description: oil on canvas
description: 10 3/4 x 11 13/16 x 1 1/2 in. framed
description: Image is completed in the style of an orange crate label and based on a photo by Dorothea Lange.These paintings by Ben Sakoguchi are part of the artist’s Orange Crate Label series. They mimic the brightly colored labels that were found on wooden produce cartons from the 1880s–1950s. To invoke the inspiration of these paintings, he even prefers they be installed in a vertical line as though stacked crates. Sakoguchi’s works relate to historical and current issues and events, depicting infamous characters or abuses of power. “When I paint with these labels,” he says, “it’s disarming, no matter the subject. People don’t want to be lectured about politics or race, so I use images and colors that soften the blow.” In this selection, Sakoguchi shows violent Chilean dictator August Pinochet and Gen. John L. DeWitt who, during WWII, advocated for and organized Japanese internment camps into which Sakoguchi and his family were forcibly relocated. Another shows the US Air Force stationed in a Thai base which was used as a launching pad for hundreds of bombing raids in Northern Vietnam.

Benton Spruance’s Spinner Play, 1934, depicts college kids from the University of Pennsylvania. Spruance’s print, in its extreme stylization of the figures, aims to reveal the essential power of the game, the brute force of one team pitted against another. The game was brutal too: in 1931 there were 40 college fatalities, a figure which diminished only slightly throughout the decade.

description: Charles Locke’s Hole in the Wall (1930) presents a typical situation, a group of men at the bar—in this case finishing their lunch. Locke vitalizes the scene with class difference: sitting side-by-side but not interacting, the men in the foreground are carefully distinguished by their dress to suggest different socioeconomic backgrounds. The man on the left, with his cloth cap, sweater under his jacket and downcast eyes fulfills the expectations of a working class type, while the man next to him wears a hat with a brim, a tie, is looking up; to complete the difference, he smokes a cigar while the other smokes a cigarette.

description: Clement Haupers’ Shore Leave (1935) presents a sailor’s impressive backside to us while three women admire his front, eyeing all the different particulars. Above them an ironic display of song titles: After Every Party, Turn out the Lights, Fit as a Fiddle, Here Lies Love, Take Me in Your Arms, Contend, and Til Tomorrow fill out the lower register, while above float And So To Bed, Night and Day, All of Me and others. The sentences they spell out are quite obvious. Hauper cleverly exposes the extreme sexuality of popular music—most of it aimed at women—and exposes its effect.

creator: Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. After graduating high school and attending a summer course at San Diego School of Fine Arts, Don moved to New York, where he studied at the Art Students' League and developed a passion for theater. Don spent much of his time on Broadway and could often be found backstage, sketching actors and capturing everything that happened both on and off the stage in his sketchbook. He supported himself by playing his trumpet in a dance band, but after losing his trumpet on the subway Don decided to turn his attention to his sketches. During the 1930s and 40s, he was a brilliant illustrator of New York City life in the best traditions of Social Realism. His subjects were the actors and actresses of Broadway—from the LGBTQI+ icon Orson Welles to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne to the man in the street or the charwomen who scrubbed the stage after the actors and the audience went home. His cartoons and other illustrations appeared regularly in the New York Herald Tribune, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and Theater Magazine. Freeman also self-published Don Freeman's Newsstand, a short-lived quarterly magazine, each page of which was an original lithograph. Freeman was also a jazz musician and the brother of hotel entrepreneur Warren Freeman. As Freeman's career progressed, he lightened his palette and depicted more upbeat subjects. In 1951, he began illustrating children's books. He took his first step into children's literature when he was asked to illustrate for William Saroya. He quickly began writing and illustrating his own children's books, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them the stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. He collaborated frequently with his wife, Lydia, a fellow author and artist. Do…

creator: Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. After graduating high school and attending a summer course at San Diego School of Fine Arts, Don moved to New York, where he studied at the Art Students' League and developed a passion for theater. Don spent much of his time on Broadway and could often be found backstage, sketching actors and capturing everything that happened both on and off the stage in his sketchbook. He supported himself by playing his trumpet in a dance band, but after losing his trumpet on the subway Don decided to turn his attention to his sketches. During the 1930s and 40s, he was a brilliant illustrator of New York City life in the best traditions of Social Realism. His subjects were the actors and actresses of Broadway—from the LGBTQI+ icon Orson Welles to Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne to the man in the street or the charwomen who scrubbed the stage after the actors and the audience went home. His cartoons and other illustrations appeared regularly in the New York Herald Tribune, The New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and Theater Magazine. Freeman also self-published Don Freeman's Newsstand, a short-lived quarterly magazine, each page of which was an original lithograph. Freeman was also a jazz musician and the brother of hotel entrepreneur Warren Freeman. As Freeman's career progressed, he lightened his palette and depicted more upbeat subjects. In 1951, he began illustrating children's books. He took his first step into children's literature when he was asked to illustrate for William Saroya. He quickly began writing and illustrating his own children's books, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them the stuffed, overall-wearing bear named Corduroy. He collaborated frequently with his wife, Lydia, a fellow author and artist. Do…

creator: b. United States, 1901 - 1990 Fritz Eichenberg was a German-American illustrator and arts educator who worked primarily in wood engraving. His best-known works were concerned with religion, social justice and nonviolence. Eichenberg was born to a Jewish family in Cologne, Germany, where the destruction of World War I helped to shape his anti-war sentiments. In 1923 he moved to Berlin to begin his career as an artist, producing illustrations for books and newspapers. In his newspaper and magazine work, Eichenberg was politically outspoken and sometimes both wrote and illustrated his own reporting. In 1933, the rise of Adolf Hitler convinced Eichenberg, a public critic of the Nazis, to emigrate with his wife and children to the United States, where he settled in New York City for most of the remainder of his life. He taught art at the New School for Social Research and at Pratt Institute and was part of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Project. In his prolific career as a book illustrator, Eichenberg worked with many forms of literature but specialized in material with elements of extreme spiritual and emotional conflict, fantasy, or social satire, illustrating such authors as include Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Charlotte and Emily Brontë, Poe, Swift, and Grimmelshausen. He also wrote and illustrated books of folklore and children's stories. Though he remained a Quaker until his death, Eichenberg was also associated with Catholic charity work through his friendship with Dorothy Day—whom he met at a Quaker conference on religion and publishing in 1949—and frequently contributed illustrations to Day's newspaper the Catholic Worker until he died in 1990.
