In the first retrospective of William Gropper (1897–1977) to be held in Washington, DC, visitors to Artist of the People at The Phillips Collection are asked to look introspectively at the federal government as a fearmonger and censor of mid-century visual culture.
In an often-cited 1935 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Sargent Claude Johnson (1888 – 1967) described his interest in painted and glazed sculpture “not solely as a technical problem, but also as a means of heightening the racial character of my work.” The present retrospective at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens represents the artist’s first in twenty-five years.
