MUSEUM STAFFIn the South we often start our meetings or gatherings with a crisp “Hello,” “Good Morning,” or “Good Afternoon” with the expectation of getting an equally rousing response back from the audience. If the response isn’t robust enough, we repeat our greeting and can almost always count on getting the desired response at that point. It works to wake us up and get us focused as well as setting the stage for a lively discussion, but the most important goal that is achieved with this “call and response” scenario is that it opens the door for an interchange. Call it an interlocutor’s trick if you will, but it establishes a relationship -
one in which the audience is ready to hear what you have to say and the speaker is also prepared to be heard.
Over the past five months, we have been asking a broad and diverse range of members of our community what their thoughts are about the Columbus Museum, as well as what they want to see or experience when they come through our front doors. You can learn a lot about how you are doing when you ask people to tell you what they think… sometimes reaffirming and at other times quite surprising. However, if we really want to be relevant as a vital part of our community we need to ask those we serve how we are doing and listen when they respond. This is true of the Columbus Museum as well as any not-for-profit. As the Museum comes to the end of its 60th anniversary, we want to be sure that all steps are taken to ensure that we will be an important part of the cultural life of our community when we celebrate our 75th and 100th anniversaries as well. Many, many people – trustees, staff, community leaders, families, cultural partners, Museum members, and residents of our region both in Georgia and Alabama – have come together to share their thoughts and voice their expectations of our museum and we are very grateful for their participation. The outcome of this conversation will inform our new strategic plan that we look forward to adopting in early 2014 to help guide our museum for the next five to ten years, if not longer.
Our redesigned website, www.columbusmuseum.com, is now up and accessible to everyone. With so many new features and interactive components, I urge you to visit the site and explore the expanded options that are available to you. Want to see more of the collection than might be on view? Now you can do just that by searching the Museum’s holdings. Want to have a creative educational moment with your children? Then visit the Family Programs page where you will find activities, games, and information about upcoming classes and programs. Our new website is intended to enhance your visit by providing you the opportunity to find out more about our current programs as well as those that will be occurring soon. Also because of the secure “My Museum” login, you can now comfortably become a member or even renew your membership online or make year-end or tribute gifts to the Museum, which help support our education mission. Again, our sincere thanks to the Knight Fund at the Community Foundation of the Chattahoochee Valley, Inc. for their generous support in making this important website redesign possible.
So much is still happening around our celebratory 60th anniversary year - two new exhibitions, Greetings from Midtown: Historic Postcard Vignettes and Shalom Y’All: The Valley’s Jewish Heritage are guaranteed to make your visits memorable. On the near horizon is Let There Be Art with the opening gala to be held on April 10. Please mark your calendar for this festive event. As you can see, it’s true - the Columbus Museum is “always changing” and always working to better serve you and our community!

istoric postcards present miniature idealized portraits of life in a community. Particularly in the early decades
of the 20th century, they were most often purchased not by tourists, but by local residents “showing off” their town while writing to a friend or family member. Lovely and intriguing to view, the images in the exhibition also provide a window into architectural styles, leisure activities, dress, prominent residents and businesses, and the landscape of a fashionable Columbus suburb.
This exhibition celebrates the distinctive houses, schools, businesses, and public landmarks that comprise MidTown. In addition to historic postcards, the exhibition will feature furniture, household items, clothing, games, and other pieces that tell the story of each particular location. Capping off our 60th anniversary year, the Museum is proud to celebrate its neighborhood with this showcase.
This exhibition is made possible by the generous fundingfrom Mr. and Mrs. Jerry B. Newman.

European Jewish settlers first came to the Chattahoochee Valley in the 1850s and continued to arrive through the 1940s. These immigrants established stores and traveling businesses, conducted religious services in homes and synagogues, and became integrated into their small Southern communities while maintaining distinctive cultural traditions. This exhibition focuses on Jewish life in Columbus and surrounding communities, including LaGrange and Talbotton, Georgia; Auburn and Eufaula, Alabama; and West Point, Georgia/Valley, Alabama. Migration, businesses, religious and cultural institutions, and the growth, decline, and
perseverance of Jewish communities in the region over time are spotlighted, all with an eye on how these local stories exemplify broader trends in Southern Jewish life.
The exhibition will feature a number of historic images and three-dimensional artifacts, drawing from a wide range of public and private collections, including the William Breman Museum in Atlanta, the Cobb Memorial Archives in Valley, and the Straus Historical Society in New York. These are supplemented by items from private collectors and Jewish organizations in Columbus, Talbotton, Eufaula, andother communities.

