WSU 2Ü3l Century Art •# WORKING AMERICA: INDUSTRIAL IMAGERY IN AMERICAN PRINTS, 1900-1940 22 March - 22 May 1983 First Floor American Wing Metropolitan Museum of Art Modern Art Library THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART The Library PRESENTED BY William S. Lieberman Smoking steel mills and factory assembly lines, skyscrapers and bridges under construction, pneumatic drill operators and arc welders are images that do not conform to the traditional subject matter of American art. Yet, by 1900, increasing urbanization and rapid industrial growth had become a vital part of American life and, correspondingly, of its art. Writers, dramatists, painters, photographers, and printmakers responded to these new stimuli. For printmakers, such as Joseph Pennell and B. J. 0. Nordfeldt, the billowing smoke from factories possessed a man-made beauty rivaling the best of nature. For others, the new buildings that pierced city skies inspired works recording a new group of cathedral builders scurrying about on catwalks far above city streets. By the outbreak of World War II industrial imagery was as viable a part of the American scene as pastoral pursuits. Artists, active in the various programs of the Works Progress Admin istration (WPA), were encouraged by the government to portray contemporary American life. The programs promoted arts for the people, whether murals in a post office or prints decorating a hospital ward. Bridge building, pipe-laying, and road construction, blast furnaces and mines were among the subjects explored by the printmakers associated with these programs. Some printmakers chose to examine the social issues of American industry, while others looked to the industrial landscape as the genesis for abstraction. - 
												
												Summer Art Acquisitions
COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING VIRGINIA MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS 200 N. Boulevard I Richmond, Virginia 23220-4007 www.vmfa.museum/pressroom I T 804.204.2704 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2013 Summer Art Acquisitions The following artworks were approved by the VMFA Board of Trustees in June 2013. VMFA is a state agency and a public/private partnership. All works of art are purchased with private funds from dedicated endowments. After VMFA’s board approves proposed acquisitions on a quarterly basis, the art becomes the property of the Commonwealth of Virginia to protect, preserve, and interpret. 1. Head of a Herm, Augustan (late 1st c. BCE—early 1st century CE), marble, 19¾‖ (w/o base); 26¾‖ (w/base). Arthur and Margaret Glasgow Endowment. This beautifully carved image of a bearded god is VMFA’s first major acquisition of ancient art in recent years and a significant addition to the museum’s holdings of Greek and Roman sculpture. As a late Hellenistic or Roman creation based on an original from the mid-fifth century BCE, this sculpture reflects the esteem later generations of artists held for the art of classical Athens. The head came from a herm, a type of sculpture that consists of a head surmounting a tall pillar with projecting posts evoking arms and an erect phallus. Early herms had a sacred character and served as distance and boundary markers with the power to ward away evil. Later herms had different type of heads, including female heads and even portraits. The form of the herm has remained part of the visual vocabulary of Western art with a wide variety of adaptations. -

												Minna Citron: a Socio-Historical Study Of
The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Art History MINNA CITRON: A SOCIO-HISTORICAL STUDY OF AN ARTIST’S FEMINIST SOCIAL REALISM IN THE 1930S A Thesis in Art History by Jennifer L. Streb © 2004 Jennifer L. Streb Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2004 The thesis of Jennifer L Streb was reviewed and approved* by the following: Sarah K. Rich Assistant Professor of Art History Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History Joyce Henri Robinson Curator, Palmer Museum of Art Affiliate Associate Professor, Department of Art History Nan E. Woodruff Professor of History * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT Minna Citron (1896-1991) was a lifelong self-proclaimed feminist, a divorced mother and an artist who believed in individual expression. One of her main artistic interests, particularly early in her career, was the way feminist concerns related to her dual roles as wife/mother and professional artist. She struggled to make a name for herself in the male-dominated art world between the 1930s and 1950s, beginning during a decade in which social roles for women increasingly tended towards domesticity. By the late 1960s, however, Citron’s interest in feminism was renewed by a new generation of women. The course upon which she set herself, in many ways, was uncharted and her concern with women’s issues and the challenges faced by women perhaps resonate more clearly with us today than while she was alive. -
