from the DIRECTOR
Dear Members,
Happy New Year! We are starting 2013 with
a brand new look for OnExhibit, with more
white space, bigger pictures, and a removable
calendar for you to post on your bulletin board
or refrigerator for easy reference.
I hope you plan to join us on Thursday, January
17 for the opening of the newest group of
exhibitions. There is something for everyone,
from dramatic rediscovered Tiffany windows
to Cam Langley’s fanciful glass work, and
Thornton Dial’s lyrical drawings to William
Dawson’s wide range of work as a self-taught
artist, and the newest rotation of the Paul R.
Jones Collection Series. There is much to see
and enjoy.
Speaking of events, there are a few others
to point out. On Thursday, January 31 we
will be hosting A Trifecta of Artful Events,
showcasing our unique ability to transform the
Museum into a space suitable for nearly any
special event. Our 25 Preferred Providers will
be on hand showcasing their special talents
in making your reception, dinner, or meeting a
memorable one. If you are even considering
hosting a party or meeting, large or small, I
encourage you to see our many facets in action.
Bazaar d’Art Chair, Ashley White and her
outstanding committee have been planning
for months our ever-popular cocktail party on
March 7, featuring a silent auction of pre-loved
art and select packages. The preview will begin
on February 21 during regular Museum hours.
Visitors can pre-bid and do not need to be
present at the event to win.
This is just a taste of our exciting winter;
I hope you join us often and I look forward to
seeing you in the galleries!

In Company With Angels
Seven Rediscovered Tiffany Windows
January 19 through March 17
In 1902, Louis Comfort Tiffany
(1848-1933) created seven eightfoot-tall, stained-glass windows for a
Swedenborgian church in Cincinnati.
When the church was demolished
in 1964, the windows were saved,
forgotten about, and subsequently
found and restored. Each window
features an angel that represents a
passage from the Bible’s book of
Revelation. The windows utilize the
rich and varied palette of Tiffany’s
rolled, textured, antique, opalescent,
drapery, and flashed glass. While
the faces and flesh of the angels
were painted by hand, the rest of the
windows are “plated,” an innovative
technique of layering glass that
6
imparts great depth to the imagery.
The windows, reproductions of
selected historical documents, and a
video of the windows’ conservation
treatment weave together art, history,
and spirituality.
Exhibition organized by In Company
with Angels, Inc.
The Museum is grateful to Hyundai

Thornton Dial: Thoughts on Paper
January 12 through March 17
Since the early 1990s, Thornton Dial
(born 1928) has produced a rich
body of lyrical works on paper, often
engaged with themes of gender and
human relationships. The exhibition
focuses on the earliest of those
drawings, featuring 50 sheets with
Dial’s characteristic and broadly
coherent iconography of women,
fish, birds, roosters, and tigers
rendered in a variety of media. This
pioneering exhibition presents a
lesser known aspect of the work
of Dial, a Bessemer, Alabama artist
with an international reputation, best
known for his large-scale, multimedia assemblages that deal with
a wide range of charged social and
political themes.
Organized and circulated by the
Ackland Art Museum, The University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with
funding in part by an award from the
National Endowment
for the Arts, the Frey
Foundation, and the
William Hayes
Ackland Trust.

Cam Langley: GLASS
January 12 through March 17
As a participant in the American
Studio Glass movement for
more than 30 years, Birmingham
artist Cam Langley (born 1948)
created hand-blown objects
that were both functional and
formally inventive. Trained as a
civil engineer at Virginia Tech,
he transitioned to a career as
an artist after a visit with the
man recognized as the dean
of the American Studio Glass
movement, Harvey Littleton
(American, born 1922). Littleton
organized the first glassblowing
seminar on the grounds of the
Toledo Art Museum in 1962, and
he founded the first universitylevel hot glass program at
the University of Wisconsin –
Madison. After learning what
he could from Littleton, Langley
mastered the techniques of glass
blowing at the Penland School
of Crafts in North Carolina, and
subsequently established his hot
glass studio in Birmingham. This
exhibition will feature 22 glass
objects that are now a part of the
MMFA’s permanent collection – a
miniature survey of the artist’s
career in glass blowing. His most
utilized forms are represented:
single flowers, floral bouquets,
goblets, stemware, and flower
bowls. A selection of loans from
private collections will also be
included.
Organized by the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts,
Montgomery, Alabama.

William Dawson
Through March 24
Known primarily for his carved figures
and totems, William Dawson (1901–
1990) also created numerous paintings
of animal subjects and futuristic
visions of architectural spaces. Born
and raised in Huntsville, Alabama,
memories from his childhood on his
family farm inspired much of Dawson’s
work, as seen in his images of birds,
dogs, cats, horses, and cows. In
addition to his depictions of animals,
Dawson created portraits of friends,
celebrities, and political figures both
sculpturally and on paper.
After gaining wide recognition with
his inclusion in the seminal 1982
exhibition, Black Folk Art in America:
1930–1980, at the Corcoran Gallery in
Washington, DC, Dawson continued
to create an astonishingly varied body
of work throughout the rest of his
life. The exhibition, William Dawson,
brings one of the South’s important
artists to the forefront by highlighting
his signature wood sculptures and
his paintings alongside the playful
assemblages Dawson created from
an assortment of materials such as
chicken bones, hair, wire, and other
found objects.
Organized by the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery,
Alabama.
The Museum is grateful to
Micki Beth Stiller and Laura
and Barrie Harmon for their
individual support of William
Dawson.

