Art at Vassar Fall 2009
The membership publication for the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College
A publication for the members of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center Fall 2009 F ro m t h e d i r e c to r In Praise of Home Cooking When I was a freshman in college I paid my first visit to Manhattan and its vast cultural resources. While there, I met up with an acquaintance from high school who was a graduate student in art history at NYU. I asked him if he could recommend a good exhibition to see at one of the museums and he answered flippantly "There's usually a good one at the Frick Collection." These were the days when the Frick only exhibited its small, fabulous, but static permanent collection. Clearly the message was that great objects in permanent collections are often overlooked by visitors, even first-timers, for the sake of seeing the latest traveling blockbuster project. In spite of this modern fact of life, museums like ours continue to devote a portion of their resources to adding to and improving the permanent collection in order that they might fulfill their missions ever better over time. The wisdom of this strategy reveals itself during times of fiscal constraint and duress. When the cost of producing large traveling exhibitions cannot be met by the organizing institution or rented by a host venue, such plans are often cancelled or deferred. We have recently heard from several museums to whom we had promised to lend objects, that plans for the exhibitions had been shelved for a year or two or scotched altogether. It is at these times that fine permanent collections can be mined by creative curators for new meaning and interpreted for the public in exciting ways. To think of art storage as a pantry stocked with marvelous ingredients that can be combined in imaginative new ways, encourages us to cook at home rather than take out meals from restaurants. When I first arrived at this institution in 1991, this was a survival skill since we had virtually no money to spend on exhibitions. With growth over the years and the welcome arrival of several exhibition endowments, we have been free to import a certain number of key exhibitions. The Art Center's exhibitions schedule for 2009-2010 is a mixture of rented and permanent collection projects but as we can expect smaller returns on the endowment over the succeeding two years, the ability to mine an even better permanent collection today (than in the early 1990s) will demonstrate its worth once more. There are collateral benefits to this approach. Curators are free to do more research on the objects in their care, something that can be supplanted as a priority by the needs of working with incoming traveling exhibitions. It also encourages input from faculty and other colleagues and can result in projects tailored to more specifically meet the needs of the Vassar curriculum. With these facts in mind, my thanks goes out to the farsighted and prescient directors and curators of the Vassar College Art Gallery who believed in building the art collection for the future since their future has become our present. James Mundy The Anne Hendricks Bass Director 2 Art at Vassar Fall 2009 Uncovering a Rich Trove Drawn by New York: Six Centuries of Watercolors and Drawings at the New-York Historical Society August 14 � November 1, 2009 oN VieW Celebrating the four-hundredth anniversary of Henry Hudson's famed voyage up the Hudson in 1609, the exhibition Drawn by New York: Six Centuries of Watercolors and Drawings at the New-York Historical Society also celebrates the rich trove of fine art found at the New-York Historical Society. The exhibition spans six centuries, from rare mid-sixteenth-century watercolors of European birds--precursors of the work of Audubon--to representations of the World Trade Center before and after September 11, 2001. Astounding visual records from early voyages of discovery as well as picturesque views of the sublime American landscape are also on display. The presentation includes images that evoke America's growing wealth and power, such as Charles Dana Gibson's satirical pictures of Gilded Age society, and celebrations of the American people, from portraits of explorers, artists, and inventors to images of immigrants, street vendors, and workers. Organized by the New-York Historical Society, Drawn by New York provides an overview of the depth and range of the Historical Society's important holdings, while allowing visitors a unique insight into America's evolving image. The Art Center's exhibition is a selection of eighty-one works from the larger, groundbreaking exhibition held at the New-York Historical Society in the Fall of 2008. The Society's collection of watercolors and drawings was the first established in any public institution in the United States and includes a special concentration of works that reflect New York's scenery, settlements, citizens, and collecting patterns (including its early sixteenth-century watercolors). Yet until now, this extraordinary collection of some 8,500 original works of art has never been the subject of a traveling exhibition. Following these guiding themes, the exhibition at the Art Center is arranged around New York's scenery--its rivers, fall, and land; the state's settlements; and portrayals of New York's citizens, from colonial to contemporary times. Just as Niagara Falls and the Hudson River have charmed generations of artists, the state's settlements--especially New York City--have attracted artists from the seventeenth century onward. The exhibition includes one of the first-known views of the city, then called New Amsterdam, from around 1650. A sweeping scene of the harbor and nascent city at the tip of the island, it abruptly contrasts with the grand, neoclassical architecture of the federal city in later works on view. The Great Fire of 1835 destroyed most of the buildings at the city's tip and the business district of Wall Street, as is shown in Nicolino Calyo's Neapolitan-inspired gouache of the city on fire, from sketches he made while watching the conflagration. Almost two centuries later the experience was replicated in Donna Levinstone's pastel triptych, Eternal Rest. Levinstone's emphasis on the fiery clouds of smoke around Wall Street's World Trade Center updates the New York City theme to the recent past while