FROM THE DIRECTOR

What an exciting time to be joining the Paul and Lulu Hilliard University Art Museum! As a new member of the commu-nity, I am grateful for the warm welcome and the fast friendships that have made Lafayette quickly feel like my hometown. This year marks the ten year anniversary of the opening of the new museum building and we are honored to have present-ed more than 100 exhibitions and many more programs that support and promote the art of our past and our present.

The Hilliard University Art Museum (HUAM) is proud to be a part of a growing national research university with more than 18,000 students and 600 faculty in nine degree-granting colleges and departments that make UL the university of choice in Louisiana. As a collecting institution, the museum is a resource for scholarship and research on the arts as well as a cultural icon in the city.

Over the past few months, I have been impressed by the creative and entrepreneurial spirit that is ingrained in the culture of Acadiana, not to mention the warmth and hospitality that sets us apart. The museum strives to capture this same spirit by welcoming the community to see its exhibitions and to participate in programs that allow you to interact and experi-ence art in new ways.

I hope you will enjoy reading about the wonderful exhibitions and programs we presented in the fall, from our two exhibi-tions on Russian art and photography during and after World War II, to the presentation of paintings by Henry Botkin from our permanent collection, to our partnership with Festivals Acadiens et Créoles celebrating their forty year anniversary.

Please join us for the opening of our new exhibitions in January and sign up to receive our e-blasts so that you can stay informed about programs throughout the season. Visit http://www.hilliardmuseum.org/newsletter to sign up now.

Thanks so much for your continued interest and support. I look forward to seeing you at the museum soon!

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THEFALL 2014 EXHIBITIONS

This fall the museum presented several important and historic exhibitions that explored dynamic changes to visual arts in the twentieth century. The larger exhibits featured Russian artists and photographers living and working in dangerous conditions to document the political machinations and atrocities of World War II and to showcase the pro-paganda machine at work in the former Soviet Union. Layered within the vari-ous mediums of paint and photography, levels of meaning based on ethnicity, political drama, and risk taking became apparent.

Finding Freedom in Russian Art, 1961-2014: Selections from the Kolodzei Art Foundation and the Collection of Dr. Wayne F. Yakes featured selections from two large private collections of Russian art. This exhibition highlighted the stages and transitions of nonconformist and independent art, lending particular insight into Russian alternative culture and its progression throughout the past 40 years.

Through Jewish Soviet Eyes: Photogra-phy, War, and the Holocaust, an exhibi-tion of photograps by the most import-ant Soviet photojournalists, included work by Evgenii Khaldei, Georgii Zelma, and Dmitrii Baltermants. The majority of Soviet photojournalists were Jewish, coming from mid-sized towns in south-ern Russia, and raised on the cusp of

modernity. These photographers took aesthetically arresting war images and were also the first to document the lib-eration of Nazi atrocity sites, three years before better-known photographers like Margaret Bourke White and Lee Miller saw their first concentration camps in Germany.

Henry Botkin: Evolution presented the early work of an American modernist painter from our permanent collec-tion. This first exhibition traced the progression of twentieth century art through Botkin’s development from a Modernist painter working small-scale to his beginnings as a more mature artist focused on the collage style of the Abstract Expressionists. A large portion of Henry Botkin’s estate was donated to the University Art Museum in 1981 and it remains one of the largest repositories of his work to date.

TROUTMAN: You’ve just recently arrived in Lafayette as a new director of the Hilliard University Art Museum. How are you enjoying your new com-munity?

GREENWALD: It’s been a welcome transition coming from a big city like Washington, D.C. to a real community like Lafayette. I grew up in a small town in Ohio - the youngest of eight children in a catholic community - and so Lafay-ette feels very much like home. Wheth-er I’m at Art Walk, church, the grocery store or a concert, I see people I know.

TROUTMAN: What is your vision for the Hilliard Museum?

GREENWALD: The museum is such a great facility with the state-of-the-art Hilliard Museum as well as the historic A. Hays Town building that offers more flexible space for community engage-ment. Being part of UL, the museum can partner with a myriad of academic disciplines to present programs and exhibitions that are truly unique. We’re also lucky to be in such a diverse and creative community that celebrates its cultural resources. That gives us the op-

portunity to reach more broadly into the regional, national and international communities to present work that will complement our local cultural experi-ence.

While we currently produce nine new exhibitions a year, we can do much more with programming. We’re fortu-nate to have two stunning spaces, but it’s people that really bring our insti-tution to life. We’re working on devel-oping a schedule of multi-disciplinary programs to be held on Wednesday evenings throughout the spring. There will be discussions, music and poetry performed in the galleries to provide a new lens through which to consider our exhibitions. Eventually we’ll expand our programming to weekends as well so that we can offer families oppor-tunities to see and make art together. We want everyone in the community, regardless of age, background or inter-ests, to have a reason to come to the museum and be an active part of our community.

TROUTMAN: What is the museum’s role within the university community verses the community of Lafayette?

