Editorial by Tom Starland, Editor and PublisherCOMMENTARYRetirement?Well, like most goals in life - the advertisementshaven’t met up to my expectations.By the time I could drink “legally” I foundthat it was expensive to drink legally.Buying a car was a bigger responsibilityand legally binding contract than gettingmarried. I’ve been happily married 34years, but where’s that first car I purchased?Buying a home was a joke - Idon’t own a home, a bank owns my home.I’m just paying them rent to live therefor the rest of my life. And, now that I’vereached what was once thought to be retirementage - why am I still working likemad to get by? Where’s my rocking chair?Well, the truth is I reached the agewhere I can start to get my money backfrom the government. My first check willarrive about the time you’re reading this.And, even then I’ll never see a check as itwill go straight to my bank. It’s not a verybig check after being self employed forso long, but I’m taking it early at age 62.I have been advised by folks who knowmoney better than I do to take it as soon asI can - as you never know.Know what? Well, I don’t know howlong I will live, how long the governmentwill still give me my money back, or howlong it will be before they say I’ll have tolive until I’m 70 to get my money back.I’m not complaining except for the factthat it is still taxable income - imaginethat! I guess it’s a big joke from UncleSam - betting we won’t live long enoughto make it to SS. No one likes taxes -especially folks who are rich, and almosteveryone thinks they could do better fortheir future - better than our Uncle. Butmy Uncle probably did better with thatmoney over the years than I would have.I’m happy to get anything back.So there’s not a rocking chair for me noris there a gold watch - I’ll still be workingaway each month trying to get thispublication out on time. If there is a brightside, I might get to travel more around theCarolinas - as I once did - trying to chipaway at our not so massive profits, so Ihave to pay less taxes on my Social Security“income”. There always seems to be acatch to these goals society created for us.Corn Dog Days of SummerIt may not have been as hot yet as itshould be, but it’s hot enough to reallyslow people down. Some people say it’sjust too hot to go anywhere, but I’d rathergo some place that’s probably cooler thanmy house and a good art museum or artgallery might just be the spot to hang out- it’s cheaper than going to a movie or atrip to the mall.But, I guess it’s too hot for a lot ofmedia folks to work. It seems some peoplejust could bring themselves to send an e-mail about their latest exhibit or to botherfinding an image to send with what pressrelease they did send. That’s where the“Corn Dog” comes in - as in Corn DogDays of Summer.Got Your Plan for the 2014 ArtFields Yet?Believe it or not, now is probably thetime to start getting ready to enter the2014 ArtFields competition. Artists shouldrealize by now that just grabbing a workoff the shelf won’t win you $50,000 incash or even get you in the show. So, it’stime to get creative in a big way.The artists who made the cut in 2013have a leg up on everyone else and thoseartists who didn’t make the cut, but wentcontinued above on next column to the rightto Lake City, SC, and saw the event - theyalso know something you don’t. If youdidn’t do either, but want to take a chanceat winning big bucks - you might want tomake a trip to Lake City to look around.I would also suggest looking at lastyear’s entries on the ArtFields website(www.artfieldssc.org) and reading the rulesof the competition very carefully - it costone artist $25,000 last year by not readingthe rules or hoping no one else did.A lot of artists who entered last yearprobably won’t in 2014 based on what thejudges selected to be in the competitionand what was selected as the winners, buttheir place will be taken by other artistswho didn’t hear about ArtFields until afterit was over or couldn’t figure out whereLake City was. And, I imagine there willbe a bigger push to get artists from outsidethe Carolinas and Charleston to enter in2014 so I expect that competition will beeven stiffer in 2014. But creative mindswill always have a shot by coming upwith something different and somethingunusual.A top prize of $50,000 isn’t a lifechanging event for most people, but it surebeats entering a bunch of smaller competitionsor traveling from one gallery to thenext hoping for a space on a wall - somewhere- anywhere.Lightning Strikes Again!It seems that this is going to be a goodyear for Jim Arendt of Conway, SC, thefirst top prize ($50,000) winner of the2013 ArtFields competition. It’s just beenannounced that he has also been namedthe winner of the FY2014 Artist Fellowshipfor Visual Arts. This will put $5,000more in his pocket - if our Governor isn’tsuccessful in cutting the budget of the SCArts Commission this year with her annual“Tea-Bagging” veto.I’m in no way saying that Arendtdoesn’t deserve a Fellowship - 100’s ofartists in SC like him do, but it seems tome like the Arts Commission is doing alittle band-wagon jumping.Arendt would have had to file for thisaward long before ArtFields took place,but I’ve seen the Arts Commission hitchthemselves to rising stars before, somedidn’t even stay in the state long enoughbefore the next Fellowship was to beawarded.Arendt is a talented artist, and he isworthy of such an award - I’m just sayingit seems the Arts Commission has atemplate in which their Fellowship winnershave to fit. They haven’t done a lotof thinking out of that box in all the yearsthey have been awarding this honor - somuch so that some people were given itseveral times.And then there are the artists whodidn’t get given the award until after theywere dead in fear of what they would sayif they ever got it while they were alive.I just don’t like these “official” stampof approval awards. They do more tomake many artists feel like a failure by notgetting one then they do making a few feelspecial. Think about how many artists putyears of creativity into South Carolina tosee these Fellowships go to a select groupof clones - who look the same on paper.I’m happy when deserving artists receivethe recognition, but I don’t think it’sa good program - as it rewards so few.26 Years and CountingThis July 2013 issue marks 26 years ofLinda and I producing an arts publicationand things have changed. I now have aphone that fits in my pocket that is morepowerful than our first computer. Peoplenow read our paper on the Internet anddownload it to their personal phones andtablets.Over these 26 years we’ve seen a lotcome and go - artists, galleries, and even afew art museums. Change seems to be theword in the arts - hardly nothing stays thesame. I wish it did - it would make it a loteasier to do what we do, but then again, itwould probably be boring.Every once in a while I have to gothrough some old issues looking for somedetail from history to make a point andcontinued on Page 11RhettThurmanTHE SYLVAN GALLERY171 King St. • Charleston • SC • 29401Morning Has Broken Oil on canvas 12 x 12 inchesFor additional information843•722•2172www.thesylvangallery.comPage 4 - Carolina Arts, July 2013Table of Contents

