SUMMARY:Opening Day of About Face: Portraits from the Collection
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day of About Face: Portraits from the Collection\nSunday\, October 11 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. \n \nEnjoy a first look at the Museum’s new exhibition\, About Face: Portraits from the Collection. A portrait is typically defined as a representation of a specific individual\, such as the artist might meet in life. A portrait does not merely record someone’s features\, however\, but says something about who he or she is\, offering a vivid sense of a real persons’ presence. \nThe traditions of portraiture in the West extend back to antiquity and particularly to ancient Greece and Rome\, where lifelike depictions of distinguished men and women appeared in sculpture and on coins. In the Middle Ages\, generic representations were the norm\, after which distinctive portrait likenesses began to reappear in Renaissance Europe. This change reflected a new growth of interest in everyday life and individual identity that continued into the mid-twentieth century. In subsequent decades\, portraiture was considered to be old-fashioned\, but the genre has once again assumed a central role in contemporary art. Today’s artists are increasingly turning to portraiture as a major vehicle for expression\, often to address issues of identity\, gender\, race and class. \nAudiences have always been fascinated with the art of portraiture\, whether it’s Leonardo’s Mona Lisa or Andy Warhol’s iconic image of Marilyn Monroe. About Face: Portraits from the Collection presents a wide variety of portraits from the Museum’s own holdings\, spanning over two hundred years in time and encompassing a range of subjects that include nobles and commoners; men and women; and adults and children. Stylistically varied as well\, the exhibition features classical portraits\, abstractions\, and folk art renderings. Look for selections from the Sellars Collection of Art by American Women; an array of antebellum Alabama family portraits; and intriguing contemporary works by regional artists Gaela Erwin\,  Aron Belka and Pinky Bass\, among the highlights.

SUMMARY:Opening Day of Jonathan Becker: Social Work - Four Decades of Movers\, Shakers & Thinkers
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day of Jonathan Becker: Social Work – Four Decades of Movers\, Shakers & Thinkers\nOctober 30 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\n \nAmerican photographer Jonathan Becker began contributing to Vanity Fair magazine on the heels of an especially successful solo exhibition in Chelsea in 1981. His portraits of filmmaker Louis Malle and of his mentor and friend Brassaï featured largely in the pages of prototype for the magazine’s relaunch in 1983. Becker’s specialty in portraits\, photographed by and large on location\, soon became a Vanity Fair staple: Robert Mapplethorpe\, Jack Kevorkian\, Jocelyn Wildenstein\, and Martha Graham\, as well as countless socialites \, artists\, and heads of state. \nAssignments for the magazine have dispatched Becker far and wide – from the Amazonian jungle\, for first-encounter photographs of members of the Yanomami tribe\, to Buckingham Palace\, for the first photographs showing the Prince of Wales and Camilla Parker Bowles together. Becker’s association with Vanity Fair continues to this day. Becker has also contributed portraits and reportage to Town & Country\, The New Yorker\, Vogue\, W\, The Paris Review\, and many other publications. \nThis exhibition features 45 images of movers\, shakers and thinkers taken by Becker between 1976 and 2015\, hand selected by the Museum\, including artists\, authors\, fashion designers\, socialites\, Hollywood celebrities\, and more. Organized by HMA.

