Andy Warhol said, “Once you ‘got’ pop, you could never see a sign the same way again. And once you thought pop, you could never see America the same way again.”

Warhol’s observation—as relevant today as when he wrote it in 1963—came as the worlds of advertising, film and media were ascendant in America, blurring the boundaries between reality and representation, commerce and culture. into this bold new world stepped artists, including Warhol, Wayne thiebaud, and roy lichtenstein, whose wry takes on familiar imagery and everyday objects are included in the traveling exhibition Shiny, Sticky, Smooth: Pop Art and the Senses (see page 5).

through the generous support of the Dupaco r.W. Hoefer Foundation and the Jordan Schnitzer Foundation, every second-grader in Dubuque Community and Holy Family Schools—more than 1,000 students from 13 schools— will have the opportunity to see and experience this remarkable exhibition. i hope you will, too.

As we look forward to spring, we can anticipate more opportunities, for all ages, to learn and engage with the arts. From spring

break workshops, to special events and adult programs highlighting diverse artists and filmmakers, the museum continues to grow as a center for building community through the arts.

this sense of community extends to many groups that visit and use the museum on a regular basis, including St. Mark Youth enrichment, whose before-school program, early risers, will bring students in grades K-5 to the museum this spring.

As always, your support is vital to our mission. One of the greatest gifts you can make is to our endowed fund. gifts to our endowment provide a crucial and stable source of operating support and have an impact beyond your lifetime. if you have already made a gift, thank you. And if you are considering one, i encourage you to act early in the new year to ensure the availability of endow iowa tax credits (see pg. 2).

See you at the museum.

When did begin volunteering at DuMA? i began volunteering over seven years ago. Since then, i have seen a consistent rise in the museum’s community involvement and am looking forward to helping to increase that even more.

What motivates you to volunteer? i enjoy any type of creative endeavor, from drawing and painting, to writing and fiber arts, such as knitting and weaving. i felt it would benefit my own creativity being surrounded by an artistic environment.

What do you enjoy most about volunteering? i am definitely a ‘people person’, and i love the opportunity to meet and talk with the visitors. Also, the staff and volunteers are like a family. that makes it so easy to be here.

experience the Mississippi river from the perspective of an artist who has painted it in every season since 1997. Concentrating on those biannual extremes of our Midwestern climate—the boiling humidity of summer and the deep freeze of winter—this collection of colorful and expressive acrylic riverscapes by Dubuque sculptor and painter John Anderson-Bricker features paintings created over a 20 year period.

Some of the earliest celebrated American artists from the Hudson river School were best known for the spiritual inspiration they found in the forests and mountains along the Hudson river in the northeastern United States. For Anderson-Bricker, finding inspiration along the Mississippi continues this tradition. His journey to visually explore the man-made versus the natural environments of the river during extreme seasonal cycles evolved to mirror his personal journey through unexpected physical setbacks and discovering his own resiliency to persist and adapt.

With his focus on river and climate, Anderson-Bricker visualizes the sensory experiences of extreme weather conditions along the local backwaters and banks of the mighty Mississippi. According to the artist, “the height of the summer and winter seasons forces [me] to convey an uncontrollable aspect of the natural world. Uncomfortable environmental conditions of heat, humidity, frigidity, and snow afford access to light, color, and textures

new exhibitions

of desiccation, vapor, reflected light, water, and ice. in fact, plants and animals express these extremes. While the hottest days of summer reveal the manic, overabundant fertility of the season, the ice of winter suggests the absence of living things.”

Anderson-Bricker earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Aquinas College in grand rapids, Michigan. He taught art in Syracuse, new York for six years before relocating with his wife Kristin to Dubuque in 1997, where he has been an adjunct instructor at loras College and on staff at the Dubuque Museum of Art.

Anderson-Bricker has exhibited at Art on the river, the DuMA Biennial, and the Carnegie-Stout public library in Dubuque. His paintings and sculptures can be found in many private and public collections, and he has been active in many local art projects with Dubuque public schools, local non-profits, and as a juror for the city’s Art on the river project. Anderson-Bricker is represented by Outside the lines Art gallery in Dubuque.

Mauricio lasansky (Argentina, 1914-2012) is best known for his complex, large-scale prints on which he applied a variety of printing techniques, using multiple plates and experimenting with an array of colors. Awarded numerous honorary degrees and awards over his lifetime, lasansky devoted much of his career to teaching at the University of iowa and to exploring the expressive possibilities of printmaking, contributing significantly to establishing it as a meaningful art form for the 20th century.

in 2015, Mr. and Mrs. Harold e. rayburn gifted six works by Maurico lasansky to DuMA. Mr. rayburn, who is a retired eastern iowa business executive and art collector, has a particular interest in iowa printmakers.

Significant donations from visionary collectors like the rayburns are the backbone of building a strong collection for present and future generations. We are grateful to all of our donors for entrusting part of their collecting legacy to DuMA.

the first step was to flatten the canvas distortions. next, the painting was lined to a new linen canvas. Finally, the painting was re-stretched. the surface cleaned to remove grime and old varnish. paint losses were filled. the damages were in-painted and the painting received a final varnish coating and was able to be placed back in its original frame.

Thank you to the multiple donors who helped us to raise the more than $1100 necessary to perform these treatments.

Contact Stacy peterson, associate curator and registrar, to make a contribution to future museum conservation projects.

FROM ThE COllECTiOnS OF JORDAn D. SChniTzER AnD hiS FAMily FOUnDATiOn

pop art is a multi-sensory experience. though the eye-catching nature of pop is perhaps its most well-known characteristic, this type of art tempts our vision as well as hearing, taste, touch, and smell.

Featuring several generations of pop artists, Shiny, Sticky, Smooth offers a fresh perspective on this formative method of artistic production. pop emerged from the booming consumer culture of post-war America and adapted not only the imagery of advertising but also its strategies. Combining bold colors and familiar subjects with carefully chosen materials, textures, and compositions, pop artists created a multi-sensory experience in their work.

in marked contrast to the austerity of the preceding war years, mid-century Americans were surrounded by a dizzying array of new products. Advertisements for the latest chromed, streamlined cars conveyed speed and power. Brightly colored, glistening candies sparked the appetite. polished furniture tempted the sense of touch and gleamed with the possibility of a more stylish home and lifestyle. the vivid depictions of these products sparked consumer desire by appealing to the senses. A generation of young artists—including pioneers such as Andy Warhol, roy lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg—gravitated toward the direct salesmanship of this commercial world and incorporated the same strategies into their fine art practices. Yet, the pop spirit was not confined to the 1950s and 60s. A later generation of artists such as Jeff Koons and Donald Sultan adapted these methods for a new chapter of American mass media.

By utilizing familiar subject matter and enticing the viewers’ sensations—vision, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—pop artists shattered the division between fine art and everyday life. As roy lichtenstein noted, pop art “doesn’t transform. it just plain forms.”
