I was saddened to learn of the death of artist Peri Schwartz on May 7. I first met Ms. Schwartz in 2016, and was captivated by her paintings and prints that focused on the studio life. She took the humble material around her—stretched canvases, paint brushes, and jars of paint and ink—as the starting point for a meditation on color and form. When she offered to give the Portland Art Museum a work from her recent edition, I selected “Bottles and Jars III.” Ms. Schwarz explained that she worked tirelessly to prepare pigments that she would depict, varying the color, density, and opacity until she had the perfect balance. Not only the bottles but also their reflections shimmer in the limpid light of Schwartz's prints. The balanced composition, luminous color, and brilliant printing in color spitbite never fail to mesmerize me. This talented artist will be missed.⠀
—Mary Weaver Chapin, Curator of Prints and Drawings⠀

How do you feel when you look at this photograph of the Grand Tetons and the Snake River? Today and over the coming months, our Write Around PAM prompts will take inspiration from the “Ansel Adams in Our Time” exhibition currently on view at the museum. Adams took breathtaking landscape photographs of the American West, transporting viewers to sweeping vistas. Take a look at this landscape, and then close your eyes and take a deep breath. What do you notice in your body? What part of this photograph can you still see in your mind? What stays with you? Have you been able to visit the Grand Tetons? If so, what do you remember about them? If not, does this image remind you of another place you’ve been? We invite you to take some time today to write a bit, holding the energy and bountiful beauty of this photograph and this place in mind. ⠀
⠀
We have two prompts to help you get started. As always, you can use one, both, or write whatever else comes. Just set a timer for 9 minutes and keep your pen or pencil moving.⠀
⠀
A bend in the river… / The mountains rose...⠀
⠀
Writing in community is powerful. We are grateful to our longtime partner Write Around Portland for the writing prompts and inspiration. You can revisit past Sunday posts and look for continuing weekly posts through the summer, with a focus on Ansel Adams in Our Time during May, June, and July. Please share your work with us! @writearoundpdx @portlandartmuseum #RespectWritingCommunity #WriteAroundPAM ⠀

Education was a central component of Ansel Adams’s photographic practice. He established the fine art photography program at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1946, the first of its kind in the country. Six years prior, in 1940, he started teaching photography workshops. These group educational experiences, often held in Yosemite National Park, became yearly events by 1955.⠀
⠀
Oregon photographer Marian Wood Kolisch first attended a workshop with Adams in Yosemite in 1974. She created these photographs in the 1980s. Her images suggest that the artist himself was a popular subject for attendees, even though his workshops focused on the landscape. Today Kolisch is recognized for her exceptional photographic portraits of West Coast artists, many of which are part of the Museum’s permanent collection and can be viewed in our online collections.⠀

Minami Keiko’s etchings offer the magic of fairy tale-like, narrative settings. Her fine touches on the printing plate and understated colors result in delicate, sometimes whimsical scenes. For me, she is often sweet without being cloying. Yet some prints hint at a deeper and more mysterious sense of ennui, loneliness, or alienation. Minami was orphaned at a young age, and moved to Tokyo from Toyama prefecture at age 35 in 1946. Interested in poetry and painting from childhood, she began to study oil painting. She began etching after meeting artist Hamaguchi Yōzō. In 1954 they moved to Paris, where they both pursued successful artistic careers for three decades.⠀
⠀
Minami was a founding member of Joryū Hanga Kyōkai, or the Women’s Print Association—the first printmaking society for women artists in Japan. This group was important, but it has never gotten the critical attention it deserves. You can see this print and work by Minami’s peers in our current small show on this pioneering collective—the first exhibition in the world to focus on this group as a collective in the ‘50s and ‘60s.⠀

This work by Ansel Adams captures the seemingly solid, yet always fluid, energy of sand dunes. Shifting under foot, blowing in wind, never looking the same day to day, and yet steadily there. This “sand dune” energy feels like it mirrors our ever-shifting realities as we continue to grapple with changes at school, work, and home in response to the pandemic. We invite you to spend some time today writing about the ever-changing landscape of your everyday, using this landscape photograph as inspiration. ⠀

We have two prompts to help you get started. As always, you can use one, both, or write whatever else comes. Just set a timer for six minutes and keep your pen or pencil moving.⠀

Things that have changed… / Things that have stayed the same...⠀
