Someare striking yet familiar: the shadow of flying geese on downtown highrises, bunnies and birds in cornerlots and parks, mushrooms and dandelions along laneways and sidewalks.The works in the exhibit have a gentle touch and unassuming appearance. Many are playful and evenwhimsical. The wild horses that once pastured in today’s suburbs are captured on a Grecian-style urn,and a set of tall skinny buildings are topped with fir trees.

V I G N E T T E S • April/May 2013AlbertaROBIN LAuRENCEMADE IN CALGARY: THE 1960S Glenbow Museum, Calgary, Feb 23-Apr 28 This exhibition is the first of a year-long series examiningthe character and evolution of Calgary’s art community from1960 to 2000. Guest-curator Mary-Beth LaViolette revisits adecade of social and cultural change, when the city almost doubledin size and artists embraced traditional art forms in new,vibrant and occasionally controversial ways. Media representedinclude printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, painting and textiles,with artists ranging from Marion Nicoll and Janet Mitchell toJohn Hall and Greg Arnold. Look, too, for work by FirstNations artists Gerald Tailfeathers and Alex Janvier.DAVID JANZEN: TRANSFER STATION Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton,Mar 9-Jun 16 Janzen’s series of landscape paintings posesheaps of broken furniture and rows of junked appliances againstmisty and mountainous vistas suggestive of the Romantic sublime.Basing his imagery on his photographs and sketches hemade of landfill sites across Alberta, the artist beguiles us withthe beauty of his technique while confronting us with evidenceof the impact we are having on our natural environment.BARBARA TIPTON Alberta Craft Council Gallery, Edmonton, Apr 6-Jul 2 This Calgary-based ceramic artist pushes the sculptural andmaterial boundaries of her medium. Working with the basicforms of the cup and saucer, she experiments with slab-built andhands-free, wheel-thrown techniques, rapidly improvisingshapes in wet clay, and later building up layers of glaze to createunexpected colours and textures. “I’m constantly on the lookout,”the artist writes, “for something that seems to ring true asan expression, a sidelong glance, a dim remembrance.”OSCAR CAHÉN: CANADA’S GROUNDBREAKING ILLUSTRATOR WhyteMuseum of the Canadian Rockies, Banff, Apr 6-Jun 2 Oscar Cahén isone of Canada’s leading mid-20th century abstractionists and amember of Toronto’s avant-garde group of artists, Painters Eleven.This exhibition, however, examines his extraordinarily accomplishedillustrations, produced between 1931 and 1954. The brillianceof this work is underscored by the turbulent circumstances ofCahén’s tragically short life. Born and trained in Europe, he fledNazi persecution, only to land as an “enemy alien” in an internmentcamp in Canada. Released in 1942, he lived in Montreal andthen in Toronto, and was just hitting his stride as an artist when hewas killed in a car accident in 1956 at the age of 40.MARIE LANNOO Newzones, Calgary, May 11-Jun 29 ThisSaskatchewan-based artist builds up many translucent layers ofbrilliantly coloured paint to create abstractions whose surfacesshift and shimmer, reflecting light and mirroring the viewer.Suggestions of human presence float above the seemingly liquiddepths of Lannoo’s work, challenging our perceptions of light,colour, and dimensionality and confounding our understandingof the relationship between abstraction and representation.Exhibition photoDavid JanzenBarbara TiptonOscar CahenMarie Lannoowww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11

