Title A name given to the resource The Carolyn and Edwin Gledhill Photography Collection Description An account of the resource In 1986, Keith Gledhill donated to the AD&A Museum a collection of over 100 photographic materials by his mother and father, Carolyn and Edwin Gledhill. Arriving in 1917, the recently married couple, opened their portrait studio on Chapala Street, one block from the infamous oceanfront Potter Hotel which is now Ambassador Park near Stearns Wharf. Although industrial growth was progressing rapidly throughout the United States, Santa Barbara remained focused on architecture, civic value and pageantry focusing on the city’s cultural elite. This made it a haven for a diverse and growing community of artists and professionals allowing the Gledhills easy access to subjects for their portraiture business. Carolyn and Edwin lived an unconditional lifestyle which was deemed scandalous by early 20th Century standards: at the time of their marriage, Edwin was 19 and Carolyn in her 30s. This unorthodox lifestyle mirrored itself in real life while Edwin was often viewed as the primary photographer of the studio, it was really Carolyn who was the professional. Edwin would pose the subjects but it was only when Carolyn found the pose to her liking that she would pull the shutter. This often resulted in empowered appearing women suggesting an early expression of feminism. But Carolyn had an untimely death in the 1930s while Edwin continued with the photography studio preserving in print Santa Barbara’s historic resources. The Gledhill collection is augmented with additional photographs by Henry Ravell, a colleague and fellow photographer who arrived in Southern California from New York in 1914.

Title A name given to the resource The Ken Trevey Collection of American Realist Prints Description An account of the resource The AD&A Museum is indebted to UC Santa Barbara alumnus Ken Trevey for this significant contribution to the Museum’s holdings in graphic arts. The Ken Trevey Collection tells the stories of Americans across a broad socio-economic spectrum during the 1930s and 1940s. In addition, the Trevey Collection provides the vehicle for an in-depth investigation into the history of printmaking during the Great Depression in the United States. As a body of prints created during the first period of significant government support for the arts, the Trevey Collection is of value to students and scholars across numerous disciplines, including art history, American history, race and gender studies, and economic history. In its inaugural exhibition at the Museum, works from the Trevey Collection were grouped around several themes: realistic urban dramas countered by idealized country settings, women in the world, men in industry, couples and lovers, old boys’ clubs, and the preoccupation with body image as rendered in scenes of sports and medicine. At the center of these thematic groupings, one finds in the Trevey Collection numerous images of African-American life. In their treatment of the African-American experience, the prints vacillate between a growing yet complicated acknowledgment of the hardships of racism and stereotyped imagery reflective of the limited white perceptions of black realities. “Prints…are the most democratic form of pictorial art,” wrote the organizers of the print section at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. The Trevey Collection of American realist prints exemplifies this statement through its diverse depictions of rural and urban, black and white, male and female, empowered and impoverished. Ken Trevey was a television screenwriter and his interest in stories is felt clearly in these prints. Physical Object An inanimate, three-dimensional object or substance.