Khan’spainterly eye romanticizes the astronomicalobjects depicted, creating images ofhazy, beautiful, distant escapes which fillthe viewer with wonder and curiosity.Work by Alizey KhanKhan is a recent graduate of theCollege of Charleston, and 23 years old- three weeks younger than the HubbleSpace Telescope itself. Born and raised inthe UK until the age of 12, she relocatedto Karachi, Pakistan, for 3 years, andmoved to the USA at the age of 15.Khan has exhibited her work aroundWork by Alizey Khanthe Charleston area, and now works outof her studio at Redux Contemporary ArtCenter.

Robert Lange Studios in CharlestonFeatures Works by Mia BergeronRobert Lange Studios in Charleston,SC, will present Gradual Thaw, featuringworks by Mia Bergeron, on view fromJuly 5 - 26, 2013. A reception will be heldon July 5, from 5-8pm and the exhibit willbe on view during CFADA’s “Palate andPalette” event on July 19, from 5:30-7:30pm (a ticketed event).Work by Mia BergeronIn her first solo show, Mia Bergeronhas created a series of paintings that willtake viewers on a visual journey of whatdrives, motivates and inspires her creativeprocess.Gradual Thaw Questions with theartist:1. What inspires you?“A lot of things inspire me. I’m drawnto everyday abstractions I see in nature…subtle variances in shades of lights andcolors, big, unusual compositions. Peopleare a huge source of inspiration for me,both strangers and close friends.”2. What are three words that describeboth you and your work?“Introspective, Experimental, Inquisitive.And some would say moody! Ha!”3. When you look around your studio,what do you see?“A lot of paintings I have worked onand destroyed, and worked on again. Iprobably painted double the paintings Ihave in this exhibit, but destroyed half ofthem over the course of time. And books.I’m addicted to art books. I have booksthat range in subjects from John SingerSargent to the Alexander McQueen retrospectiveat the Metropolitan. I have littlepieces of paper in all of these to remindme of ideas for paintings. I also have ahuge amount of printed images in mystudio…paintings of other peoples’ work,photos that inspire me, even scraps oftextiles that remind me about a particularcolor harmony.”in my painting skills. I was also told Iwas a temperamental painter. For years, Ithought these two ‘defects’ would hurt mywork. In the past year, I’ve really dug intomaking my vulnerabilities my strengths. Ithink it’s sort of creative problem solvingand simply being curious. Instead of denyingthat I am a erratic painter and that Ilike big, overall effects in a painting (likemood, for instance), I decided to acceptthose parts of me and even play them upin these paintings. I think the work lookslike it could change at any moment, andthe moods are very purposeful. The otheridea I have been exploring with in mywork is loss of information. The paintingsin this show are the results of a bunch ofquestions I had with paint. I will paint amodel for days and days, then slowly startto erase parts of my painting, wiping outentire passages I have worked hard on,making transitions that don’t exist. I willpurposefully look to lose areas of a paintingthat I want to grow into somethingmore.”6. What do you hope people walk awayfrom the show talking about?“I hope they ask questions. I’m not offeringany real answers in my work, mostlyjust posing questions to the viewer.”Work by Mia Bergeron7. What do you think both visual andconceptually your strengths are as an artist?“Visually, I think I am strong in depictinglight and mood. Conceptually, I think Iam strong at looking at broader topics thatrelate to inner feelings.”8. Can you talk about the title of yourshow, “Gradual Thaw”?“I picked this name because it representsboth what happens in springtime,just before plant life blooms, but also asit relates to a mental state. I had all theserules for being a person, a painter, etc. Ithink I’m in a transitional stage of my life,as many people are, and some of thoseprevious rules and ideas about myself, mywork, and my world are melting away tomake room for new growth. A lot of thetitles of paintings in this show refer to thisevolution.”9.

