Dear friends,The change of seasons often brings a new energy to the Museum and this year proves no exception. From the new and colorful blossoms in the Kim A. Klancke, M.D., and Marsha L. Klancke Environmental Education complex to the numerous and

exciting new exhibitions and programs, it is a wonderful time to visit.If you’ve recently visited the Museum, you’ll have noticed all the activity preparing the site of the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. This beautiful and innovative Museum will be the new permanent home for the Brown’s extensive collection of more than 2,600 paintings of Florida to be donated over the next several years. In addition to a large, permanent gallery including a mezzanine, which will showcase the collections’ signature pieces, the new Museum will include six smaller, changing galleries, ranging from 900 to 2,000 square feet, conference and education rooms, a café with outdoor seating and a gift shop. Conference rooms and meeting and event spaces will be available to the public on a rental basis.A new exhibit at MOAS, Women Painting Florida, is an enjoyable preview of what’s to come with the new Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art. This exhibit provides an overview for the achievements by women artists and features a variety of subject matter from sites throughout the state. In the coming months, capsule exhibits will be featured to highlight some of the significant works to be on exhibit in the new Museum, which is slated to open in 2015.

We look to both the past and the future as we continue to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Ponce de León’s discovery of Florida with both Borders of Paradise – The New World in the Eyes of the Explorers and Florida Celebrates Space. These world class exhibitions both illustrate the peninsula not only as a destination for the first explorers, but as a gateway for those launching to explore new worlds beyond Earth. These exhibits will be closing at the end of the month and you will surely want to take them in again.Also offered in celebration of Florida’s 500th year is our special “Florida Time Machine” series of lectures highlighting a selection of fascinating Florida history tales from throughout the state. From the Mission San Luis to the Florida Barge Canal, these talks will surely reveal interesting facts about our home state. The Florida Time Machine talks are made possible through a grant from the Florida Humanities Council.The stunning exhibit, Sacred Images: Icons from the MOAS Collection continues through May 19th and highlights some recent donations. Coming later that month, the Museum will be exhibiting from our permanent collection of Indian and Persian miniature paintings. These are part of a treasured collection donated by Kenneth Worcester Dow which is noted as one of the most important in the South. Of course, spring also means the Summer Learning Institute, sponsored by Bright House Networks, is right around the corner, and all of the registration and programming information is available in this issue, as well as online at www.moas.org. Remember to register early, as we have been fortunate enough to fill our classes each year!As always, thank you for your continued support – I look forward to seeing you around the Museum!

I have lived in Florida for 22 years. My husband and I moved over to the beach eight years ago and we love the sunshine and ocean breezes. One of our favorite vacation destinations continues to be the Florida Keys.

I worked as an Administrative Assistant at Wells Fargo for 24 years and began my career with them in Dallas before coming to Florida.

My hobbies include reading, fishing, boating and volunteering at MOAS in the Education Department. Zach Zacharias, Senior Curator of Education, is great to work with and I especially enjoy the Summer Learning Institute children’s camp. It’s a very popular program at the Museum that brings together a lot of talented professionals and older students who create a great interactive and educational summer program for the kids. I'm also looking forward to the plans at MOAS this year with the refurbishing and ground-breaking on the new building and all the new exhibits…fun and exciting times!

In 1992, MOAS published the catalogue A Treasury of Indian Miniature Paintings.

This included a perceptive and illustrative preface written by Gary R. Libby, at that time Executive Director of MOAS. In this preface he recalls a conversation with Kenneth Worcester Dow who, the previous year, had donated the miniatures to the Museum. Mr. Dow initially fell in love with Indian miniature paintings in Paris in 1949, “…a small number discovered during a search for French military art in antique and print emporiums.” Later, in 1950 and 1951, he made further discoveries and purchases. He recorded that, “England was a particularly fertile place to look for Indian (and Persian) art. Many (British) servicemen from the period of the Raj through World War II bought and brought home Indian and Persian treasures….”

Rather than develop a formal strategy for collecting, Dow relied on his emotional reactions to the works, being guided by the

individual merits of each work no matter what period or school. The Indian paintings are a treasured part of the Museum’s permanent collection.

