Major exhibition catalogue .

This special, temporary display featured a survey of 100 American works on paper, created during the second quarter of the 20th century, including the era of the Great Depression and World War II. The works on paper in Art U.S.A. represent “The American Scene,” a country-wide affinity among artists for images of everyday urban and rural life and of the regional landscape, and for reflections on the cultural identity of the United States in the 1920s through the 1940s. Most of the artists, counting significant numbers of immigrants or children of immigrants, women, and artists of color, in the exhibition participated in at least one of the many federal government-supported art programs during the Depression.

Art U.S.A. also included a loan of a painting, connected to the history of post office murals in our region, from the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

The exhibition operated as the first major show of Vachon’s works since 1979, and served as an initial attempt at research on and interpretation of his image-making. The display included 70 works of art, many borrowed from Alan Wofsy Fine Arts and the (then) Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus.
