from the DIRECTOR
Dear Members,
Happy New Year! We are in the final weeks
of two wonderful major exhibitions, ReTooled:
Highlights from the Hechinger Collection and
Once & Again: Still Lifes by Beth Lipman. If
you have not had the chance to see them
over the hectic holiday season, I encourage
you to come to the Museum before these
shows close later in January. We are also
in the final days of our exhibition of student
work celebrating the 60th anniversary of the
beginning of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Local students’ contemporary take on
that historic moment sparks an interesting
dialogue for everyone to consider.
Art Auction 2016 is almost here! The Art Selection committee led by Mary Dunn
has traveled to Santa Fe, Charleston, New York, and New Orleans, among other
places, to secure some of the best art on the market for you. It will be on view
beginning February 13 in anticipation of the Silent Auction on March 3 and the Live
Auction on March 5. Art Auction chair Lisa
Capell and her committee are hard at work
ensuring this Auction will be our best yet!
They have moved us into on-line viewing and
mobile bidding, making the 2016 event our
first SMart Auction. In keeping with the
technology, all of the information is available
on our website, MMFA.org.
Our winter season is also full of fun family activity. Jazz Jams and Family Art Affairs
are the fourth Sunday of every month from 2 to 4 P.M. On January 21 we are
hosting College Night full of performances inspired by the Bus Boycott and all are
welcome to be a part of that evening.
Our third annual Native American
Family Day will take place on March
12, from 1 to 4 P.M. when the Poarch
Band of Creek Indians will showcase
dance, drumming, traditional crafts, and
storytelling throughout the Museum and
grounds. It is always a day of high energy
and entertainment and has quickly
become a visitor favorite.
As the weather permits, we continue major work on the new MMFA Sculpture
Garden. We look forward to the exciting new programming that will grow out of this
distinctive outdoor gallery and events space. We believe that these opportunities
will further enhance your Museum membership. In the meantime, there is plenty to
do now at the Museum and I hope you visit us often.

ReTooled
Highlights from the Hechinger Collection
Through January 10, 2016
ReTooled profiles 28 artists from the Hechinger Collection and features more than 40
imaginative paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and photographs. The exhibition
celebrates the ubiquity of tools in our lives with art that magically transforms utilitarian
objects into fanciful works that speak of beauty, insight, and wit.
ReTooled was organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, D.C., from
Tools as Art: The Hechinger Collection, a gift of John and June Hechinger.
The Museum is grateful to co-sponsors Oakworth Capital Bank,
Dr. Marla Wohlman and Mr. John Crews.
Once & Again
Still Lifes by Beth Lipman
Through January 31, 2016
Beth Lipman’s spontaneous and expressive process with both glass and photography
results in works of art that capture transitory moments caught between growth
and decay. Going far beyond mere glass blowing, this extraordinary artist creates
portraits of the human condition. Her beautifully intricate sculptures allude to early
examples of seventeenth-century Baroque still lifes—specifically the Dutch Haarlem
style of traditionally laid tables. Instead of using paint, Lipman forms large-scale,
three-dimensional interpretations in glittering glass, each composed of a multitude of
individually handcrafted objects. Augmenting these works are stunning photographs
that reduce her glass objects to two-dimensions, powerfully conveying her messages
of desire and consumption, religious and political symbolism, and the transience of life.
Once & Again is organized by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery,
Alabama.
The Museum is grateful to sponsors Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass,
Dr. Laurie Weil and Dr. Tommy Wool, Corinna and Barry Wilson, and the James W.
Wilson, Jr. and Wynona W. Wilson Foundation, and co-sponsors BB&T, Karen and
Marvin Campbell, Laura and Barrie Harmon, Ann Hubbert, Joan Loeb, Laura and
Michael Luckett, Dawn and Adam Schloss, and Helen Till.

Abundance and Pleasure: Still Lifes in Focus
Through January 31, 2016
The tradition of painting groupings of inanimate objects, known as still-life painting,
dates to antiquity. During the Baroque period (1600–1725), European Masters
popularized this style as painters began rendering assemblages of objects such as
flowers, fish, game, and household vessels. In the eighteenth century, the practice
of capturing the essence of assembled objects into still-life compositions migrated
to America.
Throughout the years, the artists working in the still-life tradition have invigorated
the genre by branching out into various media including works on paper,
photography, and even sculpture. Selected from the MMFA’s permanent collection,
the works of art in Abundance and Pleasure: Still Lifes in Focus display the
trajectory of still lifes from the historical to the contemporary.
The exhibition is organized by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery,
Alabama.