What was the impelling force for thecurrent subject matter and show?“I think I’m in a natural evolution withmy work. Mostly, I have been focusedon two ideas for this show. One is to reallydive into my fears as a painter, andmy strengths. When I was in school inItaly, I was constantly told I was better atgetting an effect than achieving details.This was said to me as a weakness I hadPage 6 - Carolina Arts, July 2013“Most of the women I paint are artists.There’s this sense of understanding I findwith them about poses and intentions. It’sa bit of an unsaid symbiosis. I’m also ahuge advocate of women artist visibility,so I think it is a natural choice for me tobe drawn to creative females to paint.”10.

Some Exhibits That Are Still On ViewOur policy at Carolina Arts is to presenta press release about an exhibit onlyonce and then go on, but many major exhibitsare on view for months. This is oureffort to remind you of some of them.Work by Fred JohnstonThe NC Pottery Center in Seagrove,NC, is presenting BIG RED: ChromeRed and Other Red Glazes of the NorthCarolina Piedmont, an exhibit co-curatedby Fred Johnston and Tommy and CindyEdwards, on view through July 27, 2013.From the earliest days of North Carolina’straditional art pottery production, potterssought to achieve a vibrant red glaze.The most successful red glazes fashionedin the 1930s are today referred to bythe name, “chrome red.” Their reddishorangecolor was created by the additionof chromium oxide to the potters’ usuallead glaze, a coating that was used by areapotters for centuries before on utilitarianwares. The red glaze was a hit withcustomers, and essentially every art potteryshop, including J. B. Cole’s Pottery,Auman Pottery, Royal Crown Pottery andPorcelain Co., Smithfield Art Pottery, andothers, added it to their repertoire.

With a major in finance, he spent 30years at J. P. Morgan & Co. focusing onglobal credit exposure, so he was able tolive and travel all over the world. There areno continents and very few countries he hasnot seen.

He alsocontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contentshad a neighbor who created backdrops fortheaters. Stimulated by these and other examples,he developed a great zest for artisticcreation. As a child, he would paint on bedsheets, on cardboard, anything flat.

Using her sense of color and visualtexture, Behling created a way of combiningher textile sensibilities and love ofprinting and painting into a unique artisticstyle.Behling continued to explore thisunique artistic vision by earning a MFA atWestern Carolina University. “I love color,texture, and nature. My creative researchcurrently explores the use of organic,abstract images that are taken from natureand recreated in two-dimensional, mixedmedia work. I love to take photographsout in nature; I collect these images dozensof times in one piece so they becomeunrecognizable, abstract designs. I focuson small areas of nature and image themas their own micro-environments. I createmy own interpretation of these environmentsby working with visual textureand repeated pattern in a painterly way,primarily on paper and stretched canvas,however, my work includes a wide rangeof mediums, from wearable scarves tomixed-media collage pieces.”Nancy Blevins is a Haywood Countynative who learned silk dye painting fromBelgian artist, Judith Hue, 35 years ago.This technique is used for clothing, wallhangings, and framed art. She is a longtime member of the Blue Ridge WatermediaSociety; her mediums includesilk dye painting, watercolor, and mixedmedia. Her watercolor education includesworkshops with Pat Weaver, Sue Archer,Harry Thompson, Fred Graff, and SonyaTerpening.Blevins has exhibited at the BiltmoreEstate, Studio D, Leapin’ Frog Gallery,Work by Dawn BehlingWest Queen Studio, and in local streetfairs. While striving for expressive color,Blevins demonstrates that the techniquesused in silk painting and watercolor areinterchangeable and complement each artpiece.Although, the term “mixed media”has only been around since the early 20thCentury, this form of art has been usedsince the 1400s with the application ofgold leaf to paintings and other various artforms.

These vessels both document ourlives and provide beauty and pleasure.”Rick’s glass creations are full of surprises.His “grounded in the ordinary”sculptures are abstractions in the formaland philosophical sense, yet inherently approachable.“My work in glass is a synthecontinuedabove on next column to the rightTable of Contentssis of human and mechanical form, with anemphasis on formal aspects.

