Appleton Book Club: "The Hare with Amber Eyes"
2021-09-14 19:00 - 20:15 | Online
The Appleton’s virtual book club meets once a month on Zoom to discuss works of nonfiction that have been hand selected by Appleton staff. The September meeting will discuss “The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance” by Edmund de Waal.
Led by Museum Educator Hollis Mutch, the book club is open to everyone. Participation is free and easy! Buy or borrow the book and read at your own pace. Register for the Appleton Book Club meeting here on Eventbrite. Login details for the Zoom session will be sent in your confirmation email.
About this book:
Edmund de Waal is a world-famous ceramicist. Having spent 30 years making beautiful pots―which are then sold, collected, and handed on―he has a particular sense of the secret lives of objects. When he inherited a collection of 264 tiny Japanese wood and ivory carvings, called netsuke, he wanted to know who had touched and held them, and how the collection had managed to survive.
And so begins this extraordinarily moving memoir and detective story as de Waal discovers both the story of the netsuke and of his family, the Ephrussis, over five generations. A nineteenth-century banking dynasty in Paris and Vienna, the Ephrussis were as rich and respected as the Rothchilds. Yet by the end of the World War II, when the netsuke were hidden from the Nazis in Vienna, this collection of very small carvings was all that remained of their vast empire.

Greater Than 17 Exhibition
2021-09-27 08:00 - 2021-10-28 16:00 | Ocala Campus, 3001 SW College Rd, Ocala, FL, 34474, United States
Drawn from the collection of College of Central Florida Associate Professor Tyrus Clutter and complied over more than twenty years, Greater than 17, is composed of artists who worked in printmaking, inﬂuenced by the techniques of British painter and printmaker Stanley William Hayter.
Hayter began his printmaking career working with the engraved line. His technique was based in surrealism and he was aﬃliated with the artists of that movement for a time. He became increasingly inﬂuential among European modernists when he opened his renowned workshop—Atelier 17—in Paris in 1927. The workshop moved to New York City during World War II, but again returned to Paris in 1950. Between Paris and New York, the workshop was populated with some of the greatest names of 20th century art: Miro, Calder, Lipchitz, Picasso, Motherwell, Nevelson, Pollock, Rothko, and de Kooning.
Many of the over one hundred ﬁfty works in this exhibition are produced with the Color Viscosity Intaglio printing process which was developed at Hayter’s Atelier 17 in the late 1950s. Earlier attempts had been made to print color etchings from a single plate, using stencils, but this was the breakthrough development of the workshop. Clutter says, “It was my interest in this printing process that led me to begin collecting works by these artists. First it was to learn how to implement the process myself, but it expanded to wanting to discover the connections and inﬂuences behind these artists over the last century.”
The works reveal the importance of Hayter, and other artists like Mauricio Lasansky, in the development of printmaking in the middle of the 20th century. Evident are aspects of abstraction connected to the automatism of surrealism, as well as some representational imagery with mythic and religious overtones—particularly in the work of Dick Swift.
Represented are artists from the US and Europe, but also some originally from South America, Scandinavia, Australia, and Asia. This shows the open, international ﬂavor of Atelier 17, as does the inclusion of over twenty female artists. The diversity of Atelier 17 was exceptional and predates the feminist movement, proper, in the US. The exhibit will travel to the Leepa-Rattner Museum in Tarpon Springs in early 2022.
A full slate of talks by Professor Clutter, covering aspects of the exhibit is scheduled:
Friday Oct. 1, 5-7 PM “Collecting Art on a Budget” (including an open reception), Wednesday Oct. 6, 12:30-1:30 PM “The Role of Printmaking in 20th Century American Art,” Wednesday Oct. 13, 12:30-1:30 PM “The Shift from Realism to Abstraction in American Art,” Wednesday Oct. 20, 12:30-1:30 PM “The Changing Roles of Women in 20th Century Art,” and Wednesday Oct. 27, 12:30-1:30 PM “The Role of Poetry and Literature at Atelier 17.”
Admission is free. The Webber Gallery’s hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. For additional information, call the gallery at 352-854-2322, ext. 1664.
