One of the most rewarding things a designer can experience is to see his or her work displayed in print in an area publication. "How to become published" was one of the topics discussed in this year's meeting schedule. If you have been featured in the press because of your accomplishment and expertise, please let us know so that we can share your achievement with the rest of our local membership. Your fellow members would love to hear about it and be able to congratulate you. Also, if you have the opportunity to be featured in a publication, remember to include your IDS Wine Country affilation. This will benefit both you and your Chapter. |

Hello Everyone, Presenting our newly updated and revamped website! Designed by our new Webmaster Christiane Werthimer. The IDS Wine Country website is here to be used as a business building tool for our members and an information portal for the community. We warmly welcome all ideas and suggestions for how to keep our website exciting, informative and user friendly. Please feel free to contact myself or Christiane with your suggestions. Thank you Christiane for all your fantastic work and efforts. I also want to welcome Megan Nelson as our new Event Planning Co-chair. Megan has been doing a great job with her events at Ceramic Tile Center and we are thrilled to have her come on board to work with Leslie Moore to plan and coordinate our events for the coming year. Corey Schulz, our chapter Historian, has been with IDS Wine Country from the beginning and has decided to join our sister chapter IDS Bay Area to keep her travel time down. We will miss Corey but thankfully Jennifer Austin has accepted her position and we welcome Jennifer into her new role on the IDS Board of Directors. 2010 is already off to a wonderful start. Our first event of the year at Bohemian Stoneworks in Sebastopol was very well attended. Guest speakers Heidi and Jim Noh-Kuhn, life and business coaches, inspired us to "Dare to Dream". Heidi and Jims presentation gave insight into transforming beliefs which may be holding you back from attaining your clear path to success and to opening the mental and emotional doorways for realizing your dreams. Thank you to Bohemian Stoneworks for hosting this event in their beautiful showroom and for providing such a delicious selection of food. This year we plan to continue our series of business building events and lectures. They will be of interest to all business professionals, not just the Design Trades. This has been a great way to attract a diverse crowd and increase networking opportunities for our members and guests. We look forward to increasing our chapter membership and growing our "Friends of IDS" contact list. We encourage everyone to invite a guest to one of our fun and informative events so that they too, can experience what the Wine Country design community can offer them! Sincerely, Julia Bombardier IDS Wine Country President |

Color lithograph © 2010 ARS, New York / ADAGP, Paris The Japanese Print in the Era of Impressionism introduces audiences to the development of the Japanese print over two centuries (1700–1900) and reveals its profound influence on Western art during the era of Impressionism. This exhibition complements the de Young Museum’s presentations of paintings from the Musée d'Orsay, many of which are aesthetically indebted to concepts of Japanese art. Culled primarily from the holdings of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, the exhibition of approximately 250 prints, drawings, and artist’s books unfolds in three sections: Evolution, Essence, and Influence. Evolution Evolution presents a chronological development of the Japanese print in Edo (present-day Tokyo), beginning with early black-and-white woodcuts and handcolored woodcuts. They are followed by delicate three- and four-color prints by early masters of ukiyo-e such as Suzuki Harunobu and Kitagawa Utamaro that feature the courtesans and beauties of the “floating world.” Landscape prints from the 1830s by Katsushika Hokusai and Ando Hiroshige are shown as examples of that important Japanese genre. Essence The Essence section features the Japanese aesthetic in print, and particularly highlights those subjects and compositional concepts that Western artists admired and imitated. Iconic images such as Hokusai's The Great Wave and Fuji above the Lightning from the series 36 Views of Mount Fuji (1831–1834) are shown here, as well as Hiroshige's Plum Orchard from his famous series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1857). Influence A large group of works by European and American artists of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist eras who were influenced by the Japanese print includes prints and drawings by Mary Cassatt, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The artists collected Japanese prints and often produced their own graphic work that, in composition, color, and imagery borrowed directly from the Japanese aesthetic. Henri Rivière’s homage to Hokusai Thirty-Six Views of the Eiffel Tower (1902) is featured, as well as the work of American artists such as Arthur Wesley Dow and Helen Hyde, who traveled to Japan to enhance their knowledge of the Japanese color woodcut. |