also eerily recalling Calyo's The Great Fire of 1835. Joshua Rowley Watson (English, 1771-1818) View of Lake George, New York, Folios 37v-38r in a Sketchbook, 1816 Watercolor, graphite, and black ink wash on two sheets of paper, bound into a sketchbook; each sheet 4 7/8 x 8 7/8 inches New-York Historical Society, Museum purchase, Beekman Family Association Fund, 1958.85 Visitors to Drawn by New York can view the entire Watson sketchbook on a touch screen monitor and see the artists' impressions of early America. Fall 2009 Art at Vassar 3 Portrayals of New York's citizens are also an integral part of the permanent collection of the New-York Historical Society. For example, the appealing 1798 portrait of Robert Fulton by John Vanderlyn drawn in revolutionary Paris with the then new Cont� crayon, portrays the future developer of the highly successful steamboat, the Clermont, with romantic intensity. Depictions of significant people and events in the collection date to and even beyond the tragedy of September 11, 2001. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue aim to uncover the riches of the NewYork Historical Society's collection, spanning six centuries and developments in the American national identity, celebrating both art drawn in New York and art drawn by New York artists. The exhibition at the New-York Historical Society and the publication of the catalogue and its research were generously supported by the Getty Foundation, Leonard L. and Ellen Milberg, Barbara and Richard Debs, Pam and Scott Schafler, Eli Wilner & Company, Inc., The Samuel H. Kress Foundation, Furthermore: a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund, Alexander Acevedo, and Graham Arader. Patricia Phagan The Philip and Lynn Straus Curator of Prints and Drawings An Ode to the Hudson An Outdoor Concert with Pete Seeger On Saturday, October 10, American icon Pete Seeger performed a selection of inspiring songs complementing the exhibition Drawn by New York on the Vassar College Chapel Lawn. A regular on 1940 radio music shows, he played and sang with The Weavers in the 1950s, the song "Goodnight, Irene" being their most popular hit. A prolific songwriter, he wrote or co-wrote some of the most memorable songs associated with the 1960s, including "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" and "If I Had a Hammer." Seeger continues to inspire generations of Americans with his songs and messages of social awareness and responsibility. In 1969, he founded Clearwater, an environmental and educational organization that built a replica of one of the types of ships that sailed the Hudson River in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Through programs and classes aboard ship, Clearwater and Seeger have become leaders in the environmental movement to restore the Hudson to "clear water once more." Seeger was joined by local musicians and student performers for a full afternoon of music and celebration. The concert was co-produced by the Art Center and Campus Activities. Pete Seeger 4 Art at Vassar Fall 2009 Fantastic Apparitions Albrecht D�rer: Impressions of the Renaissance November 14 � December 24, 2009 UPcomiNG eXhiBitioNS With keen curiosity and limited education, Albrecht D�rer interacted with leading humanists and scholars of the northern Renaissance, an exciting period when the spread of resurrected texts and classical art sparked a fashionable cultural revolution in his native Nuremberg. Their discussions and friendships inform many of his prints, which became monuments in the history of printmaking. The ideas D�rer confronted in his prints stem in part from his conversations with these scholars and their knowledge of ancient and contemporary literature made available in first and newly published editions. For instance, he often discussed intellectual issues with his dearest friend Willibald Pirckheimer, a Nuremberg scholar and translator who studied at the Universities of Padua and Pavia. Pirckheimer amassed a private library of classical texts and was at the center of the elite humanist circle in Nuremberg. As a result of these stimulating conversations, references to classical and humanist texts abound in D�rer's work. For instance, knowledge of the tale of Prodicus, as told by Xenophon, emerges in his engraving, Hercules at the Crossroads, where the future hero must decide his road in life, whether to follow the difficult path of virtue or venture down the more convenient one of pleasure. D�rer's design in this print melded story with knowledge of contemporary Italian art, especially engravings by Mantegna, such as his Battle of the Sea Gods. On the other hand, knowledge of contemporary Florentine humanist sources, such as the writings of Poliziano, can be seen in the artist's Nemesis, or "The Large Fortune." Here a formidable, severe goddess with "whirring wings" walking and "floating in empty air" oversees the destiny of a valley and village far below. D�rer's fantastic rendering of Nemesis clings to the words of Poliziano's poem. Revived classical sources and the rise of humanism attracted D�rer and propelled his prints of classical gods and goddesses, sea monsters, and satyrs, as well as his portraits of scholars. At the same time, interest in new theological writings stimulated the artist and his contemporaries and propelled their prints of Saint Jerome, biblical figures, Satan, and Death. Indeed, there was much scholarly activity at the time on St. Jerome, by Desiderius Erasmus and by D�rer's neighbor and friend, Lazarus Spengler, among others. The exhibition is organized by The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and includes thirty-five prints from the permanent collection as well as a few loans, including contemporary books from Special Collections in the Vassar College Library. Included are numerous works from the Art Center's Felix M. Warburg Collection of Old Master prints. Subjects range from portraits by D�rer of classical scholars Pirckheimer, Erasmus, and Philip Melanchthon to prints with biblical and allegorical themes, including D�rer's Adam and Eve, St. Jerome in his Study, and Melencolia I. Engravings by his German contemporaries, such as Martin Schongauer, Georg Pencz, Heinrich Aldegrever, Hans Sebald Beham, and Albrecht Altdorfer are presented, as well as are prints by Italian contemporaries, including Marcantonio Raimondi.

