A Wisconsin Decorative Arts Feathursday

This week we present some decorative avian motifs form the 1948 portfolio Decorative Art in Wisconsin by Anne Kendall Foote (1910-1986) and Elaine A. G. Smedal (1922-2014), published in Madison, Wisconsin by Screen Art Company. The portfolio is a follow-up to the authors' 1946 portfolio Norwegian Design in Wisconsin, and was funded by a grant from the University of Wisconsin's Committee on the Study of American Civilization. The portfolio includes 15 original silk-screened prints with photographs and descriptions of the artifacts that the designs are drawn from.

We were delighted that bird images were included, and particularly delighted that some of them were . . . CHICKENS!!

From 15 March, the 72nd sign of the Chinese calendar / 菜虫化蝶 (Namushichou.)

It means that it is around the time when the pupa, after a harsh winter, hatches into a butterfly.

Today is such a mild and warm day.

3月15日から、七十二候/ 菜虫化蝶 なむしちょう 。

厳しい冬を越したサナギが、蝶に羽化する頃頃という意味なのだそう。

今日は、そんな穏やかで温かな日ですね。

Staff Pick of the Week

CORITA KENT

Corita Kent (1918-1986), also known as Sister Mary Corita, was an artist, educator, and social justice activist. At age 18, Kent entered the order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM) and went on to teach at and eventually head the art department of the Immaculate Heart College. She was a prolific artist creating primarily serigraphs, but also heavily utilized film, photography, and watercolor throughout her life. Kent’s work is vibrant and hopeful in its incorporation of electric colors, religious texts, popular song lyrics and poetry, advertising images and slogans, and an overall message of peace.  

In 1968 Pilgrim Press, the publishing arm of the liberal-religious United Church of Christ, published a Sister Corita box set celebrating the scope of her life’s work. The box set includes 30 facsimile prints of her artwork and a hardcover book containing essays by Kent, Harvey Cox, and Samuel A. Eisenstein. Kent’s essay Art and Beauty in the Life of the Sister shines a light on her way of viewing the world with “wild booming joy” and her playful process of looking for lessons from the psalms in everything. Harvey Cox reflects on Kent’s “festive involvement with the world” in her daily habits and through her art, and Eisenstein shares his experience of attending an Art & Community Workshop lead by Kent and two other IHM Sisters. The book concludes with black and white catalog of Kent’s prints from 1952-1967.
