    Oral history interview with Bernarda Bryson Shahn, 1995 July 3 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Bernarda Bryson Shahn on July 3, 1995. The interview was conducted by Pam Meechum for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview BERNARDA BRYSON SHAHN: You'll have to repeat that, I think. PAM MEECHUM: Right. I wondered if you could first of all recount your travels across America in the thirties, when you traveled with your husband, Ben Shahn. And recount your impressions of America outside New York, because of course we all know pretty much New York, that's all documented, but less so, life outside. BERNARDA BRYSON SHAHN: It is indeed. The reason why I traveled with Ben was that he could not drive and he asked me to go, that I would drive for him. And of course I said, "Yes, I would." Actually I think I'll start a little earlier. I had left the Artists Union in a big degree of indignation and despair, gone to Woodstock, where I was working with ______ Brown who was in those days the leading lithographer in this country and I'd been watching him at work and that sort of thing and I got a call from Washington, and it was Ben, who said that, he asked me whether I would like to set up a lithographic shop in the Special Skills Section of the Agriculture Department and the Resettlement Administration, and of course I did want to.

  • The Jersey Homesteads Mural: Ben Shahn, Bernarda Bryson, and History Painting in the 1930S”Published in Redefining History Painting, Cambridge University Press, 1995
    RESEARCH ESSAY “The Jersey Homesteads Mural: Ben Shahn, Bernarda Bryson, and History Painting in the 1930s”published in Redefining History Painting, Cambridge University Press, 1995. ©Susan Noyes Platt Jersey Homestead Mural, (detail), photograph by Susan Platt In a mural for the community of Jersey Homesteads, (now Roosevelt), New Jersey, Ben Shahn, with the assistance of Bernarda Bryson,1 redefined contemporary history painting by combining the difficult medium of true fresco with unusual historical themes, and a spatial order that dramatizes the psychological aspect of the scenes. Painted during 1937-1938 in a medium which demands rapid work in large simple forms, the mural nonetheless includes three detailed and interrelated historical episodes with many subordinate scenes and references. The primary themes are Jewish immigration, Union organizing, and the planning of a cooperative community in the early New Deal Resettlement Administration. Spatially, the mural combines the traditional linear perspective of the Renaissance, the shallow space of some photographic portraits, the three dimensionality of theatrical sets, and the arrested action of film frames. These various devices serve to underline the contrasts between the dynamic and the static experiences depicted. 2 In narrating history, the mural departs from the tradition of the unified tableau, based in the theory of Diderot, which focuses on a single moment in which the action hangs in the balance, the peripateia. In the traditional tableau there is frequently a single identifiable heroic figure who with gesture and pose, implies the leadership of the moment in history depicted. This concept of history descends into still photography as the "decisive moment." Instead of the peripateia, the mural created in Jersey Homesteads, New Jersey presents groups of figures acting as part of an on-going process.

  • The FSA Photographs: Information, Or Propaganda?
    From the Writer My essay was inspired by discussions in my WR 150 section about an article by Michael Carlebach in which he argued, as I later would, that the FSA photographs were both propaganda and legitimate political communication. As we discussed Carlebach's thesis, two things struck me: first, that the question depended largely on what propaganda is to begin with, and second, that this was more something to decide (within reasonable bounds) than to discover. I consulted a couple of dictionaries and used the information therein to form a working definition that I thought conformed to the word’s everyday use and provided clear conditions for its satisfaction. Another question emerged from the fact that my definition contained words like “information” and “deceptive,” which are associated with saying things, whereas an image cannot literally say anything. I set out to determine how photographs communicate information, and under what conditions they can be considered propaganda. Then it remained to use historical evidence to show whether the FSA photographs met these conditions; this was the step that required the most actual research. By carefully analyzing the main points of my argument, I was able to ensure that I made a convincing case, and that my essay would have a coher- ent structure (since I simply had to address each issue in turn). Finally, I was enormously helped by the mandatory first draft, which forced me to think about, research, and begin writing my essay early, counteracting my strong tendencies toward laziness and procrastination and helping me produce a complete essay on time.

  • The History of Photography: the Research Library of the Mack Lee
    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

History/Individual Interdisciplinary Program The Forgotten Man: The Rhetorical Construction of Class and Classlessness in Depression Era Media (206 pp.) Co-Directors of Dissertation: Katherine Jellison and Raymie McKerrow The following study is an analysis of visual and narrative cultural discourses during the interwar years of 1920-1941. These years, specifically those of the 1930s, represent a significant transitional point in American history regarding cultural identity and social class formation. This study seeks to present one profile of how the use of media contributed to a mythic cultural identity of the United States as both classless and middle-class simultaneously. The analysis is interdisciplinary by design and purports to highlight interaction between visual and oral rhetorical strategies used to construct and support the complex myths of class as they formed during this period in American history.

  • "Introducing America to Americans": FSA Photography and The
    “INTRODUCING AMERICA TO AMERICANS”: FSA PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF RACIALIZED AND GENDERED CITIZENS Lisa Helene Kaplan A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2015 Committee: Susana Peña, Advisor Danielle Kuhl Graduate Faculty Representative Andrew Hershberger Lynn Whitney © 2015 Lisa Helene Kaplan All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Susana Peña, Advisor Historians and artists have examined the Farm Security Administration-Office of War Information (FSA-OWI) Photographic Collection as a broad and deep account of Depression era US experience, and as a valuable collection of early documentary photography. During the Depression, FSA photographs had everyday life implications for those experiencing rural poverty; the images were made and circulated in order to garner support for rural rehabilitation programs. Simultaneously, the images were circulated as visual representations of “Americans” and the rural US citizen. Problematically, the images were circulated within a modern framework of straight photography in connection to a discourse of objectivity. I consider the photographic project within the historical moment in which it was created with a specific focus on the influence of dominant constructions of race, motherhood, and poverty. The impetus for this research stems from a 1935 photograph by Dorothea Lange of a Mexican-American mother and child which is strikingly similar to her iconic 1936 “Migrant Mother.” In stark contrast to the icon, the image to which I refer as the “1935 Migrant Mother” was rendered invisible within the national imaginary. These two images serve as an entry point through which to consider the entire archive in terms of those images of rural mothers and motherhood that were popularly circulated and those images that were left unseen, unprinted, or unmade.

On October 29, 2013, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation of the Bronx General Post Office Lobby, First Floor Interior and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Public Hearing Item No. 2). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Four people spoke in support of designation, including representatives of Congressman José E. Serrano and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., as well as representatives of the Historic Districts Council and the New York Landmarks Conservancy. There were no speakers in opposition to the designation. The Commission also received thirteen letters and emails in support of designation. Summary The Bronx General Post Office Building and its notable interior lobby were planned and constructed between 1934-37. The architectural design was executed by Thomas Harlan Ellett. The space contains a series of 13 mural panels created by noted artists Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson. In the early 20th century—as the Bronx was becoming one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the country—it became apparent that the borough needed improved postal facilities.
