A John Waters Christmas, Dec 18, 2009 - Next Month
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act.
Category: New Brunswick Theater event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: Fri, December 18, 2009 at 8pm
John Waters’ one-man show is a "vaudeville" act that celebrates his incredible filmmaking career with a provocative and devious monologue that takes the audience on a wonderfully misbehaved trip to the extremes of the contemporary art world, where it can share in Waters’ fascination with true crime, trash, and exploitation films—a journey where absolutely nothing is sacred.
John Waters is the quintessence of cult films and the ‘midnight movies’ phenomenon, and his films—which range from Mondo Trasho, Pink Flamingos, and Female Trouble, via the original Hairspray that inspired the successful Broadway show of the same name, to A Dirty Shame and Cry Baby, the breakthrough-film of a tender-faced Johnny Depp, are eternal classics.
This performance includes Adult Content not suitable for children.
Tickets: $27-47

American Woodcuts from the 1890s to the present
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: This presentation of over 100 prints surveys the use of the woodcut medium in the United States. The exhibition begins with a remarkable moment in the late nineteenth century when American artists, inspired by the arts and crafts movement and Japanese color prints, began experimenting with new ways to print in color. Rarely seen color woodcuts by Arthur Wesley Dow, an influential educational leader who promoted the art of the color woodcut, depict alluring Massachusetts landscapes in Japanese-inspired styles. Later artists experimented with the technique to create modernist imagery. Blanche Lazzell adapted cubism to render still lifes and the hills of West Virginia in brilliant yellows, oranges, greens, and blues. By the middle of the twentieth century, artists were transforming the woodcut to display bold colors and abstract forms. Contemporary artists worked in the medium in unprecedented ways; they created large-scale color woodcuts featuring people, landscapes, geometric abstraction, or organic forms, in styles as varied as abstract expressionism and minimalism. Blocks of Color continues up to the present day with prints by 43 other artists, including Polly Apfelbaum, Richard Bosman, Francesco Clemente, Richard Diebenkorn, Jim Dine, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Judd, Karen Kunc, Sherrie Levine, Michael Mazur, and others. Drawn primarily from the Zimmerli’s extensive print collection, this exhibition is also complemented by several key loans from regional collections. Christine Giviskos, Associate Curator of Nineteenth-Century European Art, curated the exhibition with Marilyn Symmes, Director of the Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts and Curator of Prints and Drawings.

How We Live Now: Picturing Everyday Life in Children's Book, Dec 05, 2009 to May 23, 2010
Picturing Everyday Life in Children's Book
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: From the 1960s onward, technical improvement in image reproduction and growing social awareness combined to produce a growing number of children’s books that reflect the diversity of American people and ways of life. Selected illustrations from the Zimmerli Art Museum’s collection exemplify this trend. Roger Duvoisin’s painterly gouache illustrations for It’s Time Now, 1969, casually capture the feeling of street life in the city. John Thompson’s realistic black and white illustrations for The Liquid Trap, 1976, a short novel for young readers, provide a more literal portrait of a girl’s visit with her family in the south. Barbara Beirne, E. B. Lewis, and Stephen T. Johnson were inspired by young people from their neighborhoods, rather than professional models, to create vibrant and authentic images of young people engaged in sport activities. Illustrations by Catherine Stock depict subjects ranging from a small boy’s relationship with neighbors, Miss Viola and Uncle Ed Lee, 1999, to the unexpected pregnancy of a teen-aged girl in Doll Baby, 2000. Books related to the illustrations are on view in the gallery, along with hands-on activities for visitors. The exhibition is organized by Gail Aaron, Assistant Curator, Original Illustrations for Children’s Books, Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts.

Lois Lenski: Exploring the Everyday Lives of Children, Sep 24, 2009 to Nov 29, 2009
Lois Lenski
Category: New Brunswick Art event in New Jersey
Description of this New Brunswick Event: Thirty-six illustrations selected from the Zimmerli Art Museum’s holdings of over 60 children’s book illustrations by Lois Lenski (1893-1974) reveal ways in which the Newbery Award–winning author/illustrator’s deep interest in the daily lives and activities of children is reflected in visual components of her books.
Lenski’s groundbreaking picture book, The Little Auto (1934), features clear hand-lettered text and engaging black and red illustrations that resonate with the imaginative play of a child with a toy car. Reflecting her ideas about the preferences of young children, crisp ink drawings with touches of color predominate in works such as Now It’s Fall (1948), and figures and action are contained within the frame of the page.
Concurrently with creating picture books, Lenski researched, wrote, and illustrated fiction for older children. Beginning in the early 1940s, Lenski determined to investigate and describe in fiction the lives of children from various regions of the United States currently under-represented in juvenile literature. Books such as Judy’s Journey (1947), a novel about a girl whose family earns a living as migrant workers, provided children of the World War II and post-war era with a perspective on lives much different from their own. Small, information-packed illustrations in graphite or ink amplify, but don’t compete with the texts.
Books for viewing and for browsing will be on display in the gallery, along with activities for visitors. Illustrations on view in the gallery, some being shown for the first time, are the gift of the artist’s son, Steven Covey. The exhibition is organized by Gail Aaron, Assistant Curator, Original Illustrations for Children’s Books, Morse Research Center for Graphic Arts.
