Dead Blogging 'Fabricating Modernism' at the Currier Museum

Well the Missus and I trundled up to the Granite State over the weekend to check out the newly installed exhibits at Manchester’s Currier Museum of Art and say, they were swell. We started at Fabricating Modernism: Prints from the School of Paris (through January 7), which features artworks that “constitute a small portion of an extensive collection of prints committed to the Currier Museum of…

Noah's Ark

Artist: Edward Hicks (American, 1780–1849)

Date: 1846

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Painting Description

By the spring of 1816 Quaker minister Edward Hicks had reconciled his penchant and skill for ornamental painting with Quaker ideas of simplicity and plainness by liberally interpreting his religion's codes about earning a living by honest work. At this time he rejoined the painting shop he had established in 1811 and began creating landscape, history, and religious art for his family and friends in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. This unusual image of Noah's ark is based on an 1844 lithograph by Nathaniel Currier. The animals Hicks added to the scene resemble those in his earlier representations of his favorite biblical subject: Isaiah's prophecy of the “peaceable kingdom.” The cooperative animals express Hicks's Quaker belief in mankind's ability to live together harmoniously in nature, just as the story of Noah promises humanity a fresh start.

The biblical story of Noah’s ark, depicted here, is found in the book of Genesis (6:9–9:28). To punish people for their wicked and violent ways, God decided to send heavy rains to earth for forty days and forty nights. First, however, he instructed Noah, a righteous man, to build an ark for his family and two of every kind of animal. After the rains stopped, a dove sent out by Noah returned to the ark with an olive branch, proof that the floodwater had receded and plants could grow again. Then God created a beautiful rainbow in the sky as a symbol of his promise to never destroy the earth again.

Saturday, Sept. 21, 2024: Dennis and I visited the Zimmerman House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Manchester, New Hampshire. It seemed like a very comfortable place to live. We also saw the Currier Museum.

Reminds me of a 1953 Hyman Bloom painting I saw at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH :-)

It’s called Cadaver On Table.