A catalogue of this important acquisition was authored by Roy C. Craven, Jr., at that time Professor of Art, Emeritus, University of Florida, Gainesville,

and was accompanied by a superb exhibition in 1992 - which I was lucky enough to see. It was breathtaking. Roy Craven unfortunately is no longer with us, but his scholarship lives on.

His opinion of the Dow donation to MOAS was that it was “…one of the most important collections in the South, containing individual works of international significance and merit.” I can do no better than dedicate our revival of the Indian miniature painting exhibition and this essay, of which much reflects Roy Craven’s academic, creative and expressive words, to Roy himself, as well as to Kenneth Worcester and Mary Mohan Dow.

The following paragraphs come directly from the catalogue introduction which Roy Craven referred to simply as “A Short Essay on Painting in India.” Commencing, he captured the land of India and its artistic origins, thus….

“The Subcontinent of India hangs pendant from the land mass of

of Asia became less remote and more accessible.

“The first Indian paintings to receive notice and appreciation in the West were, not surprisingly, the miniatures created for the Mughal courts of India. Their realistically rendered tableaux of court life, warfare, and portraiture strongly appealed to Western tastes, and their stylistic relationship to Persian painting, a form already known and approved by European aesthetes, made them immediately attractive as well.

India like a shimmering diamond lozenge, enhanced at its Southern tip by a dangling pearl – the island of Sri Lanka.”

He continues, “In this expansive setting, the complex cultural heritage of India has been woven into a rich, colorful fabric, constant and unbroken for the past 5,000 years. A central element of this great polychromed historical cloth is the art of India. Beginning in the fourth millennium B.C., among the once lushly thriving cities of the Indus Valley (now dusty ruins in modern Pakistan) and continuing into our century, the arts were created primarily to serve religious needs.

“To a great degree, an informed interest in the history and aesthetics of Indian painting has been a phenomenon of the second half of the twentieth century. A painting tradition has existed in India for about as long as it has in the West, for roughly two and a half millennia; thus, the lack of general interest in this art, both in the West and to some extent in its country of origin, is puzzling.”

Time passed, then…“During the second decade of the twentieth century, the emergence in Europe of two revolutionary movements – Cubism and nonobjective painting – would sensitize Western eyes anew and indirectly prepare them to view Asian and Indian arts in a new manner. Cubism’s decisive implementation of elements of African art provided a major aesthetic shock which flung the doors of perception open to fresh visions of form which had long been denied to Western eyes. Artifacts, previously regarded only as ethnographic “specimens” of “primitive” societies, now enhanced the walls of art museums. The arts

INDIAN & PERSIAN MINIATURES (continued from page 9)

“Obviously, any art form will be more meaningful to us if we understand its historical and religious settings, its styles and techniques. Even so, Indian miniature painting, with its saturated colors and its symbolic, exotic imagery, is directly seductive. It has the magical power to transport us from everyday reality to that enchanted world full of delightful wonder and fantasy – an India that once was but is no more.”

We are greatly indebted to Kenneth Worcester and Mary Mohan Dow together with Roy Craven for this opportunity to once again fall in love with and learn from these extraordinary and exquisite artworks. ≈

Intended to reduce shipping times, it was championed in the early twentieth century as a way to make the mostly rural state a center of national commerce and trade. Rejected by the Army Corps of Engineers as "not worthy," the project received continued support from Florida legislators. Federal funding was eventually allocated and work began in the 1930s, but the canal quickly became a lightning rod for controversy.

All events are free for members or with paid admission and are at the Museum of Arts & Sciences.

The Museum’s galleries abound with images of animals. Cows, dogs, birds, and even a cheetah roam through the artwork, but the image of the horse is most prolific.

T his elegant animal is present in almost every medium. its image is the subject of porcelain, sculpture, lithography and

paintings. at any one time, there are close to 100 images of this most noble animal on display. sometimes, the horse is the primary focus of the art and sometimes it’s merely a compositional element. however, the keen observer will clearly see the image of the horse running, trotting or galloping throughout the collection.

