Maxfield Parrish: Raymond Han

Transcription

May & JUNE
Maxfield Parrish:
Art of Light and Illusion
May 23 – September 7, 2015
Sponsored in part by The Morgan McReynolds
Group at Morgan Stanley.
As one of the most popular American artists of the twentieth century,
Maxfield Parrish created fantastic images of fairy-tale figures and idyllic
landscapes in a style that was all his own. Through a prolific career
that spanned from the 1890s through the 1960s, Parrish became
one of America’s first truly “public” artists. The mass reproduction
of his paintings—originally intended as book and magazine
illustrations, advertisements, calendars, and murals—ensured his
reputation as one of the most widely-known figures in the history
of art. It has been said that in 1925 a lithograph of his most wellknown painting Daybreak could be found in one out of every four
American homes. Parrish’s magical artwork continues to capture the
imagination and inspire today’s artists, musicians, and filmmakers.
The exhibition features approximately 45 pieces, including paintings,
prints, and sketches. Photographs show Parrish’s influence in
contemporary films. It also includes props, models, and tools that
illustrate the intricate creative process used by Parrish, enabling
him to produce these fantastical works of American art.

Raymond Han:
Still Lifes and Figures
June 20 – December 31, 2015
Raymond Han, an American painter born
in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1931, is a master of still
life and figurative painting. He is best known for
his realist works which display tight renderings of
figures and objects against pearly backgrounds.
Han’s more recent works include brilliant color
fields that warm the otherwise de-saturated
palette. The exhibition features approximately
20 of Raymond Han’s large scale paintings.

Marc Chagall’s Magic Flute:
Highlights from the Metropolitan Opera
on view through December 31, 2015
Sponsored in part by Nellie and Robert Gipson, and
Lady Juliet Tadgell and Dr. Christopher Tadgell.
In our continuing series of exhibitions that complement The
Glimmerglass Festival’s summer schedule, the Fenimore Art Museum
presents costumes, masks, and images from the Metropolitan Opera’s
1967 production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, designed by famed artist
Marc Chagall. From backdrops to visuals for publicity, Chagall’s bold style
elevated this colorful 18th-century masterpiece to even loftier heights.
The exhibition features six outlandishly vibrant costumes and four fantastical masks,
each designed and hand-painted by Chagall himself. Alongside are photographs
and other related artifacts that assist in telling the story of his influence on this
particular production. The pieces are on loan from the Metropolitan Opera.

For 40 years, the enormous color transparencies that graced Grand Central
Terminal touched the hearts of millions. Today, they represent not only an appealing
and believable idealization of American life, but a nuanced and effective use of
photographs to create desire for the products and activities they sold. Thirty-five
of these coloramas are reproduced in this George Eastman House exhibition.

The 10th
Contemporary
Iroquois Art Biennial
CLOSING SOON! on view
through June 7, 2015
Brenda Mitten‘s photography
records the community of Six
Nations (including Mohawk, Oneida,
Onondaga, Cayuga, Tuscarora,
and Seneca) on an everyday basis,
and forms a perfect comparison
to the presentation of 18th- and
19th-century daily life among
the Iroquois in the Fenimore’s
outdoor site Otsego: A Meeting
Place. It also underscores the
fact that the Iroquois are still a
vibrant community in New York.

Lavern Kelley was a dairy farmer who lived just a few miles south
of Cooperstown on a small family farm. He had taken up whittling

matter was all around him, and included not only farm vehicles like
trucks, tractors, and plows, but also people, which he began to carve
in response to the requests of his patrons. The exhibition surveys
a full range of works by Kelley in private and public collections

MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS
Discover how
early photography
contributed to
the demise of
folk portraiture
in the 1840-50s.
Established
painters were deeply affected by
the invention of the daguerreotype
and their reactions to this early
photographic method varied.
Regardless of their responses, it
became clear almost immediately
that the American public would
embrace this new technology, making
painted portraits virtually obsolete, by
creating what artists and daguerreans
alike called “a perfect likeness.”
Character Tours
Experience an entertaining and
memorable tour led by a historical
character - played by an actor!
