                  <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>In this bower of parkland amidst the Bronx, we look up a gentle hill toward its crest beneath a muted sky. Thin layers of impressionist blending create a modulated glow in trees and grassland alike. Perhaps the painting's most striking effect is its shaggy modeling of three trees lined up the foreground, distinct from the landscape by way of artfully placed boulders. In their distinct shapes and clear separation from the meadow, the effect is one of a gathering of trees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at &lt;a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon"&gt;Bennington Museum&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                <text>It's fall, and a farmer is seen returning a wagonload of hay, presumably cut and dried in his fields. Fidaroff composes his scene so as to obscure what may be a gas-powered tractor (since we don't see a team of horses ahead of the farmer). A warm shagginess is repeated throughout the painting--tree leaves, grass, the load of hay--using impressionist brushstrokes. In the distance, the cool gray skyline of a mountain points toward winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at &lt;a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon"&gt;Bennington Museum&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                  <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>Deceptively simple in scenic terms, Fidaroff's painting relies upon a carefully restricted range of colors, shapes, and distinctive landscape features. A river, partially visible at lower left, makes us aware of a serpentine line continuing to upper right; its contrasting color highlights another line composed of individual trees. The visual (and ecological) tension in painting is between ranges of forested mountains and those gold-green fields cleared by farmers. No humans are visible in Fidaroff's painting, but their presence is encoded into its design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist.

                  <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>Spare composition of an open space, perhaps parkland, is most distinctive in its use of linear elements. The horizontals of skyline and a row of plantings across the middle of painting are intersected by verticals of trees and, in the distance, lines of color ascending the hills. At bottom center, where a viewer presumably is invited to enter the landscape, a serpentine footpath gives way to branching possibilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at &lt;a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon"&gt;Bennington Museum&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                <text>Presumably at the edge of a small mountain lake, we look across its surface to the middle and far distance. Although using atmospheric perspective to some extent, the hills and sky also register as a single plane differentiated by line and color. The uncanny effects of space are most clearly observed in the lake's reflections, especially the two similar trees at center: just their tips are tall enough to be seen over a hill's curvature, causing their reflection in the lake to appear as two isolated blocks of color.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Born in Vladikavkaz, Russia, Fidaroff emigrated to Vancouver in 1913 and then the US in 1915—where he became a citizen in 1939. He was an art student in Los Angeles, CA as of 1917. His painting “In the Country” was exhibited at a 1937 Federal Art Project show. 2 works at &lt;a href="http://bennington.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=Fidaroff%2C+Simon"&gt;Bennington Museum&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at &lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-7-folder-13"&gt;FAP&lt;/a&gt;.</text>

                  <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>In what appears to be a staged painting, we see a red cloth behind various objects, and a white cloth upon which they rest. Towards the left side there are books stacked up against each other and next to them, in the center, a small blue bowl of water with symmetrical designs. Although the blue bowl is in the center, the real eye-catcher here is the yellow tulips in the pewter pitcher. Many stand strong while others are carelessly reflected on the pewter's shiny surface. Although the small blue bowl also is reflected in the pewter's surface, there is a clear distortion between the distance of the bowl and the size of the bowl in its reflection. The pewter serves as a distorted mirror of the actual painting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt; We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Possibly born in Utica, NY, Carpenter studied at the Art Students League. Her paintings “The Green Vase” and “Nude” were exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists, 1930.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</text>

                <text>In this still life, there are various objects placed on a brown table. Towards the left end of the table, we see a small container of ink standing next to a dip pen and a journal on the opposite end of the table. Towards the center, there is a cream-colored piece of cloth underlying an empty teacup and circular vase containing white calla lilies. Although pale as the wall beside it, the calla lilies are contrasted by the dark red curtains behind them. The cream walls are adorned by a framed portrait of a young lady smiling and a separate painting that has two nude figures. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp;We haven’t located much reliable information about this artist. Possibly born in Utica, NY, Carpenter studied at the Art Students League. Her paintings “The Green Vase” and “Nude” were exhibited at the Society of Independent Artists, 1930.</text>

