Painting
For many years, works from the annual Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition were purchased by MAG for the permanent collection. Fishwife, by Syracuse artist Paul S. Berry, is an example of such an acquisition made from the 1952 show. Its survival may rest on the fact that it entered the museum’s collection so soon after it was painted, as every August the artist would evaluate the contents of his studio and destroy anything that wasn’t up to his exacting standards.
According to Berry’s widow, Fishwife is painted in a style quite different from most of his work. A turbaned Haitian woman lifts an enormous, wide-eyed fish from a wicker basket; the diagonal line of her muscular arm echoes the ramshackle roofline of the building behind her. The influence of photography is seen in the arm of a third person poking in from the left side of the composition.

Painting
From her limited formal art training, Hilda Altschule Coates evolved a personal and expressive style. What could Coates have embedded in this seemingly symbol-laden still life arranged in a corner of her apartment on Alexander Street? The initial sensation the viewer experiences is vertigo due to the dizzying perspective of the table and the white lily leaning towards the open third-floor window. Curiosity comes next. Who are the seven glasses for? Shouldn’t the lemon be in the empty fruit bowl rather than on the precipitously-tilted table? And why a white lily, traditionally a symbol of purity located near the Virgin Mary in paintings of the Annunciation? Unfortunately, a personal interpretation is lost to us as this painting was given to the Gallery after the artist’s death in 1983.
[Label text from It Came From the Vault exhibition, 2013]
“My art education is, and has been, without benefit of art school. I say this neither boastfully nor apologetically, simply with a wish to report the facts.” So wrote Hilda Altschule Coates, whose formal art training consisted of an undergraduate painting class while she worked on a degree in natural sciences at Hunter College, and another while pursuing her master’s degree in philosophy at Cornell University. Studying and working on her own, she evolved a style which she felt depended upon emotive rather than cerebral elements for its impact.
Many of Altschule’s paintings of the 30s and 40s are studies of interiors that draw the eye around a room and out the window to the world outside. This particular canvas shows the view from her apartment on Alexander Street in Rochester. The eccentric perspective and a fascination with surfaces – the cloudy glass of the goblets, the reflective tray upon which they rest, the warm patina of an antique table, and the glossy leaves of the lily plant – are characteristic of Altschule’s early work.
The lily is a symbol of purity; legend has it that the first lily sprang up from the tears Eve shed when she was expelled from the Garden of Eden.

Wayne Thiebaud's early career in California as a cartoonist and a commercial illustrator influenced his later work. At the age of thirty, he returned to art school and started his notable career as an artist and art professor soon after finishing his Master's degree.
His subject matter more than his artistic style or philosophy has allied him with the Pop Art movement. Thiebaud started painting images of everyday objects, including gumball machines, cakes, sandwiches and candy, in the early 1960s. In 1962, he exhibited at the Allan Stone Gallery and the Sidney Janis Gallery in New York, precisely when Pop Art was taking center stage. While many Pop artists, including Warhol and Lichtenstein, tried to give their work a machine-made look, the hand of the artist remains evident in Thiebaud's work.

Gallery label text 2012:
By choosing a common consumer item like a soup can as his subject and using commercial techniques to print it repeatedly, Andy Warhol forever altered the modern concept of art and value. His first Campbell’s Soup cans, painted and exhibited in 1962, consisted of 32 canvases, each one a variety of soup then produced by Campbell’s. They were displayed in a gallery on wall-mounted shelves to mimic their appearance in a grocery store. Over the next 20 years, Warhol repeatedly revisited the subject. In 1969, he made Vegetarian Vegetable as part of his Campbell’s Soup II portfolio. Below are three other prints from the portfolio of ten:
