Bookplate design for Mouse Dreger, c. 1920s
Woodcut
Gift of Ester L. Peers
These two woodcut prints were inspired by the Art Nouveau style and the illustrator Aubrey Beardsley.
Art Nouveau, as a style, used graceful,
curvilinear lines while having a sensuous and dreamlike feel. Many of the images are
romantic and naturalistic.
Beardsley’s work featured large dark areas contrasted with large blank ones, and areas of fine detail contrasted with areas with none at all. Much of Beardsley’s work had a mythical and romantic feel.
Peer’s prints have the same dreamlike quality and attention to detail, however you can see how Peer’s has started to simplify and streamline the forms and shapes. These are characteristics of the new modern style, Art Deco.

The words on one side of the book are covered with black thread. The words on the other side are clear and easy to read. One side represents the artist’s spoken conversation, while the other side is the commentary running through her head.
Why do you think the artist chose to cover some of the words with thread?

In 2015, the Walker celebrates the 75th anniversary of its founding as a public art center dedicated to presenting and collecting the art of our times. Curated by the Walker’s executive director Olga Viso and guest curator Joan Rothfuss, the exhibition looks at 75 years of collecting at the Walker—a history distinguished not only by bold and often risk-taking choices but also acquisitions that have consistently breached the boundaries of media or disciplines.
Art at the Center: 75 Years of Walker Collections is on view from October 16, 2014 to September 11, 2016 in Galleries 4, 5, 6.
Curators: Olga Viso and Joan Rothfuss, with Andrew Blauvelt, Jill Vuchetich, and Mia Lopez

My mother has frontal lobe dementia. From the beginning her diagnosis was very troubling for her and the rest of the family. As time has passed and her dementia has progressed the family continues to note her deterioration and mourn her loss to us.
She, however, is less and less aware of her changing state. She is more and more often in other places and times where she is busy and happy. None of us can follow her where she goes but there is nothing to be gained by trying to remind her of where she really is.

Pewter was used and valued by the Chinese long before it appeared in Europe. Pewter is an alloy of tin and lead. It is soft and can be easily shaped, engraved and stamped. In China, pewter was used for keeping water hot in kettles and serving food, wine and tea. During the 19th century, Yixing clay was added as an interior liner for pewter teapots.
Snuff bottles were used by the Chinese to contain powdered tobacco. Smoking tobacco was originally illegal in China, but the use of snuff was allowed because the Chinese considered snuff to be a remedy for common illnesses such as colds, headaches and stomach disorders.
It was common to offer a pinch of snuff as a way to greet friends and relatives. Snuff bottles soon became an object of beauty and a way to represent status. The highest status went to whoever had the rarest and finest snuff bottle.

Dr. Tony Silvestri brought pigment sources, parchment, quill pens and a variety of other tools that it takes to make an illuminated manuscript.
Recently we took a journey back in time to the Middle Ages, before the printing press, when books were written and illustrated entirely by hand. Dr. Tony Silvestri from Washburn University showed us how he’s keeping this complex craft alive today. Offered in conjunction with "Telling Stories", our current book art exhibit.
In the Back Gallery, vistors study Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison's "The Marks We Make," in the center. On the left is a work by Richard Zoellner, and on the far left, a work by Terry Allen and William Wiley. "An Eyeful: Selections from the Permanent Collection," ran April 22 - June 4, 2010.

In this intricate piece of fictional writing Barry Lopez has created an imaginary academic submission to a historical journal. Written by the aging historian Rubén Mendoza Vega, the article, though only one paragraph long, uses 16 footnotes that add depth and contour to the personality of the writer. Following the footnotes, the reader can assemble a puzzle out of the old man’s life, dispositions and prejudices.