                  <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>The painting captures the open fields of Wallkill on a spring day. Abernathy’s thick brush strokes depict a tree on the left side of the midground with mountains in the background. Beyond the tree is a tan field, its color suggesting a recent harvest, separated from green fields by wooden fencing. The shadow the tree casts suggests there is sun, but with the multitude of clouds, the day could be partly sunny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About The Artist:&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Born in Summerville, AR, Abernathy studied at the Art Academy in Cincinnati and later in Europe. She supported herself by teaching art and elocution at Belmont College (TN), Stanford Female College (KY), Columbia Female Institute (TN), the University of Arkansas, and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://fsuspecialcollections.wordpress.com/tag/inez-abernethy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;the Florida Female College&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;. At this last institution, when a fire broke out Abernathy guided her students to safety rather than saving her own art and equipment; the Florida legislature passed a special bill to help compensate her loss (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Weekly True Democrat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt; 29 Sept 1905: 1). She studied art for a period in Paris, and her painting “Reverie” was shown at the 1902 Salon des artistes français, described by one reporter as “the full-length figure of a girl seated, with a background of dull blues and yellows. A springtime freshness pervades the picture” (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;San Francisco Chronicle &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;26 Oct. 1902: 6). Her works were exhibited at the Academy of Fine Art, Philadelphia, and the National Academy of Design.

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;.

                <text>A table supports a toppled paper bag of fruit, strewn directly on the table or on a white cloth. In the background is an empty vase. The wooden furniture is so shiny that fruit reflects off of its surfaces The light source is unclear, but a curtain in the background suggests there is probably a window which could be partially unshaded, thus providing the scene with light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About The Artist:&lt;/span&gt; Born in Frostburg, MD, Abramson (whose first name sometimes is spelled Hirshel) studied at the Maryland Institute of Fine Arts and later in Paris with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Lhote" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;André L’hote&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;. He painted in a Cumberland, MD studio before moving to New York City in 1931 where he showed at the Ainslee Galleries. A critic for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;New York &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Times admired his work for incorporating “the best qualities of the L’hote Academy—architectonic composition and integrated color—into really fine canvases. His still-lifes, too, with the shimmering tones of cloth and fruit woven with contrapuntal into rich color fugues, justify the discipline of cubism” (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;New York Times &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;19 June 1932: 25). 7 more images at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-1-folder-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;FAP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;This landscape illuminates the life of farmers working in Long Island, New York. The painting represents a time period when suburbia begins to emerge, as viewers can see the juxtaposition between the cityscape in the background and the simplicity of the farming. Cheney uses an impressionist style to show the farmers working in the foreground, their cultivated land in the middle and the cityscape in the back. The painter demonstrates his formal training by his use of atmospheric perspective, our view becoming blurrier the farther we look into the distance. Looking more closely, we see brush strokes used to paint in a muddled yet meticulous way. Cheney's style of painting may have been influenced by the impressionist movement in Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;About the Artist&lt;/span&gt;: Born in Brookline, MA, Cheney attended Harvard University, where he trained with the Harvard ROTC.&lt;a href="https://archive.org/stream/NewEnglandaviatVol2Tick#page/320/mode/1up/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; During 1918-19&lt;/a&gt; he enlisted as a pilot specializing in aerial navigation, a background that seems to have influenced his art’s sometimes creative vantage points. Most of Cheney’s work was in lithography, often of western landscapes. He exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, City Art Museum of St. Louis, National Academy of Design, Los Angeles Museum, Paris Salon, and the Society of Independent Artists. In 1940 his lithograph “Winter Afternoon” was chosen to represent Vermont in the traveling exhibit&lt;a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015020224583;view=1up;seq=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; “Contemporary Art of the United States,”&lt;/a&gt; which included contributions by artists Grant Wood, Georgia O’Keefe and N. C. Wyeth. 10 works at the &lt;a href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.3743.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;National Gallery of Art&lt;/a&gt;. 7 works at&lt;a href="https://art.famsf.org/philip-cheney" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco&lt;/a&gt;. 1 work at&lt;a href="https://www.dia.org/art/collection?artist%5B0%5D=69053" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; Detroit Institute of Arts&lt;/a&gt;. 1 work at&lt;a href="https://pafaarchives.omeka.net/items/show/40056" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts&lt;/a&gt;. 2 more images at&lt;a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-4-folder-27" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt; FAP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
