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.

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 Peacock Pheasant Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource jpeg, 1.1 MB Description An account of the resource Currently known as the Malayan Peacock-Pheasant, it is represented here by Nakamizo somewhat outside of its normal forest habitat for the purposes of a carefully arranged display. In flattened space the bird’s striking eye-spots are unique in their color and shape; an array of rocks and autumnal leaves surround them. Its bright orange-red around the eye, as in this painting, appears only when it is courting—a decision perhaps more aesthetic than ornithological on Nakamizo’s part. About the Artist: Born in Fukuiken, Japan, Nakamizo—whose name sometimes was spelled “Fugi”—immigrated to the US in 1907, living in Grand Rapids, MI and working as a decorator. He later moved to New York and studied at the Art Students League with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_DuMond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frank DuMond</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pennell" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph Pennell</a>. During the early 1920s, he appears to have created an etching of the medical researcher Dr. Hideyo Noguchi that hung in the Nippon Club, New York (Piper). By the 1930s he was fairly well known, especially for his etchings of birds, and exhibited at places like the League Gallery (1933), Montross Gallery (1934), the Brooklyn Museum (1935), the Art Institute of Chicago (1935); and the Carl Fischer Gallery (1936). In 1936 he contributed photographs and illustrations to feminist author Baroness Shidzue Ishimoto’s East Way, West Way: A Modern Japanese Girlhood. In 1943, Nakamizo’s etching “Emblem of Strength and Courage” was chosen for a national exhibition sponsored by the group Artists for Victory; this painting of <a href="https://www.loc.gov/item/2003672396/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an American eagle</a> surrounded by warplanes may have been ironic, since <a href="https://2.americanart.si.edu/pr/library/2010/gaman/gaman_checklist.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">some sources</a> place him at a Japanese internment camp during World War II. 2 works at <a href="https://americanart.si.edu/artist/fugi-nakamizo-3485" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smithsonian American Art Museum</a>. 3 works at <a href="https://emuseum1.as.miami.edu/people/1489/fuji-nakamizo/objects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lowe Art Museum</a>. 6 works at <a href="http://digitalarchives.queenslibrary.org/search/browse/%2A?fq%5B0%5D=sm_relation%3AQueens%20Library%20New%20Deal%20Art%20Project%20Artwork&f%5B0%5D=sm_creator%3AFuji%20Nakamizo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queens Library</a>. 1 work at the <a href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/art-object-page.145773.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Gallery of Art</a>. 6 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-17-folder-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Peonies Description An account of the resource This oil on canvas still-life features a modestly decorated table. The primary object, the vase of overflowing peonies, demands our attention. A few, smaller objects also adorn this table such as small candles, a looking glass, and a gold statue. At first glance, it is easy to miss the oversized plate that sits like a shadow behind the peonies. It takes on a natural personality, such as a full moon, especially when juxtaposed behind bright and delicate flowers. There is a balance between natural and man-made objects in this piece, an arrangement of flowers from the outdoors complements the craftsmanship of the statue or the plate. This is a celebration of the domestic sphere, balancing unpredictable nature with human ability. About the Artist: Born in Dresden, Germany, Schiff immigrated to the US in 1915 with her mother Lydia and father Jacob, a portrait painter. Her formative years were spent in Chicago, where she received training from her father and was featured at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1934. Her work also was exhibited by the Hadassah women’s Zionist organization of that city. Shortly thereafter, perhaps in 1935, Schiff moved to New York and took classes at the Art Students League, meanwhile showing her work at the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit. Although her paintings at the New Deal Gallery collection consist of still lifes, Schiff took great pleasure in portraiture; at a 1941 show she sketched visitors to her own exhibit and then displayed them on the walls (“Art Show”). The physicist Albert Einstein was a subject of her sketching. In 1943 she married James Vrettos, then moved to Colorado in 1956. Schiff’s work took a turn toward more chimerical subject matter, described by gallery director Simon Zalkind as tableaux of paper-doll characters: “Schiff's women, alternately alluring, playful and coy are always being seen. Figuratively and often literally, they are ‘on stage’. As Schiff's work evolves through the decades her women progressively lose the appearance of physical solidity, acquiring instead cartoon-like curves and contours. Bodies are flattened and appear to float weightlessly.” Her son recalls that Schiff “remained a loving, joyous, positively spirited person until the end of her life—true to her name Luba—Luboff in Russian meaning love.” 3 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-20-folder-32">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Peonies Description An account of the resource The focus of the still life painting is a vase of multicolored peonies. Spector shows skillful creation of the 3D geometric forms of the flower petals and vase, with a light source coming from the bottom right. The background is unusual in its abstraction, it suggests the idea of a corner of a room. It uses the same color palette as the flowers, with thin paint and visible brush strokes. About the Artist: About the Artist: Little is known about George Spector. He was a Russian immigrant to the United States and lived in the New York City area. Between 1913 and 1914 he got a diploma from the Cooper Union Night School of Art and received recognition for the category “Drawing from Life.” Given Spector's grasp of detail and three dimensional modeling, it seems possible that he had formal art training prior to the Cooper Union. He exhibited at the Salons of America in 1926 and 1927. 2 works at the <a href="https://www.nga.gov/collection/artist-info.8083.html?artobj_artistId=8083&sortOrder=CHRONOLOGICAL&pageNumber=1&lastFacet=sortOrder" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Index of American Design</a>. 7 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-21-folder-35" target="_blank" rel="noopener">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.
