How does a sports medicine physician with no artistic background or talent spearhead an effort to create a museum exhibition and accompanying monograph about the Indiana artist C. Curry Bohm? I believe it goes back to a sunny Sunday afternoon in March 2013. I walked into a bright sunlight drenched gallery where I was instantaneously awestruck by C. Curry Bohm’s Heart of the Village. The painting’s energy, passion, light, and joyful recollection of beautiful sunny fall days immediately struck me with an overwhelming emotional response of happiness that I had never encountered in a painting. If Bohm’s work could elicit that emotional response in me, I believed others in the art community could also enjoy an in depth look at the work of this wonderful Brown County artist.

Marcel Mouly (1918-2008) has been called the last of the "School of Paris," the artist community in and around Paris that experienced its first wave from the late 19th century through the outbreak of World War II. As a young man, he was introduced to School of Paris artists when instructed to copy paintings by some of its most celebrated figures: Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Georges Braque. Towards the end of the war, Mouly emerged as a prominent figure among the School of Paris' second generation when he exhibited at the esteemed Salon de Automne in 1943. Continuing to make art and exhibit up until his death, he was the last artist of the Parisian circle to live well into the first decade of the 21st century.
Remembering Pearl Harbor provides an overview of the events surrounding the attack and shares personal stories of the era. Key to the telling of these stories is the collection of Rex Knight, a Hoosier who began collecting Pearl Harbor artifacts in 1999. The collection tells the lesser-known, intimate, and individual stories that occurred just before, during, and immediately following the attack. The Knight collection uses surviving artifacts from the attack to introduce some of these stories, of both Americans and Japanese. The collection is an ongoing study in matching a personal human history with a surviving artifact. Also key to the interpretation are items from the Indiana Military Museum in Vincennes, Indiana, and from the collection of the Evansville Museum.
This exhibition developed from a class project at Johns Hopkins University. Five graduate students— Joanne Sidlovsky Grant, Lindsay Nathanson, Melinda Skinner, Tory Schendel Cox, and Michele Stewart—created this installation as a proposal for the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. With the theme of justice, the group paralleled Mesopotamian law codes, or the Code of Hammurabi, to the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. By examining the Mesopotamian and American judiciary articles, we demonstrated that America assimilated Mesopotamian governance.
My work explores a deep, timeless aesthetic connection to the primal spirit of humanity. In minimalistic yet often monumental sculptures, I interweave references to science and natural phenomena with the passage of time. These works invite the viewer to look beyond the traditional constraints of form, composition, and space into a deeper world of possibility.
Throughout his career, Salvador Dali was the illustrator of more than 100 books. Among the most celebrated of his book illustrations are his portfolios for Comte de Lautréamont's Les Chants de Maldoror (1868-1869 CE) and Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy (1308-1320 CE). Les Chants de Maldoror, or The Songs of Maldoror, was a favorite literary work among the Surrealists, many of whom found beauty in art and literature devoted to the pursuit of the irrational and the macabre. A poetic novel of sorts that unfolds in a non-linear fashion, Les Chants de Maldoror describes the violent and perverse character of a despicable protagonist who has renounced God, humanity, and conventional morality.
