“Everglades: America’s Wetland” is on view in the Balcony Gallery through July 5, and Stone’s book

can be purchased inthe Appleton Store.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MAC STONE . APRIL 7-JULY 5, 2015

Everglades: America's Wetland contains 40 framed photographs by Mac Stone, an award-winning conservation photographer and naturalist from Gainesville, Florida, who recently published a book by the same title.

Growing up exploring the springs, swamps and hammocks of north central Florida, Stone developed a passion for photography at a young age. Currently, when he is not photographing the bottomlands and backwoods of the Southeastern U.S., Stone is a product tester for Columbia Sportswear, a Google Trekker and official photographer for Savage Race. He is a fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, the Executive Director of Naturaland Trust and winner of the Save Our Seas Foundation Marine Conservation Photography Grant.

As a biologist for the National Audubon Society, Stone traveled to the most remote areas of the Everglades. With his camera, he explored Everglades National Park, Corkscrew Swamp, Fisheating Creek and dozens of sites that few are permitted to visit. Images from his treks have appeared in countless domestic and international publications including National Geographic, Audubon Magazine and National Parks Magazine.

This exhibition opened April 7, which is Everglades Day in honor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ birthday. To celebrate, the Appleton hosted a lecture and book signing with the artist in coordination with On Top of the World’s Master the Possibilities program.

Prints by Frank Stella features 14 dynamic, colorful prints from the artist, known mostly for his work in the areas of minimalism and post-painterly abstraction.

Though originally a painter, Stella began his extended engagement with printmaking in the mid-1960s, working

first with master printer Kenneth Tyler at Gemini G.E.L. He used lithography, screenprinting, intaglio and relief printing, often combining them in complex mixed medium prints, regularly named after paintings exploring similar themes. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, Stella created a large body of work that responded in a general way to Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, several of which are included in this exhibition.

This exhibition is on loan from the Wiregrass Museum of Art in Dothan, Alabama and will be on view in the Balcony Gallery July 11 to September 6.

Summer exhibition

Now open to the public, Beyond Reality: The Many Worlds of James H. Vredevoogd features 35 paintings by artist James H. Vredevoogd. His paintings are influenced by the surreal, with recurring imagery like bowler hats, ravens and cheeseburgers. The show opened to the public April 10 with a reception hosted by the museum’s young members group, The Studio.

An American artist whose career reflects much of the sea-change that occurred in Western art over the past century, he began his career as a painter over thirty years ago. Early on, he took a job teaching art at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and joined the wild ride that must have been the early years of Performance Art, a form of art that abandoned all traditional art-making materials in favor of highly conceptual staged actions or performances. As a witness to the heyday of this new type of art,

Vredevoogd taught decades of Edinbo-roart students to open their minds to the power of the artistic concept. He taught “Time/Space Workshops” and gave assignments based on activities such as eating pie and cake in unison for an audience and spilling water on a slight decline to trace the line it made, to name a few.

Following his retirement, the artist returned to painting and amassed a body of work that can be seen in this exhibition, marking the artist’s first retrospective. As an accompaniment, the museum has published a full-color catalogue that can be purchased in the Appleton Store.

This exhibition presents works from the Arthur Primas Collection, a significant collection of African-American Art that includes paintings, sculptures, works on paper, graphics and documents. These artists, many under the extreme pressure of an unresponsive public, brought forth magnificent art which reflects the African-American experience and aesthetic.

Represented in the exhibition are Charles Alston, Richmond Barthe and Aaron Douglas, who were prominent during the Harlem Renaissance. As well as Romare Bearden, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, John Biggers, Elizabeth Catlett, Hughie Lee-Smith, Bob Thompson, Richard Mayhew and Bennie Andrews, carrying on the legacy.

The exhibition was organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with the Heritage Gallery, Los Angeles, CA. Exhibition tour management by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA.

In conjunction with the exhibition Lesley Dill: Faith & the Devil, we offered a series of events and lectures to help our audiences better understand the recurring themes found in Dill’s work.

On Friday, January 23, Rene Morales from the Pérez Art Museum Miami discussed the basis and origins of concrete poetry, which is in direct relation to the structure of Dill’s large-scale installation. Morales gave an illustrated talk on works from the The Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry and afterwards, guests stayed to celebrate the opening of Faith & the Devil.

