THE FIRST EXHIBITION AT THE BRUCE MUSEUM TOOK PLACE IN 1912 AND FEATURED WORKS BY LOCAL ARTISTS KNOWN AS THE GREENWICH SOCIETY OF ARTISTS, SEVERAL OF WHOM WERE MEMBERS OF THE COS COB ART COLONY. THE COS COB SCHOOL OF AMERICAN PAINTING IS NOW WELL ESTABLISHED AS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN ART AND IT FORMS THE NUCLEUS OF THE MUSEUM'S HOLDINGS OF PAINTINGS, WATERCOLORS, DRAWINGS, AND NOTEBOOKS BY ARTISTS SUCH AS LEONARD AND MINA OCHTMAN, GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS, AND HOBART JACOBS. PARALLELING AN INTEREST IN CONNECTICUT PAINTERS AND THEIR WORKS, EARLY DIRECTORS OF THE BRUCE MUSEUM PURSUED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATURAL SCIENCES, BUILDING PARTICULAR STRENGTHS IN THE MINERAL AND AVIAN COLLECTIONS. THE BRUCE MUSEUM WAS EXPANDED IN 1993 AND INCLUDES NEARLY 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF EXHIBITION SPACE, COMPRISED OF ONE MAIN GALLERY, THREE SMALLER GALLERIES, AND A LECTURE HALL. THE MUSEUM ATTRACTS APPROXIMATELY 80,000 VISITORS ANNUALLY AND OPERATES UNDER ACCREDITATION BY THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS.THE BRUCE MUSEUM OFFERED A VARIETY ART AND SCIENCE EXHIBITIONS IN 2012-2013 THAT EDUCATED AND ENGAGED OUR DIVERSE, COMMUNITY AUDIENCE. EACH EXHIBITION FEATURED WORLD-CLASS ART, OBJECTS AND ARTIFACTS THAT FOCUSED ON THE NEEDS AND INTERESTS OF OUR VISITORS AND OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. IN ORDER TO CELEBRATE THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY, THE ONE-HUNDRED YEAR OLD BRUCE WAS PROUD TO PRESENT A THREE-PART EXHIBITION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ENTITLED, MARKING A CENTURY: RECENT AND PROMISED GIFTS TO THE BRUCE MUSEUM. THE EXHIBITION WAS COMPRISED OF APPROXIMATELY 100 RECENT GIFTS TO THE MUSEUM, HIGHLIGHTING SOME OF THE REMARKABLE DONATIONS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED IN RECENT YEARS AND THANK THE SUPPORTERS WHO GAVE MUNIFICENTLY TO OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. AMONG THE OUTSTANDING WORKS FEATURED IN THE EXHIBITION SERIES WERE A TRANQUIL, LUMINIST LANDSCAPE BY THE AMERICAN 19TH-CENTURY PAINTER MARTIN JOHNSON HEADE, A EUROPEAN 19TH-CENTURY WORK FAUN AND BACCHANTE BY WILLIAM-ADOLPHE BOUGUEREAU AND A FINE BRONZE SCULPTURE OF A NEAPOLITAN FISHERBOY BY JEAN BAPTISTE CARPEAUX. OTHER GIFTS OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY WORKS FEATURED IN THE SHOW INCLUDED A SMALL MAQUETTE BY HENRY MOORE, AND A LARGE PIECE BY ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG ENTITLED, GREYHOUND NIGHTMARE. THE EXHIBITION SERIES WAS A SUCCESS, BRINGING THE MUSEUM APPROXIMATELY 8,360 VISITORS WHO LEFT WITH A GREATER APPRECIATION OF WHAT THE BRUCE MUSEUM HAS TO OFFER THROUGH ITS DIVERSE AND EVER-GROWING PERMANENT COLLECTION. IN ANOTHER COMMUNITY-FOCUSED EXHIBITION HELD IN 2012, THE MUSEUM WELCOMED SELF-PORTRAITS CREATED ENTIRELY BY THE PUBLIC FOR THE PUBLIC FOR YOUR FACE SQUARED: COMMUNITY SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT (NOVEMBER 17, 2012 - JANUARY 27, 2013). WE INVITED VISITORS OF ALL AGES TO SUBMIT AN ORIGINAL PORTRAIT CREATED IN ANY MEDIUM. THIS COMMUNITY-BASED EXHIBITION WAS AN EXPERIMENT WITH VISITOR ENGAGEMENT AND WE ARE DELIGHTED TO REPORT THAT MORE THAN 650 SUBMISSIONS CAME IN TO THE BRUCE MUSEUM SHOW. IT WAS AN HONOR TO SHARE THE CREATIVE OUTPOURING FROM A COMMUNITY THAT HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH. FACE & FIGURE: THE SCULPTURE OF GASTON LACHAISE (SEPTEMBER 22, 2012 - JANUARY 6, 2013) WAS ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT FROM 2012-2013. FEATURING A SERIES OF GREAT NUDES AND PORTRAITS THAT SECURED HIS REPUTATION, THE BRUCE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITION UNDERSCORED LACHAISES MEDITATIONS ON FLESH AND SPACE. PERHAPS THE MOST REMARKABLE OF THESE IS THE NUDE FIGURE OF CRITIC, HISTORIAN, AND FOUNDER OF THE NEW YORK CITY BALLET, LINCOLN KIRSTEIN, A WORK THAT HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE BRUCE MUSEUM. ONE OF ONLY TWO EXAMPLES OF THE SCULPTURE (THE WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART POSSESSES ITS TWIN), THE 23.5INCH BRONZE CONFOUNDS THE USUAL DISTINCTION BETWEEN FIGURE AND PORTRAIT, AS ITS BIFURCATED TITLE INDICATES: MAN WALKING (PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN KIRSTEIN). AMONG OUR SCIENCE SHOWS WAS AN INNOVATIVE EXHIBITION ON A PERENNIAL FAVORITE - CHINASAURS: DINOSAUR DISCOVERIES FROM CHINA (JANUARY 26 - APRIL 21, 2013).
