Spring 2014 newsletter

The Museum’s spring exhibitions, sponsored by the Alliance of the Swope, explore visual art that takes its inspiration from literature. Simultaneously opening on Friday, February 7, 2014 will be Craig McDaniel: The Story of E and Other Love Letters in the Hermine Haslem Gallery and Gallery Three; Inward Eye: Richard Anuszkiewicz and William Blake in the Ada McGurk Hodge and Edward Hodge Gallery; and From the Swope’s Collection: Selected Art Inspired by Literature in the Education Gallery.

The Story of E and Other Love Letters February 7 – March 8, 2014In this exhibition, contemporary artist and author Craig McDaniel (b. 1948) displays the results of his experiments merging a dual background in creative writing and painting.

After more than 25 years of painting narrative scenes about domestic life, the artist developed an experimental novel The Story of E (or A Beautiful Bird: Songs of E ) based on the characters and situations in his paintings. Work on the novel then led to more paint-ings, contemplation of the indistinct separation between writing and painting that he was experiencing, and ultimately to a body of work that explores new approaches to the English alphabet by linking letters to colors. McDaniel published the novel with support from an Indiana University IAHI grant.

McDaniel’s experiments include the modular structure of paintings and books, both of which can be rearranged and read from multiple entry points. Reminiscent of work by naïve artists in that they are painted in a stylized manner, the paintings are characterized by manic amounts of detail and lyrical color. The mundane domestic settings and activities include elements of fantasy or dream as well as humor and poetry that represent the profundity of everyday moments. With images that reflect several times of day and seasons, the paintings defy the visual conventions of time, conveying a sense of mystery and melancholy.

Also on view will be McDaniel’s latest body of work, geometric abstractions based on passages of literature and imaginary texts that are represented with an alphabet coded in blocks of color.

McDaniel is currently Associate Dean and Professor of Fine Arts at Herron School of Art and Design, IUPUI. He served on the faculty of Indiana State University’s Department of Art from 1988-2003.

Inward Eye: Richard Anuszkiewicz and William Blake February 7 – March 8, 2014Richard Anuszkiewicz (b. 1930) created the Inward Eye suite after a friend told him that his work brought to mind that of the English visionary poet-artist William Blake (1757-1827). One of the leading artists of the Op Art movement, Anuszkiewicz explores the nature of visual perception in his work. The rhythm that he creates through the use of geometric and linear forms and vibrating colors of equal value has sometimes been compared to the cadence of poetry.

Each of the ten prints in Inward Eye is housed in a folio that contains two excerpts from Blake’s writings. Anuszkiewicz selected texts that support Blake’s core belief that human beings achieve divinity when released from their limitations. Although Anuszkiewicz has a highly rational, scientific approach in his work, like Blake he is interested in conveying feeling, explaining once that he wished to make “something romantic out of a very, very mechanistic geometry.”

From the Swope’s Collection: Selected Art Inspired by Literature February 7 – March 22, 2014Among the gems of the Swope collection are works of art inspired by great works of literature. This small exhibition in the Education Gallery will reveal the words that sparked the creativity of select artists. Included will be works by internationally renowned pop artist Robert Indiana, who has referred to himself as a “sign painter” and who often looks to the works of American poets for inspiration; Terre Haute native Gilbert Wilson, who dedicated much of his creative output to inter-preting Melville’s great novel Moby Dick; early Terre Haute artist James Farrington Gookins, whose fairy paintings were inspired by the fantasy scenes in William Shakespeare’s plays; and Social Realist Ben Shahn, who created a series of work based on Psalm 150 in his late career.

from the director: Swope building improvements

During the past several months, you may have noticed a lot of activity focused on the Swope’s

exterior. Built in 1901, the Swope Block, the building in which the Museum is housed, requires

significant maintenance, as does any building of its age, and all the more so to provide the proper

environment for the collection. Among the recently completed building projects have been repairs

to the façade in July and August, complete replacement of the roof in September, and installation of

fifteen new windows on the third floor in November and December. We are grateful to the City of

Terre Haute for a matching grant that enabled the Museum to make the repairs to the façade.

It is critical to the preservation of the collection that the interior environment provides stable

temperature and humidity. The traditional standard set forth for preserving collections has been 70°F

± 2 degrees and 50% relative humidity, ± two percentage points. Of late, museum professional

standards have expanded to include a slightly greater temperature range, with the understanding

that it is critically important for the preservation of works of art that daily fluctuations in temperature

and humidity be minimal. The old windows on the third floor of the Museum have posed a particular

threat to maintaining a stable environment due to the use of single pane glass, gaps between the

glass and the surrounding window frame, and rot and deterioration in the wooden frames. During

colder months, the problem is made manifest in the heavy condensation that collects on the win-

dows. There are a total of 33 windows on the third floor, all of which were in need of replacement

when the project started. In 2012, we were able to replace two windows, and we are grateful to

the Alliance of the Swope Art Museum for underwriting one of those replacements.

Since 2012, the joint Boards and management of the Museum have made a priority of finding

additional funding to replace more of the windows. This August, we were therefore thrilled to learn

that 100+ Women Who Care, Vigo County, had selected the Swope Art Museum as the recipient of

its members’ quarterly donation, with the contribution specifically targeted for window replacements.

This major donation came after Board of Overseers member Sheron Dailey gave an inspiring speech

explaining the importance of the project. The group donated $21,400, and its generosity resulted in

added benefits, for others were inspired to contribute for a total amount of $43,900. We are grateful

to the Morse Family Charitable Fund, the Taylor Family Fund of the Community Foundation of Greater

Lafayette, and to Andrew McAleese and Anna Lee Chalos-McAleese, whose donation is in memory

of Eli and Betty Chalos, for their generosity in support of this project. With these donations, just

over half of the third-floor windows have been replaced with new, airtight frames and double-paned

glass. Those attending the December “Miracle on 7th Street” First Friday, which occurred midway

through the replacement project, saw the dramatic difference between the old windows, which had

bad condensation, and the new, which had none.

It has been wonderful to see the goal of completely sealing the building envelope come closer to

fruition. The generosity of so many people in supporting the window replacement project has been

overwhelming, and we are very grateful to all of them. If ever there were proof of the enthusiasm

that Vigo County has for its arts organizations, the window replacement project is surely it!

Become a Docent!If you are interested in art and American art history, enjoy engaging people in conversation and have some extra time, why not become a docent? Classes for docents begin mid February, and experience is not necessary!

Volunteer docents are available, with advance notice, for guided tours of the Museum. Docents facilitate tours year round for groups of all ages, from community organizations and clubs to area schools and home schools. In the spring, docents conduct tours for all fifth graders in the Vigo County school system sponsored by Terre Haute Savings Bank. To schedule a tour or for more information about joining the docent corps, contact the Swope.
