Payson (Dorothy Norton) Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, South Hadley, Massachusetts Photograph by Petegorsky/Gipe by Jamie Franklin rastus Salisbury Field (1805–1900) and Alice Neel (1900–1984) were masters of the portrait within their respective periods and cultural settings. Though separated by a hundred years and working in distinct styles and contexts, the portraits painted by Field, one of America’s best known nineteenth-century itinerant artists, and Neel, one of the most acclaimed portrait painters of the twentieth century, have a remarkable resonance with one another. Alice Neel/Erastus Salisbury Field: Painting the People, an exhibition at the Bennington Museum in Vermont, examines the visual, historic and conceptual relationships between the paintings of these two seemingly disparate artists. Critics, curators, biographers, friends of the artist, and the artist herself, have referenced the relationship between “folk” or “primitive” painting and Neel’s portraits. However, this is the first exhibition to examine this facet of Neel’s work directly. By looking closely at Field’s and Neel’s political, social, and artistic milieus and the subjects depicted in their portraits, the exhibition seeks to reexamine the relationship between modernism and its romantic notions of the “folk,” while providing us with a more nuanced understanding of these important artists and their work.

  • Edith Halpert & Her Artists
    Telling Stories: Edith Halpert & Her Artists October 9 – December 18, 2020 Charles Sheeler (1883-1965), Home Sweet Home, 1931, conte crayon and watercolor on paper, 11 x 9 in. For Edith Halpert, no passion was merely a hobby. Inspired by the collections of artists like Elie Nadelman, Robert Laurent, and Hamilton Easter Field, Halpert’s interest in American folk art quickly became a part of the Downtown Gallery’s ethos. From the start, she furnished the gallery with folk art to highlight the “Americanness” of her artists. Halpert stated, “the fascinating thing is that folk art pulls in cultures from all over the world which we have utilized and made our own…the fascinating thing about America is that it’s the greatest conglomeration” (AAA interview, p. 172). Halpert shared her love of folk art with Charles Sheeler and curator Holger Cahill, who was the original owner of this watercolor, Home Sweet Home, 1931. The Sheelers filled their home with early American rugs and Shaker furniture, some of which are depicted in Home Sweet Home, and helped Halpert find a saltbox summer home nearby, which she also filled with folk art. As Halpert recalled years later, Sheeler joined her on trips to Bennington cemetery to look at tombstones she considered to be the “first folk art”: I used to die. I’d go to the Bennington Cemetery. Everybody thought I was a queer duck. People used to look at me. That didn’t bother me. I went to that goddamn cemetery, and I went to Bennington at least four times every summer…I’d go into that cemetery and go over those tombstones, and it’s great sculpture.

  • Rush Hour, New York
    National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 Max Weber American, born Poland, 1881 - 1961 Rush Hour, New York 1915 oil on canvas overall: 92 x 76.9 cm (36 1/4 x 30 1/4 in.) framed: 111.7 x 95.9 cm (44 x 37 3/4 in.) Inscription: lower right: MAX WEBER 1915 Gift of the Avalon Foundation 1970.6.1 ENTRY Aptly described by Alfred Barr, the scholar and first director of the Museum of Modern Art, as a "kinetograph of the flickering shutters of speed through subways and under skyscrapers," [1] Rush Hour, New York is arguably the most important of Max Weber’s early modernist works. The painting combines the shallow, fragmented spaces of cubism with the rhythmic, rapid-fire forms of futurism to capture New York City's frenetic pace and dynamism. [2] New York’s new mass transit systems, the elevated railways (or “els”) and subways, were among the most visible products of the new urban age. Such a subject was ideally suited to the new visual languages of modernism that Weber learned about during his earlier encounters with Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881 - 1973) and the circle of artists who gathered around Gertrude Stein in Paris in the first decade of the 20th century. Weber had previously dealt with the theme of urban transportation in New York [fig. 1], in which he employed undulating serpentine forms to indicate the paths of elevated trains through lower Manhattan's skyscrapers and over the Brooklyn Bridge. In 1915, in addition to Rush Hour, he also painted Grand Central Terminal [fig.

It will interpret the history of women and museums and the impact on the institution by surveying existing literature on feminism and museums and the biographies of a few notable female curators. As this paper hopes to encourage global thinking, museums from outside the western sphere will be included and emphasized. Specifically, it will look at organizations in the Middle East and that exist in only a digital format. This will lead to an analysis of today’s feminist principles applied specifically to the museum and its link with online platforms.

    Student Handout 2-Interview of Richard Hood, Federal Art Program RICHARD HOOD, FORMER STATE DIRECTOR OF THE FEDERAL ART PROGRAM IN PENNSYLVANIA, INTERVIEWED BY RICHARD K. DOUD, DECEMBER 15, 1964 PHILADELPHIA COLLEGE OF ART SOURCE: Courtesy of Smithsonian Archives of American Art http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/oralhistories/transcripts/hood64.htm RH: RICHARD HOOD RD: RICHARD K. DOUD RD: Well, could you start with the first question I've outlined here, something on your art background which will lead into how and why you became associated with the government projects here in Philadelphia? RH: Well, of course, this goes back thirty years. At the time like everywhere else at the height of the depression, there was an apple seller on every corner, five or six apple sellers for that matter. Artists, as they have been at many other times in the past, were in need of work, like everyone else. Most people were in need of work, and I applied to the Federal Art Program which had just been set up in the summer of 1935. This was December, and I applied in December for a job on the project as an artist. I had studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and had also worked as a printmaker, and it was in the field of printmaking for which I applied. The requirements for getting a job on the project were not easy at that time, and they never were during the entire duration of the program. A committee looked at your work, and if they found it adequate, and if your background indicated that you were a practicing, professional artist, you were eligible for employment.

The Federal Art Project: Intentions, Goals, and Legacy By Meghan Bentley Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of History June 2018 UNION COLLEGE June, 2018 i ABSTRACT BENTLEY, MEGHAN The Federal Art Project: Intentions, Goals, and Legacy ADVISOR: Professor Andrew Morris Created under the umbrella program called the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the Great Depression, the Federal Art Project (FAP) was a unique program that attempted to put struggling artists back to work and aimed to preserve artistic skill in American society. This thesis examines the efficacy and legacy of the Federal Art Project by examining the legitimacy of the criticisms levied against the FAP, the effect the FAP was able to have on the American public and arts community, and closes by examining the findings of these claims within the context of a collection of local FAP paintings. While producing an artistic legacy that has become widely appreciated, the program has also been criticized that by paying artists to produce artwork that reinforced proud American themes, the Federal Government was using the Project to mass-produce pro-American propaganda to advance its own agenda.
