“Art Makes Us Human”
MARY PERRY
STONE 1909-2007 Feb. 5th - Mar. 7th, 2010
We greatly appreciate those 60 - 70 intrepid visitors, including Dayton Mayor
Gary Leitzell, who braved the snow and cold Friday
to join us at the gallery for the opening of this powerful exhibition. It was lots of fun and a pleasure seeing everyone.
A very big thank you to Ramie Streng (Mary's daughter) for making this
exhibition possible and for the generous
donation of several of her Mary's works so that we can share them at future
venues.

Mary Perry Stone was one
of the forty women sculptors on the New York City Federal Arts
Project (commonly referred to as the WPA). It was during this time
that she began to focus her artwork on social protest work, which
became her lifelong interest.
During the 1930's and
1940's, Stone exhibited at the New York Metropolitan Museum,
Carnegie Hall, New York University, Rockefeller Center, The Roerich
, The New School for Social Research, Radio City, Independence Hall,
the ACA Gallery and the Municipal Gallery in New York City.
Throughout her long life, Mary created all kinds of work, with all kinds of themes, but it was all grounded in her belief that an artist, granted he or she has the ability, has a responsibility to work for a more humane world. She, like so many of her fellow artists, was influenced by the Great Depression and her activist involvement as a WPA artist in New York City.” |
