Featuring more than 260 art objects, artifacts, and clips, the exhibition explores how artists fascinated with this brash new medium and its technological possibilities contributed to network programs and design campaigns; appeared on television to promote modern art; and explored, critiqued, or absorbed the new medium in their work. This dialogue between high art and television is revealed through a selection of fine art and graphic designs by artists such Saul Bass, Alexander Calder, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marcel Duchamp, Allan Kaprow, Roy Lichtenstein, Man Ray, Eero Saarinen, Ben Shahn, and Andy Warhol, as well as ephemera, television memorabilia, and clips from important television programs including Batman, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Ernie Kovacs Show, Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, and The Twilight Zone.

But its initial roll- out in the 1940s and early 1950s in largely urban areas and its lack of longstanding conventions made the new medium particularly appealing to pioneers. ...[T]hey were searching for a place to rise above the status quo, or at least to expand its boundaries. Television emerged as a dominant medium of communication in the United States in the period from the late 1940s through the early 1970s. Revolution of the Eye explores the ways modern art— the epitome of cultural experimentation and creativity—served as an influence and a model for shaping the new medium.” - MAURICE BERGER, EXHIBITION CURATOR Curriculum Connections Can Include • Rise of American television after WWII • American politics, popular culture, and artistic movements during the 1940s — 1970s • Science fiction as representation of social issues from nuclear fears to McCarthyism • Pop art, material objects, and consumer goods • Story development through visual storyboards or script writing • Conformity and individualism • Celebrity culture and fame • Societal issues represented through visual culture • The evolution of TV: the role of TV in the home, viewing habits, innovations, etc. • Symbolism in the media • Advertising and design Related Events at the Addison Batman and Robin, 1966.

  • Jew Taboo: Jewish Difference and the Affirmative Action Debate
    The Jew Taboo: Jewish Difference and the Affirmative Action Debate DEBORAH C. MALAMUD* One of the most important questions for a serious debate on affirmative action is why certain minority groups need affirmative action while others have succeeded without it. The question is rarely asked, however, because the comparisonthat most frequently comes to mind-i.e., blacks and Jews-is seen by many as taboo. Daniel A. Farberand Suzanna Sherry have breached that taboo in recent writings. ProfessorMalamud's Article draws on work in the Jewish Studies field to respond to Farberand Sherry. It begins by critiquing their claim that Jewish values account for Jewish success. It then explores and embraces alternative explanations-some of which Farberand Sheny reject as anti-Semitic-as essentialparts of the story ofJewish success in America. 1 Jews arepeople who are not what anti-Semitessay they are. Jean-Paul Sartre ha[s] written that for Jews authenticity means not to deny what in fact they are. Yes, but it also means not to claim more than one has a right to.2 Defenders of affirmative action today are publicly faced with questions once thought improper in polite company. For Jewish liberals, the most disturbing question on the list is that posed by the comparison between the twentieth-century Jewish and African-American experiences in the United States. It goes something like this: The Jews succeeded in America without affirmative action. In fact, the Jews have done better on any reasonable measure of economic and educational achievement than members of the dominant majority, and began to succeed even while they were still being discriminated against by this country's elite institutions.

  • What Gordon Parks Witnessed
    What Gordon Parks Witnessed The injustices of Jim Crow and the evolution of a great American photographer Tenement residents in Chicago in 1950. (Courtesy of and © the Gordon Parks Foundation) Story by David Rowell DECEMBER 3, 2018 Photos by Gordon Parks When 29-year-old Gordon Parks arrived in Washington, in 1942, to begin his prestigious job as a photographer at the Farm Security Administration, his first assignment was to shoot: nothing. The government agency, which was born of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, had originally intended to highlight rural suffering and the plight of farmers, but that mission quickly expanded to producing a vast visual record of American life. Overseen by Roy Stryker, chief of the photography unit within the agency’s historical section, the collection was a stunning, often sobering artistic vehicle for depicting the ways the government was both serving and failing its citizens. Parks had come to the FSA on a fellowship after being a staff photographer for the St. Paul Recorder newspaper and doing commercial freelance work, but he also hadn’t bought his first camera until 1937, and Stryker knew the photographer still had much to learn. First, as Parks recounted in his 1966 memoir “A Choice of Weapons,” Stryker had Parks show him his cameras — a Speed Graphic and a Rolleiflex — and promptly locked them in a cabinet. “You won’t be needing those for a few days,” the boss said. Instead, he asked his new photographer — who was raised in Kansas but also lived in Minnesota and later in Chicago — to eat in some restaurants, shop in stores, take in a movie.