SUMMARY:Opening Day of Gloria Vanderbilt: An Artful Life
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day of Gloria Vanderbilt: An Artful Life\nOctober 30 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nGloria Vanderbilt\, Gerta\, 1964\, oil on canvas\, 41 in. x 41 in. Private Collection \nA mesmerizing photograph of Gloria Vanderbilt by Francesco Scavullo graced the cover of the November 2010 issue of Town & Country magazine with the caption\, “There will never be another Gloria Vanderbilt.” This statement speaks volumes about a woman who was in the public eye throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Many of us are aware of Gloria’s unsettling early childhood\, during which she was caught in the middle of a custody battle between her young\, absent mother\, Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt\, and her powerful aunt\, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. We know her from writings concerning her marriages\, romances\, and the tragic loss of her son\, Carter\, to suicide. And\, of course\, we know her from her fashion breakthrough in creating her signature designer jeans in 1978. \nBut who was Gloria Vanderbilt\, the designer\, and artist? Behind the effervescent ear to ear smile and poised images that were published in many social columns\, she was a complex\, vulnerable\, passionate\, emotional\, and extremely creative force. Gloria would spend hours each day in her studio\, choreographing her precious time between her easel and her writing desk. Her studio\, which was on the ground level in her apartment building on Beekman Place in New York City\, was her sanctuary where she would paint\, assemble her sculptures\, and pen her memoirs\, novels\, and short stories. Stopping briefly for lunch to enjoy a peanut butter sandwich\, she would return to her creations till 3:30 p.m. She felt the most comfortable in her studio\, relaxed and free to be herself. \nCocooned in this space\, at her easel and surrounded by tables laden with tubes of paint lined up in a row by shades of colors\, boxes of sharpened pastels\, containers filled with brushes\, and stacks of unfinished canvases lined up along the wall\, her imagination would take hold. Gloria concentrated very seriously and intensively on her art for over 75 years. When asked about the inspiration for her work\, Gloria stated\, “Often images are channeled in dreams\, which find expression in my paintings. They have a narrative quality\, which are shuffled around in the kaleidoscope of my imagination and find themselves in colors and patterns that sustain me. My memory is also a driving influence in my work. Memories I absorb and reinvent to changing effect because I have changed but do not want to let them go.” She further remarked\, “Color too intoxicates and inspires me\, as does the beauty of a person who has something I can’t quite catch. They become muses which I become obsessed to define\, to reveal something of their inner mystery\,” she added. \nIn 2012\, Gloria and Wendy Goodman\, author of The World of Gloria Vanderbilt\, accepted an invitation from a longtime friend\, Christopher Madkour\, Executive Director of the Huntsville Museum of Art\, to be the guest speakers at the Museums annual GALA Luncheon and Voices of Our Times event. During their visit to Huntsville\, Gloria and Wendy were presented with a Key to the City by Mayor Tommy Battle\, who extended an open invitation to return any time. Gloria’s stay in Huntsville was so memorable that she went on to host a fundraiser in New York for the Museum. The preview party for the World of Gloria Vanderbilt\, an exhibition of her paintings and sculptures at 1stdibs\, opened on September 12\, 2012\, to rave reviews. At that time\, Michael Bruno\, Founder of 1stdibs\, stated: “Regional museum like the Huntsville Museum of Art are making such a big impact on the art scene today. Gloria is a category unto herself. Her signature use of color astounds me in every work.” Gloria’s dear friend Nydia Caro reflected on her work\, “Gloria’s paintings were like Gloria’s world. Holographic\, layers\, and layers of dreams about her extraordinary life.”Patsy Haws\, Board member and guest at the party at 1stdibs\, reflects\, “Many of us were privileged with her generosity that weekend as so many doors were opened to us. \nIt was a“Cinderella” time\, but the real Cinderella was Gloria. She found her prince in her own spirit and art\, in her family and friends and never hesitated to share. Perhaps giving of herself was her greatest achievement.” Longtime friend\, Michael Lindsay-Hogg\, remarked\, “Gloria’s work has gone in many different directions\, has sustained\, and continues to surprise. Her palette has always been bright with varieties of pick\, red\, lavender\, yellow. In her work there is nothing of sentimentality\, even when the subjects are tender: a contented couple with two children in the background or a mother with a child or a woman in a hat. They\, and hundreds more\, have a power to them\, with a sense not of melancholy but of what the passage of time means\, of how the present will one day be a memory. The perfect example is her painting of a mother and child in her bold painting\, Memories.” Gloria’s creative legacy will stand the test of time\, and her support and contribution of the Huntsville Museum of Art will forever be remembered. \nThe Huntsville Museum of Art is honored to present this exclusive boutique exhibition which not only features memorable photographs of Vanderbilt by Horst\, Jonathan Becker\, Adrián Villeta\, Annie Leibovitz\, and Jack Mitchell\, but also a selection of Vanderbilt’s own artworks\, as well as memorabilia documenting Vanderbilt’s recent association with the Huntsville Museum of Art. Organized by HMA.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: The World of Frida
