Morality Tales
Sunday October 14, 2012 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Seattle Art Museum Downtown
1300 1st Ave
Seattle, Washington 98101 Get Directions
The Great Depression, fascism in Europe, America's entry into world war--the dark forces that changed the western world forever in the decade from 1930 to 1940--upended America's art establishment as artists channeled moral outrage into a new sense of social purpose. Some of the most radical artists of the day were those who organized on behalf of workers' rights and civil rights, and the ideals of a free society, including freedom of artistic expression. This installation features works by these socially and politically engaged artists. Drawn entirely from SAM's collection, it is occasioned by the recent gift of works by Mervin Jules and Joseph Hirsch, from Allan and Nenette Harvey of Seattle. These are joined with paintings and drawings by Seattle artists Abe Blashko, Rudolph Zallinger, and Alton Pickens.
