MUSEUM NEWS
Update: Core Collection
Enhancement Project
Over the past two months, work on the remodeling,
renovation and reinterpretation of the Museum’s core
art collection has focused on repurposing the Pioneer
Room from a history gallery to an art gallery. Staff spent
October removing the graphics, paintings and a majority
of artifacts—on display since 1991—and placing them in
storage.
November witnessed the removal of the larger items:
the bell and clockwork mechanism from the first San
Joaquin County Courthouse, the H.C. Shaw sulky gang
plow, the Globe Iron Works ore car, the Sterling Centrifugal
Pump and Tillie Lewis’ famous “kettle.” Given that most
of these items weigh close to 1,000 lbs. (with the courthouse
bell tipping the scales at an impressive 1,800 lbs.), a good
deal of planning and care went into their transport. All
have been relocated to other history galleries within the
museum.
With the old Pioneer Room display cases removed,
the gallery’s spaciousness was once again revealed. New
wall and floor treatments coupled with state of the art
LED lighting will make this an impressive—and fitting—
new home for the Museum’s paintings by Albert Bierstadt,
Edward Lampson Henry, Thomas Hill, George Inness,
Thomas Moran, Julian Rix and other American artists.
While planning the renovation of the Pioneer Room
and other Haggin art galleries, the Museum’s I-Team (a
committee representing members from the Museum's
various departments) has been participating in weekly
meetings (with the support of Gallagher & Associates) to
discuss the Haggin core collection and design the exhibits
for the renovated art galleries. This process has included
working with scale models of the galleries, and Haggin
collection pieces, as well as producing elevation sheets
demonstrating potential exhibition designs and placement.

COLLECTION HIGHLIGHT
The Carriage Parade
and Childe Hassam's Paris Years
While redesigning the art galleries under current
renovation, the Museum’s I-Team has been examining
the narrative content long attached to the core collection.
The I-Team has taken a specific
interest in how new exhibit designs
will bring additional stories to the
forefront of the Haggin collection.
Through these discussions, many
paintings in the Haggin collection
have been unanimously deemed
"anchors" to the Museum’s core
collection and the Haggin narrative.
These well-loved, historic Haggin
favorites have been so celebrated
by the Haggin community, they
have become essential to any
discussion about the meaning and
interpretation of the core collection.
Childe Hassam’s The Carriage Parade
is one of those paintings.
Frederick Childe Hassam
spent his formative years studying
art in Boston. Between 1886 and
1889 Hassam lived in Paris and
studied traditional academicism
at the popular Académie Julian. Upon arrival in Paris,
Hassam’s visually conservative techniques underwent a
transformation that would influence the rest of his career,
earning him later prestige as one of the most successful
American Impressionists in history.
Well beyond a traditional arts education, what
Hassam found during those critical years in Paris was a
community of French Impressionists who were involved
in a somewhat controversial visual revolution. While
contentious in its infancy, French Impressionism would
go on to become one of the most celebrated modern art
movements in history.
Hassam, whose work was generally more
conservative than the French Impressionists, was attracted
to the movement because of its affiliation with the earlier
styles of British Romanticism, particularly the landscape
paintings of John Constable and J.M.W. Turner. Hassam
had long admired the heavy brushwork (or impasto) of
these earlier artists whose work was celebrated by the
French Impressionists.
By 1888 Hassam had painted The Carriage Parade, a
depiction of open coaches proceeding down the ChampsÉlyssés boulevard toward the Arc de Triomphe. Clearly
adapting core Impressionist tenets, Hassam’s brushwork
provides the atmospheric effects of a hazy spring day.
French Impressionists developed methods to capture a
The Haggin Museum Members Bulletin
single moment in time by focusing on the more intuitive
experiences of time and place. Hassam’s painting achieves
this with the use of a low vantage point to draw the
viewer in, making them an active
participant in the scene, rather than
a mere spectator. Furthermore,
Hassam implies the sense of infinity
by cropping the edges of the scene.
The result is that the sounds,
temperature, bustle and emotional
spirit of the French city can be
clearly imagined far beyond the
frame of the painting.
Louis Terah Haggin and his
wife Blanche Butterworth Haggin
(parents of Eila Haggin McKee, the
Museum’s founding donor) spent a
considerable amount of time living
between San Francisco, New York
and Paris during the latter part of the
19th century. The socially prestigious
couple acquired paintings at
auctions, from art dealers and from
artists themselves, but they did not
keep accurate records. While there
are many gaps in Haggin records about how and when
The Carriage Parade joined the collection, there are clear
links between the artistic interests of Childe Hassam,
Louis Terah and Blanche Butterworth Haggin.
The Haggins also spent a large part of the 1880s in
Paris. It was likely their love of the modern Parisian
lifestyle that so attracted them to Hassam’s work during
this period. While the Haggins often preferred the
more traditional academic styles, they also had a taste
for the avant-garde, as evidenced by some of the more
aesthetically liberal artists found in the collection such
as Renoir and Gauguin. One can only speculate that the
Haggin family saw Hassam’s The Carriage Parade as a
celebration of Paris, by an accomplished academicist who
wasn't afraid to experiment with the contemporary styles.

Saint Mary's High
School to Celebrate
140 years with
Haggin Museum Exhibit
On Display in The West Gallery
February 4 - 28, 2016
Saint Mary's High School will celebrate
140 years of milestones and memories with an
exhibit in the Museum's West Gallery during
the month of February. The exhibit will feature
vintage items including school and athletic
uniforms, photos, trophies and other informative
and historical details from the school's archives.
Saint Mary's High School has been an
important pillar of the Stockton community
since the school first opened in 1876.
The school has maintained a long and
distinguished history of preparing its students
for the college experience. Since its inception,
Saint Mary's has moved to several locations
throughout Stockton, but has remained at its
current location since 1956.
The Haggin Museum is excited to engage
in this community partnership and is looking
forward to sharing its galleries with such a
long-standing and esteemed Stockton institution.