  • The Television Project: Some of My Best Friends
    The Television Project: Some of My Best Friends Highlights from the National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting Examine Anti-Semitism Through Classic TV Beginning March 18, 2016 New York, NY – With the second installment of its new, ongoing exhibition series, the Jewish Museum will continue introducing visitors to a dynamic part of its collection: the National Jewish Archive of Broadcasting (NJAB). The Television Project: Some of My Best Friends will be on view from March 18 through August 14, 2016 exploring the full range of the medium’s approach to anti-Semitism, from the satire and humor of the situation comedy to serious dramas that dissect the origins, motivations, and consequences of prejudice. Clips from such programs as All in the Family, Downton Abbey, Mad Men, Gunsmoke, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show will be featured. Some of My Best Friends features Mary Richards standing up to an anti- Semitic friend in The Mary Tyler Moore Show, “Some of My Best Friends Are Rhoda;” Jews fighting to prevent neo-Nazis from holding a rally in a predominantly Jewish town in Skokie; and Jewish emigrants confronting hatred in the Old West in the Gunsmoke episode, “This Golden Land” (featuring a young Richard Dreyfuss) and Little House on the Prairie, “The Craftsman.” Also included are clips from the first episode of the acclaimed Mad Men, where Roger Sterling suggests to Don Draper that their ad agency hire a Jew prior to meeting with a new Jewish-owned client; an LA Law segment, “Rohner vs. Gradinger,” depicting a confrontation between a Jewish lawyer and his Jew-hating WASP mother-in-law and her close friend; the bigoted Archie Bunker looking for a “Jew lawyer” because Jews are “smarter and shrewder” in Norman Lear’s groundbreaking All in the Family, “Oh, My Aching Back;” and a scene from Downton Abbey showing the family matriarch (Maggie Smith) expressing displeasure at news of a cousin romantically involved with a Jew.

Focusing on the development of modernism in the first half of the twentieth century in Europe and America, we will explore a series of episodes in which artists and critics engaged with questions of gender, race, sexuality, and identity. We will examine cases in which artists and critics subverted or critiqued cultural norms as well as cases in which the work of modernist artists reflected and relied upon dominant assumptions about race, sexuality, and gender. Themes studied will include: primitivism, gender performance, the politics of museum display, feminism in history and scholarship, cultural hybridity, the role of subcultures, and the politics of representation. Artists and movements discussed will include Picasso, Duchamp, Vorticism, Harlem Renaissance, Cadmus, Kahlo, Hepworth, and Surrealism. s t r u c t u r e o f t h e c o u r s e Each two-hour session will be focused primarily on discussion of images, texts, and course themes.

The Enemy Within: The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Enemy Pictures 1 The Enemy Within: The Long Civil Rights Movement and the Enemy Pictures Olivier Maheo Introduction: A Liberal Agenda 1 The 20th century could be described as the one that gave birth to a new “civilization of the image.” (Gusdorf 1960: 11). By using images in its nation-building efforts, the United States has been a forerunner through what François Brunet called “Amérique- image”, a huge picture-book in which photographs of the Civil Rights Movement have a dedicated slot at a time when television was becoming a mass media (Brunet & Kempf 2001). The best-known pictures of the Civil Rights Movement have thus become places of memory, iconic images testifying to the ultimate triumph of democracy. 2 If, according to W.E.B.

  • 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    EXPLORING THE HUMAN ENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 2ANNUAL01 REP3ORT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER December 2014 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2013 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For forty-eight years NEH has striven through its rigorous grantmaking process to support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections, long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” It is in response to this mission that NEH supports work in the humanities that enlightens and deepens our understanding of the world. In September 2013, NEH launched its Created Equal initiative centered on a collection of four NEH-funded films—The Abolitionists, Slavery by Another Name, The Loving Story, and Freedom Riders— that trace the long history of civil rights in our nation. From the beginning, African Americans have been at the core of America’s evolving story about the changing meaning of freedom. Through free access to the films, website resources, and public discussion programs held in more than four hundred communities across the nation over the next three years, Created Equal will help make this aspect of our history accessible to everyone. At NEH, we also believe that access to the classics should be for everyone, in particular to America’s military veterans who are returning home from conflicts abroad. A 2013 grant to Aquila Theatre is helping to bring a series of scholar-led discussions and performances of classical Greek and Roman dramas to military veterans across the country.

Withers, Sanitation Workers Assemble in Front of Clayborn Temple for a Solidarity March, Memphis, TN, March 28, 1968 © Ernest C. Withers, Courtesy Panopticon Gallery, Boston, MA, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture A new exhibition at the International Center of Photography will offer an innovative view of the Civil Rights Movement and the catalytic social role played by changing portrayals of African Americans in the 1950s and ‘60s. Through a rich juxtaposition of visual images—including photographs, television and film clips, magazines, newspapers, books, pamphlets and posters—the exhibition shows how strategic interventions in these mediums of visual culture helped to transform prevailing attitudes toward race in America. The exhibition, organized by guest curator Maurice Berger, is titled For All the World to See: Visual Culture and the Struggle for Civil Rights, and will be on view from May 21 to September 12, 2010. The exhibition demonstrates the extent to which the rise of the modern civil rights movement paralleled the birth of television and the popularity of picture magazines and other forms of visual mass media, and traces the gradual introduction of African American faces into those contexts. These images were ever-present and diverse: the startling footage of southern white aggression and black suffering that appeared night after night on television news programs; the photographs of achievers and martyrs in black periodicals, which roused pride or activism in the African American community; the humble snapshot, no less powerful in its ability to edify and motivate.
