Spotlight on the Arts


Camera Works: masters In PhotograPhy

New exhibit at the Gibbes MuseuM of art beGiNs october 28 The Gibbes Museum of Art has a new exhibition that will run from October 28, 2011 through January 8, 2012. Camera Works: Masters in Photography, on view in the Rotunda Galleries, features twentieth-century masters of photography selected from the Gibbes permanent collection and local private collections.

In the early 20th century, New York-based artist and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz launched a photo journal, Camera Work, to promote the then-novel idea that photography could be an art form rather than simply a documentary medium or a lesser substitute for painting. The exhibition Camera Works features images captured by Stieglitz and his collaborator Clarence White, as well as Berenice Abbott, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Margaret Bourke-White, and other renowned 20th century American artists who embraced and explored the creative possibilities of early photography.

Through careful composition, post-production manipulation, shedding light on new subjects, revealing the beauty of the everyday, or capturing striking patterns in unexpected places, the artists in this early circle of

innovators pioneered styles and techniques that bravely exposed the potential of their chosen medium. These photographers figured out how to make a camera work. Writer Robert Marks, a Charleston native, collected works of this era and donated many of these pieces to the Gibbes in the 1970s. Much like Stieglitz’s initial push to move photography beyond the traditional, this donation expanded the Gibbes’s photograph collection beyond historical portraits, adding true art shots and catalyzing the museum’s enthusiasm for collecting photography. Camera Works: Masters in Photography showcases many of the photographs that Marks and others gave to the museum, as well as photographs of the period borrowed from private collectors.

For more information, visit www.gibbesmuseum.org or call 843-722-2706.

Charleston’s historiC Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bom-bardment. over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. to this day, the charm-ing Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market hall faces Meeting street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste. Charleston’s famous carriage tours also depart from the area.

Charleston City Market Gets an

UpdateVisitors will be pleased with the new $5.5 million dollar renovation to Charleston’s City Market. Buildings dating back to the 1800s have been spruced and updat-ed, but the changes to the Great Hall are some of the most noticeable.

The Hall has eleven more tenants than it did before the renovations, bringing the total to 20. Two new restaurants and new merchants give shoppers more options, and skylights and new lighting along the length of the air-conditioned building make it more airy and show off the archi-tectural details.

The market land was given to Charleston in 1788 by Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, with the provision it always be used for a public market. There is a common misconception the market was used to sell slaves before the Civil War, but it was not. Today, most of Charleston’s more than 4 million visitors per year visit the market.

What’s Cookin’?


She crab SoupNo visit to the Charleston area is complete without sampling a bowl of creamy She Crab soup. A cross between bisque and

chowder, this delicious Lowcountry original is a well-loved favorite with roots reaching back to colonial days.

Culinary historian John Martin Taylor, author of Hoppin’ John’s Lowcountry Cooking, credits the Scottish

settlers who arrived in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with bringing their famous seafood bisque recipe called

“partan-bree,” a crab and rice soup, to the area.

The addition of the crab roe, or crab eggs, is credited to William Deas, a butler and a cook to R. Goodwyn Rhett, mayor of Charleston. According the local legend, William Howard Taft (1857-1930), 27th president of the United States, was being “wined and dined” by Mayor Rhett at his home. The exact date seems to be lost in history, as President Taft visited the Rhetts in their home, the John Rutledge House Inn, several times between 1908 and 1912. Supposedly, the Rhetts asked their butler to “dress up” the pale crab soup they usually served. The butler added orange-hued crab eggs to give color and improve the flavor, thus inventing the Charleston delicacy know as She Crab Soup. whatscookingamerica.net

She crab Soup (Makes approximately 4 servings)This recipe was adapted from Charleston Receipts and is attributed to Mrs. Henry Church. Please note that only female crabs with the roe on the inside may be used, as crabs with roe on the outside are illegal to harvest. Chopped boiled egg yolks may be substituted for roe, but should be crumbled into the bottom of the soup plate.

Bring water in the bottom of a double boiler to a boil, reduce heat so that water barely simmers and make sure that the amount of water does not touch the bottom of the top of the double boiler. Melt butter in the top of a double boiler and blend with the flour until smooth. Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly. Add the crab meat and roe and all seasonings except sherry and cook slowly, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes. To serve, place a tablespoon of warmed sherry in the bottom of each individual soup bowl. Add soup and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with parsley and/or paprika.