www.reed.edu/galleryFirst Hand: Civil War Era Drawingsfrom the Becker Collection, Boston CollegeDOUGLAS F. COOLEY MEMORIAL ART GALLERY, REED COLLEGE, PORTLAND OR – Feb 5-Apr 20,2013 The American artist Joseph Becker (1841-1910) and his colleagues worked as artist-reporters duringthe Civil War. The dramaticscenes captured by Beckerand his colleagues in thisnationally traveling exhibitunearth a rare historicalvantage point on significantevents that were shaping ayoung country in search ofnational identity. First Handcontains more than 140drawings from the BeckerCollection, most of whichnever made it to the publicationstage and were onlyrecently uncovered byBecker’s heirs. The BeckerCollection at Boston Collegecontains over 600 previously undocumented and unexhibited drawings.Unknown Artist, Sketches at the General Hospital in Richmond, Virginia (April 1865), graphite ontoned paper [Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland OR, Feb 5-Apr 20]Initially these works were created for Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper where Becker began workingas an errand boy before his natural artistic talent was encouraged, and he was dispatched to accompanythe Union Army and send back drawings of his observations.Known as “Special Artists,” these 19th-century war correspondents completed their drawings in thefield and were responsible for capturing battles, movements of troops, military architecture and otherdaily activities at a time when photography was too young a technology to serve this purpose. Their informationalrenderings were soon after sent back for publication where they were transformed into woodengravings, then cast as metal plates that could be printed.The images in First Hand extend beyond the Civil War era when Special Artists were assigned westwardto document the expansion of the nation. Becker journeyed across the Great Plains recording thelandscape and also traveled across the Rockies on the first Pullman train. Some other highlights of thisinsightful collection include subjects of railroad expansion, Chicago in the wake of the Great Fire andChinese immigrant culture in San Francisco.

wwww.eskerfoundation.comSplendid IsolationESKER FOUNDATION, CALGARY AB – Jan 19-Apr 21, 2013 The Esker Foundation’s third exhibit, SplendidIsolation, is an immense showcase of photographs taken over 30 years by four Alberta photographers:Olga Chagaoutdinova, Miruna Dragan, Orest Semchishen and George Webber. It features more than140 prints shot in different locations between 1976 and 2013, from the prairies of Canada to the UnitedStates, Mexico, Cuba and Russia. The images range in size from a row of small photos to mural-sizedimages covering entire walls.With unifying themes of home, privacy and daily life, the photographs afford glimpses of “an emptysadness” in pictures that are simple yet timelessand memorable. Webber and Semchishen use aclassic documentary style to capture portraits ofthe prairie in all its splendour and isolation. Webberhas been photographing the people and landscapeof the Canadian west for over thirty years.Chagaoutdinova’s work examines domesticityand globalization in several countries, includingCuba and Russia, while Dragan’s images reflectthemes of dispersion and transcendence.Despite profound differences in era, many ofthe prints share striking similarities in tone andexecution. The solitude and beauty of countrylife, unassuming domestic rooms and settings,abandoned buildings and ruins are frozen intime. In the words of artistic director NaomiOrest Semchishen, Fabyon, Alberta (1978), detail, black and whitephotograph [Esker Foundation, Calgary AB, Jan 19-Apr 21]Potter, Splendid Isolation offers “an intense look at the politics of landscape, history and isolation.”Free public programming for the exhibit includes several artist talks, workshops and a panel discussion,with guided tours of the exhibit every Friday noon.

