Suburbia in the city

Suburbia in the city

My Manhattan life has often had a suburban twist to it. When I bought a home, it was on a cul de sac at East 72nd Street. In the early days of my long tenancy there, the block was busy during the weekdays with commercial activity, but ever so peaceful and remote over the weekends. It felt like I was (and later as if we were) miles from the hubbub of the city.

My rental on E. 89th Street did not…

Direct from the Director, Fall 2017

The impulse to depict (a word whose Latin origin means to paint a picture)—to pick up an implement, be it a pen, a brush, a crayon, a stylus, a piece of charcoal, a stick—is universal.  The ancient Roman writer Pliny the Elder attributed the origins of painting, or depicting, to the tracing of shadows cast on a wall, a visual phenomenon that is, like the act of depicting itself, known to people of all cultures throughout human history.  Some periods are well known for their great painters and draftsmen—we need think only of the brilliant triumvirate of the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael—while others, going far back in time, produced artists of consummate skill whose names and identities are not preserved in the annals of history, such as Paleolithic cave painters.  

          A little known, but extraordinarily compelling, school of drawing is the subject of our fall exhibition in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries.  Picturing History: Ledger Drawings of the Plains Indianspresents over fifty drawings by Native American artists, some known by their names or glyph-signatures, others given descriptive monikers by way of delineating an otherwise unknown artistic personality.  Records of their indigenous cultural practices and rituals, epic battles, and, inevitably, interaction, exchange and conflict with Euro-Americans, these fascinating works on paper were made by artists of considerable talent who, like their European and non-Western counterparts, were seized by the urge to draw.  Little known other than to specialists of Native American art and culture, they are a revelation, and the exhibition is not to be missed.  

          In our ongoing resolve to expand our presentation of a wide range of cultures and time periods, a number of Chinese, Korean and Islamic works of art will be on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries beginning in September, generously placed on long-term loan from Columbia University’s rich collection of art properties.  In addition to deities of recognizably human form, a number of these works, produced over a period of centuries, share a preference for lyrical, almost abstract floral and decorative motifs.  Across time and space, these find a resonant echo in the haunting and melodic, biomorphic paintings and watercolors of contemporary Connecticut-based artist Richard Lytle, whose distinguished career is the subject of a retrospective presented in the Walsh Gallery.  

          As always, a visit to the Fairfield University Art Museum never disappoints, and new discoveries await.  See you in the galleries!

Artfully yours,
