Presents
For over 60 years, Selden Rodman has immersed himself in the art and culture of Haiti, and his passion was the doorway for many to discover the powerful visual expression there. As an academic institution with an international mission, Ramapo College of New Jersey is very fortunate to have in its possession the renowned Selden Rodman Collection. The iniatial donation of art from Carole and Selden Rodman was made in 1983, with subsequent additions in later years. Another Rodman Collection consisting of fewer works is housed at the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven.
From the profoundly religious to the decorative, the visions in the collection here offer many thing to gallery visitors. These colorful masterworks of "popular arts" feature artists from the Americas and the Caribbean, giving us a rich multicultural link to the developing history of the Aftican Diaspora and the arts. And while our collection is one of the foremost in the world devoted to Haitian Art, its range exrtends to include "self-taught" North American artists and outstanding Mexican and Brazillian painters.
It has taken some time for Ramapo College to develop a gallery specially designed to be a permanent home fo such striking, beautiful art. This new Space, the Selden Rodman Gallery of Popular Arts, is devoted to the Rodman legacy. Within its walls rotating exhibitions from the collection will be presented on a regular basis as well as special exhibitons including loaned works. We will brlng scholars to provide differing contexts for our evolving presentations, and to create intersdisciplinary programming. Through these multifarious projects, we can expreience what Randall Morris terms " the vernacular muse" and thus provide the region with a major study and exhibition center.
