Rediscovering the Art of Victoria Hutson Huntley May 22 – August 15, 2021
This exhibition represents all three. It also shows her different areas of interest: landscape, human figures and close-up views of the nat- ural world. Nature, especially the Everglades, was a common theme during her time in Florida, where she created many lithographs of bird life. The exhibition is accompanied by an issue of the museum’s Bulletin, with essays on Huntley’s life and work by the two curators, for purchase in the Museum Shop.
During the 1930s and 1940s, Victoria Hutson Huntley (1900 – 1971) was one of America’s leading lithographers.
Delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this exhibition is avail- able online, too. Huntley produced more than 100 lithographs and a small number of intaglio prints from 1930 until her death. Major mu- seums across the country purchased her work, as did many collectors. Her work can be divided into three periods, based on her earlier life in the North, her residence in Florida (1946 – 53) and her return North.
Curators: Stephen J. Goldfarb, independent scholar, and Lynn Barstis Williams Katz, librarian emerita for art and special collections at Auburn University
