3. ART
FABRIC OF SURVIVAL see page 4 – 6
Esther Nisenthal Krinitz (1927-2007)
used fabric arts to tell her story of
surviving the Holocaust in Poland. The
nationally touring exhibition of her
work, THROUGH THE EYE OF THE
NEEDLE – FABRIC OF SURVIVAL will
be presented in the Old Gallery from
September 7 – November 30.
In 1942, 15-year-old Krinitz
and her 13-year-old sister left
their family and ran away when
the Jews of their village were
ordered by the Nazis to report
to a nearby train station. The
sisters evaded the Gestapo for
two years by pretending to be
part of a Catholic farm family.
In 1977 at the age of 50, Krinitz
began creating works of fabric
art to tell her story of survival.
Trained as a dressmaker but
with no formal education in
art, she created 36 remarkable
fabric pictures with strong, vivid
images and folk art realism.
She meticulously stitched the
narrative of her story beneath
each picture.
The textiles reveal an incongruity
between the beauty of the
pastoral landscape and the
violence, terror and betrayal
the sisters experienced
on their journey. Although
Krinitz created her art for her
family, her daughters Bernice
Steinhardt and Helene McQuade
believed her art deserved to
be seen by a wider audience.
They established a non-profit
educational organization to
create a traveling exhibition of
their mother’s art.

On Friday, October 17, at
1 p.m. in the Evansville Museum’s
Old Gallery, Jon Kay, Director
of Traditional Arts Indiana, will
present a program on “Memory,
Art and Aging” that specifically
looks at folk art as a strategy
of successful aging. Kay, an
assistant research scholar in
the Department of Folklore and
Ethnomusicology at Indiana
University, was named the 2013-
2014 Archie Green Fellow at
the American Folklife Center,
Library of Congress and is a
consulting curator at the Mathers
Museum of World Cultures in
Bloomington, Indiana.
Kay will address the importance
of life review and art-making to
the successful aging process in
the lives of seniors. The program
will include a presentation of
case studies from his years of
working with senior folk artists.
He will share his observations
about how and why seniors
make and use art and its impact
on their daily lives. From colorful
walking sticks and quilts to
paintings and hooked rugs,
seniors make art to reflect upon
their lives, record their memories,
and to share their stories with
others. Kay will probe these
three distinct aspects of art
making and explore what we
can learn from them. Seniors are
encouraged to bring examples
of their art projects to show and
share at this gathering.

MY CHILDHOOD HOME
In conjunction with the
program, the exhibition Tell
People the Story: The Art of
Gustav Potthoff will be on
view. The exhibition shares
the life and work of Gustav
Potthoff, a memory painter
who paints to remember
his fellow prisoners of war,
who, as captives of the
Japanese, were forced to
build the Burma Thailand
Railway during World War II.
Concerned that more than
16,000 people who died
constructing the bridge
over the River Kwai and the
Hellfire Pass will be forgotten,
the artist paints to tell their
story and to make peace with
his wartime memories.
4. Art and Remembrance
Founders Bernice Steinhardt
and Helene McQuade to Share
Reflections on their Mother’s Art
On Sunday, September 14, 2014
at 2:00 pm in the Old Gallery, the
founders of Art and Remembrance, an
arts and education non-profit based
in Maryland, will present a program
in conjunction with the exhibition
Through the Eye of the Needle – Fabric
of Survival.
Art and Remembrance brings the work
and story of Holocaust survivor and
fabric artist Esther Nisenthal Krinitz to
a wider audience. The founders wanted
to maximize the educational potential
of her art and unique story and
promote the use of art and personal
memoir as tools for promoting healing
and awareness.
Art and Remembrance was founded by
Krinitz’s daughters, Bernice Steinhardt
and Helene McQuade. Steinhardt and
McQuade grew up with the stories of
Margaret McMullan will Discuss
Holocaust Research through the
Lens of her own Family Members
Margaret McMullan is the author of six award-winning adult and young adult novels
including In My Mother’s House, a Pen/Faulkner nominee and Sources of Light, which was
nominated for the National Book Award. Margaret has received a National Endowment
of the Arts Fellowship in literature and a Fulbright grant to research and teach at the
University of Pécs in Pécs, Hungary. She is the National Author Winner of the Eugene
and Marilyn Glick Indiana Authors Award and she currently holds the Melvin Peterson
Endowed Chair in Creative Writing and Literature at the University of Evansville. Recently,
she edited Every Father’s Daughter, an anthology of essays about fathers by daughters
with an introduction by Phillip Lopate, due out in spring 2015. Her novel-in-stories
Aftermath Lounge is also due in spring 2015.
Author and University of Evansville professor Margaret McMullan will talk
about her search for a forgotten family member, Richárd Engel de Jánosi.
De Jánosi died at Mauthausen Concentration Camp in Mauthausen, Austria.
On Sunday, October 26 at 2 p.m., McMullan will discuss the journey that led
her to Israel, Hungary, and finally to Mauthausen.
In the course of her research, McMullan was able to piece together the life of
her great uncle de Jánosi, one of 4,000 Hungarian Jews who were taken to
concentration camps and murdered during the last months of World War II.
Sixty-four years later, McMullan returned to Pécs, Hungary, with her own family
to learn about de Jánosi’s life so that he might be properly remembered.
Margaret wrote about the Engel de Jánosi family in her forthcoming memoir,
Where The Angels Lived.

