Organized by the Brooklyn Museum, the upcoming exhibition American Moderns, 1910-1960: O'Keeffe to Rockwell, explores a wide variety of American art from the first half of the twentieth century. The exhibition consists of fifty-one paintings and four sculptures by such prominent artists as Georgia O'Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Milton Avery, Stuart Davis and Arthur Dove. Drastic social, political and economical changes during this time period challenged artists to define what could be considered "modern" from a wide variety of definitions. From abstraction and cityscapes to realism and nature, these works selected from the Brooklyn Museum's permanent collection offer a new perspective on American modern art.

Opening night reception: February 15, 2013
Enjoy entertainment, light hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar before previewing the exhibition. See website to purchase tickets.

Photographer Rebecca Soderholm focuses on Upstate New York, its people and landscape, while capturing a collective human spirit in today’s world. For the Window Projects, "Crescendoe," is titled after one of the many tanneries that produced leather gloves in Johnston, NY during the first half of the 20th century, nearby where the work for this exhibition was created.

Developed as three panels that fit the large Warehouse Gallery windows, Soderholm accentuates the three-dimensionality of a fence, underlines the painterly qualities of a photographed landscape, and reveals her own fascination with the beauty of often forgotten landscapes. Born in Syracuse, New York, Soderholm received her B.F.A. in Photojournalism from the Rochester Institute of Technology and her M.F.A. in Photography from Yale University, School of Art where she studied with Todd Papageorge and Gregory Crewdson.

An Assistant Professor of Photography at Drew University (Madison, New Jersey), Soderholm’s most recent exhibition, Upstate was shown at 511 Gallery in New York City in the Spring of 2012. She currently lives in Upstate New York and Madison, New Jersey. This is her first solo museum show.
