      June 7, 1933: Opening June 7th for the summer months, the Brooklyn Museum will display in its gallery, usually devoted to current Exhibitions, a large series of canvasses belonging to the Museum but not recently exhibited. Included with these will be several important loans and recent accessions.

      With its limited exhibition space the Museum is obliged to place in its storage vaults many canvasses that have proved popular with the public. This exhibition will give an opportunity for re-acquaintance with these pictures.

      Many schools and varying tastes in art will be represented. The modern school is represented among others by Edy LeGrand and Medard VerBurgh; and vater colors by Foujita, Thornton Oakley, Bernard Lintott, Willian Zorach, Andre L'Hote and others. For contrast and comparison there names from other days, William Merrit Chase, Bouguereau, Hughes Merle and the romantic P. A. Cot. There is a very good example of an early Corot.

      The late Louis C. Tiffany, founder of the Tiffany Foundation, is represented by a large picture of an Oriental scene. George Hall the American painter of the middle 19th century is the author of a large canvas inspired by the Slavery question. Also among the American represented are the brothers, Francis and Bolton Jones each represented by a characteristic canvas.

      "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"

      Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences

      The Brooklyn Apprentices' Library Association, founded in 1823, reorganized in 1843 into the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The Institute was the umbrella organization for four major Brooklyn institutions: Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children's Museum, and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Several departments of the Institute, especially the Department of Photography, organized exhibitions.
      The Brooklyn Museum Archives maintains a collection of historical press releases. Many of these have been scanned and made available on our Web site.

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.