Warburg and her children 1941.1.30 Fall 2009 Art at Vassar 5 UPcomiNG eXhiBitioNS Art in the Making Harry Roseman: Hole in the Wall January 29 � June 20, 2010 Harry Roseman (American, b. 1945) A study for forthcoming Hole in the Wall installation, 2009 Acrylic paint on photographic Giclee print Courtesy of the artist Harry Roseman (American, b. 1945) A study for forthcoming Hole in the Wall installation, 2009 Acrylic paint on photographic Giclee print Courtesy of the artist Harry Roseman, the current chair of Vassar's Art Department and professor of sculpture and drawing at the College since 1981, has been creating compelling art work in various media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography, for nearly three decades. Roseman is a talented artist and professor who has gained a great deal of recognition for the diversity and the high caliber of his work. In addition to his studio work, he has been commissioned to create major works of public art, one of which is in the New York Subway at Wall Street and another is situated in New York's John F. Kennedy Airport in the International Terminal. In July 2008, Roseman created a site-specific installation entitled Woven Walls at the Kleinert Art Center in Woodstock, New York, which serves as the inspiration for a new work he will create at The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center over winter break. The Art Center has commissioned the artist to create a site-specific installation directly on a 30 x 14 foot wall in the atrium gallery, the bright, airy space that is the entryway to the main galleries. High overhead is a large round window that serves as the inspiration for the title of the exhibition. Roseman will create a painted drawing across the entire wall in response to the unique architecture and scale as well as other features particular to this space. Like Woven Walls, Roseman's installation at Vassar will consist of a monochromatic drawing in acrylic or latex paint, applied directly to the walls. The making of the wall drawing is an intuitively driven, fluid process with details falling into place in response to the space. The towering walls of the atrium gallery, the verticality of the space, and other architectural elements will be incorporated into the 6 Art at Vassar Fall 2009 new installation. The artist intends to accentuate the height and airiness of the space by addressing issues of gravity and the elongating effect of the long and narrow proportions. The resulting work will alter the viewer's experience of the space and the nature of the Art Center's atrium gallery, breathing new life into this now sixteen year-old building. Roseman will work with composer Adrienne Elisha on a collaborative component of the installation, which will result in a live musical performance. Elisha is fascinated by the inherent possibilities of visual images and their translation into musical form, color, timber, and sonic imagery. Visual art has been a strong influence on her work and at times she has made abstract drawings as a preparatory step in structuring new work. The two artists, who have similar working styles, will work together and maintain a dialogue throughout the entire process, continually responding to one another's work. The performance will be part of the seventh annual Modfest, a two-week campus-wide festival featuring music, dance, poetry, and visual art. In Concert Mark your calendar for these two musical events presented in conjuntion with Hole in the Wall: Friday, January 29, 2010 Beginning at 5:30 pm there will be a brief lecture by the artist and a screening of a film showing the making of his Woven Walls installation, followed by a public concert premiering the new work by composer Adrienne Elisha in the atrium gallery. Thursday, February 4, 2010 Harry Roseman: Hole in the Wall is the inaugural exhibition in a new program, which provides artists a laboratory-like environment to create new work on site. The program takes full advantage of the Art Center's distinctive architecture and reflects our commitment to featuring contemporary art in the context of Vassar's world-class collection. The commission is a continuation of the strong tradition of many successful programs that involve Vassar College bringing living artists to campus to create original works of art on the premises. The campus has hosted remarkable and memorable site-specific artwork in its rich history-- from Tree Dance, the famous 1971 performance in which Gordon Matta Clark created a performance in a tree inspired by spring fertility rituals, to the 1997 installation of one of Sol Lewitt's wall drawings, which was executed by studio art majors in the twentieth-century galleries. One of the goals of this project is to offer a new perspective on the museum environment as a place not only where art is exhibited, but also where new art is produced. Mary-Kay Lombino The Emily Hargroves Fisher 1957 and Richard B. Fisher Curator During Late Night, composer Adrienne Elisha will perform newly commissioned work in the atrium gallery as part of Modfest. Late Night at the Lehman Loeb is generously supported by the Jane W. Nuhn Charitable Trust. Calling All Poets In conjunction with the ninth annual modfest, an annual campus-wide celebration of music, dance, poetry of the past one hundred years, the Art Center is calling all poets to submit their original poems about works of art in the twentieth century galleries. Submissions will be reviewed and the selected poems will be posted on labels alongside the work of art that inspired them throughout Modfest. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, December 1st. For more information, visit the Art Center website or call 845-437-7745. Fall 2009 Art at Vassar 7 c U r Ato r ' S c h o i c e A Painter to be Watched In an interview earlier this year, Thomas Nozkowski remarked about his painting process, "I believe that what I'm doing is actually very close to our normal way of looking at and thinking about the world. We slowly build up a whole web of associations and meanings." One could say of Nozkowski's long-lasting career as a painter, that he has slowly built up a web of meaning along with a growing appreciation for his work. While Thomas Nozkowski has never been a household name, he has from the beginning, achieved critical acclaim for his contribution to the field of abstract painting and he has earned a reputation as a talented, sophisticated, and innovative artist. His first solo museum exhibition organized by Jack Cowart at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1997 was positively reviewed in several publications including The Washington Post and The New Criterion where his work was compared to that of William Baziotes and Willem de Kooning. In 1998, Casimir Nozkowski (who is now a maker of films, websites, and videos including a few Youtube videos of his father) graduated from Vassar, and the artist and his wife Joyce Robins donated Untitled (6-96) to the collection in honor of their son. This painting, a fine example of his idiosyncratic world of flat, geomorphic shapes applied onto canvasboard, shows evidence of the artist's painstaking process of layering paint only to scrape, sand, and wash down the surface and reveal what lies below. Freely floating against an indeterminate umber background his unique abstract forms in mustard and orange look like primitive silhouettes from another world. A delicately wavy, white line encircles these shapes, which seem to huddle together in the lower right corner. Since Vassar acquired this painting, many have commented on Nozkowski's singular take on abstraction, his steadfast commitment to a particular format, and his ability to surprise his audience again and again. Ken Johnson, writing for The