Descendants of lowcountryslaves, these longtime residents of the islandinfluenced Whyte’s life and art in astonishingand unexpected ways.Whyte soon began a series of watercolorsdepicting these women, honoring their livesand their dedication to family and faith. Asher friendships with these women grew,their matriarch Alfreda LaBoard claimedWhyte as her “vanilla sister.” Alfreda’sWorld, a collection of Whyte’s detailed watercolorsand poignant recollections of thewomen at the senior center, was published adecade later, drawing attention and supportfrom the community to the small church onBohicket Road.For further info check our NC CommercialGallery listings, call 828/437-1957 orvisit (www.meshgallery.com).If You’re Looking for SummerReading, Try Some of These BooksDown Bohicket Road continues thestory of Whyte’s relationship with theseextraordinary women, following the passingof Alfreda, against the backdrop of theongoing commercial development of JohnsIsland. For Whyte, the heart of this communityremains in the simple homes clusteredalong Bohicket Road, in the island’s windingtidal creeks, and in a small church whereeighteen hardscrabble women gather infellowship each week. In her book Whyteillustrates that both watercolors and friendshipscan be the unpredictable results of anabundance of blessings.

Some Books for Summer Readingcontinued from Page 19With its fanlike evergreen fronds, softtrunk, and strong root system, the palmettois a wind-adapted palm that can bend withstrong sea breezes without breaking orbeing uprooted. Emblematic of survivalagainst opposition, the palmetto tree hascaptured the imaginations of South Caroliniansfor generations, appearing on the stateseal since the American Revolution and onthe state flag since 1861.The palmetto was named South Carolina’sofficial state tree by Governor BurnetR. Maybank in 1939, and in 1974 GovernorJohn C. West commissioned acclaimedSouth Carolina artist Jim Harrison to paintthe official palmetto tree portrait for theState of South Carolina, an image thatadorns the State House to this day. ThePalmetto and Its South Carolina Homeshowcases the timeless, natural beauty ofthe state tree in marshland and coastal landscapesin the popular Harrison style.Appearing on glassware, stationery,jewelry, and many other decorative andfunctional objects, the palmetto tree is anomnipresent symbol in South Carolinaculture. For Harrison, the palmetto remainsforemost an icon of the wondrous Carolinacoastal habitats. Sweeping images of thecoast have been part of Harrison’s art sincethe beginning of his career, and he continuesto illustrate his love of the South Carolinacoast by capturing the beauty of the statetree amid the many stunning and enchantingscenes included here.The Palmetto and Its South CarolinaHome also explores the historical backgroundof the tree and its many ties to SouthCarolina’s heritage as a symbol of strengthand beauty worthy of this artistic celebration.“The South Carolina coast is quite a specialplace. My artwork represents my southernheritage with a wide range of imagesfrom coastal to rural Americana scenes.Recently I have refocused on capturing thetimeless beauty of our state’s coastal areasand South Carolina’s tree in particular. Thepalmetto tree is an image that is very mucha part of our state’s past, present, and future,and it represents not only the beauty but alsothe strength of our state and it’s people,”said Harrison.Harrison describes himself as a moodrealist artist. Through his work he seeks toevoke in the viewer the same deep appreciationhe holds for America’s scenicheritage. Harrison has devoted much of hislife and art to the preservation of the past.He studied art at the University of SouthCarolina and launched his professional careerin 1971 on the sidewalks of New York’sGreenwich Village.Harrison’s first book, Pathways to aSouthern Coast, was published by the Universityof South Carolina Press in 1986 andwas brought back into print in 2009.

