Executive Director’s Message
First, I want to wish you all the happiest of holidays and warmest
best wishes for good health and well being in the New Year.
Many of you have witnessed over the past two years the completion
of Phase I of the M useum’s Master Plan, and these past few
months were filled with a great deal of activity and positive
energy as we opened the new collections and exhibitions wing,
cut the ribbon on the new Titelman Gallery, enhanced Museum
security and switched over to our new air c onditioning system.
We also received a great response to the fall e xhibitions of Pop
Art, the work of American icon Norman Rockwell and Adam Straus’s mysterious landscapes.
The new Athena Society Acquisition, Jaume Plensa’s Yorkshire Soul III (2010), was installed in
the expanded Beckwith Sculpture Park, and we opened our new café with a brand new menu
in late October with Chef Adrienne Drew at the helm. It has received rave reviews, and as we
expand service to include Tuesday night film-supper clubs and encourage rentals for private
cocktail parties and expand lunch-time tours, I’m confident that the café w ill become even
more of a destination.
The Concert Series in the park has begun (four more are scheduled for January 17, February 7,
March 14, and April 11, 2013), Film Studies is well underway and the Museum Art School had a
very successful fall term. More than 1,300 visitors enjoyed hands-on holiday related projects in the
studios and a visit with Santa at the Museum’s annual Holidays at the Museum in early December.
Looking ahead to the w inter season, we are most pleased t o present the major e xhibition: The
Golden Age of European Painting from the Speed Art Museum, featuring works from 1600 to 1800
and representing the era’s most notable painters including Rembrandt, Rubens, Tiepolo and van
Dyck, among many others. In addition, drawn from the collection of Kent State University,
Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen will highlight costumes from some of the famous
actress’s most distincti ve films and pla ys. On the lig ht side, Recycled Dreams: Pablo Cano’s
Marionettes presents this Miami artist’s articulated sculptures made from found objects, discarded
materials and a great sense of humor. A performance of Cano’s marionettes will take place in April.
Some of you may have noticed the change in the Museum’s logo with the addition of the “tag”
line Enriching Lives Through the Arts. A number of focus groups over the course of the summer
reviewed a number of tag lines that would make constituents more aware of what we do and this
one was the choice of the vast majority. I was pleased with the selection, as the act of enriching the
lives of the people we serve is at the hear t of the Museum’s mission. I believe this is evident in
the extraordinary exhibitions, lectures, seminars and music and film programs that we offer, in
addition to the family ar t festivals, youth public programs and ongoing m useum school art
classes. Our collection also continues to grow and recent acquisitions include a series by
American Impressionist Reynolds Beal of circus images, which are discussed by Curator Jay
Williams within these pages.
Our exhibitions, collections and programs are organized to enrich, to engage, to educate and to
empower, and as we move forward with the fulfillment of our Strategic Plan to insure that the
facility meets the programmatic mission of the Museum we will begin preparations for Phase II
of the Master Plan. Where Phase I addressed crucial issues related to infrastructure with the
changeover to a new air conditioning system to insure proper temperature and humidity control,
and securing our collection and art work on loan for exhibitions with a new covered loading dock
and storage at a safe 16 feet above sea level, Phase II, about which you will be hearing more in the
coming year, will expand our education offer ings with a new Childr en’s Interactive Gallery and
secure our future with efforts to build our endowment.
From a somewhat sleepy center for the arts, the Museum has grown into a first class art
museum. We thank you for your ongoing commitment, as it is your memberships, sponsorships
and participation in events that help us t o provide significant art experiences otherwise not
available in our community. Please come, discover, enjoy and be enriched by all your Museum
has to offer. Join us and let’s envision our future together.
Again, warmest best wishes for a Happy New Year.

HOLMES GALLERY
The Golden Age of European Painting reflects the ideas and e vents of an
exciting two-hundred-year period between 1600-1800, when tremendous
changes in science, literature, and politics sw ept through Europe.
Religious upheavals changed the way people thought about art, as
Protestantism spread and the R oman Catholic Ch urch defended its
theology in mag nificent
works of art. These exciting
and dynamic times r esulted
in a truly golden age of
European painting.
Adélaïde Labille-Guiard, Portrait of Madame
Adélaïde, about 1787, oil on canvas,
107 3/4 x 73 3/4 inches,
Collection of the Speed Art Museum.
More than se venty works of
art from the collection of the
Speed Art Museum are
included in The Golden Age
exhibition. The museum has
never toured the paintings
in this exhibition as a group
because they represent the
core of its per manent collection.
One of the finest
collections of European
paintings in this country, its
strengths are in old masters,
particularly the Dut ch,
Flemish, Italian, French, and
English schools, with notable
examples by Rembrandt van
Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Jacob
van Ruisdael, Anthony van Dyck, Thomas Gainsborough, and many
others. Because the Speed has taken on a major expansion of its
building, it can shar e its European old-master paintings with a broader
national audience. Comprised of portraits, religious paintings,
landscapes, scenes of
everyday life, still lifes,
and interpretations of
classical antiquity—
this exhibition makes
history come alive
through the g randeur
of the old mast ers.

LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS
OF ADAM STRAUS
Supporting Sponsor: Mrs. Georgia E. Welles
Patron Sponsor: Estate of Glee and Robert Ries Endowment
Additional Support: The Schumann Exhibition Endowment Fund
Continues through January 6, 2013
SCHUMANN GALLERY
Adam Straus has created environmentally themed landscape painting s
for more than tw enty-five years. Combining poetic sensiti vity with
surrealist irony, Straus evokes a wide range of emotions in his w ork.
His moody and spir itual landscape painting s have a m ysterious
quality that allows room for interpretation. A Florida native, Straus
moved to New York City from Tallahassee in 1990, and then in 2003,
to the town of Riverhead on Long Island. He sees himself as working in
the tradition of 19th century landscape painters who found inspiration
in the beauty of nature, although he often includes incongruous or
visually intriguing elements that sho w the subtle c onflicts between
contemporary culture and the natural world.
NORMAN ROCKWELL:

RECYCLED DREAMS:
Pablo Cano’s Marionettes
Supporting Sponsor: Patricia M. Patten Endowment

February 16 – May 26, 2013
SCHUMANN GALLERY
Pablo Cano’s creative work centers on mar ionettes
constructed from found objects, which he uses in
imaginative performance pieces of his own composition.
Originally a paint er, Cano was delig hted to find a
place for his sculptural work in the world of theatre
and puppetry. Once he found this creative niche, he
decided that his major works of art should be threedimensional.
He now creates wonderfully expressive
marionettes and whimsical theatre pieces employing
a variety of art media in his w ork, including oil and
watercolor painting, drawing, and ceramic sculpture,
his main creative media are the found objects and
everyday discards that he collects.
Born in Havana in 1961, Pablo Cano was carried out of
Cuba as an infant on the last flig ht before the Cuban
Missile Crisis to reside in the Little H avana area of
Miami. Cano went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts
degree from Queens College of the City University of
New York. Cano’s work is often commissioned and can
also be found in the c ollections of many museums.

Come celebrate the fashions and c ostumes
worn by one of the twentieth century’s most
influential actresses, known for her t rademark
khakis and open-c ollar shirts.
Hepburn once said: “Anytime I hear a man
say he prefers a woman in a skirt, I say, ‘Try
one. Try a skir t.’ ” Ironically, this elegant
exhibition includes as man y gowns and
dresses as it does women’s trousers.
“The fact that she w ore slacks and want ed
to be c omfortable influenced women’s
ready-to-wear in the U nited States,” said
Jean Druesedow, director of the Kent State
University Museum, from whose collection
the exhibition was drawn. The strongwilled
actress, known for taking c harge of
her career, worked closely w ith her
designers to decide on her perfor ming
wardrobe. Hepburn never sacrificed style
for comfort, but knew how to be glamorous
when a role called for it. This exhibition
clearly demonstrates her plac e as an
important twentieth-century trendsetter.

New Acquisitions
DELROWE DONATION OF CIRCUS
PAINTINGS BY REYNOLDS BEAL
Among a larger number of works of art donated to the Museum by Dr. Daniel
Delrowe of Stuart are six delightful paintings by Reynolds Beal, a significant
twentieth-century artist who is oft en classified as an impr essionist. Beal was
inspired by the daily life and natur al beauty of the places where he traveled to
sketch and paint, and was especially fond of the rural areas of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts. The six new painting s are part of his long-r unning series of
circus images, documenting the small regional shows that traveled throughout
New England, such as Sells Floto and Gorman Brothers— circuses that no
longer exist. The Delr owe gift includes The Circus Big Show (1928), The Big
Circus Show (1935), Main Entrance (1936), Gorman Bros. Gloucester (1936),
Seals, (before 1940) and Sells Floto (before 1940). As these paintings suggest,
Beal never tired of the circus, returning to these fascinating examples of rural
Americana again and again during the period between the world wars.
Beal began his formal art education in 1890 under William Merritt Chase at the
famous Shinnecock Summer School of Art. Although somewhat similar to his
teacher’s style, Beal’s technique is more vivid in coloration and his brushwork
thinner than Chase ’s. As his st yle matured, Beal’s love of color drove him
toward Post-Impressionism. Another painting by Beal, Road to Lanesville, New
York, 1919 can also be found in the Museum’s collection. Works of art by Beal
are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Phillips
Collection, the Denver Art Museum, the Wadsworth Atheneum, Yale University
Art Gallery, among others.

