Ethel Denton Groos GalleryThe KIA has named one of its galleries for arts patron Ethel Denton Groos. Ethel was a longtime KIA member, student and supporter. The gallery’s nam-ing was unveiled at a special private reception for Ethel’s family and members of her Thursday painting group. She participated in weekly painting classes at the KIA for more than 25 years. Her favorite medium was oil painting, and she loved to work with the figure, in portraiture and on big canvases. The naming was made possible through a donation to the KIA by Richard Groos in honor of his wife, who passed away from cancer in 1999. The Groos Gal-lery is located on the KIA’s lower level, and it displays works drawn from the museum’s permanent collection.

The paintings, photographs and sculptures of Environmental Impact, instead confront pressing issues of our time, from land development to industrial-scale depletion of natural resources, from the Gulf oil spill to the dangers of nuclear energy, the trashing of the American landscape and the impact of global warming.

COLLECTION HIGHLIGHT

Manierre Dawson (1887-1969) is credited as being America’s first abstract artist. Raised in Chicago, he studied mechanical drawing and geometry for a career as a civil engineer. In his free time, how-ever, he painted, developing a personal style of abstraction that fea-tured parabolas, hyperbolas and circles. He called these works his “inventions.” In 1910, he began working for a Chicago architectural firm, but he soon took a six-month sabbatical to travel in Europe. Upon his return to America, Dawson abandoned his purely geo-metric compositions and began a series called Museum Paintings. In these, he assimilated what he had learned from the work of the old masters, as well as avant-garde artists like Cézanne and Picasso.

Dawson looked to Michelangelo’s Bruges Madonna as the underlying structure or “bones” of Mother and Child. We see his experimenta-tion with a semi-cubist style in the faceted surfaces that merge the foreground and the background into a single plane of angles and broken lines. The Bruges Madonna is not “destroyed” but rather broken apart and reassembled in a new and exciting way. Daw-son’s writings reveal that he viewed art and the world in terms of an underlying structure; his attention to form and composition

is evident in this personal reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s mas-terpiece. While Dawson’s muted color palette is characteristic of early Cubism, he acknowledges Medieval and Renaissance painting conventions by portraying the Madonna and Christ Child in their traditional blue and red robes. Dawson continued painting in this Modernist style from 1911 to 1913.

In 1914, Dawson left civil engineering to devote all of his time to making art, but he was not able to find financial success as an artist. Disheartened, he moved to his family’s summer retreat near Ludington, Michigan, and became a fruit farmer. Although he made his living from the land, he continued to produce six to twelve works of art a year, mostly sculptures. Toward the end of his life, he was rediscovered by the art world following a 1966 retrospective at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Over his lifetime, Manierre Daw-son created about 250 paintings and sculptures, although scholars generally agree that his most innovative work was completed be-tween 1907 and 1914.

KIRK NEWMAN ART SCHOOL DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

Faculty Spotlight: Corinne Satterlee

Corinne Satterlee is from Kalamazoo, and she started taking photography classes at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts at the age of thirteen, after receiving a camera as a gift. Living in a rural area without much to do, photography gave her an outlet for her creative side. After attending college at the Savannah School of Art and Design, she returned to Kalama-zoo and started to attend classes at the KIA once again. From there, she started teaching the Teen Photography class. She recently exhibited her work at the Kalamazoo Nature Center with the

Photography Department. Within the past year, Corinne has taught various photography classes at the Kirk Newman Art School, including Teen Photogra-phy, Introduction to Photography and Computer Basics. After teaching at the KIA for over 12 years, it has become a real part of her life. “Teaching and seeing the experience of a student’s ordinary photos transforming into a really lovely piece of art is thrilling.” Currently, Corinne has been working more with nontraditional forms of photography, like using cyanotype on fabric. In 2013, Corinne was also hired as the Darkroom and Digital Media Technician at the KIA. She is excited to work with Mary Whalen and all of the staff to help make the Photography and Digital Media Department a diverse and successful program.
