This exhibtition provides the first comprehensive and critical overview of Associated American Artists (AAA), the commercial enterprise best known as the publisher of prints by Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry, and Grant Wood.
About
This exhibition addresses not only AAA’s storied involvement in popularizing 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 advertising agencies, AAA sought to bring “original” American art to every American home via mail delivery. The exhibition is organized by the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University and will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
