Naked City - Volume 1 Issue 3 - (Page 19) >muse LAnDscApe from A movinG TrAin W. Eugene Smith the art of emprise written by > Jim Johnson Financial institutions play a big part in our lives. Banks hold our money, loan us money and generally make our businesses and personal lives possible. They also are a big part of our cultural activities, providing patronage to all aspects of the arts- music, theater and especially the visuals arts. The ArT of emprise is an exhibition at the WichiTA ArT museum (Jan. 25 through Mar. 23) that surveys the efforts of one such bank, WichiTA’s emprise BAnk and the passion of bank chairman M. D. Michaelis. He has created a collection that on one hand contains a striking array of art and, on the other, represents an important resource in preserving and documenting local art history . The ArT of emprise collection contains more than 1, 000 works created by artists who attained national, or international status and have strong ties to kAnsAs. This exhibit highlights 94 works by 81 artists, and makes the point that as early as the 1880s, a mere two decades after our State’s founding, artists with kAnsAs ties made their impact on American and international art history. Take, for instance, Albert Bloch who was a founding member of the avant-garde German Blaue Reiter group of 1911 along with Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc. His 1917 drawing, unTiTLeD (BuiLDinGs WiTh cLock ToWer) is an excellent example of cubist sensibility. He taught at the universiTy of kAnsAs from 1926 to 1943 demonstrating how contemporary and influential the faculties of kAnsAs universities have been in bringing current ideas to their students. Other historic art periods thoroughly documented by the ArT of emprise are the sAnTA fe and TAos groups of the early twentieth century. kAnsAs artists played a large role in these important American modernist movements. neWTon born and pAris trained >continued on page 44 19 nakedcitymag.com > volume 1 issue 3 nakedcity unTiTLeD Bruce Conner http://nakedcitymag.com