New York Times described his compositions as "often comically awkward". He goes on to say that, "Surrealist, constructivist, Abstract Expressionist, and Pop influences are evident in pictures that seem by turns loopy, geopmetric, gestural, or cartoonlike." An artist who never repeats himself but is known for his consistency, Nozkoski has uniformly (and perhaps rebelliously) stuck by his horizontal format and small scale of sixteen by twenty inches regardless of stylistic fashions that have come and gone. The choice to make works in this small scale also confirms his clear relationship to modern design including domestic items such as furniture and ceramics, perhaps a sensibility that lingers from the 1970s when he was primarily making sculpture. Today, Nozkowski's paintings are still full of vibrant and original forms that are rich with emotion and delight. Nozkowski's paintings have been shown in over 300 museum and gallery exhibitions worldwide, including 65 solo shows. Lately, his career has been experiencing a renaissance as renewed attention is being paid to the enormous influence he has had on other artists. In June 2007 ten works were featured in the much talked-about Think with the Senses, Feel with the Mind � Art in the Present Tense, Robert Storr's exhibition at the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Earlier that summer, Thomas Nozkowski: Subject to Change opened at the Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, Germany. Thomas Nozkowski: Paintings, a survey from 1979 through 2003, was organized by the Fisher Landau Center in New York in Spring 2008. Untitled (6-96) was recently included in a survey exhibition of the artist's work at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Thomas Nozkowski, from June 26th through September 20, 2009. The exhibition, organized by Marc Mayer, included sixty paintings produced over the past twenty years gathered from public and private collections across North America for the largest exhibition of Nozkowski's work to date. The catalogue includes essays by Mayer and Robert Storr and is the first major monographic publication on the artist. Mary-Kay Lombino The Emily Hargroves Fisher 1957 and Richard B. Fisher Curator Thomas Nozkowski (American, 1944 - ) Untitled (6-96), 1990 Oil on canvas board, 16 x 20 inches Gift of Thomas Nozkowski and Joyce Robins, in honor of Casimir Nozkowski, class of 1998. 1998.4 8 Art at Vassar Fall 2009 Connections The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center and the Vassar College community are pleased to welcome Diane Butler as the new Andrew W. Mellon Coordinator of Academic Programs. This new position at the Art Center was made possible through a $1.2 million challenge grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The goal of this new position is to broaden and strengthen collaborations between Vassar faculty and the Art Center. In this role, Dr. Butler will work with faculty members to support the college curriculum with works of art in the permanent collection. Dr. Butler is well-suited for this new position. Most recently, Dr. Butler was a Visiting Assistant Professor of Africana Studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. At Cornell, she taught Introduction to African Art, African Cinema, and Africa Through European Eyes. During her time at Cornell, both as a faculty member and as a graduate student, Dr. Butler worked closely with the Johnson Museum of Art. Dr. Butler curated several exhibitions, including Politics in Print, The Renaissance Body, and Virtue, Vice and Vanitas. Dr. Butler also catalogued the African Art collection at the Johnson and worked with her students on an upcoming interactive display of that collection. Dr. Butler has also served as Curator at the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York from 2002 to 2006. There she curated a diverse set of exhibitions including, Iraq 2003: the Fault Lines, An Eye for the Baroque: Highlights from the Collection of Arnold and Seena Davis, Lighting Up the Night Sky: Dutch Celebrations with Fireworks, and The Topical Thomas Nast: Race, Rum, Catholics, and Corruption. Butler received her Bachelor of Music from Bowling Green State University in 1982, her Teacher Certification from University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh in 1991, her Master of Professional Studies in African and African American Studies from Cornell in 1997, her Master of Arts in the History of Art and Archaeology from Cornell in 2001 and her Doctor of Philosophy the History of Art and Archaeology from Cornell in 2004. Her dissertation was entitled, Of Bodies and Borders: Images of Africans on Early Modern Maps and is being considered for publication. Butler writes, "These varied positions have enabled me to enact a core belief that analytical engagement with original works of art can not only be inspirational, but utterly transformative, especially in the context of a liberal arts education." Cathy Klimaszewski, Ames Associate Director for Programs and Curator of Education at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell, said of her former colleague, "Diane is a gifted teacher. She has had experience working with people of all ages, and she really shines with college students. A consummate scholar, she has a rare ability to capture the big ideas and help the students find connections that make them personal, relevant, and memorable." oN cAmPUS Diana Butler Sights and Sounds On Wednesdays at noon this past April, visitors to the Art Center were provided with a live soundtrack to accompany their visit. A new series, Notes on Art: Noontime Concerts at the Art Center, was developed in collaboration with the Music Department to celebrate the arts at Vassar and provide a musical interlude in the middle of the week for the community. Students took a break from their studies and staff members escaped their desks to listen to the works of Mozart, Brahms, Ravel, Gershwin and other composers performed by talented Vassar students. Gathering in the twentieth century galleries, listeners could enjoy these weekly performances while considering the work of Pollock, Rothko, and other luminaries from the permanent collection. The series will continue on Tuesdays at noon in April 2010. Fall 2009 Art at Vassar 9 Photograph by Gabe Schuster SeeiNG ANd LeArNiNG Lessons from Springside Local is a popular word these days. People are eating local, buying local, and acting local. Local is not so much a noun or geographic description, but more a verb: to be local is to have an awareness and commitment to the area where you live. This is not some new hipster trend. The United States was founded on community and a commitment to `the local'. The Art Center has recently put on exhibition three `local' paintings by nineteenth century landscape artist Henry Gritten. The three canvases, promised gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Evans, Jr. (Tania Goss, Vassar College class of 1959) and conserved with the support of an anonymous donor and Anne P. Strain of Poughkeepsie, depict three views of Matthew Vassar's summer residence, Springside. These paintings are local in a geographic sense because Springside was situated in Poughkeepsie off of what is now Route 9. Beneath a blue-sky sheep graze, cows are led down a dirt path, and a farmer and his young daughter walk to their home framed by autumn trees. The paintings offer the twenty-first century viewer a bucolic vision of mid-nineteenth century life in the Hudson Valley. Ms. Evans writes, "When I learned about the Gritten paintings coming up at auction, I felt that Vassar simply had to own them not only because they depicted Matthew Vassar's property but more importantly because in their na�ve way they gave