Mankind’s love affair with the horse is one that has been chronicled and catalogued over the millennia by the artist’s hand. like a mustang on the great plains, the horse’s compelling beauty and athleticism makes our collective imagination run wild. the image of the horse is one of the oldest on record, dating back 30,000 years to the chauvet-pont-d'arc cave in France where over 800 renderings were painted on the walls. what began as a relationship between predator and prey evolved into a very unique and special relationship between man and this regal creature. this connection is what prehistoric artists memorialized.

it is easy to understand mankind’s symbiotic relationship with the horse. their domestication revolutionized

travel, helped build civilizations and conquered new lands. their image became a significant component in religious mythology. horses are unique among domesticated animals in that they were not used for meat or milk, but for strength. only since world war ii has this animal retired from military service and food production after thousands of years as a beast of burden.

THE MYTHOLOGICAL HORSEthe Museum’s oldest piece of horse art resides in the helena and william schulte gallery of chinese art. several beautiful and majestic tang horses date back to 750 B.c. the tang dynasty was a period of long-standing peace and prosperity in china and gave rise to great artistic and cultural advancement. these terra-cotta horses were buried with their wealthy owners to accompany them in their journey to the next world. horses embodied strength, power and purity. as such, they became protectors of the tombs. the figures, each about 15 inches tall, are shown prancing in realistic poses with heads slightly up, nostrils flared, tails bound and manes flowing. they reflect the magical and mystical qualities bestowed upon them by their owners.

THE WAR HORSEhorses have always been symbols of wealth and power for their owners. For thousands of years, the rich and powerful have inspired, or more likely commissioned, their likenesses astride magnificent steeds. the obvious intent is to demonstrate the power of the man by association to the majestic animal. equestrian portraiture shows

HORSINGAROUND THE MUSEUM

roman emperors, famous generals and wealthy noblemen riding horses, casting intimidating figures. the rider’s strength is derived or enhanced by that of the horse.

in the Museum’s collections, such images can be seen in the armory exhibit where there are multiple images of large, muscular horses carrying equally powerful soldiers. the portrait of a "French dragoon" charcoal on paper (1846) shows a strong, sturdy horse with a muscular frame supporting a stern looking young soldier

ready for action at a moment’s notice. the dragoons were a light cavalry traditionally used for scouting, guarding and providing security. in this portrait, horse and rider are powerful, intimidating and menacing. the image is dark, foreboding and almost dreamlike.

another example in the armory exhibit is a hand colored lithograph, The Battle of Smolensk (1812), which depicts a common genera of horse called “the Brave horse.” in this picture, warhorses

are shown in the chaos of battle. napoleon and his generals command the action from a high vantage point atop their mounts. napoleon’s cavalry is engaged in the pandemonium of battle with plumes of white smoke rising from artillery fire. smolensk, a russian fortress city on the dnieper river, was captured by napoleon’s guard to use as a supply base for his catastrophic attempt to capture Moscow. napoleon’s steed is most likely a depiction of his favorite horse, Marengo, a white arabian horse captured in his conquest of egypt.

the Battle of smolensk (1812)


THE HORSE AS PART OF COMPOSITIONMany times, horses are shown as part of the overall composition of a painting or piece

of decorative art. there are numerous examples throughout the collection in every gallery. in the cuban Foundation Museum, for example, the subject of a beautiful landscape painting by Miguel arias (cuban Landscape, oil on canvas,

ca. 1875) is of a vast sugar plantation. a row of iconic cuban royal palm trees runs from the left foreground back toward the distant horizon. a gentle, picturesque stream runs through the center of the plantation as a farmer waters his small, stocky horse. although arias is a master landscape painter, his ability to render an accurate-looking horse is somewhat limited and crude. it looks like a cross between a horse and cow, but provides an insight about the animal’s importance to the operation of the plantation.