1 tbsp butter, unsalted1 qt milk1/2 c heavy cream, whipped1 tsp onion juice (may

substitute lemon juice)1/4 tsp mace

1/4 tsp pepper1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce1 tsp flour2 c white crab meat and

crab roe (eggs)1/2 tsp salt

4-6 tbsp dry sherrypaprika, and or fresh parsley (to garnish)

About 25 miles from downtown Charleston, a trip to Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site gives visitors a rare look into a remarkably preserved past. An archaeological treasure, the park rests on the site of Dorchester, a trading town that flourished on the Ashley River inland from Charleston from 1697 through the Revolutionary War.

Intact remains of the old town include the brick bell tower of St. George’s Anglican Church, a fort made of the oyster-shell concrete called tabby and part of a log wharf visible at low tide. When the town was abandoned after the Revolution, the forest and later a community park protected the site, leaving remarkably undisturbed evidence of village life just beneath the surface.

Today, visitors to Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site can watch as archaeologists unearth the settlement’s history and even participate in digs. Together with abundant historical records from Charleston, the site is helping to paint a clearer picture of colonial life in the American South. A kiosk and interpretive trail offer exhibits and waysides on the history of the village and the process of discovery through archaeological and historical research.

Other programs at the park include Living History Reenactment of the time period between the 1740s and 1760s. The Independent Company of South Carolina, Fort Dorchester Garrison is a living history group that brings history to life with programs throughout the year. During Garrison weekends, visitors can interact with authenti-cally clothed historic interpreters as they demonstrate tasks and skills common to the American Colonial period. Cooking, blacksmithing, medical practices, military drill and musket firing are common demonstrations. Garrison weekends are scheduled for the first weekends of October, November and December.

For more information about the park and programs, call 843-873-1940 or visit www.southcarolinaparks.com. Admission to the park is $2 for adults, $1.25 for South Carolina seniors and children age 15 and under are free. Hours are Monday through Sunday, 9 am-6 pm.

Ranging “from Gospel to Gershwin,” The Sound of Charleston concerts are an amazing musical experience combining Charleston’s cultural heritage with remarkable musical talent. Held in the Circular Church in downtown Charleston, the 2011-2012 season will leave listeners in awe while singing along to “Amazing Grace” in the very church that helped inspire the hymn. The composer of the famous hymn, an officer on a slave ship, spent several weeks in Charleston in 1749. After hearing a sermon preached at the Independent Meeting House, which is now the Circular Congressional Church, the officer, John Newton, was converted and later became an Anglican minister. His faith led him to write “Amazing Grace.”

For over three centuries, Charleston’s musical heritage has been as diverse as the people who have lived here – haunting spirituals of slaves first arriving in America through the port; Civil War camp songs from both sides in this place where the first shots were fired; pieces such as “Amazing Grace” and Pachelbel’s “Canon” that are wonderfully connected to the history of this great city; and, of course Porgy and Bess, inspired and composed in Charleston by the incomparable George Gershwin. This is but a snapshot of the rich array of music that makes up The Sound of Charleston.

Co-founded in 2010 by local residents Yvonne Evans and Bill Perry, Charleston Musical Heritage Productions’ goal is to expand the cultural offerings available to the over four million visitors to Charleston each year, giving residents and visitors a better appreciation of the important role music has played in the Charleston’s heritage. Since its premiere, The Sound of Charleston has received standing ovations and rave reviews from apprecia-tive audiences from around the country and the world, as well as here in the Lowcountry.

A full schedule of performances, as well as advance ticket sale information, can be found at www.soundofcharleston.com or by calling the box office at 843-270-4903. Tickets are $28 for adults, $25 for seniors and students, and $16 for children. Group rates are available.

After four years of brutal and bitter warfare, all but the most unfailingly loyal of Confederate hearts knew the end had come. No longer could pride and will alone carry their Cause—an industrial boot heel had come to crush the once-idyllic South. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman had broken through the gateway into the heart of the Confederacy. Any manner of gentility, of honor in battle, seemed to die in the general’s wake, and South Carolina waited with bated breath to see what he would do next as Atlanta went up in flames. General John Bell Hood and what remained of the Confederate Army were on a mad dash north to Tennessee, leaving the vulnerable Southern heartland behind him.

