Collar Works Gallery | Troy, NY | www.collarworks.org Susan Anthony !Troy Project, 2013 - ongoing, Archival Digital Prints, $200 ea. Troy, New York was one of the most prosperous cities in the United States during the Industrial Revolution, because of its proximity to the Hudson River, the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal. Troy suffered greatly when industry moved West and the economy has never really recovered. There are signs of change because of the community's resilience, but it is a slow, uphill battle. The story of Troy is one of suffering and sadness, but it is also one of hope and growth. My photographs depict the juxtaposition of past and present, old and new, !decay and rebirth in this remarkable historical city. Susan never planned to do this project. She visited Troy with a friend one day and fell in love with the city. She continued photographing on the street every other week until she met a Rabbi who introduced her to a number of Troy’s residents. Susan began photographing as many people who were interested, and each photo !shoot led to another. She’s been photographing in Troy for almost five years. !______________________________________________________________________________ Susan Anthony was born in Brooklyn, NY. Susan received her Bachelor’s Degree at Cooper Union, her Master’s Degree in Fine Arts at Berkeley, and a Master’s in Teaching Fine Art and Art Therapy at NYU and The New School. Many of her photographs are done in upstate New York, where she has a home in Columbia County, and in downtown Manhattan, where she has lived and worked for many years.

Inscription: lower center right: Y.Kuniyoshi 23 Corcoran Collection (Gift of George Biddle) 2014.136.94 ENTRY Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s early paintings, prints, and drawings feature odd, humorous, and even disconcerting subjects: frightened-looking babies with animals and anthropomorphic vegetation, for example.[1] When he tackled more conventional motifs, such as still lifes, landscapes, or nudes, he depicted them in a quasi- surrealistic style, from dizzying perspectives, or in odd arrangements with curious props. Cows in Pasture, ostensibly a straightforward view of a coastal New England dairy farm, is a prime example of Kuniyoshi’s subtle “strangeness,” as a critic characterized the artist’s early work.[2] Kuniyoshi’s favorite early subject was the cow; the artist estimated he painted some 60 cow pictures during the mid-1920s.[3] His preoccupation with the animal and the gravity with which he treated it earned him the label of satirist, a charge he would later counter: I wasn’t trying to be funny but everyone thought I was. I was painting cows and cows at that time because somehow I felt very Cows in Pasture 1 © National Gallery of Art, Washington National Gallery of Art NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART ONLINE EDITIONS American Paintings, 1900–1945 near to the cow.

  • Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection
    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.