ART ACQUISITIONS
he Museum recently acquired two exquisite examples of early-20th
century decorative arts. Two artists, one an immigrant from Russia and the other a daughter of Swiss-born parents, reflect the creativity brought to America by immigrants from many cultures. Samuel Yellin and Marie Zimmerman both used the hammer as a tool to create hand-wrought masterpieces.
Master blacksmith Samuel Yellin was born
in Mogilev, Russia. Apprenticed to an iron master at age eleven, by sixteen he had completed his training. He left Russia and arrived in America at the age of twenty-one, eventually opening his own shop, where he worked in traditional methods while championing creativity and contemporary design. When the studio’s workload slowed during the Great Depression, Yellin sought a way to keep his workers busy. He created intricate designs on paper and asked them to experiment by executing them in “sketches of iron.” The Museum’s new acquisition demonstrates an extraordinary ability to manipulate metal, giving the impression that the material is far more malleable than it actually is, with pierced and split rods, thinly-hammered rolls, and unique flower discs.
Marie Zimmermann was one of the most original designers of the early 20th century. She created jewelry and metalwork in a dizzying array of materials, integrating traditional methods and styles with individualistic and modern designs. She produced several small decorative boxes, including the Museum’s Persian Box. This piece in silver and ivory with applied gemstones draws from Arabic and Chinese
sources. Inside the box awaits a surprise for the viewer: lining the interior are miniature paintings with Persian themes. Light shines through the ivory exterior to illuminate the precious paintings within, creating a remarkable aesthetic experience.
Persian Box, ca. 1932, green-gold plated silver box; base with ivory panels, painted in watercolor in interior, and decorated with malachite and lapis lazuli on the sides; blue-dyed howlite, pearls, lapis lazuli, and chrysoprase or jade on lid, 5" x 4 1/4" x 5 3/8”,Marie Zimmerman, painting by Gertrude Pew Robinson, Museum purchase 2013.26
implicity and clarity describe the works donated to the Museum by Wynn and Sally Kramarsky, foremost collectors
of American minimal and abstract drawings. Using the visual language of form, color, and line, artists produce abstract compositions that do not clearly reference real world objects. Minimalism takes this idea further by eliminating all non-essential features in the composition. Therefore, the simplest and fewest elements create a powerful effect. Although the drawings might appear very simple, the artists’ concepts used to produce them can be complicated and fascinating. Take, for example, If the Color Changes by Mel Bochner, an artist who explores the function of language and visual meaning. The title is a quotation from German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Remarks on Color: "Look at this color and say what it reminds you of. If the color changes you are no longer looking at the one I meant." In overlapping the German text and the English translation and including splotches of color, Bochner depicts the inability of language to fully describe what you see and what occurs in your mind. Wynn and Sally Kramarsky have been donating groups of drawings to regional and university museums across the country. Beginning January 12, 2014, a number of the works that they donated to the Columbus Museum will be on display in the Woodruff Works on
Paper Gallery. Examples by Bochner, as well as William Anastasi, Jill Baroff, Annabel Daou, Tad Mike, and Enrico Riley willbe included.

“If you know how to use a hammer, it is not tiring work to shape the pieces, the rebound lifts the tool for you. It isn’t at all difficult work for a woman.”
– Marie Zimmerman

SIMPLY DRAWN: GIFTS TO THE MUSEUM FROMTHE COLLECTION OF WYNN KRAMARSKY
“There is only one way to make a good decorative metalwork and that is with the hammer at the anvil.”
– Samuel Yellin
The Museum recently acquired a set of eight coin silver teaspoons produced by silversmiths who lived in Columbus. From the collection of the late Steven Cabot Barnes Harvey, a well-known scholar and collector of Southern fine and decorative art, these pieces strengthen our interpretation of early Columbus silver and decorative arts. None of the three silversmiths were represented in the Museum’s collection before this acquisition.
ELISHA REID:
Elisha Reid came to Milledgeville in 1814 to be the junior partner in the watchmaker and silversmith firm of T. & E. Reid with his relative Templeton Reid. This partnership lasted for about two years. In 1836 he and Templeton went to Columbus and revived the firm of T. & E. Reid to manufacture cotton gins. Their gin business was very successful, and although their shop was destroyed in a fire in 1846, the partnership continued in operation until Templeton’s death on August 2, 1851. In 1840, Elisha Reid was listed as a silversmith in Columbus. His relative Templeton is known to have worked as a watchmaker, silversmith, and gunsmith during his time in Columbus.
JACOB FOGLE:
Jacob Fogle arrived in Milledgeville in 1825 and worked there as a watchmaker and silversmith until 1836. In 1835, Fogle joined silversmith W. Foster in the firm of Foster and Fogle in Columbus, acting as an absent partner before his move in early 1837. Once in Columbus, Fogle soon began working independently in a shop on Broad Street. In late 1841, he sold his business and spent his remaining years as a dentist.
DANIEL SMITH:
Daniel, or D.S., Smith was one of Columbus’ first watchmakers and jewelers, but did not stay here long. On February 4, 1831, he advertised several pieces of silverware and jewelry for sale, as well as his services as a clock and watch repairman. By April 2, though, he announced he would be leaving for the North on or before May 1, and that all customers should pick up their items and settle their debts. There is no further record of him or his work.

Museum Membership Trip: Two Must-See Private Collections
Join us as we travel to Birmingham to visit two magnificent private collections. Our first stop will take us to the drawing and sculpture compilation of Michael Straus, a member of the Drawings Committee of the Whitney Museum of Art, and Chairman of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. His collection cannot be easily typecast; he tends towards works that have a conceptual element to them: A meaningful number of works of minimal artists working in New York in the '60s and '70s as well as a significant number of pieces by younger contemporary artists comprise the bulk of his collection.
We will dine at Daniel George restaurant in Mountain Brook Village for a leisurely lunch, then off to the second fabulous private collection.
Dr. David and Nan Skier are among the nation’s premiere collectors of the Ashcan school of painters. The collection, which has been featured in The Magazine Antiques, includes major works by American masters such as John Sloan, Robert Henri, and William Glackens. Their collected works also include exquisite antique tea caddies and calling card cases.
Space is strictly limited to 25 guests; please register by January 27 at columbusmuseum.com or 706.748.2562, ext. 544; $100 Museum members/$115 Future members.