HORSE PORTRAITURE - THE “REAL” HORSEparticularly during the late 17th century, dutch artists began to show the horse alone in pastoral settings, in leisure and in harmony with humans. a horse was depicted in its own right, and not merely to convey the importance of the rider. images of horses flourished as wealthy owners sought artists to paint their most prized possessions. British painter george stubbs raised equestrian portraiture to a new level by rendering the animal with great anatomical detail and without a background. he and other, similar artists desired to show the horse in its most pure and elegant form.

alexander pope’s oil on canvas calvary sargent and his horse in the Museum’s dow gallery of american art is an excellent example of horse portraiture. the accurately rendered horse stands in a field at leisure with his cavalry rider by his side. the portrait details its large musculature, shiny coat, detailed bridle and finely combed mane set against a big blue sky.

another great example is seen in the helena and william schulte gallery of chinese art. chinese artist shu-pei huan created his ink on paper monochrome portrait in 1940. a favorite subject of this master painter, the powerful and elegant horse is shown in an athletic pose without a background. the broad brushstrokes add a hint of romanticism.

THE RACE HORSEever since humans first began using horses for transportation, we have used them for racing. perhaps it is a reflection

In celebration of the Kentucky Derby, join Senior Curator of Education and Curator of History, James "Zach" Zacharias, May 2 from 3pm to 4pm, for a unique look at the many pieces of art featuring the horse throughout MOAS collections. Free for members or with paid admission.

SacredIMAGESIcons from the MOAS Collection

In comparison with countries such as Armenia, Georgia and Byzantium, where the Christian faith had been established since at least the fourth century, Christianity, with all of its characteristic and deeply moving rituals was late in arriving in Russia; absorbed from Byzantium in the latter part of the tenth century.

To accommodate the new teaching of the Gospel - in great part by immigrant Byzantine clergy, churches and monasteries sprang up as if overnight.

Further south, especially in Kiev - where stone and brick were available and where the ruling Prince Vladimir was an early convert, several magnificent churches were constructed, their vast shadowy interiors decorated with large paintings of biblical scenes. Many of the artists were of Byzantine heritage.

Icons - individual portable panels bearing religious scenes and images - evolved over time as a way of drawing members of the community closer to God, and were as venerated as the great paintings in the churches.

Of those artists who created icons - images in tempera on wood, a long established technique originating with the Fayum tomb paintings of ancient Egypt - most never formally studied the arts and knew little of anatomy or perspective. Yet in spite of their innocence they produced many moving and intimate religious portraits, portraying both the symbolic and mystical aspects of divine beings.

The artists used tempera, a form of watercolor made opaque through the addition of raw egg yolk and often diluted with rye beer. As many as two dozen pigments could be made from natural materials; for example, raw umber from the earth. Cinnabar was used as we may use

a pencil – to outline the images in a painting. A coating of white lead paint next created a smooth surface, then many colors, such as a natural reddish ochre applied. Some artistry, like that of the “facial artists” or lichniki was regarded as a precious talent, as was the painting of architectural backgrounds or rocky landscapes. It is unusual to find an icon illustrating an interior setting. Gold leaf, intended to represent the radiance of heaven, was laid over a primer of diluted red wine, which gave the gold a rich, warm glow.

Many icons were further embellished with decorative and protective metal covers, often cut with openings that showed the faces of the Holy Family or Saints. Several lovely examples are in the exhibition.

All of the icons on display were donated to the Museum; most recently a group of 22 through a bequest from Colonel James Choromokos, Jr., PhD, a former United States Air Force Colonel, who made his purchases in Europe shortly after World War II. These join important examples donated by John Evangelinelis, Tait and Bernice Endsley, Mr. and Mrs. Apostolos and Nick Apostolos in the 1980s.

Together, these holy treasures represent not only the goodness and humanity of departed holy figures, but also illustrate the imagination and devotion of the unknown artists.

is rich with artistic, scientific and historical artifacts, as well as its

many volunteers, who are often referred to as the jewels who make it happen. The Guild of the Museum of Art and Sciences volunteer members are the backbone of its operation in the MOAS community. 230 Members strong, the Guild brings a great enthusiasm that is so welcoming to new Museum visitors, Guild educational program attendees, and to the many patrons participating in the many Guild events throughout the year.

Where Have We Been?The Guild members each bring their unique talents and interests to make each of the many events a success, thus far raising over $43,000 to support the Museum. The Guild Board is very grateful for its hardworking, dedicated and enthusiastic volunteer members, who have chaired numerous committees making up the two main events of the fall - the Halifax Arts Festival and the Festival of Trees. All were recognized by Certificates of Appreciation and/or 50th Golden Anniversary commemorative crystal stemware at the membership meetings in November 2012 and January 2013.