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day: The World of Frida\nSunday\, December 13 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\n \nExplore the Museum’s newest exhibition\, The World of Frida. The World of Frida celebrates the culture\, style\, and persona of visionary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)\, an artist who continues to inspire with her story of love\, adventure\, and pain. Celebrated globally today as an iconic\, renegade artist and outspoken feminist\, Kahlo’s life began perilously. Stricken with polio as a child\, and injured as a teenager in a bus accident that left her permanently disabled\, Kahlo was subjected to enormous pain and turmoil early in her life. While recovering from her accident\, Kahlo returned to her childhood hobby — painting. Soothed by the solace of art making\, it was during this period that she decided to become an artist. \nWhile Kahlo’s life was short-lived — she died at 47— her story continues to inspire artists of the 21st century. The 95 international artists featured in The World of Frida have reinterpreted many aspects of Kahlo’s life in an array of media — from honoring her self-portraits\, to depicting her love affair with Diego Rivera\, to recognizing her emotional\, physical\, professional and societal struggles. The exhibition is an incredible tribute to an artist who continues to influence millions by the simple fact that she was always true to herself\, no matter the cost. Organized by the Bedford Gallery\, Walnut Creek\, CA.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY - Encounters: Althea Murphy-Price
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nEncounters: Althea Murphy-Price\nSunday\, January 17 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nThe accomplished works of this mid-career printmaker and sculptor from Knoxville\, TN explore the links between individuality and assimilation\, and their influence on culture and personal identity. Murphy-Price often manipulates manufactured synthetic and human hair\, emphasizing its role as embellishment\, as well as its ability to signify racial identity. She explains\, “I am fascinated by the inexplicable link between the subject of hair and its influence on our social culture and personal identity. Much of my inspiration has derived from hair’s significant relevance to Black American culture and community.” Murphy-Price uses both hair and hair accessories to create prints and sculptural installations\, including signature Hair Rugs which are created by dusting synthetic hair over a lace overlays to create striking carpet-like patterns. \nMurphy-Price received her Master of Arts in printmaking and painting from Purdue University and earned her Master of Fine Arts at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. She is currently Associate Professor of Printmaking at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Organized by HMA.

DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nLooking at the Collection: The Elegant Vessel\nSunday\, January 31 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Looking at the Collection: The Elegant Vessel. Assuming the form of a cup\, bowl\, pitcher\, or vase used for holding liquids or other contents\, the vessel as a utilitarian object dates back millennia.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Impressionist Landscapes from the Sellars Collection
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nImpressionist Landscapes from the Sellars Collection\nSunday\, January 31 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Impressionist Landscapes from the Sellars Collection. With the acquisition of the Sellars Collection of Art by American Women in 2008\, an important holding of paintings\, drawings and sculptures was added to the Museum’s permanent collection. The Collection celebrates the achievements of American women artists active between 1850 and 1940\, and provides a counterpoint to the Museum’s holdings of regionally and nationally significant contemporary art. \nImpressionist Landscapes From the Sellars Collection focuses on the strong pull that the natural world had on American women artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exhibition emphasizes the generation of artists who emerged during and in the aftermath of the American Impressionist movement (1880-1920). Many of these artists were the students and sketching partners of the seminal figures in the development of Impressionism in America\, such as William Merritt Chase\, Willard L. Metcalf\, John Henry Twachtman and Robert Henri.