ART

'500 Years of Wine'

by Caren Le Brun Dankian

The Busch-Reisinger Museum is celebrating its Germanic heritage of art and wine-making in an unusual exhibition "500 Years of Wine in the Arts," spotlighting a selection of German, Austrian and Swiss prints, drawings, sculptures, glassware, etc. from the renowned collection of the Christian Brothers of California.

The exhibit opened with a wine and cheese reception which introduced not only the Busch-Reisinger's new director, Otto Siel, to the Boston art world, but also the Christian Brothers Wine Museum. Otto Siel, the Museum's Curator, Mrs. Norman Fromm and Brother Timothy, O.S.B., of the Christian Brothers, accompanied Mrs. Fromm. "This is the 38th and last stop for the exhibition which will not be seen again in the United States. It will be housed in the Christian Brothers Wine Museum scheduled to open in San Francisco in early 1973."

"Begun about 30 years ago," said Mrs. Fromm, "the collection today is probably the single largest in the world devoted to the subject of wine in the United States. It consists of over 350 original prints and drawings, including Daumier, Picasso, and many others, dating from the 1450s; 250 dimensional art objects of wood, bronze, silver, glass, etc.; and a library of about 2,000 art books dating as early as 1547.

"Our glass collection is one of the largest with pieces dating back to B.C. We always continue to acquire new pieces for the collection and I have found many new prints in Boston in the past."

The Christian Brothers is a teaching order of the Roman Catholic Church which was founded in Rheims, France, in 1819. The Christian Brothers of California began making sacramental wine in 1882 and the proceeds from the sale of these wines help support 14 schools in the Order's Western Province.

For the Busch-Reisinger show the entire collection has been focused on the art works from the wine-producing countries of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The subjects are universal and recurring - the vine, the vineyard, illustrations from the story of Joshua and Caleb, who, according to the Bible, carried the grape from the Promised Land, and, of course, the god of wine, Bacchus, the ancient god of wine.

The pagan and religious iconography intermingle throughout the show, as noted in the array of sculpture - an 18th century Austrian polychromed statue of "St. Urban of Langenlois," a patron saint of wine, holding in his left hand a missal topped by a grape; an 18th century Austrian gilt wood statue of an angel seated on a small barrel, holding a glass of wine and a palm frond, and an almost life-size Rococo wood figure of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, a small intricate bronze statue of Bacchus by Carl Brose, and a 1770 Baroque silver-gilt cup by Paul Cauer, from the workshop of the young Virgin Mary. From ecclesiastical silver chalices to a carved longhorn drinking horn in the form of a vine, the collection is complete with a young Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, the spirit and the flesh.

Wine mentioned in literature begins with the epics of Homer and Classical literature has often been illustrated with outstanding prints such as those on view of Bacchus from "The Works of Virgil," published in 1654, by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, and the 17th century Dutch artist, Jan van de Velde, the Younger. The 18th century is represented by a print of Joshua and Caleb bearing grapes from the Promised Land, by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, and a print of 1800 by the English artist, Francis. The 19th and 20th centuries are represented by a woodcut of 1893 by the German artist, Max Slevogt, and a lithograph of 1920 by the Swiss artist, Hans Erni, born in 1909 - one "Bacchus and Nymph," a bucolic scene, and a stunning oil of 1965 by Oskar Kokoschka, "The Fox and the Grapes," a fable by Aesop.

The Busch-Reisinger Museum at the Massachusetts State House is a welcome addition to the Boston art scene. The emphasis is on the fine arts of the German-speaking countries and the exhibition is a fine example of the museum's new direction under its new director.

Contemporary graphics and drawings in the show are of a high caliber and include three prints by the Swiss artist Hans Erni, born in 1909 - one "Bacchus and Nymph," a bucolic scene, and a stunning oil of 1965 by Oskar Kokoschka, "The Fox and the Grapes," a fable by Aesop.

Tom Nicholas also portrays the brown wine bottles of Massachusetts half-filled by the pure white snow of the New England hills and fields. The setting for houses, and a bridge over frozen water.

Wayne H. Shampang, who has studied with Jack Levin and Karl Zerbe, has done a very different kind of snow scene. "The Fox and the Grapes," a fable by Aesop, is a whimsical, almost cartoon-like, and a far cry from the somber, realistic style of his earlier work.

The exhibit compiled by the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities and the De Cordova Museum in Lincoln, is a wide selection of the best in contemporary watercolors and drawings.

Snowscapes are the preference of many of the artists - each capturing New England winter scenes with varying degrees of gusto and sensitivity. Jack Levin's "Snow Scene," Jack Levine's "The Bunker Hill Monument," and Ed Hopper's "The Fox and the Grapes," are a few of the many snow scenes in the show. The paintings are not all winter scenes, however. There are also landscapes, seascapes, and a few still lifes. The exhibition is a fine example of the best in contemporary New England art.

The exhibition is a fine example of the best in contemporary New England art.
