Lorraine Carren (1930-2021)

Lorraine Carren, a former docent and member of the Mitchell Gallery Board of Advisors passed on June 1. Lorraine was one of our very first docents when our program began with the late Mary Hurd, Mary Kay Biern, and Jack Carr, along with past docent Joanne Vinson, and our current docents Judy Nevins, Marietta Schreiber and Carole Falk.

Here is the biography Lorraine submitted to us, which is a testimony to her knowledge and involvement in all things fine.

"I was born and raised in New York City. Received Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work degrees from the Univ. of Illinois. Also received a Master of Fine Arts (in art history) from the Univ. of Md. I was Director of the Diane Brown Gallery in D.C. I subsequently wrote an art column and was restaurant critic for the Annapolis "Capital."

I was first Chair of Docents at the National Museum of American Art. I am currently a docent and Docent Council member at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. I have also been a docent at Paca House and LondonTowne.

I serve in the Arts Committee of Anne Arundel County and on the Mitchell Gallery Board of Advisors. I have been a Mitchell Gallery docent since the docent program was initiated."

Lorraine’s obituary may be found through the Legacy site:

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/washingtonpost/obituary.aspx?n=lorraine-carren-wallach&pid=198946133&fhid=42144

We, at the Mitchell Gallery, send our heartfelt sympathies to her lovely husband Don and thank Lorraine in our hearts for all shared with us and the community at large.

“LENS & BRUSH: WORKS BY FRANK E. SCHOONOVER”
April 1–May 16, 2021

Frank E. Schoonover (1877–1972) is known for his works found in Harper’s Weekly, Scribner’s, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, American Boy, and other publications. Schoonover—along with N.C. Wyeth, Jesse Willcox Smith, and others—was a prized student of Howard Pyle, the founder of the Brandywine School of American Illustration. Through Pyle’s encouragement, Schoonover traveled by snowshoe and dog sled across parts of Canada and North America, taking photographs of his environments that were later used as image references. This exhibition, which includes more than 40 works, provides a glimpse into Schoonover’s resources, technical skill, and creativity used for his highly acclaimed illustrations.

Curated by John Schoonover, president and curator, Schoonover Studios. Organized by Lucinda Dukes Edinberg.

In 1902, McClure’s Magazine commissioned Schoonover for his first muckraking assignment for the story, “The Children of the Coal Shadow.” This story, published February 1903, exposed the wretched working conditions of young Breaker Boys in the Pennsylvania Anthracite region. Schoonover sketched and photographed life at a colliery near Scranton, Pennsylvania, for several days. The photograph and resulting drawing are iconic and compelling statements of youthful adolescence in a dark, coal environment. This photograph was taken with a flash, a new invention in photography.

Jacob Lawrence Genesis Series

Hear Art Educator Lucinda Edinberg on Jacob Lawrence's Genesis series. This video will be available through October 6, 2020. Based on biblical texts and his own memory of the Sunday sermons of the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, New York, Jacob Lawrence’s “Genesis” series provides a richly personal interpretation. The bright colors and the expressive, monumental preacher figure that stands central in each work reflect the artist’s affinity for action and resonance given in the sermon. Inspired by realism and details of iconography, these silkscreen prints also reveal Lawrence’s interest in references from art history and, together with a universally celebrated narrative, provides an important voice to American art and artists. The works are on loan courtesy of the collection of Alitash Kebede of Los Angeles, CA. The exhibition and museum tour are organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions of Los Angeles, CA. “Jacob Lawrence: Three Series of Prints: Genesis—Toussaint L’Ouverture—Hiroshima” is made possible through the generosity of the Maryland State Arts Council and the Mitchell Gallery Board of Advisors.
