The cards featured in this exhibition offer insight into how artists imagined the holidays. Greetings of the season and wishes for a Happy New Year range from Philip Guston’s watercolor of a cozy winter fire to Ernest Blumenschein’s silk screen of Taos. Whimsy and humor can be found in designs by William Gropper, William T. Wiley and Alexander Calder. Dan Flavin, Hanne Darboven and Kay Sage sent quirky greetings in the form of stickers, Mickey Mouse and rubber bands. Photographers Arnold Newman and Nickolas Muray snapped holiday cheer with their cameras while other artists mailed weavings, collages, paintings and prints. Collectively these holiday cards confirm the irrepressible artistry of their senders.
On Dec. 12 from 1 to 3 p.m., the Archives will offer visitors the chance to turn their holiday inspiration into cards. Artist Ed Bisese, who makes his annual holiday card, will describe his process and then guide participants in creating mail-ready works of art.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