V I G N E T T E S • April/May 2013British ColumbiaROBIN LAuRENCEPAUL WONG: YEAR OF GIF Surrey Urban Screen, Surrey, Jan 23-Apr 28 New video work by one of Canada’s most acclaimedmedia artists draws from his personal archive of smart phoneGIFs created during the past year. Images are presented in amontage against a ground of shifting colour, and includes everythingthat caught Wong’s eye. Patterns, textures, colours,friends, architecture, scenes of travel, digital displays, fruit, flowers,animals, satellite dishes, art, politicians and celebrities – allflicker by as if in a digital flip book. Projected on the west wall ofthe Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, the Surrey Urban Screen iscurated by the Surrey Art Gallery.FIONA HOWARTH: BONEYARD Fort Gallery, Langley, Mar 27-Apr 14Defunct and discarded signs, once brilliantly lit on the Las Vegasstrip and now consigned to a junkyard at the edge of the Nevadadesert, are the subject of Howarth’s solo show. Her recurringthemes of time, memory and loss are well realized in images ofbroken bulbs, peeling paint and fading invitations to gambling andfree parking. “My interest,” she writes, “lies in the aesthetics ofdecay and the interplay between light, form, texture and colour.”INVOKING VENUS: FEATHERS AND FASHION Beaty BiodiversityMuseum, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Feb 7-May 5Photographer Catherine Stewart has focused her camera on birdspecimens located at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum and accessoriesfrom the clothing collections of Claus Jahnke and IvanSayers. Her gorgeous, close-up images of avian plumage andvintage fabrics highlight colour, pattern and texture, and arecomplemented by displays of feathery hats, purses, fans andshoes. Courtship behaviours and the attractions of adornment inboth birds and humans are richly highlighted.LYLE WILSON: PAINT Bill Reid Gallery, Vancouver, Mar 27-Sep 15Haisla artist Lyle Wilson is renowned for his wood sculpture,gold and silver jewellery, printmaking, drawing and painting onwood or paper. Organized by the Maple Ridge Art Gallery andon view for the first time in Vancouver, this show focuses exclusivelyon his paintings; the subjects include crest animals likewhales and ravens to maps of Aboriginal territories to hybridalphabets. All explore the signs and symbols of evolving visual andverbal languages and their relationship to indigenous culture.ANDY WOOLDRIDGE Winchester Galleries, Victoria, Apr 9-27Titled Chiaroscuro: Variations on a Theme, Wooldridge’s newseries of paintings combine flat passages of rich colour with contrastingeffects of glowing white and deep black. Whetherdepicting the natural or built environment, he treats his canvas“as a stage set with simplified shapes and forms deliberatelyplaced to produce an artificial landscape.” The peaceful yet highlycharged images are reminiscent of the Italian Metaphysicalschool in their suggestion of an alternative reality.Paul Wong [detail]Fiona HowarthCatherine Stewart [detail]Lyle WilsonAndy Wooldridge22 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2013

Vignettes • April/May 2013British ColumbiaROBIN LAuRENCEMATERIALLY SPEAKING Richmond Art Gallery, Richmond, Apr 14-Jun 9 Traditional craft meets postmodern sculpture in this visually,materially and conceptually captivating exhibition. The fourartists represented – Jen Aitken, Lou Lynn, Brendan Lee SatishTang, and Julie York – employ everything from bronze, glass andporcelain to paper, vinyl and fake fur. The allusions behind theirdiverse and inventive practices range across antique tools, futuristicrobotics, the politics of the body and the nature of perception.GERMAINE KOH: WEATHER SYSTEMS Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops,Apr 6-Jun 15 The concept-driven art of this internationallyacclaimed Vancouver-based artist alerts its audiences to everydayactions, objects, materials and processes – aspects of our livesthat we might otherwise overlook. The movement of the windand the tides, the light of the sun, the social and economic uses ofcommunication devices, the clothes we wear and our quotidianmovements through time and space, have all caught Koh’s interestand informed her art. This exhibition presents new work andalso brings together, for the first time, her three-part series, Fairweatherforces.SLAVS AND TATARS Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver,Apr 12-May 26 Friendship of Nations: Polish Shi’ite Showbiz is thefirst Canadian showing of the artist collective, Slavs and Tatars.Based in Paris, Warsaw, New York and Moscow and working in arange of media, these artists examine the vast area known asEurasia, east of the (now defunct) Berlin Wall and west of the(still standing) Great Wall of China.

Her dual education and her fondnessfor vintage graphic styles are revealed in the spooky, halfwaylife her postwar subjects exude.HIGH FIRE CULTURE Satellite Gallery, Vancouver May 24-Jul 6 Thesubject of this intriguing show is the studio pottery movement asit manifested itself on Canada’s West Coast during the 1960s and70s. A raft of local potters, including Lari Robson, Sam Kwan andHiro Urakami, were powerfully influenced by the aesthetic sensibilitiesand Zen philosophy espoused by British potter BernardLeach and his Japanese colleague Shoji Hamada. Curated byNora Vaillant and Shelly Rosenblum, the exhibition demonstratesthe “intensity, spirit and style” that identifies these pottersas members of a tremendously influential pottery movement.Andrea HoogeLari Robson, Sam Kwan, Hiro Urakamiwww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 23