Thesame ideals that imbued the canvases of theHudson River School also colored the artof painters who found their inspiration andaudience below the Mason-Dixon Line.In this study of thirty-two artists representedin the Johnson Collection, noted arthistorian Estill Curtis Pennington delineatesthe historical, social, and cultural forces thatprofoundly influenced their aesthetic sensibilities.Author of the award-winning booksLessons in Likeness and Kentucky: TheMaster Painters, Pennington examines thecore concepts of the romantic movement asit unfolded in the American South: the heroicindividual, an idealized chivalric codeof personal honor, the sublime quality ofnature, and the inevitability of change in animperfect world. Many of the artists underconsideration in this lavishly illustrated volumecreated works of art that have achievediconic status in the annals of painting in theSouth, including William Dickinson Washington,William Thompson Russell Smith,Gustave Henry Mosler, Thomas AddisonRichards, Joseph Rusling Meeker, RobertWalter Weir, and Thomas Sully.Spanning the years 1810–1896, RomanticSpirits includes insightful illustratedbiographies of the featured artists, as wellas extensive bibliographic resources. Thisinaugural publication underscores the JohnsonCollection’s commitment to advanceinterest in the dynamic role that the art ofthe South plays in the larger context ofAmerican art and to contribute to the canonof art historical literature.Estill Curtis Pennington has served incuratorial capacities for the Archives ofAmerican Art, National Portrait Gallery,New Orleans Museum of Art, and MorrisMuseum of Art. Pennington’s Kentucky:The Master Painters from the Frontier Erato the Great Depression was a nominee forthe Smithsonian’s Charles C. Eldredge Prizefor Distinguished Scholarship in AmericanArt and a winner of the 2009 PublicationAward of Merit from the Kentucky HistoricalSociety. His most recent book, Lessonsin Likeness: Portrait Painters in Kentuckyand the Ohio River Valley, 1802–1920, hasalso been honored by the Kentucky HistoricalSociety.All of these books were published byUSC Press in Columbia, SC.Fire & Steel: The Sculpture of GraceCathey will be published by Dahlia Bookson July 1, 2013.Fire & Steel is a collaboration betweenCathey and the distinguished historian SaraEvans (author, Carolina native and seasonalresident).Fire & Steel introduces Grace Cathey,tells the story of how she came to metalart after years as a professional weaverand painter and how her work has grownand changed. It also describes some of thetechniques, especially finishes and use ofcolor, that draw on Cathey’s experience as aweaver, watercolorist and print artist.Printed in full color with over 100photographs throughout the book, Fire &Steel is primarily an art book that introducesreaders to the full range of Cathey’s work,from major pieces of public art installedon the main streets of Waynesville, NC,Hendersonville, NC and the North CarolinaArboretum in Asheville, NC, to a variety ofcustom pieces for homes and gardens - evenwearable pendants.There are very few women sculptors whowork with fabricated metal: cutting steel,welding, hammering, grinding, and shapingto create beautiful pieces both large andsmall. Cathey’s career developed in westernNorth Carolina and her subject matter drawsheavily on the fauna and flora of the SouthernAppalachians. Rand-McNally’s Best ofthe Road lists her gallery on Depot Street inWaynesville as a landmark.Professor William Hood at the New YorkUniversity Institute of Fine Arts says ofher work, “Grace Cathey shares a gift rareamong artists. Her exacting craftsmanshipcoaxes metal into works of art that are alivewith the likeness of graceful, vibrant, playfulcreatures. They delight the eye and lightup the heart.”Lawrence J. Wheeler, director of theNorth Carolina Museum of Art, in Raleigh,NC, declares that Grace Cathey’s sculpturesare “beautifully conceived, and brilliantlyexecuted. Her integration of the naturalworld into her large formats is lyrical andlovely, not easy to achieve in such an unyieldingmaterial.”Trained first as a fiber artist, Cathey spent15 years as a weaver, but once she triedMIG welding in a welding class, she neverlooked back. She started making gardenstakes and then worked her way up to floraand fauna: animals such as frogs, roosters;twisting vines and flowers in bloom.Her functional garden pieces such as gatesand trellises often feature an unexpectedextra – like a butterfly on a bloom or a lizardslinking up the side.Cathey’s work is part of the permanentcollection at the North Carolina Arboretumand Chimney Rock State Park and has beenexhibited at the United States BotanicalGarden in Washington, DC, and the NorthCarolina Museum of Natural Sciencesin Raleigh. Her large-scale public art hasbeen included in both Hendersonville andWaynesville’s Art on Main series. You canalso see her work at her gallery, housed inhistoric Walker Service, an auto service centerher husband’s grandfather opened in theFrog Level area of Waynesville in 1928.For info about purchasing any of thebooks from USC Press, call 800/768-2500or visit (www.uscpress.com).For info about Fire & Steel, visit (http://gracecathey.com/book.html).

