黑料不打烊

Drawn from the collection of Robert C. and Elizabeth B. Sanchez, Turmoil and Triumph features over 70 prints, drawings, watercolors, and posters by more than 50 artists working between 1935 and 1945. This dynamic exhibition captures in graphic form pressing social issues and events of the years leading up to and during WWII. A number of the works also show Americans going about their daily lives, with the war nearly always on their mind.

Among the artists represented are John Sloan, Thomas Hart Benton, Howard Cook, Robert Gwathmey, Helen West Heller, Rockwell Kent, Joseph Meert, and Mitchell Siporin. The Sanchez Collection also contains significant prints from the exhibition America in the War, sponsored by Artists for Victory, which opened in October 1943 at 26 American museums simultaneously.  This group includes works by Letterio Calapei, Sam Greenburg, Gwathmey, Jolan Gross-Bettelheim, and J. Jay McVicker.  Several large-scale posters are also featured, including those designed by Ben Shahn and Norman Rockwell.

This exhibition is diverse in style, media, and approach: from more regionalist printmaking to highly abstract poster design, from modernist experimentation to surrealistic imagery. Many of the artists鈥� names are not well known today, but their powerful works and innovative artistic vocabulary continue to engage us. Turmoil and Triumph is both visually dramatic and historically rich.
