Haudenosaunee: Elements is a special exhibition of new work by 12 contemporary Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) artists ranging from those with well established careers such as Peter B. Jones, Tom Huff, Ronni-Leigh and Stonehorse Goeman, and Tammy Tarbell, to a few new and notable talents. The work includes a broad range of media, styles and themes, both traditional and contemporary. In 2009, the Marshall M. Reisman Foundation donated two works to the Everson Museum by artist Tom Huff, including a stone sculpture entitled Shawl Dancer, ca. 1985. In his current work, Tom Huff, a scultpor and installation artist addresses social, political and cultural issues in contemporary Native American life. Huff will be creating new work for the exhibition. details.php 521 2010-05-26 Sat Nov 13 2010 00:00:00Sun Jan 16 2011 00:00:00One of America's pre-eminent painters, Jules Olitski (1922-2007) is celebrated for his large-format, lyrical abstractions that shimmer with color. Less well-known are his smaller, more intimate prints in a variety of media, which both parallel and depart from the abstract imagery of his paintings. Olitski began making prints in the mid-1950s. In these early works, he created series of related compositions by repeatedly adjusting his small intaglio plates. These rarely-exhibited chiaroscuro self-portraits and abstractions are virtually all unique impressions. By the 1960s and early 1970s, fields of nuanced color outweigh drawn elements in Olitski's lithographs and silkscreens, reflecting the tonal discoveries of his Color Field paintings. Expressive gestures reassert themselves in the sensuous, loopy shapes and wavy boundaries of his silkscreens from the 1980s. In the 1990s, Olitski began working with monotypes. He would passionately embrace this medium in his final years, completing his last print two weeks before his death. An Inside View includes several of these joyous celebrations of life that also serve as meditations on mortality. An Inside View includes 40 prints in a variety of media-intaglio, silkscreen, lithograph, and monotype-spanning the artist's career of more than five decades. The exhibition was organized by Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, Brattleboro, Vermont in collaboration with Knoedler and Company, New York, NY. This exhibition is made possible in part by M&T Bank
