In 1908 the London Underground (officially the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, later the London Passenger Transport Board, or LPTB), under the leadership of Frank Pick, began an aggressive promotional campaign that became one of the most successful, adventurous, and best sustained branding operations ever attempted. This poster campaign not only encouraged ridership on the public transport system but also helped to foster a civic identity for the city of London, and the more than five thousand images produced include some of the greatest achievements of poster art. According to art historian Nikolas Pevsner, writing in 1942, “No exhibition of modern painting, no lecturing, no school of teaching can have had anything like so wide an effect on the educationable masses as the unceasing production and display of LPTB posters of the years 1930–40.” — —
The gift to the Center by Henry S. Hacker (Yale College, Class of 1965) of his major collection of transport posters provided the occasion for an examination of these extraordinary works. Art for All featured more than one hundred outstanding posters executed for both the Underground, by designers such as Edward McKnight Kauffer, Frederick Herrick, and Hans Schleger, and for the British railways, by designers such as Tom Purvis and Frank Newbould. The exhibition explored the evolution of transport posters in twentieth-century Britain, highlighting specific features such as the career of Kauffer, the work of women artists, how the posters were initially displayed, and the larger implications of these advertising campaigns. — —

Printmaking flourished in Britain during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, providing an ideal vehicle for Romantic artists who were constantly exploring new means of personal expression. Many painters turned to graphic media, either working independently or collaborating closely with professional engravers, to create some of the most compelling and immediate visual statements of the period. This fascinating subject was explored in successive exhibitions, The Romantic Landscape Print and The Romantic Print in the Age of Revolutions, selected from the Center’s rich print and rare book collections to complement two major exhibitions taking place at the Center that year: Romantic Watercolor: The Hickman Bacon Collection and Romantics & Revolutionaries. — —
The Romantic period was marked by a passionate aesthetic and spiritual engagement with the natural world. The Romantic Landscape Print charted this preoccupation from its origins in the late eighteenth century to its blossoming in the nineteenth century. It featured the work of artists such as J. M. W. Turner, John Constable (who coined the resonant phrase, “The chiaroscuro of Nature”), Thomas Girtin, William Blake, Samuel Palmer, and Norwich School members John Sell Cotman and John Crome. The final section, entitled “Modern Romanticism,” explored the movement’s enduring legacy in twentieth and twenty-first century landscape art, and included works by Richard Long, Hamish Fulton, and Peter Doig, whose spectacular 2001 etching Country Rock was exhibited for the first time in the United States. Special emphasis was placed on technical issues. — —