Conservator’s CornerIron In Paper: Problems and Current Solutions – Part 2BY REBECCA PAVITTFINE ART CONSERVATION, www.fineartconserve.comMost of the conservation research regarding treatment options for Fe(II) catalyzed oxidative damage,sometimes displayed as discoloration and foxing in paper is focused on stabilizing iron gall inks in archivalcollections. As a conservator, my aim is to apply the findings of this research to address problems posed byiron contaminants that may be scattered throughout the paper sheet and develop an effective cleaning andstain reduction system whether the paper contains iron or not.Treatment steps in such systems might include the following. Some modification may be necessary toprotect sensitive media or paper surfaces, and in some cases treatment is not possible. (Keep in mind thatFe(II) ions are catalytic and water soluble; Fe(III) ions are insoluble.)Water treatment: Uses solutions where the conductivity is tailored to optimize soil removal. This treatmentremoves soluble discoloration and some catalytic Fe(II) ions as Fe(II) is water soluble. (See Wolbers’World: a Workshop Review in the September 2012 issue).Reduction: Reducing agents or bleaches like sodium dithionite and sodium borohydride reduce overalldiscoloration and stains and convert some insoluble Fe(III) to water soluble Fe(II).Chelation: Chelators are weak organic acids that can sequester metal ions and remove intractable soils thatsurfactants and water alone can’t budge. Citric acid and EDTA are two chelators sometimes used in paperconservation that reduce overall discoloration andstains and sequester some amount of Fe(II) andFe(III).Citric acid has less binding power thanEDTA, which can be an advantage when treatingitems with vulnerable colours. The stronger bindingpowers of EDTA are useful, but can be hazardousto the media. Rinsing well after chelationis essential as any residual EDTA allows it to joincatalytic Fe(II) and hydrogen peroxide in thesame molecule a combination likely to trigger thedreaded Fenton Reaction: in a few weeks orSome of the chemicals used to remove or inactivate iron in paper months, the previously cleaned paper can becomeheavily spotted and discoloured.Phytic acid may provide a better option than EDTA as phytic acid does not bind with hydrogen peroxide;any phytate-Fe residues that might be left in the paper after treatment are so efficiently bound thatthey remain chemically inactive. Because phytic acid is only slightly weaker than EDTA, media vulnerabilityis a consideration.Oxidative bleaches: The above treatments may eliminate or minimize the need for oxidative bleaches.Gentle light bleaching may be sufficient and chemical bleaches can be applied in rigid gels for very targetedtreatments.Alkaline reserve: Raising the pH of the treated paper to the 8-8.5 range binds a proportion of any residualFe(II) into insoluble hydroxides preventing further catalytic activity. Alkaline reserves also protectagainst future acid hydrolysis, which causes yellowing.Antioxidants: More research is required, but antioxidants will likely be used in the future to prevent metal-catalyzedoxidative damage.Resizing with gelatin: Creates a protective barrier between the paper and the outside environment to slowdown the absorption of airborne pollutants like peroxides and buffer changes in Relative Humidity (RH).Environmental controls: High humidity promotes chemical reactions, including iron catalyzed oxidation.RH-conditioned sealed framing and storage systems are protective. Moderate temperatures also reducechemical reactions.This summary of treatment options for paper conservation is intended for the general public. Chemicalconcentrations, modifications and pH ranges for their safe use have not been included.NEXT ISSUE: Disney Artist’s Legacy Lives On32 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2013

Theexhibit draws fromthe Morris andHelen Belkin collectionand seeks toexamine relationshipsbetween masculinityand malesexuality.Including photographs,paintings,drawings, sculptureNoam Gonick, No Safe Words (2009), 12-channel video [Satellite Gallery, Vancouver BC, Apr 12-May 11]and video, the selectionspans 50 yearsof art making anddraws on many perspectivesand modes of representation. While the phallus is central to many works, others more formallyaddress themes of male power and ways in which images of masculinity are regulated. From a postcardsizedphoto of a man’s groin by American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe to Joyce Weiland’s OCanada lithograph, and from Michael Morris’ stylized and emblematic phallus to a gouache on newspaperimage by Jack Shadbolt, the artists variously explore public and private manifestations of sexualityand maleness.Full Frontal is made possible with support from the Michael O'Brian Family Foundation, the KillyFoundation and the Audain Endowment for Curatorial Studies through the Department of Art History,Visual Art and Theory in collaboration with the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery at The Universityof British Columbia, and Satellite Gallery.

