Young Curators: Montessori Selects

April 22 – August 20

Murray and Ledger Galleries

The spring of 2011 will mark the end of Montessori Middle School’s first year of holding classes at Polk Museum of Art. To mark this occasion, PMoA offers these students an opportunity to participate in deciding what is displayed in two galleries. The 40 students have been divided into pairs and will choose an artwork from the Permanent Collection. Each team will then provide their own commentary on their decisions. This exhibition will introduce us to their perception while also allowing the students to become more involved with the curatorial processes at PMoA. These ‘young curators’ are sure to impress and add a new perspective to the exhibition experience.

Women’s Views

February 5 – May 22, 2011

Perkins Gallery

This exhibition will include works from the Permanent Collection which were created by women. With some of the largest museums coming under fire for rarely showcasing female artists from their collections, we devote an entire exhibition to works by some of the many talented women in our collection. Painters, sculptors, photographers, printmakers, weavers and ceramicists from around the country will be represented in this exhibition. Artists will include Hung Liu, Barbara Kruger, Fonchen Lord, Jean Yao, Maggie Taylor, Miriam Schapiro, and Dianora Niccolini.

The Big Picture

January 15 – March 26, 2010

Emily S. Macey Gallery

Exhibition Reception: Friday, January 14, 6:00 – 8:00pm. FREE for Members, $10 Non-Members.

It is ironic to think that an artwork’s large size makes it invisible.  That can easily happen within an extensive museum collection; sometimes oversized works are shown less often because of their cumbersome size or the lack of exhibiting wall space. Polk Museum of Art wants to counteract this by devoting an entire exhibition to some of the largest artworks in its collection. The Big Picture will create an opportunity for the Museum to show off the size of its collection while giving our audiences the opportunity to view an exhibition of giants. This exhibition will include works from the Museum’s Permanent Collection by such artists as Hunt Slonem, Theo Wujcik, John Briggs, Gilberto Ruiz and Philip Pearlstein.

Retrospect and Restoration: Paintings by Humberto Calzada

January 15 – March 26, 2011

Dorothy Jenkins Gallery

Exhibition Reception: Friday, January 14, 6:00 – 8:30pm. FREE for Members, $10 Non-Members.

Humberto Calzada is a leading figure from the first generation of exiled artists to have developed outside of Cuba. He introduces historically charged imagery into a modernist pictorial tradition. His paintings of architectural scenes are based on observations and memories of Cuba. He combines the scientific approach of Renaissance perspective with the state of uncertainty of de Chirico’s piazzas and the experience of 20th-century abstraction with nostalgic sentimentality.

Humberto Calzada was born in Cuba in 1944 and has lived in the United States since 1960. In 1966 he received a degree in Industrial Engineering, followed by a MBA in Finance (1968) from the University of Miami. He began painting in 1972 and since 1976 has dedicated his time exclusively to painting. His work has been said to carry on the classical Latin American artistic tradition: dreamlike realism, tension created by the contrast between calm and conflict, and the use of timeless symbols as a universal language.

Throughout his career, he has applied these themes using architectural imagery. He depicts harmony through the use of natural elements, and he depicts conflict through the opposition of the ephemeral movement of light and water against the static force of stone and glass.

Visual Unity 2

October 2, 2010 – January 8, 2011

Dorothy Jenkins Gallery

Exhibition Reception: Friday, October 1, 6:00 – 8:30pm. FREE for Members, $10 Non-Members.

Behind the Art, an artists roundtable discussion of the exhibition will be held Saturday, November 13, 1:00-2:00pm. The event is free with regular admission and will feature at least nine of the artists in the exhibition.

What happens when you partner 19 very different artists and tell them to make a piece of art together?

In a reprise of the exhibition Visual Unity that was hosted by the Morean Arts Center in St. Pete last year, Polk Museum of Art is partnering with local artist Rocky Bridges to open a new take on the original. Bridges will serve as co-curator of the project which will include 19 participating artists, divided into nine teams. Each team of artists will work to produce two collaborative pieces for the exhibition. In addition to these mutually produced works, the Curator of Art will select one recent piece by each artist to be shown as an example of their respective styles.

