“Design for the American Stage”Riffe GalleryThrough April 17

As the show’sintroduction pointsout, oncecostumes crumbleand sets arebroken down andplaced in deepstorage, all thattangibly remains oflive theater is the drawn and constructedimaginings of the theater designers.

The sketches, fabric swatches and miniaturesets they’ve left behind make up part of thecollection of the Jerome Lawrence andRobert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute atOhio State University. For Design for theAmerican Stage, curator and OSU professorNena Couch has pulled from the institute’scollection some of the finest artwork inspiredby the dramatic arts, ranging from floordesigns to lighting schematics.

Viewing set and costume design in thiscontext brings the benefits of time andproximity, two things not afforded while theitems are in use on stage. The exhibitionalso highlights the importance of thedesigner in evoking a sense of time andatmosphere, as well as their usually unseenskills with pencil and brush.

One of the legends included in the show,Boris Aronson, shows off a loose, heavyhand with black in a design illustration forSadie Thompson; another, Mordecai Gorelik,

is more precise in illustrations from KingHunger and Let Freedom Ring, which sharean angularity and stinginess of color withSoviet propaganda posters.

Overall, the talent and work on display farexceeds expectations in scope. The showincludes everyone from Raoul Pène Du Bois,a scenic and costume artist who designedoutfits for the 1936 Ziegfeld Follies, to DavidRigler, who in addition to crafting someglittery, futuristic fashions on view here,assisted on costume designs for the 2001movie comedy Pootie Tang.

Maybe because the addition of a thirddimension goes a long way toward makingup for a lack of actors and dialogue, theminiature sets on display leave the biggestimpression. For diversity and a dominantpresence (six pieces total), Tony Straigesstands out. The spectrum he covers on hisown comes across in two miniatures placedside by side—a lush, sprawling set forGeniuses, complete with electrical outletsand outhouse, and a stage that’s bareexcept for white chairs, immediatelyrecognizable as a take on Thornton Wilder’sOur Town.

“American Master Works onPaper” and “The ClevelandSchool”Keny GalleriesThrough April 1

While Keny Galleries is known for presentingprominent works by contemporary and finefolk artists such as Edmund Kuehn, WilliamsHawkins and Elijah Pierce, the GermanVillage gallery is also recognized for itsassemblage of historic American works. Soit’s appropriate that its current pair ofexhibitions, American Master Works on

Paper (1875-1975) and The ClevelandSchool (1900-1960), highlight some of thefinest examples of watercolors, graphics andpastels by nationally recognized Ohioans.

With a focus on 30 artists associated withOhio either through birth, schooling orresidence, both shows emphasize theinfluence of the state’s natural environmentand the people in their respectivecommunities. While the likes of GeorgeBellows and James Whistler are celebratedexamples of such artists, it’s the works ofAlice Schille that are particularly noteworthy.

A highly respected artist known for her oilpaintings and watercolors, the Columbusnative and Columbus Art School (laterCCAD) alumna raised a few eyebrows bybreaking away from conventional wisdomand following her travels to North Africa.Eschewing the more muted and subtle colorgradations found in impressionist works ofthe day, Schille’s use of vibrant colors, starkshadows and geometric forms indigenous tothe desert area only gradually came intofavor as part of the emerging modernistmovement.

Paradise on earth

Every movie loverkeeps two mentallists of films: thoseyou want to seeand those thatcritics and scholarssay you shouldsee. Occasionallythe two lists collidein a marvelous,improbable piece of filmmaking that speaksto both heart and mind. The Wexner Centerbrings one of these to the big screen thisweek, Marcel Carne’s 1945 masterpieceChildren of Paradise.

The Nazis were looking for the film’s Jewishdesigner and composer, so both worked inhiding. Shuffling actors and sets betweenParis and Nice, Carne had to hire Nazisympathizers as extras, but wisely kept quietthe fact that they were acting alongsideresistance fighters. The three-hour epic setamong courtesans, theater folk and thieves(separated into two parts because the Nazisforbade films over 90 minutes) has beencalled “the French Gone with the Wind,” butit’s more magical and, free of a censoriousProduction Code, far less genteel.

Arletty stars as Garance, a woman toopowerful to belong to anyone despite theefforts of a string of men to possess her. Thefilm charts her relationships with four ofthem, from a vain, short-tempered countwho provides her comfort to a beautiful,angular mime she may actually love. Alongwith many pleasurable moviegoingmoments, the film brings a whole newrespect to the art form that brought us “mantrapped in box.”

Children of Paradise kicks off the month-long series “Cinematheque: Cinema of theOccupation” this Thursday, March 3. Call221-4848 for info. —Melissa Starker

‘Magic’ of theater requires hard workWednesday, February 23, 2005

A magic show happens before every musical or theater performance.

It’s not the same magic as pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Instead, it’s the magic of creating aworld onstage that can seem either believable or imaginary.