We were honored to have in the our presence our first President, Jackie Harrison from 1962 to Fran Massey of 1973, Linda Williams of 1989, Clarissa Chester of 1992, Lydia Simko of 1997, Sherrie Hustedt of 1999, Gloria Keay of 2001, Ann Connelly of 2003, Ruth Bon-Fleur of 2005, Janet Jacobs of 2007 and JoAnne Eaton-Morriss of 2009. Their key sentiment, stated over and again, is that the Guild family keeps growing and giving and building a better Museum for its community as we move into 2013.

Programming - From the art of Soup to Secrets of collecting art and Groundbreaking DiscoveriesWe kicked off 2013 with Chef Bobby Frappier of Frappe's North Restaurant and Catering in Ormond Beach, demonstrating and sharing a taste of his famous, heartwarming soups.

February was a delight with a toast to Cici Brown, who shared her secrets to the successful collecting of more than 2,600 pieces of art for the new Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Florida Art here on the MOAS campus. Members and guests loved the select, exquisite pieces which Cici brought for viewing.

Too often, many of us think about the Museum as separate parts of a whole - collections, educational programs and exhibitions. The Guild programs over the last two years were designed to integrate all parts, helping members to learn the value of each component.

The Guild completed this series in March with MOAS Senior Curator of Education and Curator of History, Zach Zacharias, who helped us step back in time to 12,000 years ago during the Ice Age when mastodon lumbered around Nova Road.

of peoples’ innate competitive desire. ancient Mongolian herders raced across the steppes. ancient romans held grand chariot races with thousands of people in attendance. in europe and america, owners organized to race their prize steeds on preplanned courses or racetracks. whether chariot, harness or thoroughbred, artists have been captivated by the speed, the glory and the exhilaration of horses in peak physical activity.

an excellent example of the racing horse is displayed in the dow gallery of american art. an oil painting by John Mcauliffe, Majolica 2:17 (1883) focuses on the popular sport of harness racing. the american standardbred is the fastest trotting horse in the world. Mcauliffe shows the trotter at full speed with all four legs off the track and a blurred background showing the fast, forward movement of the horse. Majolica, a champion trotter, is on its way to breaking a track record at Fleetwood park in the Bronx. again, this painting commemorates the wealth and power of horse owners. the track was open to a very select group of important horseman such as william k. vanderbilt, william rockefeller, Jr., and leonard Jerome. the track eventually closed its doors in 1898 in the name of urban development.

humans and horses have had a symbiotic relationship since the dawn of civilization. the horse holds an important place in human history. in fact, without the horse, humans would not have been able to travel continents, build cities, or support dense agriculture. the image of the horse is ingrained into the human psyche. it inspires us to memorialize the equine image in every medium. with the advent of industrialization, the horse is no longer the foundation of society. still, it continues to inspire and excite us. From the earliest cave paintings to the kentucky derby, horses represent our competitive drive, our aspirations and our more noble impulses.

A meteorite from a private collector that measures about four

inches long and weighs nearly 2 lbs.

By Seth Mayo,

Curator of Astronomy

If you are on a quest to marvel at the most ancient

objects in the Museum, you will not find it in our famed Giant Ground Sloth skeleton or our newly un-earthed Mastodon fossils. As old as those

bones are, they don't come close in age to the seemingly inconspicuous rock-like specimens that are located just outside our Planetarium.

There you will discover objects - ancient remnants - from the very beginnings of our solar system. These objects came to rest after blasting through Earth’s atmosphere. These objects

are meteorites, and as unostentatious as they appear, reveal the early ingredients of our celestial neighborhood and provide a rare, amazing glimpse at something older than Earth

Additionally, a beautiful sliced specimen from the Smithsonian Institution's collection is on display.

