CURRENT EXHIBITIONS: Heads and Tales Through September 22 This exhibition features material from the vast Virginia Historical Society portrait collection. The paintings presented tell poignant stories about five people-a woman who inspired the English poet Alexander Pope; a royal governor who was murdered by a mob; a Federalist politician struggling against the tide in Jeffersonian Virginia; a patron of the arts who made his fortune as a robber baron in the Gilded Age; and a Virginia suffragette, freethinker, and political radical. The Story of Virginia, An American Experience Long-term This 10,000-square-foot family-friendly exhibition includes several interactive features. It showcases more than 1,000 objects and covers 16,000 years of Virginia history from prehistoric times to the present. Virginians at Work Long-term Hundreds of objects in this exhibition tell the story of how Virginians have made a living and why jobs have changed. The exhibit follows four economies: agricultural (1607-1790), commercial (1790-1865), industrial (1865-1945), and service (1945-2006). Silver in Virginia Long-term This exhibition includes more than 400 pieces of silver not only produced in such major urban centers as Alexandria, Norfolk, and Richmond, but also works crafted in small towns like Dumfries, Fincastle, and Waynesboro. The Virginia Manufactory of Arms Long-term This exhibition presents weapons made in Richmond from 1802 to 1821. Examples of flintlock muskets, pistols, swords, and rifles supplied to the Virginia militia by the state are on display. Four Seasons of the Confederacy: Murals by Charles Hoffbauer Long-term French artist Charles Hoffbauer was commissioned by the Confederate Memorial Association to paint a series of Civil War murals, which were unveiled in January 1921. The murals follow the changing seasons and include Confederate commanders and battle scenes. (Please note: the Hoffbauer murals are currently undergoing major conservation. Portions of the murals may be obstructed by equipment, but the murals can still be viewed during this process.) Making the Murals: Studies by Charles Hoffbauer Long-term This exhibition shows the models, tools, and techniques Charles Hoffbauer used to produce the large-scale mural paintings, Four Seasons of the Confederacy, that progress through the seasons of spring to winter, from the opening years of the Civil War to its close. Solving History's Mysteries: A History Discovery Lab Long-term This interactive exhibition, co-organized by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, focuses on the process of discovery, how we learn, and the important role historic architecture and archaeology play in defining our communities and culture. The War Horse Long-term This life-size sculpture designed by Tessa Pullan of Rutland, England, was installed at the VHS's Boulevard entrance in September of 1997. Mounted on a six-foot stone base, the bronze riderless figure is a memorial to the 1.5 million horses and mules of the Confederate and Union armies who were killed, wounded, or died from disease during the Civil War. UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS: End of an Era: The Photography of Jack Jeffers Opens February 20 This exhibition displays large-format black-and-white prints of people and landscapes from the Appalachian region of western Virginia taken by award-winning photographer Jack Jeffers. Before Jeffers moved to Wyoming, the Virginia artist donated 123 monumental images to the Virginia Historical Society. Jeffers stated in 1996, "What you have represents almost thirty years of my life. Much of what I have recorded is already past history and most of the people I photographed are either dead or close to it." For the Love of Beauty: The Collections of Lora and Claiborne Robins Opens March 12 This exhibition presents nineteenth-century Hudson River School landscape paintings, decorative arts, and colonial furniture collected by philanthropists Lora Robins (1912-2010) and her husband, E. Claiborne Robins (1910-1995). These items were displayed in their home, Clear View, located in Richmond, Va. The Robins bequeathed the house and its contents to the Virginia Historical Society. This exhibition represents the first time that this personal collection has been publicly displayed. An Artist's Story: Civil War Drawings by Edwin Forbes Opens May 20 In 1862, twenty-three-year-old Edwin Forbes joined a corps of artists sent to Virginia to capture scenes of the war that would illustrate the pages of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. Forbes and his colleagues did much to shape public perceptions-then and now-of the American Civil War. This exhibition features 156 original pen-and-ink drawings that Forbes produced from wartime sketches to illustrate his book, Thirty Years After: An Artist's Story of the Great War. What Remains of Edward Beyer's Blue Ridge: Landscapes of Salem and Liberty Opens October 15 In the 1850s, the German artist Edward Beyer traveled throughout western Virginia and painted landscapes of many of the small towns in the Blue Ridge Mountains. These paintings are remarkable not only for their beauty but also their attention to detail. This exhibition uses Beyer's landscapes as documents to compare the Blue Ridge towns of today with the bustling communities of the middle nineteenth century.