GREENWALD: As part of UL, we are first and foremost an educational resource for students and faculty. The exhibitions, publications and programs that we produce represent new schol-arship on the art of our past and pres-ent. We are also a collecting institution and through our collection develop-ment we are contributing to the history of art in Louisiana and in America. In the community, we complement the many great resources that are already here while also providing a cultural icon that is a destination for tourists. Our location at the edge of campus allows us to effectively bridge the university and the community, creating a gathering space for the exchange of ideas and perspectives. The museum is a resource for local schools as well as community groups, but I think there may be additional ways that we can serve the community. I’m working right now with our board member Eddie Palmer to engage local community leaders to work with us in thinking out-side the box about how the museum could contribute to meeting the needs of our community. I hope that these discussions might open our doors to new partnerships and programs.

TROUTMAN: Museums today are challenged by so many other entities that are competing for people’s lei-sure time. How does an art museum maintain it’s stake in the community, especially a community like ours that has so many cultural offerings?

GREENWALD: This issue is at the crux of the museum’s transformation in re-cent years. While museums used to be able to rest on their laurels as civic in-stitutions that represented culture with a capital C, today culture encompasses a much broader range of offerings and our media channels and technology have influenced higher expectations among our audience for the delivery of information and experience. As you point out, people have more choices for how they spend their leisure time than ever before. Rather than one blanket solution, I think that museums need to build multiple relationships with com-munity groups, identify key interests and needs, and based on that create programs that make people want to come to the museum. Rather than putting out a single channel message, museums must create a collaborative and interactive environment where the community isincluded as a partner.

TROUTMAN: What is the museum’s role in education?

GREENWALD: Museums play a key role in education. They are places that are open to anyone with curiosity. They are filled with objects and information that inspire by taking you out of the day-to-day and into another world.

No matter how you learn best – by looking, reading, watching, experiencing – museums accommodate and encour-age your participation. Through the act of looking and reflecting, we hone our skills of observation and interpretation – skills that support classroom learning and life in general.

TROUTMAN: One of the things that sets the Hilliard Museum apart from other cultural institutions in the area, like AcA, is that it is a collecting insti-tution. What are the strengths of the museum’s collection and why is that significant?

GREENWALD: The Hilliard Museum has been the fortunate recipient of many gifts of art over the years. Our collection includes a substantial num-ber of works on paper including draw-ing, prints and photography, as well as painting and sculpture. Our Louisiana Collection spans from 19th to 21st Century and we have several special collections like the Jacqueline Hey-mann Cohn Japanese Print Collection, the Sylvia and Warren Lowe Folk Art Collection and the Ambassador Jeffer-son Caffery Collection of Egyptian Art. We also have a significant collection of the drawings and paintings of Ameri-can artist Henry Botkin, which we are currently exhibiting. Through collect-ing, museums are preserving culture and contributing to history. Of course it takes a lot of resources to care for a collection. Historic objects, and espe-cially works on paper have to be stored in a climate-controlled environment and must undergo conservation when

chemical changes occur in materials over the years. The role of collections stewardship is another important part of our mission.

TROUTMAN: Where do you see the museum 5 years from now?

I see the museum everywhere – in class-rooms, at community festivals, in publi-cations, in conversations over coffee in the park. The Hilliard Museum has so much potential as a community partner, an educational resource, a cultural hub for Lafayette. I would like to see our community engaged with the museum at every phase of their life, from cradle to grave, as we say. And I think that as we build partnerships and continue to create inspiring and educational pro-gramming, the museum and Lafayette will become an even greater destination nationally and internationally.

SPOTLIGHT ONTHE PERMANENT COLLECTIONTEXT BY DR. LEE GRAY

Throughout history and in most cul-tures, a fascination with faces and iden-tity has produced some form of portrait representation. Beyond mere identifi-cation, a portrait tells us much more about a person, providing insight that goes well beyond his or her particular likeness. We can learn about a person’s class, gender, race, values, culture, and the period in which he or she lived just by noticing his or her clothes and environment. Accoutrements such as books, jewelry, the placement of a skull, or the inclusion of a window can tell us

much about the period and culture in which they lived. The expression on the subject’s face can also inform us about the interaction between an artist and the sitter. It can even reflect subtleties like the sitter’s self-image. In effect, portraits do more than represent their subject. They also serve as complex constructions of identity and by exten-sion, society.

Art historians agree that portraiture as an art form began with the Egyptians, who painted images of gods and pha-raohs on tomb walls. For many centu-ries this was the norm. Only gods and deified leaders were depicted in por-traits until the interest in man became a central feature of society. The Romans were among the first to create images of humans with individual characteris-tics. Still, it was only in the Renaissance that portraiture in its modern sense became a true aesthetic genre. Predom-inately portraying royals, nobles, and religious figures, Renaissance portraits concentrated on the status and person-

ality of the sitter through the depiction of objects and environment.  Italian painters dominated this new kind of presentation until Flemish and Spanish artists co-opted it during the Baroque and Rococo periods. By the mid-18th century, artists in Britain, such as Sir Joshua Reynolds, were forming a genre of historical portraiture.

