 FROM THE DIRECTOR

I offer you a hearty “Prost!” as fall approaches continues in the permanent collection as well,
and we prepare for our annual Oktoberfest with the new Ancient Americas Galleries set to
celebrations. open this winter in the museum’s lower level.

Every year, more than 25,000 people take part in
what has become downtown Dayton’s largest fall
festival. Not only is it a time of great fun, but it’s
also the museum’s largest annual fundraiser. Last
year’s Oktoberfest raised a record net revenue
of $461,400 to support museum operations. We
hope to see all of you at this year’s festival, taking
place September 22–24.
These are exciting times here at the museum, and
you’re support is an important part of making
The DAI available to all in our community. As the
holiday season approaches, please consider an
end-of-year gift to the museum’s Annual Fund, as
well as giving the gift of membership to The DAI.
Both are important sources of operating revenue
for The Dayton Art Institute throughout the year.

If you haven’t seen the special exhibition Ubuhle
Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence,
you still have a few days left–it closes September
10. This beautiful, moving exhibition has garnered
rave reviews, with guests calling it “dazzling,”
“awesome” and “jaw dropping.”
Thank you for your continued support as
members of The Dayton Art Institute. We look
forward to seeing you this fall and over the
upcoming holiday season!
Best Regards,

Just prior to Oktoberfest, we will open our

eagerly anticipated fall exhibition, Alphonse Mucha:
Master of Art Nouveau, which will be on view from
September 16 through December 31. Be sure to
check out the feature in this issue and mark your
calendars for the many related programs.
We also recently announced our upcoming
2018 special exhibitions, which include large-
scale contemporary origami, 20th-century
portraiture by Yousuf Karsh, and the cutting-edge
photography of Mickalene Thomas.

 Alphonse Mucha:
Master of Art Nouveau
September16–December 31, 2017
Step back into the sumptuous fin-de-siècle
era with The Dayton Art Institute’s eagerly
anticipated fall exhibition, ALPHONSE
MUCHA: MASTER OF ART NOUVEAU—
Selections from the Dhawan Collection,
on view from September 16 through
December 31!
Influential in shaping the aesthetics of
French Art Nouveau at the turn of the 20th
century, Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939)
created varied, expressive and seductive
works that became synonymous with the
period. Much of Mucha’s illustrative work
employs beautiful women to attract an
audience—and to sell the products he
was hired to promote. His images of these
sexualized women challenged traditional
codes during the rise of the “modern
woman.” Additionally, this exhibition reveals
Mucha’s willingness to experiment with style
and process, examining the broad range of
Mucha’s works, largely created during the
1890s, a time that emphasized creating a
new art fit for the new century.
4 Art Changes Lives Live it
The exhibition presents 75 works,
including rare, original lithographs, proofs
and drawings, as well as books, posters,
portfolios and ephemera, all drawn from
the Dhawan Collection, one of the finest
private collections of Mucha’s work in the
United States. Curated by Gabriel Weisberg,
Professor of Art History, University of
Minnesota, Twin Cities and organized by
Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles,
CA, The Dayton Art Institute is the sole
Midwest venue for this national tour.

media.

The fall brings the highly-anticipated exhibitions
Muse: Photographs by Mickalene Thomas and
tête-à-tête (October 20, 2018–January 13,

1970s aesthetics and black-is-beautiful imagery;
Édouard Manet’s odalisque figures; and the studio
portraiture of James Van Der Zee and Malick
Sidibé. These staged scenes and portraits assert
new definitions of beauty and reflect a personal
community of inspiration, including muses such as
her mother and friends.
In addition to Muse, Mickalene Thomas
has curated a selection of key works by
other influential artists that will be on view
simultaneously, including Renée Cox, LaToya Ruby
Frazier, Lyle Ashton Harris, Zanele Muholi, Malick
Sidibé, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems,

Devoted: Visual Performances of Faith

Gallery 218, August 23, 2017–August 19, 2018
Devotion is a performance: the expression of
reverence, love, and wonder from the devotee
to the object of devotion. The use of visual art
in religious practice is as old as faith itself, and
traditions from around the world have made,
and continue to make, paintings, sculpture,
manuscripts, and many other objects that serve
as vehicles for acting out one’s beliefs. They enact
memory, recording sacred texts and depicting
sacred stories, and serve as mediums for
carrying out sacred rituals. This focus exhibition,
pulled from the collection of The DAI, presents
artworks from a variety of faith traditions in
order to explore how visual objects perform
devotion.

NOMINATIONS

PERFORMING ART IN THE LANGE of residency participants into dynamic,

FAMILY EXPERIENCENTER
On December 9, join us from 1–3 p.m.
to celebrate new inspiration for the
exhibition Performing Art in The Lange
Family Experiencenter. Light drawing,
Shakespeare’s plays, photographs and
Japanese prints provide more visual
sources to stimulate imagination,
movement, acting, and music, as well as
new art-making activities.
Artist Susan Byrnes, a 2018 Yeck Artist-in-
Residence, will install light drawings, using
a light as a drawing tool recorded with an
open camera shutter to capture physical
movements. By incorporating digital
animation techniques with video, Byrnes’
project will transform choreographed,
improvisational and ordinary movement
illuminated lines and shapes that
move across the screen. If your school,
classroom or community group would
like to participate in this residency, please
contact Christine Fleming, Museum
Educator for School Programs, at
cfleming@daytonart.org.
The art of contemporary dance has
profoundly influenced Byrnes’ work as a
visual artist. She has explored it through
sculpture, installation, and photography.
Her recent still photographs are a
collaboration with Megumi Edo, principal
dancer for the Armitage Gone! Dance
Company in New York. Byrnes earned an
MFA in sculpture from Eastern Michigan
University and a BFA in Photography from
Syracuse University. She has participated
in exhibitions in Cincinnati, Dayton,
Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, and
her work resides in several collections,
including Dayton Metro Library branches.

is free of racism, disrespect and intolerance. Held
under the auspices of the Holocaust Education
Committee of the Jewish Federation of Greater
Dayton, a selection of these works will be on

On opposite sides of the earth, two groups
of talented women work in distant parallel,
creating beautiful expressions of traditional
bead arts. The members of these two artistic
communities do not know each other, but
The DAI’s special exhibition Ubuhle Women:
Beadwork and the Art of Independence has
allowed an opportunity for at least some of
these women to experience the emotional
intensity of their shared creative community.
Members of Dayton’s dedicated beading
community recently visited the exhibition and
were touched to discover how much they
share with their sisters in Africa. All the things
that make working with beads such a satisfying
and stimulating experience for Ohio residents
translate directly to the creative focus held by
the group of bead artists from so far across the
ocean.
As part of a special tour and dinner organized
by exhibition sponsor Bead Stash LLC, beaders
from the area were delighted and inspired by the
spectacular beadwork of the female artists who
live and work together in rural KwaZulu-Natal,
South Africa. Their exquisite beaded tapestries
tell stories of the feminine African experience
through bead techniques and color palettes that
are familiar to their local counterparts.
After visiting the show, the beaders shared
a meal and discussed how they had been
moved by the work of the Ubuhle Women.
Many in attendance expressed an interest in
experimenting with the creation of tapestries
of their own—works that would allow them

ReImagining Works is an ongoing partnership that
commissions original artwork, inspired by The
DAI’s collection for each of the Dayton Metro
Library’s newly built or renovated branches.
Commissions were recently announced for the
new Southeast Branch Library, and commissions
for the Wilmington-Stroop Branch Library will be
announced in early September. Additional artist
opportunities will be available over the next two
years.

to mirror and interpret the shared creative
experience of their South African sisters.
Carole Ohl, who organized the Bead Stash event,
expressed her feelings about the show by saying,
“While touring the exhibition, I was surprised by
how deeply moved I was by this work. As I viewed
each panel I was aware of the amazing work of
each individual artist, but at the same time, I could
feel the community of these wonderful women
in a way that was very familiar to me. It made
me appreciate even more, the sweetness of the
creative connection we share as creative women.”
Beaders in the Dayton area will have an
opportunity to explore the bead embroidery
techniques used in the Ubuhle pieces. Workshops
are being planned at Bead Stash for those inspired
by the work, to come and create their own
smaller panels of beadwork.
“We have some very talented bead embroidery
teachers in Dayton, and can’t wait to see where
people take this project,” Carole said.
Those interested in more information about the
upcoming workshops may contact Carole Ohl at

Peter was born in Dayton in 1921 and
attended the School of The Dayton Art
Institute after serving in the Navy during World
War II (including time on the U.S.S. Essex).
In his early career, he was a reporter for the
Dayton Daily News, an illustrator for the

U.S. Government Weapons System Division,
and the layout artist and later Art Director
for prominent Dayton advertising firms. In
1968, he founded the Peter Losh Advertising
Company; he accepted a position with the
University of Dayton as Art Student Internship
Director in 1993. Most recently he served as a
watercolor and multi-media instructor.
Although Peter says he is “semi-retired,” he still
paints six days a week at his studio! He notes
that the slight tremor in his 95-year-old hands
disappears when he picks up his artist’s brush.
Over the summer, he took time to show
Michael Roediger some of his work–including
a watercolor of The DAI that he has given to
the museum as a gift–and relate his memories
of The DAI.
