I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

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 Museum Association was incorporated. Just five years later, in May 1886, a permanent art museum building was completed in Eden Park and was heralded worldwide as "The Art Palace of the West."

The Cincinnati Art Museum enjoyed the support of the community from the beginning. Generous donations from a number of prominent Cincinnatians, including Melville E. Ingalls, grew the collection to number in the tens of thousands of objects, which soon necessitated the addition of the first of several Art Museum expansions.

In 1907 the Schmidlapp Wing opened, which was followed by a series of building projects. The addition of the Emery (named after Cincinnati philanthropists Thomas J. Emery and his wife Mary Emery), Hanna and French wings in the 1930s enclosed the courtyard and gave the Art Museum its current rectangular shape and provided the space in which our American, European and Asian collections are currently shown.

Renovations during the late 1940s and early 1950s divided the Great Hall into two floors and the present main entrance to the Art Museum was established. The 1965 completion of the Adams-Emery wing increased our facility resources yet further, adding space for the permanent collection, lecture halls and temporary exhibition galleries.

In 1993, a $13 million project restored the grandeur of the Art Museum's interior architecture and uncovered long-hidden architectural details. This project included the renovation of one of the Art Museum's signature spaces, the Great Hall. In addition, new gallery space was created and lighting and climate control were improved. The Art Museum's temporary exhibition space was expanded to approximately 10,000 square feet (930 m2) to accommodate major temporary exhibitions.

By the turn of the twenty-first century, the Art Museum's collection numbered over 60,000 objects and, today, is the largest in the state of Ohio. In 2003, the Cincinnati Art Museum deepened its ties with the Greater Cincinnati community by opening the popular and expansive Cincinnati Wing, the first permanent display of a city's art history in the nation. In addition, on May 17, 2003, the Art Museum eliminated its general admission fee forever, made possible by The Lois and Richard Rosenthal Foundation.
