Haddon Hufford is a master silversmith practicing his craft near Frenchtown, MT. Though he has lived in the Missoula Valley since 2006, the Missoula Art Museum was unaware of this inimitable craftsman working
within close proximity until Hufford submitted to the Montana Triennial in 2009. We are excited to present this intimate solo exhibition, HaddonHufford: Silversmith at MAM and to introduce Hufford and his work to our visitors.
Hufford was born and raised in New York’s Hudson River Valley. He studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before serving in Vietnam as a combat cameraman in the Army’s 1st Air Cavalry Division, 1969-71. Back in New York City, Hufford worked twenty-eight years in the film industry as a dolly and crane grip and set builder.

MAM Collections: The Parade Route
September 7, 2011 – February 13, 2012
Throughout history, artists have seen parades, circuses, and other strange spectacles as sources of both empathy and inspiration. This was especially true in the last century when modernists such as Picasso, Chagall, Klee, Kandinsky, and Calder used parades and circuses as source material in their work. Such processions and gatherings, marchings and minglings, protestings and celebratings occur for many reasons, providing a rich world of metaphor, psychology, and observation.
We perused the collection with this in mind, keeping a keen eye on ways in which local artists have seen the gathering of people as source and message material for their own work. In the collection vault we found Stan Healy’s voyeuristic documentations of parades and gatherings from the detachment of staff photographer, to the overtly political commentaries of Marvin Messing, Sheila Miles, and Jim Todd. We found the psychological explorations of Mary Ryan and…

MAM presents several acquisitions to the Permanent Collection to help reacquaint visitors with the variety and depth of ideas and approaches to art found in our collection vault. The drawings of Steve Muhs, acquisitioned from his recent MAM exhibition, join with local favorites Elizabeth Dilbeck and Lew Foster.
As modernist artists tired of and rejected academic styles, they sought inspiration in art forms outside the realm of official culture. In the 19th century, artists found refreshing and invigorating creative works considered exotic or primitive, such as masks from the continent of Africa, prints from Japan, or the
medieval and folk arts found throughout Europe. An interest in the art of insane asylum inmates grew in the 1920’s.
The post war French artist Jean Dubuffet was especially interested in these works, coining the term Art Brut. The more common term used in the United States is “Outsider Art,” co…

within close proximity until Hufford submitted to the Montana Triennial in 2009. We are excited to present this intimate solo exhibition, HaddonHufford: Silversmith at MAM and to introduce Hufford and his work to our visitors.
Hufford was born and raised in New York’s Hudson River Valley. He studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before serving in Vietnam as a combat cameraman in the Army’s 1st Air Cavalry Division, 1969-71. Back in New York City, Hufford worked twenty-eight years in the film industry as a dolly and crane grip and set builder. His journey into metalsmithing began serendipitously on a trip through Argentina in 1996.…

The drawings of Steve Muhs, acquisitioned from his recent MAM exhibition, join with local favorites Elizabeth Dilbeck and Lew Foster.
As modernist artists tired of and rejected academic styles, they sought inspiration in art forms outside the realm of official culture. In the 19th century, artists found refreshing and invigorating creative works considered exotic or primitive, such as masks from the continent of Africa, prints from Japan, or the
medieval and folk arts found throughout Europe. An interest in the art of insane asylum inmates grew in the 1920’s.
The post war French artist Jean Dubuffet was especially interested in these works, coining the term Art Brut. The more common term used in the United States is “Outsider Art,” co…

Major Sponsor Sierra Club
Producing Sponsored First Security Bank
Missoula Art Museum is proud to host a definitive exhibition by one of America’s most legendary photographers. The exhibition Ansel Adams: A Legacy consists of over 130 gelatin silver prints by the artist whom many consider an American master.
We cannot overstate Adams’ role in the construction of a contemporary visual language to interpret nature.
Adams married his craft with an intense love for the environment and his deeply rooted expressions will not be lost on our Montana audience. As he once stated, “I make photographs for personal expression. If it is used for the cause—why, I’m very happy.”
The San Francisco born photographer was raised in a nurturing and cultured environment by parents who beli…

Artist’s Reception and Gallery Talk: February 16, 7 PM
Master Class with Doug Russell: February 18, 12-3 PM
Doug Russell is a visual artist who lives and works in Laramie, WY. His exhibition, Confluences, is a large, concise body of work encompassing three separate series of drawings. Each series explores the passage of time and cyclic changes through Russell’s visual language of layered, evolving marks and transparency centered on monumental compositions.
Edifice, which comprises seven mixed media works on paper, is a literal study in time, process and evolution. In continual progress since 2005, Russell explains of the series that “the drawings reveal the passage of time through years of mark-making choices and changes.” The final phase of the drawings, recently realized in 2011, was to use the architectural forms c…

