"Lineage". Curated by Erika Molyneux.
2013. Hamilton Library, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
Description from the JCF 2013–2014 news:
The Honolulu Printmakers mounted an exhibition in the first floor gallery at Hamilton Library, UH Mānoa, titled "Lineage" and curated by Erika Molyneux. The exhibition recognized the work of printmakers, including Charlot, who have been influential in the history and teaching of printmaking in Hawaiʻi; it featured two big Charlot serigraphs with gorgeous color, Lauhala, Kapakahi Stream, Kahala (1978, Morse 751), and Hala Grove, Kahuwai, Puna (1977, Morse 748).
Also on display was a piece of history: the 1941 box with which Charlot demonstrated the process of making color lithographs, using aluminum plates, stages and proofs of his 1938 print Tortilleras (Morse 401). The Education Department of New York City's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) made the box as part of an exhibition, "The Graphic Arts", that traveled around the US, in Canada and in New York schools until 1967. The box was rescued by a former MoMA volunteer who saved it from disposal, stored it for years, and donated it to the Jean Charlot Collection at UH Mānoa in 2006. A second iteration of the exhibition, installed by Toni Martin, was later shown at Gallery Iolani at Windward Community College.
"Jean Charlot: Hawaiian Drummers". Curated by Jay Jensen.

Description from the JCF 2013–2014 news:
In 2013 JCF board member and Honolulu Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art Jay Jensen put together a breathtaking exhibition of Charlot's depictions of Hawaiian drummers—one of Charlot’s favorite Hawaiian subjects. Charlot interpreted this theme in dozens of variations in all media—frescoes and tile murals, paintings, drawings, and prints—over the course of his career in Hawaiʻi.
The exhibition ("Jean Charlot: Hawaiian Drummers", Honolulu Museum of Art, September 27–November 24, 2013) presented, for the first time, an overview of Jean Charlot’s Hawaiian drummer works drawn from local public and private collections, including examples of Charlot’s earliest treatment of the pahu theme in 1949, all the way up to his last drummer image in 1977. The JCF made a grant to the Honolulu Museum of Art in partial support of the exhibition. Over twenty of the items on view were lent by the Jean Charlot Collection at UH Mānoa; others were lent by collectors and JCF members. Our members were invited to the opening of the show on September 27 as well as to a fascinating walk-through with the curator on November 17. Photographs of the exhibition were posted to the JCF website.
