The Wizard of Oz on view for the
holidays!
The Topography of Oz will light up Catherine A. Fusco
Grand Hall with a brilliant video art display November
29 through December 29, 2013. Jeffrey Moser, a digital
media artist, is influenced by the research of former
Boston University film professor Dr. Robert Steele
(1918–1981), and his studies on light rhythms. Moser
continues Steele’s research through his appropriation
of the 1939 classic, The Wizard of Oz, with a computer
program that analyzes each movie frame, creating
a topographical map of areas of light and darkness.
Through a new look at this holiday favorite, Moser’s
experimental film reveals the Technicolor splendor of the
Land of Oz.

EXHIBITIONS
American Moderns, 1910–1960: From
O’Keeffe to Rockwell
Through January 5, 2014
Drawn from the Brooklyn
Museum’s renowned American
art collection, this expansive
exhibition features paintings and
sculptures that highlight changes
in American art and culture during
the fascinating half-century from
1910 through 1960. The works
of art on view were produced by
leading artists of the day, including
Georgia O’Keeffe, Milton Avery,
Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Rockwell Kent,
Joseph Stella, Grandma Moses, and Norman Rockwell.
Complementing the Delaware Art Museum’s own collection,
this exhibition explores how American artists engaged
modernity by creating cubist experiments, images of modern
structures, Americana, and stylized renditions of traditional
subjects such as landscapes and still-life arrangements.
American Moderns, 1910–1960: From O’Keeffe to Rockwell has been organized by
the Brooklyn Museum. The Delaware Art Museum’s presentation of this exhibition
is generously supported by the Johannes R. and Betty P. Krahmer American
Art Exhibition Fund, DuPont, Wilmington Trust, and individual donors. Additional
support is provided by grants from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state
agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership
with the National Endowment for the Arts. The Hunt Magazine, Delaware Today,
and Mainline Today are media partners. Images, clockwise from top-left: City

EXHIBITIONS
“Blessed are the Peacemakers:” Violet Oakley’s The
Angel of Victory (1941)
February 8 – May 25, 2014
Violet Oakley (1874–1961) was an illustrator, stained-glass designer, and the first
American woman to find fame in the burgeoning field of public mural painting. During
World War II, Oakley joined the Citizens Committee of the Army & Navy to produce
portable altarpieces for use on American battleships, military bases, and airfields
around the world. Oakley’s The Angel of Victory, originally painted for Brooklyn’s Floyd
Bennett Airfield and now in the Delaware Art Museum’s permanent collection, was
the first of her 25 wartime altarpieces. This exhibition was curated by the Museum’s
2013 Alfred Appel, Jr., Curatorial Fellow. Learn more on page 7.
Organized by the Delaware Art Museum.

Curator Corner
As the Delaware Art Museum’s inaugural Alfred Appel, Jr.
Curatorial Fellow, I was tasked this summer with organizing
an exhibition on the American artist Violet Oakley and her
altarpiece The Angel of Victory (1941), in the Museum’s
permanent collection. Oakley devoted her 60-year artistic
career to the quest for a just and peaceful world. The Angel
of Victory epitomizes that lifelong mission (see left).
The Appel Fellowship exhibition project enabled me to
explore the Museum field as I had never done before. I
walked for two months in a curator’s shoes, bringing a
show from its inception (archival research, developing a
concept, and assembling a checklist of objects) to fruition
(writing wall text and labels, designing the gallery layout,
developing public relations, and educational materials).
The Fellowship also challenged me to do the hard work
of telling a story not so much through my own words, but
instead through the thoughtful selection and arrangement
of objects themselves. Through careful study, constant
revision, and the wise guidance of my supervisor
(the Museum’s Chief Curator, Margaretta Frederick), I
assembled a series of objects that tell the largely untold
story of Oakley’s altarpiece and reveal key insights into
her career.
My research revealed that The Angel of Victory, originally
painted for Brooklyn’s Floyd Bennett Airfield, was the
first of her wartime altarpieces, which she completed
just two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor and the
American declaration of war. Thanks to a recent gift from
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia
of more than a dozen preliminary drawings for The Angel
of Victory, this exhibition reunites the altarpiece with its
preparatory studies for the first time. In so doing, it allows
for the exploration of Oakley’s unique creative process.
The works in this exhibition also reveal how the artist
responded to a volatile moment in world history by infusing
her religious works with a democratic spirit and her lifelong
belief in peace.

