Hands to Work, Hearts to God: Celebrating Mother Ann Lee’s Legacy
2024-09-22 00:00 - 2025-01-12 23:59 (America/New_York) | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
September 22, 2024 – January 12, 2025
Reception: November 10, 2024, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Ann Lee (1736-1784), known to the Shakers as “Mother Ann,” is the founder of the Shaker religion, also known as the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing. She inspired thousands of followers through her philosophy of community, equality and charity, and her mantra, “Hands to work, hearts to God.” As a result of many years of religious persecution, Mother Ann died prematurely, 240 years ago. This exhibit explores her legacy, and the inspiration she imparted on the women, or “sisters,” who lived and worked in the nineteen Shaker communities in the United States.
Objects on view from the museum’s collection highlight industries that “sisters” were engaged in, and are juxtaposed with works by Massachusetts artist Laura Christensen, who interprets Mother Ann Lee’s life and work. Christensen, who works with vintage photographs, has created two and three-dimensional works that explore aspects of Mother Ann Lee’s vision and the impact she had on her followers.

Reception: November 10, 2024, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

Collecting American paintings was an adventure in art appreciation for the Weyerhaeuser family. Interest in American paintings was fostered by museum co-founders Carl and Edith Weyerhaeuser and went back several generations. The collection came to encompass canvases from important phases in American landscape painting as well as other genres.
Among the holdings are works by Hudson River School painters: Albert Bierstadt and Jasper Francis Cropsey; American Impressionists: Childe Hassam, Dennis Miller Bunker, and John Singer Sargent, as well as paintings by George Bellows, a devoted member of the Ashcan School who helped to organize the 1913 Armory Show. Also included are works from other American artists: Eric Aho, Charles Burchfield, Elisabeth Weber-Fulop (Duxbury), Clarence Gihon, William Sargent Kendall, George Nick, Paul Sample and more.

In the work exhibited, they draw inspiration from their own personal map tacks, the physical locations where they have lived, worked, and played. They also examine the idea that they are here because of the decisions made by their ancestors, who chose to immigrate to America and grow roots in New England. Original artwork and printed products will be on display. Displayed together, they will show the journey from idea to pattern to product and the rest stops along the way.
