As a boy in Georgia, Rembert did backbreaking labor in the cotton fields. As a young man, he participated in the civil rights movement. At one march he was arrested, later surviving a seven-year prison sentence and a near lynching. “Mr. Rembert’s work is important because it offers an unvarnished view of the segregated South, from the vantage of a lived history,” according to a recent New York Times article, “What makes it resonate, however, is Mr. Rembert’s incredible spirit— what one writer in the [exhibition] catalog calls his ‘grace.’”

Jean Crawford Adams American, 1884–1972 Lake Geneva oil on board, 1929 16 x 20 inches Gift of Pat Glascock and Michael D. Hall in memory of Harry Butler, Inlander Collection, 2003.19

The paintings in the Inlander Collection form a remarkable tribute to artists working in the region between 1910 and 1960. The collection is defined geographically, featuring artists who worked in those states surrounding the Great Lakes basin: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. The half-century of time represented by these paintings, by artists such as Charles Burchfield, Edmund Brucker, and Clarence Holbrook Carter, is arguably a period of the greatest changes to the land, its people, their work, and their play—changes brought about by wars, by recession and prosperity, by industry, and by innovation. Intense observation of an evolving region combined with the personal commitment to portray the American heartland led to the creation by these artists of images with a distinct regional character. The majority of works in the collection are at the FIA on permanent loan from the Isabel Foundation, and the remaining portion were donated by Michael Hall and Patricia Glascock, the collectors who assembled the outstanding group of regional paintings. fleckenstein video gallery

The Flint Institute of Arts has more than 8,000 works of art in its permanent collection, with over 3,000 of them being works on paper. More than two-thirds of these works are by American artists. A recent addition to this impressive collection of American works on paper is the 1924 lithograph, titled The Drunk, by George Bellows (1882–1925). Bellows was one of a group of artists called the Ashcan School, or The Eight. These New York artists were so named because of their interest in depicting New York City and its inhabitants without idealizing the gritty subject matter. Considered one of the greatest American painters of the 20th century, Bellows George Wesley Bellows was also an accomplished lithographer. American, 1882–1925 The Drunk illustrates the importance of dynamic The Drunk (Second Stone) lithograph on basingwerk symmetry in Bellows’ work.

The Drunk depicts two women trying to restrain an abusive, intoxicated man, while two children cower in fear in the background. It was initially published as an illustration for Good Housekeeping for an article promoting the benefits of Prohibition, the 18th Amendment to the Constitution that made the manufacture, transportation and sale of alcohol illegal in the United States. The article was titled “Why We Prohibit,” by Mabel Potter Daggett, published in the magazine in 1924, in the midst of the Prohibition Era, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. 11 COLLECTIONS art on loan The following artworks are on loan from the FIA to the following exhibitions:
