Family treasures, 29 exquisite etchings and drawings by social realist Isabel Bishop (1902-1980), were generously provided by Lila Berle, whose parents had a close relationship with the artist. Acclaimed for her depictions of New York City and women engaged in domestic tasks, Bishop also taught at the Art Students League, where she emphasized the importance of drawing from life. Original illustrations by Norman Rockwell’s nephew, Richard Rockwell (1920-2006), an accomplished courtroom and comic book artist, were generously donated by illustrator Murray Tinkelman, who was a personal friend. An important women’s magazine illustration by Al Parker (1906-1985)— the Museum’s first—now accompanies our extensive collection of Parker tearsheets with thanks to Mr. Tinkelman. Robert T. Horvath also continued to build the Museum’s collection with donations of several important original works, including drawings by George Evans (1920-2001) and Cory Kilvert (1879-1946), and paintings by Henry J. Soulen (1888-1965), William Balfour Ker (1877-1918), Bradshaw Crandell (1896-1966), Edwin Roscoe Shrader (1878-1960), and Alice Beach Winter (1877-1970), accompanied by the 1929 Needlecraft Magazine on which her cover art appeared. Powerful World War II themes are reflected in donations of art from Steven Hirsch, who continued to enrich this aspect of the Museum’s collection with original works by Manuel Bromberg (b. 1917), Harry Sternberg (1904-2001), and James Barre Turnbull (1909-1976). We are also grateful to gifted portraitist Everett Raymond Kinstler, who donated original works by three masters of the Golden Age; J.C. Leyendecker (1874-1951), Howard Chandler Christy (1872-1952), and James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960), who was a close friend of the artist. A beautiful Flagg drawing donated by Cathy and Pamela Deely features a portrait of their grandfather, Owen McMahon Johnson (1878-1952), an American writer best remembered for his Lawrenceville Stories, popular tales set in a prestigious prep school. The Deelys also contributed an elegant ink drawing by Frederick Stuart Church (1842-1924). This year, reportage artist Candace Eaton donated 16 works created on location in America’s courtrooms. Her powerful pastel drawings document contentious legal proceedings involving celebrity figures, including Leona Helmsley and O.J. Simpson, among others. We are most grateful to all of our donors for these important additions in support of the Museum’s illustration collecting mission.