Last year’s spotlight exhibit includ-ed works by Jimmy Lee Suddith and Charles St. Julien and showcased artists who were self-taught. Their diverse styles tended to be more abstract than traditional portraits. This was due, in part, to their lack of traditional training

in figure drawing. Since few of these self-taught artists had the opportunity to draw from a professional model, they chose to portray people who were close to them, images found in popular media, or themselves. On some levels, we see this happening in our own time. Today, it is quite common for someone to take a “selfie” with a cell phone. While not entirely the same as Re-naissance or Modern portraiture, they function in a similar manner, represent-ing the individual’s surrounding world and culture.

sonate with his viewers, who are seek-ing their own forms of truth.

The New Sublime: Video works by Courtney EganThe New Sublime, a multimedia ex-hibition by New Orleans-based artist Courtney Egan, will bring a touch of spring into the museum. Her botanical art is comprised of projection-based sculptural installations and the works create a surprising association with myth, fairy tale, and modern technol-ogy. Egan’s botanical videos present a beautiful marriage of art and tech-nology. By making use of abundant technological and material resources, this exhibit will illustrate how art and science benefit from individuals who are interested in reflecting the world in which we live. Through the splendor of digitized natural elements, Egan’s work presents her viewers with tough questions about the future of the natu-ral world in the wake of a technological one.

Henry Botkin: Evolution (part 2)This exhibition complements our fall exhibition of Henry Botkin’s early work and follows the artist’s break from Imp-

COMING SOON:SPRING 2015 EXHIBITIONS

On January 17th the museum opens three new exhibitions featuring paint-ing, mixed media, and video.

Truth and Identity: Questions for the Self in works by Gary ChapmanGary Chapman, an artist currently living and working in Birmingham, Ala-bama, illustrates his search for identity through paintings and assembled pro-gressions that view the world through the lenses of popular culture, identity politics, and religious and social envi-ronments. The artist juxtaposes and layers images and objects which sug-gest moments in time, both past and future, psychological and intellectual, natural and invented. These questions about identity stem from Chapman’s own concerns about his place in the world as a husband, a father, an artist, a man, a citizen, and so on. His search echoes that of nearly every individual who lives in a world filtered through social media and popular media, as well as cultural, religious, and political beliefs that tend to define individu als from an outside perspective rather than from an inter nal knowledge of true identity. These are the questions that inform Chapman’s art and hopefully re-

ressionism, showing his transition into abstraction and focusing on his later abstract-style collage pieces. The scale of his works increases considerably as well, another influence of this artistic movement. Botkin’s personal evolution as an artist demonstrates this exciting period of visual history. The works on view in this second part of Evolution will indicate that Botkin found his voice in Abstract Expressionism, a uniquely American style developed in the middle of the century.

FRED DASPIT TRIBUTETEXT BY CHRISTIAN FONTENOT

Last July, the Lafayette community was saddened by the news that beloved scholar, artist, and longtime educator Fred Daspit had passed at the age of 83. We would like to take a moment to reflect on Fred’s life and his many contributions to the museum, and particularly, the art community as a whole. The former University of Louisi-ana Lafayette (known then as Univer-sity of Southwestern Louisiana) faculty member played a paramount commu-nity role throughout his life, cultivating and establishing a lasting love and dedication to the fine arts. Daspit was instrumental in starting the university’s first art gallery. Being the first curator of the University Art Center, Daspit energetically supported expanding the community’s love and understanding of the fine arts. His efforts, alongside his peers, ultimately laid the groundwork for the development of the museum we have today.

Alongside these contributions, Das-pit was a celebrated and much-loved educator. “He always had time for his students,” writes Brandee Duhon, one of his former ULL students. “He treated every question with merit and had a fantastic sense of humor. He was a gentleman, a true teacher and I will be forever grateful to him for the love of history I have today.” John Hathorn, a

faculty member in the UL College of Art, Hilliard Museum board member, and former student of Daspit, said “individuals who learned from Fred [learned] that art is capable of enor-mous healing, a subject that is not only sacred, but more importantly relevant to the life of each and every individu-al.” Fred didn’t just teach the facts, he inspired a genuine love for the arts.

His passion and talent, and the great enthusiasm he fostered among the Lafayette community, has left a lasting impression on the museum, one that is interwoven into its very foundations. Fred Daspit’s contributions stand as a testament to his ability to inspire students and colleagues, or as Profes-sor Hathorn put it, his ability to inspire others to “find their own voices, wheth-er in the classroom as scholars, as visual artists, or simply as individuals.”

“Mr. Daspit had a major influence on me pursuing my passions. Before Desert Storm, my major was “Pre Med” and I was enrolled in Fred’s Art History course. My semester was disrupted for military duty. While in Saudi, having Scuds blow up over my head, I reflected on Fred’s passionate lectures which ul-

timately led me down the path of pursuing my passions and reenroll-ing with a major in design. Fred’s stories of reincarnation and his unique teaching approach which included having students “sketch” furniture, architecture, and art from his slide collection instead of using a book was challenging, engaging and extraordinary. As I learned of Fred’s retirement and creation of extremely detailed works of art, I knew that several pieces needed to be part of our collection so that his “energy” could be with me long after the physical body I knew had departed this earth.” Doug Menefee (Former student, Enterprise CIO Advisor, Amazon Web Services)
