Gilded Age shines in exhibit
Opulence and sophistication reign at The Spencer Museum of art in the exhibit The Gilded Age: Treasures from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which opened Sept. 23 and runs until Sunday, Nov.19.

It's one of eight exhibits that are part of Treasures to Go, from the Smithsonian, which will tour the nation through 2002. The exhibit contains 60 pieces, including sculpture and paintings by artists such as John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer and Augustus St. Gaudens.
The term "Gilded Age" was coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their 1873 novel of the same name. It described the years between 1870 and World War I — a time of cultural and economic revolution.
"The wealth in the U.S. was relatively new rather than old," said Susan Earle, the Spencer's curator of European and American art, who is in charge of the show.
"The sense of the Golden Age is the years of work and tradition," Earle said. "It was not new. On the other hand, the Gilded Age had more surface qualities instead of depth. It was about new aspirations and culture."
The Gilded Age was sometimes seen negatively when compared with ancient Athens' Golden Age, she said.
Sally Hayden, public relations director for the museum said during the Gilded Age, said there were many people who were rising and getting wealthier, but there still was a large disparity between the wealthy and the impoverished. There also were many immigrants coming to the United States during this time, Hayden said.
As more people began to make the move to the United States, many American patrons were traveling to Europe and had developed an interest in art, Earle said.

"It was a way for them to participate in the production of culture," she said. "Collecting and supporting art was something they viewed as a way to support cultural and educational activity."
The Italian Renaissance heavily influenced the Gilded Age, also known as the American Renaissance. This is reflected in some of the works on display, such as Sargent's portrait of Elizabeth Winthrop Chanler. In the painting, two Renaissance paintings hang behind Chanler, indicating her status and the interest in the time period.
"It was common to adapt history to the time because it would prove their level of education and portrayed a certain sensibility to the time." Earle said.
The exhibit includes many images of women in powerful settings, ranging from domestic to public, such as "The Adoration of Joan of Arc."
