Johns Hopkins will celebrate for the first time the 19
oil and watercolor paintings by the
gloriously innovative French colorist Raoul Dufy that were
collected by arts patron and cultural
maverick Alice Warder Garrett, former mistress of what is
now
Evergreen Museum & Library.
Dufy: The Evergreen Collection, which opens
this week, brings together these expressive
paintings — along with related works on loan from the
Baltimore Museum of Art — and letters and
receipts that reconstruct Garrett's compilation of the
collection from 1935 to 1939.
The show opens with a free reception from 1 to 4 p.m.
on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Evergreen
Museum & Library, where it will remain on display through
Sunday, Jan. 6.
The "granddaddy of modern chic," as Dufy was called in
Time magazine during his visit to the
United States in 1950-51, left one of the most joyful
oeuvres of his era. Evergreen's Dufy paintings —
all made during the period between the two World Wars
— chronicle a prolific period of stylistic
growth, when the artist's thorough academic training,
experiments with Impressionism and Fauvism,
and experiences in book illustration and textile design
coalesced into a fully mature and highly
personal style of supple line, limpid color and saturated
light.
The exhibition concentrates on the series of themes
for which the artist is most well-known:
Mediterranean landscapes, sea goddesses and ancient Italian
ruins; horse races and regattas; and
other lighthearted scenes of leisure and spectacle. The
energy with which Dufy rendered these
subjects befitted modern French life in the early 20th
century and continues to make him a favorite
of audiences today.
Dufy: The Evergreen Collection has been
organized by Evergreen Museum & Library, one of the
Johns Hopkins University Museums, and is made possible by
the Evergreen House Foundation with
generous organizing support from the Richard C. von Hess
Foundation and the Maryland State Arts
Council, an agency funded by the state of Maryland and the
National Endowment for the Arts.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 46-page illustrated
catalog, by former JHU Museums
director Cindy Kelly, which is available at the Evergreen
Museum Shop for $12.
Through Jan. 22, the museum is also presenting a
companion show called Exhibiting Alice, which
explores the Paris art gallery that former Evergreen
resident Alice Warder Garrett sponsored for
two months during the summer of 1934, when it's likely that
she and Dufy first met. Focusing on
objects drawn from Evergreen's archives and permanent
collections, the exhibition reconstructs
Garrett's gallery and the dynamic woman who gave young,
emerging artists the opportunity to exhibit
their work alongside some of the leading artists of the
day.
The Dufy exhibition and companion show are on view as
part of regular museum tours, offered
Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday and
Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. (last tour at 3 p.m.).
Admission is free to museum members and Johns Hopkins
faculty, staff and students; $3, Johns
Hopkins alumni and retirees, non-Hopkins students and
children over 5; $5 seniors; and $6 others. For
general museum information, call 410-516-0341 or go to www.museums.jhu.edu.