Chryssa
Through
February 21, 2016
Inspired by newspaper
type fonts and ads on
billboards, artist Chryssa
Vardea-Mavromichali
(known professionally by
her first name) created
gestural imagery of
distilled letterforms. As
seen in this series of
prints from 1978, her
works evoke mysterious
new forms and symbols
achieved by altering
and playing with the
structure of typographical
marks and distorting and
fragmenting individual
letters.
The exhibition is organized
by the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts,
Montgomery, Alabama.

Patriotic Prints
February 27 through May 1, 2016
The Kent Bicentennial Portfolio: Spirit of Independence (1975) was commissioned
by the Lorillard Tobacco Company, New York, and was printed by Ives-Stillman,
New Haven, Connecticut, to celebrate the Bicentennial of the United States in
1976. Lorillard, the maker of Kent cigarettes, commissioned Will Barnet, Colleen
Browning, Audrey Flack, Red Grooms, Joseph Hirsch, Robert Indiana, Alex Katz,
Jacob Lawrence, Marisol Escobar, Larry Rivers, Edward Ruscha, and Fritz Scholder
to make a print in response to the question, “What does independence mean to
me?” This portfolio and additional patriotic prints from the Museum’s permanent
collection will be shown.
The exhibition is organized by the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery, Alabama.
The Museum is grateful to co-sponsor Renasant Bank.

Moment Musicale
Through January 10, 2016
Artists find inspiration in music
in the same ways other people
do, but they may also turn to
their own visual creativity in
responding to what they hear.
Moment Musicale is a collection
of works on paper from the MMFA
permanent collection that finds
artists responding to music and
musicians as subjects for their art.
The exhibition is organized by the
Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts,
Montgomery, Alabama.
The Museum is grateful to Weil

Montgomery Bus Boycott 60th Anniversary
Remembering
the Montgomery Bus Boycott
Through January 24, 2016
Fourth grade through high school students from area schools have used many twodimensional and three-dimensional art techniques and media to depict themes related
to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, as the City celebrates the 60th anniversary of this
seminal event in the United States Civil Rights Movement.
Students participating in the
Museum’s after-school outreach
art program at the Mount
Meigs Campus for the Alabama
Department of Youth Services and
fourth-grade students enrolled in
the Artist in Residence Program at
the Wares Ferry Road Elementary
School also created artwork for
this exhibition, learning about the
history of the bus boycott during
their classes.

mmfa SPOTLIGHT
Donna Pickens
is moving on
Despite pleas from her
co-workers, Donna Pickens
retired from her more-thanfulltime position as Assistant
Curator of Education for
ARTWORKS, School, Family
& Children’s Programs at the
Montgomery Museum of Fine
Arts in December.
For 11 years, she designed the
Museum’s studio programs
and supervised the staff that
delivered countless hands-on art lessons for children and adults. Donna co-authored
the Museum’s well-respected fifth-grade tour curriculum, and she helped to organize
family days and special events like Holiday Open House and the Flimp Festival. In
addition, she managed the Museum’s ARTWORKS hands-on galleries (for which
she created some of the exhibits), and she coordinated dozens of ARTWORKS
corridor exhibitions of student art that were always cued to the Museum’s temporary
exhibitions in order to help students explore the themes, techniques, and materials
on display in the Museum’s galleries. Twice the U. S. Department of Education chose
student art from Donna’s programs for a national exhibition in Washington, D.C. that
was co-sponsored by the Association of Art Museum Directors.
In recent years Donna created a new, yearlong, artist-in-residence program for third
and fourth graders at Wares Ferry Road Elementary using pilot-project funding from
the Hearst Foundations and the National Endowment for the Arts. She designed
(and staffed and supervised) a solid program that utilizes Visual Thinking Strategies
to improve students’ creativity, perceptions, and verbal abilities. She also expanded
the Museum’s outreach programs, adding one for the Alabama Department of Youth
Services at Mt. Meigs that officials now seek to duplicate at other facilities.
Donna’s engagement with adult artists was similarly deep and broad. She taught and
coordinated countless evening and weekend workshops, including ARTtalk (with the
Montgomery Art Guild), and Art Ed Central (with and for local art teachers). She has
also coordinated a robust range of lessons for the annual Alabama Art Education
Association meetings at the MMFA, and she has been active in national arts
education organizations as well.
Museum director Mark Johnson said, “We will all miss Donna and her creativity,
perseverance, and passion for art and art education. We are grateful for her decade
of service to this Museum and our community and we wish her the best in her
retirement.”
Donna earned an MFA at Georgia State University and taught art in Atlanta for nearly
three decades before moving to Montgomery. She is an accomplished sculptor with
public art commissions and an artist who has mastered a wide variety of techniques
and materials. She looks forward to flexing her artistic muscles in retirement, while
spending more time with family and friends.
Fortunately for Museum staff and visitors, Donna has agreed to continue working a
couple of days a week for several months to sustain the popular Museum programs
we have all come to expect. So, please wish Donna a happy retirement when you see
her. But don’t dawdle. She’s got grandchildren to see and art to make.