www.kurbatoffgallery.comYared NigussuKURBATOFF GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 9-23, 2013 Yared Nigussu, known as “Yared N”, is anEthiopian-born portrait artist now based in Vancouver.Yared N began showing his work in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia in 2005 after graduating from the AddisAbaba University School of Fine Arts and Design.He had numerous exhibitions in France from 2006to 2009. More recently he has done artist residenciesin Vienna and Millstättersee, Austria and at RawCanvas Art+Social, Vancouver, where his paintingswere shown in 2010 and 2011.During travels in Canada, France and Austria,Yared N was impressed by the density and complexityof contemporary urban buildings. Many of hisstreet scenes have exaggerated linear perspectivewith infinite vanishing points to dramatize the architectureand emphasize fast movement through space.The paint appears to be applied with palette knivesor square-tipped brush strokes, resulting in texturesthat are blocky, linear and cut by thin vertical andhorizontal lines. The effect is one of speed and shatteredvision. Several paintings in the Kurbatoffexhibit depict familiar settings around Vancouver,from Yaletown and West Broadway to Davie Street.Yared N has also become known for performanceart pieces and his participation in art battles.He uses music to set the pace and tone of theYared Nigussu, Yaletown (2013), oil on canvas [KurbatoffGallery, Vancouver BC, May 9-23]works, which often feature large-scale faces.

This is his first major Canadian exhibition;curated by Katharine Lochnan and organized by theArt Gallery of Ontario, this show originally premiered atthe AGO in February 2011.Although Blackwood left Newfoundland as a teenagerto study at the Ontario College of Art, his imagerythroughout the years has been steadfast. The peoples ofhis early life in Wesleyville where he was born arerevealed forever in a heroic and luminescent struggle –together as a community – against the ocean and the cold.David Blackwood, Fire Down on the Labrador (1980),etching and aquatint on wove paper [Art Gallery ofGreater Victoria, Victoria BC, May 3-Sep 8]Combining master printmaking skills and a remarkabletalent for storytelling, David Blackwood’s work is apoignant and spellbinding glimpse into a mystical timepast.

With themes of war, revolution and migrant conditions, the Arab, Iranian and Turkishartists in Safar/Voyage depict everyday realities and the politics of living in their respective regions.The curator, Fereshteh Daftari,describes the work as delving into “themultifaceted ideas of voyage, rangingfrom border crossing, war, migration,and exile to philosophical positionsregarding life itself as a voyage.” He seesthe exhibition as an opportunity to challengewhat are often simplified and misrepresentedideas about burning issuesof global concern.

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 36. The Case of Fritz StehwienI first became aware of the paintings of German-Canadian artist Fritz Stehwien (1914-2008) whena friend of mine purchased the River in Winter at an auction several years ago. She later confessedshe didn’t know anything about the artist or his work, but liked the painting very much,especially its traditional mode of composition, use of colour and subject matter.I did some research on her behalf and became familiar with Fritz Stehwien. Trained at theHansische Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg, Germany, he served as a soldier inFrance and Russia from 1939 to 1946. He resumed his studies after the war, taking advancedclasses at the Kunstschule Burg Giebichenstein in Halle and participating in art shows inDresden, Berlin and Halle. In 1958 he and his family escaped from Communist-ruled EastGermany and settled in Doffingen, West Germany, and in 1968 they immigrated to Canadaand settled in Saskatchewan. Thedate on this painting is also 1968and may have been one of the veryfirst paintings Stehwien completedin Canada.During the course of his 40-yearpainting career in Canada, Stehwienpainted mostly views of Saskatchewanand had many exhibitions includingone at the University of Saskatchewanin Saskatoon.Stylistically, his work is typicalof the works associated with theGroup of Seven and their contemporaries.So why have Stehwien’sworks not shown up at fine artFritz Stehwien, River in Winter (1968), oil on canvasauctions?Are views of the landscape ofNorthern Ontario more representative of authentic Canadian painting than landscape viewsof Saskatchewan? It would appear that Stehwien’s works conform to the national ideal of whata Canadian landscape painting should look like, yet his works have not appeared in the Canadianfine art auction market.As most frequent attendees of Canadian fine art auctions held by the major art houses inVancouver and Toronto will no doubt attest to, by far the large majority of artworks for saleare by a select group of well-known Canadian artists who have a prior history of sales at auction.The membership has remained substantially unchanged over the last 50 years andincludes members of the Group of Seven and their contemporaries.Only recently have Canadian fine art auction houses included more contemporary Canadianartists such as members of Painters Eleven, the Regina Five, Les Plasticiens and Les Automatistes,all well documented and academically sanctioned within the art history community as representativeof the best in period Canadian art. One would suspect the reason for this anomaly ispartly due to the shortage of traditional investment-quality work and also a desire on the part ofauction houses to create another market. People like my friend who purchased Stehwien’s paintingbecause the artwork reminded her of the long winters of her youth seem to be unique.Next Issue: The Case of Resale RoyaltiesBY JIM FINLAYFINLAY FINE ARTwww.FinlayFineArt.com52 PREVIEW ■ APRIL/MAY 2013

