William Woodward
Moonlight Glade (small private burial ground in New England)

circa 1899

About the Item

"Moonlight Glade", a small intimate etching of a New England graveyard, is a remembrance of the artist's roots. There is a quiet reverent calm to this moonlit scene,. William Woodward, born in Seekonk, Massachusetts, received his art training at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Massachusetts Normal Art School. He taught at the Rhode Island School of Design while still a student there. At the behest of William Preston Johnston, Woodward moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, to teach fine arts, mechanical drawing, and architectural drawing at the newly founded Newcomb College of Tulane University. In 1886 he extended his honeymoon through Scotland and England to include a three-month summer study at the Académie Julian in Paris where he found a new direction for his artistic development, seeing for the first time Impressionist works, a style he came to employ in his architectural scenes. He fully embraced French Impressionism giving it a southern "twist" all his own.

Lotus
By Maki Hino
Located in New Orleans, LA
Hino creates a still life of a lotus from an edition of 65. A prominent figure in Buddhist and Egyptian culture, and native flower for both India and Vietnam, the lotus holds enormous symbolic weight. It spans various thousand-year-old Eastern cultures and yet, is still considered one of the most sacred flowers today. So what is it about this mysterious blossom that people find so enrapturing? Its colorful bloom is an obvious suspect, but the lotus also has a life cycle unlike any other. With its roots based in mud, it submerges every night into murky river water, and—undeterred by its dirty environment—it miraculously re-blooms the next morning without residue on its petals. Although cultures have their own interpretations of this daily process, there is a general consensus among ancient texts...