Greenville County Museum of Artin Greenville, SC, Offers Landscapesfrom Museum of Fine Arts, BostonFrom the majestic grandeur of NiagaraFalls to the sweeping vistas of Yosemite,the exhibition Masterpieces of AmericanLandscape from the Museum of Fine Arts,Boston offers viewers more than 60 workson loan from one of America’s mostprestigious art museums, and all will beon exhibit in Greenville this summer. Previouslyon view in Japan, the exhibition atthe Greenville County Museum of Art, isthe show’s only Southern venue. Masterpiecesof American Landscape from theMuseum of Fine Arts, Boston will remainon view through Sept. 15, 2013.Albert Bierstadt, “Valley of the Yosemite,” 1864Breathtaking 19th-century masterpiecesby Hudson River Valley School paintersThomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church,and Albert Bierstadt evoke the splendorof America’s vast wilderness while laterworks by Childe Hassam, Marsden Hartley,and Stuart Davis depict the Americanlandscape through more modern eyes. Theexhibition also includes a selection of 20spectacular black-and-white landscapephotographs by Ansel Adams and EdwardWeston.The first American landscapes weremade by European explorers seeking todocument their findings. Early maps oftenfeature small drawings of trees or detailsof mountain scenes. Landscapes alsoserved as backdrops for colonial portraits,but it wasn’t until after the AmericanRevolution founded a new country thatlandscape came into its own. The earliestAmerican landscape painters, includingJoshua Shaw and Thomas Doughty,were well versed in European landscapes.When these artists arrived in America,they traveled throughout New Englandprimarily, making sketches of scenic vistasand landmarks. Using these preliminarydrawings as guidelines, the artistsdeveloped finished paintings that depictedthe scenery in idealized and romanticways, often rearranging topographical elementsto suit their compositions.Thomas Cole (1801 – 1848), “River in theCatskills,” 1843Artists working in the early 19thcentury viewed America’s unspoiledwilderness as a paradise, a land filled withhope and promise. In 1825 the EnglishbornThomas Cole arrived in New YorkCity and set out on a sketching trip up theHudson River. Upon his return he beganpainting the American landscape filteredthrough the influences of 17th-centuryworks by Claude Lorrain and SalvatorRosa.Today, these dramatic and majesticpaintings capture and inspire the imagination.Nevertheless, Americans at thetime were reluctant to embrace landscapepainting as a legitimate art form. Colebecame the unofficial leader of a group ofartists later named Hudson River Schoolpainters. Although Cole died in 1848, hisPage 26 - Carolina Arts, July 2013Ansel Adams (1902 – 1984), “Mount Williamsonfrom Manzanar, Sierra Nevada, California,”1944colleagues, including Albert Bierstadt,Frederic Edwin Church, and Asher B. Durand,continued to paint from the Atlanticcoastline to the southern swamps andforests to the Great Plains, the Rockies,and beyond.As the country expanded during the19th-century, many painters traveledwestward to paint frontier life. Some,including Albert Bierstadt and WorthingtonWhittredge, joined expeditions thatwere formed to explore and map newterritories. New technologies and scientificdiscoveries also offered painters newterritory to explore. New theories aboutevolution influenced the work of MartinJohnson Heade and Frederic Church, forexample, while other painters like FitzHenry Lane began to employ the latestinventions, such as the camera lucida, amechanical drawing instrument.Toward the end of the 19th century,American painters began to focus less onspecific locations in their work, insteadturning their attention to new paintingstyles and techniques. Influenced byFrench Barbizon works he had seen in Europe,George Inness began to emphasizemood by working with light and color.Similarly, painters Frank Benson, ChildeHassam, and Willard Metcalf studied theworks of the French Impressionists. Bycombining the vibrant color and loosebrushstrokes of the French with traditionaltraining in figure drawing, these artistsand others devised a distinct style ofAmerican Impressionism that captivatedpainters well into the 20th century.Soon, however, American paintersbegan to experiment with other styles, includingModernism. Emphasizing pattern,color, and line, such artists as GeorgiaO’Keeffe, Arthur Dove, Stuart Davis, andMarsden Hartley created subjective, and attimes romanticized, responses to landscapesubjects.The advent of photography furtherchallenged and inspired artists to captureand express the essence of the Americanlandscape. Drawn from the Lane Collectionof the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,twenty images by photographers AnselAdams and Edward Weston complete theexhibition. Iconic images of the southwestinclude those of the Grand Canyon,Yosemite, and the Sierra Nevadas.The Museum is offering a few relatedevents including:On Saturday, July 20 – Certus Saturday.Enjoy a variety of fun activities forthe whole family, including storytellingand outdoor landscape painting.

Four artists from the Hampton IIIGallery stable (Paul Yanko, Enid Williams,Carl Blair, and Edward Rice) arefeatured, along with six guest artists’ works(Mary Gilkerson, Patti Brady, Phil Garrett,Linda McCune, David Yaghjian, and KatieWalker) These artists are working in the midand upper regions of South Carolina.Phil Garrett at King Snake PressKing Snake Press was founded in 1998by Greenville artist, Phil Garrett. Thename was derived from Garrett’s interestin Blues Music and Southern Folklore. Thestudio grew out of his love for the painterlyprocess of creating monotypes which he hasexplored since the mid-80’s. With a BFA inprintmaking from the San Francisco Art Instituteand having worked with several masterprinters, Garrett wanted to encourageother artists to participate in this process.Throughout the 15 years of service, over40 artists have come through King SnakePress, creating their own unique visions.Sharon Campbell, an appraiser of fineart in the upstate, states: “Creating originalprints at King Snake Press is a collaborativeproject between artists who would nototherwise be able to print on this scale, andPhil Garrett, an artist, master printmakerand owner of the press. Monotypes areoften characterized by elements of chance,spontaneity, and surprise that are unique toGALLERY HOURSMonday - Saturday10am to 6pmSunday1pm to 5pmartistsguildgalleryofgreenville.com200 N.

The process hasbeen described as ‘transferred painting,’creating a unique impression from a printedplate.”Though making monotypes sounds directand simple, expertise and the experience ofa master printer are required to achieve thekind of finished prints seen in this exhibit.Although the spontaneous quality of theprocess is attractive to artists, the techniquesprovided by a master printer can lead towonderfully complex and subtle results aswell.King Snake Press has had a tremendousimpact on the forty or so artists who haveworked there over the years. The chanceto collaborate with a master printer allowspeople of many disciplines to becomecomfortable with a very different approachto printmaking. The artist brings the ideas,and the printer offers technical advice andhandles all the studio management, freeingthe artist to focus on the artmaking.One of the defining moments for KingSnake Press was the 2002 exhibition SeeHow We Are at the Greenville County Museumof Art. Twenty-five artists were chosento work with Garrett; a number of themhad not previously made monotypes - andcontinued on Page 27

It may fixed in a persistentstruggle to define and achieve freedom andexpression or it might exist in a comfortablezone where one is simply sure of their ownfeeling. The American narrative has overthe centuries reflected a striving towardpersonal or communal success and individualfreedoms within social, economic andpolitical fabrics of shared rights. The movementtowards these ideals has sometimebeen unsteady, sometime heroic, sometimecontroversial… but the concept continues toinspire.”Work by Frank McGrathThe wide range of artists who submittedwere all inspired to reflect their own senseof patriotism through their artwork.