On a formal level theyact as a kind of ready-made brushstroke, its shape andcolour predetermined. On a conceptual level they canexpress a huge range of associations and emotions, fromthe dull voyeurism of discarded shopping lists to thecuriosity of obsolete machines.”Found objects, or “junk” as she calls it, are the basis ofthis collage and installation exhibition. Cat creates“homes” for these lost pieces (rusting bike chains, brokenbowls, disused beehives and broken fountains) foundabandoned in fields and along roadsides, with papers andglazes, “searching for a balance between the beauty of theobject and the stories it can tell.”Cat is a multi-disciplinary practitioner; she is a professionalstoryteller, blogger, filmmaker and a visual artist.Graduating with a BA in History in Art from theUniversity of Victoria in 2005, she also studied at the GulfMadisonColumbiaCherryJamesTO PROGRAPHICAFRYEART MUSEUMIsland Film and Television School in 2006, and is currentlycompleting the Independent Studio Program at the Cat Thom, Bird Woman Likes to Travel (2013), collage onVancouver Island School of Art.

www.marylhurst.edu/arts-and-events/art-gym/index.htmlJulie Green: The Last SupperTHE ART GYM, MARYLHURST OR – Apr 16-May 17, 2013 Julie Green became interested in the finalmeal requests of inmates on death row during her years living in Oklahoma where she would readabout it in the morning paper. Oklahoma is the statewith the highest per capita death rate. The Corvallis,Oregon-based artist and professor began her LastSupper project over 10 years ago as a reflection oncapital punishment and how these final meals humanizeeach individual inmate.The ongoing project illustrates these personalmeal requests for pizza, ice cream, donuts and CherryCoke to justice, equality, and world peace with imagesand words painted in cobalt tones on second-handdishes. Green uses mineral paints that are kiln fired tothe dinnerware by her technical advisor Toni Acock.The large installation of 500 plates is haunting in itssimple truism. For Green these requests provide clueson race, economic background, region and family history– like when the Indiana Department of Correctionsstated about one inmate, “He told us he neverhad a birthday cake so we ordered a birthday cake forhim.”In Green’s work the irony of this final choicebecomes a poignant meditation on the strange traditionof last meal requests, pointing to larger questionsabout the margin of error, the morality of capital punishment,and why, in some states, it has been abolishedfor years, where states like Texas still have high deathrates. She plans to continue adding 50 plates a yearJulie Green, Indiana 05 May 2007 (2007), cobalt mineralpaint on kiln-fired ceramics [The Art Gym, Marylhurst OR,Apr 16-May 17]until capital punishment is outlawed.

