Imprinting
the South: Prints from the Collection of Lynn Barstis
Williams and Stephen J. Goldfarb
From
etchings to relief prints, lithographs and a few serigraphs,
this exhibition primarily focuses on Southern subjects from
the 1920s to the 1940s with some prints from the etching
revival period of the 1880s as well as some works from the
contemporary era.
A
former Auburn University library faculty member, Lynn Williams
began collecting these images for her research. Williams and
Goldfarb have made an effort to acquire prints exposing both
positive and critical views of the South. The beauty of the
South is demonstrated in this exhibition through scenes of landscape,
architecture, worship and entertainment, while the critical
perspective focuses mainly on race. Charleston, S.C., and New
Orleans, L.A. , are highlighted because of the distinct architectural characteristics
of both cities. Some of the artists included are Robert Gwathmey, Alfred
Hutty, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner and W. R. Locke.

This
exhibition will survey works by artists who have repeatedly
focused on neurosis of various kinds in their work, using
themselves and the people around them as fodder for their
investigations. During the past fifteen years, inspired by
the work of several prominent older artists, a younger generation
has been exploring he peculiarities of the human psyche in
their video works, installations, photographs, paintings,
and drawing.
