About the Exhibition

“Art For Every Home: Associated American Artists, 1934-2000” and its accompanying publications provide the first comprehensive overview of Associated American Artists (1934-2000), the commercial enterprise best known as the publisher of prints鈥攕old via mail-order catalogue鈥攂y Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry and Grant Wood, among others.

The exhibition addresses not only AAA鈥檚 storied involvement in the popularization of American prints in the 1930s, but also its ongoing promotion of American art over six decades. Through aggressive marketing of studio prints, ceramics and textiles, and associations with corporate advertisers, AAA sought to bring 鈥渙riginal鈥 American art over the threshold of every American home. 鈥淔rom Studio to Doorstep 鈥 Wherever You Are,鈥 the company promised in a 1945 mail-order brochure.聽 鈥淣o longer would the would-be possessor of a beautiful picture have to go to town and visit an art dealer; or still harder, hire somebody to do it for him. Quite the contrary! Every American post office [is] to be like a branch agency for the creations of the pick of American artists.鈥

The exhibition鈥檚 co-curators are Liz Seaton of the Beach Museum of Art and Jane Myers, former curator at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas. Scholar Gail Windisch, Los Angeles, is a third important contributor to the exhibition. Her original research served as the base for the project.聽 Art for Every Home: has been organized by the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art, Kansas State University.聽 Major funding for the exhibition has been provided by The Henry Luce Foundation, Edward and Karen Seaton through the R.M. Seaton Endowment for Exhibitions, and The Ross and Marianna Kistler Beach Endowment for the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art. Additional support has come from the International Fine Print Dealers Association, Russell Clay Harvey and Patricia McGivern, and Candyce Russell.