Rembrandt van Rijn: Master Printmaker
January 19 through March 10
During his long and productive
printmaking career, Rembrandt
(Dutch, 1606–1669) used a
variety of intaglio techniques
including engraving, etching,
and drypoint to delineate a
wide range of subjects. This
focused show demonstrates
his mastery of the medium
with religious imagery,
portraits, peasants, and
landscape views.

Canaletto and Piranesi
March 16 through May 5
Canaletto (Giovanni Antonio Canal, Italian, 1697–1768) and Giovanni Battista
Piranesi (Italian, 1720–1778) created real and imaginary views of Italian cities
and ruins that have remained popular with collectors since their creation. The
“vedute” (i.e., views) by Canaletto in this exhibition were made in his hometown
of Venice. The “carceri d’invenzione” (i.e., imaginary prisons) by Piranesi in
the show are “capricci,” invented images of dark, cavernous interiors with
monstrous machines reminiscent of the cruel ancient Roman justice system.

in MEMORIAM
Jean Kaufman Weil
1922 to 2012
The Museum wishes to honor the memory of Jean K. Weil, who was a
patron and a great friend of the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts. Mrs.
Weil’s involvement with the Museum was longstanding, and most notably in
partnership with her husband, Adolph “Bucks” Weil, Jr., who passed away
in 1995. Mr. and Mrs. Weil were the primary supporters of the Museum’s
outstanding collection of Old Master prints, and the founders of the Weil Print
Endowment in 1980.
Jean Weil was a constant presence in the history of the MMFA – she was an
active volunteer in the years of its development, and a significant influence
behind the scenes in support of the Museum’s role in the Montgomery
community. She believed in the Museum and its mission to enrich the local
cultural environment and to educate young people. After the death of her
beloved husband, she transitioned into a steady source of counsel and
encouragement for the Museum and its staff.
Jean Weil was blessed with tremendous elegance and grace which she shared
liberally with her family, friends and the community. She will be greatly missed,
but the legacy of Jean and Bucks Weil will live on in the fabric of the MMFA
and its collections.

Catch this exhibition before it’s
gone! In celebration of the 50th
anniversary of the American
Studio Glass movement,
we are proud to present the
work of master glassblower
and Alabama native Stephen
Rolfe Powell. Spanning the
arc of Powell’s career from
early paintings, ceramics, and
glass prototypes to his four
mature series, Teasers (1987–
2003), Whackos (2003–2005),
Screamers (2006–2011), and
Echoes (2011–present), this
exhibition illustrates Powell’s
mastery of Italian murrine
techniques alongside innovative
and unconventional glass
processes resulting in the
breathtaking works of art on
view.

Through January 13

The exhibition Accumulations:
The Art of Joelle Ford and
Stephen T. Johnson brings
together the work of two
Kansas-based artists who
playfully transform mundane
materials into unexpected and
witty assemblages. Working
independently, these two artists
have similar motivations – to
find beauty and meaning in
the transformation of items
that we discard or overlook
in our everyday lives. Ford
and Johnson locate and
amass vast quantities of
these commonplace objects
and create compositions that
incorporate color, texture, and
pattern. Through their repetitive
use of singular objects, Ford
and Johnson go beyond mere
accumulation, and instead
create works of art that
humorously examine our current
society’s preoccupation with
material goods.
Organized by the Montgomery
Museum of Fine Arts,
Montgomery, Alabama.
The Museum is grateful to MAX and
Doug’s 2 Salon-Spa for their corporate

Adult Classes & Workshops
The Foreshortened View
(a drawing class)
During the Italian Renaissance,
artists and architects developed
many methods or ways of seeing to
create the illusion of a heightened
space in their paintings and
drawings. Linear perspective,
atmospheric perspective,
foreshortening, and other techniques
were used for this sense of
dimensional space. In this series of
classes, students will be encouraged
to enlarge certain parts of their
drawings and to shorten other parts
to create a more powerful illusion of
depth. Students will work from stilllife set-ups as well as live models.
Most supplies are provided.

Thornton Dial, a self-taught artist
from Bessemer, Alabama, has
been creating paintings, drawings,
assemblages, and sculpture for many

large-scale works combining paint
with objects salvaged from his

early 1990s feature his familiar
images of women, fish, birds,
roosters, and tigers rendered in a
variety of media.

on Paper, Cam Langley: Glass, and
In Company with Angels: Seven
Rediscovered Tiffany Windows.
After-school classes are being held
weekly at the E.D. Nixon Community
Center and Bertha P. Williams Rosa
Parks Avenue Branch Library.
In conjunction with these exhibitions,
students will continue to learn about
glass as an art medium and will also
be introduced to different methods
of drawing in relation to the works
of Thornton Dial. They will also work
with two Montgomery artists to learn
techniques for creating painted glass
and to create clay garden posts,
inspired by the animal imagery of
Thornton Dial, that will later be placed
in the community garden near the
E.D. Nixon Center.
