Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured
works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in
Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by
David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.

Paul and Eve fall in love, but they soon face a dark threat when a mysterious sickness infects them as it spreads throughout the whole city -- and possibly the world.

Abstract: This
talk will summarize my forthcoming chapter in the edited volume Teaching Islamic
Studies in the Age of ISIS, Islamophobia, and the Internet (ed.
C. Dorroll, Indiana University Press, March 2019). I will discuss some
strategies that I think any faculty member can use to address student questions
or concerns regarding Islam, based on a specific methodology of teaching as a virtue-based practice
that I utilize in my Introduction to Islam course at Wofford. Lunch provided for faculty attendees. Just tell
the AVI folks that you are a part of the Faculty Talk Series.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured
works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in
Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by
David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.

Paul and Eve fall in love, but they soon face a dark threat when a mysterious sickness infects them as it spreads throughout the whole city -- and possibly the world.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.

Wofford Theatre presents: The Danube, Jerome Johnson Richardson Theatre
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Join us this fall in the Jerome Johnson Richardson Theatre as Wofford Theatre presents The Danube, a stirring drama by Obie Award-winning avant garde playwright Maria Irene Fornes.
Directed by Dan Day, The Danube is set in 1930s Budapest, where a young American businessman, Paul Green, meets a Hungarian bureaucrat and his daughter, Eve. Paul and Eve fall in love, but they soon face a dark threat when a mysterious sickness infects them as it spreads throughout the whole city -- and possibly the world.
Longtime Village Voice theatre critic Michael Feingold called The Danube "One of the most startlingly original and devastating things I can ever remember seeing on a stage."
The play runs Nov. 8-10 and 14-17, at 8 PM each night. Student tickets are $5, faculty tickets are $12, and tickets for the general public are $15. Purchase in advance at www.wofford.edu/boxoffice or on the Wofford Theatre Facebook page to take advantage of our special online discount! Same-day online sales close at 5 PM each day, and the box office opens at 6 PM in the lobby of the Arts Center. Seating will be limited and by general admission only, so be sure to arrive early to claim a great seat! Unclaimed tickets will be released to the public five minutes before showtime, and no admission will be permitted after the performance begins.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured
works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in
Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by
David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.
