New York's Left Bank surveys artists' studios and
institutions dedicated to the visual arts in the two
blocks north of Washington Square in Greenwich Village
in the first half of the twentieth century. Converted
from stables and townhouses, these artists' spaces
evoked the atmosphere of the Latin Quarter in Paris
and became a source of endless fascination for the
public. Here some of America's most important artists
- among them Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Daniel
Chester French, Edward Hopper, Paul Manship, Gaston
Lachaise, and Isamu Noguchi - lived, socialized, and
created numerous works.
The catalogue was published to accompany the
exhibition "Left Bank New York: Artists off Washington
Square, 1900-1950," curated and organized by Virginia
Budny for La Maison Française of New York University, New
York City, last fall. The exhibition will be on view
at the Newhouse Center for Contemporary Art, Snug
Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island, New York,
from March 10 to June 10, 2007.
Libraries can order from Worldwide. The catalogue is also
available from Virginia. Mail order with check payment to:
