Main Gallery Exhibitions:
The Curious World of Patent Models
Through May 9, 2010
America's incredible success is primarily due to the dreams and
inventions of its many citizens. Few people realize however, that
from the time the U.S. Patent Office was formed by Thomas Jefferson
in 1790 and throughout the industrial revolution, inventors were
required to submit a working, scale model of their invention when
applying for a patent. On view at LASM will be 50 original models
selected from the holdings of The Rothschild Collection, the world's
largest gathering of viewable U.S. Patent Models. These wonderful
and fascinating original antiques are stunning, intricately crafted
miniatures. Only one model exists for each invention, complete with
its hand-written original tag. Dating from 1860 to 1902, the models
represent many inventions common today. Courtesy of the Rothschild
Patent Model Collection.
Spotlight: Jim Steg
March 20, 2010-May 23, 2010
A master printmaker, James L. Steg (1922-2001) was a professor
of art for 43 years at Newcomb College of Tulane University, New
Orleans. Ever inquisitive, he explored many techniques in the field
of printmaking and became an authority on paint and
solvent reactions. He pioneered very eccentric media, such as
altering Xerox prints with paint and chemicals. Among his inventions
is the collograph, a form of printmaking in which collaged materials
are applied to a rigid, hard backing such as wood or cardboard. His
creativity and innovation lasted a lifetime, resulting in his works
being included in major museum collections including the Museum of
Modern Art, New York, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian
Institution.
Selections from LASM Collection: Caroline Durieux
March 2, 2010-May 16, 2010
Best known for her satirical wit and innovative printmaking
techniques, Caroline Durieux (1896-1989) was ahead of her time. Born
and raised in New Orleans, she graduated from Newcomb College, now
part of Tulane University. In the late 1920s, she met Diego Rivera
and learned the venerable process of lithography while in Mexico. In
1949 she received her master's degree from Louisiana State
University, later returning to teach.
While at LSU she developed several new printmaking processes. A
prolific artists, she produced some 200 prints using lithography,
etching, electron, and cliché verre methods from 1932 until illness
prevented her working.