historic and beautiful insight into mid nineteenth century life along the Hudson River Valley. It is no surprise that our first American painting movement originated from that area and produced some of our greatest treasures." Our modern understanding of `the local' is also rooted in these paintings. In 1850, Matthew Vassar purchased property in Poughkeepsie as a possible site for a new rural cemetery. With stunning views of the Hudson River, the purchase recognized the national trend to situate cemeteries in idyllic natural settings. However, when there was no response to Mr. Vassar's solicitations to the public to purchase plots, he decided to use the property instead for his summer residence. Mr. Vassar commissioned Andrew Jackson Downing to design his country retreat. At this time, Andrew Jackson Downing was a household name. Born in Newburgh, New York in 1815, Downing set out, in his words, to "contribute something to the improvement of the domestic architecture and the rural taste of the country". By the age of twentyseven, Downing had not only improved but defined American taste. Downing did this by writing two influential books: A Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening Adapted to North America (1841) and Cottage Residences (1842). Inspired by Romantic literature, particularly the work of Goethe, Downing believed in the transformative and fulfilling properties of the Beautiful. Downing did not consider the experience of the Beautiful the privilege of the wealthy. Downing instead advocated that every American deserved and would benefit from a comfortable and well-designed home. Now referred to as `the cult of domesticity', authors like Downing and Catherine Beecher, believed that reform of the world should begin in the home. Downing wrote as a well-informed and practical friend. His inspiring essays in Cottage Residences are accompanied with detailed plans for several different homes ranging in style and affordability. His designs and advice also took into consideration the location of the home. A home in the south should look different than a house in the northeast; a home should reflect the place where it is built. His guidance was well - received. Americans had previously relied on English texts intended for the gentry. Suddenly there was a kind, intelligent American writing clearly Henry Gritten (English, 1818-1873) Springside: Scenic Paths and Gatehouse, 1852 Oil on canvas Promised gift of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas M. Evans, Jr. (Tania Goss, class of 1959) 10 Art at Vassar Fall 2009 about living in America. Downing's books were reprinted several times and Downing appeared as a regular columnist in the popular periodical, The Horticulturalist. When Downing died tragically in a boat racing accident in July 1852, the New York Tribune lamented there was "none whom the country could so little afford to lose, or whose service to the community could so little be replaced." His untimely death makes the design of Springside all the more significant. Although Downing inspired the design of American homes, this was the only major domestic commission in his short life. The Gritten paintings are essential to demonstrating how Downing's ideals were put into practice. The viewer notices the overall synthesis of the architecture and landscape design. Springside does not look like it was designed: Springside looks like it emerged. This effect is achieved by painting the structures in the colors recommended in Cottage Residences. The pale yellows capture the light and blend with the surrounding trees. The structures are built with wood and the siding is installed vertically. Downing argued that if trees grew vertically, lumber should be used vertically. Matthew Vassar welcomed the public to visit his Springside estate after it was completed. The Poughkeepsie Eagle declared in July 1852, "Surely, Paradise could scarcely have been lovelier." Many Poughkeepsie residents enjoyed visiting the grounds and its fame became so great that a song, "Springside Mazurka" was written by Charles Grube. In 1864, Vassar moved permanently to Springside and asked the public that he may be allowed "a quiet retirement". After Vassar's death in 1868, the property changed hands several times and was finally declared a National Historic Landmark in 1969. The Springside Landscape Restoration group continues to work to preserve Springside and the property is once again open to the public. If we take our definition of `local' from the model of Downing, then we would understand the term to mean a keen awareness, consideration and appreciation of place. If we include the model of Matthew Vassar, we expand the definition to include a commitment and contribution to the needs of the community. In keeping with these ideals, the Art Center is pleased to share these paintings with the Poughkeepsie community. There has already been a teacher workshop, in partnership with Dutchess County BOCES and Marist College, where area educators learned about and discussed how they could incorporate these paintings into their curriculum. We are in the process of developing an interactive website where visitors can delve further into the significance and history of Springside. More than views of pleasant pastures, these paintings serve as important reminders of the place and ideals upon which this institution was founded. Nicole M.

Fall 2009 Art at Vassar 11 m e m B e r S h i P m At t e r S The Importance of Membership Being a member of The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center is being part of a special community of art lovers. As a member, you can take pride in watching your contributions manifest themselves into programs, exhibitions and acquisitions. As the membership program continues to grow, so do the opportunities to go "behind the velvet ropes". In June, members were treated to a rare gift � a studio visit with renowned contemporary artist, Don Nice. His home and studio are set among the beautiful Hudson River Valley in Garrison, New York, with views of Storm King Mountain and West Point � Beauty surrounds him. When we walked up the narrow staircase to his third floor studio, we saw that he is an artist who lives among his work. Members where completely in awe as the pages came to life with beautiful watercolors of blues, greens and browns. Just when we thought we couldn't be shown any more, the roll of toilet paper came out! With sheets in-hand, Nice created clouds, mountains and fiords. Members were impressed how Nice not only talked about his passion for painting, but his passion for teaching. He emphasized the importance of teaching young artists that the quality of your tools matter. Use the good paper, save for the best brushes. These are not items to take for granted. There is an artistry found in their manufacturing. This year brings spectacular exhibitions to the Art Center with great opportunities for members to join in events in the Hudson Valley and beyond. New destinations will be introduced, taking us to institutions that have works from our permanent collection on loan. Allowing us to see, and hear, how the jewels of our collection shine with those of other institutions. Now more than ever, membership is vital to the success of the Art Center as well as the art world we hold dear. Whether you've been a member for 30 years or several, I am proud to call myself part of this incredibly dedicated group. Jennifer E. Cole Coordinator of Membership, Special Events & Volunteer Services Members look on as Don Nice discusses his work. 2009 Membership Membership contributions are vitally important in advancing art education and outreach programs for the community, the development of exhibitions, and the acquisition of works for the collection.

