                  <text>This collection of more than 200 paintings owes its existence to two primary causes: allocations from the Federal Art Project to a New York state tuberculosis sanatorium located at Mt. Morris--the landscapes and still lifes were thought to be restful--and to the committed volunteers who helped preserve the paintings after the hospital closed. For several decades the canvases were stored in non-climate-controlled basements; it appears that doctors and staff removed at least three dozen works as "keepsakes." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the seeming tranquility of the paintings, they were created by artists primarily from New York City whose background was more political and aesthetically adventurous than this rural location would indicate. &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection&lt;/a&gt;. We're grateful to the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts for access to their collection, which has been re-photographed and appears here at two resolutions: a cropped, web-friendly file size of around 1 MB; and a high-resolution file including the painting's frame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Items in this collection were created according to a consistent format: a short description of each painting in formal terms, followed by a biography of each artist. Where possible we have supplied hyperlinks relevant to their lives and to other examples of their art.

                <text>A tree serves as the central focus for this piece, dividing the left and right of the portions of Alshets’ painting. Its setting is Crotona Park, in the Bronx. The narrower left side of the painting shows a road going into the distance and vanishing; the road heading to the right past the tree holds most of the action, with people walking and biking through the park underneath electric lights—still a new innovation during the 1930s. &lt;em&gt;Evening in Crotona Park&lt;/em&gt; is painted in a darker palette, with details fading out the deeper into the painting you go. In the foreground near the tree are two people, a man and a woman, sitting on the grass and talking to one another. The brushstrokes in this painting are light, in the upper portion used to give an impression of dim moonlight filtering in through the cloudy sky. This piece shows a calm evening and evokes a sense of community and peace, one that Alshets himself may have felt about the park since he lived nearby. He offers us a few moments there ourselves, under the electric lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alshets was an artist for the Federal Arts Project based in New York, having immigrated from Sheffield, England as a young child. Although we know a several of his artworks, and even have &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/2105" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;a photograph&lt;/a&gt; of him painting &lt;em&gt;Deserted Farm &lt;/em&gt;(1938), there is little more about the man who created them. Historical records indicate a large family, including a twin sister, and a toymaker father who struggled financially. We also can trace how his paintings, through the FAP, travelled across the United States. In 1941 his painting &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/05b061aa9e6a60ee712e5e1ff65893af.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Tri Boro Bridge&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/em&gt;was exhibited at the the Salt Lake City Art Center and praised by the local newspaper as a lively scene reminiscent of &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Marsh_(artist)" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Reginald Marsh&lt;/a&gt;. That same painting appeared a few months later in Oregon, at the Salem Arts Center, where a reviewer thought that it showed a good understanding of the average American. &lt;em&gt;Deserted Farm&lt;/em&gt; traveled to the Federal Art Gallery in Chicago; a still life traveled to Bradenton, FL. Unfortunatelyartists like Alshets are everywhere: gifted people who created art but never had anyone to record the day to day of their life. 12 images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-1-folder-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-1-folder-20"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;Works Consulted&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;a href="https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/202030969/person/212637303668/facts?_phsrc=xnF179&amp;amp;_phstart=successSource" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;Alshets Family Tree&lt;/a&gt;, Ancestry.com; “Center Group Illustrates Realistic Art”( &lt;em&gt;Salt Lake City Tribune&lt;/em&gt; 24 Feb. 1941: 9); “Art Center Notes” (Salem &lt;em&gt;Statesman Journal&lt;/em&gt; (22 Jun. 1941: 12).</text>

Migrant females were expected to work despite pregnancy, with few accommodations provided to ensure comfortability. Work was needed to be done by those employed, including pregnant women. This photograph appears to be taken at a potato farm, though the exact location is unknown. Migrant farmers typically work for long hours in the fields during the prime farming season to ensure they can provide for their families. This mother is no exception, as she is visibly seen to be working despite pregnancy. </text>

                  <text>This collection of images is based upon &lt;a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/3ae1204165be3bf753a4d31e568da22a.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;an 1892 birds-eye panorama of Caledonia, NY&lt;/a&gt; published by Burleigh Litho of Troy, NY. According to John William Reps, Lucien R. Burleigh was responsible—whether as artist or publisher—for some 228 lithographic city views (it is possible, even likely that the Caledonia map was executed by an employee named Christian Fausel). Trained as a civil engineer, economic recession pressed Burleigh into finding other ways of making a living. He began city viewmaking during the 1870s and by the mid-1880s was well established in his profession. His usual practice was to work from an available map, determine the most advantageous viewpoint (for a village like Caledonia, typically 1500 feet above the ground), and making small sketches at the street level. Another important task during a two- or three-week stay was soliciting subscriptions for the panorama: it took perhaps 100 persons, each paying $2.50-3:00 for a map, for the project to break even. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Burleigh map’s legend provides us with a snapshot of Caledonia in 1892, just recovering from a major fire in 1891. It lists railroad stations, churches, the public school, and even Seth Green’s fish hatchery, but a majority of the numbered locations are commercial enterprises—a likely base of customers for purchasing copies of the completed work. Using old newspapers and trade magazines, this collection has gathered advertising from most of the businesses. Its purpose is to populate an interactive map for the “Heraldry” section of the “Clans of Caledonia” exhibit, where we see immigrant affiliations interacting with national and commercial icons—a complex process of so-called “Americanization.”</text>

                <text>Number 40 on the Burleigh map, the clothing store of F[raser] A. Christie (1858-1917) was one of those destroyed by the 1891 Caledonia fire.

Known as one of the town's most civic-minded individuals, Christie served as town clerk for many years, and as supervisor for a period as well. </text>

                <text>Number 18 on the Burleigh map, for a period this Caledonia firm was nationally known for its patented equipment--especially bean harvesters. Factory was founded by the McColl Brothers in 1868, until purchased in 1880 by Alexander and his son F[red] W. When Alexander died, F.W. Miller continued growing the business thanks to innovative designs.&#13;
&#13;
An admiring profile in 1895 wrote that “Mr. Miller has alone and single handed worked up a large and extensive business in the manufacture of implements of all kinds, and it has grown beyond the control of one man. The firm will probably build new works in course of the coming year providing a suitable location can be secured in a more convenient proximity to the railroad depots” (Caledonia Advertiser 1 Dec 1895). This was to prove fateful, as Miller in seeking growth moved to Leroy, NY and sold patents to the Leroy Plow Company; he lost a legal dispute over their ownership in 1904.&#13;
