SUMMARY:Connections: Haley\, Peterson & Shields OPENS / Gallery Walk & Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join the artists for a thought-provoking gallery walk on Sunday\, December 3\,\nand learn more about the fascinating connections in their works. \nThe Huntsville Museum of Art is pleased to present the fifth installment of its new Connections exhibition series focused on contemporary artists linked in terms of subject matter and sensibility. Connections: Hoss Haley | George Peterson | Tom Shields showcases three artists from Western North Carolina who recycle and transform discarded materials into stunning works of art.  Hoss Haley crumples and reassembles sheets of metal stripped from old appliances into stunning modernist forms and is regionally acclaimed for his striking works in steel\, concrete and bronze.  Self-taught artist\, George Peterson\, carves and paints scrapped skateboard decks\, changing them into primitive\, handcrafted wall artifacts. Tom Shields has been working with wood for nearly twenty years.  He explores furniture as a subject rather than an object\, melding old and broken chairs and tables into complex visual forms with potent narrative potential.

By the 14th century\, paper-cutting spread to the rest of the world bringing in a new wave of folk art traditions. Cut Up/Cut Out honors both innovation and tradition with a selection of over 50 artists representing diverse styles and techniques by taking a contemporary view of an ancient art practice that has evolved over thousands of years. \nCut Up/Cut Out is an exhibition of local\, national and international artists who explore the captivating methods of decorative piercing and cutting\, using a wide range of media from paper and plastic to metal and rubber. The transformative nature of cutting into and through a surface provides endless possibilities for converting the material from opaque to transparent\, from flat to sculptural\, from rigid to delicate\, and from ordinary to exquisite. The process and precision required for this method of art-making is laborious\, technically demanding and always astonishing. \nVisually diverse\, the artworks in Cut Up/Cut Out range in size from an intimate three inches to sprawling and complex installations\, and they represent an abundance of conceptual ideas. The artists address our relationship with nature and environmental issues\, personal and political narratives\, architecture\, fantasy\, and abstract or formal ideas—with many intersections. \nThis show features several large scale installations including: Margaret Griffith’s Coringa\, a hand-cut\, 12 foot long paper artwork that cascades from the ceiling\, Adriane Colburn’s expansive multimedia piece Forest for the Trees\, and a site–specific\, interactive installation by Los Angeles artist Rebecca Niederlander.  Cut Up/Cut Out also includes a group of artists who are drawn to cutting into unique or unusual materials such as tires\, oil drums\, and leaves. \nThe curator of this exhibition\, Carrie Lederer\, was inspired by Bay Area artist\, Irene Pijoan’s (1953-2004) groundbreaking large-scale cut paper artwork and has dedicated Cut Up/Cut Out to her memory.  Cut Up/Cut Out is a traveling exhibition that was organized by the Bedford Gallery and will travel nationally through 2020.

SUMMARY:The Birds of America: Audubon Aquatints FINAL DAY
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents 24 of the 435 prints comprising the best known work of 19th century American naturalist John James Audubon (1785-1851): the folio of engravings entitled The Birds of America. The execution of this series captivated Audubon’s imagination for over twenty-five years\, with the actual engraving of the images taking place from 1826 to 1838. The works on view are from the private collection of Kathy and Michael Mouron of Birmingham\, Alabama\, and are being shown publicly in the region for the first time. \nTo observe his subjects firsthand\, Audubon traveled through much of the North American continent – often killing his specimens to examine them as closely as possible. He recorded the appearance of birds in a variety of media. His intricately detailed illustrations – all of which are rich in observation – include songbirds\, waterfowl and birds of prey\, which are represented as life-size and in their natural habitats. \nIn 1826\, Audubon entered into the process of having his paintings published as hand-colored engravings. He collaborated first with the Edinburgh-based William H. Lizars\, but when a colorists’ strike brought this partnership to a close\, Audubon began his collaboration with Robert Havell\, Jr. The partnership with Havell lasted until 1838. \nBoth printers worked closely with the artist\, making certain the prints retained the character of the artist’s originals. However\, the care required to produce the artistic quality Audubon demanded often came into conflict with the pragmatic need to create prints speedily. To meet this demand\, Havell devised a method of working that echoed the modern assembly line. He employed a team of colorists\, each of whom was dedicated to finishing a specific aspect of each print. \nAbout the Collectors \nBoth Kathy and Michael Mouron graduated from the University of Alabama. Upon graduating\, Michael went to work in Birmingham for Price\, Waterhouse & Co. and was assigned to the Gulf States Paper Corporation in Tuscaloosa. The CEO of Gulf States Paper Corporation\, Jack Warner\, was a philanthropist and businessman known for his collection of American art. Gulf States’ corporate office held Warner’s immense art collection and among the pieces were Audubon aquatints from The Birds of North America. The collection at the corporate office was so impressive that after business hours\, the building became an art gallery with tours conducted often. After visiting those offices\, Michael Mouron was drawn to Audubon’s birds. \nWhile traveling forty years later\, Michael and Kathy spotted Audubon’s Summer (or Wood) Duck through the open doors of the Arader Gallery and Michael remembered it from Mr. Warner’s collection. The owner of the piece was Mr. Graham Arader. After getting to know each other\, the Mouron’s and Mr. Arader quickly formed a friendship on the basis that the artwork should be made accessible to college and university professors for active use in their teaching. \nAfter purchasing the “Wood Duck” aquatint in May\, 2013\, the Mourons\, with help from Mr. Arader\, have now accumulated thirty-three other pieces. “With Graham’s careful guidance and counsel\, I believe we have been able to secure some absolutely fabulous pieces\, rich in color and with full margins and some with most interesting provenance.” \nSeven of the aquatints are currently on loan to the University of Tennessee in honor of Michael’s father and most of the other pieces will be included in the exhibition at HMA.

