Title A name given to the resource New Deal Gallery Description An account of the resource 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." 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. <a href="https://openvalley.org/exhibits/show/green-new-deal/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Follow this hyperlink to a short introduction to the New Deal Gallery collection</a>.

Title A name given to the resource The Pool in Autumn Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 992 KB Description An account of the resource The familiar phrase “peak color” receives an ecstatic new meaning in Nordell’s transcendentalist vision, where sun illuminates woodland foliage in fiery hues, then doubles them in a reflecting pool. His figurative rendering of the scene edges toward an impressionist composition in leaf-colors; upstate New Yorkers know this moment and this feeling. About the Artist: Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nordell immigrated to the US when he was seven years old and grew up in “a large family with poor parents” in Westerly, RI (Norwich Bulletin 7 April 1910: 6). He nevertheless was able to attend the Rhode Island School of Design, where his talents soon were recognized and led to a productive career, both as a landscape painter and sought-after portraitist. Nordell studied at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_C._Tarbell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edmund C. Tarbell</a>; the Art Students League under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bridgman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Bridgman</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_DuMond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frank DuMond</a>; and the Académie Julian, Paris, under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Laurens" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean-Paul Laurens</a>. In 1910 <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015086590703;view=1up;seq=214" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he was awarded</a> the James William Paige Traveling Scholarship for study in Europe.

Nordell’s art was exhibited widely, at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, San Francisco; the Corcoran Gallery; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; and many others. Nordell appears to have had a special affinity for Western New York, often showing his work at Buffalo’s Albright-Knox Gallery and Rochester’s Memorial Art Gallery; beginning in the late 1920s he spent summers at Chautauqua painting landscapes. Later he lived not far from Lake Erie in Westfield, NY. 2 works at <a href="http://museums.fivecolleges.edu/info.php?s=Nordell&type=all&museum=all&t=objects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mead Art Museum</a>. 2 works at the <a href="http://www.clevelandart.org/art/collection/search?search=Nordell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Museum of Art</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.

Title A name given to the resource Map of the Central Park Showing the Progress of the Work up to January 1st, 1860. Description An account of the resource In 1853 after extensive study, the New York City Common Council approved a site surrounding the Croton Reservoir for a Manhattan park. Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and designer Calvert Vaux were winners of a design competition, and in 1857 work began upon the original 778-acre site (it would grow to 843 acres). This rare map was disseminated only through park's Board of Commissioners annual report, and to key players in the construction process--in this case, board member Andrew Haswell Green. It shows that almost all early work was concentrated upon the park's southern portion, and the extent to which its "natural" appearance was constructed. Significant rock outcroppings that remained from the Lawrentide Ice Sheet are marked by Olmsted--a fundamental driver of his design. Central Park was officially completed in 1876.

Title A name given to the resource Mandala With Links Description An account of the resource Repeating design is roughly based upon a hexagon, with wedge-shaped objects at the vertices and a distinctive geometric pattern along each edge. At one vertex is a radiant heart with "I Love Pati" inscribed inside, and attached to the other elements by a pair of chains. That representational element echoes the link-shaped design around a perimeter. One interpretation might be that a migrant farmworker's heart still is attached to a person back home.

Title A name given to the resource Mills of Genesee Valley Description An account of the resource Before the commercial extraction of fossil fuels from the Oil Creek region of northern Pennsylvania, most mechanical work in the Genesee Valley was done by human and animal power, or some source ultimately derived from the sun: burning wood, wind power, or flowing water. The exception to this, of course, was coal--by the 1880s America's dominant source of energy. Due to the Genesee region's ample supply of wood and running water, along with the cost of shipping coal, it's quite common to find instances of various water mills in the area's history. They were adapted to a wide range of uses: cutting wood into timber and milling it into specialized shapes (lumber mill); grinding corn into animal feed or for distilling alcohol (grist mill); grinding wheat or other grains (flour mill); creating boxes and other products from wood pulp (paper mill); fabricating metals (triphammer mill); powering industrial equipment (textile mill); and by the 1880s creating electricity via turbines. This collection gathers various documents concerning mills in the Genesee Valley. In addition to images and written texts, there is also an interactive map illustrating the density of their usage during the mid-nineteenth century.
