Kimono Decoded
Along Hiroshige’s Tokaido Road

a lecture by Ann Marie Moeller
The George Washington University
Museum and The Textile Museum
701 21st Street, NW
Free; no reservations required
Japanese textile scholar and independent curator
Ann Marie Moeller will explore how the kimono
worn by Hiroshige's subjects proclaim their social
status, how enforced "plainness" resulted in a
sophisticated and subtle chic, and how commoners
circumvented the shogun's sumptuary laws.
Presented in conjunction with the Luther W. Brady Art
Gallery's exhibition Along the Eastern Road: Hiroshige’s
Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido, and made possible by
a generous grant from the Japan Foundation, New York.

12. PRESENCE OF THE
PORTRAIT
Michael Green
It has been almost 30 years since Michael’s untimely demise. But
in the words of GW Professor Arthur Hall Smith, “The painter’s
life would seem best measured not by its length but by its
intensity.”*
This case display shows selected works on paper and small
paintings from a short time span, apparently when Michael
was experimenting with many formal ideas, some preliminary
sketches, and some printmaking. The overriding theme we have
chosen is the “presence” of the portrait. Thus, it is a pendant to
the exhibition inside the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery, Absence/
Presence: Selected Contemporary Photography.
The works are colorful and intense, with penetrating gazes, and
readily identifiable with some of Green’s “artistic presences from
the past…Chaim Soutine and Henri Matisse.”*
We are grateful to Marc Albert and Stephen Tschida for loaning
the pieces that make up the majority of this exhibition. These
items are included in a collection that is a promised gift to the
George Washington University’s Permanent Collection.

Summertime
and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
and the cotton is high…
- Porgy and Bess
Nature in Art
Art in Nature
When Ella Fitzgerald sings those words from the jazz standard “Summertime” she
conveys the feel of a languid summer night in cotton country. Her buttery voice
draws out like the humid air on a hot late-afternoon porch. But this is only one vision
of summer. What does “Summertime” mean to you? From watching Independence
Day fireworks on the Mall to camping with your family, from BBQing hamburgers
and corn to playing softball or curling up with a book while a fierce summer storm
rolls through, there are so many ways to enjoy summer in Washington, D.C.
At the Luther W. Brady Art Gallery the summer months are a time of rejuvenation
and renewal. It is when we have the bronze sculptures on campus waxed and other
sculptures get much needed conservation and cleaning as visitors to campus wane.
This activity happens largely “behind the scenes” of the Brady Art Gallery, but we
do it so the George Washington University community can enjoy their outdoor
sculpture for many years to come.
These works of art are out in the elements, although they need annual care and
conservation, they are meant to stay in their current places on a permanent basis.
This is not the case for all outdoor sculpture, some is meant to eventually decay while
other projects are only envisioned to stay installed temporarily.
Even when the weather forces you inside, artists have found ways of bringing nature
in, from incorporating natural elements in their work to depicting a landscape that
was created en plein air to best convey the scene to the viewer. This exhibition aims
to help you enjoy nature and the GW Permanent Collection both in and out of
doors, experiencing summertime rain or shine.
The Luther W. Brady Art Gallery would like to thank Susi Cora for
her involvement with this exhibition and GW Events and Venues
for their loan of the space for this exhibition.

17. WHAT IS AN ARTIST’S BOOK?
What is an artist’s book and how can it be defined? The diversity of
artists’ books makes it difficult to define the exact nature of these art
pieces. According to Franklin Furnace, an avant-garde performance art
and fine arts nonprofit, “An artist’s book is an object whose primary
medium is the idea, as opposed to an object that is valuable by virtue
of the materials from which it is made.”1
This is a clarifying definition
because it showcases how artists’ books are works of art realized in the
form of a book, rather than a traditional medium. There are numerous
types and categories of artists’ books, including altered books, fine
binding and printing, works on paper, and book objects. Many fit into
more than one category.
Some of the examples here are by artists for whom the book is not
their primary medium, but an extension of artistic investigations in
other media expressed in the form of a book. Others are by artists who
conceptualize art primarily through the medium of the book, combining
typography, printmaking, drawing, sewing, binding, paper-folding,
painting and a myriad of other skills to craft hand-made books in small
editions.
The Art & Design Collection from the Corcoran began as a resource
for graduate students in the Art and the Book program, and has now
become a comprehensive collection of book arts, and includes a number
of books made by Corcoran and GW students, faculty, and alumni. This
exhibit displays only a sampling of pieces from the collection. These and
many others can be viewed in the Special Collections Research Center at
GW’s Gelman Library.
