TWO VIEWS OF VENICE: CANALETTO
AND MENPES Organized by the Arthur Ross Gallery at the University of Pennsylvania, and co-curated by Rosemary T. Smith and Frederick G. Schab, Two Views of Venice illustrates the changes in artistic expression from the mid-18th to the late 19th century through the prints of Giovanni Antonio Canal, known as Canaletto (1697–1768), and Mortimer Menpes (1855–1938). Drawn from the collection of the Arthur Ross Foundation, with additional materials from the private collection of Dr. Rosemary Smith, this exhibition presents the unique opportunity to view a comprehensive set of Canaletto’s celebrated etchings of the Venetian landscape, and the impressive Venetian views of Menpes, a lesser-known though increasingly important artist of his period and a protégé of the prominent American artist James McNeill Whistler. Combining these spectacular examples of the work of these two artists, separated in time by one hundred and fifty years, provides a lesson in the development and art of printmaking.

JAPANESE POTTERY: WORK IN
TRADITIONAL STYLES BY MODERN POTTERS Organized and sponsored by The Japan Foundation, this exhibition traces the development of modern Japanese ceramic art through sixty-five works by fifty-five artists, including the late Kawai Kanjiro and Hamada Shoji, who introduced Japanese ceramics and the folk art traditions in Japan to the world, as well as a number of artists who convey more contemporary tendencies of Japanese ceramics. The exhibition enables viewers to gain a sense of the differences in style that arise from the artists’ individual creative impulses, which at the same time all trace their roots to traditional forms of expression.

AN ARTISTIC FRIENDSHIP: BEAUFORD
DELANEY AND LAWRENCE CALCAGNO This exhibition examines the close artistic and personal friendship between two American artists of the twentieth century. Quoting from the organizer’s abstract: "Beauford Delaney and Lawrence Calcagno might seem like an unlikely pair. Delaney (1901–1979), a black American from Knoxville, Tennessee, spent most of his mature life as an expatriate artist in Paris. Lawrence Calcagno (1913–1993), a white American from northern California spent much of his peripatetic career in the U.S. and in Europe in search of a place to call home." An Artistic Friendship will present twenty-five works by these abstract artists, and is being organized in honor of the centennial of Delaney’s birth and will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with an essay by Joyce Henri Robinson and a preface by David Leeming. The Vanderbilt presentation will be held to coincide with Black History Month. [Organized by the Palmer Museum of Art, Pennsylvania Sate University]
