Celebrating Heroes: American Mural Studies of the 1930s and 1940s
from the Steven and Susan Hirsch Collection
March 5-June 15, Marion Pelton and Hyle Galleries
The 30s and 40s were America's golden age for murals as the everyday worker rose to the status of hero. Murals celebrating the work of miners, farmers and other laborers covered walls in public buildings across the country. Nearly 50 of these sketched preliminary ideas are displayed in this exhibition. On loan from Frances Lehman Art Center, Vassar College.