Interior yearnings to move are usually suppressed (or stopped by a security guard). This past July, members of the 2009 Powerhouse Apprentice program crawled, jostled, shimmied, flitted, and tumbled through the twentieth-century galleries as part of the "soundpainted ballet" Dances at an Exhibition. The apprentices responded to 750 gestures, based on a sign language created in the 1970s by Walter Thompson, from director and conductor Mark Lindberg. The one-hour performances captivated museum visitors who were impressed by the frenetic energy of the apprentices. At the command of Lindberg, performers responded to his gestures and transformed the gallery space. Late Night at the Lehman Loeb is made possible by the generous support of the Jane W.

AU Details 1803 'Extra Star' Eagle, BD-51803 $10 Large Reverse Stars, Extra Star--Altered Surface--NGC. AU Details. Breen-6845, Taraszka-30, BD-5, High R.4. This is the famous "Star on Cloud" variety, of which Bass-Dannreuther wrote:
"Bass owned two examples of this scarce and popular variety. The curious 14th star seems to have been discovered by Harry Bass. Although the die combination was previously known, no one had noticed the tiny star atop the cloud below (O)F. Bass saw this on an example he purchased in 1966."
Bass-Dannreuther estimate that from 90 to 110 examples exist today of this variety in all grades. The present piece still appears to bear much original luster, although the fields on both sides, the obverse more prominently, have been expertly smoothed. A deep gash runs through ED, the wing, and ST on the reverse. Despite the caveats, much appeal is present on this large and important early type coin.

PETALING JAYA: SEA Games-bound shuttler Iskandar Zulkarnian Zainuddin easily cleared the men's singles first round at the Macau Open GP Gold tournament on Tuesday.
Iskandar took just 15 minutes to dispose of Trinidad and Tobago's Nicholas Bonkowsky, winning 21-6, 21-7.
He will take on compatriot Ikmal Hussai Jaafar, who received a walkover following eighth seed Indian Anand Pawar's pull-out, in the second round.
Zulfadli Zulkiffli, the 2011 world junior champion, also reached the second round after scoring an upset win over 13th seed Suppanyu Avihingsanon of Thailand.
Zulfadli won 21-14, 8-21, 21-11 and will face homester Wan Wai Chi next.
The biggest upset of the day was recorded by Son Wan-ho. The South Korean stunned top seed Kenichi Tago of Japan with an emphatic 21-11, 21-14 win.
In the men's doubles qualifying rounds, Chooi Kah Ming-Teo Ee Yi, who made the Malaysian International Challenge final earlier this month, toiled for a place in the main draw.
They first defeated Thailand's Watchara Buranakuea-Vasin Nilyoke 19-21, 21-13, 21-12. A few hours later, they overcame Hong Kong's Ho Wai Lun-Law Cheuk Him 17-21, 21-9, 21-9.
Kah Ming-Ee Yi will take on China's Chen Zhuofu-Kai Lu in the first round.

Basic Starting a mod.
1. Down load all 6 Files in order as recomended on the top page posted by Maias227 on the summary page. DL all 6 first and keep them in order. Install the game as recomended except skip the text parts. Make sure the game runs correctly.
2. Open the 1.01 text update file. If you didn't change the name of from DL is should be named text and in a zip file. Open it up into your Teutonic/Data file and it will prompt you with the replace file. Just click yes to all. Make sure that this is the Teutonic file that you have just modded.
3. Open the next text file and it should be named text 1.02 and repeat the same process as before once again hitting replace all.
Start up the game and you should have english on most of the game. Some units and army desc are still in russian but its more then enough to play and have fun with.
anyone knows when will 1.03 come out?...
what 6 files?
I still don't understand how you fully install this game... :(

Money Down the Drain: CRS Report Details U.S. Expenses on Iraq
After referring to Iraq as one of America's costliest wars, observers of the decade-plus long engagement can now put some hard numbers on their critiques. The Congressional Research Service recently released the most detailed and accurate numbers yet on total U.S. spending in Iraq. The report came just weeks before Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham captured Mosul and other key cities. President Obama said on Friday that he will not deploy ground troops in Iraq but the data likely provides war critics fresh ammunition to question what the spending accomplished.
The report puts total projected U.S. spending in Iraq from 2003 to 2014 at $57,184,400,000. Here's a year-by-year breakdown:
The Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund and the Pentagon each received more than $20 to bolster the Iraqi Army and Iraqi security forces. Here's the agency breakdown of total spending:
Obama essentially acknowledged on Friday that the money was not well spent. Iraq's security forces "have proven unable to defend a number of cities, which has allowed the terrorists to overrun a part of Iraq's territory, and this poses a danger to Iraq and its people," he said. According to some reports, Iraq's 800,000-strong security force put up little fight against ISIS. Here's a year-by-year breakdown of U.S. spending on those forces:

Letter: Try a little 'Vitamin G' and get new outlook
Glenn Hall, Henderson
In light of FOX America's red-state overreaction to Obama's re-election I have been contemplating marketing a new product for right-wing America. It's "Vitamin G."
Anyone who knows me knows my love of gravy. My day is not complete without a dose of my own special Vitamin G — gravy. Put it on your buttermilk biscuits or morning oatmeal, makes no difference.
It's good for what ails you and my new gravy vitamin will be fortified with political "guts," little bits of James Carville Cajun Gumbo and a "liberal" sprinkling of magic reality dust thrown in for good measure. Try it you'll like it.
Right-wingers never cease to amaze me with their illogical way of thinking and irrational reactions to reality. For all the sore losers who have requested secession from America I say, "Good riddance." It's comical to watch the governors of these right-wing states (Texas, Alabama, etc.) backtrack on their radical statements about Obama.
You know the fact is most of "the takers" in our country live in the conservative red states. They are the real food-stamp states. They receive so much more in government benefits than they pay in taxes.
The hypocrisy of FOX and right-winger rhetoric is off the charts, but it doesn't stop them from whining ad nauseam. Have they learned nothing since the election? I doubt it.