People who work behind the scenes to help create these special environments include set,lighting, costume and sound designers; prop masters; scenic painters; carpenters; seamstresses — the list goes on!

The Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery is presenting an exhibition that brings this magic oftheater to the walls of the gallery. ‘‘Design for the American Stage: Treasures from the OhioState University’s Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute" lets visitorsexplore work spanning from the late 1800s into the 21 st century.

Through April 17, 63 examples from professional American theater design for drama,comedy, musical theater, opera, dance and outdoor spectacle will be on display. The setmodels, costume renderings and lighting plots are records, or reminders, of the performancesand evidence of the work involved in making plays come to life. The Riffe Gallery will offeryoung visitors the opportunity to become theater artists and make shadow puppets from 2 to 4p.m. Sunday. Shadow-puppet plays have been performed for hundreds of years. On Sunday,children and their adult companions will decorate and bring to life their own multijointedpuppets from provided materials. This family day is recommended for children 6 and older.Group tours of the Riffe Gallery are offered Tuesday through Friday throughout the run of theexhibition. For family day reservations, or to schedule a group tour, contact gallery DirectorMary Gray at mary.gray@oac.state.oh.us or call 614-728-2239.

The Riffe Gallery is located in the Riffe Center, 77 S. High

St., Downtown. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.Wednesdays through Fridays, noon to 8 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. The gallery is closed Mondays. Admission isfree.

Stardust memoriesExhibit captures magic of THEATRICAL DESIGN

Sunday, February 27, 2005

Michael GrossbergTHE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

When performances end, the magic of theater can begin to fade.

Helping to preserve those memories is the mission of Ohio State University’s JeromeLawrence & Robert E. Lee Theatre Research Institute.

Drawing from its design collection of sketches, models, scenic paintings, lightingblueprints, papers and costumes, the institute is offering the first major peek into its treasureswith the exhibit ‘‘Design for the American Stage."

The elegantly lighted exhibit at the Riffe Gallery is both tantalizing and frustrating becauseof its broad scope: Samples of scenic, lighting and costume designs from Broadway, opera,regional theater and touring shows are included.

Many of the artists represented have Ohio connections and deserve more focused exhibits.

For the institute’s most public exhibit beyond the OSU campus, ‘‘We wanted to celebratethat breadth," curator Nena Couch said.

Limiting works to 90 pieces from the thousands stored at the institute was ‘‘terrible," sheadded, ‘‘like choosing children."

Spanning the late 19th century into the 21st century, the exhibit includes works byAmerica’s most prolific and influential designers (John Arnone, David Gallo, Robert EdmondJones, Jo Mielziner, Tony Straiges and Patricia Zipprodt, and OSU graduates William Barclayand Toni-Leslie James).

Rarely, though, are the examples drawn from the designers’ best-known shows. Forexample, Broadway legend Boris Aronson is represented by a set design for Sadie Thompson(1944) but not Fiddler on the Roof.

Of historical interest are renderings by the Columbus-based Armbruster Scenic Studio(1875-1958), founded by the Armbruster family to design scenery for traveling theatercompanies, minstrel shows and touring Shakespeare plays.

‘‘Mathias Armbruster came from Germany and had a beautiful style," Couch said, ‘‘butwhat’s most interesting is how his designs evolved from realistic drawings to brighter splashesof color and more comic elements."

Perhaps the most striking and glamorous object — and the first to draw the eye when oneenters the gallery — is a stunning copy of Marlene Dietrich’s famous beaded sheath dress.Tony-nominated actress Sian Phillips wore the glittering costume in 1999 in Columbusproducer Ric Wanetik’s Broadway production of Marlene. Cascading over the gown is aluxurious white mink stole; upon closer examination, the fur turns out to be feathers.

Other eye-catching pieces: Raoul Pene Du Bois’ Tony-winning set designs for WonderfulTown, a 1953 Broadway musical about two Columbus women in New York; a painted dancefloor under shifting theatrical lights by artist Caroline Beasley-Baker for the Bebe MillerDance Company; and designs for Kenley Players (Fanny, The Unsinkable Molly Brown), theNew York Shakespeare Festival’s The Tempest (1995) and the OSU world premieres of twoLawrence and Lee plays, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail (1970) and Jabberwock (1971).

Many pieces are intriguing primarily for their behind-thescenes quality. Three-dimensionalmodels of scenic designs or lighting maps that resemble architectural blueprints invitespeculation about how they fit into the larger artistic vision of a production.

Several pieces stake a claim to be taken seriously as art, resembling abstract orimpressionistic paintings or sculptures.

Couch hopes visitors emerge from the exhibit with a greater appreciation of design artists.

‘‘We don’t really even notice that work when we go to the theater, and that’s OK becauseit’s all part of the collaborative process and it shouldn’t take too much attention," she said.

‘‘But these beautiful pieces also stand on their own after the production is gone asindividual pieces of art."
