A German family fell in love with the Pacific Northwest after visiting in the 1950s and decided to start a family in Tacoma. Their longstanding connection to the city led to the biggest donation in the Tacoma Art Museum's history - a new 16,000 square foot wing to house one of the largest American West art collections in the nation.

Review - The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon - Arthur Waley translation - Present...
The document discusses Arthur Waley's 1928 translation of Sei Shōnagon's 11th century Japanese work "The Pillow Book". It notes that Waley was an influential Orientalist and Sinologist known for translating works from Chinese and Japanese to English. However, historians have issues with Waley's translation of "The Pillow Book" as it was incomplete, omitted certain parts of the original text, and overlapped with Waley's own voice and perspective as an Englishman. Nonetheless, the translation was not without merit and still conveyed some of Sei Shōnagon's artistic expression and voice.

The Kagey Mansion was built in 1924 in Hollywood, Florida by real estate salesman Jack Kagey using his $5,000 cash prize winning from property sales. Over the decades, the mansion changed owners and uses, including being a funeral home from 1960-1990. In 1991, the mansion was turned over to the Hollywood Art and Culture Center to serve as their new location, allowing them to expand programming and preserve the original features of the historic 1920s home.

Note the lovely illustrations from this 19th century edition. They are by Gustave Doré, an incredibly prolific illustrator of the 19th century; see this page from the Musée d”Orsay in Paris on an exhibit on the artist & his work:

Very simple: compare and contrast these two sets of stories.
· Background
Charles Perrault (1628-1703) was a member of the Académie Française and a leading intellectual of his time. Ironically, his dialogue Parallèles des anciens et des modernes(Parallels between the Ancients and the Moderns), 1688-1697, which compared the authors of antiquity unfavorably to modern writers, served as a forerunner for the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, an era that was not always receptive to tales of magic and fantasy.
Perrault published these "fairy tales" (a genre he defined, if not invented) under his son Pierre's name, certain that a serious man such as himself should not be associated with stories of this kind.
Never out-of-date, 2015 saw the release of another Cinderella film (there have been countless)
and a Google Doodle for Perrault.

1585: John White paints Virginia
From "A New Literary History of America"
© 2009 Harvard University Press (cloth) © 2012 Harvard University Press
"COUNTERFEITED ACCORDING TO THE TRUTH"
England's first attempt to plant a self-sustaining colony in America was a short-lived affair. The "Cittie of
Raleigh," established in 1587 in the Outer Banks of what is now North Carolina, fared poorly in its first
months and by August the colonial governor, John White, was forced to return to England for supplies. He
never reunited with the members of what has become known as the Lost Colony, and the English would not
boast a successful settlement in America until the Jamestown colonists discovered the value of tobacco as a
commercial crop in the early 1600s. But if England's early expeditions to Virginia during the 1580s faile ...
4.5 british ig
The British Independent Group formed in 1952 and rebelled against the elitism of the British art establishment. They embraced popular culture like movies, music, and advertising. While British society suffered economically, American advertising depicted a glamorous, abundant culture. The Independent Group held exhibitions that implemented a non-hierarchical aesthetic, including installations with figures like Marilyn Monroe and robots. They are widely regarded as founding the Pop art movement through works like Richard Hamilton's 1956 collage made entirely from advertisements.
A permanent Japonisme display [New Jersey]
The Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University has inaugurated the first permanent display devoted to Japonisme, the international aesthetic movement documenting the cultural exchange between Japan and the West from the mid-19th to early 20th century. Though the works are not masterpieces, the gallery effectively presents the admiration, disdain, and misunderstandings Western artists had in adapting Japanese culture in their works. It also shows the positive and negative depictions Japanese artists had when incorporating Western culture into their works. The display provides rich evidence of the shaping of 19th-century European modernism and East Asian art through this cultural exchange.
19. pop art lo res
Pop art emerged in the 1950s in England when a group of artists called The Independent Group began celebrating mass-produced popular culture like advertising, films, and music instead of rejecting it. Eduardo Paolozzi and Richard Hamilton are considered the fathers of British pop art, with Paolozzi making collages from comics and magazines in 1947. By the 1960s, a pop art movement was underway in America as well, centered in New York. Artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and James Rosenquist began creating work reflecting American culture and consumerism as a new way to make art relevant to modern experiences. Pop art had a huge influence in changing how people view everyday objects as aesthetically beautiful things in our lives
Animal artist (1)
This document provides biographical information about two artists: Melchior d'Hondecoeter and Franz Marc.
Melchior d'Hondecoeter was a 17th century Dutch painter known for his paintings of birds in landscapes. He came from a family of artists and painted exotic birds throughout his career. Franz Marc was a 20th century German painter and was one of the founders of the Der Blaue Reiter art movement. He incorporated vivid colors and spiritual themes in his paintings of animals. Tragically, Franz Marc died in World War I at the age of 36, but not before creating influential Expressionist works.

- 1. German retailer Erivan Haub and his wife Helga honeymooned in the Pacific Northwest during the 1950s and fell in love with the area so much they decided to start a family here. The longstanding connection between Tacoma and the Haub family has led to the biggest gift in Tacoma Art Museum’s history. The new 16,000-square-foot museum wing along Pacific Avenue holds one of the largest American West art exhibits in the nation. Curator Laura Fry guided us through it wearing her red cowboy boots, adding great insight and fun facts about the surrounding art. T H E M O S T W A N T E D M U S E U M T A C O M A ’ S N E W A M E R I C A N W E S T C O L L E C T I O N I S A H U G E D R A W BY HALEY HAMILTON PHOTOS BY RACHEL COWARD 53
- 2. When you walk into the gallery, a sculpture by Alexander Phimister Proctor of a cowboy at the Pendleton Roundup greets you. After posing for Proctor, the cowboy was arrested for stealing horses. The scandalous act made it difficult for Proctor to find a home for his art, but today it makes it even more interesting. The Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington has been used on the U.S. dollar for more than a century. What better state for ole cherry- tree-choppin’ George to find a home? Fun fact: Washington reportedly was really into interior design. Cubism in Western American art? Who knew? Ed Mell painted the landscape of the American West with geometric shapes. The artfully designed galleries are made with Richlite, an eco-friendly material made of paper that is manufactured by Tacoma-based Richlite Company. 54
- 3. Bill Schenck, a friend of the late artist Andy Warhol, captured the often-one-sided storytelling of the Western cowboy in Hollywood with his pop art-inspired painting. The neon-colored buffalo by John Nieto shakes up the common misconception that all American West art only uses only shades of dust and dry red clay. The TAM signature pops of red greet you as you walk in the expansive new lobby, perfect for a private party or enjoying a scenic view of the Sound and Mount Rainer. There is an audio guide for the new exhibit narrated in part by Western cinema legend Clint Eastwood. The Haub family donated 295 works that will stay with the museum permanently. The new exhibit features 130 of those pieces and is open until November. TAM is scheduled to open a Georgia O’Keeffe exhibit in the new wing in March featuring more than 20 original O’Keeffe paintings. TAM is open 10am-5pm Wednesday-Sunday and every third Thursday of the month from 10am-8pm. Adult admission is $9 and $25 for families. On third Thursdays, admission is free! tacomaartmuseum.org No detail was overlooked in designing the new wing. Haub curator Laura Fry debated between multiple paint samples before finding the perfect shades to complement the art. 55
