March 7, 1941: An exhibition that will present a cross section of graphic work by American artists will be arranged by the Print Department of the Brooklyn Museum, under the title of “Exhibition of American Artists in the Brooklyn Museum’s Print Collection.” The exhibition opens March 7 and will continue through April 20.

Some of the outstanding examples that will be shown are Bellow’s famous lithograph “Stag at Sharkey’s”; three drypoints and aquatints in color from a set of twelve by Mary Cassatt, of which only twenty- five impressions each were made; and a rare lithograph by Mary Cassatt, one of three impressions known. Others are Pop Hart’s well-known “Cock Fight,” from the nearly complete collection of works by Pop Hart owned by the Museum; Winslow Homer’s first proof of “Mending the Nets”; several Whistler prints, and one by Pennell.

The contemporary group includes Frederico Castellon’s “Rendezvous in a Landscape” which won the Logan Prize at the Chicago Art Institute’s Seventh Print International in 1939; Don Freeman’s much-talked-of “Newstand,” first edition, and Velonis’ “Half-Ton Fish.” Velonis is well known for his pioneer work in Serigraph Prints, more commonly known as Silk Screen Prints.

This exhibition is Interesting from the point of view of all the techniques used, from woodcuts to silk screen.

"Hi Aimee, I think you mean Oreet Ashery? More information can be found in her profile on the Feminist Art Base: http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/eascfa/feminist_art_base/gallery/oreet_ashery.php?i=266"

"Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"

Prints, Drawings and Photographs

Over the years, the collections of the Brooklyn Museum have been organized and reorganized in different ways. Collections of the former Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs include works on paper that may fall into other categories: American Art, European Art, Asian Art, Contemporary Art, and Photography.

The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site. The releases range from brief announcements to extensive articles; images of the original releases have been included for your reference. Please note that all the original typographical elements, including occasional errors, have been retained. Releases may also contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.

For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the informative text panels written by the curator or organizer. Called "didactics," these panels are presented to the public during the exhibition's run, and we reproduce them here for your reference and archival interest. Please note that any illustrations on the original didactics have not been retained, and that the text may contain errors as a result of the scanning process. We welcome your feedback about corrections.

For select exhibitions, we have made available some or all of the objects from the Brooklyn Museum collection that were in the installation. These objects are listed here for your reference and archival interest, but the list may be incomplete and does not contain objects owned by other institutions or lenders.
