Blaine & Louise Clyde Retrospective Exhibition
Blaine and Louise Clyde Galleries, New Wing, Upper Level
9 August 2008 – 22 March 2009
Opening Reception: 20 August 2008, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
The Blaine and Louise Clyde Retrospective Exhibition is in honor of the Clyde family contributions and celebrates Louise’s 90th year. The Museum thanks her and her family for the extraordinary gifts they have given to the museum and its collection. From majestic landscapes to personal portraits, the works of art in this exhibition are more than a grouping of extraordinary pieces from the Museum’s collection; they display the significance of a family’s generosity. The Springville Museum of Art pays tribute to the Blaine and Louise Clyde Family, their friends, and relatives.
The following exhibitions are on display from 13 September – 16 October 2008. The opening reception for these shows is on 13 September 2008, from 12:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Terpsikhorov: Master Artist of Mother Russia
Bird and Stepdown Galleries
Nikolai Borisovich Terpsikhorov (1890-1960) is well beloved among devotees and connoisseurs of Russian art. Among Soviet era artists whose paintings are both realistic and exhibit Narodnost, the “interests of the people and of the land,” Terpsikhorov takes a prominent place. His oeuvre encompasses many subjects including revolutionary, history, ethnographic, and working-class genre paintings, as well as portraits and an abundance of landscapes. Since the mastery of Terpsikhorov was developed on the basis of the reflection of Soviet life, all his pictures bear a definite stamp of social themes and revolutionary times. Yet, ultimately he is a painter of Russia and its exotic far flung empire.
