Enduring America: Selections from the Collection of Art and Peggy Hittner
The works in this exhibition include portraits and genre scenes primarily from the 1930s and early 1940s, with the subject matter providing an almost diaristic account of ordinary lives in an extraordinary time. The decade leading up to the Second World War saw the twin disasters of the Great Depression and the Dustbowl Years, two monumental calamities that radically altered our nation’s self-perception as a place of endless resources and limitless opportunity. It is a profound paradox that this same decade — in which basic survival was often at stake — gave rise to an unprecedented visibility for American artists and to a sincerely and broadly held belief in these men and women as vital forces in our collective “recovery.” $25
