About the Item
Winold Reiss and the Cincinnati Union Terminal: Fanfare for the Common Man by Gretchen Garner. Ohio University Press, 2016. 160 pages softcover. When Winold Reiss won the commission to design and install the immense mosaic murals in the Cincinnati Union Terminal in 1931, he was already a noted artist. After immigrating to the United States from Germany in 1913, he quickly had become a sought-after portraitist and designer of large public art projects. The Cincinnati Union Terminal murals are extraordinary not only for their size and the boldness of their color and design but also for the artist's use of mosaic, an unusual choice for the time. After Reiss's death, he and his work fell into relative obscurity as tastes and trends in art changed. The terminal itself closed in 1972 and was partially demolished. It reopened in 1990, transformed into the Cincinnati Museum Center, and the awe-inspiring murals of the rotunda are once again on view to the world. Winold Reiss and the Cincinnati Union Terminal collects full-color images of the mosaic murals, including those rescued before the demolition. The author traces from the inception of the mural project and the selection of Reiss to design and construct it, as well as Reiss's own development as an American artist and the artistic and historical context for the work.

Industrial Sublime Modernism & the Transformation of NY's Rivers, 1900-1940
Located in valatie, NY
Industrial Sublime: Modernism and the Transformation of New York's Rivers, 1900-1940 by Kristen M. Jensen, Bartholomew F. Bland, Katherine E. Manthorne, Wendy Greenhouse, and Ellen E. Roberts. Fordham University Press, 2013. 1st Ed softcover. Co-published with the Hudson River Museum, Yonkers. The exhibition ran from October 12, 2013, through January 17, 2014. It was not until the first decade of the 20th century, as artists like Robert Henri and John Sloan turned their attention to the urban scene, that American art shifted its focus from bucolic landscapes to the cities, the towns, the crowds, especially the raucous urban scene of Manhattan, by then the nation's most important city. This movement away from painting the land to painting the life on the street is often seen as a clean break with the depiction of the landscape, and with landscape painting generally as a mainstay of American art in the face of European Modernism. However, artists continued to paint the Hudson River, as well as its tributaries, the Harlem and East rivers, and the great harbor of New York City. What was different was their approach. Giving way the romantic ideals of earlier painters, artists like Henri and Sloan, and later, Georgia O'Keeffe, George Ault, Edward Hopper, and Preston Dickinson...