Michael Johnson was born and raisedin East Tennessee and has lived in the southeastUnited States all his life. He begantaking images and working in his darkroomPage 28 - Carolina Arts, July 2013over thirty years ago and has traveledextensively across the United States and theworld to capture images. His love of photographingthe motorcycle lifestyle and othersubjects, and his self-taught methods alongwith formal courses and in-field seminarswith nationally known photographers, havetruly defined the subjects he has photographedand written about over the years.These experiences have provided acollection of work that documents bikersand biker ladies riding on Daytona’s MainStreet along with the serious side of theseriders as they remember the Vietnam era,showing them riding from the Pentagon tothe Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington,DC, on Memorial Day to remembera fallen comrade, a brother, a sister or afather whose name is now engraved foreverin the black granite of the Vietnam VeteransMemorial. Johnson captures the images thegeneral public never hears about or sees.His color and black and white photographscapture the Spirit of America and its preciousFreedom of Speech.When asked about his work, Johnsonsaid, “The Nam Era: Never Forgotten, isa veterans photo tribute that I started in1997 at ‘The Wall’ (The Vietnam VeteransMemorial) in Washington, DC. It shows usthat “Freedom Is Not Free” as another partof my photojournalist journey into the motorcyclelifestyle that is so often shied awayfrom by so many civilians and journalists.”Work by J. Michael JohnsonJohnson continued, “The early Sundaymorning walks into the depth and quietnessof ‘The Wall’ lets me digitally capture veteransvisiting names on ‘The Wall’ that representthe real ‘Human Cost of Freedom’. Thenames of young boys and girls growing uptoo fast, fighting a war on foreign soil and inso many cases giving their lives fighting forAmerican freedom in a land that some sayGod forgot - Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.These digital images show friends and familymembers touching loved ones’ names andmaking a rubbing of the name so they canremember, honor and keep their loved onesmemory alive. It also serves to remind usthat we still have POW-MIA’s in Vietnam.”Johnson concluded, “There are still partsof this exhibit that live only in my head as Isometimes must make the decision as whento let an award winning image go becausea Vietnam vet’s personal privacy was muchmore important than a photograph.”Since 1997, Johnson’s photographic andwritten work about Daytona’s Bike Week,as well as many other motorcycle ralliesand events, has been repeatedly featuredin Easyriders, Biker and In The Windmagazines. He has provided commercialphotography services to various companiesin the motorcycle industry, including LehmanTrikes of Canada publishing Johnson’swork in their Pride Matters magazine.Johnson’s renowned motorcycle lifestylephotography has resulted in his givingslide shows to numerous motorcycle clubs,churches and civic groups. His most requestedimages are of the Vietnam veteransvisiting the “Moving Wall” and the “VietnamVeterans Memorial” in Washington,DC, during “Rolling Thunder” events.Johnson is a co-founder of the SpartanburgPhoto Guild, a member of the AmericanImage Press/Today’s PhotographerMagazine, and served two terms on theBoard of Trustees, of The Spartanburg ArtMuseum, Spartanburg, SC.Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, MelodyMeredith Davis considers herself fortunateto have studied art at Carnegie-MellonUniversity receiving a bachelor’s degreein painting and drawing in 1982.

