'Workers scurry like busy ants to complete the University of Pittsburgh’s lofty Cathedral of Learning. The men and trucks trample the winter’s snow into mud as they labor through the frigid winter of 1933–1934 to house much-needed new classrooms. Carpenters nail timbers together to finish the scaffolding. The main part of the structure rises at the upper right, already clad in limestone blocks, while masons are still covering the lower stories of the façade... Behind the Cathedral of Learning stand the gleaming white columns of the Mellon Institute Building, which was also under construction. ... Together, the two paintings tell the story of this mighty undertaking. ... Like the Empire State Building & the Golden Gate Bridge, the Cathedral of Learning demonstrated that the...Depression could not stop Americans from accomplishing great things.'

‘Artist Harry Scheuch painted the Cathedral of Learning twice for the PWAP. The first image is a close-up view of the masons at work, while this second painting is a more distant view that reveals the horde of workers involved. Together the two paintings tell the story of this mighty undertaking. The forty-two-story structure was not substantially completed until 1937, and some interior work continued for decades after that. Like the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge, the Cathedral of Learning demonstrated that the Great Depression could not stop Americans from accomplishing great things.’ images and words quoted from https://www.flickr.com/photos/americanartmuseum/3314830802/in/pool-1934/

Lamp with holiday ribbon and holly next to a carved wood panel with the name Roentgen

Double pun on the art show theme: lamp with holiday decorations illuminates carved panel honoring Wilhelm Roentgen, discoverer of X-rays.

I'm grateful for books and libraries, dinosaurs with rainbow scarves, vaccines, flowers and smartphones. 🫶📖🦕

It rattled when the man with the title opened his blue bedside dream journal. It rattled when he closed it. It rattles when I say goodnight, it rattles when you say goodmorning.
