Natural History
July 28–October 14
Natural History
Forum 69
July 28–October 14
Natural History brings together a wide range
of contemporary art from the museum’s
permanent collection to explore artists’
engagement with nature, landscape, and
the built environment. Including painting,
sculpture, photography, and video works,
Natural History offers a non-traditional and
playful presentation of relevant themes run-
ning through contemporary art and directly
engages with our neighbor, Carnegie
Museum of Natural History.
Collectively, the artists in the exhibition
explore the ways in which humans under-
stand and visualize our natural environ-
ment; the social and cultural meanings
embedded in the tradition of landscape pho-
tography and painting; the use of natural
motifs for formal experimentation; environ-
mentalism; and the legacy of Romanticism,
as it pertains to nature and the sublime.
Artists include Mel Bochner, Vija Celmins,
John Divola, Fischli & Weiss, Llyn Foulkes,
Rachel Harrison, Richard Hughes, Laura
Owens, Ed Ruscha, Hiroshi Sugito, Paul
Thek, and James Welling.
Whistler and Rebellion in the
Art World
August 4–December 9
James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834–1903)
was one of the most deliberately conten-
tious, witty, and fiercely independent artists
of his generation. Whistler rebelled against
the established art world and resisted alle-
giances with avant-garde movements such
as Impressionism. One of the most eminent
advocates of the “art for art’s sake” phi-
losophy of Aestheticism, he is considered
by many to be among the best printmak-
ers in art history. This exhibition presents
the museum’s impressive collection of
Whistler’s aesthetically radical prints and
drawings, revealing the evolution of his
career in relation to his towering persona
and place in the 19th-century art world.
Impressionism in a New Light: From Monet to Stieglitz
May 12–August 26
Impressionism in a New Light: From Monet to Stieglitz features more than 150 works by
many of the most important artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawn
primarily from the museum’s significant collection, the exhibition recaptures the radical
nature of the Impressionist movement and explores its influences in many forms. Including
beloved works by artists such as Cassatt, Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Monet,
Pissarro, Renoir, and Seurat, Impressionism in a New Light also examines the visual
dialogue between Impressionism and the Pictorialist movement in photography, intermixing
photographs by Demachy, Käsebier, Stieglitz, Steichen, White, and others. This exhibition
investigates the complicated nature of Impressionist art, transforming our understanding
of these enduringly popular works.
Presented by EQT. See page 14 for the
complete list of exhibition sponsors.

May 17: Henri Matisse: The Thousand and
One Nights
$30 ($24 members)
Late in his life, confined to his bed and
unable to paint, Henri Matisse was still
driven to create. Curator of fine arts Louise
Lippincott leads this look at Matisse’s multi-
panel paper cut-out The Thousand and One
Nights, an exuberant and inventive approach
to symbolic storytelling created when he was
81 years old.
June 14: The Art of Pictorialist Photographers
$30 ($24 members)
Photography had a significant impact on
the way artists began to see, and record,
their world in the late 19th century. Like
Impressionist painters, Pictorialist photog-
raphers also gathered together in loose-knit
societies where they shared an interest
in exquisitely crafted, unique prints that
revealed new ideas about modern subjects,
focus, and “finish.” Join Linda Benedict-
Jones, co-curator of Impressionism in a New
Light, to explore how photography was carv-
ing out its new place in the art world.
July 12: Impressionism in a New Light
$30 ($24 members)
Join Amanda Zehnder, co-curator of the exhi-
bition, to investigate the complex nature of
Impressionism as a unique social and artistic
scene; as a style of painting associated with
certain subjects; and as a term related to
optics and expression.
August 9: Oakland: Pittsburgh’s City Beautiful
Movement
$45 ($39 members)
Jean-François Raffaëlli’s 1899 painting
Schenley Park, Pittsburg, on view in the

as Pittsburgh’s response to the “City
Beautiful” movement. Amanda Zehnder,
co-curator of the exhibition, introduces the
painting and teams up with Tracy Myers,

our City Beautiful neighborhood, includ-
ing the museum, Phipps Conservatory, and
Schenley Park, ending with lunch in the his-
toric Schenley Park Café and Visitor Center.

