Max Arthur Cohn (1903-1998)<\/strong>\u00a0came of age as an artist during a period of crisis and reform in American industry. Among the aims of Franklin Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal programs were reinvigorating industrial production and giving artists stable work. Cohn was one of thousands of artists employed under the New Deal, and industrial subjects pervade this period of his career. He became a pioneering figure in silkscreen printing (a medium associated with commercial production), co-authoring an influential technical manual and running a successful graphic art business in New York City. Although Cohn\u2019s oeuvre encompasses a variety of subjects and stylistic approaches, the intersection of art and American industry wends its way throughout his work in both subtle and overt ways.<\/p>\n

“Max Arthur Cohn: Industrial Subjects” draws from the 51ÁÔÆæ Art Collection \u2013 the largest repository of Cohn\u2019s art \u2013 and explores his engagement with industry in paint, drawing and print. It focuses particularly on the 1930s \u2013 as Americans grappled with the effects of the Depression \u2013 and the 1990s, when Cohn returned to and reconceived many of his New Deal-era compositions. As the exhibition demonstrates, Cohn\u2019s works not only represent industry and labor, but also encourage the viewer to more deeply consider artistic production itself as a form of labor.<\/p>\n

The exhibition runs through Oct. 23.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gallery and events are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