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Will Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\n Will Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist\nSunday\, February 7 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Will Henry Stevens: Naturalist/Modernist. This exhibition presents the work of American artist Will Henry Stevens (1881-1949)\, a lifelong naturalist and important modernist painter known for his two distinct artistic styles: Representational Naturalism and Southern Modernism. Stevens clearly separated his two bodies of work\, exhibiting his rural Southern landscapes and his non-objective abstractions at different galleries. Though seemingly disconnected\, his individual styles are part of a larger whole. Each style was born from the soul of an artist strongly influenced by his reverence for the Southern landscape. \nAlthough born and raised in Indiana\, Stevens spent much of his adult life teaching in Louisiana and summering in western North Carolina. Those environs — particularly the rivers and bayous of New Orleans and the Southern Appalachian Mountains — inspired him to capture the changing landscapes in his colorful and lyrical works. Stevens absorbed diverse influences throughout his career\, including the writings of transcendentalist philosophers Whitman\, Thoreau\, and Emerson\, Chinese Sung Dynasty paintings\, and the art and writings of Wassily Kandinsky. Over his lifetime Stevens constantly experimented with styles and media\, but his work never lost its inextricable link to nature. Organized by HMA.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Gala 2021 Featured Artist: Millie Gosch
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nGala 2021 Featured Artist: Millie Gosch\nSaturday\, April 10 | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Gala 2021 Featured Artist: Millie Gosch. Millie Gosch is a highly accomplished and collectible artist. Her original oil paintings hang in the corporate offices of Synovus Bank\, Bank of America\, St Francis Hospital\, WellStar Health Systems\, and Price Waterhouse Coopers\, among others. Her work also hangs in many private collections. Millie is a prestigious Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society. \nAs a Plein Air painter at heart she gets inspiration leaving the four walls of her studio to work in a natural setting. Millie prefers painting from life outdoors\, and when not possible a still-life set up in the studio provides the inspiration. \nWhile some artists work from a photograph or memory\, plein air artists work from direct observation to paint in nature\, capturing their subject matter in real time. For Millie\, this way of working is both her passion and her calling. The studies she paints from life are then used as references to paint a much larger format in the studio. Her goal is to invite viewers into her painting to have their own experience. Her work is known for its vibrant use of color and texture. The beauty and quality of Millie’s work reflects her lifelong appreciation of nature and the outdoors. Growing up in a small Georgia town\, Millie developed a deep love for nature in general and particularly the South. As an artist\, her favorite subjects are Low Country and pastoral scenes. \nThroughout her life-long artistic journey Millie has drawn inspiration from not only her surroundings but also from artists whose work she admires.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY - Jack Mitchell: Artists
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day:\nJack Mitchell: Artists\nSunday\, May 16 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nExplore the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Jack Mitchell: Artists. This exhibition features approximately 50 silver gelatin and color photographs of important American visual\, musical\, and literary artists taken by Jack Mitchell over a career spanning five decades. Mitchell died in 2013 at age 88. Exhibition highlights include director-screenwriter Alfred Hitchcock\, singer-songwriter Carly Simon\, playwright Tennessee Williams\, composer Philip Glass\, singer Bette Midler\, and artists Andy Warhol\, Salvador Dali\, Louise Nevelson and Keith Haring\, among others. The works were hand-selected by the Museum from the Jack Mitchell Archives. Organized by HMA. \nAmerican photographer Jack Mitchell (1925-2013) was renowned for his captivating photographs of visual artists\, film and theater personalities\, musicians\, and writers\, which he documented during a remarkable career that spanned over five decades. In addition to 25 years of special assignment work for The New York Times\, Mitchell’s photographs of creative and performing artists have graced the covers and pages of Harper’s Bazaar\, Life\, Newsweek\, People\, Rolling Stone\, Time\, Vanity Fair\, and Vogue\, among others. \nMitchell was both a portraitist and a capturer of complex motion. An expert in lighting\, he worked mostly\, though not entirely\, in black and white\, and was known — by his subjects\, by the magazine and newspaper editors he worked for\, and by critics — as someone who could make a photograph reveal character.

