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>. 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.

Title A name given to the resource Preaching to the Birds Description An account of the resource This work displays a man suspended off the ground, surrounded by a variety of birds. The man himself looks to be St. Francis. The birds surrounding him are varied, with different species and sizes. The etching is darkly colored, primarily using blacks and whites. Behind the subject, the background is almost entirely black. Elements of circular halos can be seen surrounding the man, and rays of light are emanating from his head. About the Artist: Born in Cologne, Germany to a Jewish family, Eichenberg moved to Berlin where he worked ten years for Ullstein Publications, one of the country’s largest publishers. He fled to New York in 1933 amidst the rise of Nazism. One of Eichenberg’s first jobs in the US was creating illustrations for The Nation and he taught art lessons at The New School for five years; later, he founded the Pratt Center for Contemporary Printmaking. Recalling this challenging decade, Eichberg spoke fondly of WPA support for artists like him: “I went there with a few of my wooden engravings, or prints and asked him what I could do. It was just as simple as that. He said, ‘Oh, this is marvelous work. Go ahead and do what you want to do.’ It was that simple. There were no strings attached to it... I got box wood, which is very hard to get—the WPA had kind of a supply room and everything we needed. You had to say what you needed, and you got it. They bought the tools. They bought the gravers and they sharpened the gravers and you took your material home with you. You just picked it up there—beautiful wood blocks, any size” (<a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews/oral-history-interview-fritz-eichenberg-12479#transcript" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oral History Interview</a>). Eichenberg became a sought-after illustrator for more than a hundred books—Poe, Dostoyevsky, Turgenev, Swift, the Brontës, numerous children’s stories—but he was especially moved by a request to create prints for Dorthy Day’s Catholic Worker magazine: “She said she had seen clippings of my work in the hovels of coal miners and so on, people in all parts of the world; people who could not read the Catholic Worker but they understood my very simple images of saints and portraits of people important in the Catholic worker movement.” Eichenberg was a witty commentator on current affairs; his print at the NDG references both St. Francis’s sermon to the birds and the pretensions of high-altitude balloon flights during the 1930s, like those undertaken at the<a href="https://archive.org/details/1933-08-07_Stratosphere_Balloon_Falls" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Century of Progress</a> in 1933. In later life he contributed talks, essays, and books on his medium, including The Art of the Print (1976) and The Wood and the Engraver  (1977).

Initially located on Main Street just west of the Genesee River, it opened in 1827 and then moved to its current location on Union Street in 1905. Thus, the postcard depicts a modern facility supplied by farmers who have traveled via horse and wagon. It wasn't until 1913 that the City of Rochester allowed farmers to sell directly to the public, so this scene is best appreciated as a brokers' market. In the years since, it has remained viable despite the emergence of huge (suburban) grocery chains that doomed public markets in other cities. Today, an estimated 2.4 million people visit the market annually, perhaps 40,000 on a busy Saturday. It remains one of the most economically and culturally diverse locations in the Rochester metropolitan area, and recently has undergone renovations such that a new outdoor shed closely resembles the one pictured on this postcard. market Post Card Public Market Rochester, NY https://openvalley.org/files/original/bdf1670539beeebe5c3d153fdfc02635.jpg 47943d799801ae4544fc4c5a7a1ac9e0 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Queensboro Bridge Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gaige, Richard T[homas], 1907-1992 Description An account of the resource Watercolor by New Deal Gallery artist of bridge crossing the East River near Sutton Place. About the Artist: Born in Candor, NY, Gaige grew up in Binghamton and graduated from the School of Art at Syracuse University. He then moved to New York City where he worked as a painter, a freelance designer, and a teacher at the Parsons School of Design. His own innovations for a line of women’s compacts, cigarette cases, and coin cases for Volupté was recognized at the Museum of Modern Art’s exhibition <a href="https://www.moma.org/documents/moma_catalogue_2789_300190548.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Useful Objects of American Design Under Ten Dollars”</a> (1940). Along with his design work during the 1930s, Gaige was employed by the Federal Art Project. In 1942 he enlisted in the Army, serving first as a structural draftsman at Fort Dix, NJ, where he was featured in a humorous article on subject of slang between soldiers and their sweethearts:“This sugar report is coming straight from second heaven. You should cop a gander at the taxpayers straggling in. This new bunch of handcuffed volunteers has everything including short pants, battle wagons, moss backs, cruisers, modern guineas and a Hollywood private to snow ‘em under” (Cross). Gaige later became a writer-artist for Yank newspaper, traveling to the Middle East. The probable cause for this shift in direction was the positive reaction to his cartoons about military life, eventually collected into a book entitled Me and the Army. One critic wrote that “Every right page is filled with rough and ready sketches, full of life and keen observation, of all that goes on during the early days of training. Gaige may not be a great artist, but is a great observer of human activity from the mass nudity of medical inspection to the calm dignity of church service. The book is really a letter from a soldier to the folks at home—any soldier to any parents” (Dungen). After the war Gaige lived first in Pennsylvania and then in Miami. 11 images at <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/983" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OpenValley</a>. 4 more images at <a href="https://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/federal-art-project-photographic-division-collection-5467/series-1/box-8-folder-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FAP</a>.

Title A name given to the resource Caledonia 1892 Description An account of the resource This collection of images is based upon <a href="https://openvalley.org/files/original/3ae1204165be3bf753a4d31e568da22a.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an 1892 birds-eye panorama of Caledonia, NY</a> 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. 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.” Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Thanks to Tom Tryniski, Fulton History Still Image A static visual representation.

Pullyblank, Livery Description An account of the resource Number 28 on the Burleigh map, just off of Main Street, the stables of Richard Nelson Pullyblank (1863-1951) date to a time when horse-drawn vehicles were the primary alternative to walking. Established in the late 1880s, his livery was praised by the Caledonia "Advertiser" for the quality of his equipment and service: "A specialty is made in supplying carriages for weddings, funerals, receptions, and other entertainments" (17 Jan. 1895). The first image dates to 1904, just before automobiles arrived on the scene; the second from 1916 shows that Pullyblank had been forced to adapt his business towards gasoline-powered farming equipment.
