Te Maori: Maori Art from New Zealand Collections

Septem ber 11, 1984-January 6, 1985, The Sackler Exhibition Hall

According to legend, early in the 11th century, seven canoes bearing voyagers arrived in New Zealand from the Polynesian Islands. These original settlers became the Maoris, whose rich cultural and artistic heritage reflects their Polynesian origins. Te Maori: Maori Art fro m

New Zealand Collections, an unprecedented

exhibition, presents 174 of the most prized and remarkable works of the traditional art created by the Maoris between 1000 and 1850. Much of their art is in the care of the New Zealand museums but belongs to the Maori tribes, for whom these objects hold religious and mystical powers. Te Maori marks the first time the Maoris have allowed their treasures to journey abroad. This exhibition ranges from a monu mental and colorful carved gateway to a fort, elaborate canoe carvings and ridge poles to tools, musical instruments, and necklaces.

The exhibition is made possible by a grant from Mobil.

The exhibition was organized by The Ameri can Federation of Arts in association with the New Zealand government, the Maori people, and the New Zealand lending museums.

Additional support was received from the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities, Air New Zealand, and the National Patrons of The American Federation of Arts.

etchings are presented in multiple impressions demonstrating Whistler’s mastery and innova tive development of this medium. Incorporated in the exhibition are prints by artists whose work influenced Whistler, including Rembrandt, the Frenchm en Meryon and Jacques, and Japanese printmakers. The synthesis of these influences resulted in a style which was uniquely Whistler’s.

The Lithographs o f James McNeill Whistler: The Gift o f Paul F. Walter honors the donation

to this Museum of an exceptionally fine group of over 50 prints produced in the medium of lithography, which absorbed much of the artist’s energy between 1887 and 1897. These seascapes, streetscapes, and figural studies reflect the freshness and spontaneity of Whistler’s pencil sketches, as well as Impressionistic qualities characteristic of his art as a whole. This exhibition is made possible by Reliance Group Holdings, Inc.

The Flame and the Lotus: Indian and Southeast Asian Art from The Kronos Collections

September 21, 1984-March 1985, second floor, o ff European Paintings Galleries

The John M. Crawford, Jr. Collection of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting, First Part:

October 12, 1984-February 24, 1985, Douglas Dillon Galleries

The glory of the John M. Crawford, Jr. collec tion is writing: a group of scrolls brushed by some of the most eminent calligraphers within a tradition that placed calligraphy at the pinnacle of all visual arts. Of the 80 scrolls and albums on view October 12, about one-third will be brush writing, ranging in style from precisely executed regular characters to flamboyant “wild cursive” script. Landscape, figure, and flower paintings from the 11 th to the 20th centuries are of similar diversity and quality.

Mr. Crawford has promised his entire col lection to the Museum. Because of its extent, the

178 handscrolls, hanging scrolls, fans and album leaves are being shown in two parts: October 12, 1984-February 24, 1985, and March 12-June 30, 1985.

Self-Portrait by Vincent van Gogh. Lent by Fogg Art

Museum, Harvard University

Vincent van Gogh’s move from Paris to Arles, in the south of France, gave rise to bold explorations of subject, style, and color that mark the height of his career and a turning point in the development of nineteenth-century paint ing. It was here that van Gogh painted his famous series of orchards in bloom, wheatfields, and sowers under the Midi sun; his more intimate environment of the Yellow House and bedroom; and his moving portraits of the Postman Roulin, Mme. Ginoux (L ’Artésienne), and Mme. Roulin (La Berceuse). Over 150 paintings and drawings assembled from public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe will trace the artist’s develop ment from his arrival in Arles in February 1888 to his departure in May 1889 for the hospital at St. Rémy. Van Gogh in Arles is the first major exhibition ever devoted to this fifteen-month period. It is made possible, in part, by Manufac turers Hanover Corporation and the Robert Wood Johnson, Jr. Charitable Trust.

A GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

To the City: For more than a century the City of New

York and the trustees of The M etropolitan ^luseum of Art have been partners in bringing the Museum’s services to the public. The complex of buildings in Central Park is the property of the City, and the City provides for the Museum’s heat, light, and power. The City also pays for about half the costs of maintenance and security for the facility and its collections. The collections themselves are held in trust by the trustees. They, in turn, are responsible for meeting all expenses connected with conserva tion, education, special exhibitions, acquisitions, scholarly publications, and related activities, includ ing security costs not covered by the City. To the

State: The New York State Council on the Arts

provides an annual grant toward basic operating expenses. To Ruth Lapham Lloyd: Her generosity assures the continuation of public hours on Tuesday evenings.

Aid from these sources, combined with the generosity of our many visitors and friends, helps the M etro politan to serve the public in accordance with its traditional standards of excellence.
