De Neyn calls attention to the perils of the road in this swift and decisively executed drawing. The scene captures the dramatic moment in which robbers take ownership of the contents of a horse-drawn wagon that has been held up at gunpoint, leaving one traveler face-down in the center foreground. Specific details, such as the depiction of the meandering trees and the convincingly foreshortened horses support the attribution to this Leiden-based landscape painter.
THE PICKER ART GALLERY AND THE BUILDING OF A COLLECTION
Every collection tells a story. Individual objects bring unique histories that become intertwined with each other and with the various human actors who make, use, collect, and study them. Collections form in a multitude of ways: some are highly intentional, perhaps reflecting the taste and priorities of a single individual; many are accidental, a conglomeration of objects from numerous sources and involving many people. The Picker Art Gallery collection originated from the premise that a rigorous study of human creativity is best done using primary sources—that being able to closely examine the original materials produced by artists and craftspeople can facilitate a deeper understanding of visual art and the work it does within cultures and societies. With this mission in mind, the museum’s collection has grown to approximately 11,000 objects.
This exhibition takes an in-depth look at the collection’s history through a selection of diverse objects—from a medieval French manuscript to American painting and contemporary photography. Complemented by images from the University Archives, the exhibition highlights significant moments in the collection’s development, considers the people who helped to build it, and what it has meant to Colgate. The Picker’s collection remains a work in progress and the exhibition touches on some of the complexities, contingencies, and practices that inform its past, present, and future. Like most art collections, this one requires continuous research, cultivation, and reassessment. There is much that is still unknown about many objects and about how they came to form part of the collection. There is also ample opportunity to set new directions for how the collection advances the museum’s teaching mission, encouraging us to think about what it means today and to envision its future as Colgate enters its third century.
The exhibition was developed with the help of a number of Colgate students. In particular, Daniel Shea ’20 did extensive research and writing. Other student contributors are Nicole Chen ’18, Alexa Davis ’22, and Emily Karavitch ’21.