From January 28-30, we were pleased to host the artist herself, who provided invaluable insight and knowledge to our guests, members, docents and staff. Dill had an intimate session with our docents, giving them the history of how Faith & the Devil was conceptually

developed, as well as how it was physically constructed by herself and a team of interns. Dill also gave an evening presentation, discussing Faith & the Devil, but also other projects that were significant to the evolution of her work. Following her presentation, Dr. Scott Olsen from the College of Central Florida joined her on stage to share their personal experiences with faith and belief, two themes that pervade the exhibition.

We were also fortunate to have Lesley Dill, along with her friend and colleague Laura Oxendine, give a presentation to a group of College of Central Florida students about the ongoing creation of an animated video of Faith & the Devil.

In February, Richard Brantley, University of Florida professor Emeritus, gave an illustrated talk entitled Emily Dickinson’s Quarrel with God, exploring the themes found in the work of both Lesley Dill and Emily Dickinson.

The Studio, the Appleton’s young members group, has been busier than ever in 2015! In late February, the group took a trip to the Harn Museum of Art in Gainesville for a docent-led tour of the museum’s permanent collection and special exhibitions. The highlight of the visit was the Monet and American Impressionism show featuring 25 artists who led both the American and French Impressionist movements. In March, The Studio met for a ceramics painting workshop with artist Meagan Chaney Gumpert and drew inspiration from the museum’s exhibition of Indian miniature paintings.

How long have you each worked at the Appleton Museum of Art?

Dodie: I completed docent training in 2002 and at the request of the museum educator, put together a trip for the docents, thus the “Icon Trip” was born 13 years ago. This trip has been a favorite and repeated many times.Bonnie: I have been on staff at the Appleton for five years.

What led you to your careers at the Appleton?

Dodie: Art and travel have been passions all of my life and the docent training led me to this wonderful retirement job. Bonnie: I was in the cosmetic industry for 25 years as a national trainer for a major company. I traveled the United States conducting educational seminars. In 2009, I was working part time when a friend suggested that I apply for the position in Trips

N’ Tours.

It has been a wonderful, educational and fulfilling experience. Our loyal travelers make Trips N’ Tours and we do so appreciate them.

What has been your favorite Trips N’ Tours destination and why?

Dodie: The last one! Each trip has a special element and our guests are the best, so every trip is a favorite.

Bonnie: I loved Provence of course, and always enjoy visiting my favorite pieces at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, but the trip that exceeded expectations to me was our adventure to Arkansas to visit The Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. We and our wonderful travelers could not stop talking about the museum and the art – the whole experience.

What is your favorite piece of art in the museum and why?

Dodie: Going to a Hearing by Thomas Couture; he is known for his historical pieces and as the teacher of Edouard Monet. This appeals to me as it is a typical French Village, full of motion and intensity and with a comedic touch as the chicken imitates the flare of the judges court robes as he hurries to court. Bonnie: I must admit that I have two favorites that are hanging in the museum: When Love is Young by Vitorio Matteo Corcos and Avenue du Bois de Boulogne by Georges Stein. I am an emotional art lover and both depict beauty, fashion and romance to me.

What is something people would be surprised to know about you?

Dodie: I was born in Shanghai, China to an Irish mother and Chinese father on April 1. My father, not wanting his child to be born on “the day of the fools,” had the doctor change my date of birth to March 31. Thus, I celebrate my birthday on both days.Bonnie: That I married my husband twice and friends at Revlon used to call me Bonnie Janssen Janssen.

The Appleton’s Trips N’ Tours group is planning another grand adventure! This time, they’ll travel cross-country to New Mexico for the “Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta,” and spend three nights in beautiful Santa Fe. Before viewing an evening ascension of hot-air balloons, guests will visit the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, dedicated to the worldwide history, science and art of all types of ballooning and lighter-than-air flight.

Following the two-night stay in Albuquerque, guests will move on to the colorful and exuberant city of Santa Fe.

The schedule is full with a trip to the Loretto Chapel, built in 1878 and home to the “Miraculous Staircase,” followed by a tour of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the only museum in the United States dedicated to an internationally known female artist. From Santa Fe, guests will take a day trip to the artistic city of Taos to visit the R.C. Gorman Gallery, Millicent Rogers Museum and Taos Pueblo, an ancient pueblo belonging to a Tewa-speaking Native American tribe of Puebloan people.

For more information, contact Dodie Jerz or Bonnie Janssen, 352-291-4456.