General Sherman had made no illusions as to what he was about in a letter to Atlanta on September 1864:

“You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it…You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war… [you must] stop the war…it began in error and is perpetuated by pride.”

Shortly thereafter began the “March to the Sea,” where 60,000 of the Union’s fittest troops marched in two legs across Georgia, “foraging liberally” on the countryside while the rest of the Union Army was dispatched to deal with General Hood. The Confederates were facing a winter campaign with no supplies and through a series of disasters and pitfalls the last of the war in the Western Theater rushed in with a deadly tide in Tennessee. Meanwhile, Sherman marched uncontested through Georgia, burning plantations and earning the undying hatred of the South forever. Sherman would become a symbol of destruction, the coming of the industrial age—a stern and battle-hardened visage that forever reminded the people of all that had been lost. Upon capturing Savannah, South Carolinians prepared to suffer even greater torments—it was the Heart of Secession.

“It was a lively, rushing, young set that South Carolina put to the fore [in 1860-61]. They knew it was a time of imminent danger, that the fight would be ten to one. They

expected to win by activity, energy and enthusiasm.” Diarist Mary Boykin Chesnut, beleaguered with the war, reflected upon the desolate Carolina landscape left in Sherman’s tracks as he moved into South Carolina. A woman who loved her home and family, yet saw the folly of their ways and suffered because of them, found herself vaulting between despair and resolute strength. “They say Sherman has burned Lancaster—that Sherman nightmare, that ghoul, that hyena! But I do not believe it. He takes his time…he does things leisurely and deliberately.” In another entry, she lamented at watching the old ways die as they crumbled beneath the claws of the iron dragon. “There they go, the gay and gallant few, doomed; the

last gathering of the flower of Southern pride, to be killed, or worse…They march with as airy a tread as if they still believed the world was all on their side.”

Rumors were rampant that Sherman would aim for Charleston after Savannah and despite urgings from his superiors at the war department, the general declined. “Charleston is now a mere desolated wreck, and is hardly worth the time it would take to starve it out. Still, I am aware that, historically and politically, much importance is attached to the place…One reason I would ignore Charleston is this: [sic] I know the neck back of Charleston can be made impregnable to assault, and we will hardly have time for siege operations.”

In the end, General Sherman spared Charleston, but the state capitol of South Carolina did not fare so well. Columbia burned among a hellish frenzy of drunken Union soldiers, escaping Confederates and hysterical slaves with newfound freedom, with heavy winds to fan the flames. It wasn’t long afterward that the dark news bled through the South: General Robert E. Lee had capitulated to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia. As of April 9, 1865, the American Civil War was at an end.


The American spirit was forged by blood and fire in


One month later, General William T. Sherman toured Charleston, his reflections perhaps on another time, before the war when he was stationed at Fort Moultrie. “We went into Charleston Harbor, passing the ruins of old Forts Moultrie and Sumter without landing. We reached the city of Charleston…walked the old familiar streets—Broad, King, Meeting, etc.—but desolation and ruin were everywhere. The heart of the city had been burned. I inquired after my old friends, but they were dead or gone. I doubt whether any city was ever more terribly punished than Charleston, but as her people had for years been agitating for war and discord, and finally inaugurated the civil war by an attack on the small and devoted garrison of Major Anderson…the judgment of the world will be that Charleston deserved the fate that befell her.”

Time stood still in Charleston, for even Southerners turned their backs on the city that had started the Civil War. Human nature brought a focus on gentler times, perhaps blame being meaningless after so great a devastation. Playwright Oscar Wilde once quipped that during a visit to Charleston in the 1870s he met an old gentleman in White Point Gardens and was marveling at the sight of the misty moon above. “Have you ever seen a moon look so beautiful?” Wilde asked. The elderly Charleston man looked at him with a bitter smile and replied, “Son, you should have seen it before the war!”

A great city in America’s past, Charleston recalls the old adage that all great cities are beautiful and ugly. On this 150th Civil War Anniversary, she is a testament of all things American: pride, restlessness, courage, and rash action. The willingness to fail or succeed, yet always follow the heart. The American spirit was forged by blood and fire in the American Civil War—to bring together one nation, united today.
