ACQUISITIONS
Decorative Arts Shine in New Galleries
Exciting gallery changes
connect decorative arts
with paintings, sculpture
and works on paper.
Striking new acquisitions
and rarely seen Museum
pieces are now on display.
Thrilling changes at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art are leading to new interpretations, displays, conservationtreatments and acquisitions in the decorative arts collections. The major shift originated with the Museum’s initiative to integrate decorative arts with appropriate paintings, sculpture and works on paper in order to create dynamic and intellectually stimulating installations.
Art of different media will now be experienced together, as in Gallery 132, where visitors can encounter a pair of ArtNouveau silver candelabra crafted about 1900 by theAustrian jewelers Vinzenz Mayer’s Söhne, adjacent to theImpressionist Wooded Landscape at L’Hermitage, Pontoise byCamille Pissarro of about 1879. The swirling design of thecandelabra twists and bends, echoing the tree limbs inPissarro’s painted landscape. Although made of very differentmaterials, both objects demonstrate the late 19th-centuryinterest in nature that is abstracted, yet infused with movement and light. The candelabra are new acquisitions,purchased with monies from the Charlotte and Perry FaethFund, established in 2001 for the express purpose of acquiring decorative arts.
Other new acquisitions include the glazed stoneware Vase byEdmond Lachenal, from about 1895, which is displayedamong the Post-Impressionist paintings in Gallery 129. HereLachenal has been informed by the arts, especially ceramics,of Japan in form, motif and color. An earlier, more literalapplication of organic ornament is demonstrated in the
