GMOA FALL 2010 • page 3

From the Director

Occasionally, people ask me “what are y’all doing while the museum is closed? Taking a break?” Believe me, the staff and I have never been so busy. Our editorial department, for example, and our curators are feverishly working on two catalogues of the collection to have ready for the opening.

Jenny Williams, in our communications department, is working on improving in vari-ous ways—and updating—our public-relations efforts. The educators and curators are preparing for our grand reopening at the end of January 2011 by planning installa-tions and programs and setting up exhibition and event schedules. The rest of the staff, especially the preparators, who are planning how to pack and transport everything from art to office furniture, are nervously anticipating the move back into the building this fall. Annelies Mondi, deputy director, has been working nonstop as our liaison with designers, architects, contractors and suppliers.

If all that were not enough, the whole staff is involved in our self-study for reac-creditation. The Georgia Museum of Art has an accreditation review every 10 years, and we are undergoing our fourth such effort since the museum’s founding in 1948. Accreditation is an indication that a museum upholds the highest standards in serving the public, and, as only around 780 museums out of the roughly 17,000 in the United States are accredited, it is a recognition that the museum takes seriously. A new word has crept into our vocabulary: we are proud to be “mission-centric,” and we look for-ward to introducing the accreditation site visitors next year to our new building, where we will be able to fulfill the goals of our new strategic plan, one that emphasizes our joint role as a community and university museum.

The plan also calls for a reorganization that reflects the reality of a greatly enlarged facility without concurrent growth in the staff due to the financial exigencies of the times. One of the first steps in that direction has been the appointment in July of Paul Manoguerra, our curator of American art, to chief curator with responsibilities for over-seeing the development, planning, design and installation of exhibitions at the museum.

As a matter of fact, the last year has been particularly eventful for the curators and me. We have been traveling more than ordinary to meet with private collectors, to visit museums and colleagues to arrange exhibitions, to support our peer professional orga-nizations and to commission projects with artists, not to mention the ever-necessary fund raising.

One of the highlights of the year has been the Collectors’ tour of the Hudson River Valley at the end of August, when we visited private homes, museums and historic sites. Ask any of the good folks who accompanied us, and you will hear about our dinner at the Culinary Institute of America, or about the races at Saratoga, about the guided tour of Edith Wharton’s house (The Mount) or maybe about sunset cocktails at our friends’ house in the Berkshires. My colleague David Setford, the director of the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, arranged for us to have dinner in the interior courtyard at his museum, a real treat, as we had the entire building to ourselves with enthusiastic docents and sufficient time to see it all. One most memorable event was our luncheon at the Sterling and Francine Clark Institute in Williamstown, Mass., after which we saw an exhibition of the works of Picasso and Degas that has had international recognition as one of the best exhibitions of the year, and I am so glad that our Collectors had a chance to see it. I am hoping that this description of an exciting trip will entice our readers to join the Collectors. We already have plans on tap for visits to collections in Atlanta and Athens, for a jaunt to Nashville to welcome “Whistler’s Mother” back to the United States and even tours as far away as Rhode Island to study the decorative arts in the great houses of Newport; to Spain and France to follow in Pierre Daura’s footsteps; and, perhaps, to New York for gallery-hopping.

Once again, then, to answer the question of what we are doing, we are not only planning events to introduce our new building to the public, but also crafting exhibitions and programming that further visual-arts education for all.

New Acquisitions

The West Foundation Collection of Atlanta recently gave Benjamin West’s “Portrait of Captain Christopher Codrington Bethell” and John Linton Chapman’s “Via Appia” to the museum in honor of GMOA director William U. Eiland and in anticipation of the museum’s reopening this winter.

The portrait by West, a native of Springfield, Pa., and historical painter for King George III, is the earliest American painting in the museum’s collection.

A longtime resident of Italy, American artist John Linton Chapman painted the Via Appia, the ancient section of the great Roman road that led to southern Italy, several times over the course of his career. In this version, he shows the view along the ancient road looking back toward the city of Rome.

Jason Schoen’s comprehensive collection of American Scene paintings served as the impetus for the exhibition “Coming Home: American Paintings, 1930–1950, from the Schoen Collection,” organized by GMOA in conjunction with the Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile, Ala., in 2003. Jay Robinson’s painting “Billie Holiday

Singing the Blues” appeared in the exhibition, and Schoen recently gave the painting and preliminary sketch to the museum.

These new acquisitions will be featured in the museum’s catalogue of the collection, “One Hundred American Paintings” (January 2011), and will be on permanent view in the new galleries.

Echoes from the Continent: Franco-Germanic Chairs in GeorgiaOctober 15, 2010–January 31, 2011Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, 434 S. Main St., Madison, Ga.www.mmcc-arts.org

Gathered from private collections and institutions in Piedmont Georgia, the chairs selected confirm that ethnic

aspects of the earliest settlement in this region remained in Georgia’s culture for more than a century. The exhibition is organized by Dale Couch, adjunct curator, Henry D. Green Center for the Study of the Decorative Arts, GMOA, and presented in conjunc-tion with the seventh biennial Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts Conference on American Culture, October 28–30, 2010, at the Madison-Morgan Cultural Center.