V I G N E T T E S • April/May 2013OregonALLYN CANtORROLL HARDY: RECENT PAINTINGS Laura Russo Gallery, Portland, Apr4-27 Portland artist Roll Hardy paints the beauty of decay usingurban subjects of abandoned buildings, post-industrial sites andweathered street scenes to convey the inevitability of time upon culturaland economic undertakings. Mystery and possibility are evidentin the worn surfaces of architectural spaces and graffiti-ladencityscapes depicted in Hardy’s canvases. The places that Hardychooses to render have an archeological emptiness that point to theshortcomings inherent in industry and enterprise.FOLKERT DE JONG Portland Art Museum, Portland, Jan 5-Apr 21Dutch artist Folkert de Jong is internationally known for his largescalefigurative works and installations made from modern industrialmaterials like styrofoam and polyurethane. His macabre pieces telltales of human folly, wartime, political and economic calamitythrough forthcoming tableaux that are mildly humorous, somewhatgruesome and often uncomfortable. The two major sculptures andseries of drawings at the Portland Art Museum certainly achieve hisintention of having a visceral impact.KENNETH JOSEPHSON: IN RETROSPECT Charles A. Hartman Fine Art,Portland, Mar 20-Apr 27 Understanding the rhythm and behaviour oflight is central to photographic mastery. The work of KennethJosephson takes these formal considerations to another level, buildingconceptual images that are at once playful and serious, speakingto a fascination with both the internal and external worlds. Throughouthis 50-year career, the Chicago-based artist was at the forefrontof conceptual photography in the 1960s and 70s. This retrospectiveincludes stellar examples from this period of his career.JAMES B. THOMPSON: LINEAR METAPHYSICS: CONTEMPORARYMARK-MAKING AND TIME-BASED ART WORKS Hallie Ford Museum ofArt, Salem, Apr 13-May 13 Drawing on the intersection of art andarchaeology, James B. Thompson examines the history and pre-historyof mark-making as the original form of time-based media. Hisinterest in the ancient Celtic and Iron Age tribes of Scotland andBritain – people with a strong interrelationship to land, seas and cosmos– considers how these cultures remain only in fragments of thelandscape. Thompson’s layering of linear elements in ink and paintsuggest a similar stratification effect, paying homage to the passageof time.WE TELL OURSELVES STORIES IN ORDER TO LIVE Museum of ContemporaryCraft, Portland, Jan 24-Apr 27 Recipients of the prestigiousHallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts, these nine Oregon-basedartists demonstrate a cross-disciplinary approach to their art practice.They expand upon the conceptual, material and critical potential ofart, craft and design trajectories. The show title is derived from JoanDidion’s 1979 essay The White Album and Los Angeles guest curatorCassandra Coblentz utilizes this text as a theme from which to viewthe diversity among this regional artwork.Roll HardyFolkert de JongKenneth JosephsonJames B.

COLLECTION: THE EUGENE B ADKINS COLLECTION AT THE FRED JONES JR. MUSEUM OF ARThttp://fryemuseum.orgNicolai FechinFRYE ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE WA – Feb 9-May 19, 2013 This significant retrospective of NicolaiFechin’s artwork is the first hosted at the Frye Art Museum since 1976. The Russian-Americanpainter (1881-1955) is best known for his innovative portraiture and painting technique that blendsrealism with highly textural surfaces and an emotional handling of paint that well preceded AbstractExpressionist styles.Born in Kazan, Russia, Fechin studied early onwith popular Russian painter Ilya Repin, whose workemphasized the realistic values of northern Europeanmasters such as Rembrandt. By 1910 Fechin’s workwas internationally recognized, and he participatedin major exhibits in Europe and the United States.Due to the chaos and poor conditions of post-revolutionaryRussia, Fechin immigrated to New York in1923 where he spent several years working beforerelocating to Taos, New Mexico and later SouthernCalifornia.This major exhibit ranges from early works duringFechin’s emerging years in Russia to later piecesduring his time in Taos and California where hebecame increasingly interested in the landscape andthe native people of New Mexico.Nicolai Fechin, Portrait of My Father (1912), oil on canvas[Frye Art Museum, Seattle WA, Feb 9-May 19]With a strong emphasis on works created in Russia,this overview draws largely from the Frye’s holdingsfrom this seminal period of Fechin’s careerwhen some of his most evocative paintings came intofruition. Among the 55 pieces in the show, Fechin’s strength lies in vibrantly coloured portraits thatglow with personality, subjects that merge into the activated picture plane and figuration that emphasizesgesture, movement and vitality.

