The rivers surrounding Manhattan have always attracted swimmers brave – or foolish – enough to endure pollutants and random bits of garbage floating nearby. Fortunately, the quality of New York waterways is currently improving, and sights like the one may be more common in the future.
Looming above the swimmers and boaters enjoying the East River is the Queensborough Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, made famous by Simon and Garfunkel’s album and song (Feeling Groovy). One of the many bridges that have been artists’ favorites, the Queensborough Bridge connects Manhattan and Queens. Over a mile long, it was opened to traffic in 1909. The spires that were part of the original design, and that can be seen in this print, were removed in the 1950s because of their deteriorating condition.

Out of necessity and solidarity artists banded together to survive the Great Depression by collective efforts to make, show, and sell their work. Hugh Botts’ keen sense of humor and ability to market his work is clear in Washington Square Park South. This display of eight of his prints tacked to a fence mimics how he probably displayed his work to sell at the Washington Square Outdoor Art Exhibit (established in 1931). This outdoor, public exhibition of art for sale, similar to the Memorial Art Gallery’s own annual Clothesline Arts Festival, is still in operation today in New York City.
The prints depicted were among Bott’s most successful images; Columbus Circle was reprinted in the 1939 WPA guide to New York, Roosevelt Wing Museum was the feature of an article about the artist in Christian Science Monitor, and House Painter was a prizewinning print noted by the New York Times reviewer as characteristic of the artist’s wit.
[Label text]
Since 1931, artists have shown their works in an annual exhibition in Greenwich Village’s Washington Square. Launched during the Depression by Jackson Pollock, Alice Neel, and other artists seeking to have their work seen and purchased, the show became a popular (and inexpensive) way of gaining recognition.
In this etching, Hugh Botts shows his own works on view in Washington Square. In characteristic fashion, the artist includes his whimsical touches – for example, a trompe l’oeil label with his name and date on it. Look closely, and you’ll find a miniature version of an etching in this exhibition.

This prints by Hugh Botts captures a despair common in Depression-era artwork. Yet, the artist provides a glimmer of hope – visible at the top of Fortune Teller is a New York Times headline referring to the federal work relief programs to hire Americans. In 1936 the Roosevelt Administration founded the Works Progress Administration (WPA) as part of the New Deal. Arts projects were included in this program and artists, including Hugh Botts, were hired by the thousands.

The self-portrait is undated but may have been made in the late 1920s when Botts was a printmaking fellow at the prestigious Yaddo artist colony. Botts presents himself as a dapper draughtsman with his eyebrows arched over his clear gaze. Stylistic references point to self-portraits by earlier artists including James McNeill Whistler. Rather than describe everything about his appearance Botts relies on loose lines, clear description and select dark lines.
