6. CINARS_120804_118.JPG: Model for the Tyler Davidson Fountain, Cincinnati, ca 1868 August von Kreling Inscribed "To the People of Cincinnati," the graceful Tyler Davidson Fountain symbolizes the significance of art to the community. Through more than a century of change, this public sculpture has reigned as the icon of the Queen City. Its water themes provide tangible reminders of the city's past as a commercial center depended upon the river. Yet, its more important messages may lie in the primary role of this work of art in the life of the city and in the patronage that made that possible. The fountain's enduring status testifies to the pride Cincinnati residents take in their cultural heritage. Henry Probasco (1820-1902) commissioned this fountain in memory of Tyler Davidson, his partner in the wholesale hardware business. Deeply religious, Probasco despised the latest European fountains with nymphs and sea gods frolicking in the nude. He was in despair when a drawing caught his eye at the Royal Bavarian Foundries in Munich, Germany, made by August von Kreling, twenty-five years earlier. It presented realistic vignettes of ordinary citizens enjoying the benefits of water. The resulting fountian is capped by the Genius of the Waters, who dispenses the precious resource to a daughter refreshing her aging father, a farmer awaiting rain, a mother and child bathing, and a man whose house is ablaze. Probasco hoped the fountain would "advance public taste, health, and morals," and that young people would glean the message that virtue brings rewards. The small-scale model was shipped to Probasco and displayed in the library of his Clifton mansion. At a celebration there, Mayor Charles Wilstach proclaimed, "Let us, in the erection of this magnificent fountain, signify that Cincinnati is destined to be not only the seat of learning and of literature, but of high art."

11. CINARS_120804_327.JPG: The most recent addition to the Cincinnati Art Museum's permanent collection is a twelve foot tall bronze sculpture titled Pinocchio (Emotional) by artist Jim Dine. He designed the sculpture in 2007; there will be three sculptures in the edition as well as three artist's proofs. The Cincinnati edition features a painted surface that Dine custom-crafted for his hometown. Pinocchio (Emotional) was cast in late 2011 at the Walla Walla Foundry, in Washington state, which specializes in fabricating sculpture. The Foundry is located near Dine's Walla Walla studio; the artist also works in New York, London, and Paris. Working with foundry technicians, the artist created 3-D computer models that served as the blueprint for building the sculpture. Foundry workers then cast a plaster and wood full-size version of the sculpture, and used this to create each section of the piece in bronze. They welded these parts together to create the full piece. The foundry then sandblasted the sculpture to clean and prepare it for painting. Once the finishing touches were complete, the sculpture traveled over two thousand miles by truck to the Cincinnati Art Museum. It was installed by a crew that included the artist and his studio assistant, Cincinnati Art Museum installers, and local rigging experts. Standing near the Art Museum's main entrance, Pinocchio (Emotional) welcomes visitors and encourages us to experience the transformative power of art.

Wikipedia Description: Cincinnati Art Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cincinnati Art Museum is one of the oldest art museums in the United States. Founded in 1881, it was the first purpose-built art museum west of the Alleghenies. Its collection of over 60,000 works make it one of the most comprehensive collections in the Midwest.

Museum founders debated locating the museum in either Burnett Woods, Eden Park, or downtown Cincinnati on Washington Square. Charles West, the major donor of the early museum, cast his votes in favor of Eden Park sealing its final location. The Romanesque-revival building designed by Cincinnati architect James W. McLaughlin opened in 1886. A series of additions and renovations have considerably altered the building over its 120 year history.

In 2003, a major addition, The Cincinnati Wing was added to house a permanent exhibit of art created for Cincinnati or by Cincinnati artists since 1788. The Cincinnati Wing includes fifteen new galleries covering 18,000 square feet (1,700 m2) of well-appointed space, and 400 objects. The Odoardo Fantacchiotti angels are two of the largest pieces in the collection. Fantacchiotti created these angels for the main altar of St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in the late 1840s. They were among the first European sculptures to come to Cincinnati.. The Cincinnati Wing also contains the work of Frank Duveneck, Rookwood Pottery, Robert Scott Duncanson Mitchell and Rammelsberg (Cincinnati's premier 19th century furniture manufacturer) and a tall case clock by Luman Watson.

History

In the late nineteenth century, public art museums were still very much a new phenomenon, especially as far west as Cincinnati. Following the success of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia, the Women's Art Museum Association was organized in Cincinnati with the intent of bringing such an institution to the region for the benefit of all citizens. Enthusiasm for these goals grew steadily and by 1881 the Cincinnati M ...More...

2012 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
