorated form of glass before it is engraved or cut,
typically with two layers of glass.
Unlike the ancient Romans, English glassmakers used the
labor-saving device of hydrofluoric acid to remove much of
outer layer of glass. To do this, the areas that were to remain
in relief were painted with a wax resist and then dipped into
an acid bath. Engraving wheels and pointed metal styluses
resembling mechanical pencils were used in the final carving.
During the 18 th and 19 th centuries, archaeological
excavations in the Mediterranean brought
renewed attention to the art of the ancient Greek
and Roman worlds. Like other 19 th -century artists
and architects who chose to imitate Greek and
Roman decorative motifs based on these
archeological finds, English cameo
glassmakers first made objects in direct
imitation of ancient Roman vessels.
They began with replicas of the
greatest known masterpiece of Roman
cameo glass, the Portland Vase.
English cameo glass made its debut
in 1878 at the World’s Fair in Paris.
John Northwood I had three
cameo glasses on display including
his copy of the Portland Vase, the
Milton Vase (seen in the Chrysler’s
exhibition), and the unfinished
Dennis Vase. Not to be outdone,
English glassmaker Hodgetts,
Richardson & Son, hired Alphonse
Lechevrel and Joseph Locke to make
16 cameo glasses for their booth at the Fair.
Locke’s Vase with a Cupid, was also shown at
the 1878 Fair.

Ongoing
Highlighting the skills of master carvers and their sources of
inspiration, cameo glass steals the spotlight in this show
drawn from the Museum’s renowned glass collection.
Exploring the history of cameo glass carving beginning with
ancient Roman examples, this exhibition focuses on the
popular resurgence of the technique in England during the
late 19 th century.
Kaufman Furniture Gallery
Ongoing
This new installation features loans from the collection of
Linda H. Kaufman and the late George M. Kaufman—one of
our nation’s greatest collections of American decorative arts
and Dutch Golden Age paintings. The new display
highlights the stylistic evolution of American furniture from
the mid-18 th to the early 19 th century and helps visitors
understand the individual character of pieces produced in the
early American furniture making centers—Boston, Newport,
New York, Philadelphia, etc.

The Old Order and The New: P. H. Emerson
and Photography, 1885-1895
Now through November 9, 2008
In the 1880s, Peter Henry Emerson began photographing the
Norfolk and Suffolk, England landscapes, producing beautiful
prints, and publishing books and portfolios for which he
became well-known.
The images in this
exhibition represent
the continual shift and
antagonism between
values and ideas. They
convey the rich flavor
of Emerson’s time and
invite comparisons
with contemporary life
and culture.

FRIENDS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN ART:
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Summer’s advent means travel for many Chrysler Members, and
this year, the Friends of African American Art took to the
road—embarking on an exciting tour of works by some of the
most popular African American artists of the last century. FAAA
Members and friends, including guests from Hampton University
and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, headed towards
Washington, D.C. to view art on the campus of Howard
University and to experience the Aaron Douglas: African American
Modernist exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
While visiting Howard University, Gallery Assistant Director
Scott Baker led the group on a tour of the art holdings on the
campus, including the stained glass windows of Rankin

Gallery Host Otha Dunn
A TOAST TO THE HOST!
The Chrysler Museum of Art is proud to congratulate Gallery Host Otha Dunn, who
was recently named “Tour Guide of the Year” by the Norfolk Convention and Visitors
Bureau at the National Tourism Week Pep Rally. This annual event is a celebration for
front-line staff, including tour guides, docents, and concierges. This is a wonderful
opportunity for them to meet, enthusiastically represent their respective organizations, and
to be recognized for the outstanding jobs they perform for the city and its visitors each day.
Dunn, who has been employed with the Chrysler Museum for 33 years as a security guard,
became a gallery host just last fall and remains an important part of the Chrysler Team.
Congratulations, Mr. Dunn!

"Children from the Park View School in Newport News hear about St. Michael
from the Chairman of the Junior League. Docents, Mrs. Thomas Bond, Jr.
Some 12 docents offer three different tours to children from 3rd-6th grades.
During the past year, 7,718 school children were taken on guided tours."

THE DOCENTS
TURN 50!
This fall, the Chrysler Museum welcomes
18 new Docents to its corps of more
than 80 volunteer guides. These volunteers
join the Docents in an auspicious year as
2008 marks the 50th anniversary of the
Docent Program at the Chrysler. The
Museum will formally honor its Docents in
May of 2009 at their annual end-of-year
luncheon, but the celebration starts in
September 2008 when active Docents return
for school tours.
In 1958, when the Chrysler Museum was
the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Sciences,
the Junior League of Norfolk established a
volunteer docent program to lead school
tours at the Museum. The League’s
president at that time was Mrs. Sabine
Andrews, and these volunteers set the
docent program at the National Gallery of Art as their model.
The program began with six volunteers, and by the spring of
1959 they gave their first tours.
These founding volunteers recognized the importance of the
arts and the Museum to the quality of education offered in the
region’s schools. As the demand for school tours grew, so did
the number of volunteers. Consequently, the Junior League
pledged $20,000 in 1966 towards the salary of the Museum’s
first education director, Mr. Richard Carroll. His primary
responsibility was to train the Museum’s docents. During this
time, women from the Service Clubs
of Virginia Beach and Portsmouth also
participated in the Museum’s
education programs, including taking
works of art into schools.
In the 1970s, the collection of
Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. transformed
the Norfolk Museum of Arts and
Sciences, but the role of Docents in
the Museum’s mission remained
essential. Over the last 50 years,
these volunteers have reached
hundreds of thousands of children
and adults, and their combined
volunteer hours easily exceeds one
million! The fact that so many
Preparing meal for event
former Docents
continue to play
important roles in
the life of the
Museum after
years of service,
speaks to their
deep personal
relationships with
Chrysler’s
collection.
The Museum
hopes that
current Docents
and those from
years past will
join together on
May 19, 2009,
to share their
decades of
unforgettable
experiences and
to celebrate this milestone in the Museum’s history.
The Education Department welcomes Members’
recollections of the program’s first decades, including names
of those who should be remembered as founding volunteers.
Please contact Scott Howe, Director of Education and
Public Programs at 757-965-2046 or email
showe@chrysler.org for submissions.