Photography
Saturday, June 9, 6:30–8 p.m.
Galleries open until 9 p.m.
Free; Reception follows
At the turn of the last century, world-
renowned photographer Alfred Stieglitz
was “determined that photography would
be accepted as art.” He championed
Pictorialism as the process that would
achieve this end. Join us for an interest-
ing and wide-ranging discussion in which
four contemporary photographers—whose
work is informed by the history of photog-
raphy and its various processes—discuss
their thoughts and ideas on photography’s
foundational elements: Light, Time, and
Apparatus. They’ll offer reflection on these
influences in the creation of their work with
an emphasis on control of the art during a
time of commercial standardization and how
this is used to counter the anonymous qual-
ity of much of contemporary photography.
Presented with F295: Continued Explorations
of 21st Century Photography Conference,
June 7–10. To register for the full confer-
ence, visit www.f295.org/2012.

“truth,” and create narratives based on per-
sonal experiences. The museum will screen

Art21 this summer; visit www.cmoa.org for
details.
This event is part of Art21 Access ’12, a
celebration of contemporary art and Art

information.
June 21: Why Does That Color Look Like
That Color?
Scientific theories about color, light, and
human perception abounded in the 19th
century and were discussed and debated
by Impressionist artists. Join Amanda
Zehnder, co-curator of Impressionism in a
New Light, for an observation-based discus-
sion, and have fun with some color-theory
experiments to discover the impact of
scientific thinking on Impressionist methods
for representing optical experiences, move-
ment, light, and colors.
July 19: Old Materials, New Architecture
Abandoned garage doors, used tires, 72,000
carpet tiles, old shipping containers…
how have these and other unconventional
materials resulted in creative solutions
to architectural challenges and social
inequities? Works by inventive architects
including Samuel Mockbee and Teddy Cruz,
on view in the Heinz Architectural Center,
have done just that. Find inspiration in the
galleries and put your own creativity to the
test as you experiment with some unusual
building materials.

The cafés, cabarets, music halls, and out-

as the crossroads for bourgeois and bohe-
mian cultures. The unknown, wealthy,

known establishments including Le Chat
Noir, Le Mirliton, Le Moulin Rouge, Café
Guerbois, and later, La Nouvelle-Athènes.
Join us for an evening evoking the environ-
ment of a bawdy Parisian cabaret from La
Belle Époque. Members of the Pittsburgh

  • 1. exhibitions lectures & events activities for kids & families adult studio classes This Season May/June/July/Aug/12
  • 2. Natural History July 28–October 14 Natural History Forum 69 July 28–October 14 Natural History brings together a wide range of contemporary art from the museum’s permanent collection to explore artists’ engagement with nature, landscape, and the built environment. Including painting, sculpture, photography, and video works, Natural History offers a non-traditional and playful presentation of relevant themes run- ning through contemporary art and directly engages with our neighbor, Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Collectively, the artists in the exhibition explore the ways in which humans under- stand and visualize our natural environ- ment; the social and cultural meanings embedded in the tradition of landscape pho- tography and painting; the use of natural motifs for formal experimentation; environ- mentalism; and the legacy of Romanticism, as it pertains to nature and the sublime. Artists include Mel Bochner, Vija Celmins, John Divola, Fischli & Weiss, Llyn Foulkes, Rachel Harrison, Richard Hughes, Laura Owens, Ed Ruscha, Hiroshi Sugito, Paul Thek, and James Welling. Whistler and Rebellion in the Art World August 4–December 9 James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834–1903) was one of the most deliberately conten- tious, witty, and fiercely independent artists of his generation. Whistler rebelled against the established art world and resisted alle- giances with avant-garde movements such as Impressionism. One of the most eminent advocates of the “art for art’s sake” phi- losophy of Aestheticism, he is considered by many to be among the best printmak- ers in art history. This exhibition presents the museum’s impressive collection of Whistler’s aesthetically radical prints and drawings, revealing the evolution of his career in relation to his towering persona and place in the 19th-century art world. Impressionism in a New Light: From Monet to Stieglitz May 12–August 26 Impressionism in a New Light: From Monet to Stieglitz features more than 150 works by many of the most important artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawn primarily from the museum’s significant collection, the exhibition recaptures the radical nature of the Impressionist movement and explores its influences in many forms. Including beloved works by artists such as Cassatt, Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, and Seurat, Impressionism in a New Light also examines the visual dialogue between Impressionism and the Pictorialist movement in photography, intermixing photographs by Demachy, Käsebier, Stieglitz, Steichen, White, and others. This exhibition investigates the complicated nature of Impressionist art, transforming our understanding of these enduringly popular works. Presented by EQT. See page 14 for the complete list of exhibition sponsors. >> Opening Event: The Art and Music of Avant-Garde Paris presented with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Saturday, May 12 $20 ($10 Carnegie Museums and PSO members); Students free with valid university ID; Registration is required; Call 412.622.3288 or visit www.cmoa.org to register.