Participating artists include

  • Rocky Bridges (Tarpon Springs, FL)
  • Jill Cannady (Deland, FL)
  • Richard Currier (Micco, FL)
  • Edouard Duval Carrier (Miami, FL)
  • Monica Eastman (Plant City, FL)
  • Ummarid “Tony” Eitharong (Orlando, FL)
  • Susan Gott (Tampa, FL)
  • Steven Gregory (Tampa, FL)
  • Kirk ke Wang (Tampa, FL)
  • Jeff League (Winter Park, FL)
  • Monica Londono (Sarasota, FL)
  • Tim Ludwig (Deland, FL)
  • Duncan McClellan (St. Petersburg, FL)
  • Carol Mickett/Robert Stackhouse (St. Petersburg, FL)
  • Leslie Neumann (Aripeka, FL)
  • Tony Savoie (Orlando, FL)
  • Lucia Taxdal (Winter Haven, FL)
  • Theo Wujcik (Tampa, FL)

This exhibition will focus on both process and product. Artistic collaboration can sometimes yield interesting effects, potentially shifting an artist’s perspective and causing creative reformation within the studio. Throughout art history, artists have always been a communal breed, feeding from one another’s creative energies and ideas, yet keeping enough distance between them to create individual styles and identities. By forcing two artists to collaborate and produce works specifically for exhibition, personalities, styles and natures of media can collide to create beautiful harmonies of expression. The artworks produced and shown by these artists will be viewed not only for their aesthetic and technical beauty, but also for the creative process behind them.

Eye See America: Through the Lens of Joshua Mann Pailet

October 2, 2010 – January 8, 2011
Emily S. Macey Gallery

Joshua Mann Pailet is a photographer with a lens for absorbing America. This exhibition will include 66 photographs from his broad opus which will all work in unison to form a visual journy into the American experience. Inspired by the photographic social commentary of artists such as Dorothea Lange, the beauty of natural phenomenon in works by Ansel Adams, and the advertising and documentary character of Elliott Erwitt’s images, Pailet’s ability to combine the American sensation and fine art photography is moving, nostalgic, raw, and always beautiful.

 

Pailet was born in New Orleans, raised in Baton Rouge, and then returned to New Orleans where he now owns and manages A Gallery for Fine Photography. His extensive travels across the varied landscapes of the United States have provided the people, places and events which became the subjects of these photographs. From his cross-country ride aboard the American Freedom Train in 1976 to his experiences in New Orleans post Katrina and the energy of rock’n’roll concerts, his images capture insights into the country’s recent history, its contemporary national identity and the people who help sustain it.

Modern Masters

June 26 – October 3, 2010

Perkins Gallery

This exhibition will be a survey of works by some of the more familiar names in the Museum’s collection. Artists such as Arshile Gorky, Robert Rauschenberg, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Barbara Kruger, Robert Motherwell, Alexander Calder, and Judy Chicago will be represented in this exhibition. Although recognized now by art history for their innovative contributions toward the advancement of fine art, these artists were often defined by their early critics as being unorthodox. They were, in fact, producing artworks which redirected and reformed the world of art in ways that now define contemporary art. With this exhibition, the Polk Museum of Art shares an attractive sampling of works by some of these Modern heavy hitters.

Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color

July 3 – September 25, 2010

Dorothy Jenkins and Emily S. Macey Galleries

The myriad of themes explored by Loïs Mailou Jones (1905-1998) over the impressive length of her 75 year career makes for a dynamic exhibition of more than 70 works, including paintings, drawings and textile designs. During a brief teaching stint at Palmer Memorial Institute, a preparatory school in Sedalia, North Carolina, Jones created several paintings that marked her transition from design to fine art. Jones’ influences were extensive throughout the remainder of her career. Her lush oil paintings of the French countryside and traditional fruit and flower still lifes highlight her skillful observation of nature. Her marriage in 1952 to noted Haitian graphic artist Louis Vergniaud Pierre-Noël instigated a change in the subject matter and palette of her paintings. Her frequent trips to Haiti re-energized her strong design sense and inspired vivid acrylic and watercolor paintings that displayed a marked fascination with Caribbean culture. After additional travels that included African countries, her work became characterized by brilliant color, rich patterns and a variety of Haitian and African motifs.

Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color is organized by the Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC, in collaboration with the Loïs Mailou Jones Pierre-Noël Trust, and toured by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.

Joseph Raffael

January 23 – April 4, 2010

Dorothy Jenkins Gallery

A rose is a rose is a rose, even if it’s 5 feet tall and 7 feet wide. That’s the way master artist Joseph Raffael likes to paint his watercolor flowers in his studio in France. The American artist has surrounded himself with beauty and color, and as a result of this lifestyle, his garden and his birds are major subjects of his art. His medium, watercolor, allows him the freedom of a wide range of color, yet possesses the unique characteristic of transparency. Both his choice of natural subjects and of a transparent medium reflect Raffael’s interest in the eternal characteristics found in nature. To convey this quality, Raffael paints with the paper scrolled up so that he focuses only on what he is painting at the moment; no one part of any one work is more or less important than another. Only when the piece is nearly finished does he see the entire image. The exquisite detail found in each stroke of Joseph Raffael’s collection of bouquets has stunned people around the world. The paintings go beyond the flowers and demonstrate the power of the unimaginable beauty of nature.

Raffael’s interest in the eternal has probably been influenced by his brush with death many years back. After nearly dying in 1963, the artist’s formerly abstract impressionist approach was replaced with an expressive realism. Now, in more recent years, he has been introduced to meditation and focuses on an appreciation of life. With these new perspectives, Raffael’s style has again been transformed – expressing single, whole images. The monumentality and complexity of his works offer new views of flowers, different from what we are accustomed to in daily life or in typical flower paintings. The size and vibrant color of each element in the images individualizes them, revealing each as a separate, yet integrated, part of the whole image. Raffael looks at the beauty of flowers and expands them to a remarkable scale and fills our vision with these beautiful works.

This national touring project was organized by the Nancy Hoffman Gallery includes Raffael’s recent monumental flower paintings. Raffael was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1933. He studied at Cooper Union, Yale-Norfolk School, Yale School of Fine Arts, and has received a Fulbright Fellowship. While at Yale he studied with artist/teacher and color theorist Josef Albers. Raffael’s work is collected by major institutions throughout the world and was featured on the cover of the June 2007 issue of Watercolor Magic magazine.

Kenneth Treister: The Colors of Nature

January 23 – April 4, 2010

Emily S. Macey Gallery

Complementary to Raffael’s vibrant flowers, famous architect Kenneth Treister’s paintings also reflect the beauty of nature. The two artists, however, approach their subjects from unique angles. While Raffael uses a micro view, emphasizing individual details of his flowers, Treister takes a more minimal approach, while also looking at the beauty of his lushly landscaped Winter Haven home. Instead of focusing on the details, shapes and lines of a landscape, he steps back and allows the forms to dissolve into shimmering silky colors, revealing what the artist calls the “patterns of nature.”

Treister associates this approach with the Japanese concept of Shibui. The term refers to the highest level of beauty — a pure, simple, understated beauty that can easily be missed if one does not search for it. As Shibui relates to his art, Treister describes it as “a hidden art, where its many layers of paint have to be unpeeled over time to reveal its inner soul.” This exhibition will be presented as a single installation, allowing visitors to experience the works as a group, as if walking through a garden. During your visit, we encourage you to contemplate the simplicity and purity of nature as it is revealed through Treister’s pieces.