Most of them are so brainwashed with Rush propaganda they still think climate change, the killing of bin Laden and the election results are hoaxes. They can't be taken seriously. These are the tea-party types that make up FOX News and right-wing talk-radio's demographic.
If the government could just individually accept the secession of these people, including Orly Taitz and Donald Trump, and deport them to a right-wing country of their choice, then allow hardworking, honorable immigrants to take their place we would quickly find that many of our governments' problems would be solved. I'm all for that.
Who's with me? Viva la Vitamin G! It will give you a whole new liberating and liberal outlook on the world.

Inflation drops to 2.4%, lowest in 31 months
UK consumers can heave a sigh of relief as inflation fell to a 31-month low, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropping from 2.8% to 2.4%, and the Retail Price Index (RPI) falling from 3.1% to 2.8%, owing to a big drop in commodity and oil prices.
June saw a sharp drop in commodity and oil prices leading to the smallest rise in fuel prices since October 2009, while bringing down the headline inflation rate. Significant contribution to the fall came from clothing and footwear, which was twice as large as the second largest fall in month-on-month inflation since the CPI was launched in 1996.
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said, "Apart from their direct impact on the inflation rate, lower petrol prices also reduce the cost of transporting goods around so that should also have helped to limit inflation. It is also likely that annual food price inflation fell in June."
Inflation has fallen from 5.2% last September due to the waning impact of the VAT hike at the start of 2011, falling energy, food and commodity prices and a number of bill cuts from utility providers in February.
It may be noted that the economy entered into a technical recession in the first quarter of the year, with gross domestic product declining 0.2%, following a 0.3% drop in the final quarter of 2011. The weaker growth has started to weigh on prices as retailers sacrifice profit margins in a bid to draw in cash-strapped consumers.
Azad Zangana, European Economist at Schroders warned that the easing may be temporary in nature as the Office for National Statistics has had problems in reporting price information when retailers offer discounted sales.

Italy's borrowing costs fall despite Moody's downgrade
Just hours after Moody's cut Italy's credit ratings to two notches, just above the junk status, Italian markets bounced back as its three-year borrowing costs fell well below 5% at a bond-yield auction. The Italian bond market recovered some ground as Italy managed to sell €5.25 billion (£4.13 billion) in medium and long-term bonds, its top targeted amount, fetching the lowest yield since May on a new three-year issue.

Enjoy this mellow non-dairy dip with whole grain pita bread. The chives give it just a bit of a kick.
Line a colander with a couple of paper towels. Place tofu on paper towels and drain while preparing the other ingredients.
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Gently press tofu with paper towels to remove as much remaining water as possible; break tofu into chunks. Place tofu and onion mixture in the bowl of a food processor and process until almost smooth. Add miso and tahini and continue to process until smooth. If desired, add a little lemon juice to taste. Stir in chives.

Lewis Hamilton Q&A: On Jerez, the first week with Mercs, and improving the W04
New recruit happy and content with life at Mercedes so far...
By Sky Sports Online
Last Updated: 08/02/13 5:30pm
How is the car progressing?
Lewis Hamilton: "The guys are working in the wind tunnel every day and we have a package that we will have for the first race which is probably being signed off right now. So whatever we find over the coming weeks perhaps won't be in there for the first race but it will definitely be there for the races after.
"But we're not starting in a bad place, which is definitely a big improvement for them [compared to 2012]."
So what's your feeling as you leave Jerez?
LH: "I feel like we have a good platform, a good foundation to work on. I'm just going to keep on asking for downforce and hope the guys keep on doing a great job back at the factory."
Performance from the W04 looks like it comes easily...
LH: "I wouldn't say it comes easily. We're just able to get the tyres working on the first lap, which they struggled to do last year, but obviously it's quite warm and the track temperature is quite high.
"But it's not a bad place for us to start. We definitely need to work and understand the car more. There's a huge amount of work for me to fully understand - I need to do a lot of studying before I fully understand the car before the season."
Sebastian Vettel said it was no major issue for you that you lost track time. Do you agree with that?
LH: "I feel like the mileage...of course it would count, because by the time we get to the end someone's on five thousand kilometres or whatever it is and we would have done four - or something like that.
"But we're catching up. Nico did 150 laps [on Thursday] so he really already caught half a day back up there as people were doing 80 laps or something like that. We're probably not going to get to 150 laps today because Nico had already done close to 100 by now [lunchtime] but we'll still try and get as much time in as possible."
Do you feel at home in the car yet?
LH: "I've only done 59 laps but every lap that I drive it, I'm learning, every change that I make I'm learning, every time they refer to some set-up change I'm learning. But it's going to take some time."
Any idea of where you are in the pecking order yet?
LH: "I've asked the guys to try and predict it, but they don't know. We don't know what fuel loads people are on so it's just a guess."
What did you make of Vettel's 1:18.5 time on the hard tyres?
LH: "I don't know how the hards behave but over the last couple of days people seem to be getting a decent time out of the hards. The Red Bull is always quick so it's not a surprise. It doesn't impress me at all."
Are you where you expected to be after the first test?
LH: "I think we're at the level we're comfortable with so we couldn't really ask for more. The guys have done a great job to add downforce to the car and understand where they're going to take the car in the direction that we really want it to go. And now they need the direction: they need me and Nico to tell them where they can improve the car and which direction to go. Is it the front we need to improve or is it the rear end? Is it globally, is it corner entry, this kind of thing? So that's what we're working on."
How's the first week with Mercedes gone?
LH: "It's fantastic. The team are incredibly supportive and they all want to do right by me. They're caring and when I had the issue the other day they were really concerned and they don't even know me that well! So already building a bond with them and they are working flat out, which is good to see. They're energised, they're ready, they're fit. I think some of the guys train on the track, I've been seeing the engineers and the mechanics training in the evening, so great motivation in the team."
