ACQUISITIONS
Decorative Arts Shine in New Galleries
Exciting gallery changes
connect decorative arts
with paintings, sculpture
and works on paper.
Striking new acquisitions
and rarely seen Museum
pieces are now on display.
Thrilling changes at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art
are leading to new interpretations, displays, conservation
treatments and acquisitions in the decorative arts collections.
The major shift originated with the Museum’s initiative
to integrate decorative arts with appropriate paintings,
sculpture and works on paper in order to create dynamic
and intellectually stimulating installations.
Art of different media will now be experienced together,
as in Gallery 132, where visitors can encounter a pair of Art
Nouveau silver candelabra crafted about 1900 by the
Austrian jewelers Vinzenz Mayer’s Söhne, adjacent to the
Impressionist Wooded Landscape at L’Hermitage, Pontoise by
Camille Pissarro of about 1879. The swirling design of the
candelabra twists and bends, echoing the tree limbs in
Pissarro’s painted landscape. Although made of very different
materials, both objects demonstrate the late 19th-century
interest in nature that is abstracted, yet infused with
movement and light. The candelabra are new acquisitions,
purchased with monies from the Charlotte and Perry Faeth
Fund, established in 2001 for the express purpose of
acquiring decorative arts.
Other new acquisitions include the glazed stoneware Vase by
Edmond Lachenal, from about 1895, which is displayed
among the Post-Impressionist paintings in Gallery 129. Here
Lachenal has been informed by the arts, especially ceramics,
of Japan in form, motif and color. An earlier, more literal
application of organic ornament is demonstrated in the