Artist’s Gallery Talk: November 4, 7 PM
Haddon Hufford is a master silversmith practicing his craft near Frenchtown, MT. Though he has lived in the Missoula Valley since 2006, the Missoula Art Museum was unaware of this inimitable craftsman working
within close proximity until Hufford submitted to the Montana Triennial in 2009. We are excited to present this intimate solo exhibition, HaddonHufford: Silversmith at MAM and to introduce Hufford and his work to our visitors.
Hufford was born and raised in New York’s Hudson River Valley. He studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before serving in Vietnam as a combat cameraman in the Army’s 1st Air Cavalry Division, 1969-71. Back in New York City, Hufford worked twenty-eight years in the film industry as a dolly and crane grip and set builder. His journey into metalsmithing began serendipitously on a trip through Argentina in 1996.…

MAM presents several acquisitions to the Permanent Collection to help reacquaint visitors with the variety and depth of ideas and approaches to art found in our collection vault. The drawings of Steve Muhs, acquisitioned from his recent MAM exhibition, join with local favorites Elizabeth Dilbeck and Lew Foster.
As modernist artists tired of and rejected academic styles, they sought inspiration in art forms outside the realm of official culture. In the 19th century, artists found refreshing and invigorating creative works considered exotic or primitive, such as masks from the continent of Africa, prints from Japan, or the
medieval and folk arts found throughout Europe. An interest in the art of insane asylum inmates grew in the 1920’s.
The post war French artist Jean Dubuffet was especially interested in these works, coining the term Art Brut. The more common term used in the United States is “Outsider Art,” co…

Haddon Hufford is a master silversmith practicing his craft near Frenchtown, MT. Though he has lived in the Missoula Valley since 2006, the Missoula Art Museum was unaware of this inimitable craftsman working
within close proximity until Hufford submitted to the Montana Triennial in 2009. We are excited to present this intimate solo exhibition, HaddonHufford: Silversmith at MAM and to introduce Hufford and his work to our visitors.
Hufford was born and raised in New York’s Hudson River Valley. He studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before serving in Vietnam as a combat cameraman in the Army’s 1st Air Cavalry Division, 1969-71. Back in New York City, Hufford worked twenty-eight years in the film industry as a dolly and crane grip and set builder.

MAM presents several acquisitions to the Permanent Collection to help reacquaint visitors with the variety and depth of ideas and approaches to art found in our collection vault. The drawings of Steve Muhs, acquisitioned from his recent MAM exhibition, join with local favorites Elizabeth Dilbeck and Lew Foster.
As modernist artists tired of and rejected academic styles, they sought inspiration in art forms outside the realm of official culture. In the 19th century, artists found refreshing and invigorating creative works considered exotic or primitive, such as masks from the continent of Africa, prints from Japan, or the
medieval and folk arts found throughout Europe. An interest in the art of insane asylum inmates grew in the 1920’s.
The post war French artist Jean Dubuffet was especially interested in these works, coining the term Art Brut. The more common term used in the United States is “Outsider Art,” co…

In continual progress since 2005, Russell explains of the series that “the drawings reveal the passage of time through years of mark-making choices and changes.” The final phase of the drawings, recently realized in 2011, was to use the architectural forms c…

Haddon Hufford: Silversmith
November 4, 2011 – April 15, 2012
Artist’s Reception: November 4, 5-8 PM
Artist’s Gallery Talk: November 4, 7 PM
Haddon Hufford is a master silversmith practicing his craft near Frenchtown, MT. Though he has lived in the Missoula Valley since 2006, the Missoula Art Museum was unaware of this inimitable craftsman working
within close proximity until Hufford submitted to the Montana Triennial in 2009. We are excited to present this intimate solo exhibition, HaddonHufford: Silversmith at MAM and to introduce Hufford and his work to our visitors.
Hufford was born and raised in New York’s Hudson River Valley. He studied graphic design at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before serving in Vietnam as a combat cameraman in the Army’s 1st Air Cavalry Division, 1969-71. Back in New York City, Hufford worked twenty-eight years in the film industry as a dolly and crane grip and set builder. His journey into metalsmithing began serendipitously on a trip through Argentina in 1996.…

As modernist artists tired of and rejected academic styles, they sought inspiration in art forms outside the realm of official culture. In the 19th century, artists found refreshing and invigorating creative works considered exotic or primitive, such as masks from the continent of Africa, prints from Japan, or the
medieval and folk arts found throughout Europe. An interest in the art of insane asylum inmates grew in the 1920’s.
The post war French artist Jean Dubuffet was especially interested in these works, coining the term Art Brut. The more common term used in the United States is “Outsider Art,” co…