An Expressive Evening
Hosted by the MUSES
Thursday, February 4, 6 P.M.
Join us in celebrating the expressive talents of local students. The MUSES, a council
of teens passionate about the arts, presents the fourth annual Expressive Evening.
Showcasing music, dance, visual arts, and dramatic and literary readings throughout
the Museum, the performance event will engage the collection as a source of
inspiration. Student artwork will also be on view in the exhibition Sensational Still Life. The Museum thanks the Muses representing BTW, Brew Tech, the Home School

organizing this exciting event.
AP Art History
The Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts invites local high school students to apply
to its Advanced Placement Art History course, offered free of charge. In this global
survey class that meets daily in the Museum library, students explore the creations
of a variety of eras and cultures. Key skills the class builds over the course of the
year include identifying works of art, comparing works from different cultures, and
examining influences, artist choices, traditions, and innovations. Art is explored as
a reflection of larger cultural trends, and the class has the advantage of being able
to interact with the Museum’s collection, exhibitions, and visiting speakers. Most of
all the art history class is an exciting introduction to the art and architecture of the
globe and a unique chance to enjoy a seminar style class with students from other
schools. Interested students should contact Alice Novak, [email protected],
334.240.4362, or download an application with the Museum’s website. Teen programs are sponsored by the 2015 Junior Executive Board.

Honoring the Montgomery Bus Boycott,
an Artistic Evening
Thursday, January 21, 5:30 PM
As the City of Montgomery embarks upon a year-long commemoration of the 60th
anniversary of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, there are many citizens who remember
the efforts towards equality in public transportation led by the Montgomery
Improvement Association in 1955 and 1956. At the same time, the next generation
has reflected on the meaning of this important milestone in American history that
occurred in our very city. In partnership with the university and college community, the Museum has organized
an evening of creative celebration of the legacy of Rosa Parks and many others. With
Trebled Soul from Alabama State University, Director of the Rosa Parks Museum,
Dr. Felicia Bell, performers from Huntingdon College, dancers from Tuskegee
University, students from Auburn University at Montgomery, and more, the college
community will offer a memorable tribute at the Museum. Dr. Bell will offer a historical
introduction followed by performances.

Tuesdays at 12 noon, January 26, February 2, 9, 16, and 23
Thanks to the generosity of the late Ida Belle Young, the Museum has acquired
a range of American treasures in recent years and will continue to do so. From
a late Mary Cassatt, Françoise in Green, Sewing, 1908-1909, acquired in 2009,
to Thomas Hart Benton’s Ozark Autumn, 1949, unveiled this fall; the docent-led
course will celebrate the nine Young acquisitions that have added much to the
Museum’s rich American holdings. Docents will discuss each work in depth, and
the course will also address Ida Belle’s legacy, how the Museum acquired the
works, and ways in which young visitors engage the pieces.
Drop-ins welcome, registration preferred. To register, contact Brandy Morrison at

LECTURES AND GALLERY TALKS
2016 Fleischman Lecture:
The Daily Lives of American Folk Artists
Thursday, March 31, 2016, 7 P.M.
Following the opening of A Shared Legacy: Folk Art in America, Dr. Libby
O’Connell will explore the work and daily lives of selected artists in the
exhibition, including Edward Hicks (represented in the Museum’s Blount
Collection), Ammi Phillips, and Clarissa Peters Russell. The Fleischman
Lecture will examine the early to mid-19th century through both the folk art
on view, which is often associated with the customs of ordinary Americans,
and aspects of the artists’ personal lives. For example, what did they
eat? How did they dress? What were the prevailing attitudes about love and
marriage? And how did the era inform the artists’ careers and expressions?
Building upon her early scholarship in social history, Dr. O’Connell’s Emmyaward-winning career at the History Channel speaks to her dedication to
connecting people to the past.
The Fleischman Lecture Series is sponsored by the Carolyn and Winton
Blount Endowment in honor of Larry Fleischman, a dynamic specialist and
leader in the field of American art.
As president of Kennedy Galleries
of New York, Fleischman played a
role in many innovative ventures,
raising international awareness of
issues concerning American art.
He served as a member of the
Fine Arts Advisory Committee of
the White House, co-founded the
Archives of American Art (now part
of the Smithsonian), and founded
and published The American Art
Journal. During the 1950s, along with
his wife, Mr. Fleischman amassed
one of the nation’s earliest collections
of significant American art.