The symphony’s music director Manfred Honeck and concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley will join museum curators Amanda Zehnder and Linda Benedict-Jones, along with moderator Mary Davis, professor of musicology at Case Western Reserve University, to explore the parallels of Impressionist art and music during this era of rebellion and innovation. The event culminates with Debussy’s Danse sacrée et danse profane (Dances for Harp and Strings) performed by PSO musicians Shanshan Yao, violin; Meng Wang, viola; David Premo, cello; and Gretchen Van Hoesen, harp.

The dialogue continues over a light lunch in the Carnegie Café unless noted otherwise. Price includes lunch. May 17: Henri Matisse: The Thousand and One Nights $30 ($24 members) Late in his life, confined to his bed and unable to paint, Henri Matisse was still driven to create. Curator of fine arts Louise Lippincott leads this look at Matisse’s multi- panel paper cut-out The Thousand and One Nights, an exuberant and inventive approach to symbolic storytelling created when he was 81 years old. June 14: The Art of Pictorialist Photographers $30 ($24 members) Photography had a significant impact on the way artists began to see, and record, their world in the late 19th century. Like Impressionist painters, Pictorialist photog- raphers also gathered together in loose-knit societies where they shared an interest in exquisitely crafted, unique prints that revealed new ideas about modern subjects, focus, and “finish.” Join Linda Benedict- Jones, co-curator of Impressionism in a New Light, to explore how photography was carv- ing out its new place in the art world. July 12: Impressionism in a New Light $30 ($24 members) Join Amanda Zehnder, co-curator of the exhi- bition, to investigate the complex nature of Impressionism as a unique social and artistic scene; as a style of painting associated with certain subjects; and as a term related to optics and expression. August 9: Oakland: Pittsburgh’s City Beautiful Movement $45 ($39 members) Jean-François Raffaëlli’s 1899 painting Schenley Park, Pittsburg, on view in the exhibition Impressionism in a New Light, coincides with the emergence of Oakland as Pittsburgh’s response to the “City Beautiful” movement. Amanda Zehnder, co-curator of the exhibition, introduces the painting and teams up with Tracy Myers, curator of architecture, to lead a tour of our City Beautiful neighborhood, includ- ing the museum, Phipps Conservatory, and Schenley Park, ending with lunch in the his- toric Schenley Park Café and Visitor Center.

Join us for an interest- ing and wide-ranging discussion in which four contemporary photographers—whose work is informed by the history of photog- raphy and its various processes—discuss their thoughts and ideas on photography’s foundational elements: Light, Time, and Apparatus. They’ll offer reflection on these influences in the creation of their work with an emphasis on control of the art during a time of commercial standardization and how this is used to counter the anonymous qual- ity of much of contemporary photography. Presented with F295: Continued Explorations of 21st Century Photography Conference, June 7–10. To register for the full confer- ence, visit www.f295.org/2012.

June 21: Why Does That Color Look Like That Color? Scientific theories about color, light, and human perception abounded in the 19th century and were discussed and debated by Impressionist artists. Join Amanda Zehnder, co-curator of Impressionism in a New Light, for an observation-based discus- sion, and have fun with some color-theory experiments to discover the impact of scientific thinking on Impressionist methods for representing optical experiences, move- ment, light, and colors. July 19: Old Materials, New Architecture Abandoned garage doors, used tires, 72,000 carpet tiles, old shipping containers… how have these and other unconventional materials resulted in creative solutions to architectural challenges and social inequities? Works by inventive architects including Samuel Mockbee and Teddy Cruz, on view in the Heinz Architectural Center, have done just that. Find inspiration in the galleries and put your own creativity to the test as you experiment with some unusual building materials.

The unknown, wealthy, famous, and infamous mingled with artists, writers, musicians, and performers in well- known establishments including Le Chat Noir, Le Mirliton, Le Moulin Rouge, Café Guerbois, and later, La Nouvelle-Athènes. Join us for an evening evoking the environ- ment of a bawdy Parisian cabaret from La Belle Époque. Members of the Pittsburgh Song Collaborative will perform period French songs (accompanied by English sub- titles or translated into English) originally sung by Yvette Guilbert, Aristide Bruant, and others. The emcee, played by Rob Frankenberry, will be your guide through musical selections, comedic monologues, and satirical skits. Projected images of art- work will help emphasize the role that café culture played for Impressionist artists. Featured performers also include Benjamin Binder, piano; Rob Frankenberry, tenor and piano; Liza Forrester, mezzo-soprano; and Joseph Gaines, tenor. www.cmoa.org Check the website for a complete, updated schedule of classes and programs.