this collaborative effort between many
of the area’s major organizations and
institutions. The Evansville Museum

their mother’s courage and suffering as
a child during the war. Years later, after
Krinitz began to turn her stories into
a narrated series of fabric art pictures,
they realized the incredible power their
mother’s art and her stitched narratives
had. Together, art and story could
help people understand what war and
intolerance are and how they feel to
those who endure them.
The organization has produced the
nationally touring exhibition of Krinitz’s
work, published the award-winning
book Memories of Survival, developed
and distributed curricula for students
from elementary through high school

Pays Tribute to the
Preservation of Nature
ON NATURE’S TERMS: THE WILDERNESS PAINTINGS OF THOMAS
PAQUETTE is a contemplation of special places where nature dominates.
Fifty years after the Wilderness Act was signed into law in 1964, this
exhibition celebrates the places preserved by that law – places that thrive
not by industry and scientific progress but by the forces of nature alone,
protected from significant human intrusion.
Pennsylvania artist Thomas Paquette was inspired to create the collection
by his visits to federal wilderness areas all around the country during
the last two years. The diversity and vitality of the environments that
comprise the National Wilderness Preservation System – from southwest
canyons and high peaks, to east and west seashores, and lowland swamps
and deserts – are reflected in these oil and gouache paintings.
In addition to the December 14, 2014 – March 8, 2015 presentation at the
Evansville Museum, the exhibition will be shown in California and New
York during 2014 and 2015.

City’s Brewing
History
From July 27 - October 5 in the Evansville
Convention and Visitors Bureau Center for
History and Science, BOTTLED AND KEGGED:
A TOAST TO EVANSVILLE’S BREWERIES
recalls an important part of our city’s history.
Since the 1830s, breweries have played a key
role in the story of Evansville. This exhibition
will examine historic breweries of the city and
illustrate the continuation of this tradition in
current Evansville enterprises.
Evansville’s first brewery opened in 1837.
Historically known as the Old Brewery, many
of the other significant breweries in Evansville
trace their origins to this enterprise, including
F. W. Cook and Sterling. The interpretation of
the history of these two breweries is central to
the exhibition.
In 1853, F.W. Cook and Louis Rice, both
second generation Germans, began Cook
and Rice City Brewery in Evansville. The
brewery grew to sell more than 500,000
barrels per year, and it was incorporated
as F. W. Cook Brewing Company in 1885.
Following prohibition, its “Goldblume Beer”
was the top seller in the nation. In 1955, an
unresolved labor dispute led to the plant’s
closing; and in the early 1960s, the Cook
structures were demolished in preparation
for the new Civic Center Complex.
The company that bottled Evansville’s famous
Sterling brand was founded in 1894. It was
located at the northwest corner of what
is now the Lloyd Expressway and Fulton
Avenue. During Prohibition, the company
bottled non-alcoholic drinks under the name
Sterling Products. In 1964, the company
merged with Associated Brewing Company of
Detroit, and it became part of the G. Heilman
Brewing Company of LaCrosse, Wisconsin in
1972. After G. Heilman ceased production in
the city in 1988, the facility reopened as the
Evansville Brewing Company and continued in
operation until 1997.
Today, Evansville’s rich tradition of brewing
is carried on by Tin Man Brewing Company,
Carson’s Brewery and Turoni’s Pizzery &
Brewery. The stories of Evansville’s breweries
are a vital facet of our city’s heritage.

From Grain to Glass
16
Join us on Friday, September 19
at 5:00 p.m. for the presentation
“From Grain To Glass,” an overview of
the production of craft beer on the
industrial scale. Tin Man Brewhouse
operations manager Keenan Zarling
will discuss the process of craft
brewing from the raw materials to
packaged beer. Different ingredients
and processes are used to craft many
different types of beer, and Zarling
will explain the impact that each
choice has on the beer in your glass.
Keenan Zarling began his brewing
career by studying Brewing
Technology at the Siebel Institute
in Chicago and the Doemens
Academy in Munich. Originally from
Austin, Texas, he was a prominent
member of the brewing team and
resident quality control technician
at Independence Brewing before
moving to Evansville with his wife
to help launch Tin Man Brewing in
2012. As the Brewhouse operations
manager for Tin Man, he is
responsible for development of new
recipes and processes, ensuring the
production of high quality, craft beer.
Prior to working in the brewing
industry, Keenan received his
undergraduate degree from the
University of Texas at Austin
in Theatrical Performance and
Playwriting. In his spare time, he
gardens, cooks, bakes, reads the
occasional good book, and of
course, drinks beer.
