Title A name given to the resource Deserted Wharf Description An account of the resource Cool blues and greens dominate much of Sharp’s landscape, creating a sharp contrast against the red of the barn and sails. A body of water surrounding the wharf clearly is too small for any boats and seems to be drying up. The rolling hills and mountains in the background make the area feel vast and somewhat empty. There are no people within the painting, although there are a few structures that could be houses—one of which has a gravestone—and what appears to be a church spire. Strangest of all is a fenced-in pasture with dinosaurs. About the Artist: Born in Galesburg, IL, Sharp grew up in Eldon, IA and showed a talent for art at an early age, matriculating at the University of Iowa in 1928. While a student he met curator Edward Rowan and painter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_Wood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grant Wood</a>, both of whom would become important figures in the regional art movement, co-founding the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_City_Art_Colony" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stone City Art Colony</a>. At age nineteen, taking Wood on a driving tour of Eldon, Sharp showed him the house that would figure in the iconic painting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Gothic" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Gothic</a>. Sharp studied at the Stone City colony for a short period before relocating to New York, where he attended the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. It was during this period in the early 1930s that Sharp met his lifelong partner, the painter <a href="http://www.askart.com/artist/Paul_Crosthwaite/121992/Paul_Crosthwaite.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Crosthwaite</a>. The two relocated to an established art scene in Buck’s County, PA. Besides his work in the WPA easel division, Sharp was chosen to create three murals for post offices in Iowa:  <a href="https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/post-office-mural-bloomfield-ia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Autumn”</a> (1940), in Bloomfield; <a href="https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/post-office-mural-rockwell-city-ia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Summer”</a> (1941), in Rockwell City; <a href="https://livingnewdeal.org/projects/hawarden-post-office-mural-hawarden-ia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Winter”</a> (1942), in Haywarden. While all show the regionalist influence of Wood, Sharp also had a distinctive sense of humor. His painting <a href="https://bucksco.michenerartmuseum.org/bucksartists/image/645/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“We All Hang Together”</a> mashes up domestic folk art and a Benjamin Franklin epigram; his landscape painting at the NDG features what appears to be a herd of cows but actually is dinosaurs. Still, his taste for surreality did not stand in the way of commercial success. Sharp was called “a skillful factualist who loves the textures of barns, flowers, leaves, shells, and old roots” (Benson). He was commissioned to render portraits of New York theater actors; his paintings were chosen for a traveling Hallmark Art Award exhibition (1951) and appeared on the cover of Colliers magazine (“P.O. Mural”). Sharp and Crosthwaite moved to Florida full-time by the mid-1950s, continuing their work while instructing younger artists. 3 works at <a href="https://www.pafa.org/museum/collection-artist/john-sharp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts</a>. 3 <a href="https://livingnewdeal.org/artists/john-sharp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post office murals</a> for the Treasury Section of Fine Arts. 1 work at <a href="https://chrysler.emuseum.com/objects/37648/untitled?ctx=ab112bf1-8a18-4eee-ad47-7ee4aee14dd0&idx=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chrysler Museum of Art</a>. 1 work at <a href="https://americanart.si.edu/artist/john-o-robert-sharp-4393" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smithsonian American Art Museum</a>. 2 works at the <a href="https://bucksco.michenerartmuseum.org/bucksartists/artist/243/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michener Art Museum</a>. 5 images at <a href="https://projects.mtmercy.edu/stonecity/otherartists/sharp.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stone City Art Colony</a>. 6 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-21-folder-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Despatch, NY, Rochester's Great Industrial Suburb Description An account of the resource According to the East Rochester <a href="http://www.erhistory.com/history.php">Local History Office</a>, the planned town of Despatch originally was named as such due to its proximity to railroad lines and a transportation company. Its land rights were purchased by entrepreneur Walter Parce between 1893-96 via his Vanderbilt Improvement Company. The promotional map here probably dates to this period or shortly thereafter, with Parce a likely organizer. Selected factories like the Signal Manufacturing Co. and the Buchanan Brass Hardware and Rolling Mill are featured; at the same time the village's "Pure Water. Pure Air. Sanitary Sewers. Healthful Homes" are extolled. Even more than most bird's eye views, this one is aspirational in that many of its blocks consist of numbered lots, with the promise of "Fine Business and Residence Lots on Easy Payments." In the distance at upper left is the City of Rochester. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource O.H. Bailey & Co.

We see what appears to be a boarded-up chicken coop and other farm outbuildings inside a walled enclosure--although the abandonment seems recent given visible footpaths and a lack of overgrowth. Relatively high-key colors sidestep the dark tragedy of family farmers no longer present. In trial law, "desuetude" refers to statutes so long unenforced that they have become obsolete; perhaps in this case the intent is to link a particular farm to longer-term, systemic neglect that has resulted in many other farm abandonments. About the Painter: Born in Chernobyl, Russia, Fastovsky studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Kiev before immigrating to the US in 1913 and becoming a citizen in 1921. He showed his work at Municipal Art Galleries, New York, in 1938. Fastovsky legally changed his name to Isaac Foster in 1946 and by 1955 was living in Tuscon, AZ, showing his paintings at local sites and restoring old canvases. Looking back upon his work for various federal art projects, he estimated that he had created 40-50 paintings during this period: “Someday I’m going to visit various state and federal buildings throughout the country and see if I can locate the pictures. I don’t have any idea where they’re hanging now” (Arizona Daily Star 16 Oct. 1955: 24). 9 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-4">FAP</a>.

Description An account of the resource This collection gathers documents for a Perry Knitting Co. exhibit on OpenValley. They are drawn from from three main sources. First, the Clark Rice Photography Collection at the Perry, NY Public Library. Rice was a prolific photographer in Western New York throughout the mid-20th century. This collection includes scans of his work, and copies of images from the turn of the century photographer Merrium Crocker, whose studio Rice purchased. Secondly, the Henry Page Local History Files. Page was president of First National Bank of Perry, and a local historian associated with the public library for nearly five decades. His uncle, William, had helped secure funding from the Carnegie Corporation for its establishment in 1900 and construction in 1914. The Page collection contains various historical materials and photographs accumulated by him over the years. Thirdly, we draw upon various public domain texts, such as maps from the Library of Congress or <a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digitized articles from local newspapers</a>. All images here are selections from these collections, chosen for their relevance to OpenValley project.