The Civil War in 1862: A Civil War Sesquicentennial Program February 9, 16 and 23 This three-part lecture examines the desperate struggles that characterized combat operations and their impact on Virginia's populace in 1862, the first full year of the American Civil War. The history of Virginia is forever marked by the major military campaigns that took place on the Virginia Peninsula, in the Shenandoah Valley, and in Northern Virginia. The year 1862 would also see the introduction of ironclad warships, the development of a military railroad system that proved to be a model for armies around the world, the inception of a military draft in the Confederacy, and the increasing involvement of women in the war effort. This class is taught by retired Brig. Gen. John W. Mountcastle, former Chief of the Army's Military History Department. This class takes place from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and costs $75 for VHS members and $90 for nonmembers. Architectural Literacy: From Classical Antiquity to American Traditional March 8, 15, 22 and 29 This course is designed to help people discover the visual fascination of architecture, the most accessible of the arts. Although architecture is all around us, most people miss appreciating one of life's pleasures because they don't know how to "read" buildings. Using many examples of traditional architecture, famous as well as ordinary, the course explores why buildings look the way they do. In four sessions, the course will cover the classical language of architecture, construction and design details of traditional American buildings, and the origins of various architectural motifs. The instructor, Calder Loth, served as senior architectural historian at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and is the author of numerous books on architectural history. This class takes place from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and costs $100 for VHS members and $120 for nonmembers. Virginia Politics: 2010-2012 April 12, 19, and 26 In 1949, the author V. O. Key described Virginia as a "political museum" piece. Yet for the last fifty years, the Old Dominion has been anything but that. Virginia is an economically and politically vibrant state that is increasingly seen as a bellwether for national trends. This program examines the forces, people, and issues that have transformed Virginia politics since 2010. The course will focus on key elections, major policy innovations, and the principal challenges that face the state today in this presidential election year. Robert Holsworth is one of the state's leading political analysts, founder of VirginiaTomorrow.com, founding director of the Center for Public Policy and the Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a State Council of Higher Education for Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award Winner. This class takes place from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and costs $75 for VHS members and $90 for nonmembers. The War of 1812: Two Hundred Years Later May 3 and 10 2012 marks the beginning of the bicentennial OF the War of 1812. This often-overlooked conflict was an important one for the young United States and shaped both domestic and foreign policy for decades. In this class, author Robert Dunkerly, park ranger at Richmond National Battlefield Park and active historic preservationist, will examine the causes of the conflict and follow its progress, with special emphasis on Virginia's role in the struggle. Discussions will include past and current efforts to commemorate the war. This class takes place from 5:30-7:00 p.m. and costs $50 for VHS members and $65 for nonmembers.

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS: Heads and Tales Through September 22 This exhibition features material from the vast Virginia Historical Society portrait collection. The paintings presented tell poignant stories about five people?a woman who inspired the English poet Alexander Pope; a royal governor who was murdered by a mob; a Federalist politician struggling against the tide in Jeffersonian Virginia; a patron of the arts who made his fortune as a robber baron in the Gilded Age; and a Virginia suffragette, freethinker, and political radical. The Story of Virginia, An American Experience Long-term This 10,000-square-foot family-friendly exhibition includes several interactive features. It showcases more than 1,000 objects and covers 16,000 years of Virginia history from prehistoric times to the present. Virginians at Work Long-term Hundreds of objects in this exhibition tell the story of how Virginians have made a living and why jobs have changed. The exhibit follows four economies: agricultural (1607?1790), commercial (1790?1865), industrial (1865?1945), and service (1945?2006). Silver in Virginia Long-term This exhibition includes more than 400 pieces of silver not only produced in such major urban centers as Alexandria, Norfolk, and Richmond, but also works crafted in small towns like Dumfries, Fincastle, and Waynesboro. The Virginia Manufactory of Arms Long-term This exhibition presents weapons made in Richmond from 1802 to 1821. Examples of flintlock muskets, pistols, swords, and rifles supplied to the Virginia militia by the state are on display. Four Seasons of the Confederacy: Murals by Charles Hoffbauer Long-term French artist Charles Hoffbauer was commissioned by the Confederate Memorial Association to paint a series of Civil War murals, which were unveiled in January 1921. The murals follow the changing seasons and include Confederate commanders and battle scenes. (Please note: the Hoffbauer murals are currently undergoing major conservation. Portions of the murals may be obstructed by equipment, but the murals can still be viewed during this process.) Making the Murals: Studies by Charles Hoffbauer Long-term This exhibition shows the models, tools, and techniques Charles Hoffbauer used to produce the large-scale mural paintings, Four Seasons of the Confederacy, that progress through the seasons of spring to winter, from the opening years of the Civil War to its close. Solving History?s Mysteries: A History Discovery Lab Long-term This interactive exhibition, co-organized by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, focuses on the process of discovery, how we learn, and the important role historic architecture and archaeology play in defining our communities and culture. The War Horse Long-term This life-size sculpture designed by Tessa Pullan of Rutland, England, was installed at the VHS?s Boulevard entrance in September of 1997. Mounted on a six-foot stone base, the bronze riderless figure is a memorial to the 1.5 million horses and mules of the Confederate and Union armies who were killed, wounded, or died from disease during the Civil War. UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS: End of an Era: The Photography of Jack Jeffers Opens February 20 This exhibition displays large-format black-and-white prints of people and landscapes from the Appalachian region of western Virginia taken by award-winning photographer Jack Jeffers. Before Jeffers moved to Wyoming, the Virginia artist donated 123 monumental images to the Virginia Historical Society. Jeffers stated in 1996, ?What you have represents almost thirty years of my life. Much of what I have recorded is already past history and most of the people I photographed are either dead or close to it.? For the Love of Beauty: The Collections of Lora and Claiborne Robins Opens March 12 This exhibition presents nineteenth-century Hudson River School landscape paintings, decorative arts, and colonial furniture collected by philanthropists Lora Robins (1912?2010) and her husband, E. Claiborne Robins (1910?1995). These items were displayed in their home, Clear View, located in Richmond, Va. The Robins bequeathed the house and its contents to the Virginia Historical Society. This exhibition represents the first time that this personal collection has been publicly displayed. An Artist?s Story: Civil War Drawings by Edwin Forbes Opens May 20 In 1862, twenty-three-year-old Edwin Forbes joined a corps of artists sent to Virginia to capture scenes of the war that would illustrate the pages of Frank Leslie?s Illustrated Newspaper. Forbes and his colleagues did much to shape public perceptions?then and now?of the American Civil War. This exhibition features 156 original pen-and-ink drawings that Forbes produced from wartime sketches to illustrate his book, Thirty Years After: An Artist?s Story of the Great War. What Remains of Edward Beyer?s Blue Ridge: Landscapes of Salem and Liberty Opens October 15 In the 1850s, the German artist Edward Beyer traveled throughout western Virginia and painted landscapes of many of the small towns in the Blue Ridge Mountains. These paintings are remarkable not only for their beauty but also their attention to detail. This exhibition uses Beyer?s landscapes as documents to compare the Blue Ridge towns of today with the bustling communities of the middle nineteenth century.

The Civil War in 1862: A Civil War Sesquicentennial Program February 9, 16 and 23 This three-part lecture examines the desperate struggles that characterized combat operations and their impact on Virginia?s populace in 1862, the first full year of the American Civil War. The history of Virginia is forever marked by the major military campaigns that took place on the Virginia Peninsula, in the Shenandoah Valley, and in Northern Virginia. The year 1862 would also see the introduction of ironclad warships, the development of a military railroad system that proved to be a model for armies around the world, the inception of a military draft in the Confederacy, and the increasing involvement of women in the war effort. This class is taught by retired Brig. Gen. John W. Mountcastle, former Chief of the Army?s Military History Department.

Architectural Literacy: From Classical Antiquity to American Traditional March 8, 15, 22 and 29 This course is designed to help people discover the visual fascination of architecture, the most accessible of the arts. Although architecture is all around us, most people miss appreciating one of life?s pleasures because they don?t know how to ?read? buildings. Using many examples of traditional architecture, famous as well as ordinary, the course explores why buildings look the way they do. In four sessions, the course will cover the classical language of architecture, construction and design details of traditional American buildings, and the origins of various architectural motifs. The instructor, Calder Loth, served as senior architectural historian at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and is the author of numerous books on architectural history. This class takes place from 5:30?6:30 p.m. and costs $100 for VHS members and $120 for nonmembers. Virginia Politics: 2010?2012 April 12, 19, and 26 In 1949, the author V. O. Key described Virginia as a ?political museum? piece. Yet for the last fifty years, the Old Dominion has been anything but that. Virginia is an economically and politically vibrant state that is increasingly seen as a bellwether for national trends. This program examines the forces, people, and issues that have transformed Virginia politics since 2010. The course will focus on key elections, major policy innovations, and the principal challenges that face the state today in this presidential election year. Robert Holsworth is one of the state?s leading political analysts, founder of VirginiaTomorrow.com, founding director of the Center for Public Policy and the Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University, and a State Council of Higher Education for Virginia Outstanding Faculty Award Winner.

The War of 1812: Two Hundred Years Later May 3 and 10 2012 marks the beginning of the bicentennial OF the War of 1812. This often-overlooked conflict was an important one for the young United States and shaped both domestic and foreign policy for decades. In this class, author Robert Dunkerly, park ranger at Richmond National Battlefield Park and active historic preservationist, will examine the causes of the conflict and follow its progress, with special emphasis on Virginia?s role in the struggle. Discussions will include past and current efforts to commemorate the war. This class takes place from 5:30?7:00 p.m. and costs $50 for VHS members and $65 for nonmembers.