Art & Design: Contrast

December 19, 2009 – April 18, 2010

Ledger & Murray Galleries

This exhibition is the fifth in a series of six exhibitions presented over two years that demonstrates the roles of the Principles of Design through artworks from the Museum’s Permanent Collection. As Edwin Forrest, a famous 19th century American actor, claimed “A passion for the dramatic arts in inherent in the nature of man.” We are irresistibly drawn to drama, conflict, and contrast. It is central to any novel, movie, or play as well as our topics of conversation and daily news. It captivates us. For a similar reason, artists employ contrast in their art works to guide the viewer’s gaze and to set a tone. By juxtaposing opposite or contrasting elements — such as light and dark, rough and smooth, large and small, vertical and horizontal — artists can create drama and visual dynamics. Contrast can also be produced by pairing complementary colors or by breaking repetition. Artists do so to visually enliven and highlight important elements in their works and to communicate meaning to the audience.

Semi-Natural

December 5, 2009 – March 21, 2010

Perkins Gallery

Abstraction is a challenging concept. Unlike “non-representational” or “non-objective” art, ‘”abstract” art begins with and maintains a connection to nature. Oftentimes, we are so familiar with subjects, particularly natural and man-made elements, we see only banal objects. Through abstraction, one’s attention is focused on the components — the lines, colors, and shapes — that join together to form each subject and image.

Much like the satisfaction of completing a jigsaw puzzle, one can more deeply appreciate a work of art after learning to appreciate each element and the ways in which these elements interact. Artist Ted Waddell shows us cattle in a landscape, not as distinct realist figures but as expressive marks which are part of the landscape; Donald Sultan directs our attention to flowers as shapes in black and white not as a floral bouquet; Henri Matisse draws a face with simple lines expressing what a face is not representing a specific person; sculptor Scott causey shows us a rabbit as a humorous patterned action figure.

This exhibition presents a variety of artwork from the permanent collection that is abstracted from nature in a variety of ways and to different degrees. Each piece challenges you to understand and appreciate the visual language’s expressive potential and variety, not just the final product.

The Surreal Photography of Jerry Uelsmann

November 14, 2009 – January 17, 2010

Dorothy Jenkins Gallery

Jerry Uelsmann is arguably the most important photographer working today. Fifty years ago he began creating beautiful montages by hand in the darkroom. When he began combining multiple negatives onto a single print, his work was considered an intense challenge to the world of photographic art. Today, he is understood to be a true visionary and pioneer, paving the way for much of the most daring contemporary photography. Yet the power and beauty of his work is still stunning even in this age of digital cameras, printers and software.

Uelsmann has stated that he tries to create “images that challenge reality and sustain their mystery for a prolonged period of time.” His surreal photographs bring together many of the hopes and questions that occur to us when we let our imaginations wander. Although he is not attempting to illustrate dreams, he does “have a dreamlike sensibility” and looks to create images that encourage his viewers to seek new ways of seeing the real world beyond the expected or answering questions with “stock answers.”

This exhibition is drawn primarily from Polk County collections, including the Museum’s. It presents a wide look at the career of Jerry Uelsmann, beginning with work during his years in graduate school, through his 30-plus years as a professor at University of Florida, all the way through to his 21st century work.

Born in Detroit in 1934, Uelsmann received a BFA degree from the Rochester Institute of Technology and graduate degrees from Indiana University. He joined the faculty of University of Florida in 1960. During his career, Uelsmann has received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. His work has been collected by major museums throughout the world, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Canada, the National Gallery of Australia, the Bibliotheque National in Paris, the National Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto, and the Museum of Photography in Seoul.

The 1970s

August 29 – November 29, 2009

Perkins Gallery

The 1970s. It was a decade that began with the end of the Beatles and the introductions of All My Children and The Gremlin, survived the death of Elvis and the popularity of leisure suits and Charlie’s Angels, and continued through disco, the Walkman, and Space Invaders. It was also a decade unlike any other that preceded it in terms of ideas and styles in the art world. This exhibition of works from the permanent collection presents examples of some of the major trends that were either developed during the 1970s or reached their high point during the decade.