Focus on Community Engagement: ArtLab
The Vero Beach Museum
of Art’s ArtLab is a new,
free Wednesday afterschool
program for ages
14-18 to create, design,
prototype, and implement
innovative studio projects for children of all
ages in a fun, safe and suppor tive environment.
ArtLab teens enjoy learning about ar t, artists, and
how museums work “behind the sc enes;” work
together and share as a t eam with good ideas and

talents; and apply their int erests and skills to serve the community by
creating memorable hands-on experiences for our visitors in public
programs throughout the year.
Many teens need a safe, structured, and educational aft er-school
environment, especially those environments that are different from
school, and that allo w for indi viduality, voice, and c hoice. When
these opportunities are intended to help particular students but also
serve the larger community, the engagement is meaning ful and allows
children to grow their capacities for r esponsibility,
collaboration, understanding and leadership. ArtLab
is the perfect fit for the creative, engaged, civic-minded
teen to prosper.
One teen participant wrote, “I believe that the ArtLab
is a great way to educate the youth of our area about
art and its history. Art shows that every person is
unique and no tw o people see a painting the same
way. Art also allows for students to share their
thoughts and ideas without the fear of being wrong. I
also believe the ArtLab is one way to spread ‘good words’ about our
local museum among the youth.”
ArtLab’s first semester of activity kicked off in September 2012 w ith a
response that exceeded expectations. Interested teens are welcome to join
the group, which resumes on January 23 following the holiday break and
runs through May 22. Students will have the opportunity to engage in
planning and implementing acti vities for a full sc hedule of youth
public programs and other museum projects. Contact Shanti Sanchez
at shanti@verobeachmuseum.org for more information or to apply.

Donor Profile
ANITA STAFFORD
Born and raised in Manhattan,
Anita Stafford attended Garland
Junior College in Bost on, MA
where she received an A.S. degree
in early c hildhood education and
then returned to Manhattan for a
job as a nursery school teacher.
After Anita got married she left her
job and sta yed home t o raise her 3 c hildren. “While my children were
growing up we took advantage of the many museums and theatres in
Manhattan with family visits and, as adults, each of my children have
found careers in the ar ts.” Anita’s eldest daug hter, Linda is a
singer/actress, her daughter, Sandy is an ar tist and teaches art history
at Moses Brown Preparatory School in Rhode I sland, and her son,
Charles is a writer.
Once Anita’s children had grown, she decided to continue her education
and enrolled at Sarah Lawrence College where she took courses in art,
music, writing and philosophy and earned a B.A. degree. “It was while
I was at Sarah Lawrence that I realized how important the arts are to
complete one’s education. They enhance our lives through all our
senses and improve our understanding of humanity.”
After Anita graduated from Sarah Lawrence she accepted a 3-year
Action Grant to work at the Bedford State Prison for women and the
Taconic Correctional Facility for men who were serving their last year
at this minimum security facility. Under the auspices of the Volunteer
Coordinator she helped organize family days and dances at Bedford
10
and also served on the Work Release Committee at Taconic, whose
mission was to decide when an inmat e was ready to be released and
find him a job at an agency near his home.
Anita returned to Sarah Lawrence College in 1988 when she was
asked to join the Board of Trustees. While on the Board she initiated
the first Board of Directors Challenge Grant which became a powerful
development strategy for the College. She also recommended that a
nationally renowned actor or actress should ser ve on the Boar d
because Sarah Lawrence is a pr emier school in the h umanities and
performing arts. Her suggestion resulted in JoAnne Woodward (wife
of Paul Newman) becoming a Trustee and since then it has been a
tradition to have a celebrity on the Boar d. More recently Anita has
served as President of the Boar d for the I ndian River Symphonic
Association where she created a br and new Board and Committee
structure which was necessary for the Association to fulfill its
artistic mission of bringing quality symphonic music to the Indian
River area.
Anita first visited the Vero Beach Museum of Art in 1999 after hearing
that the M useum offered a Film Studies program. She had al ways
enjoyed watching good films and learning about different places and
was impressed with the line-up of independent and for eign films.
“When I was in a position to make a significant donation to the
Museum, it was suggest ed that I sponsor Film Studies, which I
thought was a terrific idea.” Since 2008 Anita has been the Film Studies
Presenting Sponsor and continues to attend the films regularly. She
sees great value in the program: “The Film Studies program provides
us with the opportunity to participate in the lives of people from
around the world whose hopes and dreams are not very different from
our own.”