For one to understand the origin of these age-old meteorites one needs but simply gaze at the sky on a clear and crisp night to observe the brilliant streaks of light that can quickly appear overhead. These surreal and momentary occurrences are commonly referred to as “shooting” or “falling” stars. In actuality, they are not

stars at all. The flashes of light are actually caused by bits of stone or metal, usually the size of a grain of sand or pebble, that are moving at tremendous speeds through our atmosphere - casting a fiery glow as they burn

up. The particles that create these mesmerizing and colorful light shows are called “meteors” - a term derived from the Greek word “meteōros,” meaning suspended or high in the air.

The n o m e n c l a t u r e

associated with these phenomena can create some confusion. A “meteoroid” is a small particle that may come from a comet (ice-body) or an asteroid (a rocky body smaller than a planet) orbiting the Sun. If meteoroids enter our atmosphere, they are instead called “meteors” as they shoot through the sky. Once they find their way to the ground, these intact, otherworldly objects are known as “meteorites.”

An impressive specimen on display is a fairly sizable meteorite from the private collector that measures about four inches long and weighs nearly 2 ½ lbs. Its surprising heaviness is characteristic of meteorites. Due to their high iron content, magnets usually stick quite strongly to them. Although nearly all meteorites contain iron and various amounts of nickel, surprisingly only 6% are completely metallic. The majority are a combination of stone and iron or mostly stone.

The iron, nickel, silicates and various other minerals and elements found in meteorites are usually materials that have not formed into the Planets and Moons that we see today. Some meteorites are actually pieces that have broken off planets. Huge impacts from large celestial bodies can scatter such material into space. These extraordinarily rare samples allow scientists and astronomers the amazing opportunity to study the composition of other planets. Upon further examination, the aforementioned meteorite reveals a surface with dimple-like indentations.

As meteors enter Earth’s atmosphere from anywhere between 50 to 70

miles high, they can be

traveling at speeds up to an almost inconceivable 160,000 mph. The extremely high temperatures encountered by a meteor are a result of these astonishing speeds - where massive amounts of air pressure, or “ram” pressure, is built up on its front side – altering, or even disintegrating, the material. The resulting shape, molded by this excessive heat, can cause exterior indentations called "regmaglypts."

Even though most meteors don’t make headlines, they

are still beautiful and impressive to behold.

The largest meteorite on display comes from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History, Department of Mineral Sciences; Division of Meteorites. Instead of a complete specimen, the Smithsonian’s loan is a sliced cross-section pristinely encased in plastic. The rather hefty slice (about 3.7 lbs) came from a 1,740 lb. meteorite discovered in Sardis, Georgia in 1940. The cross-section allows the hidden inner portion, a crystalline shaped pattern (in stark contrast to the outer layer), to be revealed. The intricate, interlocking design is called a Widmanstätten pattern, named after Count Aloys de Widmanstätten, who made the first observation of this phenomenon in the 19th century. The pattern was formed as the metals inside slowly cooled billions of years ago.

An occasional meteor shooting by is always amazing. However, a meteor shower is one of the most

breathtaking sights in the world. During

these celestial light shows, a barrage of tiny particles rain down on Earth at a certain time throughout each year. As opposed to the literal tons of meteors that enter our atmosphere daily, a meteor shower occurs when Earth passes through a trail of debris left behind from a comet or asteroid. Depending on light pollution (manmade or from the Moon) or weather conditions, some of the most spectacular showers have produced thousands of meteors per hour.

On some of the rarest occasions, these events can take the world by surprise. This past February, the Earth’s atmosphere was host to two unrelated occurrences. On the very same day that asteroid 2012 DA14 was predicted to pass by Earth, a massive meteor exploded over Russian skies. Countless cameras inside Russian cars captured the moment as an enormous torrent of light lit up the early morning sky. Now being called a small asteroid by NASA, the object was estimated to be 55 feet in diameter and weighed around 10,000 tons. The shockwave that was unleashed as the asteroid rammed into Earth's atmosphere was the equivalent of 500,000 tons of TNT explosives. Thousands of people in urban areas were injured by shards of glass from windows violently shattering.

Even though most meteors don’t make headlines, they are still beautiful and impressive to behold.

Meteorites continue to offer important clues to our solar system’s ever-unfolding story. Next time you see a shooting star in the night sky, you will know you’re looking at a piece of ancient history - revealing itself after billions of years.