EDUCATION outreach
Art in the Afternoon
This winter the Museum’s Art in the Afternoon program will continue weekly classes for
youth at the Chisholm Boys and Girls Club, E. D. Nixon Community Center, and Bertha
P. Williams Library. Inspiration for the art lessons will come from the exhibitions Once &
Again: Still Lifes by Beth Lipman and Abundance and Pleasure: Still Lifes in Focus, with
projects exploring painting, ceramics, and photography to create still-life works of art.
Classes will also continue for the young men at the Mt. Meigs Campus for the Alabama
Department of Youth Services. Over the past couple of sessions, students have grown
greatly in their drawing abilities, and this winter will put those skills to use through
drawing and painting still lifes and portraits. The young men create increasingly
remarkable works with each session, seeming to blossom most when the projects are
more artistically challenging.

special EVENTS
How a Sculpture is Born
An Exhibition From the Museo dei Bozzetti of Pietrasanta, Italy
November 9 through November 15, 2015
On the occasion of the inauguration of Montgomery’s Mayor Todd Strange for a
second term, the Mayor of Pietrasanta, Italy (our Sister City), sent a contingent
of dignitaries and sculpture in honor of the event. A small collection of sculpture
and information about sculpture making was installed at the Museum and at
Montgomery’s City Hall.
Pietrasanta is located in the Northern Italian region of Versilia that is home to some
of the world’s finest deposits of marble used in the creation of sculpture. The
supply of that valuable commodity has attracted some of history’s most important
sculptors, and in recognition of their work, the city created the Museo dei Bozzetti
(or models) to hold the smaller-scale, three-dimensional designs that are the source
for the larger stone versions. Some examples of bozzetti (sometimes also called
maquettes) were sent to show Montgomerians
the role of models used in the creative process.
DiVine Lunch
January 21, 2016, 11 A.M to 2 P.M.

Holiday Open House
December 5, 2015, 1 to 4 P.M.
It was an afternoon filled with holiday cheer, laughter, and
loud applause as the sounds of Christmas carols echoed
throughout the Museum during the 20th annual Holiday Open
House. Spectators packed the Rotunda and Lowder Gallery
on Saturday, December 5, to hear musical performances by
local choral groups from the River Region.
The studios were bustling with holiday crafts, including the
ever-popular Reindeer Feed Bags. Santa also made a special guest appearance to
take pictures with children and to listen to their wish lists. Cookies, lemonade, and
horse-drawn carriage rides completed this magical day.
While the event was FREE, Museum guests brought
donations of food for the Montgomery Area Food Bank
and toys for Toys for Tots to fill barrels in the foyer.
Holiday Open House is made possible through
funding by the Alabama Arts
License Tag Grant Program
and BBVA Compass.

Over 400 people joined the Junior
Executive Board in their annual

the Poarch Band of Creek Indians for their support.
Volunteer Recognition Day
On Tuesday evening, October 27, the Museum held its annual Volunteer
Recognition awards banquet. Current Board of Trustees President Roger Spain
gave a warm welcome, followed by remarks from MMFA staff. The first award,
for Outstanding Leadership, was presented by Mr. Spain to Board of Trustees
member and past President of the Board of Trustees, Barrie Harmon. Barrie was
recognized for his many contributions through the sponsorship of temporary
exhibitions, as well as his current, critical leadership of the campaign to fund the
MMFA’s new Sculpture Garden.
Other winners announced during the event included Jarrod Cowans, who was
named Rookie of the Year, and Karla Hodges, winning the First Impressions
award. Luigi Edwards received the award for FLIMP Festival support. Cayla
Hamilton, Jamie Reschke, and LaKendrick Taylor were named Outstanding
Interns. The award for leading the Most Successful Bazaar d’Art went to Courtney
Kershaw; the Fundraising Excellence Award for Art in Concert went to Harrison
Hawke; the Development Leadership Award went to C.J. Hincy; and awards
for the Last Call events sponsored by the Junior Executive Board were given
to Rachael Gallagher, Allison Muhlendorff, and Erika Tracy. Docents who won
awards during their graduation ceremony this past spring were also recognized.
We cannot thank all our volunteers
enough for the hundreds of hours of
their time donated to the Museum!
There are many opportunities to serve
your Museum and your community
by volunteering at the MMFA. If you

Special Thank You to the Wilsons
The Museum wants to give a big thank you to Corinna and Barry Wilson. The
Wilson’s generously matched all gifts made to the Museum’s Annual Fund in the
month of December. This is the fourth consecutive year the Wilson’s have chosen
to support the Museum in such a thoughtful way. Thanks to their support, and to
everyone who made a contribution in December, the Museum was able to reach
its funding goals for 2015. This support will enable the Museum to continue to
bring highly sought after exhibitions, quality educational programing, and provide
free admission to the Montgomery community through 2016.