V I G N E T T E S • April/May 2013WashingtonALLYN CANtORFRANCISCO GOYA: THE COMPLETE LOS CAPRICHOS SERIES DavidsonGalleries, Seattle, Apr 5-27 This historic series of etchings, first publishedin 1799 by Francisco Goya, is a suite of 80 allegorical imagesthat depict dark caricatures of civilized society. Regarded as the mostimportant Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries,Goya’s fantastical vision was filled with metaphor and witty culturalcritique that was ahead of its time. Los Caprichos serves as a keystoneof modern art. Played out by supernatural creatures, Goya’s nightmarishscenes exposed the shortcomings of his Spanish society in anage of turmoil and revolution.SALLY CLEVELAND Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, Apr 4-27 Portlandnative Sally Cleveland paints scenes with a distinctive regional tone.Her renditions of landscapes, urban and suburban sites are realisticallydepicted with the moody Northwest feeling of a subduedpalette, tempered grey skies and thick atmosphere that undoubtablyplaces these humble subjects close to home. Cleveland’s pieces aresmall in scale, which adds to their seductive quality; her scenes are sofully realized within the intimately sized compositions that it’s easy toconnect with the simple moments of the particular places that Clevelandoffers in her paintings.CLARE BELFRAGE: THREADS Foster/White Gallery, Seattle, May 2-31 Inher new body of work, Australian glass artist Clare Belfrage referencesthe textile patterning of woven and sewn lines on elegant glass formsthat are delicate, luminous and seemingly weightless. An internationallyrecognized artist, Belfrage has been creating glass sculpture with areverence toward the natural environment that has an exceptional abilityto filter essential elements into a dynamic simplicity. Her newestpieces further demonstrate technical mastery as the artist rhythmicallyweaves string-like textures into the stillness of her glass forms.KENT LOVELACE: OCCITANIA Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle, Apr 4-29 Washington-basedartist Kent Lovelace draws inspiration from Occitania, anarea in Southern France once occupied by the Romans. Lovelace has anaffinity for painting landscapes that have been cultivated for centuries.Over the last 15 years his atmospheric scenes have been painted with oilglazes on metal plates – a technique that dates back to 15th-centuryEurope. Using a reflective copper surface, Lovelace creates eloquentlight-filled compositions with a moody contemplative tone.MANEKI NEKO: JAPAN’S BECKONING CATS – FROM TALISMAN TO POPICON Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue, Feb 22-Aug 4 Considered asymbol of good fortune in Japan, a cat figurine with an upraised pawin the gesture of beckoning has been around since the Edo period(1603-1868). The iconic “lucky charm” stems from popular legendof a cat credited with saving the life of a nobleman. Ranging fromsimple carved stone pieces to ornately decorated porcelain sculptures,this large collection of over 150 maneki neko includes piecesfrom the 19th and 20th centuries and is one of the most extensiveoutside Japan.Francisco GoyaSally ClevelandClare BelfrageKent Lovelacewww.preview-art.com PREVIEW 67

www.gregkucera.com/David Byrd | Introduction: A Life of ObservationGREG KUCERA GALLERY, SEATTLE, WA — April 4-May 18, 2013 Observation and experience are thefoundation of David Byrd's work and creative life. The 86-year old artist will be introducing his paintingsto the commercial art world in Introduction: A Life of Observation. The exhibition presents Byrd’smajor paintings, smaller studies, works on paper, and wood sculpture, drawing from the many richmemories of his life.For almost three decades, Byrd worked in the psychiatric ward at a veterans’ hospital. Some of hismost defining paintings stem from hiswork with patients who were damagedfrom the war and capture the distinctpersonalities and behaviours that he witnessed.Stylistically Byrd uses moody tonalhues coupled with spatial relationships tocapture scenes of figures and his memoriesof place. His paintings yield intelligentarrangements – having notable similaritiesto pieces by Andrew Wyeth,Edward Hopper, and Georges Seurat –while being rooted in the social realismand genre painting of the 1930s and ’40s,the era when Byrd came of age.Byrd studied art for a short time inDavid Byrd, Stillman’s Gym (1964), oil on canvas [Greg Kucera Gallery, SeattleWA, Apr 4-May 18] Courtesy of Greg Kucera GalleryPhiladelphia and New York after WorldWar II, after his time in the MerchantMarines and the U.S. Army.
