SUMMARY:Asian Ceramics in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston Collection
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Fine Arts Houston collections of Asian art span nearly five millennia and encompass the cultures of China\, the Himalayas\, India\, Japan\, Korea\, and Southeast Asia. \nIn 2007\, the Museum launched an initiative to create dedicated galleries for the collection\, beginning with a gallery for the arts of Korea. Galleries for the arts of India\, China\, and Japan followed in 2009\, 2010\, and 2012 respectively. The novel installation of ancient\, modern\, and contemporary objects in the same room has engaged visitors in a dialogue that conveys transnational and global narratives within the ancient and modern worlds. \nThe collecting department illuminates the specificity and diversity of form\, iconography\, and techniques in the Asian continent that result from local and global transmission of ideas\, religion\, and philosophies such as Buddhism\, Confucianism\, Hinduism\, Jainism\, and Taoism. \nBradley Bailey has served as the inaugural Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Curator of Asian Art at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston since 2017. He earned his B.A.\, M.A.\, M.Phil.\, and Ph.D. degrees in art history\, as well as his M.B.A.\, with emphasis on nonprofit management and museums\, from Yale University. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:China Painting Redeemed: Florence Pratt Steward and Chicago's Atlan Ceramic Art Club
DESCRIPTION:In February 1893\, Florence Pratt Steward organized 15 of Chicago’s most talented female china decorators to create an exhibition of their work in the Woman’s Building at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Calling themselves the Atlan Ceramic Art Club\, they made a creditable showing\, winning 18 medals\, more than any other club in the country. \nThe Atlan’s goal was to develop a style of ceramic decoration that would be “original” and “distinctly American.” Toward this end\, members adopted “conventional” decoration—the stylization and original configuration of plants and other motifs drawn from nature—as the only acceptable style for their work. It soon became the club’s trademark \nSharon S. Darling is the author of numerous essays and publications on Chicago creativity. While curator of decorative and industrial arts at the Chicago History Museum\, 1972–1986\, she produced a series of award-winning exhibitions and publications on Chicago metalwork\, ceramics\, glass\, and furniture. She served as director of Motorola Inc.’s corporate museum\, 1986–2007. Since then\, she has contributed essays on Arts and Crafts jewelry and decorative arts made in Chicago and Illinois for various exhibition catalogues and publications. Her 2024 book\, Women\, Enterprise\, Craft: Chicago’s Atlan Ceramic Art Club\, 1893–1923\, received the Decorative Arts Society’s Charles F. Montgomery Prize. Darling is a graduate of North Carolina State University\, Duke University\, and Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. \n  \n  \n
