  • The Great Depression the Great Depression of the Thirties Began in the United States with "Black Tuesday." on That Day, October 29, 1929, the Stock Market Crashed
    WPA Prints - An Essay The WPA Prints constitute one of the many collections in the Kelvin Smith Library's Special Collections Research Center. This area of the library was specifically designed to provide a protective and controlled environment for rare books, manuscripts, and special collections, which, because of their rarity, value, fragility, ephemeral nature, or because they are part of a distinctive subject or author collection, require special care and handling. Among the Center's holdings, besides rare books, early imprints, and manuscripts, there are separate collections such as the E.J. Bohn papers and the Karal Ann Marling Collection, as well as reference books and bibliographies relating to them. Ernest J. Bohn was an important pioneer — locally, nationally, and internationally — in the field of public housing. In fact, he was directly responsible for the Ohio Public Housing Act, the very first in the nation. When Case art history professor Karal Marling donated her papers to the library, she wished that they join those of Mr. Bohn, who had assisted her research and allowed her free access to the WPA prints and to his entire collection. Mr. Bohn's papers contain records of his participation, as director of the Metropolitan Housing Authority, in the original federal New Deal art programs. On the library website are the Prints from the WPA, beautifully digitized and arranged alphabetically by artist. Additionally, there are two digital exhibits: African American Artists in the WPA Collection and Women Artists in the WPA Collection. Both of these focus on the work of particular artists and provide interesting biographical information on them.

  • Cleveland Art School Exhibit Notes Copy
    The Cleveland School Watercolor and Clay December 1, 2012 - March 10, 2013 The Cleveland School: Watercolor and Clay Exhibition Essay by William Robinson Northeast Ohio has produced a remarkable tradition of achievement in watercolor painting and ceramics. The artists who created this tradition are often identified as members of the Cleveland School, but that is only a convenient way of referring to a diverse array of painters and craftsmen who were active in a region that stretches out for hundreds of miles until it begins to collide with the cultural orbit of Toledo, Columbus, and Youngstown. The origins of this “school” are sometimes traced to the formation of the Cleveland Art Club in 1876, but artistic activity in the region predates that notable event. Notable artists were resident in Cleveland by at least the 1840s, supplying the growing shipping and industrial center with portraits, city views, and paintings to decorate domestic interiors. As the largest city in the region, Cleveland functioned like a magnet, drawing artists from surrounding communities to its art schools, museums, galleries, and thriving commercial art industries. Guy Cowan moved to Cleveland from East Liverpool, a noted center of pottery production, located on Ohio River, just across the Pennsylvania border. Charles Burchfield came from Salem and Viktor Schreckengost from Sebring, both for the purpose of studying at the Cleveland School of Art. To be sure, the flow of talent and ideas moved in multiple directions. Leading painters in Cleveland, such as Henry Keller and Auguste Biehle, established artists’ colonies in rural areas to west and south. William Sommer, although employed as a commercial lithographer in Cleveland, established a studio-home in the Brandywine Valley that drew other modernists to the country.

  • William Zorach American, B
    William Zorach American, b. Lithuania, 1887- 1966 401 Interior and Exterior Audio oil on canvas, 1919 Collection of John and Susan Horseman Born in Lithuania, William Zorach immigrated to the United States with his family at the age of three, finally settling in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1896. Zorach studied with legendary Cleveland artist and teacher Henry Keller before meeting and becoming friends with artist William Sommer through his apprenticeship at the Otis Lithograph Company, where Sommer worked as a commercial illustrator. Sommer served as a mentor to the much younger Zorach, encouraging him to travel abroad to widen his artistic horizon. Zorach heeded his advice, traveling to Paris in 1910. Yasuo Kuniyoshi American, b. Japan, 1893- 1953 Morning oil on canvas, 1920 Collection of John and Susan Horseman Lured by romantic ideas of America as a land of opportunity and prosperity, Yasuo Kuniyoshi left Japan and immigrated to the United States in 1906, at the age of thirteen. Soon after he arrived in California, Kuniyoshi enrolled at the Los Angeles School of Art and Design, and then, in 1910, he moved to New York, a city poised to become the center of an increasingly international art world. Kuniyoshi was invited to take part in the 1917 Society of Independent Artists exhibition, an artist- organized rebuttal to the annual juried exhibition of the conservative National Academy of Design. By 1920, the year he completed this painting, Kuniyoshi was living in a small hut-like dwelling in Ogunquit, Maine. There, Kuniyoshi created works, like this, that fused traditional and modern ideas. Working in a style uniquely his own, Kuniyoshi created this interpretation of the American landscape.

  • Introduction: Relationality 1 American Decadence and the Creation of a Queer Modernist Aesthetic
    Notes Introduction: Relationality 1. All subsequent references to “Episode of Hands” are from CP 173. All first refer- ences to poems give the year(s) of writing and revision, followed by the year(s) of publication, separated by a slash. Dates are as given in Marc Simon’s 1986 edition of The Complete Poems of Hart Crane. 2. In Transatlantic Avant- Gardes: Little Magazines and Localist Modernism, Eric B. White has explored the successes and failures of this striving for synthesis in his discussion of the relationship between the Young Americans and the expatriate avant- garde as it appeared in the pages of little magazines such as Secession and S4N. See, in particular, 140– 54. 3. The best guide to Crane’s appearances in various little magazines is The Oxford Critical and Cultural History of Modernist Magazines. Volume II, North America 1894– 1960, which discusses many of the publications I mention during the book. A number of these magazines have been digitized by the Modernist Journals Project, directed by Robert Scholes and Sean Latham, and they can be consulted online: http://modjourn.org/index.html 4. Although he does not name it as such, Edward J. Brunner provides a genetic reading of the “Voyages” sequence (and a more detailed one of the develop- ment of The Bridge) in Splendid Failure: Hart Crane and the Making of “The Bridge” ( 35– 55). Brunner makes no reference to Crane’s sexuality, and refers instead to an ungendered lover. 5. Giles makes extensive use of dictionaries to develop his argument that the guiding principle behind The Bridge is the pun.

  • Support from Ohio Humanities Will Enable the Springfield Museum Of
    Springfield Museum of Art Authentic Narratives: Ohio Regionalists, 1915-1950 Major Grant Application Narrative 1. What do you plan to do? Support from Ohio Humanities will enable the Springfield Museum of Art to deliver outstanding scholarship that makes humanities themes in the early 20th century works of art in the exhibition, “Authentic Narratives: Ohio Regionalists, 1915-1950,” relevant to the general public by: 1) Presenting three public programs with project scholar Michael Hall that will use art historical analysis to inform a general adult audience of the significance of the Ohio artists and works of art in the exhibition; 2) Partnering with Springfield’s Westcott House and Center for Architecture and Design to host a Pechu Kucha program at the Museum. Pechu Kucha is a presentation of fast-paced, individually curated slide-shows using 20 images in 6 minutes. Presentations typically have a common theme, ours would focus on architecture, and the planned and unplanned design of the Midwest landscape; 3) Creating compelling exhibit interpretation (labels, interpretive text, gallery guide, etc.) that compare and contrast shared themes from the early 20th to the early 21st centuries (i.e. land use, pollution, community) for both a general adult audience and K-12 and college students; 4) Working collaboratively with our local Convention and Visitors Bureau to promote this exhibition and related programs through the CVB's regional Tourism Coalition, state-wide tourism network and their coordination of the LED billboard on Interstate 70 that reaches over 60,000 views per day. 5) Engaging project evaluators Drs. Tom Taylor and Molly Wood to assess the quality of the public programming and interpretive materials.