MUSEUM SUPPORT
Donors tell it like it is: the Delaware Art
Museum matters
“It is a cultural hub. When my daughter tells me that a piece
of metal sculpture ‘is just like music’ I know that you and I
have done a good job.”
“DAM has done a terrific job connecting all kinds of people
to art in very accessible ways. I especially appreciate the
high-caliber studio classes and the adult social events that
get lots of people browsing through the galleries together.”
These quotes were shared during a recent survey. Can you
relate?
Our Museum relies on individual donors to support scholarship,
the preservation of our collections, special exhibitions,
unique classes, and programs. More than one-third of our
annual operating revenue comes from individual donors just
like you. Support our Annual Fund today.
Fund our Fridays
Over the past few years, the Museum has launched
exciting new programs called Art is Social and Art is After
Dark. These Friday night events—which attract hundreds
of participants—have featured a variety of fun activities,
including live sketching, music, yoga, beer and wine
tastings, and outdoor films. Most importantly, they have
increased access to the Museum by extending hours for
busy professionals, families, and groups who want to view
and discuss art in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
We are excited to share with you that we are expanding
this popular program to a monthly series. On select Friday
nights, all the galleries will be open and the Museum will
feature lively, themed entertainment, including music, gallery
tours, art activities, films, performances, and lectures. Our
goal is to raise $25,000 by December 31, which will fund a
year’s worth of extraordinary and affordable events for all to
enjoy. We’re seeking individual Art is After Dark donations
and sponsorships. Donate $2,000 to sponsor a Friday
evening of your choice. A gift of $100 will cover supplies for
an art activity. $250 defrays the costs of getting the word out
about these great offerings. $500 covers security costs for
an evening. All gifts are greatly appreciated and help make
this Museum a more vibrant place.
Help make Art is After Dark a series the community can
embrace. Please use the enclosed envelope to send in your
gift today.

The Delaware Art Museum
Council invites you to join in
its efforts
The Delaware Art Museum Council, founded
in 1967, is a group of enthusiastic volunteers
whose primary purpose is to support the
mission of the Museum. As part of its mission,
The Museum Council has continued to raise
funds for special projects based on the
Museum’s needs, such as conservation, the
Helen Farr Sloan Library & Archives, and
educational programs. In 2012, the Museum
Council helped fund the following projects:
Conservation of Delaware Passage,
Robert Stackhouse
An integral part of the Copeland Sculpture
Garden acquired in 1991, Delaware Passage
underwent much-needed conservation to
preserve the vertical A-frames and guarantee its
future integrity. The conservation of this iconic sculpture was
made possible by contributions from the Marmot Foundation
and the Delaware Art Museum Council.
Conservation of Orifice II, Joe Moss
In 1983, the Delaware Art Museum purchased Moss’ bright
red participatory sound sculpture, Orifice II. This work of
art is a visitor favorite and has become the image most
associated with the Museum, and served as the inspiration
for the Museum’s logo at one time. Conservation work
included replacing a missing bolt, touching up paint losses,
cleaning, and waxing.
Conservation of “His niece had found him lying
dead,” and “Another rush of breakers pitching the
boat, corklike into the air,” Howard Pyle
Purchased by the Museum in 1915, these two Howard
Pyle works were featured with the story “A Life for a Life”
written by Pyle in Scribner’s Magazine, January 1900. In
2012, West Chester conservator Mark Bockrath carried
out extensive conservation work to both canvases,
consolidating flaking paint, and cleaning the surfaces.
The frames for each were also cleaned and waxed. Both
paintings are now on view.
Delaware Passage by Robert Stackhouse.
Conservation of Untitled, Richard Pousette-Dart
This fragile painting was produced with nontraditional
methods in 1950 and gifted to the Museum by the
Betty Parsons Foundation in 1985. In need of some
conservation, its true surface color was obscured and the
ability to exhibit the work was limited. Conservator Mark
Bockrath cleaned the painting and frame, consolidated
flaking paint, and filled in distracting losses.
Art Book Sale
In October 2012, the Council organized a special sale of art
books to benefit the Helen Farr Sloan Library & Archives.
More than $2,000 was raised to acquire new books for the
Library.

The Museum Council continues to grow in its
involvement and commitment to the Museum, and