Woodvillewas born of a prominent Baltimore familyand trained in Düsseldorf, Germany. Heconducted much of his professional careerin Germany, France, and Great Britain. Thisis the first monographic Woodville exhibitionsince 1967. It premiered at The WaltersArt Museum, which organized the exhibition,earlier this year.The exhibition includes 15 of Woodville’s16 known paintings, several of whichhave never been on view, as well as prints,illustrated books, and other related works ofart to place his career in historical context.Woodville left behind no written archives;however, his work was highly acclaimedand widely disseminated through premiumprints sent to thousands of subscribers tothe American Art-Union, a national artmembership organization. His beautifullypainted, highly detailed canvases examiningpopular subjects played an important role inthe extraordinary increase in visual imageryavailable to a broad American audience duringhis lifetime.“This is the first special exhibitionof paintings at Mint Museum Randolphsince 2010,” said Jonathan Stuhlman, themuseum’s Curator of American Art. “It isan honor to be able to share these iconicpaintings with our visitors and for the MintPage 32 - Carolina Arts, July 2013to have been chosen as the only venue inthe country for this engaging show after theorganizing institution.”The scenes Woodville depicts are subtleyet revealing of human foibles, renderedon a small scale but addressing the largerevents unfolding outside the scenes ofdaily life, including the politics of manifestdestiny, the power shift from the Revolutionaryto the Jacksonian generation,and the issues of slavery, war, and classdifference. Although prevalent at this time,Woodville avoids the stereotyping andcaricature of African American figureswho are often observers to the centralnarratives. The installation also features aunique interactive “parlor” area, in whichvisitors can participate in activities popularduring Woodville’s era, including makingshadow puppets, playing with puzzle cubesand other handheld games, and looking atstereoscopic views.The exhibition was organized by TheWalters Art Museum, Baltimore, with generousgrant support from the US Institute ofMuseum and Library Services.A 144-page publication, comprising fiveessays, a catalogue of the paintings, andan illustrated checklist of works on paperas well as engravings and lithographs afterpaintings by Woodville, accompanies theexhibition. Published by the Walters ArtMuseum and distributed by Yale UniversityPress, the soft-cover book retails for $24.95.As the oldest art museum in North Carolina,with one of the largest collections inthe Southeast, The Mint Museum offers itsvisitors inspiring and transformative experiencesthrough art from around the worldvia innovative collections, groundbreakingexhibitions, and riveting educational programs.The Mint Museum is a non-profit,visual arts institution comprised of twocontinued above on next column to the rightTable of Contentsdynamic facilities: Mint Museum Uptownand Mint Museum Randolph.Located in what was the original branchof the United States Mint, Mint MuseumRandolph opened in 1936 in Charlotte’sEastover neighborhood as the state’s first artmuseum.

She says, “I especiallylike working with primary colors. If I hadto pigeonhole my style, I suppose it couldbe described as representational. A commontheme for Halladay is children at play, bothpurposeful and full of abandon.Watercolors by Carole Hickey arefresh and transparent due to the wet-in-wettechnique she often uses. She starts loosewith large brushes and a limited palette,then fine-tuning with smaller brushes andglazes, finally capturing the essence of hersubjects, which range from florals and shellsto landscapes and seascapes. Accordingto the artist, “The flowing medium of watercoloris perfect for capturing the movement,patterns and fluidity of the ocean. It’smy favorite medium and crashing wavesand sandy beaches are two of my favoritethings.”NC native Suzanne Ellet has found herartistic niche in the unique beauty of theCarolina coast.

For others, theirchildhood home may evoke feelings offamiliarity coupled with strangeness,exemplifying Sigmund Freud’s concept ofthe “uncanny.” Through works by AndrewWyeth and H.C. Westermann, In Pursuitof Strangeness explores diverse responsesin American art to the uncanny home, aswell as domestic architecture’s role indefining the boundaries between ourselvesand the outside world.Dating from the early twentiethcentury to the present, the works on viewexemplify the complexities of our relationshipto home and place through unsettlingperspectives and unusual materials,subverting the understanding of home asfamiliar (heimlich) and transforming itinto something foreign (unheimlich). Theexhibition also investigates the differencebetween a house and a home, as well ashow homes become extensions of theirinhabitants. In addition to Wyeth and Westermann,other artists in the show includeRalph Gibson, Marilyn Anne Levine,Bruce Nauman, Aaron Siskind, and MinorWhite, among others.This exhibition was curated by ErinCorrales-Diaz, Huntley Intern, AcklandArt Museum.In Pursuit of Strangeness is the culminationof this year’s Joan and RobertHuntley Art History Scholarship for agraduate student at UNC-Chapel Hill,which supports collaboration between theAckland Art Museum and the North CarolinaMuseum of Art.

This exhibitiongathers a select grouping of Ilchi’s paintings fromthe past three years, highlighting her increasinglysculptural application of paint, and herincreasingly painterly rendering of politics.

Gallery15, Through Aug. 11 - "Picasso: Master Prints".This small, but luxurious exhibition is a rare opportunityfor South Carolinians to marvel at thegraphic work of one of the 20th century’s greatestartists up close. As an artist, Picasso is hardlyin need of introduction. He was arguably themost influential painter, sculptor and printmakerof the 20th century. Included in Picasso: MasterPrints is a portfolio of 10 color pochoirs made inthe early 1920s and selections from Picasso’sbest-known etchings, The Vollard Suite. “Pochoir”is French for silkscreen. This type of print, rarelymade today, was once very popular. The processis time-consuming and demanding: for eachcolor, a stencil is made and color is hand appliedwith a soft brush. This gives the effect of the printlooking more like an actual painting. The printsin the exhibition mimic a series of gouache paintingsthat Picasso made in 1919-1920 in France.This show is presented through the generosity ofMs. Ann Marie Stieritz and Mr. John B. Carran.Interactive Education Gallery, Through Aug.11 - "Geometric Visions".
