From Munich to Brown County: The Life and Artwork of T.C. Steele

February 2 – June 11, 2017
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (upper level) Indiana artist Theodore Clement Steele (1847-1926) is perhaps the most widely-celebrated Hoosier Impressionist painter of the early 20th century. In honor of Indiana’s bicentennial celebration, From Munich to Brown County: The Life and Artwork of T.C. Steele highlights paintings and sketches drawn from the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection and the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites. A master of capturing both landscape and the human figure in oil paint, Steele was instrumental in establishing the Brown County Artist Colony near Nashville, Indiana. Yet, few within the DePauw community are aware of the significant historic and modern ties between Steele and the University. From Munich to Brown County The life and Artwork of T.C.

Abstract Traditions: Postwar Japanese Prints from the DePauw University Permanent Art Collection

August 24 – December 9, 2016
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (Upper Level)A pivotal moment in Japanese printmaking history, the artists associated with the modern print movement broke with centuries of rigid tradition and embraced the flexibility and spontaneous creativity afforded them by sketching, carving, and printing their own works. Previously, historic Japanese prints prior to the early 20thcentury relied upon a well-established workshop method in which artists, carvers, and printmakers each completed a specialized task in the printmaking process. This exhibition and the accompanying catalog feature, for the first time, 40 key abstract pieces from the DePauw University permanent art collection. Noted artists include: Iwami Reika, Onchi Koshiro, Sekino Junichiro, Shinoda Toko, and Yamaguchi Gen. This exhibition and the accompanying print catalog was made possible with generous support from: Arthur E. Klauser ’45 Asian & World Community Collections Endowment, DePauw University Asian Studies Program, DePauw University David T. Prosser Jr. ‘65 E. Rhodes and Leona B.

stereotype

February 8 – May 12, 2016
Peeler Art Center, University Gallery (lower level) Historically, typography has been designed with two axes in mind, x and y. Today, in contrast, designers are broadening their perceptions about type to accommodate the added dimensions of a digital experiential world. Recent innovations in type design take principles of animation, interactivity, and kinetic movement and combine them with traditional components of typography, resulting in pioneering explorations in motion typography. This activity made possible, in part, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional funding provided by the Public Occasions Committee.
