@AHAAamericanart @ucpress Thanks for the shout out! @AHAAamericanart

We've got a reading rec! Check out "Forms of Persuasion: Art and Corporate Image in the 1960s" by AHAA Member @DrAlexJTaylor pub. by @ucpress. The book examines how artists and multinational corporations explored new ways to use art for commercial gain. #MemberSpotlight

Very sad to hear of the passing of #JenniferBartlett. One of my fondest memories from @TateResearch is spending a morning looking one of her fabulous enamel plate works in storage with the brilliant @KirstenSwenson3 as she worked on this research: tate.org.uk/research/in-fo…

‘Mr. Taylor’s “Forms of Persuasion” is a well-researched, revealing account of how avant-garde art and design filled the “fishbowl foyers” of Midtown Manhattan, the imaginations of board members and the pockets of a lucky few artists.’ Thanks for the review @WSJ and @ucpress

Visit "Alone Together: Encounters in American Realism" @TheWestmoreland, curated by AHAA Member @DrAlexJTaylor. The exhibition is open through September 25, 2022. #MemberSpotlight #MuseumExhibition #MagicRealism #ScenePainting #AmericanArt