What's the plan for Barcelona?
LH: "I think in the next test we'll continue to work on set-up, particularly to understand the characteristics of the aerodynamics. The guys are just trying to get as much information as possible. As for me, I'm just listening to the car. Just trying to figure out what I need to improve."

The Inappropriate Thesaurus
Dehydration: The Real Killer Behind Chronic Obesity
People think fatty proteins simply congeal in the arteries causing clogs. This is not entirely untrue, but the real concern with heart-disease is healthy cardiac cells.
Your circulatory system can handle a good deal of clogs and blockages, so long as its cells are supplied with an appropriate amount of energy, water and nutrients. You've probably noticed the reported links between obesity and cancer rates. A chronically obese lifestyle simply leads to unhealthy cells. Why? Not enough resources per-cell.
They say you should drink eight glasses of water per day. We don't actually know if that's true, but we know the correct number isn't zero glasses. It could be ten, but for the sake comfortably making my point, let's be conservative and say an adult of healthy body mass needs six glasses a day in order to keep all his cells adequately hydrated to the point where he will live a natural full life-expectancy. (You can get water other ways such as veggies, but the average American diet has way more incidentals which dehydrate rather than hydrate.)
The BMI chart say a 5'10" male should weigh 150 lbs. He needs six glasses of water per day, otherwise he'll have health problems earlier in life than is naturally expected. That's 48 oz, or two ounces less than a Double Gulp from 7-11. Not an unmanageable amount of water, but think about how often you only had two or three glasses of water during days where soda, coffee, beer and wine made up the rest of your fluids.
Now imagine you weigh 300 pounds. You have roughly double the amount of cells as a healthy person. And all those cells need hydration and nourishment. Are you drinking 100 oz. of water each day? You better be! Because there are only so many times your cells can die and replace themselves with perfect copies, without their basic needs being met.
For a well hydrated person, you are looking at about 80 - 85 years before you start getting cancer and heart-attacks naturally. When I say naturally, I mean, the DNA in your cells have these things called telomeres. Think of telomeres as the little plastic tips on the end of your shoelaces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aglet) which keep them from fraying.
Whenever a normal, undamaged cell in your body dies of natural causes (roughly once every seven years), the cell reproduces itself, The young cell is a copy, and then -- seven years later -- a copy of a copy. Every time it reproduces, it is exactly the same except the telomere is shorter. Once it starts to fray like a shoe-lace, you get liver-spots, skin-tags, heart-attacks, cancer... all sorts of originally unintended things.
If cells don't get the stuff they need -- oxygen, water and nutrients (nutrients are another thing the obese simply can't get enough of) -- we are literally starving our cells. By taking in too many proteins and sugars (which generate new cells) and not enough energy-sustaining phyto-nutrients (which keeps existing cells healthy) it's creating starvation at the cellular level.
Not unlike a fallen empire of history -- if your organs' infrastructural constituents are not strong and sustained over a long period of time, the entire thing crumbles from the inside out.
So lets say all our cells can reproduce about twelve times, before the noise of nature overcomes their structure. That's 84 years.
Now let's say that the cells of an obese person's organs are getting half of what they need -- and we'll grant the 26 year buffer during which all lifestyle damage is virtually reversible due to the Wolverine-like regenerative capabilities of youth. All other things being equal, they can expect 68 years of life, based on an initial (perhaps generous) 84 years of presumed natural life.
There's a reason there aren't many bariatric geriatrics, and that's because a chronically obese human enters their "natural" old-age much earlier.
This is not to say that we chronic 300-pounders (which this author is one) can necessarily compensate for our extra cells by simply knocking back two double-gulps per day. We don't know that the kidneys can re-insert enough of that fluid back into the blood stream for a sustained a period of time, especially without being artificially aged in their own right.
Best thing to do... well... you don't want to hear it, and neither do I.
The Emperor's New Clothes
As a married man living in the United States circa 2015, I couldn't possibly ask for for a better life, and I couldn't readily deserve a life half this good. There remain strands of that old psychic tether to the ludicrous superstition that most people eventually get what they deserve. When the relentlessly high quality of my life begins to elicit fits of bitter paranoia, it's clearly time to begin giving something back to the world which has been so nurturing and gratifying that virtually all of my life's suffering has emanated from within.
Phillip Gibbs on The Gallow's Humor of Soldiers Coping with WWI
"It was astonishing how loudly one laughed at tales of gruesome things, of war's brutality -- I, with the rest of them. I think at the bottom of it was a sense of the ironical contrast between the normal ways of civilian life, and this hark back to the caveman code. It made all of our old philosophy of life monstrously ridiculous. It played the hat trick with the gentility of modern manners -- men who had been brought up to christian virtues, who had prattled their little prayers at their mothers' knees, who had grown up to love poetry, painting, music, the gentle arts, over-sensitized to the subtleties of half-tones, delicate scales of emotion, fastidious in their sense of words, in their sense of beauty, found themselves compelled to live and act like ape-men. And it was abominably funny. They laughed at the most frightful episodes, which revealed this contrast between civilized ethics and the old beast law, the more revolting it was, the more sometimes they shouted with laughter, especially in reminiscence, when the tale was told at the gilded salon of the french chateau, or at the mess table. It was the laughter of mortals at the trick which had been played on them by an ironical fate. They had been taught to believe that the whole object of life was to reach out to beauty and love. And that mankind in its progress to perfection had killed the beast instinct: cruelty, blood-lust, the primitive, savage laws of survival by tooth and claw and club and axe. All poetry, all art, all religion had preached this gospel and this promise. Now that ideal had broken like a china vase, dashed to hard ground. The contrast between that and this was devastating." -Phillip GibbsRecited by Dan Carlin on his podcast Hardcore History.