DESCRIPTION:Opening Day:\nEncounters: Greely Myatt\nSunday\, June 6 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nExplore the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Encounters: Greely Myatt. Greely Myatt is widely recognized for his whimsical sculptural objects and monumental installations made from found materials like flooring\, neon lights\, metal scraps\, and discarded signage scavenged from the greater Memphis area. Engaging with surrealism\, pop\, folk\, and outsider art\, he has developed a compelling visual language of reimagined but recognizable forms\, often reinterpreting literal motifs like comic strips and speech bubbles in his works. In addition to found materials\, Myatt also incorporates elements like plants\, quilts\, and rugs into his pieces to reference his Mississippi childhood\, setting them against abstract elements such as light\, air\, and negative space to spark a visual and mental dialogue.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Recent Acquisitions
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nRecent Acquisitions\nSunday\, July 18 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nThe Huntsville Museum of Art is pleased to present the latest version of this recurring exhibition\, showcasing artworks recently added to its permanent collection within the last year. Some were purchased for the collection\, while others were gifts from generous donors. Some works will be familiar to those who came to view some of our past exhibitions\, and others are by artists who are household names. All were carefully reviewed by the Museum’s Collections and Acquisitions Committee to fit the criteria established for the collection\, and are compatible with the Museum’s collecting objectives and goals. \nRecent acquisitions exhibitions are by nature a wonderful hodgepodge. Works of different styles and media are displayed together\, sometimes with no unifying characteristic other than the fact that they came into the collection within a given period of time. But these shows serve an important purpose – they demonstrate the scope of the Museum’s collecting interests and provide us the opportunity to acknowledge generous donors whose gifts help our collection grow.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: From the Mind's Eye
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nFrom the Mind’s Eye: Nonrepresentational Art from the Collection\nSunday\, August 22 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nBroadly speaking\, a work of art falls into one of three categories – representational art\, abstraction\, and nonrepresentational art. Representational art is characterized by the attempt to replicate an object or scene from the real world as accurately as possible. Abstraction runs the gamut from recognizable but altered subjects to depictions that have almost no relationship to their original source. Nonrepresentational art can be seen as the antithesis of representational artwork in that it has absolutely no reference to the real world. \nOur minds are geared to make sense of the world through the library of images that we carry with us. But some things just can’t be conveyed in a visual manner using the narrative vocabulary of images. Artists in the modern era began to explore new concepts of artmaking using color\, shape\, line\, texture and space to express things which cannot be seen\, including feelings\, emotions or experiences. \nFrom the Mind’s Eye features approximately 30 thoughtful yet intuitive artworks selected from the Museum’s extensive permanent collection. The works date from the latter half of the 20th century to the present\, and convey a sensation or experience without the use of recognizable imagery. Some of these works express the simple desire to create for the sake of creation — and the beauty that results from that act—through mark making\, patterning or even mathematical design. As you explore the galleries\, try to open yourself up to what each artist may be attempting to communicate— from pressure and dread to joy and the infinite. There is no right or wrong interpretation! \nThe exhibition features 22 artists\, including Richard Anuszkiewicz\, Chryssa\, John Chamberlain\, Richard Diebenkorn\, Sol Le Witt\, Rocio Rodriguez and Richard Zoellner\, among others. A number of works on display have not been on public view in over 25 years. From the Mind’s Eye: Nonrepresentational Art from the Collection will continue in the Adtran\, Jurenko and Thurber galleries from August 22 – October 31\, 2021.

SUMMARY:OPENING DAY: Under Pressure: Painting with Air
DESCRIPTION:Opening Day\nUnder Pressure: Painting with Air\nA Survey of Contemporary Airbrush Realism\nSunday\, October 24 | 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\nView the Museum’s newest exhibition\, Under Pressure: A Survey of Contemporary Airbrush Realism. \nThe airbrush — a hand-held instrument that uses compressed air to spray paint in a controlled manner — was invented in the late 19th century. But it was not until the mid-20th century that it became a popular tool for artists and illustrators to create a high level of realism in their works. Pioneers of airbrushing include Surrealist Man Ray and graphic illustrator Alberto Vargas. Later\, Pop artist James Rosenquist used it to evoke the qualities of advertising in his work. As the century progressed\, airbrushing fell out of fashion. But following the 2008 release of Norman Hathaway’s book\, Overspray: Riding High with the Kings of Airbrush Art\, this deceptively arduous technique rose to fashion once again. \nUnder Pressure is a survey exhibition of contemporary realism by some fifteen exceptional airbrush artists from throughout the nation and beyond\, including photorealists Don Eddy\, Kirk Lybecker and Hisaya Taira; still life painter Cesar Santander; and abstract illusionist George Green\, among others. Organized by David J. Wagner\, LLC\, Milwaukee\, WI.

During the Golden Age of American Illustration (1900-1950)\, children were often portrayed as symbols of innocence or as objects to protect\, with their depictions varying between encouraging a sense of adventure and as guidelines as to how an ‘ideal child’ should appear and act. \nThis exclusive exhibition features approximately 35 original works by some of the country’s most accomplished illustrators\, created for product advertising\, posters and calendars\, children’s books\, and magazine covers including Good Housekeeping\, Ladies Home Journal\, Scribner’s\, and the Saturday Evening Post.