SUMMARY:The Sporting Life: Selections from the Remington Arms Art Collection FINAL DAY
DESCRIPTION:Boasting over 400 paintings dating from roughly 100 years ago to the present\, Remington’s holdings include works by such respected early 20th century artists as N.C. Wyeth\, Frank Xavier Leyendecker\, Lynn Bogue Hunt and William Harnden Foster\, as well as paintings by contemporary masters Tom Beecham\, Larry Duke and the legendary Bob Kuhn (the man generally acknowledged to be the greatest animal painter of the last half-century). \nThe paintings were commissioned to illustrate posters\, prints\, calendars and other advertising vehicles for The Remington Arms Company\, America’s oldest gun maker. Founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion\, New York\, as E. Remington and Sons\, it remains the largest American producer of shotguns and rifles. The paintings that were created for the company over the past century typically depicted a sportsman using a Remington firearm or ammunition\, but often in an understated way. The underlying idea was that the image through the drama\, excitement and romantic appeal of its narrative\, would excite the imaginations of sportsmen and hunters alike. \nThe superiority of Remington’s products was implied\, with the subtext being that using Remington would make you a better shot and\, in effect\, a better hunter. The more effective an artist was at creating images that triggered these emotional responses\, the more successfully the message was conveyed. \nOrganized by the Huntsville Museum of Art\, The Sporting Life includes approximately 75 original works and is the first major museum exhibition curated from the Remington Arms Collection in over 40 years.

SUMMARY:Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera OPENS
DESCRIPTION:Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) was a 20th-century American author\, painter and illustrator whose works appealed to a broad population in the United States for its reflection of American culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over a period of nearly five decades. \nFinding success at a young age\, Rockwell became the art director of Boys’ Life\, the official publication of the Boy Scouts of America in his teenage years.  At age 21\, Rockwell set up a studio with the cartoonist Clyde Forsythe and in 1916\, the 22-year-old Rockwell painted his first cover for The Saturday Evening Post.  Over the next 47 years\, another 321 Rockwell covers would appear on the cover of the Post. \nEarly in his career\, Rockwell would hire professional models to pose for the characters in his paintings. However\, beginning in the mid-1930s he embraced photography and began using friends and neighbors rather than professional models.  For Rockwell\, already known as “the kid with the camera eye\,” photography was more than an artist’s aid.  The familiarity with his new subjects paired with the camera’s ability to capture a fleeting expression or freeze a difficult pose\, brought a new flesh-and-blood realism to his work and opened a window to the keenly observed authenticity that defines his art. \nNorman Rockwell: Behind the Camera is organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum and is the first exhibition to delve deeply into Rockwell’s richly detailed study photographs\, created by the artist as references for his iconic paintings. Organized with author and guest curator\, Ron Schick\, the exhibition reveals a rarely seen yet fundamental aspect of Rockwell’s creative process and unveils a significant new body of Rockwell imagery in an unexpected medium and showcases the behind-the-scenes shots as works of art themselves. \nThe exhibition\, Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera\, is organized and circulated by the Norman Rockwell Museum and brings together prints of Rockwell’s study photographs and original paintings and drawings from their permanent collection.