The images depicted in End of an Era: The Photography of Jack Jeffers feature Virginia's rugged mountain people, weather-beaten structures, and well-hidden Appalachia landscapes. With the prints presented, visitors can read excerpts of stories Jeffers shares about what he saw in Virginia's Blue Ridge region in the late 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. "Like many of life's adventures, my documentation of the Appalachian mountain people was not planned, but evolved through a series of unexpected discoveries," the 78-year-old Jeffers said. "I realized half way through my journey that I was documenting a way of life that was rapidly disappearing from the rural byways. I might be the only person to have ever photographed some of those people. In fact, I know that to be true about at least a few of them." "Jeffers presents environments that sometimes startle us with a sense of isolation that is unknown in today's world of cable television, internet, and smart phones," VHS lead curator Dr. William Rasmussen said. "When organizing this exhibition, I wanted Jeffers's words to paint the picture and be the 'windows to the Blue Ridge and beyond' as he said in one of his books." The exhibition displays large-format silver sulfide prints-images made on paper coated with light-sensitive silver salts. All were hand processed by Jeffers. "No one else has ever touched my negatives," Jeffers said. "I don't think anyone could print my images like I did. I still feel that way." In 1996, Jeffers donated 119 prints featuring Virginia scenes to the society. In addition to the VHS, four venues in Virginia own a collection of Jeffers's prints: Longwood University, Radford University, Ferrum College, and the Reedville Fishermen's Museum. Jeffers still owns all 2,500+ negatives. He says photography is a "serious hobby" for him today. Recently he has explored the digital photography world and has been capturing images of the American West, including the mountains of Colorado where he currently lives. End of an Era: The Photography of Jack Jeffers is on display at the VHS until August 26, 2012. Admission to the society is free. The VHS Museum Shop is selling signed copies of a catalog featuring Jeffers's work. "It was always my intention to have my work displayed in a historical context," Jeffers said. "I wanted my prints in a museum devoted to the history of Virginia, and the VHS is the ideal place for that." "I preserved for future generations a viable record of this intriguing segment of Virginia's-and America's-past. Virtually everything in the images is gone-or dotted with power lines, giant new houses, and modern roads-and so too is a way of life." # # # High-resolution exhibition images are available at http://www.vahistorical.org/news/media_jeffers.htm. To learn more about Jack Jeffers and see examples of his work, visit his website at http://www.jeffersfineart.com/jack.php or his blog at http://fineartofphotography.blogspot.com/.

Although architecture is all around us, many people miss appreciating one of life?s pleasures because they don?t know how to "read" buildings. Using many examples of traditional architecture, famous as well as ordinary, the course explores why buildings look the way they do. In four sessions, the course will cover the classical language of architecture, construction and design details of traditional American buildings, and the origins of various architectural motifs. It will explain aesthetic principles of traditional architecture by contrasting ?literate? with ?illiterate? buildings. The course provides an in-depth but digestible understanding of architectural works both great and small, and will appeal to architects, interior designers, contractors, old-house buffs, remodelers, realtors, and just about anybody who likes to look at buildings. For many years Calder Loth served as senior architectural historian at the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and is the author of numerous books on architectural history. Introduction to the Classical Language of Architecture: The course begins with Roman classicism, the foundation of the architecture of western civilization. We will examine the origins of the five orders of Roman architecture as well as their individual characteristics and components. The course will illustrate variations in the orders and their application on numerous examples of America buildings, both famous and ordinary. It will also explain the origins of architectural terms. Greek Classicism: Using a variety of examples: Part 2 looks at the differences between the Roman and Greek architectural vocabulary. It also discusses the rediscovery of Greek classicism and the development of the Greek Revival movement. It will explain the etymology of the architectural terms for Greek details. Motifs and Details: Part 3 analyzes familiar traditional architectural motifs and details and their origins, serving to illustrate the fact that details we see every day can be traced to ancient sources. Among the motifs and details explored are the aedicule, serliana, patera, taenia with guttae, consoles, brackets, balusters, and lattice, among other features. American Traditional: This session explores the evolution and fine points of American traditional architecture, both high-style and vernacular. It includes a discussion of Palladio?s and James Gibbs?s influence on the American architectural image. It also focuses on connoisseurship by using contrasting images of literate and illiterate architecture. Each of the four parts lasts approximately one hour. Handouts include an architectural glossary, illustrations of Roman and Greek orders, and a reading list. $75/VHS members; $90/nonmembers Register online -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
